WILLIAM ROYAL ROBERTS

William Royal Roberts was born in
New York City on June 26, 1860. He
was the son Of Edward Roberts and
was the youngest of five children. He
attended the public schools Of New
York and spent several years at what
is now known as New York Univer-
sity For a number Of years he was
with The Roberts, Cushman Company,
importers of hatter's trimmings, and
retained an interest in the business af-
ter he left.
He is survived by brother, Christie
pher H. Roberts of Mount Vernon, N.
Y, and a half brother, Nathan B..
Roberts Of New York City.
Since coming to Dorset about II
years ago, Mr.. Roberts has been
closely connected with the Club,
Church, Grange, and Library, besides
other phases of the community life.
AT the time Of his death he was the
treasurer Of the Congregational Soci-
ETY. of Dorset and East Rupert; treas
ure Of The Dorset Field Club; vice
president of the Dorset Public Library
Association; and chairman of the FL
nance Committee of the Grange. He
was also a member of the choir and
seldom missed q Sunday or was absent
from a rehearsal. Always willing to
take hold of any worthy endeavor, he
soon made himself one who was con-
stantly sought to lend a helping hand
and in the midst Of the present
troubles of the Church, in which he
was deeply interested and had shown
his gcnefosity--he was suddenly taken
ay;-leaving a vacancy not easily
filled.
Saddened as we are by our great
loss we cam help but think of his
many hndnesses; his sincere friend
ship for all; his unbounded generosity;
and his CHEEKY attitude and disposition
at all times. A man who truly lived
his life for the benfit of the commun-
ity and who was deeply interested in
its welfare. The mere words: I'VE
shall miss him" far from express our
inner feelings.
The following came to me as | was
writing the above:
Wen miss our friend
Who has gone to rest
With those who have gone before,
And as time goes on
And the years roll by,
Wen miss him more and more.
A man who tried
In his own way
To help cen to the last
All those who came
To him for aid,
As in the years gone past.
In Church, in Grange,
In Club, and all
He took an interest deep;
Ard in like degree
AZ he did work
May we his memory keep.
Keeping it thus before US
As our own lives 90 on
Strive always in our living,
To give the best
And always that
In things well worth the giving.

TRENCH GUNS WERE USED
 IN THE 18TH CENTURY


 It has remained for the English to take up a gun that in principle ap- proximates to those used In the 18th Century Known as a trench gun" and warranted to clear any hostile trench without the possibility Of any effective return fire it is a direct return to the old muzzle.loading cam non that was supposed to do great damage some 300 years ago.
 Hundreds Of these guns are now be. ing made as rapidly os possible for the British government and it is be- lieved that they will rovolutionizo trench warfare
 X romantic history attaches Co the invention Of Che gun Eleven years ago am inventor named stockes went 10 the war office in London with the drawings of new gun He suffered the usual fate of such visitors Go thot institution. That is to say. he was politely ignored and each time that he called he was requested to come again. but he never succeeded in get ting admittonce to the quarters of @ responsible official
 Being. however of a persistent turn of mind. he refused to be put of Con- geouently the war office fiunkeys. becoming very tired of his face ask. ed him one day to leave his draw. ings. He did SO They were careful ly tied up in red tape and placed in the pigeonhole of an official who had no knowledge of the matter And when the persistent inventor subse- ouenuy renewed his importunate in- Quiries he was told that the matter was under consideration"
 Sighted By periscope.
 Up to a certain point the gun fol. lows exactly the mediaval instru- ments of warfare. but a 2Oth century innovation is seen in the periscoype, which is attached to the barrel By an ingenious arrangement as the gunner. by che periscope sights any particular object at which to iire SO the gun is trained and sighted auto matically for the object.
 Automatic sighting both for rifles and artillery. has long been prophe. sled by experts; the gun renders it an actual fact. Once sighted anoth. CT clever loading arrangement enables it to keep up an extremely rapid fire. When the gun is fired an armor plate roof is placed over it SO that the men firing it are almost immune from shell fire
 When trench warfare became an accomplished fact last fall Stokes went again to the war office and made him. self bigger nuisance than ever to the permanent official And by that time several live people had taken ac- tive charge of the institution They even insisted. to the grief of the old CT inmates. on seeing Stokes and of hearing what he had to say They went further. They had the drawing disintered examined them. enclosed a large space on common near Lon don. and told Stokes to 80 ahead, con- struct a gun and showed them what he could do
 In a few weeks 1t was ready and the heads of the department passed on 1t with the result that next day the inventor received a handsome sum for his invention which is now In use in the British trenches.- Spokesman Review)

Prof Herschel C.

 Prof Parker who won recognition of scientists by climbing Mount Me- Kinley. explained that he had worked out @ gasoline propelled submarine primarily as a defensive craft It will have Q speed of perhaps 40 miles,
 It is Prof Parker's theory that fleet Of these vessels could be car ried on the decks of a ship and sent out to meet invaders. Because they arc speedy he believes they should all the more easily elude destroyers and other submarines. run close to the vessels of an invading fleet and discharge their torpedoes with great accuracy.

SUBMARINE PAYS DIVIDEND.
Enabled 20 DO 80 ~ Ertra One
Paid by Electric Boat.

An initial quarterly div OF $3.50
a share has been declared by the Sub
marine Boa Corporation. Tie Electric
Roat Company, out Of which tho former
concern grew. has declared an extra divi-
dend OF 10 per cent. for the year ending
December 81, 1915, on both the common
and preferred stock. payable December
81. The Submarine Boat dividend Is
payable January II to stock of record
December 81.
This action Of the Submarine Bost
Corporation places the stock on q divi-
dend basis amounting to Sc a
year and WAS decided upon be-
cause the Electric Boat Company
the earning company--has enough
cash on hand to be paid In to the
treasury OF the Submarine corporation TO
permit that concern to pay dividends for
moro than two years. The reason for
the declaration at this time Of tho OK
ira dividends on Electric Boat Company
stock Is that the regular 8 per cent. divl-
dend on stock Of the old company had
been paid before the organization Of the
Submarine Boat Corporation.
To make possible the declaration OF
sufficient Electric Boat dividends for the
calendar year TO permit the new com
nanr to begin paying dividends the
declaration OF the old company At this
time had 10 be made as an extra dis
burssinent on both common and pre-
ferred stock.
