exodus of officehelders from the old-style

fect In the past Of making the property
owners think. There will be a time In the
near future when Washington street VIII
nave none OF the small ancient buildings
tnet now spoil its appearance.
Ihe new federal building is going 10
raise the price of real estate surrounding
IL, but hardly think that IL will cause any
great growth Immediately on either North
Pennsylvania or Meridian streets. Small
buildings might go up along Pennsylvania
street. and Ohio street will Undoubtedly be-
come more active. but nothing big will be
located on either street / think My OBJ
seryation has been that a public building
rather hurts property adjacent to 1t than
helps IL. As an example. look at the court
house and StatehouSe. Where merchants
only have one side of the street TO draw
from they don't get the trade they would
otherwise. and seem to know IL IL the
squares of Washington street in front OF
the courthouse and the Statehouse indicate
anything.

prejeetiles Of this class. The problem of
giving a sufficiently strong impact TO in
sure long fight without exploding the ma
terial with which the shell is loaded has not
been perfectly met. But progress along
that line is rapid. and in the next war we
may be reasonably certain that high ex-
plcsives will be thrown from powerful guns
at long range. Various suggestions have
been made that noxious gases may be
used in the future for some forms OF shells.
Humanity will probably not admit the en-
ployment Of such forms of offensive war
fare, but / certainly believe that some
form OF gas which produces insensibility
will be developed as the airship comes into
use, and perhaps before.
have no doubt that soon electric infiu-
ences will be projected and that the metal
work of an enemys guns may be able to
transmit shocks TO those serving them. The
most important factor We have at present
to influence the future navy is the sub
marine boat. Ii is a popularity of this new
addition 10 our fighting force that its infiu-
ences will be outside itself. BY that mean
that, so far as the submarine boat Is con-
cerned, IL is at the very outset practically
perfect craft. Such changes as will be
brought about by its enrolment in the navy
will be in the conditions TO which 1t is ep-
posed.
