UNCLE RAYS CORNER
DREADNOUGHTS AND WAR.

bhLhDNoOuh1 . AMI WAX.
Thirty-four years ago, big new
battleship was built by Great Brit
ain. The facts about it were kept
secret during the building. At least
the general public was told almost
nothing about it in the newspapers.
Foreign spies probably learned a
great deal and told their govern
ments everything they found out.
When the new vessel was launched
the secrets were made open to the
public. It was called the Dread
nought, name meaning Fear
Nothing"
/. The Dreadnought had 10 big
guns, each of 12-inch caliber. 1t
was 490 feet long, and had speed
of 81 knots per hour At the water
line the belt of armor was II inches
thick.
That was perhaps the most pow
erful ship of the year 1905. Partly
because of the special effort to keep
facts about it secret, it became IA
nous. When other ships of the
same type were built. people called
them "dreadnoughts."
In 1909 and 1910 Great Britain
launched other and even more pow
erful vessels. Among them was the
Orion. with 10 guns of 131a-inch
caliber.
In 1912, two years before the
= World War, the Queen Elizabeth
took to the water. 1t had length
of 600 feet, and carried eight 15-

-Dreudnouqhts and War

In 1915, however, near the end
OF May, the German high seas fleet
dared to go out on the North Sea,
and there they fought a battle with
the British grand fleet.
1t was a fast and furious fight,
and took place about 80 miles west
OF the coast of Denmark. It is
known as the Battle of Jutland.
The British had % battleships, the
Germans %. In addition, there
were cruisers, destroyers and other
vessels on both sides.
Although the German vessels tried
to find cover, and did at last es-
cape, they lost fewer men than the
British. The Germans lost one bat
tleship and five cruisers, and the
British lost six cruisers. Both sides
lost torpedo craft.
Near the end of the war the Ger
man fleet was ordered to 60 out
on the North Sea "to break the
blockade" The sailors would not CO.

West opened the four of diamonds.
The ten was played from dummy,
East covered with the jack and Mr..

Immediately led club, finessed the

noted that West had originally held

ace and ten of clubs were next
cashed, but declarer now was forced
to abandon the suit, for otherwise
his opponents could run off enough
tricks to set him. On the second

observed that West had discarded
two spades. Hence, he now pro-

Highlands Citizens
Demand Suffrage
For District
Oppose Any Bill for
Reorganization Unless
Vote Is Provided

The Washington Highlands Citi-
zens' Association last night went on
record as opposing any reorganiza-
ton bill which does contain suffrage
for the district. John G. Juergens,
president of the association, said any
reorganization bill won't amount
to much unless it includes vote for
the District people" He appointed
committee consisting of j. G..
Juergens, w. E. Nair and Miss Vera
N. Barnes to study the proposals
and bill on the whole. The associ-
alton met at 1924 First street Sc.
Miss Veral N. Barnes suggested
that the association support the
newly planned recreation center to
be built on the site Of Oxon Run.
This should be regular family
recreation center" for mothers and
fathers as well as their children,
she said, adding that as the COM
munity in that section of the city
was swelling, the need for school
was increasing.
The Rev. George J. Cannon said
he had received word the National
Parks and Planning Commission was
planning to start work on the center
around January 10.
He added that the present set-up
was to have this park on the same
basis as Rock Creek Park.
Several members suggested that a
letter be sent to the postmaster ask
ing that the r. F. D. mail boxes be
removed in order to extend the city
delivery service toward their vicinity
in the southeast.
Resurfacing of South Capitol
street Sc and Atlantic street Sc
to better driving conditions was
asked by w. E. Nair. Several men,
bers complained of the lighting sys-
TENS on Zenia street Sc, Yuma
street Sc. and Brandywine street
Sc. Larger globes were suggested
by Mr.. Cannon.
Capt. H. H. Groves. of Number II
Police Precinct said Nichols avenue
extended to the District line needs
repairing and the problem would be
looked into. Parking facilities for
the dedication of the John Philip
Sousa bridge will enable drivers to
leave their cars on Fairlawn avenue

The president appointed his COM

V-The Challenge.

For half an hour Santa and the
new doll stood at the window and
watched the graceful son Of Light
ming dancing on the snowy hills. The
sweet tunes of his silver flute made
their hearts beat fast.
He would dance down the hill
almost to the Toyshop doorstep.
There he would hesitate and then
dash wildly up the hill again until
he was outlined against the moon.
"Oh, I wish he would come in,"
whispered the doll AS she whis-
pered the figure on the hill stood
breathlessly still. The song Of the
flute stopped. Then the figure
danced down the hill, playing a bold
march. He walked straight into the
Toyshop door and straight up to the
side of the doll.
'Oh," she gasped.
But you wished It," said the son
of Lightning. He looked full OF
laughter and he winked at Santa.
Santa chuckled.
Come" said Santa. "She did
wish it. Let's sit down."

troops because he could ride the

were losing in battle he pulled his

Christians throughout the universe
are looking forward to Sunday, April
Eth, at which time commemorative
services of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ will be held. Those of us whose
hope has faltered can look to Him for
a renewal of their Christian Faith and
find in his resurrection justifiable
proof that there's hereafter, and UNI
less we accept his doctrine, we shall
soon find that earthly disappoint-
ments and sufferings are very placid
in comparison to what an unsaved per-
son must face on his departure from
this earth. Why can't all of u.s.. you
and 1, turn over new leaf and make
Easter Sunday the first day of a
new year and begin to attend regular
ly, some cl lrch and strike up an ac-
quaintance with the doctrine that will
guarantee everlasting peace of mind.
To those who are without a church
home, may | suggest St. James, the
friendly church, as place to learn of
the doctrine of Jesus Christ our Saw
Jour. Rev. Reddick extends to all
hearty welcome and will do all within
his power to help toward making
yours most successful hereafter.
Please, won't you come?
Rev. Reddiek will deliver the morn

At 500 p. m. the Sabbath School
