Eia Coffee.

The use of feigen kaffee or "fig cof-
fee had its birth in Austria-Hungary
about half century ago. Thence it
spread in Germany and the Balkans.
1t has been used in France for the last
ten years, especially during the war,
found in stock in many groceries. In
the year 1908 dried figs, destined to be
roasted, came mostly from the vicin-
fifty of Smyrna. Subsequent to num-
ber of poor crops in Asia Minor the
Austrian dealers gave orders to pro-
ducers in the south of France and In

anfidships, in the boiler room, and
there was a muffled crash, which told
every one what had happened.
That German submarine endeavor-
ed to attack the destroyers while the
latter were engaged in rescue work is
the statement made by an American
officer at another Irish port where a
large number of men were landed. The
officer said to a correspondent.
"The thing that somehow impressed
me most in the whole experience was
the promptitude and precision with
which the British men handled their
craft under the trying conditions of
rescue work. This work had only just
begun when there came the most ex-
citing moments of the night.
"A U-boat from the curtain of black
ness behind which she was skulking
thought to finish the work by an at
tack on the destroyers. Three tor
pedoes were discharged in a few min
utes at three destroyers and it was
only due to the watchfulness of the
lookouts and the splendid seamanship
of the British Naval men that they
failed to reach their targets.
This onslaught, however. revealed
the approximate location of the enemy
and pair of destroyers at once at
tackled with guns and bombs so effec-
lively that even if the U-boat was not
sunk it was afraid to show itself
again"
Troops Cool in Crisis.
Press stories tell of the cool be-
havior of the troops, some of them
partially trained boys who lined the
rails singing national airs.
To the absence of confusion and
the fact that the vessel remained
atoat for about two hours in a calm
sea is attributed the small loss of life.
The Tuscania was a part of large
convoy and Immediately relief was
at hand.
Sunk BY Chance Shot.
Navy officials are inclined to the
view that this is an isolated case and
have no reason to change their view
that the submarine menace has been
overcome.
Many devices enter into the battle
against the U-boats, some of which
have been evolved by American in
ventors. Others have been greatly
improved since the United States
entered the war, and the detection
apparatus now installed on American
craft is so successful that British
craft are being similarly equipped.
U. S. Craft Feared.
There have been indications that
the U-boats have learned to fear this
ability of American craft to locate
them at q distance and -maneuver to
bring the submerged vessel within
range of a depth bomb. With a de-
stroyer in the vicinity, the under-wa-

Raise Shaft For
Pioneer Preacher
Black Hills Pays Honor to First "sky
Pilot."-RecaIls Tragic Fate of
"Preacher Smith,

Deadwood, S. D.-The dedication Of
monument to the Rev. Henry Weston
Smith. the fir. "sky pilot" to enter
the Black Hills after the discovery of
gold, recalls one of the most pictur-
esque characters of the early days of
the west.
Preacher" Smith, as he was famil-
iarly called by the miners and other
early day residents of the Black Hills,
brought the gospel to the Bl; ok Hills
at time when the region contained
the widest and most lawless mining
camps on the American continent.
Facing perils unknown to the ordinary
circuit riders, the Rev. Mr.. Smith fear
lessly braved the dangers from war
like Sioux Indians and the equally
fierce road agents and other lawless
elements among the whites.
He was shot and killed by a war
party of Sioux ON Sunday, Aug. 20,
1875, on the old road between Dead.
wood and Crook City, little over
mile from the site where the monu-
ment has been erected.
The Black Hills were then a part
of the great Sioux Reservation. The
Indian war which was in progress at
the time preacher Smith was killed,
was caused by the invasion of the
Black Hills by the gold seekers, in
violation of the treaty made between
the Indians and the government at
the close Of the Minnesota uprising in
1862.
On June 26, 1876, less than two
months before the murder of "Preach
er" Smith, occurred the Custer mas
sacre in the battle of the Little Big
Horn River, in Montana.
/ After the massacre, the Indian army
dissolved, few of the Indians under
Sitting Bull crossing into Canada,
while the greater number broke up
into small bands and returned to the
vicinity of their reservations, east and
south of the Black Hills. 1t was then
the pioneers of the Black Hills were
called upon to protect themselves
from these marauding bands, hardly a
day passing that there was not an
Indian scare in the foothills and val
leys. No less than twenty pioneers
were killed.
Preacher" Smith was waylaid by
the raiders while on his way to hold
services at Crook City. He was MAX
ing the journey alone and was un.
armed.

us. HAS NEW TYPE
OF GUN THAT HALTS
TANKS INAFLASH

United States erdnasee factories
are now producing an improved type
OF the thirty-ssven miliimeter French
cannon which win prove the undoing
OF the, German tank, according TO
srtillerists who have seen tests OF
the new weapon.
The new gun will FIRE sixty one
pound shells or twenty-five aimed
shots a minute. A variety OF shells
are being made, the most successful
being an armor-piereinE shell and an
explosive shell.
One OF the chief advantages % the
new gun is Its mobility and the fact
that 1t can be used from the IRE
trenches OF a first line system. The
gun weighs about T5 pounds, inciud-
ing the mounting. It is therefore
possible, in an attack, for two men to
carry the cannon, and two or three
men to carry the mount. MoEeover,
the weapon can be assembled 50
rapidly that, during a barrage II can
be dismounted and hidden IN a dug
out, yet placed in action between the
time the offensive barrage lifts and
the attacking forces reach the i'd
vance posts.
The feature Of the gun which makes
Il OF far greater value than the Stokes
mortar. which has proved one Of the
best rapid IRE guns in the war. Is the
fact that the thirty-seven millimeter
gun has a low Trajectory, even at a
range Of 1900 meters. Moreover. Il Is
so accurate that its she'll can be easily
placed In looPholes OF the enemy's
cement pill boxes, three shots usually
sufhciRg to put the Pill box out Of
action. .-- -'
Already the gun has been used
against the German tanks and has
demonstrated that il can stop them
with q few well-placed shots. Il is
Understood that the gun can also be
mounted on some OF the largsr-type
airplanes.
