THE GREATEST TECHNICAL
BlUNDER OF TIE WAR

If the Kaiser were to ask a mem-
Der of his great general staff what
was the most serious technical blum.
der that has been committed by any
of the belligerent powers during the
present war, it is quite conceivable
that he would answer, THE failure Of
Great Britain to place cotton on the
contraband list" If he did not make
this answer offhand it is certain that
upon mature consideration. and TAX
ing into consideration the absolutely
controlling part played by cotton in
the manufacture of pro9ellants, he
would name this omission on the part
of the British government as the
greatest piece of shortsighted folly of
the war
The present conflict has resolved
itself into war of artillery-the uni
versal propellant for modern artillery
is smokeless powder-the invariable
and major constituent of smokeless
powder is cotton-and hence the alb
solute necessity for an enormous, con-
tinuous and unfailing supply Of cot
ton, if modern warfare is to he waged
upon the stupendous scale which
marks the present European conflict.
The Imperial German News Bureau

ton by sending broadcast he state
ment that such is the skill and re-
sourcefulness of the German chemists
that they have found a way to manu-
facture smokeless powder without the
use OF cotton; but this august author
ity,-(quite inadvertently, Of course)
- has omitted to state thar this sub
stitute Tin which use is made Of Hood
pulp, and if need be of straw is a
propellant of decidedly interior
strength and quality.
And what does that imply? Nothinq
more nor less than this-that the
existing range tables are at once
rendered quite valueless, and the eX-
isting sights on all the thousands
Of guns, big and little, in the German
and Austrian armies would have to be
changed if wood pulp or straw pow
der is substituted for cotton powder
There is one other way by which the

weaker propellant could te compen'
stated for, and that is by sending all
o, the artillery back to the gun fac
tories and reboring the powder cham
bers so as to admit of the use of lar
ger charges. But the making of such
radical changes in the existing artil-
lery would be a vast undertaking

tempted in the height of life and
death struggle, whose operations eX-
tend over battle front OF nign upon
1000 miles, it would be simply sui"
cidal.
Cotton, then, is just now absolutely
the most important material element
in the conduct of the gigantic struggle
in Europe. 1t has been so, in fact,
from the very day when war was
declared. That the British govern.
ment should have failed 20 grasp this
fact is simply amazing. Had they
but brought together the gun maker
and the chemist, and had they Sc
cured the expert advice of such a
man as Professor Ramsay at the very
outset of the war, they would have
| realized the vital importance OF cot
ton, and it would have been placed at
once on the contraband list. A Ram
say would have told them that any
| possible German substitute would
give lower velocities and more or less
uncertain results, and the gun maker
would have told them it WIS too late
to readiust range tables and gun
sights, or to enlarge tie powder
chambers of the fifteen or twenty
thousand field and siege pieces which

anticipation of and during the pres
ent war.
The Germans realized long ago
that, since the war would be a war
of artillery, cotton in unlimited abun-
dance would be an indispensable ele.
ment of success. They failed in their
expectations of making the war short
and decisive On their defeat at the
great battle of the Marne they set
about gathering together every pos
sible pound of cotton that could be
brought over their borders. The prin-
cipal sources of cotton supply are
found under the British flag and in
our own southern states. The British
supply, of course, ceased at once,
and, failing to appreciate the import
ance of cotton, and not wishing to
subject a great neutral power to un-
necessary inconvenience, Great Brit
ain during the last year has permit
ted large supplies of American cotton
to enter Germany through the neutral
states. The British have now def
nitely placed all cotton on the con-
traband list, and in the discussion of
this measure they point to the fact
that the United States government

Help the Children.

More than half a million children
are preparing to enter the public
schools of Oklahoma. In every room
will be found boy or a girl, perhaps
numbers of them, who will be regard
ed as stupid or as having less than
normal intelligence. They will be
backward in their studies, and the
sting of it will rankle in their young
hearts and embitter their daily exist
ence.
The situation becomes doubly pa
thetic by reason of the fact that in
most instances it is an unnecessary
cruelty. Neglect of the proper physi-
cal examination OF school children by
q competent physician Is RESPONSE
BILE for much unhappiness in the
world The usefulness of many boy
and many a girl has been greatly inn

these examinations is borne by the
state. A bill for this lurpose was
defeated in the recent legislative as

made cotton contraband IN 1861, on
the ground that in the absence OF
specie it constituted the principal
purchasing power Of the Confederacy.
The British claim that the ground
which they themselves now take,
namely, that cotton is a fundamental
necessity OF war, is even stronger
than that taken by the United States
in its action in 1861.
The cause of the allies has I'M
doubtedly suffered as the result Of
the considerate attitude which they
have taken on this question hitherto.
The situation is well put by Lord
Sydenham when he says: 1--WE desire
above all to preserve the most friend
ly relations with the great kindred
people with whom we have been at
peace for a hundred years, but they
must realize perfectly that we and
our gallant allies are fighting for our
lives, and they will not forget that

it has ample authority to close up

GOVERNMENT AGENT RUN
OUT OF OKLAHOMA TOWN

Alton, Sept "a. c. Brandt was
sent to Kansas, Okla, as a govern
ment farmer, but the folks at Kan
sas did not seem to like him and ran
him out of the county. Mr.. Brandt
was also field agent for the Indian
agent at Jay Okla, and made re-
ports to Muskogee on violations OF
the liquor law. Here was what caused
the trouble, as it seems that some of
the natives around Kansas like a
little drink once in a while, and oft
ener, and so resented Mr.. Brandts
interference with their pleasure. Mr..
Brandt was slugged about two weeks
ago and the guilty party was arrested
and his associates paid his fine. The
county attorney says that he will
prosecute the guilty parties, but still
a government farmer will be sent to
Kansas, Okla, just the same.

Road MANAGEMENT.

=
Where a county builds Il good road
and soon lets it become rutty, washed
out, or uneven, who or what is prin-
cipally to blame? AS result of a
study of conditions in a number OF
counties. road specialists of the de-
partment are inclined TO place the
responsibility upon the following de-
fects in road management, some or
all of which are found in all counties
where good roads are not properly
repaired and maintained.
/. County boards, although having
full administrative autho. .ity, appear
not to attach to their official action
in road matters the Importance or
legal effect which it should have.
2. County boards do not generally
have sufficient accounting control of
road funds to know what IS available
for any particular project, where
funds have been or whe>e existing
balances are to be expended.
3. Lack of any systematic practice
in handling road funds among most
counties makes ii very difficult to
carry out over even a single year any
persistent maintenance policy, be-
cause funds officially obligated for
maintenance purposes are not protect
ed against sporadic and irregular
drafts for miscellaneous purposes, The
greatest likelihood consequently eX-
lists everywhere that there will be no
balance in the maintenance fund in
the last half or third of the year, al
though only a part of the fund allot'
ted may have been spent.
A. Local labor available for main
tenance work is made dissatisfied by
the constant, unintelligent, and un'
favorable criticism of those using the
road.
5. Maintenance continuing over a
period of years-the ultimate indis'
pensable condition OF effective main
tenance-is jeopardized by the lack
of accounting control that will prevent
spending next years current income
in this year.
6. The lack of skilled supervision
in construction and the effect of this
in increasing the cost or in making
effective maintenance impossibly eX.
pensive is everywhere seen.
The county authorities are com
monty opposed to following sugges,
tions for maintenance that involve
tying up road funds in any way, such
as purchasing materials in advance
to store along the road for making
repairs or maintaining the road sur
face.
