ANSWERS TO NIMRODS
Question: Is there much interest

be the war effect on this line of
sport? JAMES MURTAUGH.

Answer There was a marked in

war in Great Britain. Many clubs
had been organized and they were
making rapid progress toward ac-
curacy, having abandoned the fall
lacious idea of two shots at every
target, based upon the practice nee
essary. for their hedge shooting"
Shanghai, China, has three active
gun clubs, they shoot once q week
and have made some passible scores

DEATH

Shortly before the war broke out.
but when a war was regarded as
imminent If not inevitable, the man
who had inaugurated n revolution
in the worlds motive power likely
to be as important as that achieved
by Watt, left Germany for England.
But he never arrived.
DR.. Rudolf Diesel took passage at
Antwerp on the Channel steamer
Dresden the night of September
29, 1918. When the vessel arrived
ut Harwich next morning he was
missing and the annual meeting of
the Consolidated Diesel Engine
Manufacturers at London, which he
was to attend on the following day,
was held without him! So much the
world knows. Everything else is
speculation.
Theories of Disappearance
Naturally speculation has been
abundant. Diesers disappearance
has given rise to as many wild
theories as Kitchener's. These
theories, such of them as ! have
happened to hear of, may be classi-
fed in the following way:
Accidentally Tell oVerDoaru ana

Seized by heart disease and fell

Pushed overheard by German
agents.
Kidnapped by German agents.
Alive and in the service OF Bri-
tish government.
Jumped overheard because OF
mental breakdown due to insomnia,
| financial worries. domestic troubles
or lack of proper appreciation. y
The reader may take MS cnoice
of these nine hypotheses, for there
is no proof of any of them, and there
is evidence against all of them. One
other point must be mentioned
though 1t adds to the mystery In
