Great Battle in
Open Field Expected
By the Italians

Rome, Oct. S1.-The enemy s
rapid gains of the last six days
are regarded as having been due
not so much to superior forces as
to the element of surprise.
According to the Giornale
d'Italia, no decisive battle has yet
been fought, although one is eX-
pected to develop. Such battle,
it is predicted, will be on q large
scale and involve wide movements
in the open field, in the Old-fash-
ioned way.

I've done closed up my barber shop.
And packed up all my tools.
I've closed my old log cabin up, loaned
Uncle Sam my mules.
My Uncle Sam has called on me to
Come and do my stunt,
I'm going to don a soldiers suit and
Rush right to the front.
CHORUS:
I'm going to fight for Dixie and dear
Old Uncle Sam
You bet am that's no film fam
And when the drums are beating, you
Won't find me retreating
Nor trembling like a lamb.
I'm going in like q lion. don't care how
They're firm
This battle amt no sham.
You'll find me most defying. you'll
Hear me loudly crying
I'm going to fight for Dixie Land
And dear old Uncle Sam.
I'm going to take my raxors long,
I'll use them in a clinch
When l get through slashing round
They'll find l amt no cinch.
The musket is a grand old thing.

But razor Is the only thing

NAVAL HEAvYWEI0HTs.
And the Way One Bit Of Official Red
Tape Was United.

Since the chief requirement in q
torpedo boat destroyer is speed,
speed and yet more speed, it has al
ways been the aim Of naval con-
structors to keep the fittings Of such
vessels as light as is consistent with
strength and 10 dispense with all
fittings that are not absolutely nee
essary.
Some time in the year 1904, says
Lieutenant +. II. Roberts in the
Army and Navy journal, a fiotilla
of destroyers sailed from the Allan
tic coast to the Philippines by way
Of the Mediterranean and the Suez
canal. 1t so happened that the com
handing officer Of one OF the de-
stroyers weighed about 230 pounds.
His two assistants, both Of them en-
signs, each weighed more than 200
pounds. Out Of half dozen petty
officers three we're heayyweights,
and in the crew were two or three
others Of the same size.
When the ilotilla arrived in the
Philippines the weather was hot and
sultry, and the sun kept the steel
deck Of the vessel like stove. The
vessels original allowance list had
included one electric fan, and so the
commanding officer immediately
submitted a requisition asking that
a fan be furnished for the wardroom
and one in each compartment in
which the crew were quartered, five
fans in all
The request in due time reached
Washington, and some three months
later was returned disapproyed,
since the bureau did not wish 10
add any unnecessary weight TO the
vessel for fear Of reducing its
speed
Nothing daunted, the command
ing officer returned the requisition
with a statement thereon Of the
weights Of himself, his two commits
stoned assistants and other mem
bers Of the crew and requested that
one or two Of the heavyweights be
transferred, and that a man weigh
ing about one hundred and fifty
pounds be assigned to his place, and
further requested that the disap-
prevail Of his rcquisition be recon
Needless to say, the fans
we're forthcoming. and no one was
transferred, not even the command
ing officer.
