Advantage Of sIlencer.

This crash of the bullet makes the
value Of the Maxim silencer very little,
so far as military efficiency is con
Cerned, in the way that the fiction
writer imagines the silencer to be use
full, but not to prevent the enemy from
discovering the position of the men
firing as many fancy.
Its value lies in the fact that it
eliminates fully half of the recoil Of
the rifle from the action of the gases
In it's chambers, and it gives the Off
GERS much better control over the fire
because Of the lessened noise of the
rifles. It cuts down the roar of the
Springfield to about the noise Of the
1920 and thus the roar of the rifles
at the firing line is much reduced, and
the commands OF the officers can be
beard-Outing.

MURDERS BLAMED TO WAR
State Statistics Show Marked Gain in
Number of Suicides for Last
Quarter of 1914.

Madison.-Failure to observe strict
neutrality in discussions Of the Euro
pean war is advanced as one cause re-
sponsible for a marked increase in
homicidal deaths during the last quar-
ter of 1914, in the report of the state
board of health.
The report says 513 lives were sacri-
feed during the three months COW
cred. There were nearly twice as
many suicides as compared with the
corresponding period in 1913. Finan-
cial depression and the war are given
as possible explanations.
Despite "safety first campaigns
there were twenty-four deaths in auto
mobile accidents, aud stricter enforce
ment of statutes is urged Pulmonary
tuberculosis leads in mortality by a
wide margin. The death rate is low
