ANARCHY AND CIVIL WAR BREAKS OUT IN HUN CAPITAL
AMERICAN GUNS
SHOOT 80 NILES
VIII lie Highcst-Powered Mobile
Land Artillery In World---SpoclaI
Mine-I0ading Plant

Washington, Jan. THE Amer
lean navy has designed. built, and is
now manning with bluejackets spe-
cially trained for land service, the
largest and most high-powered mo-
bile land artillery In the world" II
Is stated In the annual report OF the
secretary OF the navy recently issued.
The type OF gun referred to Is a
l4-inch callbre, hurls It's projectile
80 miles, and can be moved from
one end OF France to the other. on
specially designed railway cars on
which the guns are permanently
mounted. as easily as can fiold ar
tillery.
In comparing this type OF gun
with the German long-range freak"
guns which fired on Paris. the re-
port says: They 1.-THE German
guns) were built m permanent steel
and concrete foundations which
we're eventually sought out by allied
aeroplanes and the guns subsequent
ly silenced. The shells we're small
and specially built for long-range
flight. This fact reduced their mill
tary efficiency. The German long
range guns. while they had a certain
moral effect, we're without great
practical military value. The Amer
lean naval guns fire projectiles ap-
proximately seven times heavier
than the shells the Germans used
against Paris"
Other recent achievements OF the
navy department, as shown by the
report. include special mine load
Ing plant with capacity OF more
than 1000 mines a day. This plant
has been established near York
town. Va. About 1900 acres OF
land was needed for the enterprise.
In Brooklyn the navy department
has built what is said to be the larg-
est concrete storehouse in existence.
The navy has also installed In An
napolis the greatest high-power ra-
dio station in the world.

W|[LHAvE TOMAKEN NEW
LAWS FOR AIR SERVICE

London, Jan. There will be no
passenger or commercial airplane
service from England to any other
country until complete plans are
formulated for regulating and con-
trolling air traffic, says an official
OF the British air ministry. That
will be task, he said, fraught with
enormous difficulties.
ITO begin with" he pointed out,
there are no laws Of the air at
present, and to bring the air into
the commercial sphere without laws
would produce chaos. There would
be immediate trouble with the Gus
toms authorities of all nations. Ade-
quate legislation will have to be
framed to prevent contraband mer-
chandise being carried through the
air from one country to another.
There will have to be system
OF air customs, and that in itself
presents many problems. Then,
again, the unauthorized carrying Of
letters would bring in the postal au-
thorities.
ITO police the air presents other
difficulties. Try to imagine an Of
fender scudding away from an air
policeman, whose machine may be
the slower Of the two, and hiding
behind a cloud until everything was
clear.
IT'S a new world, and we's got
to make proper arrangements for
It."

WET-DRY SURVEY
There Are at Present 81 Dry States.
Temperance Makes Gain Dur
ing the Year 1918

Washington, Jan. IA survey OF
the wet and dry situation through
out the country Just completed by
the Methodist Board Of Temperance
shows that there are 2,546 dry coun-
ties and 351 wet counties. This ia
a dry gain for the year 1918 OF AGO
counties. During the year the drys
won statewide victories in Ohio,
Florida, Wyoming and Nevada, with
a recount pending in Minnesota.
They were defeated in Missouri and
California, but elected ratification
legislatures in both states. There
are at present 81 dry states, not in
Guiding Texas, where a state wide
prohibition law was held by the
state supreme court to be contrary
to the constitutional provision for
local option. At present, opening OF
saloons in that state is being pre-
vented by injunctions and refusal Of
the comptroller to grant licenses.
The probability is that the federal
constitutional prohibition amend
ment will be ratified before Febru-
ary 1, 1919. Fifteen states have al
ready approved the amendment.

