It was abattle, and when I got safely back Intothe maintop every muscle of my bodythrobbed with palo, and I sank downagainst the mast, struggling to regainmy strength, I had my bead burled Inmy arm, conscious only of the wildleaping of the mast, and the sickeningsensation caused by Its constant sway-ing, when Dugan's shout sent the bloodpounding to my heart He stood up-

tight clinging to a stay, staring forthInto the smother off the port bow.

"Look, sir! There's a boat I See,yonder; she'll top the crest in a sec-ond there 1"

"Are you certain It Is a boat?" Iquestioned. "The thing had no shapeto me. What do yon say, Olson?"

A boat sir; there was a slip o' sailhoisted; It's my notion she's hoved to,rldln' to a drag. There she Is again."

Aye, I got a fair view that time, asthe cockle-she- ll was thrown high upon the crest of the wave. It was sickening to see that black object burledhigh up against the sky, and then disappear utterly into the hollow. Theboat must be hove to ; there would beno living otherwise in that sea, and thevery fact that It remained afloat wasevidence of sailors aboard. I drew my-

self to my feet clinging with one handto a stay, hollowing the other to makemy voice reach the deck below.

"Mr. Leayord 1"

"Aye, aye, sir.""There Is a small boat off the port

quarter, riding to a drag.""A what sir?""A ship's boat off the port quarter

too far away to tell what's aboard her.Can yon let her bead fall off a point?"

"Not without another hand at thewheel ; It takes all my strength to holdher as she Is."

"Jump down, Dugan, and lay aft;we must get that boat to leeward, If wehelp those fellows In this sea."

"Aye, aye, sir." - ...'He scrambled over the top, but Olsonand I were content to use the lubber'shole, reaching the deck later, and gladenongh to be there alive. I dived Intothe cabin after a glass, stopping longenough to explain what we had sight-ed to Vera, who appeared in her state-room door, fully dressed.

"You have not been in bed?" I asked,Indignantly.

"Oh, but I have; indeed I have. WhyI must have slept four hours, but I laydown fully dressed. I I didn't knowwhat might happen. Could you see ifthere were men in the boat?"

"No, not to distinguish them withthe naked eye; the glass will revealthat; but the boat must be occupied tokeep afloat In this sea."

"Who can they be, do you supposeshipwrecked sailors?"

"It would be my guess it will proveto be one of our own boats we've over-hauled."

"But how could we?""The wind changed after midnight

and, with only the one hand at thewheel, we were obliged to pay off, andrun before It It Is not Impossible thatwe are back in almost the some sectionof sea where we left those fellows.Come up on deck, and we'll knowshortly."

She went In for a wrap, but Joinedme almost Immediately. I must havebeen five minutes locating the boat yetfinally caught It fairly on the crest ofa wave. Even at that distance tworecognized feces leaped Instantly Intothe circle of vision Liverpool and Mc-

Cann,

the boat disappearing a It droppedInto the hollow.

"Get up there, McCann; on yourknees now; for heaven's sake don'tmiss that rope, and hold on hard ; takea turn around that thwart amidshipsno I don't make fasti Give Tony theend ; he has one hand yet Now getDubois Into the sling ; d you, man,you've got to; we can't leave theseoars. Take a grip there, Dubois, andhelp yourself. That's better." He lift-ed his arm In signal. "All right sir,swing away I"

It was a good half hour's Job, and ahard one; twice the boat nearlyswamped, and went down. Liverpoolwas the last to leave the boat, alreadyhalf filled with water. As he rose slow-ly, gripping the rope with his hands,unable to get foot In the noose, thedeserted craft floated away, the deadbody of Watson half covered withwater. ,

The four of them made a sorry look-ing bunch on the deck, but now thatthey were safe, my feeling of sym-pathy had vanished. I could only re-

call their treatment of us, and the dan-ger we still ran in having them onceagain aboard. Nothing was to begained by soft words with such as they.I stepped across to front them, and Ol-

son and Dugan Joined me."Now, look here," I said grimly.

"We've taken you aboard becausewe're human beings ; but there's goingto be no mistake as to your exactstatus on this ship. You'll take yourorders from me, and I'll kill the firstman-Jac- k of you who shows a sign oftreachery. What became of Sachs?"

McCann was still gasping from hisdrop Into the sea, and could not an-

swer, although I addressed my ques-tion to him. Liverpool replied :

"He knifed Watson, and Duboisknocked him overboard with an oar;he never cum up."

"Was It In the fight Dubois gothurt?"

"No, he was hit by the boom, an'Tony there broke his arm when he fellInto the boat off the ship's ladder."

"All right; three of you are fit forwork, and Tony can stand watch in theenglneroom. Have you had anythingto eatV

"Tes, sir. In a way; there was foodin the boat"

"Then you have fared In that respectbetter than we have. White, you gobelow and hustle coal ; you climb downalso Tony, and relieve Masters. Tellhim to He down and get some restMove along how; I'll be down theremyself presently."

I turned to McCann. "Get up fromthere; you are a hand on board thisship the rest of the voyage. Do yogunderstand? Answer me do you?"

