Sreat Strides Made in Its

't- ediately the British agents

o rv best gun factories In the
' - ted States were now given con-
for the manufacture of the new
T- h Knfield rifle. The Immediate
was an unexpected delay. The
' - f-'can manufacturers were com-
'rt. but it took much longer to
n'te a quantity production of rifles
-a- -nvone had realised. It was
vm-.y a'vear and a half before lines

R?re difficulty that the British en-
"tered at the beginning. In to1

There were eur own regular fmy
-pr r.pfield rifles of .39 caliber. We
ad about TOO.000 of them on nana

rapar.ty of about 1500 rifles a day.
-ohleh was enough to supply the
ro-mal wastage on the 700.000.

o' producing the British Enfield rifle

r t-e Springfield rifle we had a
r.'iderable supply on h and. but
could not produce quantities If we
rranufaetured the British rifle and
snmunltlon. we would be unable to
sunplv ammunition for our Wrlng-
fieMs and the 700.000 rifles of that
"iake would have to go to the scrap
Accordingly the decision was
-cached to altar the design of the
n-itish Enfield that It would shoot
the American :0 caliber cartridge
it was this change In design that
caused all the delay all the coritro-tc-sv.
and all the charges that we

It was decided upon however by
f-e leading rifle experts and manu-
facturers of the United States and Its
w.dom seems to be demonstrated by
the 'act that we are now producing

Experts pronounce this new Amsrl-
m Knfield one of the best of mod-
. -n r'fles. In a test which comprised
e firing of 50.000 rounds of lis-
- umtlon. there wr only three f
-idents and two of those were due to
be carelessness of soldiers In setting
crt in the muzzles of their guns.
It appears that there is a tendency
for this rifle to burst owing to the

obamoer is subjected when the piece

Ninety three Y. M. f. A. stations
hae been destroyed or captured in

Americans carried with them as much
of the supplies and equipment as pos-
sible leaving little to fall into the
hands of the Germans. Three Y ware-
houses were burned by Y officials to
prevent the stores tn them falling In
the hands of the Germans.

dered splendid service are several

so that they can make frequent In-
spections similar to those made of
coast and field artillery pieces. By
these precautions the number of acci-
dents have been reduced to an al-
most negligible percentage.
The rifle problem is not only that
of supplying each man with a rine
but of keeping him supplied. The
wastage of rifles used to be calcu-
lated at about 40 percent a year but
in this ar it has often been muoh
higher. To be on the safe side there
must be produced at least two rifles
every year for every man who carries
a rifle. Every sudden retreat means
a heavy loss of arms..
Genaaay Well Snpfilled.
The making of rifles as of other
war materials has been an Immensely
costly race between the nations. In
the Spanish-American war some ot
our regiments were still equipped
with the old black powder Springfield
a powerful arm but having a poor
trajectory. Then came the Krag-
Jorgensen. and it was followed in
1903 by the American Springfield.
Kach of these changes meant the
selling of enormous quantities of the
old rifles at a fraction of what it
coat to make them. They are usually
auctioned off and are then resold by
dealers at low prices to various state
and municipal militia units to mili-
tary schools and to some extent to
sportsmen.
Having an adequate supply of rifles
has bean one of Germany's great ad-
vantages and lack of them one of the
great handicaps ot the allies. Al-
though England and France after a
brief period of confusion succeeded
in supplying their needs neither
Russia nor Italy has ever had enough
riflea Had it been possible to sup-
ply these nations properly the Rus-
sian collapse might never have oc-
curred and the great Italian retreat
most probably would have been
avoided.

THE ONLY GIRL WHO EVER BEAT RASPUTIN THE
"HOLY ONE OF RUSSIA" NOW USES HER GUITAR
VOICE TO COLLECT FUNDS FOR RUSSIAN RED CROSS
- a
NEW 10RK. June it A strikingly
handsome figure a mass of the
most beautiful doss cropped raven
black hair and a contralto voice of
the very purest quality coupled with
a charming personality is a womanly
combination which easily could con-
trol the destinies of any country.
Vera Smirnova Is the possessor of
all the above mentioned gifts.
Her voice opened up the portals of
the most exclusive of the exclusive set
in the old regime of caar Nicholas.
Society folk of the overthrown gov-
ernment vied with one another In
having her present at their entertain-
ments and dukes and princes were on
such intimate terms with her that she
called them by their christian names.
IJttle wonder then that as the
lioness of Russian society she came
to meet Rasputin that most mystic
personage whose wish was law.
The story and Incidents that led to
the death of "the Holy Confessor" of
the ruling family of Russia are so
well known now thst nothing could
be gained to retell them.
Tt might be apropos however to
tske up one of the threads which was
never woven into the often told story
telling of the death ef Rasputin.
Orgte of "Holjr Cmiriwr.
There was a small coterie of ballet
dancers who were members of the
Imperial opera house at Petrograd.
The members of this coterie were on
the most intimate terms with the
"Holy One." and many stories have
been" told of the orgies at which they
and Rasputin threw caution to the
winds and indulged In things that
would pale the saturnalia of the
orgies of ancient Rome.
The wife of one of the grand dukes
had issued invitations to a grand ball
given In honer of her cousin who had
just returned from the front with
wounds received in battle. Rasputin
of course was to be present.
Vera Smirnova had been invited as
one of the honored guests and she
was to render the Russian gypsy
songs for which she was famed.
All went along as scheduled. The
affair waa one of the successes of the
sesson. There were more jewels worn
on this occasion than had ever be-
fore been seen at a smilar affair and
it promised that the grand duchess
had promoted tne most successiui so
cial gathering or tne season.
HaMmtln On Drank.
Someone discovered that the most
powerful person in the domain was

