General Response.

Secretary Daniels has written TO re-
tired members of the United States
Navy asking if they are ready to re-
turn to the colors in case of war.
The letters are urgent, and point out
that "the Secretary of the Navy is au-
thorized in time of war, or when, in
the belief of the President, war is
threatened, to call any enlisted man
on the retired list into active service
for such duty as he may be able to
perform"
Several hundred retired sailors and
marines already have received these
communications. ech one is asked
to state the condition OF his health
his age and employment, whether he
would be able to fight if called upon
and the names of those dependent upon
him. Immediate response is urged
since, the letters say, 1t is a matter OF
grave Importance.
II the retired men are called upon
Mr.. Daniels states, they Will receive

were theirs when they were placed on
the retired list.
The motive which prompted these
letters is not known. Their general
tone would indicate that the govern
ment has become alarmed over some
international strain and is taking hasty
steps to prepare itself in case OF ad'
ditional complications.
That the matter is extremely urgent
is shown by the fact that not one OF
the men in this city who have been
called upon is less than tifty-five years
old. Many of them are now emp loyeS
in the hull and machinery division:
in the navy yard. Not few are liv-
ing entirely upon their pensions.

WILL NOT RELEASE
BELGIAN PRODUCTS
British Refuse Shipment of
Goods While Germans
Rule.

Washington, July Street Britain
is disinclined to permit the unmolest-
ed passage to this country of ships
loaded at Rotterdam with Belgian
products, according to a message to-
day from Consul General Skinner at
London.
While efforts to secure release of
all the Rotterdam shipments have been
unsuccessful, it had been hoped that
goods shown to be of bona fde Bel
gian manufacture might be exempted
from the British order in council The
London government holds shipments
from Belgium to be the same as goods
of German origin, taking the position
that, so long as Belgian territory is
dominated by Germany, it is practical
ly German territory.
The progress of the negotiations has
made it clear that Great Britain fears
the exemption of Belgian products
would open way to market for Ger
man wares.

SEES NEW PERIL
FOR ALLIES in
WESTERN DRIVE
War Expert Says Kitchen
er'S Million Is Needed
to Hold Lines.
From The Trihune Rnrcan.l

Washington, July 3l.-That all of the
big army raised by Lord Kitchener will
be needed to defend the line in Franch
and Belgium, and perhaps to save
Paris and Calais, is the opinion of a
strategist of high rank in the War De-
partment As result OF the capture
of Warsaw, he pointed out, the Ger
mans could release approximately mill.
ION men, who, because of the wonderful
railroads of Germany, could be rushed
Immediately to the Western battle
front for another drive.
Before the Russian armies which
have just been driven from Warsaw
can make any effectual counter attack
said this authority, "a considerable
time will be necessary for them to re.
arrange their lines, fill up the gaps and
provide supplies. 1t has been shown
throughout the war that with the Rus
SLAMS this has required slightly longer
than with other defeated armies. So
it may be taken for granted that there
will be no severe drive from the Rus
slams at the Austro- German forces for
from two weeks TO a month.
"Me mime, it will be simple matter
for the Austrian troops now in that re-
gion. together with whG; reinforce
ments might be sent, to hold the Rus
slams. while the entire German army
can be released. The time required to
rush the victory crowned army to the
western line would be very slight.
"As in Poland all that need be done
is to hold Warsaw against efforts to
recapture, think the 4 ian troops
might assume the task. Indeed, | do
not think there would be any serious
attempt by the Russians to retake War
saw or drive their enemies back for
some little while.
at is a mistake to think that the
Russians have been disposed Of. They
will be back, just as though they had
not been defeated, but not before the
Germans have accomplished more won
ders in the West.
THE Importance of the million Ger
mans from Poland, if thrown against
he British French line cannot be over
estimated. If Kitchener has a million
men ready for the front, he mad better
send them; provided, of course, they
can be supplied with ammunition. They
will be needed to stop the German drive
that is coming.
1T would not surprise me in the
least TO see the Germans accomplish
row what they tried so hard TO do early
in the war. the breaking Of the British
French line. The only thing that will
stop it Will be fighting of most won
derful defence by the French

