FAMOUS BATTLES ON WATER
Lake Champlain the Scene Of One OF
the Strangest That Is 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 We're so densely packed with
huge trees that the small battleshlps
and cruisers were able to fire quite
hidden, London Tit-Bits says.
During the Russo-Japanese war
there is more than one instance on
record when the naval craft or both
sides were pounding away ut one an
other whilst being torn 10 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
n lake during the American and Brit
ish war of independence. On Lake
Champlain, in America, n 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 il was decided that the
naval forces to be maintained on this
lake should in future be of equal
power.

New Humanitarian Device.

One of the most humanitarian In
ventions now being used in the base
hospitals i'm France, with great sue
cess, according TO n man who has just
returned from there. is an electric con-
trivance TO remove particles of metal
from wounds. The invention comes
from Pittsburgh, where 1t has been in
use for some time at one of the big
mills. This machine is powerful
electric magnet that is taking the
place of a surgeons painful and per-
ilous probe, and it Is one TO save
countless lives and untold agony. The
removal Of pieces Of shrapnel, steel
jacketed bullets and other metal sub
stances from wounds by use of pow
erful electromagnetic has been ac-
claimed as the very latest application
of science to surgery. The magnet is
mounted on box which contains a
rheostat used to regulate the amount
Of current flowing through the coils.
1t requires 1000 watts for its manipu-
latiOn, or enough power to supply 100
32-candle power Mazda lamps.

DEI, AWARE BOYS
AT CAMP DIX
Their Doings Related By
Clarence Hopkins

A stranger visiting the Della
ware boys at Camp Dix last Sat
urday morning was heard to re-
marks about the unusually happy
EXPRESSION upon the faces of most
of the boys. "That's easy enough"
replied Sergeant Jolls, "today is
pavday." And that was the rea-
son visitor in Camp Sunday
found it practically deserted so far
as Delaware's representation was
concerned. Nearly all were given
passes from Saturday noon until
Monday morning. On Saturday
afternoon the 307th Machine Gun
Battalion's football team, compos-
ed entirely Of Delaware men, play
ed the 303rd Engineers and held
them to a Ia to 7 score which was
a remarkable record in view of the
fact that they have one of the
strongest teams in camp, inciud-
ing men who have been stars in
some of the leading colleges of the
East and who are we'll known
throughout the sporting world.
Manager Russell of the M. G.
boys, is trying to schedule a game
with Lafayette College for
Thanksgiving Day to be played in
Wilmington and if successful the
Delaware football enthusiastics
NAV expect a classy article of foot
ball.
The Y. M. C. A. is doing won
derful work promoting every en-
terprise possible that will be
benefit to the boys and help relieve
the dull monotony of Camp life.
We are given several hours each
week which must be devoted to
music under the instruction of an
able teacher who is found in the
person of Mr.. Hawkins, General
Secretary of the Y. M. c. A. at
Camp Dix. Mr.. Hawkins has ar
ranged a singing contest between
the many battalions and regiments
stationed here, the winner to be
decided by elimination, according
to the origionality of the songs.
Geo. Madden, a former Delaware
College student, has come to the
front with one that is voted win
ner by all the boys here. The song
will be published after the contest.
A quantity of Machine Guns
have been distributed to each
Company which means just one
more step on the journey cover
There" The boys are all anxious
to start machine gun drill, they
look upon the infantry drill as
tame and there is not a man in the
Battalion who wouldn't be sorry
should he be transferred from the
suicide squad. That is the spirit
that represents Delaware's quota
in the National Army which is GER
tainly one which any state might
be proud.
