ONE MACHINE GUN.
Properly Worked i. Eaua, In nn...
=, to Two Hundred Rifles wen
Handled,

The destructive power of the ma
chine gun as compared to the small
arm even in large numbers has been
the subject of interesting trials
abroad, reports of which have reached
the navy department here, says the
Baltimore Sun.
That one machine gun properly and
effectively worked is equal to 200 rifles
in the hands of as many soldiers has
been amply demonstrated. Each shot
from the machine gun works greater
injury also to the body struck than the
small bullet of the army rife, and it's
range is far greater.
In recent trials SO marksmen were
chosen to compete with the Hotch-
kiss eight-millimeter gun, which has
la ely been widely adopted in France
and Germany. The ranges fred were
from 400 to 500 yards. At 500 yards the
81 r'nemen, each having five rounds in
obtained "a hits, OF 22.6
ape1 oent. of the number of rounds
nred. Thirty-two men were then
chosen from among the so, and these
had to fire each eight rounds in 80
seconds. Under these conditions "a,
or 1873 per cent. Of the rounds ex-
pended we're recorded.
The achine gun was then brought
into action, and in 38 seconds fred 211
bullets, making 145 hits. 1t was
shown from the results that the ma
chine a4n was far ahead in hits made
and rapiaity of fire. No such practical
tests of the relative merits of the ma
chine gun and number of small arms
have been made before.

Suddenly he became acutely con-

neck. He lurched Indignantly to his
feet, just as a shrill voice exclaimed,
with great distinctness: "Oh, ma,

Making Laws During the Night
There is very marked difference in
the working methods of the United
states congress and the British par
hament which strike the VISITOR from
one country to the other. Some of the
ahlngs that seem peculiar to the
American is the absence of clerks in
the British assembly and the practice
OF members in wearing hats during
the session. Some recent proposals
that the hour of conyening the Brit
1sh parliament be changed call atten-
ton to the striking difference between
1he working methods of that body and
our own congress. Parliame ntapy ses-
s1ons begin late and last;far into the
might. The parliamentary hours, in
deed, have undergone a good many
changes and II it is only ~ years since
radical change was made in them,

Doer' ana accounting, nominally, at
~ instead of at some hour in thatnorn.

PIONEERS HAVE DRY TIME.
Drought Affects Rivers of Lake
Region Long Ecfcre white
Settlers Come.

! set is well known" said William C..
Thompson, relates the Indianapolis
News, 'sthat in its early settlement
Indiana was subjected to extremes
OF heat and cold, though possibly not
to the same extent as now, and that
droughts of considerable severity
sometimes occurred, though not with
the frequency OF recent years. There
is an authentic reference to a
drought of great severity which af-
fected part of the region surround
ing the great lakes and part of the
Ohio valley long before the advent
of the white settler. It occurred in
tie summer aid autumn Of 1854, just
after the close of the French and In
dian war, and while the war with
the Indian tribes, under the leader
ship of Chief Pontiac, was in prog
ress. The drought affected especial
ly the Maumee and Sandusky rivers
flowing into Lake Erie, and the head
waters of the Scioto, Great Miami
and Wabash.
Francis Parkman, the historian,
relates that when a messenger was
sent by the British commander at
Detroit, then recently wrested from
the French, to communicate with
Pontiac, encamped on the Maumee a
short distance below where Fort
Wayne is now situated, the waters of
the Maumee river were SO low by
reason of extreme drought that the
British messenger and his attendants
were compelled to drag their canoes
over rocks and sandbars good part
of the distance from the mouth of
the Maunee, near the present site Of
Toledo, to the headwateEs OF the
stream near Fort Wayne. He also
states that the same autumn a de-
tachment of British soldiers could
not ascend the Sandusky river in
canoes by reason of great drought
and low water when they contempla-
ted subduing the hostile shawnees
in the Scioto valley. Here is record
of widespread drought, while the for
est and prairie were yet primeval and

