MONSTER NA VY GUNS AT FRONT
MAKE HUN FREAK LOOK SILLY
Washington, Oct. 26. Details of
the achievement of the Navy Depart
ment In making available for use on
the western front the great naval
guns which press dispatches have re
ported to be hammering the German
railway centers back of the Oise-
Serre front, were made public last
night by Secretary Daniels.
The navy guns, which have been
In operation since September 16, origi
nally were intended for new battle
cruisers, but a change in the design
of the vessels left the guns unavail
able for that use. Rear Admiral Earle,
Chief of the Navy Bureau of Ordnance,
then recommended that the guns be
sent to the western front and he was
directed to proceed with the desigi
and construction.
The guns were manned and operat
ed by officers and men of the United

SATURDAY EVENING,
States Navy, under command of Rear i
Admiral Plunkett, former director of j
the office of gunnery exercises and en
gineering performance. The first party
of officers ana men to handle the guns i
arrived in Franco June 9; the first
shipments of material left this coun
try June 20, and the entire organisa
tion was completed and ready to move
to the battle front In France late In
August.
The guns are said to throw a
heavier projectile and have a greater
muzzle velocity than any weapon ever
placed on a mobile land mounting.
The weight of the explosive used
with each projectile is many times
greater than that used in the freak
Uennan long-range guns, and in point
of destructive force they are incom
parable.
The organization to man one gun
requires an entire train, including the
gun car itself, ammunition cars, a
crane car, and construction, sand,
timber, kitchen, fuel, workshop, berth
ing and staff radio cars. Many of the
cars were especially manufactured by
the Standard Steel Car Company, and
the locomotives. eighty-three-ton
types with four pairs of drivers, were
built by the Baldwin Locomotive
Works. One car is a complete ma
chine shop, equipped with forge, lathes,
grinders and drill presses. The gun
car as well as the ammunition cars,
are heavily armored, 1,600 square feet
of plate being required.
Plans for the gun mountings as
well as for the trains were worked out
at the Naval Gun Factory in Wash
ington within thirty days, and
tracts were let January 25. The first
gun was completed in April and tests
were held at the Army proving
grounds at Sandy Hook. N. J., the only
field large enough, in the presence of
Armv and Navy officials and represen
tatives of the Allied governments.

