Our men on the first gun had been
nearly all killed or wounded in this
charge Of the Confederates; saw a
man of the Michigan regiment pull on
his coat with yell and heard him

Uncle Sans Navy Holds Second Place

ment We have more guns available for
fighting on the broadside. The Flori-
da, which is of about $4,000 tons. can
bring to bear on the broadside ten l2-
inch guns. The German dreadnoughts
of the same displacement can only
bring eight guns to bear.
Now this represents the fighting
value Of the two navies and is actual
ly 20 per cent in guns ahead Of Ger
many as against Germany's ten per
cent of tonnage, which really means
nothing as a factor in fighting.
Germany has not yet awakened to
the fact that Great Britain began to
follow us in broadside arrangements
about three years ago. The kaiser's
empire is still behind in the main ele-
ment on which navies can be com.
pared as to efficiency. Another thing
is that nearly all the German ships.

portions OF the war that have come
under his notice.
1t was about two O'Clock in the
afternoon OF May 12." said Mr. Ellis,
when our battery was ordered to
take it's place on the line. We were
near a turnpike road and advanced
along this. but we're soon halted for
wait Of some. minutes and sent into
parking at the side OF the road We
had been there probably not more
than two minutes when a she'll burst
near by. The captain then gave or.
ders to dismount. but just as the or
der came another shell burst directly
over us. The fuse had been cut a
little longer. A large fragment OF the
shell descended on US and tore the
saddle from the swing or middle team
OF the gun was on, killing one OF the
horses. Then We to get out OF the
parking.
The pike was filled with wounded
men going to the rear like the crowd

strings Of ambulances continually
passing. We drove against the cur
rent to the place where our batteries
Of long range guns had been set up
and waited there for a while. In or
der to be OF service we must be near
er the enemy and in a short time we
advanced beyond our battery line. We
descended into a ravine and climbed
the other side. unlimbering our four
guns under the brow OF the hill. Be
fore us at the right there was open
ground to a point half a mile distant,
where the timber began. At the left
the woods came almost to the ravine
and here the Second Michigan infan-
try was stationed.
Near the trees half a mile distant
a little at our right were four Con
ieuerate regiments. This point was
supposed to be one OF the weak places
in the Union line. and these regiments
had been sent to make a breach We
shelled them. and they fianked into
the woods at our left. We were de-
pending on the Michigan men at the
left TO have pickGts in the woods.
Whether they did not or whether the
pickets were unable to give the alarm,
do not know. do know that sud
denly the Confederates appeared at
the edge of the woods within twenty
feet Of our guns.
I'VE had loaded with two charges

at so short a range. They fell back.

Nation Is to Fight the Loan Sharks

The many unsuccessful attempts to
legislate the usurlous money lender

very clearly. that law that comes
between the INSCRIPTIONS man who
has money to lend and the man who
wants to borrow cannot be enforced
until an agency is established 10 sat.
isfy his need at lower cost. Recog
nizing this fact. philanthropic men in
nearly twenty cities. content with a
reasonable return upon their invest
ment, have organized remedial socie-
ties to make loans at the lowest rates
OF interest practicable to deserving
people upon security OF personal prop
erty pledged OF mortgaged.
In many cities efforts are now being
made by citizens backed by chambers
Of commerce and boards Of trade to
organize similar societies. Those in
operation have proved themselves a
practical and measurably successful
means OF accomplishing what drastic
legislation and popular clamor has
been powerless to do. The loan shark
has not been entirely eliminated from
the cities in which these societies op-
crate. but his exactions have been re
duced appreciably.
Briefly stated, the programme Of the
remedial loan movement includes the
organization in all cities Of compeu-
tive loan societies Of a social nature
in the pawnbroking and chattel loan
fields; the establishment of co-opera
tive associations for savings and loans
among employees, supplemented by
the investment Of honest capital on a
reasonable money-making basis. In
all states legislation will be sought
chiefly to facilitate this competition.

IRWIN MEDLEY NABRED
AT CORVALLIS-ASSAUIT

Irwin Medley, who is charged with
assaulting last July one Lee Hing, a
Chinese laundryman of Grants Pass,
and who has evaded arrest since that
time, was taken into custody Fri
day at Corvallis, so stated a message
to the sheriff's office Saturday.
Sheriff Smith will go to Corvallis
today to bring Medley here to the
county jail.
1t is stated that Medley has gone
by the name Of Buzzard since leav-
ing Grants Pass. This Is the case
wherein the Chinese laundryman was
mixed up with woman friend of
Medley, the woman, so charged the
Chinese, taking 500 from his poe
ket (Lee Sing) as the Chinese was
reclining in bunk in his laundry.
The oriental claimed that the woman
had promised to marry him July 4,
and that he had given her sums of
money, jewelry and other trinkets.
But the male friend broke up the ex-
pected wedding by breaking the
chink's face. Then Medley and the
woman disappeared. II is stated that
she also is at Corvallis.
