BETTER THAN THE DOLE. The bero of these accounts is,. however, a certain Army officer, who was lent to the Admiralty in June, 1915, to develop an auto- matic rifle of which he was the inventor. Pay and allowances were issued to him from the Army, and recovered from the Admiralty..
In April, 1916, the Admiralty informed the officer that they would not proceed further with the matter They did not inform the War Office, or the accounting branches. of the Admiralty, nor did they officially terminate the officer's employment.
As a result he went calmly and peacefully on receiving pay and allowances and working on his invention until December, 1920! Then someone woke up, but they [couldn't get the money back. Altogether this remarkable inven. tor cost £3350 108 · 6d. in these four years. It is not known what became of the gun.

She was statione di at St. John's, Newfoundland, ip 19047, and berthed at the wharf of a private company The rental in 1912 rose to four dollars a day. No more men were enrolled after the Armistice but the full ship's complement was maintained at a cost of £12,000 a year,
In May, 1920, the wharf-owners stared they would charge 100 dollars a day for wharfage, and it was not until February, 1920, that it was decided the wharf was | 100" expensive and that the vessel could just as easily be moored in the harbour. Bat she stayed at the wharf until April. 1922, when the wharf-owners claimed 59.500 doilars for rental. The claim was settled for 8,000 dollars, and the Admiralty sold the ship.
