' Yesterday evening the child fell down a. 65-foot well and Lieuten ant Foote, .hearing the screams from by-standers, went to the spot. The child could be heard splashing and screaming- below. Foote removed his coat and short and, encircling an iron pipe thru which water was., pumped slid down the distance. Ten feet .. of water was in the well and the child had - sunk. Hft forced his way down and grasped it bring ing it unconscious to the surface. Then he took off his- suspenders and making an improvised - rope bound the unconscious child to him and climbed 65 feet up the pole, reaching the top exhausted.: By standers thought the child deed; but Foote did not lose time, and laying out' the ' child, resorted to the well known methods of resus citation as taught him in military services After prolonged period the" breath of Hfe-came and went normally and. color again came to the nallid cheeks. 1 T ' NoKa bone was ' broken in the fall, but Foote, dxave car to Dan ville witirhe. mother ; last night and a physician made an' exami nation and found nothing Wrong.

The order of the state corporation commission yesjterday putting into effect new intra-state freight rates of 25 per cent on excess baggage and 20 per cent for milk does not indicate that the commission intends to recede from its former position of oppos ing the re-opening of the case in which the discrimination in favor of the Virginia cities was removed.

Will Have Fastest and Most Powerful Fleet Afloat, Surpassing G. B, In 1923 (By HARRY B. HUNT) Washington. Aug. 28. -"A navy second to none." That was the goal announced byN Secretary of Navy Daniels five years ago in discussing the desired future strength . of America on the seas. -, Today, according to the French naval authority D'Arthaud, writing in "Le Vie Maritime et Ftuviale' that accomplishment Js in sight if m fMBturtk aiai la MHamllv a navy's strength, as is generally accented, is measured by the ton nage, speed and gun power of .her capital ships. For with ships already commis sioned and under course of con struction. Uncle Sam will have,, in 1923,' the fastest and most power ful lighting fleet afloat, surpass ing both in speed and gunpower the capital fleet of Great Britain. -. Sir Kinlock Cooke and Col-F.

And of thislonnage, 16 ahips, with an aggregate displacements 650r 600 tons and a minimum speed of 21 knots, will carry-a total of 152 16-inch guns the most powerful shooting ironsv afloat. f There is some question of re placing the 16-inch guns on two of the 33 Va knot battle cruisers with 18-inoh guns. As this" would increase the weight of guns, tur rets and firing equipment by 75 per cent, thereby . necessitating an in crease in displacement, reduction of the number of guns or decrease in speed, it js improbable this change will be made. ; , . The lineup, then ,of capital ships, and the rapid increase.in size, speed and gunpower,is shown as follows: , Capital Ships in 1914: 2 Michigan, 16,000 tons; 18.5 knots; 8 12-inchf;uns.

New Yorkj 27,000 tons; 21 knots; 10 -14-inch guns. . - Nine otBer dreadnoughts were being completed or were ut on the stocks during the first years of the war. i The Tennessee, the last of this series, has recently been completed. . These are: ' " ' 2 Nevada; 27,000 tons; 20.5 knots ; 10 14-inch guns. 2 Pennsylvania; 31,400 tons; 21 knots; 12 14-inch guns. 3 New Mexico r ZZfiOQ tons; 21 knots; 12 14-inch guns. Following Daniels' " declaration for the v most . powerful navy afloat" and "a navy second to none," the secretary in 1916 caus ed the Naval Board- to draw up an extensive plan of naval devel opment. This program was adopt ed by Congress when, following the battle of Jutland, it appeared that the European war might end without the crushing of Germany's naal power end while the threats made by the Kaiser to Ambassa- FRENCH MRS.

These are mostly of 1200 tons, carry, four-5-inch sruns and twelve 21-inch torpedo .launching tubes Uncle Sam s strength in submar ines is somewhat shrouded in se crecy, but many properly be esti mated) at about 150 to 160. Heavy Gun Policy. , .Perhaps the most significent fact in the development -of the American navy, according to D' Arthaud, aside from the-rapidity with which it has forged ahead of the English navv in fast, 'heavily- armed battleships, is the general tendency in America to increase the caliber of our heavy guns. The naval board gives as reas ons for this increase the fact that with the increase m caliber the trajectory becomes flatter and that in the Jutland battle it was shown that the" destructive action of a heavier projectile was much greater in practice than had been calculated. . " The initial speed of the projec tile in guns of larger caliber is reduced only to a slight degree, but sufficiently to diminish erosion and deterioration of the bore of the gun, the life of the latter be ing thereby -prolonged. The question Undoubtedly will be raised, now that Uncle Sam is taking the lead over England in heavy fighting units, whether or not we are centering our strength on a type of vessel that is becom ing obsolete. : ; -: ; , England doubtless will point to the fact that she has abandoned the buildipg. of capital.' ships, of the dreadnought and battle crui ser type, and is centering her fu ture program on, the development of more heavily armored cruisers, A sister ship ! to the ; "super dreadnought" battle 'cruiser Hood was stopped in course-of construc tion, as a result of what British navaj experts believed ' to be the lesson of the battle of Jutland. -.. American naval , r authorities, however, after the most careful study "of the Jutland affray, were convinced that the heavily armed, speedy capital ship remains the keystone and chief strength of any, navy. .Many changes in detail of armoring, arming, etc., were adopted, which are being carried out on ships now building, but the basic theory of the relative values of fighting types was unchanged. : The strength of a navy, they PRICE TWO CENTS MING HAS I E Would Put Teeth in; tKe - Hague Tribune.; ;; OR REVISE LEAGUE ; Says League is Irredeem-, , able Failure. kv ; Declaration Made .on Front Porch ' to Group of- Indian Republi can, Covering uis Positicn on Foreign Relations.
