A PATRIARCH'S PLANT

David n. Lane, the Republican city
chairman OF Philadelphia. woke up
The other morning on his seventy.
sixth birthday at Atlantic City. and in
that refreshing atmosphere dropped
into a philosophic mood on the want
ties OF the age. Looking back on the
years OF his life from the pinnacle of
the fulfilled s~criptural allotment. Mr..
Lane declared that II a man could
only acquire the wisdom OF z early
In life. and avoid the indfscretlons OF
youth. there Is no reason why he
should not live indefinitely. which is
hardly IN original observation or a
startling conclusion. In fact. IL has
been impressed on youth with tire
some iteration IND r~eiteration. but
ever-beckoning folly and pleasure are
slways stronger than common sense
and the ~counsels OF those who speak
warningly from experience.

average farmer boy Is accustomed, by

The present conflict may well
be termed a warfare of high eN-
plosives. The trenches OF an op-
posing force must be actually
blasted out Of existence. Victory
or defeat now depends absolutely
upon preponderance OF gun-fre.
High explosives are making a
new record at sea The submA-
rine Is o recognized as a Wal
engine with which We must Sc
riously reckon. n Is the most
menacing engine Of war ever de-
vised by man.
The effects OF high explosives
dropped from the air from aero
planes or diriEibles have, up TO
the present time. been somewhat
disappointing. not only from the
difhculty in making hits. but also
from the comparatively small ef-
feet OF high explosives unless con
fined inside OF the structure they
are Intended TO destroy.

OF London, might result I'm very
serious loss OF life. but even then
the damage would not BE- so wide
as the terrified Imagination might
fancy.
Should a feet 81 Zeppelins drop
a hundred tons of poisonous gases
into the streets OF London in a
single raid. there would unques-
tionably result much loss OF life.
and the loss Of life might greatly
exceed that which would result
from dropping a hundred tons OF
high explosives; yet the calamity
would not be so great or so far
reaching as to become a deter
mining factor in the war.
