WONDERFUL MACHINE GUNS
Germany Has immense equipment of
Rapid Firers.

The enormous development in the
machine.gun equipment of the Ger
man forces along the Russian front is
authoritatively discussed by Col. Cler
get of the Russian army in an article
in the Russki Invalid, published by
the war department at Petrograd.
He states that the German army is
becoming one great machine.gun bat
terry, the German government sparing
no expense in constructing guns and
ammunition, as we'll as teaching the
rank and file the use of the weapons.
1t is the German aim, according to
the writer, to instruct every common
soldier of every branch OF the service
how to manipulate machine gun in
case of necessity. Even the team
sters and members of the sanitary
corps, he says, are receiving such in
struction.
Another thing noted by Col Clerget
is the extraordinary rapidity with
which the Germans are introducing
automatic rifles. The urgency of
German effort to transform their de
fensive line into machine gun batter
les the colonel says, is indicated by
their pressing automobiles of the
sanitary service into use as tran
sports for guns and ammunition. The
German dislike for bayonet attack
and their desire in every way to in
crease the effectiveness of firearms
as opposed to bayonets is responsible
according to Col Clerget, for the
change in German tactics.
A doubly explosive Austrian shrap-
mel shell, designed to explode when
striking after having discharged
rain of bullets in the air, is also dis
cussed by the writer He contends,
however, that the effects obtained by
the second explosion are slight. He
pays n tribute to the improved fight
ing qualities of the Austrian troops
as compared with those opposed to
the Russians last year, giving it as
his opinion that there is now little
difference between them and the Ger
mans.

OH! YOU WOMEN

KANSAS MAY STOP POWDER PERFUMES AND FALSE
 HAIR.

TOPEKA, Feb. 1O.-A bill was in. troduced in the state legislature to- day to make it a misdemeanor for wo, men under the age of forty-fve to paint or powder, wear false hair or earrings or use perfumes. The spon- sor of the bill is a man of middle age who is we'll known. With him are said to be several other mebers Of che legislature who have used him while hiding their own names for the pres ent.
 The introducer of the measure de clares that woman who uses paints and powders, perfumes, false hair and earrings is no better tha. the sa yages whom we affect to despise for prac- tices which are altogether similar 
 He further declares that when she uses such "aids to beauty" she is no longer herself but a doll dressed up out of all resemblance to what she would be without them. He expressed the opinion that when woman gets a husband by recourse to such methods she is obtainig something under false pretenses. It is said that he himself got bitten and had his life emoiStered from the first morning after marriage when he saw his wife in her true colors."

WEEKS FOREIGN TRADE
 BEATS ALL RECORDS
Exports Thirty-Seven Million in Ex cess of Imports in First Week
 of February.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The for eign trade of the United States for the first week in February, that is the week ending February 6, shows a balance in favor of this country of thirty-seven millions of dollars. This is a record for any week in the history of the nations trade. The exports for the week were sixty million and the imports were twenty-twO and half millions in round figures. The tre- mendous increase in the export trade is regarded as good lesson to show the wisdom of neutrality as the in- crease is taken on all hands to mean that if this nation can only keep from war it must become more and more the market for the purchases by the nations that cannot supply their own wants and fight at the same time.

MAN BROUGHT IN FOR

Chilian Prisoner from Kenai says Knife in His Country all Same
 Fists,

Enrique Nantuy, a Chilian, was brought in this morning by Bill Daw- son from Kenai and will be charged with stabbing L. Caveillo. The two men are of similar nationality and had been quarrelling for some time. In the course of one of their fights some days ago the man who is now a pris- oner is said to have stabbed Caveillo in the side With a butcher knife. Caveillo is declared not to have been seriously injured but he was not brought to town. Nantuy is now in the federal jail here. When speaking of the affair the prisoner seemed to think there was too much fuss made about the little unpleasantness alto gether.
 "Ah" he said deprecatingly knife in my country all same fist in your country. You sabe" Indeed, judging by his manner, it was ridiculous to have taken any notice of so trivial a matter as inserting a butcher knife in a compatriot's anatomy.

PANAMA CANAL AGAIN
 HAS AN ACCIDENT.
Part of Breakwater Protecting East ern End is Taken Away by
 Storm.

COLON, Feb. 10.-One thousand feet of the brealwater for protecting the entrance to the Panama canal was destroyed yesterday by great storm. The breakwater was only in course of construction at the time of the ac- cident and the engineers declare that if the work had been completed the storm could not have had such a dis astrous effect.
 This occurrence is only one of the many which seem to follow fast and faster. It is stated in some quarters that in part of the canal the bottom rises and the task of keeping it clear will be a stupendOus one. This is not positively known but it is certain that much work will be required before the sliding in the Culebra cut can be over come finally.

NANAIMO, B. C., Feb. 1O.-Twen- ty-One miners were drowned yester- day when the British Columbia mine was flooded. The mine is near this city and a frightful gloom has been thrown over the people by the catas- trophe. The loss of life was due, it is said, to the unexpected coming of the flood which caught the men at work in a part of the workings from which it was impossible to escape the onrush of the waters. It was feared in the beginning of the flooding that the loss of life would be far greater but scores of men succeeded in mak- ing hair breadth escapes. The damage to the mine is very serious.
