NEW STAR SHELL PERFECTED
American Efficiency in Might Fir
ing Greatly Increased.

WASHINGTON. Dec. THE fighting
efficiency OF the American navy at
night will be increased about % per
cent. by the perfection OF a star shell
operating at long range under all con-
ditions at sea. The new shell. which is
said to excel any produced by other
nations, and the history OF its de-
velopment is described in a statement
20. n'2k by the Navy Department.
- shell Is said to be suitable for
flr...e from guns OF from 10 inch
calibre ard is fitted with a parachute
attachment. The shell Is filled with
illuminating material guaranteed to
burn in spite OF the terrific rush Of air
1t meets when freed. The value Of the
shells lies. said the Navy Departments
statement. in illuminating tho naval
units of the enemy without disclosing
the position of tho craft using the
shell.
Experimental work TO develop such
a shell was started by the bureau of
ordnance Of the Navy Department in
1900.

RAILWAY PROBLEM
STIRS ALL BRITAIN
Eight Hour Day Adds Enor-

Already High.
CONTROL PLAN CHAOTIC
Cabinet Said to Have No
Scheme for Taking Over
the Roads.

LONDON, Dec. History is being
made SO swiftly In Great Britain that
almost every day produces new
chapter Of absorbing Importance. inc
Governments decision to give oil the
railway workers an eight hour day
was q surprise, because the puphc
had not realized that any agitation
was afoot. On the contrary 1t had
expected an attempt at a general set
tlement of the railway problems after
peace had been arranged.
The news that the Government had
decided to nationalist the railways
came only through a reply by Winston
Spencer Churchill to the question of
a heckler at an olectioneering speech.
The railways are not In Mr.. Churchilps
depa rtment and no other member OF
the Cabinet has confirmed his state
ment. Experts assert, however, that

been decided upon. the eight hour day
would force its adoption. For the Gov

The Times estimates the country's
new railway wages bill at $3.50, 000,-
600, items OF which are the pre-war
wages OF s235.OOO.o0o, bonuses s175.-
100000 and the cost OF the eight hour
day S125,000,O0o.
II 10 not known whether Govern
ment control or ownership is the Cab
inet's intention. but 1t Is doubtful
whether the railways can make both
ends meet under either system. The
Government has on its hands a rail-
way system admittedly greatly over
capitalized, with equipment greatly
deprecated and all expenses enor-
mously increased. There is also a
strong demand from the working
classes and business men for a reduc-
ton OF charges to the pre-war level.
The war increase OF passenger fares

suggests that wages could or should

WASHINGTON. Dec. 7.--Postmlster-
General Burleson took a concluding
fling at Capt. b. b. Lipsner, former
superintendent Of the Aerial Mail Ser
vice, In a telegram to the Captain late
to-day. The General de-
clared that Lipsner's letter of resipna-
uon Is "a tissue OF misstatement"
ABOUT matters with which he Lipsner)
should have been fully conversant.
Inc PostmasterGeneral took excep-
lon to the clipping stating that new
air mail flying machine is being built
by the Post Office Department, and
continued: THE statement in your
letter designed to create the impress
sion that the Post Office Department
Is considering or authorizing extensive
alterations in military airplanes which
the War Department by direction OF
Secretary Baker has turned over and
is turning over to the Post Office De-
partment to be used in the Aerial Mail
Service, has no foundation except in
your Imagination"
The telegram went ON to say that
no changes are being made in the ma
chimes except to put on skis for win
ter landing and to make some altera-
lions in particular planes. all OF which
were recommended by Lipsner, and
concluded:
Your statement intimating that
novices lacking experience will be per-
mitted to interfere with the handling
of the Aerial Mail Service and It's
equipment is on a par with the other
statements in your communication.
The two officials, one in charge Of fly
ing operations and the other in charge
OF maintenance and equipment who
succeed you and will be directly in
charge OF the flying operations, are
aviators, which you are not, and have
had experience in field management
and supervision. which you had not
when you entered the service.
You state L wish to resign to keep
my record as first superintendent of
the Aerial Mail Service spotless.' You
were not the first superintendent Of
that service. The first superintendent
Of the Aerial Mail Service was Major
Reuben II. Fleet or the United States

New Orleans. August 3.-New high records were again made by cotton to- day, the market bulging strongly on the unfavorable showing of the govern fnent's weekly crop returns and on the war news of the day. The tendency was to react in the early trading. but later the demand became general and the in ouiry, was met by the scantiest Of of ferings October rose 154 points from the lowest levels, standing at it's best at 34 .24c a pound. the highest future quota ticn ever posted in this market.
 The opening decline was caused by ex- pectations that the weekly weather and crop returns would be favorable because of inc rains of the last few days. Selling was heavy on the first call and continued during the first hour of business, caus- ing a considerable volume of liquidation from recent buyers. Under the pressure the market fell 40 to 46 points. The weekly reports at 10 o'clock changed altogether the character of the trading. and the decline was quickly recovered. after which the market went to wide net advance by leaps and bounds. Late in the session prices were at their best. standing 112 to 116 points over yester- days close The finish of the day was at net gains of 112 to If points.
