LONDON, December 16-Ordinary peo-

Sir Frederick Sturdee. the victor of the
naval battle off the Falkland Islands

country patronymic borne by solid peo-
pie like Sir John Jellicoe. Sir Johns
father was merchant skipper, FIRED"
Sturdee's father captain in the royal
navy. Sturdee, the younger, has had
ups and down in the navy, in which
brilliant periods alternated with times
when it seemed likely that he might go
on the retired list owing to the mex
nrable rules of seniority and the su-
premacy of one naval school or
other at Whitehall. IT was just that
trouble which brought his name before
the public before and caused 1T to bear
an uneasy familiarity in the papers.

LONDON, December 1S.-The an
nouncement that the British govern
ment Is to appoint an emergency COM
mittee to consider measures for the
prevention of gun deafness among SOL
diers and sailors calls attention to an
added terror of war which has been
much discussed recently in military
and medical circles.

respondent, but it Is fairly certain

Impairment so Per Cent.
Several officers who recently returned
on furlough from the French front
were called UP for examination and
found to have suffered more than a
SO per cent impairment in hearing
owing to the incessant ear-splitting
reports of their own guns. The exact
physiological reason was usually
found in a rupture of the drum men,
brane with occasionally shattering
or concussion of the aural labyrinth.
Both the French and American navies
have made special provision for the
prevention of gun deafness. The
French have several ingenious artificial
contrivances. while the Americans are
said to use a blinkerlike bandage of
vulcanite rubber, with celluloid stop
pers for the ear holes. The Japanese
are also reported to have adopted me-
chanical contrivances which lessen the
shock on the ear drum.

.Jcss
is OPINION OF POLITICIANS
They Do Not Think Brown
Can Beat Him

Atlanta, Ca, July 2. - Now that
Little Joe Brown has SHE'D his hat i /
the ring, after playing yelled prophet
for many weeks, the politicians are
buzzing merrily. And after the de-
feat given him by Hoke Smith in
their last race, the question naturally
arises: Can Brown come back?"
Discussion in political circles, in
the streets and at the capitol, where
members of the legislature from every
county are airing their views, is rife,
and most wise ones say Brown has a
very slight chance this year.
''Hoke Smith,, as senator, is far
stronger than Hoke Smith as gov
ernor," they say. Senator Smith has
won a great many friends by his work
in the senate Many prominent men
who were not with him in former cam
paigns are heartily in accord with him
now. His work in bringing the reg
ional reserve bank to Georgia, has
strengthened him powerfully"
Another factor against Joe Brown
is the fact, which seems to be well es
tablished, that ]. r. Smith, his former
campaign manager, is to enter the SEN
ate race for the unexpired term within
few days. While it is true, he will
not be running against Brown, it is
known that they have had serious
falling out and Mr.. Smiths support IS
no longer being given the ex-governor.