"What do you think of our guests?"I asked finally. "Can we trust themat all?"

"Not so far as you could swing obull by the tall, sir," he answeredsoberly. "They ain't forgot the nightIn the boat yet,-- but there's Just asmuch devil In 'em as there ever was,"

"Tour opinion Is, they will neverhelp sail this ship Into St John's, ifany villainy will save them?"

'"That's It sir; they're so black now,they won't mind a little more."

"That's my Judgment ; we must keepthem apart as much as we can, andhave an eye on them all the time.How about Dugan?" '

"He talks straight enough, and tamy notion means to play square."

"That was; my impression; he'sIrish, and but no criminal,We ought to be able to keep the fel-lows separated. Besides I'll be aboutmost of the time."

"How long do you suppose it will be,sir?"

"Today and another night likely; Ican tell better when I get an obser-vation at noon. It will not give themmuch time for plotting."

I sent the two forward with Olsonwhen they returned to the deck fromthe cabin, and he busted them gather-ing up the riffle about the forecastlecaused by the night's storm.

Leayord brought the two men on deck, andas Dada was no sailor, bat more likelyto prove faithful, he was sent down theladder to assist Masters in the tire-roo-

Dugan took the change In ad-

ministration aboard with g

philosophy, seemingly feeling no antmoslty because of the rough handlingreceived, and went to work under myorders with hearty good will. We wereall four of ns capable seamen, and anhour of hard work placed the IndianChief In very fair condition, so far asdeck and running rigging was concerned. At the end, however, standingon the forecastle, and staring aft, Ihad faith that we could handle thehooker, even with that small crew, andbring ber safely Into the harbor of St.John's. Our earlier weather predic-tions were not yet verified, at least toany serious extent. Indeed there wasnothing particular to worry about, ex-

cepting that temporary steering ap-

paratus, and it had worked long enoughnow so as to give me confidence.

"What do you make of It Mr. Lea-yord-T

I questioned, indicating bothsea and sky by a wave of the hand."Was It a circular storm, leaving usoutside of Its radius f"

"No, sir: Ifs not that" and he drewtha back of his hand across his lips."Dugan an" I talked about It on themalnyard yonder, an' 'tis our Judg-

"But you have no doubt we'll weatheritr, "Barrln' an accident When do youexpect to make that port sir?"

"St. John's? Well, we're a bit offour course now. I'm afraid we may beanother night afloat"

He stood motionless, one hand shad-owing his eyes, as bo gazed ont overthe port rail.

"I was a' thlnkin' o them poor cussesout there In the boats, sir," he soldfinally. Tm bettln that most o' themwish they wus back on this deck bynow."

"No doubt: but there's no way wecan help them, and we've got our ownwork to do. Ton and Olson go below."

I watched the two disnppear throughthe companion, spoke a word to Dugan.posting him where he could bear mecall If necessary, and then went aft tothe wheel. I had not realized the fullweight of the gale until I reached thetop of the ladder, and stood erect wfth-o-

any protection from the cabin. Foran Instant I had to grasp the side rail,shading my eyes with an arm ; then Istruggled forward, until my handsgripped the wheel.

"Why didn't you call for help!" Iasked. "This was too much for anywoman. I never realized forward bowIt was blowing."

She swayed against me, clinging tomy sleeve.

"It It does kick some," she panted,"and I was almost afraid I, might let

"Not at all; we are In no shape tofight the storm, with only one man Inthe stokehole. Ton will have to creepto the ladder."

"You you wish ma to go below?""I order you to.""And you are going to rcsnaln at the

wheel alone?""Dugan Is forward, within easy call.

I have sent the two mates below foran hour's rest There Is nothing for nsto do now, but hold on until tha stormabates, ni simply lash the wheel, andstand by. Ton ara absolutely exhaust-as- ,

"Yes If If you think it best I amso tired the strain of It; the fear Icould not hold out"

"I know." I bent and kissed her, andshe clung to me. "But do not think ofthat any longer; you must go to yourroom at once and Ue down."

"But you will stay on deck allnight?"

"Not unless the storm Increases. Inan hour or so I'll call the others, andlie down myself. Come, dear, you belong In the watch below."

That certainly seemed a lonely deckafter she had disappeared down theladder. I had served many a quietwatch at sea, many a memorable one,but that hour taught me the real les-

son of loneliness. We were drivingforward recklessly Into a wall of darkness, utterly Impenetrable to the eye.What horror might be lurking justahead of the plunging bow, no lmaglmvtlon could picture. From where Istood, clutching the spokes of thewheel, I could not even trace the yardsof the mainmast nor could I perceiveon either side the water through whichwe drove. Tet It was not this whichpulled so at my nerve. I had stood atthe wheel often before guiding a greatship through Impenetrable blackness,and amid the Immensity of the ocean.But then I was one of a crew, alert andready, merely performing my part of agiven task. But now I could not drivefrom me the consciousness that I stoodthere alone; that on all that space ofdeck forward only one solitary mancrouched In the blackness; that belowlnthe englneroom, and stokehole, onlytwo more; already worn and wearywith toll, stuck grimly to their work;that under my control this greatfreighter, loaded almost to the deckbeams, was flying before the storm,plunging through the wild waters ofthe with death hoveringabove In the shriek of the storm. TetI clung to It grimly, no longer makingany attempt to hold any settled course,but merely choosing the easier way inwhich to meet the force of the storm.

