ufactured. fastened by Lessons of
European War.

NEW YORK, Nov. "a Washington
dispatch to the New York Tribune
says:
Though the war department is I'M
prepared for war in respect to artil-
lery, the progress in ordinnce made by
the other nations is compelling atten-
ton in Washington. The marvellous
work being done by the Germans with
heavy siege guns in battering down
the defenses of Liege, Namur, and Ant
werp is leading this country to take
some steps toward the manufacture Of
more powerful types Of artillery for
siege purposes than are now available.
Advantages as to Mobility.
At present the largest American
siege guns are of 6-inch calibre. These
are excellent siege weapons, but of
minor destructive power compared
with the German guns. They have a
distinct advantage as to mobility, and
in view of the condition of the roads
in many parts of this country, would
be usuable where large guns would not
do.
Years Before Big Guns Are Ready
The ordnance department of the
army already has prepared plans and
specifications for 9.6-inch siege gun.
1t is the understanding, too, that plans
and specifications for still larger siege
howitzers will be evolved.
1t is long way, however, from the
preparation of plans for such guns to
their construction. 1t will be years be-
fore any of the large siege guns could
be manufactured.

SWEDEN FORGETS
WAR FOR POLITICAL
ELECTION At HOME
(By Associated Press.)

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 9.-The result Of
the general election, through which
the Socialist party became the largest
one in the Second Chamber, has been a
general confusion regarding which
party is to form the new cabinet when
the war is over.
The Socialists declare themselves
not willing to take the responsibility
but would like the Liberal party, which
was beaten in the election, to form
the new government, well knowing
this this would mean Socialistic policy
by means of a Liberal cabinet, as the
Liberals, not being able to carry their
opinion in division, would be quite
dependent on the Socialists or Con-
servatives. The Socialists on the other
hand, Notwithstanding the fact that
they count one vote more than the
Conservatives, will not be able without
the support of the Liberals to accom-
plish anything in Parliament. The
Liberal party being now the smallest
in the second chamber has solemnly
declared that in no circumstances,
either in alliance with the Conserya-
tives or with the Socialists, will it be
willing to form the new cabinet. All
parties prefer waiting in opposition in
the hope of growing stronger.

TROUSERS LEG ASYLUM OF 4
A RAT; MAN REMOVES EN-.
BOYS STEAL EN-

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Adventures to-
day attended the brief journey into
South street of Archibald Greene, of
Cambridge, Mass, on his way to the
United Fruit Line pier to inspect the
stateroom of the steamship Garlic, in
which he is to sail tomorrow Tor Ja-
macia.
AS Greene was passing saloon the
bartender stepped out with trap full
of rats, followed eagerly by Bum"
the dog mascot of the United States
revenue cutter Calumet. Greene stop
ped to see the fracas. The seventh and
last rat eluded the dog and ran up
Greene's leg. Bum" leaped at the
concealed rat and caught the leg.
Greene stayed the progress of the
rat at his knee, and held off the dog.
Two small boys ran up. At their sug-
gestion, and with their aid, Greene
slowly slipped his trousers of, all the
while holding the rat, so it could
neither bite him nor escape.
One of the boys shook the rat out of
the trouser leg, and Greene became so
greatly interested in BUNS dexter
our attack on the rat that he did not
notice what became of the two boys
and his trousers.
Sympathetic longshoremen gather
ed about him, forming a screen
against the vulgar gaze, while the
! bartender went back to the saloon
and brought long apron. In this
Greene went to the nearest clothing
store. Greene's tickets for Jamaica
were in his trousers pocket.
