AMERICAN AMMUNITION.
Supplying Europe Demonstrates What
We Could Do for Ourselves.
(Pittsburg Dispatch)

4 N ihtSpdAS DioptLJJttJ
One effect of the war, tending to
strengthen American defenses, Is the
experience We are having in the con-
version of industrial plants Into lnuni-
ton factories. Should the United
States, by any mischance, become in
volved in war in the future, we woud
escape the plight in which England is
finding itself in that regard The ra-
pidity with which American plants
have been modified, as it were, or,
arms and ammunitians to fill the or
ders from Europe is valuable ex-
perience, aside from the profits of the
present moment. 1t shows us wha,
could be done for ourselves if the nee
essity arose.
Some of the figures of military otn.

little in that line American factories
have had occasion to DO BY August

country engaged in THAI production

cally unlimited so far as capacity is
concerned. Plants of the most diverse
use in times of peace have been trans
formed into war factories, ranging

plants.

The city of Denver was laid out and

thrived and their citizens enjoyed at

WAR AND GOLD.

International trade has a tendency

of country nearly offset each ,ther
and the matter of financing all pur
chases becomes an easy problem The
present European situation, however,
resulting in a tremendous demand for
American products without CORE
spending increase in exports by the
purchasing countries, has created such
a large trade balance in favor of the
United States that to meet the debts
thus incurred may necessitate some
clever financing.
Since goods bought in this country
cannot be paid for by offsettIng trade,
under the existing order of affairs. the
need of gold or its equivalent for
iiquidating purposes becomes al once
apparent.
Already handicapped by enormous
debts, and with expenditures largely
in excess of revenues, Great Britain
ana her allies In time will have to

During the past decade those re-

by rule-of- thumb methods, and ad-

ores Is concerned, is really applied

scientific principles to metallurgy has
been going on for a good many years,

THE THINGS TO TRY.


Edgar A. Guest, in Detroit Free Press)
The things that haven't been done
before,
Those are the things to try.
Columbus dreamed of an unknown
shore
At the rim of the far flung sky,
And his heart was bold and his faith
was strong
AS he ventured with dangers new.
And he paid no heed to the jeering
throng
Or the fears of a doubling crew
The many will follow the beaten track
With guideposts on the way;
They live and have lived for ages back
with chart for every day
Some one has told them it's safe to go
On the road he has travelled DER
And all that they ever strive to know
Are the things that were known
before.
The few strike out without map or
GIlarL
Where never man has been;
From the beaten paths they draw
apart,
To see what no man has SEEN
There are deeds they hunger alone TO
do
Though battered and bruised and
sore
They blaze the path for the many who
Do nothing not done before.
The things that haven't been done
before
Are the tasks worth while today;
Are you one Of the flock that follows,
Are you one that shall lead the way?
Are you one of the timid souls THAI
quail
At the jeers of doubling crew,
Or dare you, whether you win or fail,
Strike out for goal that's new?
