THE KINGS ENGLISH.

While scanning the columns of a New Haven morning newspaper, our attention was attracted by 8 head line reading as follows: "Yale Vic~ tor in Annual Debate" Having always been an ardent supporter of the New Haven University, we reJoiced at the news that both Princeton and liar ward had succumbed to the Blue in their annual debates. We had learned some days ago that the subject for debate between Yale and her op- ponents was to be: Resolved, That the government in financing the war in the future should obtain g. larger percentage of it's funds from taxes rather than from bonds,'' with Yale upholding the negative side of the question at home against Harvard while her debaters took the affirmative at Princeton. Therefore we antici- pated 8 great deal of pleasure in an account of the debates which not only had as their subject a topic of
 
 this time but which also would fur rish the debaters with rare oppor tunities to display their rhetorical and literary talents. But alas! Our hopes were doomed Our eyes could not get past the ''bank' or sub head, for there we read withs horror and amazement the startling statement: "Haryard and Princeton Both Wal loped by Young Men of the Blue" WArLOPED! We shuddered at the thought that the debate had possibly ended in a. riot and we dared not read further for fear of learning that the staid and sober Yale debaters , had routed their rivals with chairs, ! books and other missiles, instead of { with academic arguments. Finally, 1 however, we took 8 long breath, and, prepared for the worst. we glanced at 1 the article proper. To our great re- l lief we found nothing to confirm our 1 fears. In fact the debates occurred 1 just as in former years without the ] SlghteS friction Of any Kind.
 l How then could that awful word "walloped" have crept into an ac- l count of classic debate between ] representatives of our foremost uni ] versities? Try as we could. 1t was 1 impossible for us to understand how such a term, reekng of fisticuffs brawls and the like could have been l applied in such an instance by a con- temporary located almost in the l shadows of Yales very halls. But l like a flash it dawned upon us. The

FACTS ABOUT THE AMERICAN NAVY

It's dark under the gun, and dirty. But most Of all it's dangerous.
 A turret gun, I mean. Turrets, you know are the huge steel houses in which live the battleship's great guns, But the turrets are only about 25 feet from front door to back, so the 65 foot gun sticks away out in front. It's back end balances over a deep hole inside the turret in which sit men. two or three men, This hole is called the pit
 When the gun IS going to be loaded the pitlnen stand up. Not all the way up, because the guns breech and recoil cylinders are just over load. The men must crouch
 Under their feet is small trap door. In some of the turrets this door is to one side. Makes no differ ence though for it's what comes through this door that counts. A bag comes through, d bag weighing over 90 pounds. This bag is filled with smokeless powder and is followed im-
 mediately by three other bags, mak- ing full charge.
 When the turret officer shouts ''load" his dozen gunners seem inn
 nediatefy to break into riot. Real y they are obeying with all the keen precision of an efficiency experts rules. By electric motors and steel cables they hoist half-ton shell out of the ships hold. An invisible trig- ger releases the shell and it rolls 3 awkwardly into a trough leading to the guns Eawning breech,

 While the shell hesitates mo- ment in the trough a dull humping is heard and for a few moments re- sounds under the gun. It is the bags -ponderous bags.
 But before the bags appear a long 1 lean arm darts out and along the trough At the arms end is a clenched fist. steel mailed fist The arm Is 16 feet long, of metal links, and its fist Is solid. Its official nam @
