"Mr. Soaring was in his bathing suit and
without money. Men do not disappear
in such n fashion. Besides he had no
reason for disappearing. His business
affairs were in perfect order and his home
life was happy. | am certain as to his
affairs in a business way, because he
invariably consulted me. No; he has not

The disappearance recalls the case of
David Callahan, Of Springfield, Il hotel

the completion Of new guns and ns,,

revolutionize artillery operations and
make the path OF the Allies to Berlin
more possible than hitherto.
Soor after ,he beginning OF the war
when it became patent thai high ev,
plosivcs were to be the dominating facto-
in the struggle for victory, the combined
efforts OF British chemists anj Ordnance
experts invented a shell unquestionabv
more powerful than any previously used
In destructive power It was, without
doubt superior to any previously krown
A variation in explosive CONF ositlon reh.
dered it likely to supcrscde all types in

EXPERIMENTS SUCCESSFUL.
The Govcrnemnt ordered experiments
to be made with big guns then being
manufactured at Woolwch Arsenal
These took place, with result that
every gun so used was either almost
blown to pieces or rendered unfit for
service for a considerable period. The
only way out was to find guns suitable
for the task
As far back as last November Govern
mcnt experts were at work on this prob
lem They experimental with various
allows of steel, trying to find one that
would stand the strain of such a shell,
Finally they succeeded They produced a
17-inch gun that would suit this purpose,
Various experiments have been made, and
are believed to have been entirely suc-
cessfu. 1t Is stated that the shell will
be carried 25 miles and will work havoc
on a scale entirely unprecedented.
Thus is answered the question why no
advance was made when Warsaw was
about to fall and the main bulk of the
German troops were concentrated on that
front. II also explains why after the
great movement of Kitchencr's army to
France early in July the troops were not
used. Nothing was to be done until these
guns which the great armament fac
tories of Britain have been working on
for six months had been delivered in
sufficient quantities at tho front,

which had been smoldering in him all

mighty repression he resisted the i'm
pulse to crush her to him. and handed
her to the equilibrium which she In

sprang in beside her. He felt a saw.
