The Clinton News Record, 1915-01-14, Page 6FLEET, STRIPPED AND NAKED BRITISH PREPARED FORA NA.- VAL BATTLE. ••••. Every Sailor Is Protected on the, Great Modern Battle- ships. If we eould. See the ships of the Grand Fleet in the North Sea we may be sure they woultIleardly pre- sent that spiek and span eppear- awe which we associate with a ehip of wee during times of peace; their sides all stained with rust all round the water line and a, geeerally be- draggled a,ppearange—thet is if they have been keeping the sea, says the Navy and Army Journal. But the most garbling, charege would be the tripped and naked appearance they would pre,sent, for gone would be. all sails, boat dav- it's, ridge ropes,and the usual pasa- phernelia that is part of any ship's peato trimmings. The, veesels are ' cleared for station! " • ' Getting a ship ready for the stern best of battle is no light underbak- big. At least once a week during the piping times of peace the whole ship's company% are exercised at "general quarters," an evolution which takes a very few minutes to • perform. On these oceasions the buglers sound off "exercise action," • when the gu.ne are "ease loose," Magazines opened, the guns being loaded with a projectile and dummy charge. Drills are then proceeded with, the `vas generally being se- cured: and all stores -returned by six bells—ii a.m. When bhe ship is going to target • practice "action ' is sounded, and, of coarse, the. gene are loaded with a real charge and the fusing pro- ceeds until the amount of ammuni- tion •allow -ed for these occasions is exec2ieded. Then the "secure" is sounded. That also is a. preperee tree- perfonnance aloeggde "pre- pare .or batilr.- Then the ship is stripped of every atom of frilling likely prove dangerous to life filld limb. A11 Wood Is Removed. One of the greatest dangers in a modern action is fire, owing to the terrible incendiary uature of the thells used, so that theoretically no scrap of wood should be found in it warship ; but as men have to live in them during times ef peace, a cer- tain amount of wood fittings is ab- solutely nebeseary for ;comfort. But every scrap of wood fitting is of a portable nature, and easily re- moved, Occaeionally men go to "stations, prepare for battle,": when every piece of woodwork that could be Jettisozed is marked, and cesili man or group of men made to understand for what parts they woukl be responsible. Just what would be done wieh boats in action seeras never to have ' been definitely settled. Some ofa- , cers are in favor ef lowering them into orittches on efeek or superstruc- tures and filling them with water; others suggest covering them with oanyas and binding them round with rope from stem to stern; oth- ers, again, take the heroic course . of rleopping them into the sea all well faebened together, and allowing them to drift where they will,. The latter course seems the most praoti- cal and sensible one, ll'ic only object of the boat can • be to save life should the ship be re- duced to a sinking condition, and both the filling of them with water or marling them down would ren- der them useless for this purpose, as it would take same time before they cou'd be nia.de ready for lower- ing, always supposing they escaped the ellatberins effect of shell. What is- being regarded as a good subs ti late for life-saving purposes • In mealy ships in. the grand fleet is the men's mess tables. These are made of one -inch planking, are about three feet wide, and from cm', en to ten feet long. Floating ' fiat on thc water, they would sup- • port a greet, number of men. ffina- mediatcly meals are finished, these tables are dismantled, ready for • carrying on deck, should the need for using them for life-saving pur- poses arise. hife-saeing ail' belts have recent- , ly been pi•ovideel, These are worn around the rea'•et and -can be blown up quickly. and will keep the wear- er afloat if the,ship goes down, 'Everybody Protected.