absent. Then someone else discovered
that they knew just where the "Holy.
One could be reached.
An automobile was sent to a certain
afldress in a certain street where cer-
tain people in the know all class
knew that Rasputin haM court when
not otherwise engaged. The chauffeur
had no difficulty In finding the place
but he arrived at the very height of
the orgv The man to whom all
Russia looked as to the Savior hiru-
'f was horeles'y bemujd!d with
flr-nk. it b i-i forgotten all about
the grand duchess" affair and It took
Mih de-ab!e persuasion on the part
of the chauffeur to make him under--md.
It w.ts onK nfter Rasputin
ad been doused with seeral pails
of ice cold water that he could be
made to understand that he was
wanted by the grand duchess. He
ias still flushed with the wir.es he
hH consumed when he arried.
His dazed condition was attrinutea
to the fact that he had been com-
muning with the departed saints as
vould be the wont of such a holy
person as was Rasputin.
Loathed by Singer.
Vnr manv months he had cast
longing eyes on Vera who is the Rus
sian personification 'i an mat is
beautiful. Vera loathed his very
presence. She had shown him in
manv wa s how much she detested
him but he had been rebuffed by
manv others in a higher station in
life 'than her own but always they
had fallen under ma nypnonc eyes.
So he waited like a cat waits for a
mouse. After the entertainment when
the guests were separated into pairs.
Vera was left for a moment alone.
The "Holy One" had been waiting for
this verv moment. Mile. Smirnova
hi ill believes it was all prearranged.
Rasputin asked her to come with him
tA the conservatory.
Unwilling to offend her hostess In
her own home she flolowed. Then
there ensued a struggle between hyp-
notism and the wits of a strong
weman. All seemed to go in favor of
the "Holy One" and he was already
gloating over another victim to be
added to his scores when Mile. Smir-
nova broke the hynotlc spelL

Angered beyond control by her nar-

his flowing beard and rained blows
upon blows on him until he pleaded
with her to ceaae. It was only when
she was utterly exhausted however
that she did so. Rasputin's face was

The true significance of the mes-
sage did not dawn on Vera until tbe
historic day when the shot that star-
tled all Russia was fired some say
by Yousoupov himself some say by
a group of daring men of which the
prince was a member and the life of
Rasputin was snuffed out as is tho
life of a mad dog when it is killed by
a well directed shot.
In a small circle of selected ones
it was known that two shots were
fired at the end of a festival where
prince Yousoupov and Kasputin
were the honored guests. When the
soldiers entered the salon of the beau-
tiful home where the murder was com
mittee they found tbe aeaa ooay ok
prince Yousoupov"s favorite dog on
the body of Rasputin. Pinned to the

or not prince Yousoupov's dog had

throws light on th subject.

to Mile. Smirnova and Informed her
of the death of the 'Holy One." This
was exactly 41 hours alter ne naa toio

within that time.

when there is no money fortheora-
ng for the laundry why not negie
to send it? A lack of clean linen may
perhaps be a more effectual appeal
ih.n .nh.r tears or entreaties.
In a somewhat slmllal ease the hus-
band of a woman who wrote me sev-
eral times had a habit of doling out
pitifully small sums for household ex-
penses. He would strip one or two
dollars from the outsid- of his "wad
and. with all the anguish he might
have displayed in having himself
bodily skinned present them.
There was never money enough to
run the house and the wife Invar-
iably made up the deficit from a
small income which she was fortun-
ate enough to have. This continued
until the wifely worm decided to
turn. And the next time her husband
told her he was bringing home friends
to dinner and aocomp-.nied the an-
nouncement by laying a couple o.

u.r namirious helnmeet could
hardly wait till his friends all offl-
errs of the concern that employed
him had gone before be demanded
an explanation.
He got it. Hia wife took out pen-
cil and paper and showed every penny
duly accounted for; Indeed sh was
15 cents short and thie sh con-
tributed. "But how did you manage
so well before?"
"I didn't manage: I donated. Now
I am investing every penny I have
in Liberty bonds."
I wish I could report that an Im-
mediate conversion followed but it
did not. She kept strictly within the
amount her husband gave and the
road to that gentleman's conversion
was via his stomach-
In time he grew weary of tripe
liver and herring and It nerved him
finally to strip his roll deeper than
the first outer cuticle. At least be
bas this compensation for his suffer-
ings: ho know what provision cost.

Such esses are hard to understand
Why should a man seek to humiliate
the -woman he has chosen before all
other women? Why will he permit a
niggardly Impulse bequeathed doubt-
less by some unworthy ancestor to
triumph over hia better nature his
wife's affection the very foundation
of his home? Why does the little
power derived from holding th purse
strings compare with what a loses
in the way of loyalty lov and faith?
