MOTHERS FOR FOE DEFEAT
Unconditional Surrender of Germany
Demanded in Resolution.


Evansville, Ind, Sept. 2O-"Uncon-
tiOnal surrender" is demanded Of the
German nation In a resolution sent by
the War Mothers of America, holding
their first national convention here, to
President Wilson, General Pershing
and the American expeditionary forces
In France. The resolution reads:
Millions Of war mothers of Amer
lea, represented in national conven-
ton, stand loyalty behind you in your
desire to make no peace until Ger
many and her allies surrender uncon-
ditionally."
President Wilson sent the following
telegram to the War Mothers Of
America, in convention here:
ITO the War Mothers of America
the heart of the whole nation goes
out in pride and deep sympathy; SYM
pathy because of the supreme sacri-
flee they have made, and in pride be-
cause Of the superb courage with
which these sacrifices nave been ac-
cepted. Their sons are making Amer
lea loved and honored wherever men
love freedom and respect Justice.
Their heroism and sacrifices will make
the whole world happy and safer
home for the wives and mothers Of
brave men Il the days to come. Flu
ture generations will rise up and call
these men blessed. Please accept my
personal homage Of respect and graft

FIREARMS AH.11 MI FRAGILE
shotgun Properly C1red For is Said to
Be Good for Hundred
Thousand Shots.

A question frequently asked is. GLOW
long will my shotgun last?" or "How
many shots can fire from my rifle or
revolver before it wears out?"
1t is impossible for anyone to say
just how long a firearm will last, be-
cause it is impossible to tell before.
hand what kind of care it is going to
get, and the care it receives makes all
the difference between few hundred
shots and u lifetime of faithful service
Assuming that they are cleaned care
fully and consistently good shotgun
will show practically no falling off in
pattern or penetration for probably
well over 100000 shots. A 22-caliber
rifle and revolver are both good for
10000 or 10000 shots A high-pOwer
rifle is good for about 5000 to 5000
shots, usually the higher the velocity
the shorter the life of the barrel.
Judging from these facts it would
appear that the higher the pressure
developed by the explosion the more
wear on the barrel, for the shotgun de-
velops the least pressure and the high
power rifle the most.
A rather interesting sidelight on this
question of barrel life is a determina-
ton of the actual length of time to
which a good shotgun barrel is sub
jected to the force and burning effect
of the powder charge during it's life
time. If 100000 shots are fired from a
shotgun the inside of the barrel is ac-
tually exposed to the flame of the
powder charge for about four minutes.