WESTERN SOLDIERS
LEAD IN INTELLIGENCE

University of Oregon, Eugene,
Jan. THE level of intelligence of
the men of the Far West is higher
than that Of men of any other Sec
ton Of the United States, in the
opinion Of Captain R. H. Wheeler,
who returned yesterday to resume
his duties as professor of psychology
at the university. Captain Wheeler
has been conducting psychological
tests for 16 months at various army
training camps and in this time had
examined thousands of men from all
parts of the United States. He says
that the northeast ranks next to the
Far West, the Middle West follows,
and the Southeast is the lowest in
the intelligence OF its men.
A good education does not neces-
sariiy mean that man will rank
high in the mental tests, says DR..
Wheeler, for he has found that some
men who have not completed even
grammar school rank higher in the
tests than some college graduates.

brutality Of Bolsheviks

Warsaw, Saturday, Jan. 4.-The
names OF Wilma, Lemberg and Kiev
are being written in blood-red let
ters along the western frontier OF
Russia, and scores of smaller cities
lying between the cities also are be-
ing destroyed by the Bolsheviki. Ac-
cording to trustworthy reports
reaching Warsaw, the Bolsheviki are
adding the tortures OF the dark
ages to the customary horrors OF
guerrilla warfare.
The Poles are making a gallant
defense OF Lemberg with limited
means, but the Bolsheviki Ukrain-
ians, aided by German guns and
German gunners, slowly are destroy
ing the city. The beseigers are es-
timated to number $4,000.
Only few OF the civilian popula-
tion have been able to escape from
the city.
Polish troops are being aided in
the defense Of the city by many cit
izens OF Lemberg, including girls
and boys.
The archbishop of Lemberg is
authority for the statement that
girls taken prisoners by the beseig-
ers are outraged and tortured. The
archbishop says that the cruelties of
the Bolsheviki have no parallel in
modern history.
Kiev. the Ukrainian capital, is
rapidly getting into the hands of the
Bolshiviki.

TWO ITALIANS IN DARING FEAT THAT
RIVALS TALES IN ARABIAN NIGHTS

Rome, Dec. 15.-(Correspondence
OF the Associated Press) 1t was by
swimming into Pola harbor and
steering two small submarine mo-
tors towing bombs that two Italian
naval officers destroyed the Austrian
dreadnaught Viribus Units just be-
fore the signing of the armistice be-
tween Italy and Austria. The swim
mers were in the water nine hours
and had to penetrate four barriers
across the harbor entrance, two of
which were composed of steel sub
marine nets. After they had at
tached their bomb to the side of the
dreadnaught, they were captured
and taken on board the vessel and
were there when the warship was
blown up.
They escaped without injury and
have returned to Rome to tell of
their exploit which is characterized

Units had been destroyed by Ital-

made known, but now the details
have been given out by the Italian
admiralty.
The officers who thus sent to the
bottom 20,O00-ton ship, one of the
most powerful in the Austrian navy
were Lieutenant Raffaele Paolucci
and Major lRaffaele Rossetti. The
attack was delivered ON the morn

To- tow the bombs into Pola har-
Dor, the two Italians invented small
compressed air motors to which
were attached bombs. For six
months the two naval men practiced

Reaching the harbor entrance at
nightfall, the two daring men start
ed on their expedition swimming be-
side their little motors and steering
them. To escape detection by sen,
tries on a wooden pier across the
harbor mouth, Paolucci and Rossetti
had hats shaped like bottles, and the
sentry saw nothing but a couple of
bottles tossed about by the waves.
When his back was turned they ad-
vanced and safely passed the first
barrier.
After infinite labor they fought
their way through the steel nets and

nine hours. AS they were leaving,
they were discovered and taken on
board the dreadnaught. At first
they refused to answer the questions

At 6;15. however, they told the ad-
miral what they had done and he
gave the order to abandon ship. Pao-
lucci asked the admiral If he and his
friends might also try to save them
selves and he shook hands, saying,
"You are brave men and deserve to
live." They plunged into the water
and swan away, but ten minutes
later the admiral began to suspect
the bomb story and sent launch to
bring them back. They were made
