of the big battleships of the navy.
"Jackies" stripped to the waist were
seen working in the turrets of the

and scenes in the mems quarters, drills
on land. great lines of ships strung
out in battle formation and scores of
other pictures of interest. The firing
of torpedoes was shown and an Hea
was given of the life in the submarines

Nothing seemed to create a greater i'm
preston on the audience than did the
firing of the big guns in target prac-
tice. Great clouds of smoke belched
forth from the guns when the ships
fired broadsides. and off in the distance
pillars of water arose when the shots
struck.
