Industrial Era For Us.

Fifteen million men in the field will
use apparel about three times as fast
as when peace prevails. The equip
ment of 100000 horses is no small
item and means steady equipment of
supplies and food for this vast army.
Europe can not fight and meet these
requirements simultaneously.
The more one of our industries is
taxed the greater the activity which
will be reflected upon others 1t is
the history of war that the first shock
produced dullness, but upon recovery
industry doomed and prices scared
There is reason to believe that history
will repeat itself and as the waste and
demolition exceed any previous dem
onstration the sources of supply must
be looked to to meet the inevitable
demand.
We are at peace, the greatest indus
trial nation; we have the mills, the
farms, in short, the equipment wanted
In spite of fear we must be busy fol
ourselves and for others. Some i'm
portant materials we may lack, bu
we will be ingenious enough to evolve
adequate substitutes.-Fiber and Fab

esrbed Wire In Warfare.

Russia is in the market to purchase |
from US 5000 tons of barbed wire TO |
be used in military operations. The
effectiveness OF barbed wire entangle
ments as defense measures has been
demonstrated repeatedly since our
war with Spain. They were brought
into use then with much success and
were very effective as a part Of the
Russian defenses at Port Arthur in
the war with Japan. The Russians
probably have in mind their expert
ence In the far east and are hoping
to make equally good use of the wire
they would purchase in this country.
The Russian entanglements before
Port Arthur consisted of four parallel
lines of three-strand fences about
three feet high. The fences were
about 10 feet apart and zigzag lines
Of barbed wire were strung back and
forth between the fences. And in ad-
dition large quantities of loose coils
and pieces of wire were scattered on
the ground The combination was al
most an impossible barrier. 1t was
| found that the japanese could not
make progress by cutting the wires.
II they got through the first fence
they became entangled in the wire on
the ground If they we're not shot down
before reaching the second fence.
The Japanese tried the expedient OF
having their soldiers charge with mat
tresses which they threw on the
fences. That was only partial sue
cess, as many men became helpless
in the ENHANCEMENT of loose wires on
the ground. The entanglements fl
nally were disposed of by pulling ur
the posts and dragging the fences
away under cover of darkness. but II
was long and costly task for the at
tacking force.
The use of wire entanglements Is
valuable as a defense measure anC

tanglement which would keep an army
