Mississippi Boys Coming
Home Soon

Although no official order has
yet been issued by the war
department, it is probable that
the First Mississippi regiment
will be back in Jackson within
the next thirty days.
Orders were recently issued
from the department for the re.
turn of a large number of regi-
ments from the border, but the
First Mississippi was not among
the number.
However during the past few
days several members of the
regiments who are at home on
furloughs have received instruc-
tons not to return to Fort Sam
Houston. but to report in Jack
son to be mustered out. and
this is take TO mean that the
regirent' will be on the border
only d few weeks longer, posi-
bly, less than a month, for fur
loughs to privates are usually
for thirty day period.
No advices have been received
at the Adjuntant Generals office
concerning the matter, nor has
General S A g s received any
letters from sofficers of the reg
iments expressing their opinion
on the subject, but the orders
being issued from Washington
are taken as an indication that
the department is saving mileage
by having soldiers on furlougb

NEW TORPEDO ARRESTER.
Interesting and Promising Device
Invented by a Washington Man.

In a recent issue of the Scientific
American a ship protective device is
described, which. according to en-
gineers and other competent authori-
ties, promises to solve the problem for
the protection of ships against subma-
rine torpedoes.
It was almost Inevitable that in the
search for some quickly improvized
submarine protection for merchant
ships the placing of some obstruction
in the path of the torpedo should sug-
gest itself.
Experiments heretofore made with
nets and steel plates have proved de-
fective, largely because of the neces-
sity of encountering heavy seas. which
measure from fifteen to twenty feet In
height from the trough to the crest OF
the wave.
Nets, whether of steel rings or rope.
are a tremendous drag in the sea, and
are easily cut through by the automat-
ic cutters with which the modern tor
pedo is equipped. When they break
loose from the towing and supporting
booms they become a menace to the
safety Of the ship by fouling her pro-
pellers.
Other forms of barriers such as steel
plates act like an unruly keel They
sheer off to one side or the other with
irresistible force, tearing the tackle
from the ship or themselves rising or
planning" along the surface.

ships against torpedoes promises q
ready solution Of this difficult problem
The new system is the invention and
development of Prof. Nevil Monroe
Hopkins of the George Washington
University. and formerly an engineer
of important rank in the United States
Navy Department.
The great novelty Of the invention
lies in the peculiar construction of the
steel belt and in its flexible support by
a system Of balanced booms.
The belt is constructed with multi

from a steel plate of suitable thick
ness, through the agency of the oXy-
acetlyene blowpipe or machine slot
ter, and the belt is supported by sharp
canoe-shaped floats. 1t is held off a
suitable distance from the hull of the
ship by system of balanced booms
which in a seaway. allow the ship to
roll freely without undue stress or
strain upon the booms, floats or belt
In practice pneumatic cylinders con-

state and federal officers are on their
trails. This afternoon one of the pa
pers Of this city printed a complete list
of the men who registered here June 5.
and this list is being gone over by the
officers. Men in every part of the city
have been requested to report any man
whose name is omitted and who is
known to be within the prescribed mill
tary age.
Another factor in rounding up the
slackers will be the lists OF men who
have ordered whisky shipped to them
on the score that they were of age
They had to SO swear when they got
their packages. These cards are avail
able to the officers. and there will be
many in Virginia who will have a hard
time explaining how they were old
enough to get liquor and were not old
enough for military duty. The records
are open to every officer in every part
OF the state. and 1t is known that they
will be employed to rid the community
OF many undesirable cittzens.
