After much higgling and piggling
the Free Lunch Litigants in the A. &

They want it thick-some $4,000

Mr. Pou attended the sitting, the

The Cuyler attorneys, having dis

drawn to a close, gave notice that they
were ready TO sign the order asking
for the dismissal of the appeal from
Judge Purnell's orders, filed with the
Circuit Court of Appeals in Rich

AS this brought the case to a point
where the allowances were the next

BATTLE ON THE SEA
WHAT NAVAL WARFARE MEANS
TODAY.
Ocean Conflicts Terrible to Contenn'
plate Since Modern Conditions Have
Made Them So DeadIy-Frightful
Loss OF Life Inevitable.
Especial Correspondence

Few as are the people who can
imagine a battlefield on shore, they
are vastly fewer who can picture with
any certainty the scene Of a naval
conflict.
Terrible, too, as are all scenes Of
warfare, there seems something akin
to sacrilege, to dissertation Of Gods
own realm, in man daring to carry
bloodthirsty, destructive animosities
out upon the stainless blue Of the
pure sea. Yet here, no matter how
terrific the slaughter, how widespread
the destruction wrought by man upon
his fellow-man, the merciful sea, i'm
pollutable, reticent, Immediately eff
faces all trace thereof-hides mans
misdoings from the gaze of high heav-
en-, nor allows the poor remains to
lie and fill the air with pestilence.
And this, of course, more so now
than ever it has been before. In the
days when Britain became the sover-
eign power at sea and her wooden
walls were handled and fought
through whole days in closest prox-
unity with their enemies, it often be-
fell that ships hulled through and
through with shot drifted for many
days, while the handful of unwounded
survivors accomplished tasks such as
make the mind reel to think Of.
They fought for life as flercely as
they had faced their human enemies;
hacked and hewed at the wreckage
around them so that the sea might
take it away with it's deadly danger
to them; doggedly stuck to the pumps,
cleansed the shambles of their ship
for the avoidance Of pestilence, and
held at bay that sense of utter weari-
ness and hopelessness which was the
deadliest foe of all. And the wide,
clean sea around them waited i'm
partially for whatever end was de-
creed them, ready to cover up all
traces of them if they failed to live,
or bear them bravely on its bosom
into port and safety.
In the days of sail and wood there
was something romantic. in spite Of

be very near will there be any posi-
BILE chance of saving the handful of
stalwart swimmers whose superhu-
man struggles have wrenched them
clear of the devouring, down-dragging
eddies. More than a mere handful
there could not be in any case, since
another tremendous difference be-
tween past and present sea fighting is
that the steel-clad monsters go into
battle with hardly man visible, al
most all of them hidden behind mas
sive walls, shut in from the devastat-
ing impact of large projectiles, as
we'll as the horrible hail of Hotchkiss
and Maxim bullets.
The pomp and pageantry Of sea war
fare in Nelson's day, with its stripped
crowds of men swarming about the
incumbered decks, and streaming
flags from every mast, have gone with
the towering ranges of sails and MINI
BILE sailors who leapt about aloft han
ding them during the height Of bat.
tie. The new man-of-war goes into
the fight grim, unadorned, and appar-
emily proceeding by her own volition,
like some unthinkable marine mon
ster begotten Of the elder slime.
To landsman, and even to a mer-
chant seaman, there is something Pc
culiarly terrifying in the notion Of a
sea fight in fog. 1t is time of
terror even in peaceful navigation,
since the great sea breadths seem to
have contracted, and ones faculties
are kept at their utmost tension in
case of running across another ship.
Fog is the only elemental condition
that succeeds in making the great,
wide sea look little place, where not
merely navies have no room to float,
but it seems impossible to avoid COL
liding with the only other ship that
was in sight before those f1eecy walls
of mystery closed in upon the seafar-
ers. Yet the modern sea warrior
among us is trained to welcome that
condition Of things. to dash at utmost
speed through the thickness, and
burst upon his enemy with the sud-
den unexpectedness of the lightning
stroke.
And to add to all these terrible con-
ditions Of modern sea warfare, we
have now the submarine. Not content
with the mighty arena of conflict af-
forded by the open surface Of the sea,
in gale, or fog, or calm, the sea fight
err must now descend into darkness
and silence, the realm of the utterly
unknown, in order that he may haply
hurl, at one fell blow as from burst
ing volcano, into blazing, boiling ruin
and death 800 lives and the revenue
of a principality. For man has even
extended the battle-ground Of the sea.

those winged fleets upon the open