It was two o'clock when, too thoroughly wearied to stand the strainlonger, I sent Dugan below to call themates. Leayord was the heavier man,and the more experienced sailor, so, atmy suggestion, be took the wheel, whileOlson went forward. I can recallcreeping down the ladder, and stag-gering down the stairs, but nothingmore. I must have been asleep evenbefore I reached the berth In the cap-

tain's stateroom.A hand shook me, and I opened my

eyes. For an Instant I was too dazedto comprehend. The port was closed.but daylight streamed through thethick glass Illuminating the stateroom,and I recognized Olson bending overme.

I had to call you, sir," he explainedkindly. "The main royal has brokeloose, an' It'll take all hands ter stowIt again In this wind; besides that fel-ler Dugan he's gin out entirely, an'there's got ter be another band sentbelow to the stokehole."

I sat up, already thoroughly awake."What time Is it?""Goln' on half after four, sir.""Why I thought I had Just dropped

off. Any Increase In the weight of thegale, Olson?"

'No, sir; I don't think the wind Isquite so heavy, and It's gettin' moresteadylike, but there's considerablesea."

"I can tell that the way the shippitches; she's taking water forward."

"Tons o' It; the damned hooker laloaded so deep she's more like a wharfthan a ship."

It was a wild scene enough when Iemerged from the companion andpaused a moment in the protection ofthe cabin to view the deck forward.Huge crested waves burst over theforecastle heads, cascading down ontothe main deck, and sweeping aft to thescuppers amidships. The vessel stag-gered under the repeating blows, yetrecovered with a buoyancy which gaveme renewed courage, plunging forwardagain to meet the next assault Thecontinuous boom as they struck againstour bows, the mad flapping of theloosened canvas aloft the ceaselessshrieking of the cordage, made a pan-demonium of noise which rendered thehuman voice almost useless. I put myHps to Olson's ear.

"Can the three of us pass those gaskets?"

'It's got to be done, sir, unless welet the sail go; but It's goln' to be noboy's Job."

"Where's Dugan?""Hnngtn' there to the shrouds, a'

"Let me go next sir, you haven'tbeen at this sort o Job lately."

However, I made It In my turn, thewind driving me flat against the spar,the footrope dancing madly beneathmy weight the flapping canvas of thaloosened sail as stiff as Iron. Duganhad the worst of It but he clung there

"Can you manage the wheel alonefor a bit Mr. Leayord?"

"I can try, sir.""Miss Canington, wonld yon mind

without a word, leaving the glass onthe deck.

"Good ; hold her as she Is, and haveMasters slow down. It is going to bea ticklish Job to get those fellows onboard ; has anyone a suggestion?"

"Right you are; you and Dugan layout on the yard and get the whiprigged ; pick a strong cord and see that't fits the pulley block. I'll keep to theJeck, and ease them In. Pass the endiown to me ; lively now." i

Those in the boat saw what we wereattempting, realizing at once that wemeant to take them aboard.

France. A day or so before he statedthat more than 700,000 had disembark-ed on French soil. An English corre-spondent at the front asserts that theAmerican army Is prepared, If neces-sary, to make a greater sacrifice thanthat Involved In tile brigading of Amer-ican troops with the British andFrench. This cryptic statement maymean that if the plans of the allies de-

mand It the Yankee troops will be sentto the fighting front almost Immediate-ly on arrival In France, without wait-ing for the preliminary training theyhave been receiving back of the lines.So far only a few of the Americanshave been used In the real fighting, andIn operations relatively small. As theconflict has changed Its character, be-

coming more open, It may be the Amer-icans are considered fit to take partafter their training In this country.

Several Important probabilities con-cerning the National army came to thefore last week. Representative Kahnsaid the war department intends to askcongress at the winter session to amendthe draft law to Include all men be-

tween the ages of eighteen and forty-nin-e.

Provost Marshal General Crow-de- r

decided to recommend the exemp-tion of professional ball players untilthe end of the season. Director Gen-eral McAdoo asked the exemption ofall railroad men, and the coal mine op-

erators asked the same for miners.I"

The comparative failure of the Ger-man drives so far, the splendid resist-ance made by the French and Britishand the excellent showing made bythe Americans must not lead theAmerican people Into a dangerous com-

placency and a feeling that 'it Is allover but the shouting." Those .whoknow the truth realize that the warIs far from ended may last four orfive years longer, Indeed nnd thatthe future holds for us tremendoussacrifices. We must put Into Its suc-cessful prosecution every ounce ofenergy we possess, even as do ourfighting men on the other side of theocean. There Is no doubt that the warwill be won finally by the forces ofrighteousness, but until It Is won noth-ing else matters much but the winningof It, for If It were not won, nothingelse would matter at all. The peopleof Great Britain and of France real-ized this long ago, and the people ofAmerica must realize it soon. It can-not be too strongly urged upon themthat the man power of the centralnations Is still tremendous and thatthey are sflll determined by everymeans to force their will upon the restof the world. The British and Frenchtroops, battered and wearied, doubt-less can hold the Unes until the au-

tumn, but they look to our millions toachieve the victory, and this they cando only If they are given every pos-sible support by those who stay athome. This will be given with a willIf only the people fully recognize theseriousness of the situation and theurgency of the demands on them.

