FLAUNTED CHALLENGE

Declared That British Navy Is Not Hid

disclose a fact which | should be glad
to tell the enemy-when | say that the
British grand fleet in its northern base
| lies behind no shore defenses, but relies
on its own strength alone"
| There are people in the United States
who do not appreciate the activities of
the British navy in its home waters, who
think that it lies in idleness, like the
German high seas fleet, behind impene-
trable landlocked bases. For the purpose
of removing this impression, the Assoc
ciated Press representative was asked to
visit the grand fleet, live on board the
first-line battleships, and observe just
what sort of a days work it puts in
day after day and week after week
Ceaseless activity is the motto of the
grand fleet. Neither men nor ships are
permitted to gather rust or barnaces.
From its base at the northern tip of the
British Isles, it sweeps day and night
the 10000 square miles of the North
sea on ceaseless vigil. in mfagging hope
that one day its watching will be re-
warded by meeting with the enemy
under circumstances wherein he cannot
avoid battle. Moreover, this sweeping
of the North sea is no mere aimless pa
troll, In the most casual moves Of ships
and men there is always directing mind
and a directing plan. The North sea is
as well swept in relation to its size as
the drawing room of well ordered
house. The enemy's coast line is still
the British navy's frontier
The harbor which has been the home
of the grand fleet for three years is prob
ably the finest of its kind in the world
The whole area comprised in this British
northern base is about equal to the
hundred odd square miles which the Ger |
mans evacuated in France last spring !
The battleship squadrons, for example, |
with their own particular section Of this !
great base, have room for every kind of |

TOTAL SUBSCRIBERS LESS.

Big Subscriptions Dominate.

Copenhagen, Nov Tabulstion Of
subscriptions to the seventh German loar
show that over fourth of the tota
of twelve and half billions was con.
tributed in subscriptions of over a mil
lion marks each, l032 subscribers aver,
aging over three millions.
The sixth loan had only no subscribers
in the super million class.
There was marked decrease in the
number of small subscribers as well as
the total number of subscribers
The only classes showing an increase
in number of subscribers or total sub
seribed are those above half a million
which are responsible for over third of
the loan. These figures are Indicative
of the extent TO which the loan was sub
scribed by war supply interests.

Experts Consider Motion an Import.

Trouble-How to Tell Dis.
ease of the Spine.

When patient is asked to locate
his pain, he does so by movement Of
one or both his hands. The gesture,
however. not only indicates it's seat,
but describes its character and dis
tribution. Physicians say th1t this Is
an important point. If the pain is
widely distributed over the whole
chest the patient locates it with cir
cular rubbing motion OF the palm Of
the hand, indicating the diffused sore
ness. The pain Of serious inflam-
nation, on the other hand, is de-
scribed by first drawing the hand
away from the body and then. with
the fingers close together, or with the
index finger extended and the others
flexed, cautiously approaching the seat
Of the inflammation.
In appendicitis the patient does not
touch the skin ut all when asked to
locate the pain. He simply holds the
palm Of his hand over the diseased
area. With very violent abdominal
pains, which are not inflammatory, the
patient slaps himself vigorously
across the abdomen on being asked
to Indicate the location Of his trouble
IF a child complains Of persistent pain
in the stomach, and there is no ten
derness on pressure, disease Of the
spine is indicated.
In hip joint disease, the pain will be
referred to a point inside the knee.
With terrific diffused pain in the leg,
not due to an Inflammation. the pa
tient grasps the leg firmly. If 1t is
darling or lnncinating pain, he will
indicate 1t with one finger. In the
pain caused by the descent Of renal
calculi and gallstoncs, he follows
their course with the top Of the
thumb or index finger.
The pain Of hepatic neuralgia or
shingles" Is indicated with the
thumb or finger. In Joint pains the
patient approaches the seat of trouble
very cautiously with the hand spread
fiat, while dngencrative pain Of loco
motor ntnXia Is described by grasping
the affected area firmly indicating a
band-lilc pain. Or, If the pain Is
sharp and lightnnglilie in the leg the
pain gesture is perfectly descriptive.
