LORD BRYCE BIANESEWAR
UPON THE TELEGRAPH

A new "cause" of the European
war and one of the most original
yet given, has been propounded by
Lord Bryce, former British ambas-
sador at Washington, who attributes
the conflict to the invention of the
telegraph. In an address before the
British Academy, Lord Bryce thus put
the blame on telegraphy: -
"In the twelve fatal days between
July % and August H.. last year;
there was no time for reflection; Tele-
grams between seven capitals flew
'hither and thither like swift arrows
crossing one another, and it would
have needed a mind of more than
human amplitude and energy to grasp
and corelate all the issues involved
and to foresee the results that would
follow the various lines of action pos
sible in game so complicated.
Gwen the intellect of a Caesar DIR
Bonaparte would have been uni
equal to the task. -
Here the telegraph has worked
for evil. Had the communications
passed by written dispatches as they
would have been done eighty years
ago, it is probable that war might
have been avoided"

THERE IS MONEY IN -: -.
SORTING POTATOES

There is money to be made by the
sorting of potatoes. Consumers,
large and small, do not like mixed
lots. They want them uniform in
size and quality. Consequently po-
tatoes are usually sorted before being
put on the market and the price
which is paid the potato grower is the
price of sorted potatoes, less the cost
Of sorting. Therefore, the potato
grower who ships unsorted potatoes
really has to pay the charge of sort
ing.
The shipper of unsorted potatoes;
also, has to pay another charge, and
that is the freight on the culls which
are later taken out of his shipment.
The shipper of unsorted potatoes,
therefore, is simply wasting money!
It pays to sort because it gives one
the top market prices and because
it saves freight on culls, and, it might
be added, because the culls could be
kept on the farm and made use of in
rations for live stock.

SPIRIT OF LAWLESSNESS.

Late yesterday afternoon Chief of
Police Frank Ripple in arresting a
man for whom he had a warrant,
had struggle. The chief called up
on several citizens standing nearby to
assist him and they refused. BY so
doing they not only should have been
arrested themselves but they deserve
to lose the name of citizens Their
spirit is spirit of lawlessness.
Statutes provide that when a po-
lice officer asks for assistance it must
be given. Section 1915 of the revised
laws of Minnesota, 913, say, that ev-
cry person who after being lawfully
commanded to aid an officer in ar
resting any person or in retaking any
person who has escaped from custody
shall wilfully neglect or refuse to
aid such officer shall be guilty of a
misdemeanOr.
Chief Ripple should arrest each
person who refused to assist him yes
terday. BY so doing he would strike
popular chord.

ENGLAND AWAKENS TO
ZEPPELIN MENACE

England has at least awakened, if
not to the danger, at least to the
nuisance of the Zeppelin meaace, &C
cording to London reports.
Candid admission having been
made in London 'apa"s at the raids
are becoming somewhat continuous
and irritating," England has set her
self to meet them.
Having thus scratched the surface
Of British self Germany
may soon find herself facing rival
aerial program as stupendous and as
difficult to meet as the naval con-
struction program of the British adj
miralty.
A project for the launching of fifty
aircraft within the next two years
and the laying down of sufficient
each year thereafter to insure COM
plete mastery of the air is England's
PLAN.
The British fleet of dirigibles
would be purely "home defense"
fleet. Should, it later become an Of
fensive weapon it's sponsors declare
that would be logical.
France appears successfully to have
solved the Zeppelin menace with her
aeroplane service. England has not.
This does not mean that England is
deficient in that service, for she has
developed an extensive and effective
feet.
Either it means that aerial defense
hasanot beer given such considera-
tioha or that the great bulk of the
English aerial corps is in Flanders
or''at the Dardanel1es.
Thesprojeet fora feet of dirigibles
is based ION the fact that the dirigi-,
BILE is the worst enemy Of the Zeppe-
lin. Lighter thainr air, the Zeppelin
can ascend rapidly, while the aero
planes chasing them climb slowly.
The English aerial feet program
provides for the immediate construc-
ton of, 80, sheds about 500 by 200
feet. These would be larger than the,
Zeppelin shed used by Germany and
would admit the. simultaneous con-
struction of two aircraft in each.
The steel frames for these would
come from the, United States. Brick
and cement are available in England.
The cost of each shed including the
gas plant, would be about $250,000.
It. is estimated that six months
would be required for building the
sheds. Two aircraft would be at once
be laid down in each, the designs be-
ing completed during the six months
of building. j.
Delivery of the craft could begin
within a year. BY the end of the
second year it is estimated a fleet of
fifty craft would be complete. After
that steady program Of laying down
certain number each year would be
enforced.
The type Of dirigible suggested as
being most effective for home defense
would be able to rise 5000 feet,
would have speed Of fifty five miles
an hour and a lifting capacity OF ten
tons each. The cost would be about
$780, per craft, bringing the ini-

vessels together with the thirtyssheds
up to about $4,000. 900.
Additional defense could also be
secured, it has been suggested, by re-
curing each ship-building concern
to erect a shed and maintain a.dtni-
gible. 5.s5
