There are many good reasons for
taking the finger prints of soldiers
and sailors. One of the reasons was
recently demonstrated. A sailor suf-
fering from aphasia, complete loss of
memory, was identified by means of
his finger prints on record at the
Navy Department and was informed
of his name and where he came from.

American Inventor Designs
Gun to Shoot 100 Miles

If wars demands make 1t necessary
to use guns of extraordinary range,
the United States could put one in
the field which would shoot protectile
weighing 100 tons and measuring $50
feet in length distance of 100 miles.
Writing of this gun, Charles Beeeher
BunnelI, the American who invented
it, says;
1.-THE rife is 375 feet long and weighs
39,277 tons without mountings. Ie
has bore of sixty inches. 1t throws
a shell 265 feet long, weighing 10O
tons, distance of seventy miles at
twenty degrees elevation, or 100 miles
at forty-fve degrees.
"Ten tons of powder in twenty-inch
prisms propel the shot, which en-
counters an atmospheric resistance at
the muzzle of 10.45 tons, which fades
off to zero at the first point of i'm"
pact Ignition Is reversed; the powder
commences to burn at the shells base
and works back to the breech plug, SO
| that the air is not filled with burning
powder grains, as is usually the case.
| "Fired point-blank, the shell travels
| twenty-one miles parallel with the
/ earth's curvature, which would permit
ehe shot to perforate two German fleets
| side by side. At a seventy -mile range,
the guns possible destructive area is
| 1886 square miles, at the 100-m1Ie
range, 81, 400 square miles.
/ IF this gun %ere using its seventy
| mile range and 1t were located at
SomerviIle, New Jersey, 1t would com"
mand New York City, Philadelphia,
| West Point, Mauch Chunk, Whining
ton, Del, and all the intervening coun-
i try. One gun on the Panama Canal
II would command both entrances with
! deadly accuracy"

DECORATIONS POWERFUL
INCENTIVE TO GALLANTRY,
| ACCORDING TO PERSHING

General Pershing wrote the follow
Ing recommendation in favor of the
passage of the measure by Congress
permitting American soldiers to accept
and wear French War Crosses and any
bther decorations our Allies wish to
confer on them for conspicuous brav-
cry:
Service of our troops with France
has already resulted in a number Of
cases of individual gallantry, Some
of these have been rewarded by eta
lions in orders by the French and
award of the Croix de Guerre, which
our soldiers are unable to accept Off
cially. Such recognition is very
powerful incentive to gallantry in &C
tion. A number Of our men have WOE
The Croix de Guerre in previous sery
Ice under the French and are not per
mitted to wear them since entering oul
army.
Both the French and British Gov
ernments would permit their troops tt
wear our campaign badges and weult
accept our decorations. There is M
good reason why we should not b.
empowered to bestow decorations OF
the French and British entitled t.
them, especially when serving along
side of our troops, and we should &C
cept theirs. Decorations carefully be
slowed would contribute to good fee
Ing and closer relations with on
allies"

WHEAT HARVEST
OF 90O,Oo0,ooo
BUSHELS HOPED
Large Crop in Middle West is
Expected to Counter Bal
ance Losses In Montana.

NEW YORK, July 16--Although the
mid-July estimates made by the gov
eminent experts of the aggregate mum
Der OF bushels of wheatswhich will be
harvested this year is disappointing,
nevertheless reports which have come
to New York since that estimate was
published justify the surmise that the
next government report may be more
encouraging. 1t may be that the far
mers will not harvest billion bushe Is
of wheat, but the chances are that,
unless weather conditions In the North.
west are unfavorable, as many as
900,000,000 bushels will be harvested
and perhaps many more.
The weather has not been entirely
favorable in some parts Of the country,
whereas in other wheat belts the eli
mate has been admirably suited, &C.
cordlng to reports received here, for
growth of high quality of wheat and
the garnering of more than an average
number of bushels an acre. But the
United States Is so large, its northern
wheat boundary reaching the Canad
ian line and It's southern including
parts of Texas, that it is almost in
conceivable that perfect crop weather
will prevail in every part Of the coun-
try in any one season.
John n. Rich, who Is Chairman and
Federal Reserve Agent Of the Ninth
Federal Reserve District, with head
quarters at Minneapolis, has sent to
New York a somewhat detailed report
of crop conditions in the Northwest
Mr.. Rich is in an especially favorable
position for securing accurate state,
ments from farmers of the Northwest
since as Federal Reserve Agent al
Minneapolis he is brought in touch
with the agricultural regions within
the boundaries of that district.
According to Mr.. Rich it is dry
weather especially in Montana and
North Dakota which has played havoc
with the grain crops. In June the re-
ports from Montana led to the. expec-
tation that the state would maintain
her position as one Of the leading
wheat producing states, but heat and
sun have played some havoc with Mon
tana's wheat production, as also with
that in parts of North Dakota.
On the other hand the promise is
excellent of large wheat harvest in
South Dakota, Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin. Therefore the belief prevails in
the Northwest that the losses due to
hot and dry weather in some sections
will not be great enough to prevent
the entire district from reaping as
large crop Of wheat as it ever has
grown.

French Children Beg Pennies

The following letter, written by
Lewis E.. Kinley. with the quarter
masters department. now In France,
has been received by Mrs. Clyde Alex
ander, his sister, who lives on the Ma
tional road east of the city:
Yesterday was long hard day. We
were up from 3 a. m. to II p. m. The
camps, of course, are not In the city
and are not very near, just as our
Americans are not, and we had anoth,
er few miles walk. The Quartermas
ters corps showed their old time pep
and were still going strong when
others fell out to rest. OF course we
don't have as heavy load as the
other organizations.
THE French people are very inter
esting and they were out to see us
along the streets, all sizes from babies
up to old men and women. They have
wonderful courage to smile and greet
the Yanks as they do. The kids are
continually begging for pennies and
cigarettes for mama and papa. They
are sweet little beggars with dark
hair and rosy cheeks. Not much
chance of bringing you one for l don't
think can ever explain to them what
