Railway men say battlefields will be popular this summer. Nobody can travel to the scene of the Licking of the Hohensollerns, so American history will have to supply the thrills right here at home. Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, ties with St Augustine, Florida, for being the oldest settlement on the continent. It looks peaceful enough to have been founded by William Jennings Bryan, but it has suffered twenty attacks, ten of them regular seiges by the Indians, the English, the Americans and the French. The big green lawn with the queer

grassed-over banks and the dinky little eighteenth century cannon with their prim piles of snot, was the pride of Vauban, the great French engineer who drew the plans in the days when the Acadians lived in the pink valley with the blue river in the centre, and the British used to raid north at them from around Boston. Today we can wander from the officers' cruarters where a picturesque old British sergeant lives with bis cat, to the ancient powder magazines, the sallyport, the furnaces where chain shot was heated two little iron balls held together by a couple of links. -

There is a Black Hole underground Erison too, and if the girls are quite rave and pretty the sergeant will turn the enormous key in the lock and let them imagine they're Lady Latour, who fought D'Aulnay de Charnisay, the pirate chief who owned this very fort three centuries ago. Canada nas just about finished raising her promised 600,000 soldiers for the Allies. The Nova Scotia Camp is at Aldershot, not far from Annapolis Royal, and often the warriors of today camp out on the historic battlefields of other times, when the line-up was different, and French and English were on oppesite sides of thegame.

WASHINGTON, June 12. The Italian mission, its work completed, leaves today for a ten days' tour of the country, prior to its departure for Italy.

BOMB TRIAL JURY LOCKED IN HOTEL

SAN FRANCISCO. June 12. The trial of Mrs. Rena Mooney on the specific charge of murdering Mrs. Myrtle Van Loo, one of the victims of the preparedness day bomb explosions of last July was resumed today with Captain Duncan Matheson of the San Francisco police department on the stand. The Jury last night occupied a suite of sixteen connecting rooms in a downtown hotel. It will live there throughout the trial and keys to all rooms are held by two bailiffs. The trial judge occupies nearby apartments. No telephone calls, no visitors, no printed accounts of the trial, no temporary absences of Jurors will be permitted. .This course was adopted. .Judge Em- ' met Seawell said to avoid any suspicion attaching to the acts or motives of any juror. Mrs. Mooney since her trial began apparently has taken little interest in the proceedings. When assistant district attorney Ferrari characterized her as the "lady MacBeth of the conspiracy" she did not look up from the book she was reading. She is a music teacher and two or her pupils, young girls, are with her continuously , in COUrt

Women Angry Over Stories Doubting Outcome of War

"Richmond and Spring Grove women are up in arms over the appearance of stories in the daily newspapers and in the magazines of the country, which give the impression that the United States will lose the war," declared Miss Elizabeth Foulke, a local school teacher this morning. Miss Foulke was expressiong the opinion of hundreds of other persons in this city and in Spring Grove in reference to the tactics of some newspapers of the country in spreading the fear of the country's state of preparedness. This, according to Miss Foulke creates a bad psychological effect on many persons and should not be tolerated. One instance was pointed out where au old lady in Spring Grove actually believed that she would have to take up arms to defend the country and expressed her willingness to do bo. "This country can easily defeat the German nation, or any other nation," Miss Foulke said. "The fear spreading stories of the newspapers should be stopped."

Chevrolet drove 250 miles at an average speed of 102.18 miles an hour without a single stop, defeating such well-known racers as De Palma, Cooper, Mulford. Old&old, Vail, and many others. The showing: of the Chevrolcts at Cincinnati, while a jrrcfct surprise to the crowd, was not kurprising to those who have been following the f reparations they have been making or the past two years. When Chevrolet first brought out his all-aluminum Frontenac car in 1916 at the Indianapolis race, Barney Oldfield was one of those who took . much interest in them and remarked to newspaper men at that time: These cars may not pull down the money today, because they're brand new, but cive them a little time and 111 bet they will bring home the bacon, because they are built on the right principle. The principle which, Oldfield re

ferred to was the principle of the least weight . for the required strength. As a result of this general use of lynite, Chevrolet's ngine weighs only 490 pounds complete and bis Frontenac cars weigh but 1,590 fiounds. Chevrolet carries 40 galons of gas, 8 gallons of oil, 6 gallons of water, and 10 pounds of grease, bringing the total weight without driver and mechanician up to 1,944 pounds or about 300 pounds lighter when fully equipped and carrying its crew than the average car in die Chicago race when empty. The unique feature of the Frontenac car is that the body is sealed from the flywheel back and that the rear axle is enclosed in the tail of the car, giving a perfect stream line to get away from wind resistance and prevent the air from backing up in the tail. An oil tank is mounted in front of the dash and the air that comes through the radiator passes over this

tank and out two vents or down over the crank ease. This helps to keep the oil cool and the free passage of air also permits the use of a radiator half the usual size. In winning at Cincinnati, Chevrolet virtually repeated the surprise that Victor Hemery sprung back in 1905, when he won the Vanderbilt Cup with the Darracq. When Hemery brought the Darracq over in 190a. with a ear ready to race that was under 200 pounds, the other race drivers shook their heads and said it would never stand up under the strain of, the race because of the extensive use of aluminum in its construction. Louis Wagner with a similar car won the classic again in 1906. Since then, there has been great improvement in the production of aluminum alloy and the lynite that Chevrolet has used in his Frontenac can hardly be compared for strength and other desirable qualities with the aluminum alloys of tea or fifteen years ago.