New York. Oct. 26.—Dr. Doyal S.
Copeland. city health commissioner,
announced the passing of an amend
ment to the sanitary code, which
makes it a punishable offense for
landlords to fail to live up to con
tracts regarding the furnishing of
heat to their tenants. Dr. Copeland
expressed the fear that wltholding of
heat might be disastrous in spread
ing the influenza. Several thousand
complaints on the subject were re
ceived by the Health Department,
which caused the passing of the
amendment.
STORM BREAKS ON
WILSON'S CALL
[Continued from First Page.]
read the President's statements, that
ho had known front Democratic
Senators for the past six weeks that
Mr. Wilson had promised lie Dem
ocratic National Committee to make
tho appeal, but that he had qualified
his promise by the condition that he
would make It only in an emergency.
For that reason Republican leaders
are inclined to take courage from
Wilson's remarkable action. They
believe the President recognizes the
i desperate plight of his party^
Republican leaders, too. called
attention to the fact that Jlr. Wil
; son cannot have believed that the,
I election of a Republican House of
! Representatives could affect hint ad-
I versely in the management of fne
| war, for even if a Republican House
is elected It would not meet until
' a year from next December, unless
I called by Mr. Wilson In extra session
I after next March, and not even tho
I most hopeless pessimists doubts that
! President Wilson's splendid diplo
j niaey, as shown in his negotiations
j with the German government, can
fail to have brought that government
! to its knees long before the present
I Democratic Congress adjourns. Re
| publican leaders believe that Presi
[ dent Wilson's apprehension is really
I centered in the Senate.
Tnft Will Make Answer
! Ex-President Taft. member of the
I War Labor Board, upon being shown
! the President's political message,
I stated:
"All that I can say js that I em
! phatically disagree with the Presl-
I dent in his views. I hope to express
i my disagreement more fully later,
j Not only will the ex-President have
! more to say upon the subject, but
I now that the President has conte
I squarely to the front with a partisan
plea, the Republican leaders will
! feel justified in entering more fully
• into the political discussion than
| would have been possible otherwise.
; The intervening days before the elec
i tion promise to show one of the
i most intense political campaigns of
i recent times.
1 cannot believe that the Arneri
j can people can be persuaded that tho
j success of the war or the loyal sup-
I port of the President in the conduct
j of the war will be in the slightest
' degree affected by the result of lite
I next election. To deny otherwise Is
to denv the facts of history." Senator
i Knojt, of Pennsylvania, stated.
The statement issued by Republi-
I can leaders in Congress follows:
"Some time ago the President said
•Politics is adjourned.' Now, in the
closing days of the campaign—fle
; layed by the united efforts of ail
parties for the Liberty Loan—now,
when all public meetings have been
given up owing to the influenza cPj"
dernic, the President sends out a di
rect party appeal calling upon Ins
countrymen to vote tor Democrats
because they are Democrats without
' any reference to whether such
| Democrats have been or are in fa-
I vor of war measures and have a war
j record which deserves support.
Repudiates Ford Support
' "The voters of Michigan, to take a
1 single example, are called upon to
support Mr. Henry lord notorious
for his advocacy of peace at any
; price, for his contemptuous, allusions
; to the flag, tor the exemption of his
son from military service —on the
1 sole ground that he will blindly sup
: port the President. The President is
' quite ready to admit that Republi
\ cans are loyal enough to tight and
! die, as they are doing by the thou
i sands; loval enough to take up great
! loans and pay enormous taxes; loyal
' enough to furnish important men at
I no salary on some of the great war
boards in Washington. But they ure
not loyal enough, in the President s
opinion, to be trusted with any share
in the government of the country or
legislation tor It. •
"If the Republican party controls
the House we can point out some of
the things they will do. They will
replace Mr. Dent, of Alabama, at
the head of the military affairs com
mittee with Mr. Julius Kahn, to
' whom the adritinistration was ob-
I Heed to turn for assistance to take
; charge of and carry the first draft
bill against Mr. Dent's opposition.
I They will put a Republican at the
' head of the ways and means cont