COTTON RAN BLOCKADE
Outwitting of British Dis
closed in Supreme Court Suit

A suit filed yesterday in the Su-
preme Court shows that as late as
January Germany was able, despite the
British blockade, to obtain from this
country $500 bales of cotton. The
shipment was made from Galveston,
Tex. on December % on the steamer
Pathfinder, and was successfully de-
livered in Bremen.
The suit is brought by Adolph h.
Norden & Co. to recover S1l6,l23 from
the Guaranty Trust Company. The
plaintiffs had arranged to buy the cot
ton for John Simon, of Bremen. The
price was S44S. 443. The Norden hrm
borrowed S403.717 from the trust COM
panv to pay for the cotton, which was
pledged as security for the loan.
After the cotton reached Bremen IT
was attached, and the trust company
ordered it sold. The Norden firm
seeks to recover the difference between
the cost and the sale price of the cot
ton.

mates to those used in the fifteenth
century. Known as a trench gum
and warranted to clear any hostile
trench without the possibility of any
effective return fire. it is a direct re-
turn to the old muzzle-loading cannon
that was supposed to do great execu-
ton some five hundred years ago.
Hundreds of these guns are now be-
ing made as rapidly as possible for
the British government. and it is be-
lieved that they will revolutionize
trench warfare.
A romantic history attaches to the
invention of the gun. Eleven years
ago an Inventor named Stokes went to
the War Office in London with the
drawings of new gun. He suffered
the usual fate Of such visitors to that
institution. That is to say. he was
politely ignored. and each time he
called was requested to come again;
but he never succeeded in seeing any
responsible official
Being, however, of a persistent turn
of mind. he refused to be put off. Con-
seGuentlv the War Office funkeys. be-
coming very urea OIL MS lace, asked
him one dav 10 leave his drawings. He
did so. They were carefully tied IN in
red tape and placed in the plgeonhole
Of an official who had no knowledge of
the matter. And when the persistent
inventor subsequently renewed his i'm
Fortunate inquiries he was told that
the matter was under consideration. D."
Up to a certain point the gun follows
exactly the medieval instruments of
warfare, but a twentieth century inno-
walton is seen in the periscope, which
is attached TO the barrel. BY an in
genious arrangement, as the gunner,
by the periscope, sights any particular
object at which he wishes to fire, so the
gun is trained and sighted automatcal-
~ for that object.
Fire Is Extremely Rapid.
Automatic sighting, both for rifles
and artillery, has long been prophesied
by experts; this gun renders it an
actual fact Once sighted. another
clever loading arrangement enables it

More often than not the answer is
no"
"Then you get out, quick" is the
reply to these high military chiefs.
Stokes is paying back those oldtime re-
bluffs with interest.
Other Inventions Pigeonholed.
But this gun has brought with it yet
a more startling result. After the sue
cess of Stokes's experiments the bright
idea occurred TO one of the new men
at the War Office that perhaps num-
Der of other useful inventions might be
resting, covered with the dust of years,
in the pigeonholes of War Office desks.
Accordingly the order went forth three
weeks ago for return to be made of
all inventions submitted within the last
officials was almost volcanic, but with
much labor and tears they compiled the
list.
Then another bold step was taken.
A small body of scientific experts were
convened. They were given the use OF
the place taken over for Stokes, and
were told TO 60 ahead and investigate
every feasible idea that had been sent
to thl War Office.
As a result. several inventions of
very great value have already been dis
covered. One relates to an improve
ment in hand grenades. which will make
their effects very much more deadly
Another is long, lightly armor-plated
boat for landing purposes This boat
is fitted with curved top, opening on
hinges in the centre, which renders
the crew almost immune from rifle fire.
A thousand of these boats are already
in process of construction, and in OPP
erations like the landing at the Oar
dsnelles should be of enormous i'm
pOrtance.
The British government is, OF course,
maintaining the utmost secrecy with
regard to all these new inventions.
