DOUGLAS, Ariz, Aug. 15.-Capt.
D. D. Carr, n, attached to an anti
tank division at Fort Huachuca, was
shot fatally today In the home OF
1t. Col. E. G. Herlihy, and Sheriff
I. v. Pruitt took into custody Miss
Herlihy. the colonels daughter and
Capt. Cars fiancee.
A charge of assault with a deadly
weapon was filed by the county at
torney's office against Miss Herlihy,
an attractive red-head, few hours
before Capt. Carr's death in the
Douglas Hospital.
Police Chief Percy Bowden said
the shooting occurred about l am.
in the presence of Mrs. Herlihy.
Three bullets were fired, according
to Chief Bowden-one striking Capt.
Carr in the neck, another in the
chest. The third went wild.
The police chief quoted the
daughter of Col. Herlihy Fort
Huachuca tank commander, as
saying the shooting was the out
growth of quarrel which began as
she and Capt. Carr were coming
home from an evening spent across
the Mexican border at Aqua Prieta.
Mrs. Herlihy. said the two were to
be married September Is, Chief
Bowden related, adding that both
had been married previously.
Capt. Carr came into active duty
with the Army as a National Guard
officer about two years ago. He
was promoted to captain two
months ago, about the time the
Herlihys established home here.

terranean.
Where Wan goes action follows
He showed the muzzles of his big
naval guns close to Rhodes and gave
the Axis one of the biggest scares of
this war.
I paced the quarterback with the
ships officers and talked with the
gun crew in one Of the 6-inch turrets
and found them eager to start the
rain of hot steel on Rhodes.
Writes "Mussolini" on Shell.
There's a saying in the British
Fleet: IF shell has your name on
1t you are going to catch it..
So I wrote in pencil "Benito Mus
solini'' on one of the shells and
asked the gunner to deliver 1t that
night. He did
AS the fleet splashed steadily
closer to Rhodes, two other cores
pondents and I sat in the paymaster
commanders cabin under the 4-inch
gun turret and spent the time until
zero hour swatting brown cock
reaches the size of small General
Grant tanks.
AS midnight approached the
leaden cloud banks seemed to merge
Into grotesque humps on the horizon
A marine bugler sounded "All hands
to action stations.
On the bridge the captain and
gunnery officer checked last-ninute
preparations for the big shooting.
The guns were tested for readiness.
Officers jammed cotton wool in their
ears to deaden the conclusion when
the firing started.
With long white gauntlets pulled
over my hands and white helmet
over my head and a rubber banded
mesh over my face covering all but
my eyes and wearing my new
American tin helmet, climbed the
10-foot steel ladder with the COM
mander to the after steering tower
and searchlight deck.
Ammunition hoists were rushing
big shells up to the gun turrets
from lockers deep in the warship.
Big Show Starts.
Seven minutes to /. The big
show in Rhodes had already start
ed. Flares fell from British aircraft
illuminating the targets. The Ital-
ians had started firing hundreds OF
anti-aircraft shells.
Searchlight beams descended sea-
ward. My heart pounded madly as
the light swept the sea and I saw

in the ray. I thought now we had
been discovered. The heavy shore
batteries would open fire on us be-
fore the warships could turn into a
broadside position. The searchlight
suddenly switched off. Nothing
happened.
Five minutes to /. What time
is it?" asked the commander. I
glanced at my oil-stained luminous
watch, the same one I wore when
I went down with this cruisers sis
ter ship Galatea off Alexandria
December 16 last.
I'VE are due to fire now" the
commander said when I told him
the hour.
At that moment the first salvo of
heavy high explosive shells leaped
from the muzzles OF this warship's
guns.
Heavy Batteries Open Up.
Deafening, binding salvoes hurtled
the big shells shorewards. More
anti-aircraft fire from the enemy
on shore broke out, then their
heavy batteries swung into action.
Projectile after projectile swished
overhead and splashed into the sea
on the portside of our ship. Three
big shells smacked into the sea
few feet to our starboard.
On shore the enemy was raising
a big smokescreen over the harbor.
A shelling to me has always been
the most chilling Of naval ex-
periences, but tonight the Nazis and
Fascists added an extra attraction
the torpedo boats.
Two enemy E-boats off star
board aft" a sailor reported to the
commander. The 4-inch batteries
roared. Shell after shell poured
into the blackened waters where
the torpedo boats were racing
towards our warships.
There were great splashes of
water but 1t could not be seen
whether any Of the torpedo boats
had been hit. But neither were
we. Another torpedo boat skirted
to our portside but couldn't get
across a torpedo before 4-incher
began raking the sea.
More anti-aircraft fire and more
flaming onions. The fleet fired a
few parting shots while the heavy
British and American bombers took
over the job of beating up the air
drome and harbor works-at least
what was left of them.
Get Hotter Every Minute.
Ashore in Rhodes the Italians
and Germans were getting hotter
every minute as the pathway of
flame streaked along the waterfront.
In Rhodes they know now that a
Rome broadcast stating that the
British feet had been chased out
of the Eastern Mediterranean is a
little OH color.
This was the fourth bombardment
of Rhodes since Italy entered the
war The captain of this warship
in typically conservative British
fashion commented: I'VE threw a
scare into them and did what we
set out to do
En- route back to port there were
several reports that enemy aircraft
were about, but they failed to catch
up with the bombarding feet and
every British warship safely reached
its base. The only casualty in this
shelling was myself I stepped into
an open hatchway in the blackout
and fell 5 feet before catching a
handgrip on the steel railing.