to the fact that the Germansubmarine raiders sank a number olvessels laden with sugar from Cubaand to the Interruption In the trafilewith the Island caused by those opera-tions, Food Administrator Hoover hasasked that further restrictions beplaced on the sale and use of sugarfor a time. He also asks the peopleto place themselves on a limited beefallowance until September 1 next Inorder that the needs of the soldiersand civilians In France, Great Britainand Italy may be supplied.

Two great conventions opened In theUnited States last week, and each didIts part In urging the carrying on ofthe war to victory. The first was thatof the American Federation of Labor,to which President Wilson sent a mes-sage making It clear that the workersbad It in their power to bring victoryor defeat. President Gorapers' addresswag a thundering defiance of the Huns,and during the wee there were devel-opments that showed the great major-ity of the delegates would not coun-tenance anything that savored of

or even of undue pacifism.In Chicago hundreds of the most

eminent physicians and surgeons ofthe country, together with some fa-

mous ones from abroad, assembled forthe meeting of the American Medicalassociation. The address, the discus-sions and the work of these men werealmost wholly related to the war, andthe words of the leaders were hearten-ing In the extreme.

mer strokes of the Hun fighting ma-chine. The German authorities cannotdeny their severe losses In this offen-sive, and, with General von Stein, Prus-sian minister of war, as their mouth-piece, have striven to reassure thepeople by a series of falsehoods con-

cerning the allies. First they Issuedthe statement that the Americans Inthe battles about Chateau Thierry andIn Belleau wood had been defeated andpractically wiped out, though at thevery time those same dashing marineswere driving the enemy further andfurther to the west and north. ThenVon Stein, addressing the relchstag,asserted that Foch's reserves no longerexist, having been thrown Into thefight, together with the availableAmericans, In vain counter-attack- s

after the crown prince's advance hadcome to a halt on the Marne. The en-

tente, he added, is beginning to admitheavy defeat and is comforting Its peo-ple with having the help of America.The German press adds that the sub-marine raid in American waters stop-ped the sending of our troops toFrance.

The public may rest assured that allof these statements are absolute lies,easily refuted did space permit. Theyprobably are necessary because of thegrowing distress of the German peopleover their losses and their distrust oftheir leaders.

The allied aviators gained new lau-rels during the battle of last week, de-

stroying several scores of Germanplanes, bombing their trenches andmunition stations and Taking theirtroops and transports with machinegun fire from low altitudes. In thisthe American aviators played an In-

creasingly Important part, as well 'asdoing fine work on their own especialsector north of Toul.

Not yet rendy to start their newdrive In Italy, the Austrlans continuedto concentrate great masses of troopsthere. The point of attack was notrevealed, but the Italians kept thembusy with big raids. On Monday theItalian naval forces performed a nota-ble exploit Two torpedo boats raid-ed an Austrian naval base near theDalmatian Islands, making their wayamong the enemy vessels and torpedo-ing one big battleship, which sankwith a loss of more than 80 lives. An-

other battleship was damaged, and thelittle vessels then returned to theirbase In safety. It Is said the Italianshave built a "sea tank," long and nar-row, which can cut Its way through thesteel netting with which the Austrianports are protected. Possibly this wasused In the Dalmatian raid.

Having, ts they believe, completelysubdued Russia and most of Ukrainla,ami having made a friend of Finland,the Germans are reported to be trans-porting rapidly to the west front alltheir troops except small detachmentsleft to keep order. But all of the Rus-sians are not crushed, for now the cen-tral committee of the constitutionaldemocrats, who were ousted by thebolshevikl, have appealed to Americaand the entente powers to send an In-

ternational army to Russia to combatthe Germans. The committee urgedthat the aid be sent by way of Siberiaso that It might first withGeneral Semenoff, who Is still fightingon the Manchurlan border, and thenwith the Cossack chiefs. The matterwas seriously considered, but In Wash-ington It was announced that Presi-dent Wilson did not think the timewas ripe for such action. He probnblyhas definite plans In this regard, butthey have not been revealed to thepublic. Japan Is preparing a declara-tion defining her attitude toward Rus-sia. If an allied army Is sent IntoSiberia, It probably will consist main-ly of Japanese and Chinese troops. Inrdeed, It Is said Japan would object tothe presence of contingents from thewestern nations as a reflection on herhonor.

Fighting their way westward throughRussia and Siberia as did the littleband of Belgians who recently passedthrough the United States, some 15,000Czechoslovak troops are striving toreach the Pacific coast. The bolshevikauthorities have ordered them disarm-ed, and they are having almost con-tinuous battles with the soviet forces.

