Of the Klagenfurt area after the plebis-
cite there gave 1t to Austria; the Boil
.sheviki have begun new attack on the
Foles despite the signing of a peace be-
tween them, and the League of Nations
has threatened the Poles with special
meeting Of the League Council unless

promptly.
This is the gist of the European news

When the big dreadnaughts Of our
navy go to sea, or cruise in foreign
waters, they are far from their base
of supplies and sometimes thousands
of miles from a navy yard where
repairs can be made. But this is OF
small consequence to our able me-
chanics on board these vessels, as
they are well equipped and can turn
out anything necessary to keep their
ship running.
Our naval machinists whom we
see in the upper picture, have turned
out some very clever work, and when
a part breaks, with no spares on
board, they simply take raw material
and produce the counterpart of the
original.
