The First Line Of Warfare

Even as things are today, France
could bring 1000 men an hour into
England by air If 1t we're necessary.
Twenty years hence France will be
able to transfer an army of 100000
linen and guns across the channel with
|25 airships In an hour. Germany will

Though believe she will be forced
Ito discard the hghter-than-air type.
Every first class power viii possess

comparable to the dreadnaughts OF
today, and while nayies must be main
|tained to certain extent, the first
arm both Of offense and defense will
undoubtedly be in the air. I trust
That England will realize this as
speedily as other nations The mill.
Ton which has just been granted for
the air service was needed q year

q good deal Of ridicule at the time.
Each year now must see the air
estimates increased, and there must
he no false economy in the matter OF
retaining old types. Daily now i'm.

ARE coming into existence. Once we
Ican get, as say, engines OF sufficient
power, there Is no limit to what may
be accomplished.
These changes must take timei but

Our National Fire Bill

The national fire loss has been a
subject of solicitude and in the last
few years there has been much dis
cussion of ways and means of reduc.
ing it.
For some years the losses in the
United States and Canada have been
around $225,OO0,000 annually. The
losses for 1918 have exceeded this fig.
ure, aggregating approximately $780,.
100000. For the United States this is
a loss of more than 50 per capita.
Thus, in spite of the fact that cities
are constantly spending more money
for fire protection and that the ques.
ton of fire prevention is receiving
more attention than ever before, the
fires are increasing in cost, if not in
number
Last years losses were larger than
were those Of any recent year except
1906, when the total ran up to $459,
10000. The figures of any given year
hardly represent the actual fire loss
for there are many small fires, inVolv,
ing no insurance, which do not figure
in the record Of losses. Some of the
fires are attributable to carelessness
and others to crfminality. The insur
ance companies themselves, in thefI
anxiety to gather in premiums, take
many bad risks.-Louisville Courier

Production of SuIpluric

The production Of pyrite in the
United States in 1913, according to w.
C. Phalen of the United States geolog.
icaI survey, was 341. 1888 long tons, val
ued at $1,286,084, a decrease of $500
long tons in quantity and Of $48,175 in
value compared with the output in
1912. The production in the leading
states-Virginia and New York-dim-
inisbed slightly; in California there
was an increased production; and in
Wisconsin the output also continued
to increase.
According to actual returns for the
year 1913 the production Of sulphuric
acid in the United States was 1888, $3.50
short tons of so per cent acid, valued
at $22, 1856, 482. This output does not
include small amount of Tuning
acid, but does include by.product acid
that is, acid obtained in the smelt.
er industry. The acid produced at
copper and zinc cmelters in 1913
amounted to 790,296 short tons of 50
per cent acid, valued at $4,346,272
compared with 764,237 short tons, val

Petitions to Congress

protests against a prohibition

something like 10000 petitions sup

States senate Each day brings add.
tional thousands. An even greater
mass of such peti4ons, representing
the membership of organizations con.
corning many millions of American
citizens, has deluged the house COM
mittee which is handling the subject.
Other committees are being flooded
by protests and appeals, but none has
yet reached the stage of interest
shown by the memorials on the pro-
hibition question. At the opening OF
both houses each day the members
have the privilege OF submitting these
appeals and they are then put down
on the Congressional Record, but only
in a brief declaration.
The petitions come from each state
in the, Union from all classes OF citi-
zenship, 3 Occasionally member will
read petition, and then il is printed
in full. If the appeal comes from the
legislature. of the state it is read by
the clerk and printed in full In the
Record. This practice of petition.
ing" Congress seems to be INDUCED in
everywhere and on every subject
known to congressional procedure.
The only difficulty with It is that7it
loses most of its effect by mere vol
ume. The petitions are rarely reHd
and certainly never by anyone except
the member to whom they happen to
be sent-oswald F. Schuette, in
