THE WEEKS NEWS EPITOMIZED

First tests OF the new rapid fire
Lewis gun. which weighs only twenty
five pounds, fires 500 shots minute
and is designed so 1t can be used ad-
vantageously from an aeroplane, wero
conducted at Fort Myer and were high
ly successful.
An international maritime confer
ence and the immediate equipment OF
all United States army transports with
| llife-saving apparatus were provided for
in bills passed unanimously by the

With the probability of war with
Mexico and possibly with Japan immi-
nent, comprehensive and peculiar
plans for the organization of a great
aerial army, powerful enough to defend
the entire coast line of the United
States, the Philippines, Hawaii and
Panama, are now complete in the De-
partment of War.
While busily engaged in probing an
acciden. to British ship and laying
bare negligence in the matter of life
saving contrivances that has caused
deep criticism throughout the land, the
Senate committee, investigating the
sinking of the Titanic, has suddenly
found itself in the delicate position of
the little boy who threw stones at
other peoples houses and himself lived
in house of glass. In a word, it has
suddenly discovered that the safe
guards surrounding citizens of the
United States when afloat in boats be-
longing to the United States are even
more deplorable than those upon the
White Star liner. The United States
army transport service, a service
which annually transports thousands
OF soldiers from ports in the United
States to ports in our foreign posses
sions, is wholly negligent in this re-
spect.
The House ordered an investigation
by the judiciary committee of the con-
duct of Judge Robert w. Archibald OF
the Commerce Court, to determine
whether he should be impeached on
charges that he has used his office to
procure favors from railroads. The
committee will report its conclusions
and recommendations to the House.
The charges were made by Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Meyer and
investigated by Attorney General
Wickersham, who transmitted his
finding to the judiciary committee for
further investigation.
