WARS SOLDERING EFFECT.

Chicago Herald.1
The Turkish explanation has arrived
in an unofficial form and is satisfac-
tory There was nothing hostile in
the incident of firing on the launch
from the Tennessee. The shots were
fired as signals that the port was
closed. rs shots are fired as signals
under certain circumstances across
the bows of vessels. The incident may
thus be regarded as practically closed.
The most significant thing about
the entire affair was the calmness with
which the first report was received in
this country. No one knew at the
time whether the act was hostile or
not No one could foretell what I'M
pleasant proceedings might have to be
gone through with before the matter
was settled satisfactorily. But nobody
got excited about It.
In other days that first report would
no doubt have been the signal for an
uutburst of indignation. The voice of
the lingo demanding punishment first
and investigation afterward would
probably have been heard. The suffi-
cheney of the incident as a casus belll
would have been freely discussed.
Some people would probably have in
sisted that the fleet proceed at once to
lombard Constantinople.
But these days we know better what
war is We understand how much
wiser II is to wait for explanations
than to run forward looking for
affronts. We realize that war is a
most undesirable thing and that no
man foresee the end thereof. In brief,
the terrible conditions prevailing in
Europe have taught even the most
belligerent among us certain sober
ness and understanding.
And we imagine that when the pres
ent war is ended in Europe the pre-
vailing attitude toward such incidents
will also be shown TO have changed
considerably. II we realize what war
is. they realize It a thousand times bet
ter. There will be much less cocki-
ness and much more calmness abroad
than ever before. And the world will
be better for il.

ent enforcement of existing laws to
restrict the sale of poisons should go
FAR toward restricting the abuse of
poisons. The state laws are practically
all different Hardly any two are 1t
all similar.
II is suggested that much of the diff
ficulty OF controlling the sale of pois-
ons might be overcome by the enact
ment OF a national poison law on which
food and drug officials. the postal au-
thorities, the producer. the dealer and
the consumer alike could rely for
guidance and which because of this
fact would go far toward bringing
about an effective enforcement of the
state laws designed to restrict the sale
and use OF the more actively poisonous
drugs in various parts Of the country.
II is also pointed out that dealers do
ing an interstate business would be
benefited by the equalizing force of
such a law

While American navy officers have
watched with critical eyes the deadly
work of torpedoes fired from subma-
rines and OF contact mines in the Eu.
ropean war. nothing has developed as
yet which indicates any radical change
in battleship construction to offer
greater defense against underwater at
tacks.
The problems presented are not
new. They have been studied by naval
constructors of every power since the
Russian-JBpanese war, when many
fine ships fell victim to mines and
torpedoes. Proposals of many sorts
have been discussed. Some have been
adopted; but the theory of warship
building still clings to concentration
of offensive power in .erms of larger
guns, bigger and swifter ships and
wider cruising radius. even at the OK
pense of defensive armor.
The heavy losses sustained by the
British navy by submarine attacks
has brought up for renewed discussion
the subject of armoring the bottoms OF
warcraft. Recent issues of English
service journals have noted n plan to
cover the entlre OOtlom VI d DdttieShip
with four inches of armor plating. IL
was urged that the experiment be
tried with IN old ship which should be-
subjected to actual test with the ex-
plosion against her hull OF the most
powerful modern torpedoes. The ship
also would be driven into contact
mines OF various types to determine
their effect, 4 was said.
American naval experts believe
there is little doubt of the result.
They say four inches of armor would
resist any known torpedo or mine sue
ccssfuIly. To equip a ship in that way.
however. the enormous weight of the
armor would require a reduction in
weight elsewhere. and the only way
it could be accomplished would be 10

STARTING FIRES WITH
KEROSENE.