Americans Drive Huns Out of BélleauWood False Statement by Prus-

sian Minister of War GallantExploit of Italian Tor-

pedo Boats.

By EDWARD W. PICKARD.Aiming at Complegne and Estree St.

Denis, with the evident Intention offorcing the French out of the Noyonsalient, the armies of Crown PrinceBuprecht of Bavaria, under the Imme-diate command of General von Hutier,started a great drive southward

and Noyon on Sun-

day. The result was the most desper-ate and bloodiest fighting of the entirewar, for the French resisted fiercelyand slaughtered the enemy In tremen-dous numbers. By sheer weight theGermans were able to push forwarddown the valley of the Matz for severalmiles, making their greatest advanceto the southwest, but by Tuesday theywere brought almost to a standstill.Then General Foch struck back withforce and on the west side of the ene-my salient daove the Huns to the east,retaking Courcelles, Le Fretoy, Mery,Belloy wood and other strong posi-

tions and reaching the edge of St.ilaur. The defense of Courcelles, Im-

portant because of Its commandingheights, was especially heroic the Ger-mans trying by every means to gainand hold the village, In vain.

On the east of the Ballent the Ger-mans, by tremendous efforts, wereable to force their way past Rlbecourt,and by Tuesday they had reached theOlse at Machemont and Bethancourt,the latter village being the scene ofespecially sanguinary fighting. Thisso threatened the French troops In thethin wedge extending toward Noyonthat In the night they were quietlywithdrawn without the knowledge ofthe enemy, and the Une, thus short-ened and straightened, thereafter washeld. In this move the Carlepont for-est was abandoned and the new lineextended through Bailly, Tracy le Valand Nampcel.

With the west Jaw of the pincersthus "pushed down the Matz, the Ger-

mans tried to shove the other Jaw Infrom the east, between Solssons andthe Marne, but there they apparentlywere almost unsuccessful, for theFrench gave ground only slightly onthe plateau west of the villages of Cut-r- y

and Dommlers nnd repulsed attacksagainst St. Pierre Algle and Ambleny.At Haute Bray, north of Solssons, theHuns met a smashing defeat.

Further to the south. In the regionof Chateau Thierry, the Americansand French continued their good workttf the previous week. Each day Per-shing's men struck at the foe bard andby the end of the week they hadBcored considerable advances, themost valuable gain being the takingof Belleau wood, which had been fullof machine gun nests. In the Clignonvalley, Just north of this, the Germansused up five divisions In futile as-

saults on the American positions. TheFrench In this region occupied Mont-cou- rt

and part of Busslares.In the latter part of the week the In-

domitable French struck heavy blowsat the Germans on the eastern wingof the new front and drove them backacross the Matz with severe losses.Between the Alsne and the s

forest the enemy made someprogress, but southwest of Solssons bisattack was broken.

IThe outstanding fact In last week's

fighting is that the Germans Bufferedenormous losses, in return- for whichthey gained ground that Is compara-tively unimportant. Certainly at thebeginning of the week there was a feel-ing of nervousness among the alliesthe civilians, not the soldiers but thisquickly disappeared and was replacedby the former confidence in the abilityof the allied armies to resist the ham

Why is it that the sales of thesetires are constantly mounting byleaps and bounds ? ,

Likewise through every processof construction from crude rubberto finished tires we have set newand higher standards everywhere.

These standards work out on yourcar in the practical economy de-manded by war-time- s. 1

General Foch Says Reserves,

Carefully Husbanded, Will

Deliver the Knockout.

BLUDGEON MUST BE STRONG

Used at the Finish With Surprise, Massand Speed, They Will Make the

Attack, Destroying the Enemy's Organized Forces.

London. Only an offensive, characterized by surprise, mass and speed,can bring victorious results in warfare,says General Foch, commander In chiefof the allied armies. In an article whichhe contributes to the Field, a weeklyJournal.

"Modern warfare, to arrive at itsend and to impose Its will on the enemy," General Foch says, "recognisesonly one means destruction of theenemy's organized forces.

'War undertakes and prepares thisdestruction by battle, which bringsabout the overthrow of the adversary,disorganizes his command, destroys hisdiscipline, and nullifies his units asfar as their fighting power is concerned.

No Victory In Defense."Our first axiom must be that to

achieve Its object a battle must not bepurely defensive. A purely defensivebattle, even well conducted, does notresult In a victor and a vanquished. Itis simply a game that must be begunover again.

'From this it Is an obvious corollarythat an offensive, whether started atthe beginning of an action or whetherIt follows the defensive, can only giveresults, and, in consequence, must always be adopted at the finish.

"To maintain our position Is notsynonymous with being victorious andeven prepares for a defeat. If we re-

main where we are and do not pass tothe offensive to fix the direction of attack, to guard against the plans of theenemy, and prevent him from carryingout the some maneuver, we must undertake to carrj on and sustain numerous combats, each with determinedaim.

