Saturday night that they will not for
get for some time. John Gilbertson,
driving his Model 81 Buick and accom-
panied by his brother Ole, Herbert
Dobson, Guy Hendrickson and John
Marine, were returning from Mineral
Point, while attempting to make the
turn at the Foley bridge, about mile
east of town, the left front wheel of the
car struck the railing of the bridge and
plunged with all the occupants into the
river. All the boys escaped uninjured
except for good soaking.
The car was badly damaged, the
front wheels were bent and the right
hind wheel was torn off. About nine
O'Clock Sunday morning Charley Scott
and crew from the Owen Kelly garage
of Blanchardville arrived and with
block and tackle managed to get the
car out of the river.

Among the officers who resemble the

who has a prodigious talent Of imita-

this captain found himself in a hall of
the imperial palace at Potsdam. He
was there with other of his friends
who were officers and began an imi-
tation of the kaiser with extraordinary
precision in tone, quality of voice, ges-
ture and appearance. All at once a
terrible silence. Wilhelm II. had ar
rived in the hail. The officers saluted
respectfully and remained motionless.

BATTERY OF BIG GUNS DESIGNED IN
AMERICA.
tleshipS is one that has received the
most careful consideration on the part
of the bureau of ordnance and the gen
eral board.
There is an axiom with regard to
calibers which amounts to this: That
a ship should mount the smallest big
gun that will pierce the enemy's armor
over vitals at the maximum probable
fighting range. The fourteen inch guns
Of the Pennsylvania will get through
the maximum armor af1Oat, so far as
our knowledge goes at range Of 12,-
600 yards. The Queen Elizabeth's fif-
teen inch guns will do little more than
that. If our information is correct as
to the velocity of the British fifteen
inch gun the fourteen inch guns on
the Pennsylvania will grange little
farther than the Queen EliZabeth's fif-
teen inch gun. The f1atter trajectory
of the fourteen inch gun gives it in
creased probability of hitting in COM
parison with the fifteen inch gun.
''The Pennsylvania mounts twelve
guns to the Queen Elizabeth's eight
Therefore the volume Of fire of our
ship exceeds the volume Of fire Of the
British ship by so per cent.
1.-THE navy department has built and
proved a sixteen inch gun superior to
both the fifteen inch and fourteen inch
SO far as penetration Of armOr at fight
ing range is concerned If the Penn
sylvania were to be armed with the
sixteen inch gun she could carry only
eight as against the twelve fourteen
inch guns now assigned her. If we
adopted the fifteen inch caliber we
would have to make a sacrifice in num-
Der Of guns as great or nearly as great
as was done in the design of the Queen
Elizabeth.
Counting volume Of fire and proba-
bility Of hitting, we see that at battle
range the number of blows delivered
by the Pennsylvania in a given time
will exceed those given by the Queen
Elizabeth by 70 per cent The fifteen
inch gun, it is stated. fires shell
weighing 1920 pounds. Our fourteen
inch shell weighs 1,400 pounds. The
bursting effect Of the larger shell will
be greater, of course, but we have lit
| tie doubt that the destructive effect of
| the burst of the fourteen inch shell will
be quite sufficient for its task. No one
can doubt the ACCESSIBILITY of delivering
seventeen hits to ten of the enemy.
Added to all of the above, we must
recollect that the chance Of having
gunfire survive rests with the ship car
rying the greater number.
"Now. if we compare these guns at
range greater than battle range or
armor piercing range and merely count
the ability to reach the enemy's decks
or unarmored parts we find that the
Pennsylvania guns range quite as far
at a maximum as those of the Queen
Elizabeth. Both guns range farther
than they would have any hope of hit
ting ship-that is to say, over $1,000
yards. or something like twelve land
miles,"
