SUBMARINE TO HAVE
THREE-INCH GUNS
American Boats to be Equipped
After Fashion of
Germans.

Patternng after the German navy
the American navy will equip all sub
marines with three-inch guns for pur-
poses of defense and offense.
In the case Of the sea-going subma-
rines, it is not unlikely guns of larger
caliber will be found usable. and in
that case they will be provided.
The developments in the Armenian
case showed that a submarine. armed
with three-inch guns. could stop a mer-
chantman attempting to flee. That
such guns, which have a range of two
or three miles, would be valuable f.:
defense is also apparent, say naval au.

Might Turn City Into Bedlann.

"One complaint which was made to
the association called attention to the
manner in which many of these rooms
are attracting patrons. One Of our
members, who was formerly in the
amusement business. cited the practice
of some of these plaqss which depend
upon a piano and a cheap vaudeville
program to attract customers. He told
the association that, on one occasion, in
order to call attention to the motion
picture theater he was operating. he
had his piano moved near the door.
THE police, however, refused to per-
init this, and he was forced to take
the instrument to the other extreme of
the house.

avail himself of the privilege these

Neither Mr.. Rea nor Smith has any

night, leaving Sunday morning for
Vicksburg. Several hours were spent
in Vicksburg, and at about 3 o'clock

HUGE CROWDS co
TO RAWLS SPRINGS
A MAJORITY OF THE CANDIDATES
ARE TELLING THEIR OWN
GOOD POINTS TODAY.

What probably is the biggest. candi-
dates picnic given in Forrest county
during the present campaign is that
being held at Rawls' Springs today
where hundreds of citizens from every
section of the county have gathered to
consume food, listen to political ora
tions, and to greet each other.
Hattiesburg is practically deserted
by candidates, and nearly every aspir-
ant for county positions is there. The
number going to the resort could not
be obtained. At the G. & S. |. offices,
the 300 or 400 extra tickets sold TO the
picnickers, and which had to be
checked up, apparently swamped the
office force, for they were unable at
a late hour this afternoon to say how
many persons boarded their train from
here today.
Each candidates time for speaking
has been limited and it is planned to
give every one of them Il chance to say
a few words in their own behalf.

office he has held so faithfully for the
past five years.
The reason is that Mr. Hall has
been too busy attending to the duties
of the office he holds to devote much
of his time to riding through the coun-
try and soliciting votes, and although
he has found it possible to attend
some Of the political picnics during
the last few weeks, he has not been
able to make anything like as com
plete a canvass of the voters as would
have been possible had he not been
engaged with court duties
Most of the time which he has
found possible to devote to his per
sOnal campaign has been spent in
Jones and Perry counties, where he
was not so well known as in Forrest.
"The people of my home county

not think it would have been right