All Depends on Reserve."But since there remains no doubt

that decisive attack Is the very keystone of a battle, all other actionswhich make up a battle must be envisaged, considered, organized, pro-vided with forces In the measure inwhich they will prepare, facilitate, andguarantee development of a decisiveattack characterized by its mass, Itssurprise, its speed, and for which, inconsequence, it Is essential that thereshall be the maximum reserve forcepossible of troops of maneuver.

The reserve that Is to say, theprepared bludgeon Is organized andkept carefully instructed to executethe single act of battle from which results are expected namely, the decisive attack.

Surprise, Mass and Speed.'Reserves must be husbanded with

the most extreme parsimony so thatthe bludgeon may be strong enough tomake the blow as violent as possible.Let loose at the finish, without anylurking idea of saving them, with awell thought out plan for winning thebattle at a point chosen and deter-mined, reserves are thrown in all together in an action surpassing In violence and energy all other phases ofbattle, an action with proper charac-teristics surprise, mass, and speed.All our forces really participate, eitherby preparing It or by carrying It out.

In this, our supreme aim, we mustnot be deceived by appearances. Although theory falls when applied byfeeble hands and when accessories obscure the main principle, history andreason show us thaf in battle there Isa single argument which Is worth while

namely, decisive attack, which isalone capable of assuring the desiredresult the overthrow of the adver-sary."

Not Taking Any Chances.When Captain Hammond of the Brit-

ish Royal Flying corps flew from Dayton to Indianapolis the other day oneof the first fellows he met at thespeedway was Johnny Altken, the au-

tomobile speed king. Captain Ham-mond desired a spin around the speed-way in Johnny's racing car and he wasaccommodated.

"Did you give the captain any fancythrills?" James A. Allison asked theracing man.

"I should sny not," Johnny replied."Why not?" Allison wanted to know."Well, you see. It's this way: the

Wisconsin Indians still retain ninnypeace medals thnt were given to theinor their ancestors by vurious govern-ments, and some of the medals dateback In 1720, according to an articleon Wisconsin Indian medals In TheWisconsin Archeologlst.

The earliest medals owned by Indianfamilies today Include one of brass Is-

sued at the time of George I, four ofsilver bearing the bust of George III,an old Spanish medal aud four Ameri-can medals.

A Washington medal Is in the posses-sion of an aged Ottawa Indian on theMenomonle reservation near Shawano.Philip Nacootee, a Menomonle Indianof the South Branch settlement, has aLincoln medal. A silver medal withthe bust of I'resident Polk, dated 1845,was owned by the Mcnomouie chief,Shunlen.

Arthur Gerth, Milwaukee collector,once owned a silver medal issued byPresident Jefferson. An Andrew John-son medal Is In the collection of A. T.Newman of Bloomer. Dr. AlphonseGerend Is the owner of a silver GeorgeIII medal, formerly the property of theWisconsin chief, Wiiumegesako.

Colorado.A shipment of ore of a good overage

grade was loaded out recently fromthe Forest Queen mine on the easternslope of Ironclad hill.

Creede camp Is at present shippingclose to 150 tons of ore each day,which carries from 20 to 25 ounces insilver to the ton, with heavier goldvalues.

McLeod and Kessy of Goldfield, les-sees on the Six Points mine, on Bullhill's southeastern slope, are miningon the filled stope plan and will soonbe making steady shipments of a goodaverage grade of ore.

Colorado's only producer of sulphurIs located on Trout creek. Mineralcounty, twenty miles from Creede andtwenty miles from the broad gaugerailroad that runs from Alamosa toCreede. Motor trucks were used inhauling the ore.

Lessee White, operating the OrphaMay mine on Bull hill, under leasefrom Stratum's Cripple Creek Miningand Development Company, was ship-ping from that Stratton estate prop-erty again. The ore shipped was esti-

mated at between $20 and $30 to theton. i

of ammunition after a,

feigned attack on the part of the foe.

This Is In part due to the German theory that a

certain percentage of hits will result from a giv-

en number of shots. The ftoclie Infantryman, ex-

cept at short range, does not direct his aim at aparticular adversary. He fires for general re-

sults.A German officer, for Instance, learns that there

are a certain number of the enemy In a givenzone about 100 yards square, 500 yards In frontof his position. He estimates that if his companysprays this zone for a half-hou- r a certain percent-age of casualties will be Inflicted, dependent uponthe rapidity of fire, number of marksmen and sizeof zone.

An American farmer boy could tell him how er-

roneous this theory Is. He knows, because ex-

perience hns taught him. Time and time againhe has fired with a shotgun Into a flock of ducksor n covey of grouse on the wing bunched appar-

ently so closely that a miss Is hardly possible.There are 150 or 200 Individual shot In the load,yet such an attempt nenrly always scores a com-

plete miss. Naturally this percentage of failuresmust'be still higher in rifle shooting.

An attackipg party may be advancing In whatlooks like a dense mass. There is to the eye very

little space between the men. A "general results"shot ought to score a hit. In point of fact, Itusually does not. Spaces between the moving menare constantly opening. Very little of the frontoffers a vital target. A shot through a knap-

sack, a helmet, through baggy breeches, or thick

"Ah, yes. To be sure. You've al-

Production of copper by the Kenne-cot- t

Copper Corporation In Mayamounted to 10,162,000 pounds, ofwhich 3,404,000 pounds came fromAlaska and 6,758,000 pounds fromSouth Africa.

