$6O0,OOO,O 900 for Cannon

Paris, Oct. 12.-France's growing eff
fort to accumulate artillery and I'M
munition is shown in an analysis of
wal expenditures.
The total of IA months shows over
100000 900 francs ($600, 000, 000) spent
Tor cannon n ammunition at the rate
of log, 100000 a mon in 1914, 225,000,-
600 a month during the first half of
1915 and 5000, 900 a month during the
quarter ending September 80.
That the French army is now liberal
ly supplied with shells is indicated by
the recent lavish expenditures of ar
tillery ammunition. 1t was stated that
General Joffre had a reserve of 15,000,-
600 high explosive shells before he be-
gan his recent drive at Arras and in
Champagne.
The expenditures for artillery andam-
munition are exceeded only by the item
of food and forage which amounted to

JUDGE GIVES LECTURE
TO NATURALIZATION CLASS

Aberdeen, S. D., Oct. 9.-Judge Carl
G. Sherwood is one of those who thinks
the United States will have future wars
and that it should be prepared to meet
such conditions. He made his views
on this subject emphatic in hearing
some applications for citizenship. He
told them that the time probably would
come when they would be called upon
to fight for the country, and continued:
THE man who is not willing to fight
for a just and righteous cause, is I'M
worthy to be a citizen, for some day
this country will be embroiied in an
other war, as certain as there is a sun
in the heavens. Men who think that
human nature has so changed that
there will be no more wars, are shut
ting their eyes to the truth and turn
ing their backs on history and what
history teaches us. History always re-
peats itself. That time may be in the
distant future, and 1 pray the time may
be deferred for many years yet, but
1T will come, of that / am sure. AS
long as there is greed and rnattained
ambition in the human heart, even in
the most advanced and enlightened of
nations, just SO long will there be war,
L am not a materialist, neither am |
a peace at any price advocate. but ]
believe that between those two ex-
trenes will be found the truth. I be-
Ieve with all my heart in reasonable
military preparations"
