| The scene of the greatest naval battle
 in modern history is the subject of a
 war geography bulltin issued by the Ma 1 tional Geographic society from it's Wash
 ington headquarters, which says: "When
 the high sea fleet of the German empire
 and the prize fighting ships of the nation l which boasts the greatest naval strength | in the world met In an epochal battle
 off the coast of Jutland on the last night | of May EAction of North sea waters | was mad9 famous for all time. The | scene of this great struggle of steel levia thEn is described in early dispatches as lying 120 miles off the west coast | of Jfantsholm, also called Cape Hert- 1 ginning of that arm of the North sea known as Skagerrack, which separates the southern end of Norway from the
 mainland portion of Denmark. At this point the breadth <of Skagerrack is 80 l miles, and its length to the northeast is l50 miles, Together with the Kattegat and the Sound it forms the connecting
 channel between the North and Baltic seas. If the great clash occurred 120 miles directly west of Hantsholm, the British and German warships now lie in
 than 200 miles northeast of Yarmouth. It is in this latitude that the North sea
 floor begins to drop rapidly. The depth
 on the Dogger bank, 15o miles to the south, is not more than 10 fathoms, but as the coast of Norway Is approached
 the soundings show a remarkable in-
 crease until the gulley of the Norwegian
 channel is reached, where the depth ex- ceeds 400 fathoms The scene of this
 great sea fight will recall to British minds the battle of Copenhagen, which occurred
 Hantsholm. It was in that conflict that the second in command, Nelson, then vice admiral, won added fame by disobey-
 ing the orders of his superior, Sir Hyde Parker. When the latter sgnaled to the
 hero of the battle of the Nile to withdraw, Nelson placed his telescope to his blind eye and remarked to the officers grouped about him, I cannot see it.. Before the war
 these battle waters were the congregar- ing place of the greatest fishing fleets
 in the world. In 1913 the catch in these 900 tons of fish, quantity so vast that it's
 significance can only be grasped by mental picture of 30-foot trucks lined up
 in possession from New York to San
 Francisco, via New Orleans. each truck
 being loaded wit htwo tons of seafood'

Saved by a Dream.

A farmer living at Lapford,
England, dreamed thrice in sue
cession that he saw a pit dug in
one of his fields and some of his
property cast into it. At the
third time of dreaming he got
up, dressed and went out. He
heard the thud of spade and
caught sight of a man digging by
lantern light. The digger fled
at his approach. 1t was a grave
upon which he had been at work.
By it's brink lay a huge knife.
On his way back the farmer met
one Of his maidservants. She
had had a quarrel with the man
to whom she had been engaged,
she said, but he had prevailed
upon her to meet him for the
last time at 2 o'clock that morn
ing, when he had something to
show her. "This is what he had
to show you," said the farmer,
leading her to the grave. Lon

The Lewis Machine Gun.

The deadly machine gun being
used by the Allies is an Ameri-
can invention. 1t came from the
brain of an American army officer,
Colonel Isaac Newton Lewis. 1t
was rejected in this country, aft
er a test which was pronounced
unsatisfactory" and adopted
in Europe after demonstrating
its efficiency.
Colonel Lewis, now retired,
was in the United States army
for thirty years. He devised a
rapid firing machine gun weigh
ing about twenty-six pounds, and
now known as the Lewis gun.
He offered it to the United States
government free of charge, but
it was rejected after several tests
had been made. Be it said, how
ever, to their credit, a number of
our army officers notably Gener-
ais Wood, Funston and Pershing.
have all along contended that
the Lewis gun is superior to that
which Brigadier General Crozier
adopted for our army. General
Crozier preferred the MERCER or
Hotchkiss gun, the invention of
a Erenchman, but which the
French did not adopt. We also
have in the United States army
a few Vickers, an English inven-
ton which the English army does
not favor.
After its rejection by the
United States army, Colonel Lew
is had his gun patented, and is
now receiving a royalty upon
every one used by the Allies.
The United States army will also
use the Lewis gun in the future,
paying its inventor the royalty
which he now demands-a trib-
ute to the folly of our army Of
ficers in not having recognized
the merit of the Lewis gun when
it was rendered to taem for moth
ing. The Allies are using thou
sands of these guns. Indeed, it
is estimated that fifteen million
rounds of ammunition are fired
from them every day in the bat
ties now being waged. They are
light and easily portable, and
can be operated by one man, and
do not jam as did the guns which
the American soldiers attempted
to use at the time of Villas raid
upon Columbus, New Mexico.
The truth is that if the American
soldiers at Columbus had been
equipped with the Lewis gun in
stead of the Hotchkiss pattern,
different story would have been
sent over the wires the morning
after the raid.

MCOMBS INTERPRETATION OF

Little Rock, Jan. w. F. Nc
Combs, chairman of the National
Democratic Committee, was in Little
Rock yesterday. He says that the
Interpretation of the national conven-
ton resolution about the election of
delegates to the national convention,
and national committeeman, by the
Arkansas committee, is not in accord
with his views. He says that the res
olution was not considered mandate
ny, and that it would not apply to
Arkansas, since there is no provision
in our primary law for the election of
these officers. However, the state
chairman and the state secretary are
of the opinion that no change will be
made in the order directing that dele
gates and alternates and national
committeeman be elected at the pri-
mary. 1t is suggested that compli-
cations can be avoided by having the
state convention ratify the choice of
the primary.
