The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1915-05-21

comes through the control room. II
the enemy lands a shell on deck or
anywhere in the warship the doctors
are notified that they are wanted at
that spot almost us soon as the men
have fallen. II the gun crew are dead
it is from the heart Of the ship that the
order is given for fresh men TO iii
their places.
Though the captain himself is in the
coming tower above. he knows through
the officer in the control room inst
what has happened to his ship and the
extent of the damage. and if the can
tain is killed in the coming tower or
on the bridge the chief officer in the
control room goes up at once to take
his place.
There are generally about six men
in this little throbbing heart of the bat
tleship. including operators and Junior
officers.
The chief officer gives directions TO
the torpedo operators. the gunners. the
searchlight m%anipulators and the Off
GERS in charge of the fighting masts. if
such are part Of the ships equipment.
But. besides all this. there are a thou
sand and one things to attend to dur
ing an engagement.
Every order has to be given at an
instant's notice: given distinctly, firm
ly, without the slightest hesitation or
furry. 1t is only in the control room
that INT learns what the phrase de.
votion to duty" really means.
Everything goes with automatic pre-
cision in the heart of Il warShip, and
as it is the most vital spot on board
special care is taken to preserve it
from harm.
Think of the steady nerves required
of those men. cOoped up in this small!
room when the shells are flying around
and the hull is being battered by the
enemy's guns. 4 wrong signal might
mean disaster. but the organization is
50 neal perfection that mistakes are
practically unknown.
There is no rest for the officers in
the control room during a fight. They
must stay at the ships heart tele-
graphing and telephoning to every
part of the vessel. without taking no
tice of the wreckage that is being
heaped up on every hand. They know
that when the men in turret No. l or
turret No. 2 cease to reply to their
signals something serious has hap
pened.
They know that even when the con.
| ming tower has been smashed by shot
and shell and the bridge has been
swept away they must stick to their
switches so long as there is an officer
alive to direct operations. Not until
the ship is blown mp or rammed are
they allowed to leave that little room.
and then they go down with her.-St.
Louis GiObe-DemOcrat.

II 4 NAVAL FIGHT
Vital Work Is Done In the Con-
troll Room of the Vessel.
THE HEART OF THE WARSHIP.
Through This Steel Cell, Deep Under
the Deck, the Commander In the
Coming Tower Is In Touch With
Every Person and Event on Board.

MIN ~ ~
When a warship sails into action her
heart pulses and throbs as eager for
the fray as the hearts of any of her
crew. Yes. Il warship has a heart.
The heart Of IL warship is the control
room. deep down under the deck, stu
ated aft, usually abaft the second
funnel.
Even or big fighting ships the heart
is small. Generally it is only en- feet
by six, and is almost noise proof and
eerily quiet. 1t is really a steel vault.
entered by a door not unlike the door
Of a burglar proof safe.
From floor to ceiling the walls are
lined with dials. wires. gauges. electric
bells. speaking ti5es. switches and Il
great amount of other apparatus which
keeps the commander in constant touch
with every corner of the ship. 1t is
the most wonderful and the most fear
full room on earth or sea.
1t is a fortress within Il fortress. a
steel cell within the steel walls of the
fighting engine.
To be in the control room during &C.
tive service is to feel like being in Il
vault with the door locked on the out
side. This little compartment. which
visitors seldom see. will keep alive as
long as there is Il living soul on board
able to hear and answer a call.
1t is through the control room that

the answer thrills the gun crews:
"'Ware submarine on the port bow:

when the chief gunner has Laid" the

message the enemy will not forget If 1t

MONTANA DISPLAY PLEASES

All Montanans who visit the Pana-
ma-Pacifc International Exposition at
San Francisco are at once impressed
with the m~agnificence of the States
varied displays as shown in the e v
eral exposition palaces. Not only do
native sons become enthusiastic, but
visitors from all other sections of this
country and the world stop to take
a second look at the products which
come from the great empire of Mon
tana. 1t is a genuine pleasure for
Montanans to hear the many express
sions of wonderment and approval as
given by those who come from a less
favored section of the country.
One day last week a party of east
erners stood before the Montana apple
exhibit in the Horticultural Palace and
a lady of the party remarked to a
gentleman acquaintance that it was
the best she had seer at the exposition
Numerous inquiries have been made
as to where Montana apples could be
found on the market.
In the Palace Of Mines, Montana's
mineral products are we'll displayed,
particularly the portion furnished by
the Anaconda Copper Mining Com
pany. Here the many visitors are af-
forded an opportunity to acquaint
themselves with one of the greatest
industries, and the greatest of it's
kind in the world.
Without doubt the States exhibit
which attracts the most attention is
that of Agriculture, and the concensus
of opinion is that Montana easily loads
all other states and dominions repre-
sented, and it is fair to say that all
sections of North America have made
special effort to set forth their respec-
tive agricultural possibilities in a
most elaborate manner. Notwith-
standing that Montana's appropri-
alton was far below that provided
by other states, the commission, under
the direction of Frank A. Hazelbaker,
Directing Commissioner, has arranged
a display of agricultural products that
no pen could adequately elaborate up
on. Something like 700 individual en-
tries are shown, representing in the
aggregate more exhibits than pro-
vided by any other single state or
dominion. During the past week the
"jury" or judges have been closely *
aiming all the agricultural exhibits,
and while no official announcement of
awards has been made at this writing,
it is generally conceded that Montana
will head the roll Of successful COM
petitors. But this will not be a sur
prise to Montanans. A State that
won practically all the loving cups
at Madison Square and the st. Paul
Land Show, should have no difficulty
in securing the major portion of first

The beautiful sunny New Year

The holidays are now over and
