Fleet tactics have kept pace with
the growth of battleships. Naval au-
thorities say that the commander who
can wind up" his enemy's feet-get
it into the center OF his encircling
battleships or overlap it SO that his
~broadsides can rake the others one
at a time-will always win. That Is
why the American navy is maneuver-
ing, having target practise. going
through drills whenever opportunity
offers.
Rear-Admiral Fletcher's system
which is now being tried out prior to
being officially adopted by the navy
is designed to reduce to a minimum
the number Of signals necessary to
put a fleet through the evolution. In
the smoke and excitement Of battle
the fewer signals to watch and in
terpret the better.
On top Of each ships mainmast is q
bearings Indicator. or tlapper, as the
men call 1.-TWO yellow square boards
on opposite ends OF a long slanting
arm which swings on a pivot III its
center. The indicator shows what
formation is to be made. 4 signal flag

The Indicator on the flagship, as
we steamed from the harbor, stood
at what is called he zero angle. 1t

for the navigator. The bugles sound,
ed assembly, officers hurried to the
bridge, and others below to the fires
and engines.
The anchor chain, like a big black
iron snake, was sucked slowly in By
some invisible power. A swirl of
sand and mud showed where the gi-
ant teeth had held the bottom of the
bay. On each Of the chains at the
sides two boys were heaving the leads
and shouting the soundings. Others
were frantically waving flags or hoist
ing long strings of remnants, signaling
to nearby ships. The big ship was
slowly getting under way.
On the other ships Of the Third di-
vision of the Atlantic feet was sim
liar activity. The flagship Virginia,
with Rear Admiral Beatty, steamed
out in the lead, with the Georgia, Ne
braska and New Jersey following in
the column. After them came the Sec
ond division, under Rear Admiral
Bousch on the Louisiana, which was
followed by the Michigan, New Hamp-
shire anNNermont.

The order from the commanderin-
chief had come as a surprise. The
fires under the boilers had been lit,
and some order expected, but nothing
was certain. 1t might be a welcome
order to go home or one to go to
an even more desolate port. But it
was to go out and attack. That was
all. The fleet to be attacked might

ed DR.. G. Harlan Wells OF the Hahne-

Institute Of Homeopathy.
1t means that the heart simply has

having to lift $50 IONS more than four
feet from the ground daily during the
time an ordinary human being is
awake.
People of the earlier periods and

Speaking before the bureau of ped

said that Of two and a half million ba-
bies born in the United States each
year half a million die before they
are a year old. Of the deaths, he as
serted, 60 per cent are attributable to
gastro-intestinal diseases, and at least
20 per cent more have digestive dis
turbances as co%ntributory factors.

the subject OF infant feeding said DR..
Cobb, only couch the borders OF hu-

The secret war signal books. their

Swinging a fleet Dr. a squadron Of
eight or even a division of four bat
tleships into action is a feat which re-
quires days Of drills even by men
whose lives have been a study and
practise OF the science of warfare.
This week was to try out a new
scheme of tactics and signals evolved
by Rear Admiral Fletcher.
Naval battles OF the future will be
between fleets. The old days when
ships locked masts and hammered
each other until one sank or burned
or its decks were swept clean, live
only in paintings. The engagements
between single ships will be occa-
sional. The real battles Of the sea
will be between fleets-16 to SO hurl-
ing shell and deadly exploding fulmin-
lite. The Japanese knew how to ma
newer by fleets and picked off the
Russian battleships one by Il and
wiped out the cars fleets.
The Third division ships, which
weigh 1900 tons each and with good
craftsmanship could put a shell in an
opposing ship six miles away, are be-
coming obsolete and are doomed to
retirement. The Second division ships
weigh about $4,000 tons each, and
might do as much damage at eight
