workers handling them knew what all
the ordered confusion meant. The
plain citizen who wrangles to achieve
modest rectiication of a telephone
wire gone wrong would here find cause
for prayerful wonder.
Sleep ANY Old Place
Doubtless all navies do the same
thing, but one gathered the impression
that it Is about the ultimate illustra-
ton of efficiency in complicated and
concentrated work. Through it all
the sailor man displayed his adapt
ability to sleep in impossible places
and positions under impossible cir
cumstances
The trip included a view of Beatty's
battleship squadron. There they were
and that is about all that can be
said. They were prepared to steam
for action at five minutes notice, and
they did not care to steam for action
with a cargo of newspapermen and
a Nationalist member of parliament.
These coud not decently be thrown
overheard and obviously were not
worth moments delay. One ship
carried into the Jutland battle an
army officer on leave from France
who was calling on brother on board.
He returned. fortunately, published it,
as his mature and we'll considered
judgment, that he felt more at home

that she had only a minute or two to
live, her commander issued two
orders. One was to close the water
tight doors that she might float as long
as possible, and the other to fire all
guns at utmost speed where there was
reasonable target He wanted her
to put in as many blows as she could
at the last moment, thinking with all
others on board that the last moment
had struck. There leaked out a
streaming concensus of opinion that a
certain high officer is considered just,
without bowels of mercy for careless
ness or slackers, and yet men like to
serve under him.
Then an incidental reminiscence by
a surgeon on one of the ships which
had the good luck to escape being hit
He was below, of course, waiting for
the wounded. and playing the hardest
part that can be experienced on a
ship in action. Even harder than the
engineers and stokers in the depths,
who work without seeing or know
ing what goes on above, and how goes
the battle, because he was neither
working nor seeing. The great guns
were rocking the ship and none below
knew whether it was victory or all to
the bottom. One of his men was alb
sorbed in a novel, paper covered and
frayed. Probably where heroic Alger-

veyed the visitors. around the squad
ron. There was considerable fresh
paint visible in splashes, more on the
German officially sunk Warspite than
elsewhere, but what that meant in the
way of damage was Greek to the out
slider. Two facts impressed an Amer
lean. That the commanders of the
larger ships averaged 10 years younger
than the commanders of ships of the
same class in the American navy, and
the number and variety and adapt
ability of the supply craft, the navy's
commissary department.
The only thing approaching leisure
discovered was on some of the de-
stroyers. These sea scouts work In

Beatty Stood on Bridge
Some information and scraps of
gossip of the battle came out in the
course of talk. One item was that Ad-
miral Beatty went through the fight
on the bridge and did not take the
protection of any of the armored
places which builders make for shelter
in battle, and be was under heavy fire.
Another, that when the Marlborough
was hit by a torpedo, and all believed

but now it's extent and the array of
docks and shops and barracks has
been so multiplied as to make it a
truly vast one.
The force of skilled and common
workmen Is larger than can be kept
at constant employment for they must
be able to grapple with emergencies
and with quick operations on big
scale. Wireless is a great aid. Every
squadron coming into port telegraphs
its needs, even the humble submarine
does the same. The materials and
the men are ready on the docks and
in the supply ships when the fighting
craft appear. There was an example
on view. One of the most massive
and swiftest warships in being was
shored up inside a drydock, and that
necessarily one of the largest docks
constructed, to have her hull scraped.
Incidentally advantage was taken of
the time, as is customary, for a
thorough overhauling of every detail
of the ships machinery from keel to
topmasts. Fifteen-inch guns, six
inch guns, turret machinery, every
detachable or movable fragment of
the whole complex creation was being
detached, and inspected, scrutinized,
tinkered. polished and oiled. Several
hundred workmen we're engaged.
Miles of wires were strewn above
decks and between decks, apparently

On this big ship as on all the
cruisers and destroyers. there was one
strong reminder of their work. About
all the smaller guns were stacked
shells; shells lining the sides like
Nankingl plates on the walls of a
porcelain collector. and shells in
boxes, and in baskets. Shells, and
more Shells" apparently is the motto
of the navy, as it is of the army.

HIGHLAND.

The Highland Press: On Monday as
John Arneson was leading a Jersey
COW from Pine Knob to it's new home
in this city, the animal became enraged
and knocked Mr. Arneson to the ground,
trampling upon his head and chest, in
ficting many painful cuts and bruises.
Mr. Arneson succeeded in getting out of
the Infatuated animals reach, and
fortunately escaped further injury.
For time it was thought the man was
fatally injured, but we are pleased to
state, he is fast recovering from his in
juries.
On Monday while at work around
the concrete mixing machine Of James
Cody, VIM. Shiefel in some way got his
foot caught in the bearings and had it
not been for the promptness of Mr.
Cody in shutting down the machine,
which is run with gasoline engine,
Mr. Shiefel would have no doubt been
badly injured, as it is he received a
badly lacerated foot.
