conventional grounds. President Will

sador, Count Won Bernstorf, in the
state departments formal reply to
Germanys protest against the manu-
facture and sale of dumdum bullets
to the allies by American concerns.
Mr.. Wilson said that if Germany

featuring and selling for the use of
the contending armies in Europe car
tridges, whose use contravenes The
Hague convention, the government
would be glad to be furnished with
the evidence. and the president said,
that in case any American company
is shown to be engaged in this traffic,
he will use his influence to prevent so
far as possible sales of such ammuni-
ton to the powers engaged In the
European war, without regard to
whether it is the duty of this govern
ment upon legal or conventional
grounds to take such action.

Berlin (via wireless to Saville),
Jan. 13.-The dreadnaught Courbet,
one of Frances only four warships of
this class, lies at the bottom of the
Mediterranean after an attack by the
Austrian submarine No. II. The war
office issued an official statement tell
ing of the victory on Monday.
The Courbet had a complement of
99S men, all of whom are believed to
have gone down with the ship. After
the attack by the submarine, the
dreadnaught's sister ship, the Jean
Bart, tried co tow her to port, and
during her maneuvering the Jean Bart
rammed the Courbet. With her COM
partments already filled by the blow
from the torpedo, the huge vessel
could not withstand the added blow,
and sank.

bet came in the following statement
given out on Monday by the official
press bureau:
Vienna reports state that it has
been ascertained that the French
dreadnaught Courbet was hit by the
Austrian submarine No. u, The Cour-

Amsterdam, via London, Jan. 13.-
Refugees who have arrived at Bergen
Op-Zoom from Brussels, says the
Nieuws Van Dag, report that a
great fire has broken out at the former

of Reims and farther east in the vicin-

BRUSH PROCESS TOO SLOW
Automobile Wheels Are Now Painted
by Simple Method Of Being
Dipped in Tanks.

Owing TO the great number OF
wheels to be painted. the common
method of applying the paint with
brushes is too slow ard expensive a
process for an automobile factory, and
this work is therefore done by dipping
the wheels in tanks containing paint,
says a writer in Popular Mechanics.
The wheels are run by gravity down
an inclined track from the storage
room to a point convenient to the
paint tanks. Each wheel is then picked
up in turn and placed on a vertical
axle in the tank, over which is hori-
zontal arm carrying a pin that en-
cages one Of the spokes. The axle.
and with it the wheel, is lowered into
the tank and immersed in the paint
The axle is then raised until the wheel
is well above the paint surface, and
the wheel is rotated rapidly by the
horizontal bar. The surplus paint is
thrown of by centrifugal force, leav-
ing the wheel dry enough to be stored
on racks at the rear of the tanks.

The birds winter as far north as they

them into places where they can be
