and prefer the theory that Mayos mind
or Benson's beat the wireless, and sent
It's suggestion to the mind Of the other
without using any mechanical medium.
Whatever the explanation the fact Is
that Admiral Mayo sent a dispatch to
Washington at 80 on the afternoon Of
Feb 4, 1917, which was crossed by a dis
patch from Admiral William $. Benson,
In the Navy Department, TO Admiral
Mayo.
And the two dispatches proposed the
shifting Of the feet to a new and secret
rendezvous-and named the same rem
devious.
Here is the message sent by Admiral
Mayo from the flagship Pennsylvania at
Guantanamo:
"Uness instructions are received TO the
contrary. propose to shift feet base to
Gulf OF Guacauayabo, after spoing prac-
tice Feb. . then proceed with schedule
of all gunnery exercises"
The message from Admiral Benson to
Admiral Mayo, which was dispatched
from Washington a few minutes later
than that from flagship. but before It's
arrival. read as follows;
Position OF fleet well known 70 every
body II considered advisable on ac-
count Of subma rlnes. shift base TO Gulf
Of Guacanayabo or elsewhere at discre-
ton. Inform department conhdentlally.'
WHERE Is
GUACANAYABO?
ASK the average man where or what
Guacanayabo is and you will have him
guessing.
Take a large scale map Of Cuba and
look OF the southern coast OF the island.
Between Santa Cruz del Sur and Cape
Cruz you will find a sizeahle body OF
water, extending in sort OF semicrcle
for some seventy miles. 1t Is about hf-
teen miles across at its widest part This
is the Gulf Of Guacanaynbo.
Long before It had been thoroughly
surveyed by our own photographic office
and the survey had ascertained that there
was ample depth OF water for the big
gest ships. The main channel had been
carefully sounded and marked out by
buoys. We had used Il for years for
special maneuvers. We knew how TO get
In. and how to get out again when we
wanted to; but the great consideration

Throughout the war our battleships were
almost in sight Of the place where Corn
wallis surrendered to George Washing
ton.
The York River affords wonderful
harbor. with water deep enough for the
largest battleships and spacious enough
for a whole fleet to ride at anchor. With
defenses at the entrance to Chesapeake
Bay and nets and patrols across York
River. no submarine could ever hope to
penetrate this safe haven.
NOT THERE
TO HIDE.
1t should not be supposed that the
fleet went into the York River either
to rest or to hide Far from it. Dur
ing the entire war there were few buster
places in the United States than this base.
Every ship was carrying on intensive
training day and night-training gunners,
engineers, 1remen, deck officers and
crews. armed guards for merchant yes
sells, men Of every rank and rating to
man transports, destroyers. patrol craft
and all the many vessels put into Eu-
ropean and transatlantic service.
In addition to new men in their own
crews. the battleships trained more than
AZ. coo officers and men for service In other
vessels.
Every man from Admiral Mayo to the
stokers wanted to get into action. Not
man in the Navy but knew in his heart
Il would be all over with the Germans
II only they would give the Atlantic feet
a chance.
The Germans, probably, knew 1t. too,
for the chance was never given Admiral

committee of five on recent Sunday aft
ernoon Now it has become well known
that he has been an Independent voter
for at least dozen years past. He in
no true sense fills the requirements Of
the election laws, as Republican can
didate, and ought to be considered dis
qualified by the members of that party.
This leaves Edward j. Robson as the
only real Republican contestant at the
primary to be held next week He
should therefore receive the votes of all
Republicans who go to the polls.
Robson WELL
WORTHY OF SUPPORT.
Mr.. Robson is a man of good schol-
arly attainments, unimpeachable integ
rity, splendid business ability. and in
every sense worthy of support. He is
a loyal American. believing in our ideals
of government, untainted by any social
istic tendencies. He did a great service
to this city when he unselflshly saved to
the taxpayers large sum of money that
he might have pocketed, as other county
treasurers before MIN had been allowed
to do, because of faulty legislation.
These defects he and his attorney, Mer
rill Moores, caused to be corrected, by
preparing and having enacted the pres
ent depository law. He never received
a penny of interest during his term OF
office The taxpayers got 1t all"
Mr.. Hall told his audience that the
question before the people of lndianapo-
lis now is not one of national issues.
That was settled last fall, he said, when
the News candidate for the presidency
was defeated. 1t is not n question Of
States issues, he averred. because, he
added, that also was settled last spring
when the News candidate for Governor
was defeated.
The business before us today is the
defeating of the News -Jewett candidate
for mayor of Indianapolis" he declared.
Mr.. Hall repeated his story of the life
of Professor Howe. telling how he had
received his education in Butler College
and the universities Of Germany, and how
he had become thoroughly versed in the
language and "kultur" of the German
nation.
WAS PROF. HOWE
ASKED TO RESIGN?
I'D like Professor Howe to tell why
he resigned from the presidency of But
Ter College I'd like him to tell whether
he was asked to resign. And whether
he resigned to save the college from fnan-
cial ruin under his administration. His
administration was not a success there.
Did l say that with the proper spirit
Of gentility?
"If Shank took to the tall timbers In
an extremely exciting period. it's safe to
assume that the News-Jewett crowd
would not let him do likewise, but he
might go home and go to bed. They tell
what a great staunch Republican he IS.
He never fought the battles OF the Re
publican party at the side OF Mr. Book
walter and myself. He voted for John
Hoffman for mayor against Mr.. Book
walter
"If Professor Howe couldn't vote for
William Howard Taft in 1912; II he
couldn't vote for Jim Watson or for
Charley Bookwalter, then he shouldn't

REFUTES HOWE
ON GAS QUESTION.

