NAVY IS STRONGER
THAN LAND FORCES
United States Makes Best Show
ing Upon the Sea.
MAJOR VESSELS NUMBER 226
Present Comparisons With Other Ma
tons Difficult Because Of Secrecy
Maintained by Countries
at War;

OF the two branches of the armed
forces of the United States-the army
and the navy-the latter is by far the
more formidable when compared with
the armed forces of the other great
powers.
According to the latest records, the
American navy totals 1,O97,5O tons
displacement, taking into account both
ships built and building.
This tonnage compares with the
following for the great powers on July
!. 1914, or about three years ago.:
Great Britain, 2,713,756; Germany,
100000; France, 899,915; Japan, $685.
916; Russia, 701, 253; Italy, 497 ,S15,
and Austria-Hungary, 372,OOS.
In the period since then these great
powers, all at war, have increased
their navies by giant strides. They
naturally have kept their naval de-
velopments secret, but it is known, for
instance, that in the first two years of
the war Great Britain launched a new
navy fully equal In size to the whole
of the United States sea fighting
forces.
Exactly how the American navy
compares with others today is impos-
sbe for most experts to say. Perhaps
a few secret-service men in the employ
of the big fighting governments know,
but if they do they are keeping this
valuable information for their own ma
TONS purposes
The number of officers and men in
the United States navy on July 1.
1915, was 5000. This compared with
pre-war strengths on July 1, 1914, of
150,G09 officers and men for Great Brit
ain; Germany, 79,197; France, 63,846;
Japan, 55,738; Russia, 52,463; Italy,
39,913, and Austria-Hungary, 1881.
1t has been stated in newspaper dis
patches that the officers and men In
the British navy now number 100000,
and that a round million workers are
constantly employed in Great Britain
building new ships of war and repair
ing old ones. Less is known about
Germany's naval strength as developed
under the stress of war, but she is sup
posed to have between five hundred
and eight hundred new submarines in
commission.

Look out for the fake pacifist;" :" he's apt to pass fist into your eye when you're not looking. There are some genuine believers in
 peace and non-resistance, but the
 bulk of those who claim to be such in time of trouble are impostors, who are only seeking to evade their duty or carry on some plot. Their insincerity is shown by the fact that thousands of them are now seeking to join the Quaker and oth- CT churches whose creeds place the ban on war. But as in the case of the "slackers" who get married with the idea of evading military duty, these eleventh-hour resolutions will not be recognized.

The day for the selectiye draft has not been determined upon by the War Department, but it is ex- pected the plans for it's applica- tlon will soon be worked out and announced. Ample opportunity is being given in the meantime for all eligibles to enlist in some branch of the service. When the draft is made, it will be equitable and just. each county unit being required to furnish it's proportionate quota, and ample and just opportunity will be given to prove exemptions. It is believed that there will be no more trouble with the draft than there was with the registration, as the men who are drafted are in ali re- spects as honorable and as brave as the others. They will constitute the National Army, and as such are expected to give a good ac- count of themselves at the front.

FATHER KILLS SON.
Otis Perrine of FelsenthaI Shot to Death for
 Attempting 10 Kill Father.

A sad tragedy was enacted at Felsenthal Thursday afternoon at $50 clock when pr. J. M. Per rine emptied the contents of an automatic pistol into the body of his son, Otis, as he came at him with a heavy pitcher after having thrown a cuspidor at him, from the best account to be learned and from the statement of an eye wit ness.
 It seems that the son was intox- icated and had threatened the life of his sister Mrs. B. H. Mahony, in fact had ran her out of the store and she was hiding from him when the shooting which took place in the residence occurred.
 The deceased was about s years of age and had recently returned from Mexico where he had been following his trade as a printer.
 Judge E. 0. Mahony of Fl Dora do had been phoned to during the day to come to Felsenthal and try to talk to the young man but arrived after the killing.
 Sheriff Fin Craig, Prosecuting Attorney J. K. Mahony and Coron- CT r. M. Barton arrived in Felsen- thai by automobile during the night and a preliminary investigation is being held as we go to press.

One splendid thing the income tlx does is to make people stop dragging about their big incomes. For instance, T. H. Ince, the movie manager, comes out in newspaper rticle saying that he pays w. s. Hart, one of his actors, 5000 week. Evidently they forgot about the tax man when they put out this assertion. Probably the state ment is false, for it is usual for the movie folks to multiply their sala- riss by 10, 20 or 100. But Uncle Sam will call their hand this time. MT. Hart will be asked to pay tax oa an income of $26o,ooo year, then we shall see where he gets off. All others who indulge in big talk about their income will be. handled in the same way, and they will either have to put up or shut up.

Increased grain and livestock production is essential in the pres ent national emergency, and this is the time for the farmers to erect suitable hog houses, and to- protect farm implements, as we'll as the erection of granaries and other farm structures on model lines. This is the first step towards pre- venting waste, the preservation of a crop once harvested.

Sour Stomach.

This is a mild form of indigestion
1t is usually brought on by eating too
rapidly or too much, or of food not
suited to your digestive organs. If you
will eat slowly, masticate your food
thoroughly, eat but little meat and
none at all for supper, you will more
than likely avoid the sour stomach
without taking any medicine whatever.
When you have sour stomach take
one of Chamberlain's Tablets to aid
digestion.
