LONDON. May 29.-The exact extent
OF German resources for the output OF
heavy gun mountinss has hitherto been
a matter of dispute. Now. however. the
Pail Mall Gazette publishes a remarkable
article, in which it says:
I'VE are Row in position to state def
initely that the Krupp firm have really ten
pits for the trial Of heavy gun mountings
and they are making rapid progress with
another eight.
These ten pits should enable them to
accomplish the following work: Under
ordinary pressure thirty gun mountings
per annum or six dreadnoughts; putting
on extra pressure, forty gun mountings
per annum or eight dreadnoughts.
when the additional eight pits are
ready the figures should be: Ordinary
pressure, fifty-four gun mountings or
eleven dreadnoughts: extra pressure.
seventy-two gun mountings or fourteen
dreadnoughts.
1.-The net result is that in the course OF
the year the Germans will possess seven
teen slips for building dreadnoughts.
with power to turn out gun mountinSs
for fourteen dreadnoughts per annum."
1t adds that the British increase in
plant promised by the government will
only place British resources abreast OF
Germany and not ahead of her.

Presbyterian Assembly Decides on
Representation Based on Church
Membership.

DENVER, Col. May .. 7sThe 121st Gen.
eral Assembly Of the Presbyterian Church
closed today after a quiet session, in
which routine matters were disposed of
and vote Of thanks extended to Modera-
tor Barkley and the other officers of the
body.
The minority report of the committee
on polity recommending the resolution de-
claring that the reduction of representa-
ton in the assembly should be made on
a basis of church membership, instead of
the number Of ministers. was adopted.
The proposition will be sent back to
the presbyteries for action. Should it
be accepted. the presbyteries will be
further asked to ratify the proposition
such computation.
Atlantic City was decided upon as the
place of the next meeting.
An interesting feature of the days pro-
ceedings rose when the committee on
polity practically dismissed James and
Alexander Waite, missionaries in China,
because they had criticised the Worldli-
ness of other missionaries. who, it seems.
did nothing more than play tennis. The
Waite brothers were advised in the re-
port. which was adopted by the assem-
bly,, to seek other fields of service.
Debate in the matter of decreased rep
resentation in the assembly centered to-
day about whether the basis of representa-
tion should be the number of communi-
cants plus ministers or the number of
ministers alone.
Vice Moderator Holt of Chicago sug-
gested that the basis of representation
should be ministers plus commitments.
On this basis the consideration of the
matter proceeded.
Toward adjournment it became appar-
ent that this plan would prevail, and that
IL would be submitted to the preSbyteries
for their approval and recommendation to
the next assembly.

ing that they conspired to extort $1,000

TWO TO FORTY
MILLIONS IN YEAR
ENORMOUS INCREASE SHOWN
BY STUDEBAKERS
More Automobiles Being Marketed
Through Great Firms Agencies
Than That of Any Other
Concern in World

Twenty-four Studebaker branch
managers spent the past week in their
annual convention at South Bend
While the week was taken up with
purely business matters there was
peryadng spirit of elation over
the fact that during the past year
Studebaker automobile business has
increased in volume from two million
to over forty million dollars and that
through the Studebaker branches are
now being marketed more automobiles
annually than through any other sin
gle organization in the world.
Among other incidents of the week
was a tour of inspection in Studebaker
electric cars through the mammoth
carriage and wagon factory at South
Bend. This plant covers an area of
about two miles square. The buildings
are mostly four and five stories high!
The tour of inspection of each floor and
over the system of tramways which
run over the roofs and connect the
various buildings covered q distance
of little more than twenty-four miles.
obviously such a trip could not be
made even in a day on foot. By the
use of electric vehicles, however, using
the big elevators to ascend from one
floor to another and then driving
through the entire labyrinth of aisles
on each floor, ascending TO the next,
and finally to the roof, the trip was
made in one afternoon with plenty of
stops for careful inspection OF methods
and models.
From South Bend the party of
branch managers in company with j.
M. Studebaker, president; F. S. Fish,
genral manager of the Studebaker Au-
tomobile company; Clement Studebak-
er, Col. George Studebaker, C. A. Car
isle and other members of the eXecu-
tive board, made a trip by special car
to Detroit, where the plants in which
are manufactured the Studebaker-E-
ME- go" and Flanders '20'' cars are
located; then on to Elyria, Ohio, where
the Garford factory, which manufac-
lures Studebaker-Gar 40" also
was carefully inspected
The branch managers returned to
their various centers of operation high
ly elated over the prospects for the
coming year, although all equally con-
fident that the output of the various
Studebaker models, comprising though
1t will over 10000 automobiles, yet will
be less than half sufficient to supply
their needs.

MANY ACCIDENTS

IGNORING OF SIMPLE RULES
OF THE ROAD
President of American Automobile As

Drivers

Do automobilists understand the
rules of the road? This question has
been brought prominently before
many automobile clubs within the last
few days in view of the increasing
plumber of accidents, some resulting
in fatalities both to motorists and
other users of the highways.
In many cases these accidents have
been due either to ignorance of the
ordinary rules of the road or to the
supreme carelessness of automobile
drivers in ignoring the simple regu-
lations that conduce to safety. So
fragrant has this tendency to reckless
ness become, in spite of the efforts
being made by the leading clubs
throughout the country to cooperate
with city and county officials in OBJ
serving the legal regulations, that a
word of warning mas been sounded by

making the football track or baseball

NUMBER is remarkable, considering the
fact that out of class of 300 or more
students, only one-tenth are supposed
ly varsity material The eleven An
dover men would give that school a
great majority over every other school.
The men who are to wear the blue

the track and in basketball, and are
the cream of the twenty athletes who
were graduated from Andover. OF the

Ralph NJ. Burch of Brooklyn is the
particular star, and he will, no doubt,
be of great use to the blue track foot

he was a leader in student affairs and
also was member of the relay team,
