1t is true that the disUse Of armOr followed the
invention of better grades of powder but it must,
nevertheless, be remembered that, during the time
when armor was worn oftenest in Europe gun
powder was in common use. During the latter
half of the sixteenth century not only cannon but
guns and pistols seen everywhere. Never
theless armor continued to be used. It was in
many cases the matter of expense which limited
the wearing of armor for in those days the cost
of armor was high, very high Clearly, therefore.
a man would be less apt to wear really good
harneSS-One which might have cost the eQuiVa-
lent of ten thousand dollars in the present pur-
chasing power of money-when the protection it
gave him was not complete; he preferred then to
wear common heavy armOr, and in the end to
neglect wearing armOr altogether.
When he found that his enemy kept away from
him, the range of firearms increased. Later he
took chance" of receiving wound
It was only during the Thirty Years war, say
before 1850 that cheap armor of very great
weight-almost intolerable-came into general
use. Then, too must remember that there
was for a long time feeling that armOr not

guished officer thought it chivalrous to appear in
battle only partly armed Thus read of his
torical personages going into battle with helmet
visor raised and of such knight Grant Sir
Philip Sydney lighting bareheaded The feeling
that it IS discreditabe to wear armor is strong
at the present day.
The reasoning runs: 1t is cowardly to take an
unfair adj vantage Of adversary. Surely a man
in a duel would not a shirt of mail; so why
should he be armored in battle, which is only
duel on q larger scale?
Shields should be and already in constant
1t may be recalled that the Japanese rede-
velOped this system effectively in their war with
Russia, especially in the capture of Two Hundred

in front of the advancing infantrymen. In earlier
times the japanese sometimes wore fat shield
slung upon the breast but always a defense

lection He does not suggest that its weight and
unwieldness was any drawback for he recon-
mends a curass made of buff leather, REINFORCED
with metal strips, weighing in all 80 pounds, as
a very useful equipment. and he gives his opin-
ion that it was only the cost of armor which
brought about its disuse. From the middle of the
sixteenth century there had been much discus
sion the practical value of armor, and Sir
John Smythe, writing in 1880, cites the death
of Sir Philip Sidney from spent bullet rea-
son for adherng to the old fashions in military
equipment AS early 1869 armor proved
by musket pistol shot, and in 1890 Sir Henry
Lee, master of the armories, arranged trial
to determine the respective merits of Shropshire
iron and 'Hungere' or innsbruck metal, with re-
suits disastrous to the homemade product.
In the "Verney Memoirs. under the date of
1867 find that Richard Halls proved his
, with "as much powder as will cover the
bullet in the palm of the hand. 1t was this
proof by musket shot, combined with the gradual
decadence of the craft Of the armorer, who had
by this time lost the art of tempering his metal,
which produced the graceless and cumbersome
equipment of the seventeenth century-proof

u. s. Dollar Suprene

In the visit of the great bankers and
fnanciers of Europe to this country,
seeking to negotiate loan of one bill
lion dollars, had you thought of the
significance of this event? Had you
thought that this signifies the impor-
lance of the American dollar in the
business of the world? Whether or
not the great loan is finally consum-
mated-but will be-the visit of the
financicrs of Europe in an effort to ne
gotiate this loan, this immense credit,
marks new epoch in the history of the
world. 1t marks the spot where the u.
S. Dollar passes the British pound ster-
ling and takes its place at the top of the
fins n :ial ladder. In no other nation on
earth could this gigantic loan be floated
and its consummation is proud mo-
ment for the United States. 1t means
that in creating this vast credit, every
dollar of which is to be spent in this
country for food supplies, this nation
assumes its rightfuI place, not only as
the granary of the world, but as the
banker of the world. The Western
Advocate, Mankato, Kansas.
