PACIFIC FLEET
HAS BIC GUNS
Powerful 14-Inch Batteries For
midabIe Feature of West.
ern Squadron.
DID GREAT SERVICE IN war
Big Naval Guns Mounted on Railway
Carriages Were Strong Factor In
Reducing the st. MihieI
Sector.

San Francisco, Cal.-Not the least
interesting feature of the new Pacific
fleet is the 14-inch guns. II of which
are mounted on Admiral Hugh Rod
mans flagship, the New Mexico, and
several other ships of the fleet.
Design and construction of the II
inch naval gun on railway mOuntings
on the western front was one of the
great accomplishments of the Ameri
can navy during the war. The guns
hurled 1,400-pound projectiles far be-
hind the German lines. and were
strong factor in reducing the st.
Mihiel salient.
Built in Record Time.
The gun was designed, built and de-
livered In less than four months. On
December 26, 1917, according to Sec
rotary Daniels official report, not
drawing had been started. On April
%, 1918, completed gun was rolled
on its own wheels to Sandy Hook prov
ing grounds for long-range tests.
The guns. Secretary Daniels said,
originally were intended for the new
battle cruisers, but change in design
of the vessels made the guns avail
able for other use, and 1t was recon-
mended they be mounted for land serv-
ice.
The guns were mounted on car
riages which could be moved freely
over the French railroads. With them
went their naval crews. Twelve cars
were required for each gun-machine
shop cars, armOred ammunition cars,
kitchen, berthing, crane and wireless
cars. The batteries were sufficiently
mobile that If an order came to move
while in action, they could be on their
way in an hour.
Greatest Range of Mobile Guns.
The 14-inchers had greater range
than any gun ever before placed on
mobile mOuntings. The German guns
which fired on Paris were freaks"
| They We're built on permanent steel
| and concrete foundations. Their pro-
| iectile was small and specially built
| for long flight This reduced their eff
| ficiency and while they had moral eff
| feet. their military value was small.
| Because of their permanent position
their location was discovered by allied
aviatOrs and the guns silenced.
The German 15-inch gun In Elan
ders also became famous for its long
range bombardment of Dunkirk and
other allied bases, but neither could
be shifted from base to base without
| delay Of weeks. The American IA
inch gun could move from one end
OF France to another and had range
of 30 miles. At range Of $4,000 yards
| It pierces armor successfully.

HARD TO SAVE IN BOLIVIA
South American Salaries Are Higher,
But Also Living Cost, Writes
Youth.

Santa Fe, N. M.-Saving money Is a
much harder task in South America
than In the United States, despite the
higher salaries paid there, says Eu-
gene Lujan Of Santa Fe, who recently
resigned his position as clerk Of the
American legation at La Paz, Bolivia.
In letter to his father young Luz
jan points out that, though one can
earn more In South America than in
North America, the cost of living Is
higher. Shoes which sell for So I'm the
United States cost $12 I'm Bolivia.
Board and room amount to $50 a
month, laundry at least. So, and ev-
erything else in proportion.
although Spanish is the official Ian
guage," Lujan writes, there are many
dialects, for the population is consid-
erably mixed. We have Ayamaras,
who are pure Indians; the Cholos, or
half-breeds; the Bolivians, the Eng
lish, the French and the Germans"

ISSUE ODD STAMPS
PhiIatelists Are Enthusiastic Over
Latest Curi0S.
Small Nations Of Europe Resort to
Curious Experiment to Pro-
vide Postage Stamps.

London.-Stamp collectors, of which
London has Its full share, are enthu-
slastic over the curious postage stamps
which are beginning to. reach them
from the smaller European states.
One example from Lithuania Is of
the first permanent issue Of that coun-
try. 1t has been Autographed on
heavy Sllurian gray paper formerly
used for the printing Of bread tickets.
Lettland, Lithuania's neighbof, print
ed its first stamps on the backs of Ger
man ordnance maps, but these proved
little unwieldy and now its stamps
are printed on the fiimsiest of cigar
cite papers.
Czecho-Slovakia stamps recently re-
ceived here are simply the united
arms of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia
with the inscription "Ceska-Slovenska
Statni" printed on the Magyar stamps.
They were issued when the Czecho-
Slovak troops invaded Hungary.
The disputed port of Fiume has been
provided with striking series of pic
torial stamps, apparently In anticipa-
ton of an Italian mandate, for they
all bear the words "Fiume proclaima
L annessione all Italia" and the date
30-10-191S. The four designs include
the statue of Romulus and Remus fed
by the she-wolf, the piazza of st. Mark
and ancient Venetian galleon and the
portrait of DR.. Crossich.

