Why ha waa named Archibald, no

thouaand aircraft guna In tha British
army every one would be known aa an
Archibald. When tha - Brttlah expedi

All the British could do waa to bang
away at Taubea with thousands of round
of rifle bullet, which mlgnt fall In their
own llnea and with tha field guna.
It waa pie in thoas day for tha Taubca.
It waa eaay to keep out of range of
both rifle and guna and obeerve well.
It the Oermana did not know the prog

It waa their own fault Now tha buelne
of firing at Taubea I left entirely to
Archibald. "When you aea how hard It

Archibald, who la quit the aweHeat

taken their place. All tha romance and
risk of scouting la theirs. They get moat

It takee two second. Bay. for the haU

can spot hla ahot. Ninety mile aa hour
is a mil and a naif a minute. Divide
that by forty and you have about 100
