years a prominent jeweler of Wash

and since then Mrs Gait has been re-

brother.
The wedding of the president and
Mrs. Gait tonight will be the culmina-
ton of a courtship which began early
last summer. Mrs. Calf almost from
the beginning of the residence of the
president and his family in Wash

SHOW POPULARITY
OF DAILY news

If there is any doubt existing in the
minds of people as to the generality
with which the Daily News is read,
the large number of Santa Claus let
tiers published yesterday and today
should remove that doubt. Three
successive days the children were
asked to write to Santa. A perusal
of the columns of the Daily News to-
day and yesterday demonstrates that
they took advantage of the invitation.
Have you any idea of the number of
letters published in the two days

IF BREAK OCCURS
VIENNA Will DO IT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-The responsibility
for any break in the friendly relations between the
United States and Austria must rest with Austria.
This was made plain today when it was stated at
the state department that Americas second note
will not be an ultimatum. The note will simply
terate the demand for disavowa1 of the sinking
of the Ancona and make it clear that the United
States cannot discuss principals of submarine war
fare which have been settled for all time.
If Austria has any new evidence this country
will be glad to consider it, otherwise prompt dis
avoWal is expected.
800 p. NIT has just been announced that it
is expected that by midnight the second United
States note will be on its way to Vienna. Officials
hold out no hope that break can be avoided.
The Austrian note has been made public. 1t
varies little from press accounts. After referring
to the sharpness of the American note in rather
supercilious way Austria agrees to enter into dis
cussion of the case and asks for facts upon which
the United States makes its demands.

Alamogordo, n. NJ. May 1S.-The
Alamogordo Fruit Growers associa-
ton held a business meeting Satur-
day afternoon, to discuss ways ana
means and devise plans for the sys-
tematic marketing of the big fruit
crop. which soon will begin to ripen.
w. Il. Reardon, who is local agent for
the Wells Fargo Express company

for the association. one good move
is the adoption of one label which
will be used on all the boxes and
crates forwarded and which Will put

hind every consignment of fruit Ar
rangements are being made for a
supply of boxes.
The cool nights which extended so
far into the spring have retarded the
growth of the fruit. SO that all the
different kinds and varieties Will be
two to three weeks late In maturing.
All the orchardists present at the
meeting said the crop is so heavy
that the trees have to be thinned
and relieved of a great part of the
burden.
A serious problem which is con-
fronting all the farmers Of this whole
valley is the determination OF the
foxtail grass, which has literally taken
the alfalfa fields. The first cutting is
being made here now, while the al
falfa is not yet in full bloom and is
not matured. The Alamogordo Inn
provement company is planning to
leave the entire crop INHALED, ant
then in the fall install a mill and
grind the alfalfa La Luz and Tularosa
fields also are infected with this
grass. The most determined effort
Will be made next fatl and winter to
Kill this grass.

Las Vegas, n. NJ. May lS.-The
spring term of court for San Miguel
county opened here Monday, the jur-
les being sworn and the dockets call
ed. Light civil and criminal dockets
are the main feature OF the sitting, the
former containing eight cases. some
of them duplicate charges against the
same defendants. The docket never
has been SO small in many years.
After the iuries were empanelled,
Judge David ]. Leahy of the Fourth
judicial district. who is presiding,
called the dockets. He made an in
teresting ruling concerning the civil
side. stating that In a large majority
of the cases unless further action is
taken by November I. 1915. the caus-
es win be dismissed without further
action of court. This order will tend
to clear the docket OF a large number
of old and unimportant cases, which
otherwise would serve no purpose 9TH
er than to cucumber the records. A
similar ruling was handed down by
Judge Leahy at the last term, and ac-
cordingly from IS to 100 cases were
dismissed from the docket.
MAY hem Case.
The first case set was that of the
state against Crescenciano UriOste, in
dictcd last term for the act of may
hem on the person OF Virginia Ortiz.
Urioste, together with his wife, Mrs.
Margarita Baca de Urioste, Remitio
Martinez and Encarnacion Martinez,
are accused of rushing into the house
of the Ortiz woman on September ~
last and severely assaulting her. Dur
ing the attendant melee. II Is said that
one of the defendants, presumably
Ur!oste, bit the woman on the arm,
so seriously injuring the member that
she has not yet recovered full use of
it. 1t is alleged that the fight oc-
cured over some reports that the
witness was said TO have
spread reports defamatory TO Mrs.
Urioste. The alleged scandal reused
the anger of the husband, IL is stated,
and. according to testimony. the fight
followed. The Ortiz woman Is not yet
able to get around, so, on request OF
the district attorney, the case was
passed One of the other defendants,
Remijio Martinez, was arraigned this
and pleaded guilty.
A peculiar case of the non-forget-
fulness Of legal machinery, was
brought up this morning, wnen the
case of the state against Frank Rus
sell for horse stealing, was called on
the docket Russell was indicted in
1910 for the alleged stealing of a
horse. He skipped out before he was
apprehended. 4 month ago he re-
turned to town. and although it was
five years since the indictment had
been returned against him, he imme-
diately was placed under arrest. The
case will be considered later.

Washington, May lS.---When the
German artilleristS recently planted a
battery of big guns near Ypres. Bel
gium, and shelled Dunkirk. France,
nearly twenty-five miles distant, they
fought the greatest long distance bat
tie ever known In modern warfare IL
was the first time that proieetlle
ever had been fired M an actual tar
get at such a distance and the feat
attracted the attention of military au-
thoritics everywhere.
II took the projectile l07 seconds TO
make the journey from the weapon TO
the target and, having been fired NJ q
great angle. II reached maximum
height Of seven miles In the course OF
its flight.
The latest model Of American ma
val gun of 1s-inch bore can easily du-
plicate this performance Not only
that, but this American naval gun can
exceed by nine miles the range OF the
shots that were fired across the Bel
gian border mot the little French
coast town of Dunkirk
Range of Thirty Miles.
The extreme range of the newest
type of American 12-inch gun is thir-
ty-one miles Not that the American
ordnance experts ever expect to find
IL necessary to fire at any such IRA
lional range with this terrible weapon
OF war.
In actual battle II IL not the pur-
pose to do more with this new 12-inch
gun than penetrate eleven inches OF
Krupp armor at 1900 Yards range,
and yet this same weapon has the
ability to hit point thirty-one miles
distant with projectile that would
attain an altitude OF ten miles in the
highest point of its flight.
Why, then. il will be asked, is a gun
built that fire a distance of thirty-one
miles when its rational range is in
tended To be about 5000 yards The
answer is simple:
Matter of Angles.
II is merely a mater of angles. In
normal battle these guns VIII be used
In what is known as direct firing,
or low angle firing. Their normal an
gle of elevation when fired will not
nexceed fifteen degrees for the 5000
yards range. But by resorting to
high-grade firing, by training the gun
at an angle Of As degrees using the
proper powder charge, the necessary
weight Of projeCtile, and fitting the
12-inch naval gun on a proper gun
carriage so that it may be fired $4,000
yards or thirty-one miles can be COW

Not only has the American navy
such gun. but the United States
army is able TO make a similar boast.