TWO BOYS FIND LOST CAVE
Dropped Into a Hole, but Indians
Failed to Find 1t.

Two boys while hunting near ROM
bauer, Mo-, accidentally discovered a
cave, which Is believed TO be the "lost
cave" for which the Indians searched
for more than fifty years without sue
cess.
The boys were after rabbits and the
chase had gotten unusually exciting
when they felt the earth suddenly give
way under them on hill, and they
fell many feet into the newly made
hole. When they related the incident
It was remembered that the Indians
had searched the hills for the cave,
the opening of which was marked by
a rock with a turkey foot cut on IL
pointing to the opening. This rock
has been found near the cave.
1t is estimated that the cave is 300
years old, and evidently is not nat
ural one, but made for some purpose
yet to be discovered. Two men spent
three hours exploring numerous huge
rooms and estimated they had gone q
mile and half without getting to the
end Of ii.

SAVES BOTTLE OF TEA
Man Hit by Train Gives Undertaken
the LAUGH.

After being struck by fast ex-
press train and thrown down 25-foot
embankment at Quincy, Mass, Rotnan
Comes, an employee of the New Ha-
ven railroad, laughed heartily at the
undertaken and crowd who rushed to
his assistance with stretchers, and
calmly went back to his work replac-
ing railroad ties.
Comes failed to hear the train. The
engine struck him a glancing blow, as
the engineer jammed On the brakes,
and Rotnan, eyeglasses on his face and
a big bottle of tea In his trousers pock-
ct, went spinning down a 25-foot en-
bankment.
Solemnly the train crew wendell
their way back with an emergency
stretcher, and an undertaken who was
a passenger on the train was command
eered. But Rotnan was found brush
ing the dirt from the cork Of the cold
tea bottle.

8 "LAON INFORMERS" TO DIE
Three Others Are Condemned to
Death by Default In French
Court.

Paris.-Sentences were delivered In
the case known as the "Laon inform
ers" after a trial Of more than sixty
days.
OF the twenty-eight persons accused,
eight were condemned to death, two Of
them being women three others were
condemned to death by default. Six
were acquitted and the remainder re-
ceived sentences Of from one to twenty
years Imprisonment.
The charge against the accused was
denouncing compatriots to the German
authorities during the occupation Of
Laon. In many cases the hiding
places Of French soldiers, who had es-
capped the German advance, were point
ed out, with the result that a large
number Of soldiers were executed.

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE
DID GREAT SERVICE
Work During the War Gives Hea
Place in Times of
Peace.

Congress has given the nurse no
medals or honors as reward for her
war service. Two congressman, at
least, intend that she shall have Off
cial recognition in the national health
programs of peace.
Senator Owen of Oklahoma and Rep
resentative McDuffie of Alabama are
the two men who, by their promise to
the National Organization for Public
Health Nursing to include bureau OF
public health nursing In their bills
providing for a federal department or
health, have given evidence that they
realize the value of the nurse In con-
serving national health.
OF all the many classes OF woman
workers who rendered distinguished
service during the war none came
through with more credit than the pub
lie health nurse. While her sister, the
army nurse, was binding wounds be-
hind the battle lines In France, the
public health nurse fought the infiu-
enza epidemic at home-fought II with
an alert competence and a marvellous
devotion for which indeed, many of
them paid with their lives. Nor was
the influenza epidemic the only major
engagement" In which the public
health nurse deserved the honOrs of
war-even though she did not always
receive them. In the extra-cantonment
zone surrounding the great draft
camps, in city and country commune
ties deprived Of medical service by the
departure of their doctors for service
overseas-everywher these tireless
workers made themselves so invaluable
that Secretary of War Baker In re-
viewing the war experience declared
"The public health nurses, one of the
greatest forces in promoting national
health, are needed in greatly increased
numbers"
The present supply of public health
nurses Is entirely inadequate to meet
the vastly increased demand. Accord
ingly the National Organization for
Public Health Nursing has undertaken
a campaign to recruit more student
nurses into the public health nursing
field.
