A DROP IN THE BUCKET.

DROP IN THE BUCKET.
The current issue of the Worlds
Work contains an editorial article on
Americas part in the manufacture of
arms and ammunition in which it is
estimated that we are contributing less
than one-twentieth of 1 per cent of
the total artillery ammunition used
by the allies in one month. The writ
er places the quantity of artillery am
munition used by the allies in month
at 50,00O,000 rounds, and calls this a
conservative figure. He estimates
that our factories are making not
more than $4,000 rounds month. The
quantity of cartridges supplied by
America he places at one-eighteenth
of 1 percent of the total required The
figures are interesting as an Illus
tration of how little there is in the
cry that America is prolonging the war
by the sale of ammunition to belliger-
ants. They are also interesting as n
disclosure of how greatly increased
the output of ammunition from our
factories would have to be if the
United States should become in
volved in warfare on, a large scale.
In the same article it is estimated that
II this country were compelled to
place million men in the field for ma
tional defense it would have to turn
out 100000 rounds of artillery am
munition monthly, or more than 800
times its present product.-Chicago

five Mexican murderers who are I'M
der a death sentence in Arizona is
based on his fear that if they are exc

such possibility that the lives of
Americans in Mexico could be in any
greater danger than they are now and

Undoubtedly, as Mr.. Tumulty, the
secretary to the president, states. the
talk of a cabinet split over the course
to be pursued toward Germany is
"nonsense." In view of the handy
manner in which President Wilson
has managed such an obstreperous
and unwieldly thing as the congress
of these United States, the task of
weeping his cabinet hitched and hog
tied to his desires should be as child's
play for him.

As to the eastern arena of the war
both Germany and Russia are claim

zone claims of gains are made by the

mans. And possibly all of these ap-
parently conflicting claims are more
or less well founded in a way. The

And scatter seeds upon the green,
With hopes that it will be my lot
In all good time to string bean.
Yes, scatter seeds of every kind,
And rake and hoe and fuss and

And in a month or two you'll find
The scotsman has been stringing

You'll swear off on the garden stunt
Until next spring and then
You'll buy another catalog
And be stung once again.