The candidate told Of the interest which
the mayor should hold in the settlement
Of the gas question and refuted clearly
the statements OF Professor Howe that
the mayor has nothing to do with the
settlement of the gas controversy.
"You should investigate the adaptable
tiles Of each candidate, then go and vote
without being coerced by any one"
The candidate continued the lead given
by previous speakers and vigorously at
tackled the News-Jewett combination,
which has set out to defeat him. He
warned the voters OF the catch OF the
News now In declaring that a vote for
Robson is a vote for Shank. He warned,
also. as he has in other addresses. against
the stealing of votes by the Howe or
ganization.
He pledged himself, II elected, to serve
four whole years, and declared he would
not attempt to coerce any one to carry
out his desires at primary or general
election.
II think too much OF the sovereignty
Of the people to do this" he said.
Robson MEETINGS
SET FOR TONIGHT.
Mr. Robson will have five meetings to-
night. At o'clock he will be at the
South Side Turner hall; at S so p. m. at
the Irvington Theater; at p. m. AT

COMMITTEE OF FIVE.
1.-THE self appointed committee Of FIVE
selected him on a recent Sunday after
noon, because he knew that before he
could run. he would have to permit him
self to be bound by that machine
Mr.. Robson, who came to the meeting
late and who was given rousing cheer
as he entered the hail, launched into an
attack on Professor Howe, In regard to
his party affiliations.
There was never a timo after the
party's candidate had been declared that

Robson. "Call me anything you Ike,

PRACTICE GOLF
COURSE READY
Three Holes Laid Out For Use
Of Members In Learning
Game

Temporary greens were completed
this morning by w. C. Caye. Jr., on
the practice three-hole golf course at
the Americas Golf club, and the
ground committee announces that it
is ready for use by members. Two
of the greens are of sod and one
of sand. The practice course occu-
pies the vacant space between the
club house and the Lee street road,
the first tee being located near the
road, the second hole taking the play
e. across the driveway and the third
back to the clubhouse. The ground
over this practice course is flat and
without hazards, which will make it
highly satisfactory Tor the beginners
for learning the rudiments of driving
and putting. Several who planned to
give the new course its initiation this
afternoon were prevented by the rain.
Plans for the formal opening of
the clubhouse and housewarming
Tuesday night, Dec. 27, are going
steadily forward, and it is promised
that the affair will be one of the
NEST brilliant social events in recent
years here. The clubhouse is I'M
dergoing painting inside and out and
a thorough overhauling.

Causes Of Winds.

Winds are produced by disturb
ance of the equilibrium In some part
Of the atmosphere; a disturbance al
ways resulting from difference in
temperature between adjacent sec
lions. Thus, If the temperature Of a
certain extent of ground becomes high
er, the air in contact with it becomes
heated, the air expands and goes to-
ward the colder or higher regions of
the atmosphere; whence it flows, pro-
ducing winds which blow from hot to
cold countries. But at the same time
the equilibrium is destroyed at the
surface of the earth, for the pressure
on the colder adjacent parts is greater
than on that which has been heated,
and hence current will be produced
with a velocity dependent on the differ
ence between these pressures; thus
two distinct winds win be produced
an upper one setting outward from the
heated region, and lower one setting
inward toward 1T.

THRESHING MADE A PASTIME
italian Families Beat Wheat From
Straw in Rhythm, and Seem to
Enjoy the Work.

GaSparinO Dante got up early Sun
day morning, and before the sun was
very high his days work was veil
started on his farm near Capula, Italy
The two daughters-One eighteen and
the other fifteen-started (and fin
ished) the day with the men. The
younger children were too small to be-
of any help, although the boy of ten
scattered wheat over the stone thresh-
ing floor so that it would be ready
when the older members Of the family
had finished with breakfast-bread
and cheese and coffee, for Dante can
afford coffee in the morning. He
owns thirty acres.
When threshing started, the father
paired with the Oldest girl on the
side of the floor; the other couple
stood side by side opposite. The four
fails were poised high in the air an.
instant and then at shout from the
farmer one pair descended and as they
were lifted the couple opposite struck.
The four beat the grain, keeping
perfect time and pausing only while
the boy raked the straw into pile
at one side Of the floor and swept the
kernels of wheat into another heap,
and threw down a fresh supply.
Then, with shouted signal that
seemed to welcome the new onslaught
the rhythm of the humping started
again. The manner of the threshers
was more like that of couples dancing
an old-fashioned quadrille than that
of harvest toilers under the blister
ing, binding midsummer sun of south
ern Italy.

PROTECTED BY WHITE BONE
How People OF Eastern Algeria Guard
Themselves Against the Glance
Of the Evil Eye.

People who live in eastern Algeria
always have a few beehives near their
homes. Sometimes the Berber will
place the beehives on the roof Of his
house.
The Berbers know bees so well and
like honey so much that from earliest
infancy they look upon the bee as
friend who must be guarded and need
not be feared. The Berber housewife
takes great care of her bees. She
makes sure that a sand storm sudden
ly sweeping across the great desert
will not utterly ruin the beehive She
protects the hives, their store of hon.
ey and the workers who make the
honey by covering the hives with mats
Underneath the beehives, in plain
sight of every one who passes, a white
bone swings in the breeze. The Ber-
Der is superstitious, and his chief fear
is danger from the evil eye.
Fear of the evil eye has come down
through the ages. 1t is common in
many other countries, particularly the
south of Europe. In all these lands
various talismans are supposed to
ward off the dangers Of the evil eye
The chief reliance Of the Berbers Is
placed in a white bone. Any bone
will serve so long as 1t is white, and
so placed that it catches the eye of
the passer-by.
The bone is believed to catch the
glance of the person who may have
an evil eye. Being attracted by the
cleaning white bone, the glance of the
evil eye is believed to be held by it
and kept from banefully falling upon
the object it is placed to protect.
