Dawson had done all those things In

seem to think much Of the experience.
Mr.. Dawson said that he assembled
at Peronne The French officer first
had taken him to great height-about
a mile-and then had swung out over
the great guns booming far below.
The biplane in which they flew, Mr..
Dawson said, was arranged admirably
for observation Of the bombardments
and infantry fighting below, and the
great height at which he viewed the
battle-it was on Sept % last-en-
abled him to look down upon a ire
mendous sweep of battle ridden coun-
try at all times.
He had made pretty thorough tour
of the trenches at Verdun also, he
said in answer to further questions
about experiences at the front. Then
he had devoted six days solely to trav-
cling by automobile and on foot along
the whole line Of trenches from Yer
dun to the British trenches on the
Somme. On a nearby table as he
spoke was rusty looking German
helmet and a rustier shell case which
he had picked up on battlefields, and
on the same table was the gray blue
steel helmet Of France which General
Petain had given to him to wear In
the trenches.

grounds by the ordnance corps, and
the statements published concerning
its efficacy are the results of actual
trials.
1t has taken many months Of ex-
perimenting to develop the bullet,
which is exactly like the ordinary bull
let in appearance, but has an outside
covering of lead around the armor
piercing center of steel. This lead
casing acts as a lubricant in passing
the bullet through the steel and is
ripped from the steel core as the bull
let passes through a solid obstruction.
Only a small number of the bullets
have been manufactured, and these
were made entirely in government
shops. Fifty ordnance and engineer
these were used in the first tests. A
three-quarter inch steel plate about
forty feet long and twelve feet wide
was erected, and behind it were fixed
six silhouette targets in the semblance
of a soldier.
A detail Of men from the coast artil-
lery and ordnance corps did the firing.
The bullets would not pierce the steel
at 100 yards. At fifty, however, they
riddled the steel plate and the sill
houette targets behind it.
1t is not believed that the new bull
let will be valuable or necessary in
ordinary infantry engagements in the
open. Its worth is said to lie princi-
pally In attacks on houses, steel shell
tiers and other Instructions behind
which enemy troops are concealed.
Tests have been made to demonstrate
that the bullets can be fired from q
machine gun as well as a rifle.

MIKE HICKEY TELLS
OF HIS REFORMATION
Ex-Pickpocket, With Twenty
Years Prison Record, Talks
to 400 Men.

Mike Hickey. once a notorious pick
pocket, with record of nineteen and
half years behind prison bars. told
400 men at the Harlem branch Y. NJ.
G. A., New York. how he Strengthened
out and how other inhabitants Of the
underworld could be helped to do the
same.
Mikes career as thief lasted until
about four years ago. when he wan
dered, fresh from Sing Sing, into the
Cremorne mission. on Thirty
street. 1t ended there. Now he is night
man at the BOwery Y. NJ. c.. A. and
passes his spare time helping his old
pals from DannemOra and Sing Sing
to get their feet on the straight and
narrow"
The trouble with the newly emerged
convict, he said. was the old story-Out
into the world with n $40 bill and
wish to keep straight; job until a cop
told the boss of his record, then no
more job; broke; one more trick to get
money to eat; caught. and back to
prison.
What the convict needs is a bit of
belief and encouragement when he
starts to reform. said Hickey, adding
that more and more the employers are
beginning to give this. so that many
men with long records as criminals are
now taking their places in honest life.

AUTO AIDS GUNNERS.

Utica, n. Yin most sections Of the
Adirondacks game is plentiful. More
and more each year the automobile is
being used by gunners, particularly
those who live In the cities and towns
near the forests.
Thousands Of hunters are going into
the woods for week end trips, and ma
chimes are also used for the purpose Of
taking the hunters from one good
ground to another. This of course re-

The new law prohibits any cunning