In the first six months of the year
1914 more people were burned TO death
in the state OF Illinois by starting fires
with kerosene than from any other
cause.
It is an exceedingly dangerous prac-
tice. warns the state fire marshal's
bulletin. So many fatal accidents
we're reported that in some counties
the coroner of the county, who was
called upon 70 investigate these IA
talities, issued warning through the
newspapers calling the attention of
the people 10 the dangerous practice
Of starting fires with kerosene. In the
county of Stephenson five deaths were
reported in the period of one year.
Kerosene should never be poured
from a can into a stove under any
circumstances. A stove may be warm
or there may be a coal of fire left in
il, and in either case a serious ex-
plosion is likely to follow. Besides
the liquid Kerosene in the can there
is always present a highly infiamma-
BILE and explosive gas. If the stove is
warm or a few Goals left in it, this
gas may be ignited and a serious ex-
plosion occur. in which the person
starting the fire is likely to be burned
10 death.
Kerosene starts a fire in hurry. It
produces about six times as much heat
as does wood in burning and IL can be
readily lighted with a match. Conse-
ouently It is unreasonable to expect that
its use in this connection will be en-
tirely discontinued The only reason
ably safe course TO follow if kerosene
must be used in starting fires is to
pour the kerosene on the kindling be
fore placing II in the stove.
Remember, the less kerosene there
is IN the can the more room there is
for the explosive gas and consequently
the greater danger of an explosion.
More than 80 people were burned
10 death in this state last year by
starting fires with kerosene
Never under any circumstances
pour kerosene oil into a stove.

MAKE OUR OWN TOYS.

There is no danger of Christmas
toy famine on account of the Euro
pean war Some kinds of playthings
for which this country has been de-
pendent upon Germany may not be so
abundant as formerly, but American
manufacturers are already producing
toys 10 an annual value almost equal
TO that Of the German imports, and
American children are no longer ex-
clusively supplied from Nuremberg"
says the December Popular Mechanics
Magazine in an illustrated article.
THE center OF the American toy in
dustry is at Winchendon, Mass, where
several OF the most important fac
tories are located. Opposite the rail-
way station in this city is an enormous
hobbyhOrse. and this symbol very
nearly tells the story in regard TO the
city's Industries. Even before the
war broke out. toys of every kind were
being produced IN enormous quaint
ties in this city. These included even
the Noah's arks. which for many years
were turned out exclusively by Ger
man makers. The situation is one
that may result in big change in the
TOY making industry"

Sidelights on the European War

London. Correspondence of the
escapes and deeds of wonderful brav-
cry have been made by the injured
British and Belgian soldiers now re-
covering in English hospitals. A young
lance corporal of the Kings Royal
Rifles, who is recovering from bullet
wound in his knee owes his life to
crucifix which he picked up in an
empty house where he was billeted. A
strange impulse compelled him to
pick up the crucifix and put it in his
haversack.
During an engagement a few days
later many of the corporaPs comrades
were killed by bullets which were al
most spent The young corporal was
hit in the knee and later found when
taken to a hospital that one of the
spent bullets had also passed COM
pletely through his knapsack, but had
been detected from his body by the
crucifix, one of the arms of which had
been broken off by the bullet.
Private w. Hinton of the first East
Lancers poses as the luckiest man in
the army. He was hit by three but
lets within a minute without serious
injury. One bullet fiatteneG five
rounds of ammunition in his belt An
other smashed the magazine of his
rifle and a third passed through his
cap.
A letter from one of the Royal Engi-
neers describes the remarkable pluck
of Lieutenant R. Pottinger of Ted
mouth. Pottinger and his section
were attempting to blow up a bridge
under fire. They laid the charge and
the section retired. Lieutenant Pot
finger and snapper remained be-
hind to light the fuse. The charge
did not explode. The snapper then
fired ten rounds of ammunition at the
charge without success. Pottinger
then said. ''Ill make the thing go off.
He shook hands with the sapper and
walked to the bridge. There he put
the mue;zle of his revolver into the
charge, firing all six cartridges. Even |
then the charge did not go off and the |
men had to fee leaving the bridge in. !
