BILLY BATTLES
BRIARS TO BAG
ONE LII 'POSSUM
This Is the Tale of a Wild
'PoSSum Hunt in Which the
iPoSSum Is but a Small Part
of the Story
BY WARD GREENE

DILLY SUNDAY and family are
X back in Atlanta today, with only
- one 'possum hanging on the Sun
day trophy belt. but with a THOUSAND
memories crowding in upon them or
Georgia cotton fields white with fleece,
of Georgia woods flaming with autumn
leaves, of Georgia swamps and thickets
lit by the glare of pine-knot torches the
dogs baying in the distance and every
body stumbling along pell-mell across
bitches and through briar patches and
canebrakeS. Billy himself in the lead
and Mrs. Sunday a close second.
There are also other memories-of
Lincoln McConnelrs thousand-acre plan
tation, "Pinehurst;" of Lincoln Neon
nelrs supper table borne down by the
weight of Georgia yams and country
ham and chicken and hot biscuits and
Jelly and steaming hot coffee; of the
good people of Epson county sitting
around the campfire in the deep piney
woods, singing Keep the Home Fires
Burning" while Homer Rodeheaver, in
khaki and sweater and leggings, led the
singing with a blazing torch held high
in his right hand.
one might also bring to mind Mrs.
George Sunday. a slim Diana all in a
black riding habit and high black leather
boots; and Billy, in a baseball shirt,
riding breeches and spiked shoes, sliding
to second through a barbed wire fence;
and Bob" Matthews, sitting down ten
derby on a cockle-bur-
But hold on! The story of the Billy
Sunday 'possum hunt at Thomaston, Ga,
Monday night should be told from the
beginning, for it is all worth the telling
from the time Charlie outlaw flashed a
hundred-dollar bill in the smoker and
the Pullman porter turned white with
anticipation, until Rody pulled his slide
trombone in the parlor of Lincoln Nc
Connelrs home and gave 'em THE End
Of Perfect Day"
The first 'possum was caught WITHIN
thirty minutes after the crowd left Lin
coin McConnelTs house. The cry went
I'D from Shaw Rogers, somewhere ahead.
"Dawgs freed! Dawgs treed"' And with
a clamor of shouts, everybody was off
in bunch.
Ten minutes later, a very small and
very frightened opossum, clinging to the
side of a sapling about twenty feet up
in the air, gazed down at the most dis
tinguished audience it has ever been the
fortune of an opossum to gaze down
upon.
For a moment it appeared that the
opossum would be forgotten in the heat

Jealousy, anger, courage, and the

He went back to work with
squared shoulders, and worked
until dawn.
At dawn he rushed into a dairy
lunch to get a sandwich and a
glass of milk. While he waited
for the heavy-eyed clerk to get 1t,
he picked up a morning paper.
The date caught his eye. This
was his last day of grace, sure
enough. He must call up and get
an appointment for the afternoon,
for Miss Harper would be sailing
tomorrow. Idly his eye travelled
across the page, and suddenly was
riveted by a headline, "Bertram
Parke and his wife, Helen Harper,
sail on the Mauritania today.
They will hasten to London, to
sign contract for play for Miss
Harper by Galsworthy. which will
be produced in New York imme-
diately on her return"
The print blurred before jarvis
eyes. Everything swayed and
swan. Out of the chaos came the
voice of the tired clerk, shouting:
Say, you, what's the matter with
you? Can't you take your sand
witch? Think I'm going to hold it

Jarvis didn't understand him.
He didn't even hear him. He just
laid down his last quarter and

CLAIMED this new weapon will make
"a $40, 600 seaplane a worthy match
for a $40, 100000 battle cruiser.
War experts agree that the
war could be decided in short
order If the allies could put
out. of commission the German
fleet which is bottled up in the
Kiel canal, and enter Germany by
land from the north.
The wonderful British navy.
which has the German fleet bottled
up, cannot enter the Kiel canal
because of the thousands of mines
laid by the Germans.
1t Is argued that the only
way to destroy the German
fleet is by attack from the air,
beyond the reach of mines,
and this means is furnished
by Admiral Fiske with his
scheme for launching tOrpe-
does, like those used by de-
stroyers, from aeroplanes.
Describing his invention, Ad-
miral Fiske says:
That the torpedoplane will be-
come an important factor in naval
warfare in the near future many
people have no doubt. 1t enables
the regular Whitehead auto tor
pedo to be launched from an aero
plane as effectively as from a de-
stroyer.
The aviator approaches an
enemy ship from a great distance
and high up in the air; and when
about six or seven miles away he
volplanes toward the water, runs
above the surface short dis
lance, heading for his target.
when ready he pulls a lever.
the action of which releases the
torpedo, which is rigidly held I'M
der the aeroplane, and at the same
time throws back the starting
lever. The result is that the tor
pedo takes to the water in exactly
the same way as If 1t had been
dropped from a destroyer.
NAVAL officers agree it
would be difficult for the guns
of a ship to hit a torpedo-
plane. Accurate firing from
rolling ship at an aeropIane
especially il that aeroplane
is neither overhead nor on
the surface of the water, is al
most impossible.
THE difficulty is to find the
range. A rapidly approaching ILL
defined aeroplane makes an elu-
sive target. The sudden changes
in the height of torpedoplane as
she would swoop down would In
crease the difficulty"
