Another wartime Song.

Editor National Tribune: 1t may be
that some of the old boys of the Tenth
Corps would be pleased to read one
of the songs that many will remember
as being sung at Hilton Head and other
places of the Department of the South.
The song was composed by Lieut.-Col.
C. G. Halpine, under the nom de plume
Miles O'Riley." 1t was quite effective
in reconciling the men to the use of
colored soldiers (1st and I'd s. CO:
Sambo's Right to BE Kilt.
(Air, The Low-Backed Carr
Some tell us It's a burning shame to
marke the niger fight,
And that the thrade of being kilt be-
longs but to the white;
But as for me, upon me sowl, so liberal
are we here.
I'll let Sambo be murthered instead of
meself on every day of the year.
On every day in the year. boys.
And every hour of the day,
The right to be kilt I'll divide with him,
And diyil word I'll say.
In the battles wild commotion I
shouldn't at all object
If Sambo's body should stop ball that
was comm for me direct,
And the prod OF southern DayOnet, so
generous are we here,
III resign and let Sambo take it on
every day in the year.
On every day in the year, boys,
And wild none of your nasty pride,
All my right in a Southern bayonet
prod
Wild Sambo I'll divide.
The men who object to Sambo should
take his place and fight,
And it's bether to have a nager live than
a liver that wake and white.
Though Sambo's as black as the ace OF
spades his finger a thrigger can
pull
And his eye run straight on the barrel
sight from under his thatch of
wool.
So hear me all, boys. darlin',
Don't think I'm tippin' ye chaff,
The right to be kilt we'll divide wild
him,
And give him the largest half.

Careful Inspection.

The Government has several inspec-
tors on hand to see that all parts are
tested and come UP TO certain require
ments before being finally installed.
The past few months, on board the
proving steamer Sarah Thorpes, an
chored in the secluded waters of Noyak
Bay, near Sag Harbor, Long Island,
daily shooting and trial tests have been
carried on. Each torpedo was made
to come up to the required standard of
efficiency in speed and range, and
afterwards turned over to the Govern
ment at the Torpedo Station, Newport.
The Navy Department assigned q Lieu
tenant and several gunners, the latter
for instruction, to witness and record
the run of each torpedo. These
evolutions offered very favorable
opportunities for catching interest
ing glimpseS at close range of
this epoch-making engine of de-
struction. A fun technical descrip
tion of its ingenious interior mecha
nism is, of course, not available for
publication. This, the United States
though not exclusively controlled by the
Government and being open to other
covers, is likely TO prove of timely in
t2rest to all students of naval warfare,
both here and abroad. The remark
ably high efficiency in speed and range
is brought about by the employment
of superheating process, applied TO
the compressed air-the motive power
and the Introduction of a turbine en-
gine. A fame, automatically ignited the
instant the torpedo is launched from the
tube. superheats the compressed air
The heat is kept at a regulated steady
pressure, causing greater expansion and
energy. This increased motive power,
forced through a 130 II. p. turbine en-
gine, drives the torpedo further and
faster than was possible with the old

officers and men are being instructed
in the mode of firing and otherwise
handling the torpedo under probable
war conditions. Two of the 21inch
have been delivered. This giant is de-
Signed to carry unquestionably one OF
the most destructive charges of ey,
plosives ever stored in a single missile.
The interior of the Bliss Company's
torpedo room in Brooklyn presents a
most animated picture of war prepara-
ton. Scores of skilled men are at work
making and putting together the deli
cate automatic adjustments of the
thousand or more pieces of steel,
bronze, brass and numerous valves
which go to make up the interior
mechanism.

Mimic Execution In SchoolhouSe
Yard Has Almost Fatal
Result.
CUT DOWN BY TIE TEACHER
Children Had Read of Putting to Death
of Murderer at Coudersport, Pa,
aud Decided They Would
Reproduce It.

When attempting to initiate the de
tails of the execution few days ago
of Charles Brewster in Coudersport,
Pa, two schoolboys at West Branch
almost hanged one of their fellows.
When the victim was in the death
struggle he was cut down by Miss
Grace Reynolds, his teacher, and it
was several hours before two physi-
clans pronounced him out of danger
The boy who almost lost his life is
Eddie Bentley, and the lads who elect
ed themselves his "executioners'' were
Clarence Campbell and Glenn Hults
Each of the boys is thirteen years old.
They had read all the details of the
hanging of Brewster, and after school
was dismissed for the day they decid-
ed to initiate the hanging. The boys
had hot argument over the question
Of which of them should impersonate
Brewster, and finally the choice fell by
lot to Bentley.
The school bell rope was cut, and
one end attached to the branch of
tree close to the school. The two Tex
ecutioners" called themselves "sher-
IFS and marched Bentley to the gal
lows" with all the formality they be-
lieved had attached to the hanging of
Brewster. Bentley simulated the weak
heart of the man who died in Couders-
port, and the two "sherIffs" gave sup
port by grasping the lad tightly by the
arms.
Bentley climbed to the top of
fence. and from that elevation the
trap was sprung" When a moose had
been slipped on the boys neck a
"black cap" was made out of hand

bound with cord, and he was unable
to help himself
For few moments Campbell and
Hults did not realize the seriousness of
their prank; then when Bentley began
to choke they rushed in alright to-
ward the school. Miss Reynolds heard
their cries and, rushing out at once,
graSped the situation. She cut tue
rope with pair of scissors which she
carried.
Young Bentley was unconscious
when cut down. His face was black.
AMI for few minutes Miss Reynolds
thought he was dead. The rope had
cut his neck. and blood flowed freely
from the ounds.
