WAR BALLOON EXHIBITION
PROMISES THRILLS AT FAIR

The Kentucky State Fair manage
ment is unable TO state definitely as
yet that an exhibition of balloon
flights and parachute drops will be an
Unprecedented attraction at the Ken
lucky State Fair the week OF Septem-
Der S-l3, but there is every indication
that the Government will sanction the
showing which will be one of the most
interesting the Fair has ever pre-
sented
II is the plan and plea of the State
Fair management that the 3lst u. =.
Balloon Company be stationed on the
grounds during the Fair and IL this
request is granted the entire company
will figure in balloon ascensions, para
chute drops and balloon flights which
will give sensational illustration Of
wartime maneuvers in the air.
Among the sky vessels" will be the
great Sausage Balloons" used in OBJ
seryatlon work during the war, and the
dirigible balloon will also be an at
traction of unusual interest by reason
of the fact that there are few pilots In
civilian life who can manage them and
they are therefore seldom ON exhibi-
tion. Public attention will center on
this balloon 1t is said, by reason of
their enormous Size and their adapta.
bility TO maneuyerng, bombing, etc.
But the attention ana interest of the
crowds will undoubtedly center on the
mammoth captive balloons In which
passengers may daily soar clopdward

vance OF the method of travel pre-
dicted as common carrier in the near

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 14inch guns, - Of which
are mounted on Admiral Hugh Rod
mans fiugship. the New Mexico, and
several other ships Of the feet.
Design and construction Of the IA
inch naval gun on railway mountinrs
on the western front was one Of the
great accomplishments Of the Ameri-
can navy during the war. The guns
hurled l,40O-pound projecties far be-
hind the German lines. and were a
strong factor IN reducing the st.
Mihiel salient.
Built n Record Time.
The gun was designed. built and de-
livered in less than four months. On

retary Daniels official report. not a

or 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 Il was recon-
mended they be mounted for land serv-
ice.
The guns were mounted on car
riaces which could he 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 i'm an hour.
Greatest Range Of Mobile Guns.
The l4inchers had greater range
than any gun ever before placed on
mobile mountngs. The German guns
which fired on Paris were freaks
They were built on permanent steel
/ and concrete foundations. Their pro

for long flight. This reduced their eff

Devlin Assails Sim Fein Policy.
London, Aug. 1S.-John Devlin, ma
tionalist member of parliament for
Belfast, addressing a meeting of ma
| tiOnaliStS at Blackrock, near Drog-
heda. Ireland. made an appeal for the
old nationalist policy as against the
Sim Fen policy in the matter of alb
stention from attendance upon the ses-
sions of parliament.
Mr.. Devlin cOntended that the pres
ence of the eighty Irish members at
Westminster during the peace confer
ence would have changed Ireland's
fate, because every voice raised for
freedom in the house of commons re
Sponded through two hemsphcres."
The natioualists, Mr.. Devlin con-
tinued, had given the Sim Feiners fair
play. but in the future must show
whether the old policy, so fruitful of
results. or the new policy, so prolific
in promises, was the better for Ireland.

some Of the best work Of her screen
career. That this production is to
be seen at the Colonial theatre this
afternoon is cause Of the greatest
satisfaction among Augusta movie
fans because it means they are to
have an opportunity of seeing a play
about which they have been reading
for long time.
The story is about a girl who. after
having spent most of her life in a
fast cafe and two years in a re-
forma tory. offers herself TO a wealthy
New Yorker in exchange for clothes
and the luxuries Of life. Much to her
surprise, he marries her. She calls
herself mis- probation wife. The
term Of probation does not last long
when love enters their life. 4.
The Probation Wife" is the kind of
a picture that will appeal to ali
classes. 1t is human Story about a
very human girl. Norma Talmadge
is given an opportunity in this pic
ture to display that originality and
versatility for which she has become
famous. She gives 10 Mowbray
three distinct characterizations. We
see her as an inmate of a cabaret
dive. then in reformatory. and
lastly as the wife Of a wealthy New
Yorker. Miss Talmadge plainly
shows you the growth Of the heart
and soul of the girl who did not have
fair chance.
