HUNTSVILLE POLICE
 OFFICER IS KILLED
 IN REVOLVER BATTLE
Frank McKissick Instantly Killed, But Gets His Man, Fatally Wounding Dan
 Clenny

Huntsville, May 29.-(Special )-Po1ice- man Frank McKissick, one of the most popular and efficient men of the Hunts vile police department, was instantly killed early this morning in pistol bat tie with Dan Clenny a half-witted youth, who was himself shot through the chest and fatally wounded
 The tra gedy followed the robbery of hardware store uptown, in which Clenny and another man robbed the store of several revolvers. One of the stolen re- that killed McKissick.
 Tn robbery was discovered a short time past midnight and squad of policemen was sent to the Southern depot district to head off the burglars who were known to be trying to get away on an outgoing train. The men were intercepted at Short street intersection of Washington street only a short distance from the depot. While McKissick was standing under an electric light, Clenny opened fire on him from the darkness. The off cer returned the fire, but moment later went down with a bullet through his spine, which caused instant death.
 Clenny staggered away, pursued by Officer Tom Sanders, and fell at the railroad crossing, where it was found that he had been shot through and through in his battle with Officer Me- Kissick. Clenny was taken to the hospi- tal ward of the jail, where it was stated that he had but small chance for recov- cry.
 McKissck was about 50 years old and is survived by a young widow and a 7-months-old daughter. He was grand son of Officer Charles Street, who was killed 30 years ago by a negro whom he sought to arrest. The negro was lynched the next morning.

commission, which short time ago re- turned from a tour throughout South l America.
 According to this commission, South America is a relatively unimportant fac | tor so far as furnishing market for l United States commodities is concernee. l One reason why it is an unimportant
 factor is the poverty of the people. The
 commission discovered that the peopt | have empty pockets. They are without funds to buy foreign goods. The only commodities which can be sold by Amer | ica are those which can be used in ex- 1 tensve development of the natural re- sources of the country. Furthermore | some members of the commission dfs- | covered that the United States may draw 1 from South America a considerable amount of raw material, but this mate ] rial can only be secured after large t.amount of wealth has been sunk. The Boston News Bureau publishes this
 dispatch for what the information is
 worth If the view of merchants. and | financiers in New York is accurate, then 1 the members of the international com mission who made reports of this kind uron their return to the United States must have overlooked South America l very superficially
 One of the first of the answers made by those whom the inquiry was put as. to whether or not these statements Iwere correct was this: The American In terna tional corporation whose manage ment is in the hands of men whose abil- | ity has been tested and never found wanting and. the greatest of American mercantile houses, William R. Grace x Co.,. are in cooperation and close affilia- ton, the purpose being to increase great | ly our trade with South America, and especially the west coast. Some millions of new capital have been invested in this undertaking, and what will be with 1 a single exception the largest fleet of commerce bearers owned by American capital will be occupied with this devel- opment.
 So it is said that it does not stand to reason that men of the long experience
 and recognized ability which character izes the International corporation and William R. Grace & Co. would be likely to undertake great venture of this kind were there not excellent reasons for presuming our trade with South Amer | ica would be steadily increased.

WALL STREET AND POLITICS

In 1912, the financial district was muck interested in the political activities cf that presidential year. Today national pelitics excite only perfunctory inter est, due in part to curiosity. Neverthe- less some of the leaders have opportun- ties to learn what is in progress and what they learned has led them to be- lieve that politics of the following kind are uncer way in the republican and pr oSressive parties. The old guard will make as vigorous an attempt as 1t can to control the national convention.

ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW.

Ernest H. Wands, who, during the ad' ministration of President Taft, was confi- dential representative of the state depart ment in several of the South American countries, visited two or three of the South American countries last fall, hls visit extending into the winter. Upon his return, he spoke of the prosperity which the people of Brazil and Argentina are now enjoying. While the nations them selves are in need of funds for the ex- pansion of the public utilities and rail- roads the people are receiving larger amounts of money than at any time heretofore. Furthermore, MT. Wands found that the two leading industries in the United States in the manufacture of electrical apparatus have obtained abun- dant markets for their apparatus, and these are likely. to increase.
 Charles M. Schwab, the Guggenheims and others who are developing South American mineral properties find album
 iant commercial Justification for their heavy investments. The bureau of com inerce at Washington could have fur nished the members of the international commission with statistics which show in cold figures how greatly commerce with South America has increased with in few years. It is not thought in the financial district that the statement Of members of the International high conn mission to the effect that "the bright bubble of South American trade has been pricked," will stand in the way of any further attempts to encourage cur trade uith South America

Will Stop Maritime Warface

q firmly believe the destiny of the submarine is to stop all future mari time wars between countries" writes Simon Lake. the inventor of the type of submarine adopted by the United States, as we'll as by many of the war ring nations of Europe, in the Popular Science Monthly for June. "A tremen- dous power for destructon. the sub marine is in itself useless for pur- poses of invasion. The moment the submarine becomes visible it becomes vulnerable Its function, therefore, Is to lie in wait and attack unawares. All students of warfare must now admit that it is manifestly impossible to send an army across the sea with big guns and troops and to land them, if sub marines are on watch I believe all en- gineering experts must also admit that when the proper motive power for sub- marines is evolved. motive power which will give the submarine the speed of a surface ship then merchant men cannot carry on commerce on the high seas except by mutual agreement equitable to all nations. And I believe this will hasten the day when each country will consent to agreement to do unto others as they would be done by
 'If in time of national differences. it were possible for each country to en- circle itself with a zone 10 miles in width, to pass which would be sure death, it world not be long before ouarrelins countries would make up their differences If our country had sufficient submarines to protect it's coast line and to estab blish such sim liar zone. an offensive war would be rendered unnecessary"

RH JOHN S. STEELE

London, May 20-(Spj Spjecial.)-From foot man to head of the thinking machine of the British army in the greatest war Tn history, with the sure prospect of a peer age at the end of the war, if not before This is the record of Gen. Sir William Robertson, who was recently appointed chief of the general staff at the war office in London, and virtual commander in-chief of the British armies. Since his appointment he has taken over several of the duties formerly performed by Lord Kitchener, thus leaving his great chief freer to devote his time to the work more properly belonging to the province Of the civilian minister of war for that is the post which Kitchener, although the great est soldier of his day, is occupying at present
 Robertson's rise to the very highest possible position in the British army is Unique-to use a word that is often abused in it's most accurate sense. There is no case on record of ranker at taining the highest command in the Brit ish army and only one other course in which ranker even came within meas urable distance of it. Private soldiers, it is true, have obtained commissions be- fore the great war, and in this war hun dreds of them have been promoted to commissioned rank, but in the old days few of them ever got farther than the rank of major. Most of these, too, were what is known as gentleman rankers, young men of good family who either had not tine money or the ability to go through the military college at Sand hurst, and who enlisted i'll the ranks with the express intention of winning a com mission. Commanding officers looked kindly on these men, and it was much easier for them to win their way up than for the genuine enlisted man, no matter how clever or how good soidler he might he.
