Sergeant Hallwood, who came up

prisoners, but 0 'Rourke says no; he had
work for them to do.
He turned the pill box into hospital

FACTS ABOUT THE.. AMERICAN NAVY
 FTTzHUGE GREEN U. s.
Monitors

Monitors are land batteries aaoat. Monitors look like sea-goinG pam cakes with g. batter gob on top. Tech nically a monitor consists of q heaV~ fly arn1ored hull on which squats d deck house and two gun coops. The deck house provides quarters for crew and officers, and can be completely shot away without materially reducing the military value of the vessel. As a lodging her utility would be greatly reduced by any such disaster.
 The gun-coops or turrets are dis trihuted fore and aft if two in num- Der. When there are four the deck is often considered rectangular and one Is built at each corner, Gun GOODS cannot easily be shot away. They wouldn't pe turrets if they could Because a turret is an inn pregnalple steel fortress behind which naval crews tend their guns. It's steel walls are always designed to be mite more powerful than the latest and largest guns.
 Strategically monitors are coastal units. AS gun platforms they roll too much for deep sea work. Tn and
 
 protected waters, they can achieNo that which lies out of range of land defenses. Tn offensive naneuvers they havo occasionally Outdone even the drea dnaughts
 Official Italian reports describe use of monitors against Trieste, the main objective of the early Italian offensive. These hybrid battleships were able to approach in the night and by virtue of shallow draft to get we'll within range of the city. On opening fire there was revealed naval secret of long standing: the newest monitors mounted heavier gums than had ever before been used on the sea.
 Austrian forts replied vigorously. But not only did the strange craft present smaller targets; but, as l have explained. their vftals were deeper and better protected even than a submarines. Both the Eng fish and the Italian monitors came away unscathed after a successful bonn bardnrent-
 It is an interesting phase of our own naval development that since the Sra nish Am erican war little value has been attached to low-speed crabs Possibly this attitude grew out of the tactical error by which Sampso71's fleet was forced to cruise at about four knots in order that monitors might keep up.
 No doubt the type will return. It can carry heavier guns and ar1nor than we dare put on battjeshlTs. Not that the big ship couldn't maftaese the weight: but it wouldn't DC Tn keepine with her speed and her op- ,ortunitics for insh ore work.
 A 60O0-ton monitor with lmpene- +ra;},lc armor will be slow. Her 20 inch guns might require the dogged attention and up-keep of almost con- stant Navy yard repair, Yet critical siege of the countrys vital seaports coa1ld draw from monitor suuadrons an element of defense-or offense--.
