KING LEWANIKA'S STATE BOAT
Royal Craft Is 100 Feet Long, Carries
Monster Elephant Emblem, Court
Jester mad Musicians.

"While travelling in Rhodesia,"
writes a contributor in the Wide World
Magazine, II managed to get a glimpse
Of King Lewanika'S state barge. The
chief of the Barotse is fine fellow,
but | was much amused one afternoon
to see him going out for a row attired
In top hat and a gaudy dressing
gown.
Soon after the rains commence the
BarOtse valley is flooded and natives
migrate to the sandy belt some miles
away for the season. The king al
ways makes the trip in the royal barge,
an enormous craft about 100 feet long.
In the center are two compartments,
both covered in, one being the living
room and the other the sleeping quar-
tiers. On the roof of one of these COM
partments is erected a monster ele-
plant, as sort of kingly emblem,
while on the other stands the court
Jester, who, on this occasion, amused
the pOpulace by pretending to hunt
and shoot the elephant. A band of 20
musicians were accommodated on the
barge, in addition to whom there were
oO or 60 paddlers and a host of bailers,
Tor the barge was by no means water
light. To the accompaniment of weird
music and barbaric song the huge craft
was propelled along on its journey, the
return voyage taking place four or five
months later

LLOYD GEORGE SEES
NO SIGN OF PEACE
ONLY TERMS NOW POSSIBLE
WOULD MEAN ARMED TRUCE.
WORSE STRUGGLE WOULD BE
THE RESULT.

London, Oct 22.-"I have scanned
the horizon intently," said Premier
Lloyd George today, and can see no
terms in sight which will lead to
enduring peace The only terms now
possible would mean an armed truce
ending in even more frightful strug-
gle"
Mr.. Lloyd George said Germany
would make peace now only on terms
which would enable her to benefit
| by the war. He asserted that would
be encouragement to every bucan-
neering empire in the future 10
repeat the experiment.
| More than twice as many German
submarines were lost in the first ten
months of this year as in all OF
| last year, the premier said. The
British tonnage lost monthly now Is
not more than one third Of that lost
| last April.
The premier said he had hoped
the enemy's terrible power might be
broken this year, but that the tenn
porary collapse of the Russians had
postponed this hope. But time was
on the side of the allies, he said.
| Time once was neutral, but two

1 ing failure of the German submarine
| war.
The allies are working in the
greatest harmony, the premier con-
| tinued He said they were on the
| eve of the most important interallied
! conference ever held, at which for
| the first time representatives OF
| Of 70 RncCian dQmOC-
racy would be present. He said that
| the conference meant to determine
the ultimate issue of the war.
The war, said the premier, was
terrible in itself, but more terrible
in the possibilities it revealed of
new horrors on land and sea and in
the air. 1t must be settled now,
once for all, he declared. If the war
| should be renewed after thirty years
more of scientific application, it
would mean the death of civilization
Brute force must be dethroned for
ever.
To realize what the advent OF
America meant, the premier went
on, was necessary only to look back
on the rapid growth of the little
British army. America was now
starting and it's resources in man
power were twice those of Britain.
British shipbuilding, said the pre-
mier, had increased four-fold and
America had done likewise. Ger
many laughed at the declaration OF
China and other nations, "but these
declarations meant that most of the
worlds food and raw materials were
under the flags of Germany's enemies
which would reduce Germany to i'm
| potence and desolation"

RUSSIANS VICTORS
in NAVAL BATTLE
GERMANS WORSTED IN GULF OF
RIGA-2 DREADNOUGHTS DIS
ABLED, TRANSPORT AND IL
TORPEDO BOATS OUTFOUGHT.

Petrograd, Oct 23.-Twe German
dreadnoughts, one cruiser, II torpedo
boats and one transport were put
out of action by the Russians in the
fighting around the islands in the
Gulf of Riga last week, but their
ultimate fate is unknown, says an Of
fetal statement issued by the Rus
sian admiralty. 1t has been estab-
lished that at least six German tor
pedo boats were sunk in the fighting.
The Russians lost the battleship
Slava and large torpedo boat.
The admiralty staff in its review
of the fighting says that the Russian
units fought excellently against the
superiority of the Germans. The
statement reads:
During October II important en-
envy naval forces, together with
transports, were sighted by our out
posts in the Gulf of Riga. In Moon
Sound the enemy seems to be clear
ing the water of distractions which
we laid down. There was no naval
action during the day, but enemy
submarines were discovered in the
Gulf of Finland
GAS the naval operations in the
Baltic isles have now ended, it is
possible to review them. The task
of our fleet in this region was, with
the organized position of Moon Island
as a base, to prevent any attempt to
sieze the Gulf of Riga and Moon
Sound. So long as the German fleet
only employed in such operation
elements of minor importance as in
1915, namely two dreadnaughts, our
naval forces could cope with them,
"In 1915, although our position in
Moon Sound was organized incom-
pletely, we repulsed successfully all
attacks and the enemy during three
days possession OF the Gulf of Riga
suffered losses so grave that he was
obliged to depart. A similar attempt
in 1916 with other unimportant forces
failed completely.
In the recent operations the en-
envy employed the major part OF his
fleet and his overwhelming superior
ity enabled him to carry out debark-
alton rapidly and successfully. Our
fleet only was able to do its best
to hinder these operations and to in
flict maximum losses. With this OBJ
ject we delivered series of attacks

possession.
'As a result of these operations
the enemy lost through mines. sub
marine attacks and artillery fire two
dreadnoughts, one cruiser. ~ torpedo
boats, one transport and numerous
mine sweepers, all of which were put
out OF action. Their ultimate fate is
unknown. We have established the

boats, twi of which were of the small
type and were sunk by gun fire from
our position on Moon Island The
other topedo boats were sunk in COM
bat or blown up by mines. The
wreck of the torpedo boat T-69 is
visible on a sand bank in Kassar Bay
Further, our coast batteries sank
four enemy torpedo boats.
"Onr losses are the ship of the
line Slava and a large torpedo boat
destroyer of the German type. The
efficiency of our other ships has been
maintained completely"
German torpedo boats of the T-69
class were built in 1891, displaced
las tons and had a complement of
16 men. They are 154 feet in length.
The Russian battleship Slava,
whose loss has been reported pre-
viously, displaced 1856 tons. She
had complement of 1926 men and
was $40 feet in length. The Russian
destroyers of the Grom type were
built in 1914 and displaced LILO
tons. They had a complement of
SO men and length of 321 feet.

JIM DALE
(By Ellis Parker Butler)

Young Jimmy Dale, across our street
Is just a gawky lad
He grew SO fast, the doctors said,
His heart was mighty bad.
They wouldn't let him do much work
Or any hearty play
But, just the same, they drafted Jim
And Jim has gone away
Jim was sort of great, big kid
And fooling all the while
So, when they ordered him to camp,
He went there with smile
Jim Dale is in the army now,
Lark legs, bum heart and all,
To fight like other drafted men
That got the country's call.
God, yes! Jim's heart may drop him dead
Or he may live to be
Shot all to pieces "over there
What odds to you or me?
By thunder! It's these odds to you'll
If kids like Jim can go,
With smiles to fight our wars for us
If we can buy bond or two
And DON'T, while Jim poor cuss,
Goes smiling off to death or wounds
Then hells too good for us!
