The grey ' battleship seems
strangely deserted and barb, for
her decks are denuded of men,
while all rails and other upstand-
ing incumbrances have bean laid
flat on deck, says London Anewers,
The gun turrets, five -of them, are.

muzzles of their twin weapons
pointing out over the , sea, and
every 'now and then oneof the guns
twitches ever so slightly, at .a tur-
ret revolves a little, as : the gun-.,
layers keep their sights alighted on'
the distant target.
Theten 13.5s the ship carries are
powerful weapons. Each .' one - of
them is. over, 50 feet long, and
weighs 'close on 80 tons, while•their
1,250 -,pound ,shells can 'be hurled to
adistance of over fifteen utiles.
The enormous 'projectiles, . too,
Leave the muzzles at: the rate of
over 1,800 miles an hour, and can
penetrate the thickest armor afloat
at a range of 5,000 yards.
But now, as the ship anoves on
through the, water, with her sharp
bow sending up two little cascades
of spray on each side of the stem,
she looks like a great mastodon Un-
controlled by man, There are no
signs of life on hoard -nothing ex-
cept the twitching gun turrets and
the black smoke rolling from the
squat funnels, which tells of the
men laboring below. But every
man on board is at the station he
would occupy in action, and before
long the uproar of the guns will
have begun.
LI the Conning roger,
with its twelve -inch armor, stands
the captain, his navigation officer,
a midshipman or two, and several
other officers and men. The small,
circular erection, barely ten feet

other armored erection, containing
a range finderand inside this is
the gunnery lieutenant, with hitlf
a dozen more officers and men. He
is surrounded by strange -looking
instruments„ while the man at the
range finder, with his eyes at its
rubber eye pieces, is monotonously
chanting out the distances of the
approaching• target.
To the naked eye the:target.itself
-a great lattice -work structure
towed by another battleship -
looks absolutely small and insigni-
ficant at its six mile range. But
the gunlayers in the turrets are
provided with telescopic sights, and
these, with their powerful lenses,
serve to counteract the difficulty.
Inside the turrets themselves the
expectant men are grouped round
their guns. The great projectiles,
and the, cordite cord t charges behindthem, have already been pushed
home by the hydraulic rammers,
and, since their weapons are thus
fully loaded, the guns' crews are
idle for the time being.
But the gunlayers-the men who
aim and fire the guns -and the
trainers -those who keep them
pointing in the right direction -are
anxiously keeping the sights on the
target, and every now and then,
as they move their.small brass han-
dles, there is a wheezing of hydrau-
lic machinery, and ,the great
breeches rise and fall ever so
slightly, while the whole armored
structure containing them revolves
an inch or so at e time to keep
the sights on.
A. Minute or Tem Tatter,
after an order has come through
from the.eontrol,pasition, the lieu-
tenant. in charge of the foremost
turret suddenly raps out the order :
"Bring both guns to the ready 1"
The men standing by the breech-
es flick: over theirsmall levers.
"Right gun ready ! Left gun'
ready !" they report in rapid suc-
cession,
Therange, meanwhile, is de-
creasing rapidly, and about ten
second% later there comes the stri-
dent rattling of an electric bell.
It is the signal' to open fire. The
gunlayer holds his breath, sees the
MSS wires of his telescope cutting
the latticework of the target, and
then presses an innocent -looking
brass thumbpiece.• As he does so
there is a roar and, with a blaze of
ori ge flame and a pail of brown
smoke, a projectile weighing more
than half a ton is sailing through
the air on its way towards the tar-
get.
Outside the turret the comes

sloe is terrible, but inside it is
barely felt, .and, the only means
the gun's crew have of knowing
their weapon than:gone off is by the
rocking of the turret and there-
coif or the gun. Beek she 'slides:
with the water whistling and gurg-
ling through the hydraulic valves
far below. She stops, and then as
the running -out springs'exert, their
strength, is driven back to the fir-
ing position.
The men, 'meanwhile, are working
like demons: Some one, by moving
a small lever, whicth actuates a hy-
draulic engine, has opened the
breeche, A cloud of acrid cordite
smoke fills, the turret, but another
man, turning a tap, sends. a jet of
water spouting into the chamber to

and a flexible chain hydraulic ram-
mer, looking like a, snake, darts
out of its resting place and pushes

thud. The rammer is withdrawn,
another handle is pulled end two
enormous brown cylinders of ocr-

realize what has happened, the

DESTROY GERMANY'S '1`RA.Dlf.
Nations Whom She Is Fighting
Were Her Best Customers.
Cables from London showing that
efforts would be made by the Brit-
ish Board of Trade to rapture Ger-
man's_Eoreign trade, lend interest
to an analysis of Germany's trade
position.
Last year, the German Empire
had a foreign trade of $5,200,000,-
000, of which imports amounted to
$2,675,000,000 and,exports $2,500,-
000,000. The great bulk of this
trade was transeeited with the
'gauntries wit.b which Germany is
now -at war. Eighteen per cent. of
'her foreign trade was with Great
Britain, which with the tbusiness
she transacted with France, Russia
and Belgium andl,5ervia, constitut-
ed .the major portion of her foreign
brade.
The business transac&ed by Ger-
many with overseas countries such
as the United States and South
America will be 'lost owing to the
fact that she has now lost her mer-
chant marine. This means that
practically her entire foreign trade
will be wiped out and ts'he will be
fareed to start all over again.
Last year, Germany did a total
business of $850,000,000 with Great
Britain, $550,000,000 with Russia,
$312,000,000 with France, and
$270,000,000 with Belgium. Her
trade with the Balkans wits also
considerable, so that out of Ger-
many's total trade easily one-half
was carried on with the four or•
five countrieswith which She is at
war. Of her •remhin•ing'trade, the
bull: is carried on with the United
..States and South America, the ma-
jor portion of which she will lose
through the destruction of her
merchant marine, The lees of her
colonies end -the injury to her pre-
stige in the Far East means that
still further inroads will; be made'
upon her coeumence.
Germany does an annual trade
of $570,000,000 with the United
States, but as she cannot both fight
and abrade, other nations .wi'll cap-
ture the bulk of this bntsnicas, Ger-
many also does $450,000,000 worth
of trade in South America, ,but al-
ready aggressive campaigns 'tore
being .started in the United. States
to capture this Ibu'siness from the
German, Alitogether, Germany,
stands to lose vastl,v more by this
war tlhen,she has gained in the
forty -four years of • peaceful (level-
opment.

What is to be especially noted is
the high efficiency of the British

Not only were two of their num-

Died Bravely For Their Country

The Daily Mail's Copenhagen cor-
respondent telegraphs that the Ber-
lin newspapers are filled with
stories of how prominent German
officers fell on the battlefields,
Prince Frederick of Lippe cried as.
he fell, grasping the regimental
standard, "Save the flag!" The
noblest families in Prussia, are.
mourning the loss of some of their
members. . Among the slain are
Baron Joachim von Speck and
