Band Concerts

| Band Concerts on the streets of
Extra every Saturday evening are
not necessity, nor are they an ex-
pensive luxury, but, for the most
part, they are benefit to the wei
fare of cur city.
Who enjoys anything anymore
than to sit around on a hot summer
evening On Saturday night after a
hard weeks work is done, listening
to the strains of music peeling
forth from the band stand? 1t is
needless to say that we all enjoy it..
Now if the band boys are willing
to put in their talent and time, we
as citizens and business men ought
to be willing to donate something
to help pay the expenses.
The expenses, ia a measure, are
not very great, but they are in need
of few new horns, etc, and music
has to be purchased all along DUR
ing the year. Surprising as it may
seem, music for full band costs all
the way from ST 10 SIS per piece.
There is also hall rent to pay and
the expense of moving the platform
to and from the street.
Taking all these facts into consid
eratione you can readily see, that,
after raising the amount asked for,
there is scarcely anything left to be
divided among the boys. An audit
of the books by the writer for the
pact five years of existence of the
baud shows that the money re-
ceived was almost wholly used to
defray the expenses, to say nothing
of the boys receiving any of it as
salary, and at the present time there
is just IL cents in the hands of the
treasurer.
A good many of us are wont to
feel, that, in giving $40 or $15 as
our share, the band boys ought to
be under obligations to US and
chow some appreciation of our eff
fort. We ought not to ass ume that
attitude, as it can be seen they re-
ceive no pay for their time, but on
the other hand they in turn, ought
to display their marked apprecia-
ton by starting the concerts on
time,-not later than p. m. for the
reason that the little children, who
much enjoy the concerts, should be
at their homes by 9p. m.
A paper will be circulated among
you in few daye, and let everyone
give what he really thinks he can
afford, and the result, no doubt,
will be that we will have one of the |
best bands in western Iowa, and
EXTRA will be the Mecca, as ira
ding point for the surrounding

Damage Improbable

1T is the damage that may be done
by such projectiles entering below that
may cause the ship to sink by explod-
ing magazines or boilers, but this is
imprct able. 1t will require many II
inch shells on the water line, or on any
other, to disable or sink such a ship if
the officers and men know their bust
ness and want to fight"
Admiral Evans declares the statement
that wound on turret may disable
the turrets guns" is absolutely mac
curate, unless by wound penetration
is meant.
The leading features in battleships'
designs. Admiral Evans concludes, are
the battery, the armor protection and
the motive power.
Any one of these unduly sacrificed in
favor of the other means weakening of

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-"Of all the fn-
this wonderful ReuterdahI criticism"

most incorrect is that the battIeships of

as were the Russian ships after the
Russo-Japanese fight I'm the sea of
ly.
sI assert that the battle fleet of the
United States never was and never will
be, never can be in the condition of
action for the last Time
That the latest battleships built by
this country are vastly superior to
England's Dreadnought is also emphat-
ically insisted upon by the admiral in
an article written by him wherein he
and replies to criticisms of it made
some ago by Henry Reuterdahl and
others.
Il do not for moment claim that the
Indiana and her sister ships are equal
to the Dreadnought of the English
navy" says Admiral Evans, only that
she is the equal of the English ships
designed at the same time. But | do
claim that our latest ships .are vastly
superior to the Dreadnought and l be-

Big Guns Superior

Evans urges the superiority
of the 13 inch gun over the II inch gun,
and asserts that the change to the
lesser caliber to conform to England's
type was a most serious blunder. This
is chargeable, he says, to the sea going
officers of the navy, and not to any staff
corps Regarding the water line armor
belt he said:
4 am sure, after many weeks of
close observation, that the lower edge
of the armor belt is too high rather
than too low"
1t had been strenuously contended by
critics that the low location of the belt
was a vital point Of weakness.
'As the upper edge of the belt is al
ways even with or above the level of
the protective belt" continues Admiral
Evans. "the danger to be apprehended
from a projectile penetrating above the
belt, beyond the wrecking effect of such
projectile, is that due to the amount of
water that may enter the hole.
