Experts Favor Defenders Chances.

Washington, Aug. 21.-Naval officers
here generally agree that the chances
against the White squadron in the game
which is on are very great, and that
practically its only chance of success
would lie in the existence of heavy
fog. under cover of which Commander
Pillsbuly might slip thru the Gordon of
scouts and reach an anchorage in an
undefended port. The distance between
Cape Cod, the southern extremity of
the coast defended by Admiral Higgin-
sons fleet, and Portland, Me, is only
about 100 miles.
In addition to the torpedo craft and
his lighter ships, which he could use
as scouts and string along between
these points almost within signal dis
lance with each other, While the heav-
Ter ships We're held together ready to
move to some central point, Admiral
Higginson has stationed ensigns all
along the shore to report the enemy the
instant it is sighted. These naval off
GERS will be reinforced by all marine
observers along the coast. To win the
White squadron must be in port six
hours without being confronted with a
superior force.

Always Shoot to Kill.

Second, if YOU see a stranger IN your
room and your revolver is close AT
hand, always shoot to kill him; take
good aim at his body and not at his
head as a larger target is presented,
and your bullet is more likely to reach
home. You are in all probability not a
good shot or. if you are, you will more
likely miss his head than his body. Al
ways fire twice. and thrice if necessary,
before you stop. Ask questions as to
his presence in your room at that hour
afterward.
Have no more compunction about kill
ing a burglar than you would mad

plore mercy of the judge. The man
generally Went free.
They say Gen. Smith ordered the
killing of every human being in his;

That WAS terrible.
That was awful.
That is, it would be, if it had been

no one has been able to find d case OF
