WHAT PREPAREDNESS MEANS

Mr.. Lloyd George in his Manches-
ter speech gave a most effective
statement of the case for military
preparedness, by telling what un-
preparedness had meant to the Rus
slams in the Galician campaign. The
Russians were defeated because
they did not have ammunition. The
Germans in France and Belgium, if
Mr.. Lloyd George is correct, would
have been defeated before now if the
British and French had had ample
ammunition; and the affair of La
Basse suggests that there Is ground
even for SO strong a claim.
The story of how the Germans
showered 100000 shells on a certain
section of the eastern line, while the
Russians had only 700 shells to use
in reply, tells about all that is need
full in explanation of the Germanic
victories. Perhaps the figures are
exaggerated, in both directions; but
no matter for that; the Germans
have had ammunition to lavish in
this eastern movement, the Russians
have not had it.
One of the things that the United
States Government needs to know is
what this country's capacity is fol
providing arms and ammunition. II
has been vastly increased in the last
year; it ought not to be sacrificed
by the dismantlement of factories as
soon as the war is over. There will
be great surplus Of manufacturing
capacity as soon as peace is re
stored, and a temptation to pul
down the plants or turn them tt
other manufactures. The Govern
ment should make complete inven
tory of these establishments, and j.
necessary buy them as an insurance
against having the country los
them. They will not cost much t,
maintain ready for business whel
their products are needed. The,
would be mighty convenient whel
the occasion should come. Lookin,
into just such matters as this is IN

performing, and for which it ough

pal Bishop OF Washington, is recovering
today from a severe shaking up received
late yesterday. when a Wisconsin ave-
nue. street car and the bishop auto
mobile collided just after he left the
Cathedral Close.
The hedge and shrubhery about the
grounds prevented the chauffeur from
seeing the approaching car. The bishop
who was the only passenger in the
automobile, received a slight scratch on
his right hand, but proceeded to 81:

RISE AND FALL OF PRzRMYsL

The recapture of Przemysl by the
Teutonic allies, after ten weeks in
Russian possession, is liable to be
hailed as more important military
achievement than it really is. The
truth is that no city is supremely
important in so big war. Even a
kingdom overrun, like Belgium; or
ten departments of Frances most
important industrial section held
strongly by Germany, have served
only to make the wars outcome the
more uncertain.
On the face Of things, it would
seem that the Russian capture and
the Germanic recapture of this city
must be Of vast significance. 1t
would have been, in any former war.
The Austrian strategic staff that
planned and built the great defenses
of the city and .made it one of the
empires chief arsenals, believed
that in war it would be of tremen-
dous importance.
But all calculations made before
August I last are now in the junk
heap. No position, no fortress, no
city, is supremely important. The
whole industry of war-making has
been so completely revolutionized,
so grandiosely expanded, that a city,
a fortress, huge garrison even,
cannot be assigned any such signifi-
canoe as formerly. Przemysl fell
before the Russians, and it was
hailed as one of the real determina-
tive victories of the war. If it had
been in any wise determinative of
anything whatever, surely the Ger
manic forces would not so soon have
swept their arms back to and around
it, and recaptured it. If taking il
was tremendously important to Rus.
sia, it ought to have given Russia
| new strength, new power to hold
her lines. Instead, there is evidence
: in recent operations that the pos
, session of this position actual.

, to defend it weakened Austria ir
r earlier stages of the campaign.

Life Insurance

Ebert Hubbard said many
good things of life insurance, but
the following is as comprehen-
sive as any: Life insurance
avoids the uncertainty of leay-
ing things to the neighbors. 1t is
a business plan founded on the
laws of mathematics TO provide
for those dependent upon Us in
case of death. Life insurance Is
no charity. Life insurance is a
duty: and it is a privilege, Lord

Sen. Myers Writes
Encouraging Letter

F. j. White of the First National bank is in receipt of
very encouraging letter from Senator Henry L. Myers the
subject matter being the proposed appropriation for the
Flathead irrigation project. Senator Myers writes that he
has encountered entangeents and obstacles that SIM
ply amazing but that the present prospects lead him to
believe that he will be successful in getting his b appro
priang $687 000 through provision in the bill provides
that the money shall be Immediately available and remain
available until expended, - which he believes will make it
possible complete the bitches of Roman by the middle
of June thus making the water available in ample time for
irrigation of crops this year.
Everything depends however, the passage of the In
dian appropriation bill There were the time the letter
was written fourteen appropriation bills awaiting action
and the senate has been at sands account OF the
ibuster against the shipping b there is doubt to
whether all the bills will get through before adjournment
the fourth of March, Should the Indian appropriation
fail of passage, the would not be available in time for
the work to be completed in 1916 but extra session
would undoubtedly be called at which this BILL with
others failing get through this session. would passed.
Senator Myers has been doing strenuous and effect
i've work behalf of the Flathead and he will continue
the job until success finally crowns his efforts.

HOPE AGAIN
Ab|DES HERE

Tuesdays associated press re-
port from Washington brought
the encouraging news that the
senate committee on Indian af-
fairs had on Monday adopted an
amendment offered by Senator
Myers to increase the appropri-
alton for the Flathead irrigation
project from $500, 600 to $6S7, 900.
According to the report, the
comptroller of the treasury ruled
that any unexpended balance
from last years appropriation
for the Flathead project, would
have to be returned to the treas
ury. AS there was $187, 600 un-
expended from last years appro-
priation, Senator Myers offered
an amendment to the former ap-
preparation of $500,00 to include
this sum in the 1915 appropri-
alton, thus making the total
amount for this years work,
$6S7, 900.
1t is claimed this amount will
enable the service to complete
what is known as Lateral A.
of the Pablo canal this year.
This is good news for the Flat
head and when the word comes
that the amount asked for has
really been appropriated, we
shall feel that a real effort is be-
ing made to redeem the promises
made the homesteaders of the
reservation prior to it's alleged
opening.
