BOTH SIDES WIN
LOUISIANA FIGHT
Contesting Delegates Seated,
Each with Half a Vote.

Chicago, June 4-The Louisiana
delegate contest. which has caused the
Republican National Committee more
concern than any other, was settled
to-day, when an amicable agreement
vas reached, under which both delega-
tions will be seated, each member with
half vote
For two days members Of the Ma
tional Committee have been working
for a settlement Of the question. The
contesting delegation asserted its
right TO appear in the convention, on
the ground that the Louisiana State
Convention was held in hotel from
which negroes were barred. lmmedi-
ately after the convention a rival state
convention was formed. and at a pri-
mary election the contesting delega-
tion was chosen.
The Georgia contest. which was de-
cided on Thursday and Friday. will be
carried before the Credentials Com
mitsee, it was announced by members
of the so-called Johnson faction. 20
which the National Committee gave
FIVE seats. eleven going 20 the Jack
son faction.
10 is expected that the hearing Of
contest will be completed tomorrow.
There is still a strong element in the
committee favoring refusal TO seat any
Of the delegates from the District OF
Columbia. The Texas contest, involv-
ing eleven seats. is the most important;
remaining TO be decided

STEEL ARMOR SHIELDS
MODERN WARRIORS
Helmets and Breastplates Used
by Allies and Germans.

Not the least remarkable feature Of
the present war has been the reintro-
duction of ancient contrivances in new
forms. Bombs, grenades, catapults
these and other old adjuncts of fight
ing have for some time been used side
by side with the most modern devices
for slaughteri1g man; and now armor
is being given another vogue, says
London Answers"
Twelve months ago the French gov
protiting. perhaps, from the
operations at Port Arthur, at which
both the Japanese and the Russians
used breastplates ordered large
number of similar projections.
Since then many have been manu-
featured by nearly all the countries at
war. An English type is twelve inches
long and eleven inches wide, weighs
Twenty-Five ounces and costs 81
shillings. II is also made double, in
which form il consists of two plates
back and 'front.' joined together by
pieces which fit on the shoulders and
give proSection against sword strokes.
The cost OF the double plate is SIS. sd.
Soon after the introduction of the
DreQStpIdte INTO the army OF our ally
the French Minister of War adopted a
light steel helmet. which is now worn
by many "poilus." Painted grsy-blue
TO harmonic with the French uniform,
il protects against stray bullets and
fragments of she'll which usually cause
the majority OF wounds. Out Of fifty
five cases Of wounds in the head, none
was fatal among the men who wore
helmets. whereas nearly one-half of the
unprotected men died. No doubt thou
sands Of lives would have been saved
had the French begun the war with an
ample supply of these helmets.
Similar steel skull caps have recently
been issued eXperimentally 10 some OF
our own troops, and a British inventor
has produced corrugated helme,
which. il is claimed. has greater resist
ing power than one made of plain steel.
The skull caps we are using will ward
off she'll splinters and spent rife or
shrapnel bullets.
In addition to breastplates and he'll

tically gloriied bucklers shave been
added 10 the resources of both sides.
Several kinds of shields. however, are
now employed on the western frontier,
and their number is more likely 20 in
crease than decrease.

SEES HOPE IN WARS END
Bishop Brent Trusts Peace will Bring
Wider Religious Teaching.

The Rev. DR.. {. II. Brent. Bishop Of
the Philippine Islands. preached the
communion service yesterday at the
Cathedral Of st. John the Divine
Touching upon the world war, ne ad-
vised that none pray for the peace pre-.
vailng before the beginning of the
war. but for such a peace as should
abolish the mischief and ruin that
brought on the conflict of nations
"If Christian teachings are not ade-
ouate for such times as these" he
said. they cannot prove Of value here
after. Christ ordained that men should
learn TO associate defeat with victory"
Bishop Brent likened abnormal condi-
tions Of to-day TO those Immediately
following the world tragedy that ended
on Calvary. The same inspiration and
vitality taken then by Christ's apostles,
he declared, would be asserted at the
close of the struggle and force an ac-
oeptance of religious teachings by ma
tions that heretofore have been indif-
ferent to true Christianity.
