superdreadnaught, it is used as
an argument as to why the other
Leading powers should do the
same 1t works as an endless
chain, with the war burden ever
and ever increasing on the backs
ofsthe taxpayers of the world.
AS the armer and powder makers
or the world work hand in hand,
it is to the interest of the War
Trust of one country to have a
foreign nation increase its build
ing program.
II a new desi ,n can be:work ID
out. that, too, means more grist
for the shipbuilders. 1t calls for
the speedy "scrapping" of the
vessels already on hard as "ol-
sclete", 'scrapping" means
throwing on the scrap heap as
old junk. So the life of the bat
tleship is ever lessening.
Another trick in the trade of
the war traders which is OBJ
vlously profitable, otherwise it
would not be continued, is the
hiring Of retired Army and Navy
officials and ex-members Of Con-
gress by the powder, armor and
shipbuiIding concern. These ex-
officials know the inner workings
Of the military branches Of the
Government, know the personnel
in an intimate way, and by pri-
vate conversation, by correspon-
dence. and in various ways are
in a position to obtain much use
full information. They know
how to go about things for re-
suits. Through these exotic ais
the War. Trust has become thor
oughly intrenched in the govern
ing power.
There seems to be no limit to
the extremes to which the war
traders are willing to go for bus
mess.
For more definite evidence of
the tremendous SvndicatiOn and
wide sympathies of armor-plate
patriotism, an examination of the
Harvey Steel Co. of London, is
instructive and entertaining.
The Harvey United Steel Co.,
(see Britis Stock Exchange Year
book, 1912. p. 12lD-was regis
isterd July 16, 1901, to almalga-
mate or control folr other COM

Harvey patents for treating steel

Of Great Britain (Ltd) and the

They were a so licensors for
the Krupp and Charpy processes

All of the peace socities Of the
world have not been able in a
century Of labor to effect such
an international alliance for peace
as the Harvey Co., in few
months. succeeded in effecting
word wide organization for prep
aration for war. =
Although paying handsome
dividends. it is elaine ed that this
company has been voluntarily
wound up during the last year,
after the decisions of two extra
ordinary general meetings held
on July 15' and 81. 1912, but it is
very difficult to feel sure that

comforting with the officials of the
Ringing road to get rates made on
oil shipments to Texas points. The
interstate rates from Ringing have
been established to but a few Texas
points and a rate is needed to inter-
mediate points. For instance, there is
a rate TO Fort Worth and a rate to
Galveston, but to points intermediate
no rates have been published. This is
due TO the fact that Ringing IS a new
town and also to the fact that oil ship
ping is a new industry to this portion
of the country.
The Thelma people are shipping on
an average about two cars Of oil a
day. These shipments will probably
be increased to 10 cars when rates
are established. The oil is being used
for fuel without being skinned, but
so far only pond oil has been shipped.
This pond, or earthen storage oil, has
a gravity OF 81. Fresh oil shipments
have been begun lately and 1t is being
sold to Dallas parties, who will prob
ably skim it before placing it on the
market,
II. l.. Foster has been figuring with
