LARGER PARCELS IN MAILS
Size Limit Increased to Bring Com

Size Limit Increased to Bring Com
mercial Crate Within Regulations.
Washington, July 13.-Orders by
the Postmaster General were issued
today, increasing the parcel post size
limit and providing for a receipt for
articles mailed by parcel post. The
first order became effective immed-
ately. The second order will so into
effect on Sept. /.
Section Asa of the postal laws and
regulations is so amended as to in
crease the size limit from seventy
two to eighty-four inches in length
and girth combined. This action fol
lows a demand for an increase in the
size limit. The principal effect is to
bring the commercial crate within the
regulations. The seventy
limit denies the advantages Of parcel
post shipment to practically all the
standard-sized crates used in the
commercial exchange of berries and
fruits.

london, July 14-1t;e attack Of the
German Crown Princes army in the
Nrgonne, having for its objective the
investment Of the French forts OF the
Verdun area, has resulted in an ad
vance of tWo-thirds OF a mile and
the capture of 1851 prisoners and
several pieces OF artillery, according
to German official reports. com
munique issued in Paris tonight
while admitting the German success
asserts that nowhere did the assail
ants gain more than quarter of a
mile and announces that the Crown
Princes offensive has been definite
ly checked. The other feature OF to-
days fighting along the western line
appears to have been artillery com
bats at various points, particularly
near Newport and Arras and in the
Aisne Valley.

ROADS BADLY WASHED
Considerable Money Must Be Expend-
ed to Repair Damage by Storm

The selectmen have three gangs OF
men at work repairing the damage
caused by the recent heavy rain.
One is at work on Carpenter hill
where the highway was considerably
washed out, another is resurfacing
between the Governor Robinson
bridge and North Bennington village
and the third is filing the gap made
just east of the red bridge on the
Woodford road.
Repairs on the Woodlord road
within the Bennington town limits
are nearly completed but some time
will elapse before the work on the
North Bennington road is finished.
Selectman Oliver Burt estimates that
fully one-third of the highway be-
tween the Robinson bridge and North
Bennington will have to be resurfac-
ed.
In addition, il will be necessary to
reinforce the river bank in two
places to prevent even more damage
in case of another storm.

Prominent New Yorker Shoots Him
self in Pittsfield Hotel


Pittsfield, July 14-Arthur George
Sedgwick of s East Tenth Street,
New York, shot and killed himself
in the Hotel Wendell in this city this
afternoon. He was assigned to
room in the hotel just after noon,
and had not been in the apartment
more than twenty minutes when he
was found dead.
Arthur George Sedgwick was II

ent New York family. He retired
from active business several years
ago, and had devoted himself to writ
ing. He was a graduate of Harvard,
and enlisted in the Civil War. During

whom he would receive briefs and
hear arguments in his chambers upon

ment, The jury was discharged and
court then adjourned.
As soon as the jury was dismissed
Tbaw crossed to the box and shook
hands warmly with each of the men.
His mother also shook hands with
the jurymen, saying to each: "Thank
you so much for all that you have
lone" One Of the jurors asked her
whether she had any doubt of the re-
suit of the proceedings. Mrs. Thaw
smiled and replied in the negative
Last night Thaw was taken to the
Office of an uptown physician to have
a wound in his hand dressed. It was
said he received the injury while play
ing with a medicine ball in the Lud
low-street Jail Wednesday night.
In explaining why two ballots were
taken, one of the jurors, Paul J.
Marks, a brother of the president of
the borough of Manhattan, said that
on the first ballot the vote was II TO
] that Thaw was sane The dissent
ing juror said that he cast his ballot
that way more as a matter of form
than anything else, so that the YER
diet would not be rendered without
formal discussion. The vote was un
animous on the second ballot.

Infantry Decides the Battle.

While there have been many dis.
cussfons as to the relative value of
the different branches OF an army
there is little doubt. according to a
writer In the Scientific American,
that It is the infantry that wins bat
ties.
While 1t is probable the success of
a battle will depend to large extent
on the support of the field artillery, it
is certain that the principal and most
important arm is the infantry, which
in practically every case must decide
the final issue. The cavalry may be
the first to be drawn into battle,
and the artillery may destroy the en-
emy's artillery, but battle is never
won until the infantry has driven back
the enemy's lines.
The usual mode of advancing for
the infantry is to deploy them in a
line with long interval between each
soldier. This, naturally, is for the
purpose OF offering a smaller target
for the enemy, but makes it more diff
fcult, however. for the leaders to
keep as good control over the men,
and for that reason one of the objects
Of field artillery is to make the en-
emy's troops deploy early.
The infantry soldier is armed In all
the countries with a rife and bayonet.
The rife is the weapon upon which re-
lance il placed, the bayonet being
used only as a last means, when in =
hand-to-hand encounter with the en-
emy.

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 ailoat, so far as
our knowledge goes, ut range of H.
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 range a little
farther than the Queen Elizabeth's fif-
teen inch gun. The ilatter trajectory
of the fourteen inch gun gives it in
creased probability of hitting in COM
parison with the fifteen inch gun.
L
guns to the Queen Elizabeths eight
| Therefore the volume of fire of our
ship exceeds the volume of fire of the
British ship by 80 per cent.
1.-The navy department has built and
proved n sixteen inch gun superior to
both the fifteen inch and fourteen inch
SO far as penetration of armor at light
! ing range Is concerned. If the Penn
sylvania were TO he armed with the
sixteen inch gun she could carry only
eight as against the twelve fourteen
inch guns now assigned her. Ii we
adopted the fifteen inch caliber we
would have to make sacrifice In num-
Der of guns as great or nearly as great
as was done i'm the design of the Queen
Elizabeth.
Counting volume Of fire and proba-
bllity 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 20 per cent. The fifteen
inch gun. 1t Is stated. fires a shell
weighing 1920 pounds. Our fourteen
inch shell weighs 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
gunfre survive rests with the ship car
rying the greater number
"Now. II 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 a ship-that is to say, over 21.OOO
yards. or something like twelve land
miles."

Later, at the urgent request of the
Dutch minister Of the interior. a small
bonus was given to each sewing wo-

The work was rapidly extended to all
the eleven provinces Of Holland. Thir-
ty-four sewing classes were establish

more than 5000 Belgian women and
girls, and some men, were producing
clothing needed by themselves and
their fellow refugees. Upward of 500
sewing machines were in use.
Lady tombstone, wife of the British
minister, personally visited many of
the classes and placed a fund Of $1,000
at the disposal of Baron van Tuyll for
supplying any little needs of the class
es. In addition she ordered 5000 pairs