The application of the Butte and Su-

perior Copper Company for a writ otcertiorari in the case brought againstthe Clark Montana Realty Companyand the Elm Orlu Mining Companyhas been denied by the Supreme Courtof the United States. This suit wasbrought in the Circuit Court of Ap-

peals for the ninth circuit to quiet titleto a mining claim and to certain orebodies for an accounting. The patentto the minina; claim In 'controversywas Issued to the Elm Orlu companyIn 1884 and subsequently was boughtby the' Clark Montana Company. Theaction of the Supreme Court vests con-

The conditions In Europe are totally different.Land is owned by the aristocracy, and sincefeudal times hunting has been a privilege peculiarto that class. Unless he secures employment asa gamekeeper, the poor man has no chance tolearn to shoot. Nor have the middle classes anybetter opportunity. Ammunition Is expensive.The license fee Is excessive, running as high' as$2u. The only good guns are hand-mad- for thereason thnt gunsmiths look only to the upperclass as purchasers. Hence no good, cheap, mach-

ine-made rifles are manufactured. Lastly, thereIs no open land upon which to shoot.

For all these reasons, the worklngmnn of Eu-

rope knows very little about firearms.Man for man, the total number of troops in

the field taken Into consideration, our Civil warwas t,he bloodiest ever seen. The operations InEurope during the present struggle have alwaysbeen over a wide front. The numbers engagedhave been enormous and the total losses stagger-ing. Yet the wastage of human life has been rel-

atively small compared with that of the Unionand Confederate armies. There has been no Get-

tysburg, no Bloody Angle in the present conflict.Why? Neither the forces under Grant or Lee

attained the perfection of training acquired bythe armies of today, with the exception of a fewstar corps composed of picked regiments. Theheavy casualties were due to the Individual fight-

ing ability of the troops, to their expert use ofthe rifle.

From the dnys of the minute men of the Revo-

lution, the superiority bt the American riflemanhas been conceded by all. Morgan's backwoods-men proved their efficiency as marksmen in theWar for Independence. The raw frontiersmandemonstrated it again at New Orleans underJackson against Pakenham's trained regulars. Atthe Alamo, Crockett and Bowie, with a littlehandful of rlfletflen, held the hordes of Santa Anaat bay. Our history Is full of incidents in whicha little band of grim men, their backs to the wall,have held off many times their number by sheertenacity and deadly rifle execution.

The reason for this Is not far to seek. In earlydays America was a virgin land peopled by no-

madic tribes with an amazing skill at woodcraft.These natives had to be outwitted and outfought.

No country In the world, with the possible ex-

ception of British Southeast Africa, ever had sucha wealth of game B3 this. The first settlers wereAnglo-Saxon- the greatest sport-lovin- g people onearth. With them they brought little but fire-

arms and stout hearts. They had to defend them-

selves against the Indians and to live by thechase. Gradually they learned to raise grain,fruit and vegetables native to the land of theiradoption. But for a long time their main sourceof supply was wild game.

It resulted that every boy grew up with a rifleIn his hands. Inevitably these frontiersmen,faced with an opportunity based upon necessity,developed the keen eye, the steady nerve and thewoodmnnshlp that made them the best shots everknown.

With the growth of the country the tide ofcivilization rolled westward. Clark opened thegreat Northwest. Pike led the way to the Rock-

ies. Always the adventurous son pushed to themore remote frontier. The greatest trek In thehistory of the western hemisphere was on. For50 years It continued. Almost every foot of theWest was won by toil and hardship, at the costof sacrifice from which men and women emergedstrong and t.

The tradition of the hunt persists with us. Theman used to tramping the hills for big game en-

dures hardship and privation for the Bake of thesport. He learns to shoot at g gameunder difficulties of distance and visibility. Rfollows that when he is taken out to (he riflerange and Instructed he learns In a few lessonstha proper sighting and method of using the mili-tary rifle.

These once acquired, he Is in a class by himself,for he Is used to shooting under the same condi-tions, though with less danger to himself, that ob-

tain at the front No amount of practice at therifle range can serve as a fit substitute for his ex-

perience.It Is this fundamental training which lies back

of target practice that Is responsible for themarksmanship of the American army. The ma-

rine corps holds the finest record In the service.Fully one-thir- d of this organization wears themarksmanship emblem. At least one-ha- lf of themarines are first-clas- s riflemen.

rend the tales of trappers and hunters and prac-

ticed them on a small scale in the woods out-

side his village.The American is a marksman by training.