THE GOAT D fo (4 S. A Illexietin Penciller DescribeIlle Method of Training Them. Just before the Rio .Grande crosses the boundary line between ;Colorado apd New Mexico, it en- ters a box canon whose wae Some plaices are a, thousand fest in tueight and almost perpendicular: For a number of miles, before it en- ters the canoe, the river flows through is eough country that is worthless for farming purposes. The peeturage even is so scanty that it is suitable only for sheep and goats. The few settlers are all Mexicans. Wolves, and coyotes haunt, the hills and ravines along the river batik, and the herds must be watch- ed day and night. Near the en- tran.ee to the canon lives a Mexican eancher who owns several large herds el goats, He has fend out how to herd his flock without hired help. Ile sends the herd out on the range .under the care of dogs, eath of which has been raised among goats, and has, in fact, had O goat foster mother-. This man de- scribes his method of training his dog herders as follows: 'My dogs are a cross between the ehepherd and Stotoh • collie. As soon as the pups are born, I take those that I want to .-rnake into herders away- from the mother dog and put them to nurse on a nanny goat, one puppy to a goat. The goat milk agrees with them perfect- ly. They are never permitted to run with other dogs, and know no companions except goats, and by the time they are grown they have a thorough knowledge of their adopted relatives. You might al- most say that they were half goat. ''After the puppies get their teeth, I have to watch them care- fully, for now and then one of them will get the habit of biting the goats. Thal trait renders the dog absolutely aseless for my purposes, and I immediately kill him. But biters are very rare. The dog rais- ed in this way soon becomes a natu- ral guardian of goaes, and at a year or so can be put in charge of a herd: The herds go to the hills in the early spring, and remain there till the first snow comes. The dog stays with his herd day and night, drives his chargee to the 'best grass ie the morning, and rounds them up at night on some good -bed ground, just as a. Inman herder would do. And sill the time he keeps a sharp lookout for erowl- ing wolves or coyotes. I almost never lese any goats bp these ani- mals, "1 early food to the dogs once a date The only time 'a dog will leave his herd and come in to the ranch is when I fail to take him something to eat. And then he is impatient to get back to his work, and as soon as he has got his meal, hurries away. "1 find the dog herders more sae- isfactory than men, They antler - stand their business thoroughly, and they are always faithful. More- over, I do not have to pay them any wages." .1. Was Duly Invited. A gentleman was chatting to his wife in the presence ofhis little daughter, and remarked, "We will ask Mr. Brown to come and dine with us to -morrow. It takes .him all his time to keep his heed -above wa- ter." Mr. Brown was duly invit- ed, and came. As soon as he had got comfortably settled in a chair the litble daughter 'went and sat on his knee, then started stroking his hair. "Well," she said, with much surprise, "yet -Er hair isn't wet." "No, little women," said Mr. Brown, "why should it be wetl" "Papa said it took yen all your time to keep your head above water, so I was sure, your hair mutat be very wet," "BUNCOMBE" It Don't Always Pay to Be Skepti- cal.

"Of 'Meese this will 'give pain to mealy goodpeople, and great num- bers of us will be sad and not ap- prove of it; but that is not the issue.

Not because any one wants it, but because it would be,our only salvation.” "After the war, if the allies win, the whale world will ask itself one question: "How did Germany do it.? How did she Make herself into so mar- vellously efficient anorganization that she came within an ace of es- tablishing herself as the world power and imposing her will and her ideals upon all the rest of man- kind? "The world will 'ask these ques- tions not with any idea of emashing e military power that will have ceased to be a menace, but with the intention of copying and utilizing the thinge that have made Germany so great and powerful. What will the answer be? This: , "Long before the rest of the world got onto it, Germany discov- ered tha value of natioeal efficiency. Biernarck, first of all, and then the ruling group in Germany get onto the idea that national efficiency is the only thing on whith, a :weary can build up real end leeting power, and thee it couldonly be attained by bringing about a preetioal work- ing agreement 011 the on,e hand and the great ;meliorations anetth.e peo- ple on the other. Why ehould not the whole world do this? • Real Calve of the War. "One of the real causes of the war is the break -dawn of the intel- leetu,al nea.ebine of the Germans. it got eo that tt could only see things in- terms of force. If you look through the verioue white and blue and yellow papers you will see that the Germans made every peeeible mistake of diplomacy.

Y Knee Joint Rif Three`Years CURED BY NERVILINE. Anyone would marvel at ray emit, - eine writes Me Leonard Lothatn, young man well known about Chat- ham. I inherited a rheumatic ten- dency through my mother's family, and in my early days suftered fright- fully. About three years ago the pain and stiffness settled in my left knee joint. I was lame and walked with a very distinct linm. Nerviline was brought to my notice and I rubbed it into the stiff joint four or five times a day. It dispelled every vestige of pain, reduced the swelling, took Ont the stiffness and gave me the full use of my limb again, I don't believe there is a pain -relieving remedy, not a sin. gle liniment that can compare with Nerviline. I hope every person with pains, with sore back, with lameness, with lumbago, with neuralgia—I do, hope they will try mit Nervillne which I am convinced will quickly ana per- manently cure them." IP Nerviline wasn't a wonderful painless remedy, if .NervIline didn't quickly relieve, if Nervillne wasn't known to be a grand mire for all rheu- matic, conditions, it wouldn't have been so largely used as a family rem- edy for the past forty years.