LONDON, Aug. l5.-British war
ships bombarded 4 main spring
board threat to Cyprus, Syria and
the Near East on the italian island
Of Rhodes with surprise shelling
last Thursday while the Axis was
preoccupied with attacks on a great
Malta-bound convoy, it was dis
closed today.
The British squadron under the
flag Of Rear Admiral Philip l.. Wan.
a young naval hero who often has
challenged the Axis and won against
great odds, delivered precise IL
minute attack on Axis preparations
for enlarged operations in the Near
East.
Then Admiral VANS forces raced
away unscathed, leaving fires raging
among the harbor and shore targets.
Italians Taken by Surprise.
The italian defenders of the larg-
est Of the Dodecanese group were
taken completely by surprise. 1t
was several minutes before their
shore batteries replied to the Brit
1sh salvoes.
Then, reports from the warships
said. the italian fire was faulty. All
their shells missed their racing
targets and only two salvoes gave
the British a nearby splash in the
sea.
Informed British sources said the
pre-Gawn attack had the dual pur-
pose Of diverting the Luftwaffe from
attacks on Malta and the convoy
and Of breaking up any Axis prepa-
rations to use Rhodes as a base
of attack.
Rhodes would be the main Jump
ing-of spot for any attack on Cy-
prus or Syria" these sources said.
Second Attack in Year.
1t was the second time the British
caught the Rhodes defenders un-
prepared for attack from the sea.
A year ago the British set fire to
the water front installations of the
city of Rhodes.
Although the big German Italian
air bases on Crete are less than 200
miles away the British got awav
without damage or air attack.
The British force had to thread
through Axis minefelds in the
darkness to reach their objective.
Planes co-operated in the action.
dropping flares and bombing the
airdrome. All planes as well as ships
were reported to have returned to
bases without scratch.
Wan, who at 46 became an ad-
mlral at three years before his time.
f1rst won fame by pushing his
destroyer Cossack into a Norwegian
fJord and rescuing British seamen
from the German prison ship Alt
mark. He won the DSO for that
feat.
Helped Hunt Bismarck.
He was in command of the de-
stroyers which helped hunt down
and finish off the German battle
ship Bismarck last year and drove
heavy Italian force, including a
modern battleship, from an impor-
tant Malta bound convoy with
force Of light cruisers and destroyers
last spring.
In connection with the Rhodes
attack, it was noted that reports
from Turkey and the Near East
indicated Germany and Italy might
be readying big new offensive in
that area.
Travellers reaching Turkey re-
ported a steady influx of Axis troops
In Greece, the Aegean Islands and
Africa. Cairo dispatches have said
Marshal Erwin Rommel has been
using his air force to drive off re-
connaissance planes and shield

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Six planets have one or more
moons.
Jupiter has the most moons, its
total being II. Saturn comes next
with nine. Uranus ranks third
1t has four moons.
The planet Mars has two little
moons, the earth has one and Nep-
tune has one.
So we see that the earth and
Neptune have something in COM
mon. Each has single moon.
Except for that, there are very
few statements about Neptune
which could be made about the
earth as well. They both are planets
and both are shaped like oranges,
but they differ in most other ways
Neptune Is much farther from
the sun than the earth is. 1t is
about 80 times as far away. The
light and heat which the sun sends
to a square mile on the earth is
nearly 900 times as great as that
received by q square mile on Nep-
tune.
We might expect Neptune to be

It Is. 1t has q thick coat of ice, OF

tune lasts only eight hours, and
darkness-or "night"-lasts eight

which is two-thirds as long as it
takes the earth to twist around.
The year, however, is another
thing. Since Neptune is many times
as far from the sun as the earth is,
we might expect it to take longer
to circle the sun. That Is the case.
1t takes Neptune 164 times as long

Putting it another way, we may.
say that year on Neptune is equal

not unreasonable. He could expect
his own hand to produce three dia-
monds, a spade and two clubs even

ing that his partner would turn up
with some minor honor in clubs or
diamonds to afford a good play for
seven tricks or even more. Then
the penalty would be only 500 points

game.
South's slam bid was fine gam
BILE. If East had most OF his strength
in diamonds, as the overcall of four
diamonds indicated, North had
jump-raised on strength in the three
other suits. In that case it didn't
matter what North had, there would
still be a fine play for the slam.
Try giving East the ace and king
OF diamonds and North the strength
for a double raise in the other suits
and you'll see how easy the slam
at spades becomes.
The subtlety missed by the old
lady was East's double of six spades.
That called for some lead other
than a diamond, for If East had
wanted a diamond lead he would
not have doubled. West, forced to
choose between hearts and clubs,
guessed right by opening a club.
