GREAT WORK OE
? ? v UNCLE SA#TS
;Some idea of the -great work con- 1
fronting the navy when the United
States entered the \yar is set forth in
the annual report of Hear Admiral
?Early; chief or ordnance, made pub
lic' recently, To this bureau alone
fell j&e,~isiik of expending during a
single year more than half a billion
dollars for guns and equipment. .
In discussing "seemingly impossi
ble problems Admiral Early disclosed
that the wry was called upon not
only to am all American war craft
auxiliaries and the merchant fleet,
but t<j provide armament for Britisk
French, Italian, Belgian and Russian
shipping. Guns from three to five
inclr caliber were at a premium and
the demand for them was ten times
greater than the existing capacity for
manufacture. A total of 937 craft of
all kinds, not in the regular navy were I

building . end shiping of the 14-inch
rifles on rialway mounts which effeo
tually hammered the German rear po
sitions in the closing weeks of th* war
and ihe development of a tractor
mount for rifles up to 7-inch caliber
from which: the guns could be $r^d.
This latter iacbievement, never, at
tained by the allied armies, the report
said, was hailed^in Prqooe with even
greter satisfaction than was the a r>
rival of the first 14-inch monsters
comprising the naval batteries.
Failure to obtain a sufficient sup
ply of depth bombs used by American
destroyers tampered efficient operas
tions against enemy submarines. By
strenuous efforts, however the short
age was overcome before the war end'
ed. American destroyers Were using
depth bombs freely, and this
said, aided in curbing German s
rine operations in the dosing i
of the war.

main battery rifles for new , dread

success t that exceeded expectations,

Mr. Denver Hughes, age 42
years, a merchant at Lizzie,
Greene county, and a member
of one' of the' county's mo&
prominent iami lies, was shot
mrough the front window of
his store Thursday about Ae
noon hour by Jim -Ifenry W it*
ren, a young dark ginger cake
colored negro, about 20 years
old, weighing around 150 pounds.
The load from the gun entered
the lower leftsideofr the abdo
men; MetBeal aid was imrne
diately summoned but there
proved to be no chance what
ever and death soon followed.
The negro made good his get a
way and op to this writing has
not been captured, although a
posse of severalhundred citizens
of that section with the assist
ance of Wood hounds from
Raleigh are still in perauit.
It seems the trouble grew out
of an account which the negro
owed Mr. Hughes, when he, the
negro, sent another negro into
the store with a five dollar, bill
to pyrcWwca paek of cigarettes.
Mr. I Hughes'1 asketi the boy if
that wasn'i^iift Warren's money,
