II. $. NAVAL GUNS DEADLY
One Shell Enters Hut and of 100 Ger
 mans Only 40 Tags Found.

New York, Dec. 29-The story of the success of Americas land battery of 14-inch naval guns, as told by mem- bers of the gun crew themselves, was given to the public here today when copies of "The Big U", a newspaper printed on board the battleship Utah, were circulated on shore.
 It was the Utah's picked gun crew, the newspaper said, that was sen, ashore to "get" the German super gun which was shelling Paris. The gun was removed, it was said, before the batteries could get into action, but the navy men had the satisfac- tion of smashing away at the German line for several months before the armistice was signed.
 The shells fired by the naval guns, according to ."The Big U,' were al- most twice the size of those fired by the Germans supergun and were so powerful that on one occasion an ex- ploding smell hurled two loaded freight cars from track on the top of ilway station. Another shell landed in a hut where 100 Germans were watching motion picture show, and when american troops later reach ed the spot, 40 identification tags were all that could be found.
 Severe on the Guns.
 The naval guns habitually fired at a range of from 20 to 21 miles, the article said, and more than 800 rounds had been fired when the armistice was signed. It would have been necessary to remove the guns for refining within short time had not the ar mistice put an end to their work.
 "A number of holes made by our projectiles have since been visited" the article said.
 One was 20 feet in diameter and 15 feet deep, another 33 feet in aiam- eter and 12 feet deeu, -nd so on, de- pending on the character of the ground.

Mr.. Geo. NJ. Welch. General Manager
Of the Michigan State Telephone Com.
pany. declares that the increased rates
authorized by the Postmaster General
are needed To meet an emergency un-
paralelled In the history OF the Com
pany.
No dividends have been paid on the
common stock since 1915. From 1918
To 1918, inclusive. new business re-
curing added capital Increased the
revenue OF the Company 29.5% while
expenses, not including depreciation
nor interest charges. increased ss.S%.
II the Company had paid reason
able return on the investment for the
year 1918 II would have needed g..
s23,592 more than II did earn. AS q
matter OF fact II did not earn enough
to wholly take care OF its depreciation.
The General Manager calls atten-
ton to the problem in Michigan that
faced the Postmaster General when
the Government took over the opera
ton and direction OF the Telephone
lines last August. With a continuing
deficit increasing monthly because OF
the increasing costs OF materials and
labor. added revenue had 10 be OBJ
tanned In order to prevent the Gov
eminent from having to make up the
loss. For this reason an application
was made before the Michigan Rail-
x.,fa IN a
schedules. The rates asked for were
not claimed TO be adequate but IL was
thought that they would produce the
minimum amount with which the
Company could continue doing busi
ness and were so low and the amount
OF added revenue SO small that no one
could conscientiously challenge them.
Since that time costs have still further
advanced and conditions have changed
50 that the rates now authorized by
the Postmaster General will not meet
immediate needs.
Mr.. Welch says that for six years
there has been continued effort 70
adjust telephone rates In Michigan
Because OF rapidly changing condt
lions each schedule proposed has be-
come obsolete before the regulatory
bodies considering IL had finally pass
d upon II. While charges for all 9TH
or products and services have ad-
vancsd telephone rates have not In
creased although the cost OF furnish
irg service has been steadily going up.
With this change in rates the In
crease in charges for telephone SER
vice are not ~proportionately as great
as the increase In price for all other
commodities.

U. S. to Probe Entry of
De Valera and B0Lu1,d
Immigration Officials Will Take
Action Only if the Laos
Seem to Haze Been Broken
NeaU York Tribune
WdShin0t0n Burenn

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Action by
the Federal immigration officials
against the Sin Fein leader, De
Valera, if he appears in New York to-
morrow will not be taken until all in
formation as to the method he en-
ployed in entering the United States is
in hand, immigration officials declared
tonight. Confidence was expressed that
immigration inspectors operating un-
of immigration would make inquiries
in both the De Valera and Boland
cases.
The De Valera case has not been re-
ported to the Washington headquarters
of the immigration service, nor has any
complaint been made against Boland,
who announced the coming of the Irish
republic president.
"If De Valera is actually in the
United States and arrived here by
fraud" said one immigration official,
she undoubtedly will be amenable to
the immigration laws prohibiting the
entrance of certain aliens"
1t was explained that the depart
ment's policy with reference to for
eigners who come to this country as
members of ships crews is not hard
and fast rule. Sailors are permitted to
land and remain here for brief periods
if it is found that they intend to re-
turn abroad.
"Daily there are hundreds of foreign
ers who come to American ports and
are admitted on seamen's cards." said
one official, "and only in rare cases
does it develop that they fail to re-
ship. If Boland reached this country on
a seaman's card and does not reship
within a reasonable time it is likely
that some inquiry will be made by the
department to ascertain his intentions.
He is permitted, however, to seek pass
ports after arriving here or receive
from the consul Of his country approval
to remain"

war, and declared that they would no
longer obey the discipline of the
prison. This was deemed mutiny. The
men were then returned to their cells
which, at de Valera's order, they
wrecked.
This action brought an answer from
the British Home Office, and the men
were transferred to the convict prisons
OF Maidstone, Parkhurst and Portland
groups as they travelled through the
country, and as they reached their re-
sspective prisons they continued the
tight with unabated vigor
Finally Released
Finally England opened her prison
gates and the Irish Volunteers marched
out, free men!
DE Valera turned his attention to
the organization of the country. He
realized that Ireland must declare her
self ere the peace conference met. He
called a convention, consisting Of rep
resentatives from each parish in Ire
land. He laid before them the scheme
OF organization, the existing Sim Fein
organization providing the nucleus.
Thanks to the wonderful enthusiasm
OF the people and the manly prnci-
pies breaches by de Valera, the move
menu spread over ireland.
president de Valera was the only
man who could possibly unite the Sim
Fein movement, the Irish Volunteer or
ship each party was prepared to follow,
and in the great convention called by
him, after the Clare election, he had
behind him the solid strength of the
fighting men and the thinkers of Ire
land.
prior to the general election the
Sim Fein party held five Parliament
ary seats. At the general election Sim
Feln captured the country by over two
thirds majority. They now hold seven
ty-three seats.

"1n May, 1918. the British government
arrested and deported from Ireland

leaders in different parts of Ireland,
Included in the number were the

dent, Arthur Griffith, two honorary

mitted, correspondence was censored,
yet he managed to keep in communica-
tlon with the leaders of the movement
at home. He saw the peace conference
at work, and felt that some effort must
be made to present Iretand's claims be-
fore that body. He planned the escape,
and sent word of his plans to his col
leagues at home. Two men were sent
to aid him in the escape, and the world
knows how we'll it succeeded.
