WHY WOMEN WANT THE VOTE.

Women are working for open acknowl-
edgment of an inner revolution. They
are trying to publish and register the
fact that they have changed In attitude,
and that society welcomes the change
1t Is to them a question of their stand
ing. a matter OF prestige and recognized
power. They desire the vote not because
It will solve more than part Of their
problems. but because winning 1t is a
way OF saying aloud to n democracy that
women are In new world, that they
know 1t, and are preparing to deal with
it. That Is why they pour out their
strength to achieve the ballot which
most male voters use so poorly. II the
average man were treated his life long
as n child, doll. an inferior, fenced in
by prejudices, not listened to In affairs
that concern him. and regarded generally
as n weak, pleasant, casually important
creature of holidays and evenings and
imagery, he too would look about for
some symbol by which to proclaim his
human value to the world, Women have
fastened on the vote and made 1t tho
test. That Is why 1t has gathered sig
nifcance beyond anything that any
specific political reform can achieve

CALL FOR GIANT GUNS.
Artillery Experts Advise Them II
Principal L. $. Fortificntions.

The placing Of giant guns of l4-inch and
16-inch calibers in all the principal forti-
fications of the United States is one of
the defensive improvements contemplated
by the artillery experts of the army, says
the Washington Star. That action is
made necessary by the development and
use of higher calibered guns by other ma
tons, notably in the European navies.
where guns of the 15-inch type are now
being placed on the battleships of the
latest types. of which the famous Queen
Elizabeth Of the British navy is an ex-
ample.
At the present time the largest guns In
any of the coast Notifications of the Unit
ed States proper art Of the Pinch type.
There Is one 16-inch gun at Panama, ana
14-inch guns have been authorized for Ma
Mia bay. Tho new 14-inch gun fires pro-
jectile weighing about LOCO pounds. and
uses a powder charge of about 40 pounds.
But it Is the big l6-inch gun which the
ordnance officers have developed that Is
the real wonder of the service. A second
gun Of that type will be under test by
the end of the present year. 1t Is 80 feet
long, weighs about 2S5,nD pounds, and
fires projectile weighing $40 pounds
with n charge Of Go pounds of smokeless
powder, The projcctile is about l-2 feet
long. The gun cost $4,000.
In line with the proposition to increase
the armament Of the coast defenses by the
addition of guns of the li-inch and lG-
inch types is the proposition to add siege
artillery units to the permanent organ
ization Of the field artillery arm of the
regular army. One of the problems being
studied by the artillery Is how to make
the great 12-inch mortars. that form so
important part In the scheme Of de-

whether the Red SoX would have won

Is longer than any outfield has held IN

Wright in the Troy Times. AS all three

likely that when the first break comes
