In Hankow you can take a splendid

SO there are mighty strides being made

Army and Navy Notes

In all probability a board will be ap-
pointed TO revise the new cavalry. drill
regulations and so over the recommen-
dations of the officers OF the mounted
service. Reports on the new regulations
have been received from all the cavalry
officers excepting 300 and have been tab
ulated at the War Department. The
chief of staff has sent out a notice urg-
ing those who have not written their
reports to do 1t Immediately. After the
delayed reports have been received at
the department and tabulated the chief
of staff and the cavalry division of the
general staff will review them and take
steps to settle the question of cavalry
drill regulations which has been agitat-
ing the mounted service for some time.
While 1t is not known just what the
verdict of the mounted service is on the
new drill regulations the impression is
that they are not as a whole proving to
be satisfactory. Some of the features OF
the new regulations have been almost
universally approved, but there is still
an opposition to some of the more radi-
cal changes provided for in the tentative
regulations.

In his regiment he showed himself Ntacf-

One morning. while the French were
preparing to explode a series Of mines,
a curious noise was heard In the trench

Like Disciplinary Ships

Recent reports at the Navy Depart
ment show that the most satisfactory
results are being obtained from the dis
ciplinary ships. which were substituted
during the past year for the disciplinary
barracks. On disciplinary ships, as was
the case in disciplinary barracks, the
youthful offenders against naval disci-
line or the more mature offenders who
have successfully worked through a por-
ton of their term of Imprisonment, are
confined. disciplined. drilled and instruct
ed in lieu of being imprisoned at hard
labor under prison conditions. A recent
report states that a boats crew COM
posed of men in detention on the disci-
plinary ship Topeka. now stationed at
the navy yard. Portsmouth, N. H., on
July 4. 1915, won the silver trophy cup
offered by the yacht club at that place
to the winner OF this feature Of the an
nual regatta. The entries in this race
were open TO all vessels stationed at that
navy yard, and entries were made by the
Montana, Paducah, Tacoma, Southery
and other vessels. The winning of this
race by the crew of the Topeka is the
result of the careful training which has
been given to the men under instruction
in various duties which they are called
upon TO perform when actually engaged
upon man of war. among which the
handling of boats is most important.
Men sentenced to a term on the Topeka
are known as detentioners instead of
prisoners. Most of the detentioncrs are
young. the majority being less than
u. and are of an age in which strict
disciplinary methods will mold and form
character rather than mar 1t. as might
be done by Imprisonment While in de-
tention they are drilled and given aca-

HENRY FoRD,s VIEW OF LABOR

1t is a fact significant of the mir
aculous gowrth of the motor car in
ldustry that the most prominent figure
today in the U. S. governments eff
lforts to reconcile capital and labor
lshould be a motor car manufacturer.
That man is Henry Ford of Detroit.
And the testimony which he recently
gave to the Federal Industrial Com
mission, was easily the most impress
Ling and convincing that has been Of
fered. A burst of applause swept
Through the aldermanic chamber in
the old New York City hall when Mr..
Ford, testifying, said quietly: We
Eaiii ,suaran rec to take every man out

him.
In explaining the purposes end The
actual results of the stupendous lied
Prcft-Sharing Plan MI. Ford said
IF employers of lal or have a esnIine
interest in the irnprc, ement of y tai
condition OF labor, nc conditions ~
are irksome or tis;asteful will be
laid upon the nlen." This is even
more to the point: I'VE cannot ex-
.pect a man to give us his best eff
forts when he is in debt and has not
enough money to keep his family on. :"
Naturally, some of the representa-
tives of capital and large employers
present at the session were curious
to know whether this distribution in
one year of about $10,000,000 of
Ford profits really paid or not"
Mr.. Ford smiled and said: Il don't
know how you would figure that
out; however, there has been an in
crease of between Is and 20 per cent
efficiency since the Inauguration of
the $5-a-day minimum wage, and the
profit-sharing plan"
1t is interesting to see how that es-
innate of the increased efficiency, ''be
tween Is and 20 per cent is born out
in the production of Ford cars. Last
year the Ford Motor company manu-
featured and delivered 249,349 cars.
This year, between August LIST, 1914,
and August 1st, 1915, 100000 Fords
will be manufactured and sold at re-
tail, and that accomplished, Ford
purchasers will share in Ford profits.
To reach the 100000 mark means an
increase of about 20 per cent over
last years production. Ford pro-
duction for August, September, Octo-
Der and November showed an increase
of just about 100 per cent over the
corresponding period of last year. In
other words, the Ford schedule for
fulillment of the 100000 production
has a markin now of nearly 80 per
cent. Also, it is clear that Ford
eficiency-under one year of the
profit-sharing plan-has increased be-
tween Is and 20 per cent, as Mr..
Ford conservatively stated to the
Federal Industrial Commission.

LIGHTNING DAMAGE

An extensive study of lightning
damage in western yellow pine was
completed during this field season.
The damage on total of 1,255 trees
was recorded by field officers. The
results of this study bear out Euro
kpean investigators who hold that
tall trees are most liable to be
struck, In the case of western vel
low pine, but 8 IL per cent of the
trees struck stood below the domin-
ant canopy. No trees were struck
whose diameter outside the bark
measured less than II inches and
over 90 per cent of the trees struck
were Is inches and over. The study
proved that the damage from lightn-
ing is unusually severe. Out of L.
255 trees enumerated, SO per cent
were killed outright and "a per cent
we're left in dying condition, which
shows that six tenths of all the timber
damaged is killed outright or win die.
The conclusions reached in this
study are that tall yellow pine of
large dimensions are most liable to
damage, without any apparent Deepen
dence upon topography. The study
is of practical application and if
|people will take ordinary precautions
there should be practically no death
from lightning. Those who work
In yellow pine forests will be practi-
eally free from danger if they will
take refuge during thunder storms
under clumps of small black Jack
saplings instead of under mature yell
low pine, as is SO often the case.
Many of the deaths from lightning,
particularly in the case of sheep herd
ers, have been due to failure to OBJ
serve this simple rule.
