Real Bullets Flying, De- clares Tom Trent on Re- turn from Scouting Trip for Chalmers Agencies With Ainsworth-Locke

Tt is no fiction about bullet riddled Trent of the O'Neill Auto company on his return yesterday from the south of the state, Man, they are sure some riddled. They take you in their houses and get an electric torch and show you the holes where Mexican bullets have hit. The fellow that showed us had a hole through his hand, too.
 Those American soldiers down there -twenty-six hundred of them, are crazy to be turned loose They have it all figured out, and an officer told me that after couple of sighting shots to get the range. the United States field artillery could empty the Gil and May torena trenches in about thirty min utes.
 "Naco is now better prepared, to withstand the hail of lead The houses down ill the danger zone have baled hay piled up about the doors and win dows. You walk through a tunnel of bales to get into the customs house. It takes mighty strong pass and lot of influence to get through the lines to where the battle can be observed. We picked up newspaper man-they can go anywhere-and went down into the lower part of the town to watch the bombardment. We could see the May torena guns, see them shoot, and trace the explosions of the shells in the Gil trenches. Man. The dust did fly, where they exploded."
 Trent made the trip with Jack Aims worth and Harry Locke in Ainsworth's Chalmers car. The purpose of the trip was to locate some Chalmers agencies and to log the eastern lap of the Fl PaSo to San Diego race. That it will be a big Chalmers year in the south, is the firm belief of Trent, who reports great luck in their new agencies. In the Southern Arizona Motor company of Tucson and Nogales. the Chalmers has one of the livest agents in the state. R. l.. Slaughter a millionaire cattle man of Douglas has taken contract for Douglas and Bisbee and Cochise county. A new garage and work room will be built. and an efficient force of salesmen employed.
 The trip record of the car is rather a remarkable one. Ainsworth filled up the radiator before a trip to Globe, and didn't put in a single drop of water throughout that ride and the 800 mile journey to the south of the state. And in the rain and snow that the party en- countered. there was some hard low speed work, too.

Bing! Connie Mack Goes in Ditch - Soon Ketchum All Right-Federals Pro vide "Ham and" for Hun gry Sport Writers
BY SCOOP

There is no use in denying that Connie Mack wrecked the Athletics, Enough time has passed since that awful occasion, so that we cannot hurt MT McGillicuddys feelings very much by saying it.
 Without Bender, Plank and Collins, the Athletics, who were once regard ed as the greatest of all ball clubs, now seem far from formidable. And they do say that Bender, Plank and Collins are not all the Mackmen whom Mack will discard before he enters the fight next spring.
 But the records show that at least one ball club came back strong after just such run of hard luck-the loss of some of it's greatest men.
 Reference is made to the Cubs.
 It was another case of wrecking, but a different set of circumstances Charles w. Murphy had his own per sonal-and in view of his reputation, some say his rejudiced-reasons for handing first, Frank Chance, then Joe Tinker and finally Johnny Evers, their walking papers. Yet the Chi cago Nationals, with Evers in 1913, were a success-comparativ vely-and last year without him, were even more formidable.
 It doesn't seem reasonable that a club can lose three such men as Col lins, Bender and Plank, and still re- main in the first division, but the fans will not be hugely surprised if the Athletics are in the running again next year.

Strange ly enough, the people are NOT tiring of listening to the coups of the out laws and the desperate defenses of the organized fellows. One batch of reports say that the Young Turks are looking itno the bottom of their money bags and shaking a few re- maining nickels around in the empty gloom. Another set have it the out laws have made unexpected raises and are still financially fit to com pete with the great organization. Fans can take their choice, apparent ly-seeing as they pay their money. We had it pretty straight from one manager that the dastardly Feds were broke and all but looking for soft places to light.

submarine, which was dream in 1865,
Is owned by the navy Of the smallest
power 1t is true that single subma-
rines are not expected to accomplish
much in real struggle, so the larger
navies Of the great powers have fleets
of submarines. The aeroplane and the
dirigible balloon are to be found in the
possession of all armies In Europe to-
day, yet they, too, are only expected to
be of real service when they are pos
sessed in large numbers.
The airships and the submarines are
the wasps of modern warfare. Like
the little insect, while they have q
powerful sting, they are very vulner-
able, and may be easily crushed and
rendered powerless.
Aeroplane and Wireless.
In the recent smaller wars. aero
plans have been used to a limited ex-
tent, and this use has been so much
limited that their real efficiency is ex-
pected to be finally determined by the
present war.
1t is much the same with the wire
less telegraph. While 1t was used in
the Russo-Japanese war Of ten years
ago, the apparatus was still rudimen-
tary, and the installations too few,
while the range of the apparatus was
too limited to show the greatest eff
cheney. In the intervening decade, how
ever, great advance has been made in
wireless. 1t is now possible and, in
deed, is custom every day, to send
and receive messages from a distance
of more than 5000 miles. This, then,
is new and important factor in naval
operations, as was seen by the censor
ship put over the great sending sta
tons on this side of the Atlantic by
the United States authorities.
Wireless has also been successfully
attached to aeroplanes.
The submarine was in existence in
1904, but it was very different sea
wasp to that which England, France
and Germany are using today. Yet it's
real value is yet to be determined, and
it is expected that this demonstration
will come during the present conflict.
Rapid Increase Of Submarines.
At the time of the Spanish-American
war there were only five submarines
in all the navies of the world.
The latest edition of Brassey's Naval
Annual for this year gives the number
of submarines in the various navies,
and shows what interest is being
taken in the wasp of the sea- Great

END-of-the-summer-millinery,f for those
Il who are able to indulge themselves
in hats which illustrate the seasons, Is
shown in greater variety this year
than ever before in the memory Of the
most observant of milliners. The poet
celebrates the coming and going of
the year In verse and women note its
passing seasons lovingly in their ap-
parel
Three exquisite hats are pictured
here, one Of them from the most re-
nowned establishment In Paris, and
the other two, in every way as excel
lent, originated in America. They arc
especially appropriate for wear at the
end of the summer and through the
coming fall.
In the first hat a straw shape Is
decorated with a very heavy ribbon
laid across the crown and tied at the
left side at the shoulder. This ribbon
Is very heavy and soft. There Is
wreath of velvet pfums with velvet
foliage and small white berries about
the crown. This hat may be developed
in several colors, but In bronze or
purple shades and In bronze-browns
will be found most beautiful.
The second hat Is a combination Of
straw braid and velvet which may be
developed in any of the rich and quiet
colors now fashionable. 1t is remark
ably simple In design. The round
crown is covered with velvet, and the
outline OF the brim is emphasized by a

old reliable staple colors, dark blse,
brown, gray, and the dark reds make
the best choice for children. The
capes are lined either with plain mate
rial or with stripes or plaids.
When the home dressmaker under
takes to make a cape she should pro-
vide herself with a pattern In order
to get the adjustment over the shout
ders as It should be. Some capes
fare more than others, also, and the
finishing at the neck varies, as do the
methods of fastening.
1t would be difficult to find more
desirable model than the one pictured
here It is 30 managed that II may
be fastened up about the throat, when
required, by buttons and loops on the
under side. Straps crossing In front
hold It in place when 1t Is worn open
at the front, as shown in the picture.
In keeping with the fad for suit
hats, caps to match capes or other
wraps keep pace with the times. The
cap shown in the picture is a type
illustrating this fashion. Patterns
for this and for Tams and for sim
pie cloth hats are sold by all stand
