ARMY s SHIELD
TURNS SHOTS
BY InternatlonaI News service


SAN FRANCISCO, April IA
new bullet-proof shield which de-
fleets the most terrific machine gun
fire less. than foot from a
soldiers face is now undergoing
tests on Army proving grounds, &C
cording to information given out at
Ninth Corps Area headquarters
here.
A soldier on a platform behind
it Is absolutely sheltered from the
hardest kind of rifle and machine
gun fire. it is stated in Army
circles.
Between the soldier on the plat
form and the guns attacking him is
half nm inch Of solid steel, inpervi-
GUS to rifle and machine gun fire.
and through this shield he sees
perfectly the entire field of oper-
atoms around him, and the guns
firing at him.
The shield was developed by Of
ficers of the ordnance department
to protect the gunners on tanks
from flying shell fragments, ma
chine gun fire and lead spray from
bullets spattering to bits on the
sides Of the tank.
1t consists Of huge. Mushroom
shaped cap OF half-inch aI4nor steel.
The cap is about three feet wide
at it's largest diameter and il about
two feet high.
A series OF saw.cuts about an
inch apart pierce the steel. The
cuts are too narrow to permit clear
vision: when the shield is at rest.
When it il in use( however, tho
whole shield is rotated at high
speed. The saw-cuts become a
band Of light, and through this
band OF light the operator in the
gun turret sees perfectly. Bullets
striking the whirling steel are shat
tered and flung aside, even II they
land directly on one Of the thin
cuts in the steel.

NOTE ON COURT
TRES j. s.
By GEORGE r. HOLMES

Marked resentment was manifested
today by Administration officials
over the action of the League OF
Nations in virtually instructing its
member nations not to deal with
the Senate's reservations to the
World Court. in the manner pre-
scribed by the American Govern
ment.
Sir Eric Drummond's letter to The
AZ powers comprising the court, ask
Ing that they oppose Washington S
program of individual correspond
enee on the subject of the reserva-
lions, was characterized as "a most
remarkable document.
The ne: result of the Leagues
secretariat's effort probably win be
e. prompt rejection by the United
States Of the invitation to send IS
delegation to Geneva to negotiate
with the League powers the terms
under which American adherence to
the Court becomes operative. Neither
President Coolidge nor Secretary Of
State Kellogg are disposed to go to,
Geneva to dicker with the League.
In voting American adherence to
the protocol. the Senate specified the
precise manner in which this adj
heFence was to become operative. 1t
provided that the State Department
should engage in correspondent with
tn Court powers as individual ma
tions. obtaining their acceptance of
the reservations in writing.
For the League now to instruct its
members to indicate their oppo
sition' to such a procedure, and in
sist upon the United States coming
to Geneva to deal with the 4S pow
ers as unit, is distinctly dis
pleasing to the Administration.
Sir Eric's open letter to the Court
powers was characterized today in
Administration circles as "a blum
der" and as a direct play into the.
hands of the irreconciliables in the
Senate. who savagely fought the.
Court. and who are overlooking no
opportunity TO revive the fight.
The irreconciliables were chuckling
today over the State Departments
discontinue.
What is more natural observed
Senator Borah R1 of Idaho, with
sarcasm, 1.-The Court is department
Of the League, and naturally the
League proposes to direct and super
wise all matters relating to the
court.
other irreconciliables voiced SIM
liar opinions Among the pro-Court
Senator's. the Drummon letter was
widely ''deplored.' although they gen.
orally refrained from comment.

By May 1 the new boat built for the Alaska Game Commission will be in operation along the coast line of the third division, according to Dr. w. H. Chase, member of the board, says the Cordova Times.

 Dr. Chase stated that most of the business of the game commission at it's recent session will not be made public until the department of agri- culture has acted upon it. Some changes of season on fur bearers will probably be announced.
 The commission has in mind con- struction of shallow draft boat capable of running on the Copper River flats which will be used in this vicinity, providing funds are available.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE

THOUGHT FOR TOMORROW
1t is suggested in Paris that by
dressing as in the days of Louis XIV
men will more easily win the love
of women.
When Kings provided knights with
clothes
AS we'll as suits of shining armor,
With golden coats and scarlet hose
Each gallant was a lady charmer.
He strutted to and fro and yon
His form with glowing colors laden,
And with the raiment he had on
He wooed and won his chosen
But nowadays that sort of thing
Is not a needful way of wooing
In getting wardrobes from the king
There's absolutely nothing doing.
If man believes his clothes persuade
A girl to love him, he's mistaken,
To win the favor of maid
He has to bring her home the
bacon.
She does not think of his array
AS he sits on the chair beside her
She wonders, in her artless way