stead of Mr. Kitchin, of North Caro

! They will give the country a speaker

vict.'
Republicans I.oyal to War
"Although the Republicans of the !
House are in the minority, they cast
more actual votes on seven great {
war measures than the Democratic'
majority was able to do.' What is'
the record of the Senate? On 511
roll calls on war measures betwpen
April 6, 1917, and the 29th of May, j
1918, the votes east by Republicans
in favor of such measures were 72
per cent., while only t>7 per cent, of
the votes cast on the Democratic
side were in favor of such measures.
Those were the President's own
measures. Does that record look as
if we had hampered him? The Re
pulican party in Congress has sup
ported the administration policies
since the war with a unanimity and j
an absence of criticism unprece
dented in party history.
"There are some domestic ques
tions where we should undoubtedly
differ from the course pursued by
the administration. We should not,
for example, tix a price on the farm
er's wheat and leave the planters of ;
cotton untouched. Another domestic
question in which the Republican
party believes thoroughly in eco
nomic preparation for the coming
of peace and they are clearly of the
opinion that the Congress of the
United States shoul<} not be ex
cluded from that great task.
American People's War
"This is not the President's per
sonal war. This is not the war of
Congress. It is not the war of the
Democratic or the Republican party.
It is the war of the American peo
ple. It is more. It is the war of the
United States, of the Allied powers,
of the civilized world against the i
barbarism of Germany. In this
great burden and responsibility the
Republican party representing more
than half the citizenship of the
country demands its rightful share.
"If the Republican party is en
trusted with power in either or bcUl
Houses they will do cveiytliing pos-.
sible to drive forward the war and j
hasten the day of victory. The Presi- i
With Choir and Organist
The influenza epidemic has played
havoc with musical enterprises in
Pennsylvania. Mme. Louise Homer
was to have sung in Central state
towns, but owing to the epidemic
her appearance has been postponed.
The distinguished singer was book
ed for Chambersburg next month.
Death claimed a choir singer dur
ing the week. Eugene E. Baptisti,
for a number of years bass soloist
at Fourth Street Church of God,
passed away last Tuesday at his
homo in South Thirteenth street. He
was 33 years old. Services were held
this afternoon, but because of the
ban on public funerals associates in
the choir were not able to be pres
ent.
It is learned that several organists
of moving picture theaters in the
city, fearing an extension of the ban
on amusements, have temporarily
secured positions outside the state. It
was said thi* afternoon the absent
ones likely would return when the
epidemic ends and the doors of the
movie places open again to the pub
lic. Harold Booth, the
Colonial, has been at the homfe of his
wife's parents in the Cumberland
Valley.
There scarcely has been any mu
sical activity in town at all during
the past two weeks. Both organ and
voice teachers say many pupils have
been ill, and not a few of the teach
ers have been caught with greater
or lesser severity by the influenza
wave.
George Sutton, baritone of the
Pine Street Presbyterian Church
choir, now is at Newport News in
the service of the army.
Music dealers say sales have fallen
off greatly during the past ten days.
They attribute the change in condi
tions to the prevalence of illness.
Last year at this time stores held
many ciaersi for festival music, but
all this has been. forgotten until
health authorities lift the ban and
choir leaders and singers are able
once more to figure on Advent and
Christmas progams.
Mrs. ¥. D. Clark, lately organist
at Trinity Lutheran Church, Cham
bersburg has been chosen organist
at Second Reformed Church, suc
ceeding Meetch Stroup. Mrs. Clttrk,
who was Miss Nellie McGann, for
merly was organist at this church.
She went to Chambersburg upon the
dent speaks of the necessity of tell
ing the plain truth. That the Re
publican party if! Congress has siip
gress would do 'or they have no
friends to shield. And they will do
more. They will give all the money
to the last dollar pecessary to sus
tain our armies arid our fleets, but
they will check the waste now going
on of the money given by the most
generous people on the face of the
earth.
W ill Press War With Vigor
"The President speaks of the ef
fect of the election abroad. He says
that there they understand the
meaning of elections. They do, and
they will know that if the Republi
cans have a majority in Congress,
the war will be pressed with greater
vigor than ever befre. They are quite
aware that the power of the Senate
is equal to that of the President in
the consummation of peace by treaty.
They will know that the Republican
party stands for a victorious peace
and the overthrow of Prussian mili
tarism. That knowledge will not de
press the spirit of our Allies or en
courage the government of Germany.
"The Republican party believes
that the question of surrender should
be left to Marshal Foch, to the gen
erals and to the armies in the lield.
When they rgport that Germany has
laid down her arms the United States
and the Allies should then impose
their terms. Will that knowledge
cause dejection to those who are
fighting with us? All tho world
knows that the Republican party is
opposed to negotiations and discus
sion carried on in diplomatic notes
addressed to the German govern
ment. The Republican party stands
for unconditional surrender. There
is no Republbican creed so short
that there is not room in it for
thoso two words.

The Test That Tells the Truth'
Below is an illustration of one of the many machines that COI J l "
prise our complete equipment for FORD REPAIR WORK. It is
Motor Test Machine. Its use is to test the motor after it is over
hauled for all kinds of trouble. The engine is set on a frame and run
under its own power for over two hours. The same wires, the
coils and the same appliances that belong to your car go on it in t is
test. It is tested for oil leaks, for any knock or any other trouble I
that may develop. Should any thing go wrong while on this test, it
is a simple matter to remedy it. It is a big labor-saving device, as we
