PAINT TO DEADEN TORPEDOES
Perfected Composition Which Makes Submarines Harmless.

St. Louis, Mo.-A paint against which torpedoes fired by submarine or other warships will not explode is said to have been invented by St Louis man, whose name is withheld. This paint. the inventor claims, will make ships invulnerable to subma- -rineS.
 In test on nearby lake mini ature torpedo, a foot long, was fired forty times into the preparation, it is said. and failed to explode.
 The preparations composition is a secret. When a sOft-nosed torpedo strikes this coating, it is said to dead en the chemicals in head of the tor pedo. The chemicals in the head of the torpedo send electric currents along wires in the center of the tor pedo, which ignite the explosives in the rear. If the chemicals in the head are deadened the torpedo fails to ex- plode.
 The inventor, through his attorneys will bring the plant to the attention of the navy department at Washington.

BREAD MAY DECIDE CONFLICT
British Food Expert Says Economic Use of Loaf May Be Determining
 Factor in War.

London-Bread instead of bullets may determine the course of the war, according to the British food control Ter.
 "It is probable that bread and it's relative availability and economic use both here and in Germany will prove the determining factor in the war" said Captain Bathurst in a speech at the Royal Society of Arts. He con tinued:
 "War bread is almost a complete hu- man food and when combined with butter or margarine it is a complete human food. That cannot be said of the anemic loaf with which we were all too familiar in the pre-war days. We have obtained a bread which pass es muster with our chief scientific crit ics, but unfortunately the general pub lie do not even now desire it."
 Captain Bathurst said it would be in the public interest to employ all the materials used for beer making in the manufa cture of foods.

KING PROUD OF NEW ARMY
Roumanian Force in Action Again Is Better Disciplined and Equipped
 Than Ever Before.

Petrograd.-Reorganized, better dis ciplined and better equipped, the ROu- manian army is in action again. Fer dinand's ravished kingdom is far diff ferent from the disorganized host that fled eastward last year before the overwhelming hordes of Von Falken- hayn and Von Mackensen.
 Throughout the winter months and late into the spring Russian, British and French officers worked over the Roumanian troops, drilling them in the new fighting tactics which this, the greatest of all wars, has brought out
 The new Roumanian army Is the pride of King Ferdinand's eye and great things are expected from it this coming summer.

With absorbent cotton and had plugged our ears. The cotton made men'S voices sound numb and far-off. It ha0 no effect whatever upon the voice Of the cannon.
 The steel doors of the compartment had been closed and locked. There was no escape.
 The range came over the speaf ing tube. The first pointer repeated il and made an adjustment. There come voice, even through cotton, q believing voice: Coming on the range! Coming on the range." There was a dead silence. Then low, clear and insistent like the deadly rattle of our most infamous native snake the buzZer.
 I had forgotten about the gun in the next compartment. I shall never forget it again. It went off
 Lifted by the concussion.
 I was sitting at the moment and my feet were swinging clear of the deck. I had nothing to jump into. But I rose in the air and came down. Then our gun went. The flash was brighter than sunlight. It was of an intolerable brightness, and all but in tOlerable was the bang that went with it. The assault was less upon the body than upon the soul. My ears did not suffer at all.
 I went out to see how many shots were fired. I did not get used to it. l know that, for not once did I see the gun recoil and go back into place. Try as would, that white, hot, deaf ening flash shut my eyes tight for me.
 I watched a second run from the bridge. It was pleasanter. The bang. sticks were even farther off and you could see the tall, white splashes of the ricOchetting shells. I got so that could keep my eyes open.
 I have said that battleship is a man. I have said that it is city. It is neither. It is a romance. I re- call searchlights that searched the heavens and the face of the waters that crossed and crisscrossed; the starry calls of the bugles and the sea-salt names of things. Have you lived in Arcadia? Well, have lived in the Junior Officers Country"
 I remember a night of firing O: shells that gave off fire so that you could watch the long, lovely curves of their flights; and of searchlightS which spoke to each other as easily and as freely as a man speaks to q man.
 But what is best in our navy is not the machines, nor the drives, nor thc controls, nor any of the death-dealine or life-saving appliances. It is \the spirit of these men who, through dis cipline and self-sacriflce, have learned to find the true values of life and the true meaning of that flag for whicf at any moment they are ready to Ia! down their lives.
 I speak not only of admirals am captains. of wardroom officers ant junior officers, but of the boatswaiD' :, mate and the enlisted men.

BRITAIN IN STRAITS
 FOR MORE SURGEONS

Manchester. Eng.-The drain which the war has made upon the British medical profession Is shown by the fact that more than 250 physicians and sur geons from the Manchester dis trict are serving in the army.
 The insistent demands for more army surgeons will get slight response from this district because it has already been combed out, says the Manches- ter Guardian.

CROW MEAT IS IN DEMAND
Two German Food Spectators in Jail for Trying to Corner the Crow

Beriin.-Two German food specula- tors have extended their activities even to crows, which are in great de- mand on account of the scarcity of other meat. Emil Andre, a merchant, and Richard Pocha, a retired business man, recently were sentenced to two weeks Imprisonment and $50 fine each by the Berlin court because they tried to create & "cOrner" In young crows and sold the birds at eKorbitsnt prices.

NAME OF PAPER CHANGED

The name of this paper has been
changed from Camas Prairie. to Cot
tonwood Chronicle, which name it will
be known by hereafter. We believe
that SO percent of our readers will IA
vor this change, as it is shorter, easier
to say and besides, the principal rea-
son is that it proves better adver-
tisement for the town and community.
Unless paper takes the name of the
town in which it is published, nearly
everybody except those we'll ac-
quainted-must inquire where the pa
per is published. Very few papers
can be found any more that do not
carry the name Of the town in their
head, and in fact the citizens of a town
and patrons generally insist upon this
rule.

Another proof of Cottonwood's pros
perity is that it is next to impossible
to find vacant house for rent-es-
pecially during the fall and winter
months, when many farmers move to
town for our excellent school advan-
tages. Wherever you find a town
with plenty of vacant buildings you
are sure to find a poor business town
that has been the victim of fake boom
ers and mushroom growth. However,
at least so more dwelling houses could
be rented here readily at rent that
would pay better than ten percent in
terest, and the wonder is that some of
our capitalists do not put up num-
Der Of houses for rent. Lack of hous-
es here for rent forces many people to
move to other towns during the school
months.
