AMERICAN GUNS
 WITH 28-MILE RANGE
 HELPED WIN WAR

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Lieut.- Com maider w. L. Cathcart, in paper read before the American Society of Mechanical Engineers on the theme, Why Sea Powers Won the War" said that during the last three months day and night seven American sol diers, their equipment and mainten
 ace for them, arrived in France. En- gineering, he declared, may claim one of the most brilliant achieve ments of the war in the battery of 14-inch high-powered naval guns, hay ing range-28 miles greater than any other guns in France, and are mounted on railway cars, with which Rear Admiral Plunkett cut the main artery of the German retreat. Re counting the achievements of the electroical division of the Navy, the speaker told of the achievements of and development of certain anti. submarine devices, which are of a confidential nature. These submar- inc detectors have been made in a great quantity. A comprehensive study was made of all noises made by the engine and wings of an air plane in flight From the results a scheme of sound ranging on enemy airplanes was devised and the neces- sary instruments designed and made.

How the Order Assisted in the Wind-sWept Plains Among the Sheep
 People.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 26. While the general public is fair ly familiar with the campaign be- ing waged in the larger cities against the epidemic of Spanish influenza, they know little about the desperate battles which are be- ing fought by the Red Cross in dreary and isolated regions far from railroad lines and communica- tion of any kind. Red Cross nurses have answered the call for action in the windswept, isouations of sage brush and sand, or penetrated into the bleak hill country with the thermometer at below the zero point. In barren little shanties miles from any town they have min- istered, and are ministering, to fam lilies where every member was des- perateIy sick; where there are no doctors, no medicines, nothing but the pluck and courage of the nurse sent to relieve the situation.

ATTENTION IS
 CALLED TO THE
 ALASKA WATERS
Growing Commercial Im- portance Pointed Out without Any Survey
 of Waters.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The re- port of the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey to the Secretary of Commerce, in part, says:
 Attention is called to the fact that there are waters of coming commercial importance along the coasts of Alaska where absolutely no surveys have been made, and that the surveys of the waters of California, Oregan, and Washington have never ben properly completed These surveys cannot be prosecuted more vigorously because the ves- sells of the bureau for making them are not sufficient in number, and those that are available are not stanch enough for all classes of work. By statistical comparison of the areas surveyed in one year

SALMON INDUSTRY IS BIG PROBLEM
 FOR WASHINGTON

SEATTLE, Dec 24.-One of the big problems of after-the-war reconstruc, tiOnists in the State of Washington will be the rebuilding Of the salmon industry, according to State Fish Commissioner L. H. Darwin.
 MT. Darwin pointed out the other day that the demands of war had constituted a serious drain upon the salmon supply of these waters, and that new fishing laws would be nec- essary to prevent less intensive fish ing for a time. Among the laws he will propose to the State Legislature, he announced recently, was one for bidding aliens and alien corporations from holding fishing rights in Wash ingtOn.

are received from the nurse, the machinery of the Red Cross instant ly is put in operation to rush what ever is called for in the way of food, medicines. clothing and help. There is no red tape. The Pacific division will rush the materials in to Northwestern Division territory if by so doing it can the quicker reach it's destination, and vice yer Sa.
 "Get stuff in here before we are showed in," is the characteristic telegram from a Red Cross nurse to the Pacific division headquarters. Then followed a detailed report of the condition. In part it read:
 "This is sheep country (people and product) The sick are families of poor sheep hderers-in miserable cabins scattered about in most in- conceivable places, house to hill, and from twelve to fifty miles apart. One of our nurses goes every other day "A miles to a family of seven, all down. On her first visit she found nothing to work with not even food for the babies. The case is typical in all save size of family.
 Hope the relief nurses you send can work out doors in below zero cold, fetch wood and water, dispose of refuse, etc., and they must come warmly clad"
 How the Red Cross nurses promptly take the situation in hand and turn chaos into order, and mis- cry into a semblance of comfort, is attestcd by the deep gratitude of those to whom they minister. The report read:
 "The utter helplessness and need of these people would dissolve wooden image to tear, or melt the very Kaiser to pity. Some day l hope to tell you of the sublime con- fldence these isolated folks have in the Red Cross"
 In the particular instance cited here, the Pacific Division of the Red Cross rushed to the nearest railroad point, and from thence by automobiles over desert roads and trails the following articles in

by the present fleet of surveying vessels and the areas yet to be surveyed it is shown how long with the present rate of progress it will take to complete these surveys.
 Another need of the bureau that of Government-owned launches for prOpelling wire-drag surveying ap- Earatus. A lay exposition is made of the principles of the wire-drag survey The power launches used in the past have been rented and it is shown that this is an extrava- aant process in that the launches are secured at the time when they afford the greatest returns to their owners in carrying on the fishing industry and therefore the Govern ment must pay a high rental, be- sides making alterations to fit the launches for surveying purposes.
 Much difficulty has been exper- fenced in the past by the bureau in securing and retaining compe- tent and experienced seamen for the surveying vessels of the bureau. It is asserted that this is due more from the uninviting quarters of the vessels of the bureau and from the fact that the appropriations for the pay of seamen are not sufficient to provide standard wage than from any other cause. Another difficulty is that as the surveying vessels are in the field but a portion of each year this necessitates that the crews be laid off at the conclusion of the surveying season and that new

excellent results the efforts Of the
Germans to overcome its effective
