In lecture on modern artillery at
the Royal institute, recently. Lieu
tenant Colonel Hadcock of Elswick
contrasted the life of big guns with
that OF butterfly. In the case of the
latter he supposed that "a hours would
be old age. The big gun. ON the
other hand. looked everlasting, but
II only lived when it was being fired,
and If an incessant stream of projec-
tiles should be poured out from it it's
active life In that sense would be only
II seconds.

Yca may imagine the fellow who
was arguing with you quit because

the probability that he thought it

Think for instance what it would
mea for the St Paul road. which has
cross country line all the way, to-
maui freight from Kansas City to
Milwaukee, here to take the boat
east, or for that and the Northwest
ern TO bring it here from parts of II
hnols, Iowa and Nebraska? Chicago
and a lot of other places would set up
a sad wall, and for mighty cause.
But it would be the making of Mil
waukee, and Manitowoc, and Green|
Bay. The Milwaukee Chamber of
Commerce has had a delegation inI
Chicago discussing this subject very
seriously this week. 1t is claimed
that lake rates have already gone up
and will go, higher if the separation
Is enforced. So it is with every rul-
ing that attempts to readjust the
established movements of commerce.
PACIFIC OCEAN TO THE JAPs.
The withdrawal of the Pacific Mail
Steamship line from the Pacific has
resulted in turning over that ocean to
the Japanese. Already passenger
service is contracted. The American
consul general at Hong Kong report
ed last month as follows:
What the ultimate level of freight
rates on the Pacific as a result of the
recent changes and the general con
traction of available tonnage will be
IS matter of considerable uncertain
ty, though all shipping experts in this
part of the world declare that a.
marked advance in rates is inevitable
and imperative, and the only ques-
ton is as to how marked the advance
will be and what ultimate level will
be reached. 3"
lie also makes it plain that the
japanese are discriminating in their
charges in favor of their own com
merce and against ours, as might be
anticipated. The tendency is pow
erfully toward Japanese monopoly
OF Chinese trade, which is Japan's
great present interest. This is not
what China wants, however. One of
the recent Chinese commercial vsi-
tors to this country is quoted as say
ing upon his return that they had had
a most wonderful visit, and were full
ly satisfied of the sincere friendship
OF this country, and he said that Chi
mas greatest needs were an interna-
tional Sino-American bank and a
Shanghai-San Francisco steamship
line. Without these two" said he,
we cannot have thriving trade be-
tween China and the United States, >"
so our problems are expanding.
FOR L. 5. MERCHANT FLEET.
To bring this nearer | need only to
refer TO a conversation this week
with man whose name is familiar
throughout the middle west, as one
whose life has been part of the
transportation history of this great
section. He startled me by saying -
II think the United States must build
and own a merchant fleet which NAV
also be an integral part of its navy,
in time of war. don't see any other
way to meet the pressing demands of
a world commerce that is now turn
ing TO this country. Do you?. Have
you thought of it?''
/ was compelled to say, NO" as
most Americans would, fancy. But
the point is that we as country are
travelling fast toward conditions of
international commerce and inter
course that were very remote only a
year ago. This is a world wide prob
lem that the great war has imposed,
and 1t IS one of many. Our RESPONSE
bilities and our field are expanding
nightly.

THOMPSON DoDGES QUESTIONS
TELLS ABOUT STAND AGAIN
When DR.. Charles Bayard Mitchell
gave Mayor Thompson the platform
Yesterday afternoon at the meeting
of the Church Federation council the
200 ministers from all over Chicago
expected him to answer these ques-
tons which have been raised by min
listers and social workers who have
been on the picket lines around gar
ment shops during garment strike:
why do police officers wearing
stars and sworn to enforce the law
assault peaceable citizens? Why do
policemen look on and make no ar
rests while brutal sluggers and pri-
vate police beat up girls and women
guilty of nothing more than walk
ing along sidewalks?
Instead, the mayor gave a long
explanation of why he won't take a
hand in the strike.
81 have notified the state board of
arbitration, as the law requires and
there my duty ends" he said.
But how about the sluggers
hired by the employers?" was the
call from the audience.
eff the strikers go home and be-
have themselves, stop their depreda-
tons for a week, then l might do
something" said the mayor
He said the strikers are getting
false sympathy, more public support
than they are entitled to, and sud
denly threw a direct accusation at
the whole audience of ministers be-
fore him. After saying the Guskosh
killing came after much public SYM
pathy had been shown the strikers,
he declared:

What is the use Of going to church?
That Is the question which people
often ask when the duty and privilege
OF public worship are pressed on their
attention. Sometimes it's asked de
hantly, and Is equivalent to d denial
that there is any special benefit in,
meeting with Gods people in HIS
house. Sometimes It is asked honest
" by persons who suppose that since
God Is everywhere present, he can be
found and reverenced in one. place as
well as another. In either case the
question shows ignorance OF the need
OF the soul. and II the. purpose and
ordinance Of religion.
It b true that God does not dwell
exclusively in temples made with
hands. and that he Is everywhere. Il
is true that In nature We see the tok-
ems OF this power and suggestions Of
His goodness and mercy. but THE
deepest needs OF our hearts are. not