Duncan declared that the committee had
declared in favor of the very thing
against which in the earlier portion of its
report it had protested. Delegates Reese
and Lewis of the miners, both Of the
committee making the report, declared
that all laboring men asked was that
the injunction should not deprive them
of their national rights and did not pro-
test against the injunction as such. Del
egate Lewis declared: "The trouble with
the laboring men is that they protest
against the law and do not explain why"
He denied emphatically that he wished
to favor government by Injunction" but
thought that widespread condemnation of
the writ of injunction as such was I'M
wise. The debate closed by the com
mittee announcing that it would with
draw the Objectionable sentence from
the report. The report was then adopted.

as great manufacturer of guns. He
was the grandson of Friedrich krupp,
the founder of an industrial kingdom.
The worlds greatest purveyor or the
tools of war, he was at the same time,
nv the very immensely of his operations,
one of the greatest promoters of peace.
Friedrich Alfred Krupp succeeded his
father, the great Krupp, in the control
of the great establishment at Essen four
teen years ago. On his pay rolls there
are more than $4,000 men employed in
making cannon and other munitions OF
war. Thirty-four governments nave
made purchases there, and more than 3d.
900 guns of various sizes are froWnlng
on mankind as the result of his opera
tons. This grandson of Friedrich Krupp
had on the day of his death an annual
income of 100000 Marks, 5000
more than the German Emperor--and
there wasn't king in all the world that
had so many people directly depending
upon him for their livelihood.
The Krupp fortunes did not come cas-
lily. For twenty years after the foundry
was started there was work enough for
only nine men, and sometimes not enough
to pay them. Friedrich krupp's father,
who was the first real head of the gun
works, had to melt down the family Sill
yer to pay wages. Having sold his pat
ent on a new process for manufacturing
silver spoons and silver-plated spoons i'll
England, he devoted the money to tests
along the line of creating a Bessemer
steel of his own invention. All the world
knows that his experiments We're even
tualIy crowned with the most extraordl-
nary success, but at the start his pro-
gress was discouragingly slow. He pluck
lily weathered the hard times of the rev
olution of 1913, though many of his
workmen learned more and lived better
than l." All his efforts were in one di-
rection-the making of steel guns by l'es-
semer process. The day of Sedan, when
1900 Krupp guns battered down one en-
pire to create another, settled the case
once and for all time in favor of hrupp.

WILL SOON CEASE TO BE WARDS.
Nearly 100000 Indians to Become In
dependent Land Owners.


One of the great problems which have
perplexed Congress for more than 100
years will soon be settled Many Of the
Indians will soon cease to be wards of
the government and will become indepen-
dent land owners and citizens, dependent
upon their own exertions for support.
There are 100000 red men in the United
States to-day Nearly 100000 will be
self-supporting under the new order Of
things. They are all members of the
Greek, Cherokee, Choctaw and Chicka-
saw tribes, the officials of which have
recently ratified a treaty negotiated and
adopted by Congress. The government
will make the distribution of land ond
each Indian will hold title to plot of
good grazing and agricultural ground.
When the members Of the tribes above
referred to have been taken care of, other
Indians capable of self-maintenance will
be given lands.
Some six or seven years ago the mem
bers of the five civilized tribes decided
that they would abolish their tribal form
of government and would also divide their
tribal possessions, consisting principally
of land, among those embraced in the FIVE
nations. These include the Cherokees,
Greeks, Seminoles, Choctaws and Chicka-
saws, the five most intelligent and adj
vanced tribes in the country. All their
land is located in the Indian Territory.
and a special commission was created by
Congress to make the alletments. This
was done on a basis different from that
established with other tribes. An en-
rollment was made of the members in the
FIVE nations including something like 81
500 men, and the division was made on
the ground of value rather than area.
For a long time there was strong pre-
judice on the part of the Indians against
surrendering the tribal ownership to the
possessions, and, in fact, this still con-
tinues in many quarters. But outside Of
the lands owned by the five civilized
tribes the government has divided into
severalty more than 100000 acres. Six
ty-five thousand claims have been adjust
ed, giving to each individual an average
of 100 acres.