What boy has not spent long days In the woods

with a gun In his hands? What youth, exceptingonly some bom and reared In the largest cities,

has not come home at night in triumph with a

bag of cottontails?The third reason why Sammy sticks to his rifle

in the trenches is that it is the best military arm

In the world.For these three reasons, then because the rifle

Is his weapon by tradition and by training, and

because the one he carries Is the best manufac-

tured oiir Infantryman backs the rifle against the

hand grenade and the bayonet. He can use any

of the three, but for choice give him a clean COO--

yard shot at a moving spot of gray outlinedagainst the dun Flanders background of a scar- -

,

torn hill.It has been acknowledged for years that the

American regular army, small though it was priorto 1917, is the finest body of marksmen In' any

army. Our teams competing at Camp Perry and

tit Klsley against the best shots of Europe and

the western hemisphere, proved conclusively thatthe superiority still rests with us.

The United States government has made for itsarmy the most perfect military rifles ever pro-

duced. These are the Springfield model of 1003

and the 1917 model, both of which are beyond

question better guns than those used by any otherarmy in the world. The cartridges for theseweapons are the best now In use. Orders have

been placed for 2,920,000 rifles. The productionnow averages 50,000 a week, sufficient to equip

three divisions. One billion cartridges have beenordered for practice in the training camps. Ourmanufacture of rifle cartridges excels In amount

that of any other country. One firm alone turned

out 123,000,000 during one month.

The pollay of the government has been to ap-

propriate about $13 a year for the rifle practiceof i ach soldier In the army. Target ranges have

heen built In all parts of the country. Thesewere available not only for the use of the army

and the National Guard but also for rifle associ-

ations.Germany has not been able to do this. With

a standing army so great as the one maintained

ty the kaiser in peace times, suchwould have interfered with other plans. If

S13 n year had been spent on ammunition for the

shots than they are. today. But this gain

would be at the expense ef the funds necessary

for the supply of munitions the general staff was

accumulating against the day of need. Prior to

the war the German soldier fired only about 12

bnll cartridges a year on the range. .

The rilla ranges In Europe are few and Inferior.

Land is far too valuable to permit of much be-

ing used for such purpose. Scarcely any of theseranges are suitable for practice at a distance of

over 400 yards. An appropriation of $13 to the

man for ammunition would not hnve made Eu-

ropean soldiers anything like as expert as ours.

The lack of opportunity to shoot under the field

conditions, which are the foundation of a good

rifleman's work in actual battle stress, wouldnecessarily have debarred this. -

The American is a hunter. He used to be a

rifleman from necessity, since his safety and his

food depended on his skill. He Is now one fromchoice. There are few of our yungsters who donot own or have access to a .22 rifle, and but few

who do not get an occasional chance to use a

shotgun. The hunting Instinct Is still strong In

us. It is estimated that about 3,500,000 sports-rae- n

in this country hunt every year with a rifle

or a shotgun.Even In thickly, settled districts game Is still

plentiful enough to offer enticing sport The li-

cense fee is small, amounting usually to only 1. .

Ammunition is cheaper here than elsewhere. The

leggings, even through the fleshy part of tne noay,

will not stop a charging foe. The only way tomake sure of a hit is to pick an individual tar-

get, aim at dead center, and fire accurately. An..Infantryman In full equipment Is a good deal likea hawk on a fence post. You are likely to get

a lot of feathers from your shot and very littlehawk.

The ability to shoot accurately has made the

American rifleman dangerous. This same skill ismaking our infantrymnn superior to his foe on

the western front. .General Pershing recognizes

the need of maintaining this advantage, for In hisreports he recommends that the greatest care

be taken in rifle instruction at the cantonments

since this is the most valuable weapon both In

offense and defense.Put a company of crack German troops against

an equal number of ours. Let them direct theirfire based on the "generul results" theory at our

men while our boys follow the American method

of selecting an Individual target. An average

company of Sammies would contnln about ten

experts, 20 sharpshooters, 35 marksmen and a

large number of first-clas- s riflemen. The result

would not be hard to determine.

It Is because of the deficiency of the Germans

as riflemen that their general staff has resorted

so largely to the hand grenade. For the same rea-

son the French and British have done the same.

We read stories of infantrymen chasing troops

a quarter of a mile to get close enough to throw

hand grenades at them. d rifle fire

would have been far more effective. There are

times at short range when the grenade Is a su-

perior weapon. One tossed into a group of men

will do more damage than a single rifle bulletbut the supply of grenades a man can carry is lim-

ited and the distance at which they can be used

effectively Is short. Since the French and British

are better shots than the Germans they send

more riflemen over the top and fewer grenadiers.

The British regular army had a great reputa-

tion for shooting. Most of these had seen serv-

ice in Egypt, Africa or other colonies where con-

ditions in a degree resemble ours. The work these

veterans did In the first battle of Ypres and at

the retreat from Mons. where with practically no

artillery they held four or five times their number

shows what morksmanshlp can do for an army.

The Latin Instinct is to use the knife. Forthis reason the French and the Italian revertoften to the bayonet. Because the German does

not like close d work he prefers the

grenade.The Canadian Is our born brother at arms. The

conditions that have made us made him. His ef-

fectiveness as a soldier Is due to his Individual

initiative and to his skill with the rifle. What Is

true of him Is true of our soldiers. Already they

show a tendency to stick to the rifle. When they

get going well the Germans will pray to be putagainst any troops except Americans and tha

chief reason for this dread will be Sammy 'Iwith the rifla.
