Superior speed waa brlnKlne the
Brliieh minuie by minute closer to the
Germans, who were trying to escape
from superior run power. The German
hope waa to draw the British onto a
secret mine field: but this the British
bad located with their swift scouts,
which we lack. The shots that hit are
the shots that count and the shot that
count most are thosa that are delivered
first. Ten minutes' fire may put any
modern alilp out of action. One lucky
broadside may.

The Germans were outeunned: they
had far lo mo. They could not escape
the auperior speed of the British. Hip
per knew that If tbe thine kept up the
German bailie cruisers would be On
l.hed. But he had another card to
play hi flotilla of fast destroyers,
which we lack. Ha sent them In a
sea charge acalnst the British, boplne
to send a torpedo home. But the heavy
torpedo defense batteries of four-Inch
runs of tha t.lon. the TIeer and the
Princess Koyal sent thrm back. The

the Derffllnaer were on lire: the 1J.S

won. when a chance shot 'struck the

knots, now had the speed of her. These
hlehwaymen. auarrlllaa, knlcht er

would not hare for we lack scasolnc
submarines.
Through Ihrlr periscopes the eyes of
German commanders lighted at the

of 10-knot destroyers, which we lack:
and these, turning almost In their

BUENA VISTA, Or., Dec 11. (Spe
cial.) The entire Pantlam Island, oppo
site this place, is to be converted into
a peppermint farm at the beginning of
the Spring of 1916, according- to plans

subsided to pla- the ground in shape,
for cultivation in due time for plant
ing. The island contains over a half
section of usable land, and the soil is
declared ideal" for the new project.

tions will completely dissolve and en-
rely dtroy every single sign and
trace of It, no matter bow much .dand

and fl a hundred times better.
