MACHINE Gun is

OF WAR WEAPONS

London, May 17-"Of all the weap-
ons used in the present war, the ma
chine-gun has unqHestionably proved
itself the most efficient" says a Brit
ish expert in the Daily Mail. Prob
ably a majority of the casualties IN
the war have been caused by this
weapon; certainly the greater pro-
portion of the enormous losses during
the fighting of the past few weeks
have been SO inflicted.
"Any type of machine gun in the
hands of a skilfu1 operator has tha

moving in mass formation that a keen

ed wheat. 1t cuts broad sWathes;

seconds. Meanwhile other men are
hard at work filing trays and passing
them on for use. The gun has al
effective range of about 1900 yards
and can be fired from either a stand
or a parapet, the gunner placing the

May ask space for a few words
Of comment on recent speech of
Senator Brandegee.
That Mr.. Brandegee is opposed to
woman suffrage as he is to practically
all progressive legislation, has been
well known to his constituents. Many
have deplored his Bourbon tendencies,
but there has been a certain respect
for the outspoken frankness of his
position. But the recent manner of
/ his opposition to all liberal measures
creates a situation which should not
be ignored by Connecticut citizens. 1t
would seem as if these four years Of
desperate war for justice, and espe-
cially now the thought of our own
men, carrying our hopes and faith in
to the trenches, might sobereven poll
ticians into some realization of the
gravity and dignity of the struggle,
but the manner of Mr.. Brandegee's
speeches is habituaIly either violent or
fiippant- The following quotations
are a fair sample Of the style of the
man who, to a certain extent, carries
.Connecticut's good name in Washing
ton.
II have no partisanship in this war.
They can take my property; they can
take my life. They are taking the
lives of the men they draft into the
army, and they can have my life.

only one death to die, and know of

my life than in standing against this

civilization. But, my God, I'm a free

this floor has any, partisan tinge tc
