FAMOUS BATTLES ON WATER
Lake champlaln the Scene Of One OF
the strangest That lie Recorded
In History.

More than one good scrap between
our war vessels and those of the enc
my has taken place In some secluded
lagoon, or In a tropical river whose
banks were so densely packed with
huge trees that the small battleships
and cruisers were able TO fire quite
hidden, London Tit-Blts says.
During the Russo-Japanese war
there Is more than one instance on
record when the naval craft of both
sides were pounding away at one an
other whilst being torn to pieces by
angry seas which were driving them
farther and farther onto the rocks.
In the Spanish-American war 1t Is
said that seismic disturbance on the
ocean stopped fierce naval engage
ment by huge tidal wave engulhng a
Spanish gunboat. But perhaps one OF
the strangest "sea" battles occurred on
lake during the American and Brit
ish war of independence. On Lake
Champlain, in America, a steady bonn
bardment was kept up by us and the
enemy, neither side being able to es-
cape, being. Of course, hemmed In on
all sides. The engagement seems to
have been a draw. In the treaty
which followed 1t was decided that the
naval forces to be maintained on this
lake should In future be of equal
power.

enactment, as adopted by the Senate,

portation thereof, from the United
States and all territory subject to the

The Sheppard amendment applies
not only to distilled spirits, but to beer
and wine. Attempts to change this
were defeated. So was an attempt by
Senator Hardwick, of Georgia, to pre-
vent the purchase or sale" of intoxi.

Only Hardwick, Broussard, Reed and
Harding voted for this idea. Sixty-two
Senators voted against it: Senator
Harding inserted the prdRiso that the
amendment should be null and void if
the states did not ratify it within six
years. Senator Borah held that to at
taeh this would impair the constitu-
tionality of the measure.
