ousTRlAL PREPAREDNESS.

Though down to work only COM
paratively short time, the effort of
the national committee on industrial
preparedness is already showing Won
derful results The organization
springs from tie initiative of Secre-
tary Daniels, of the navy department,
who realizes that if wars are to be
wen it must be NOT only by military
but by industrial preparedness as
well.
AS a consequence there are 10000
of the best engineers of the nation
busy as beavers making inquiry Of
manufacturers as to how far their
plants can go in preparing the coun-
try for war, if need be. The response
has been most patriotic and the in
formation startling in its indication
OF great things.
Every state has its committee. \
recent meeting in Pittsburgh shows
that much has been accomplished. A
general review of conditions tells that
business men, assured that the in
formation they give will be preserv
ed in strict confidence and used only
by the war and navy departments,
have freely co-operated with these
committees. The offers of some of
the manufacturers have been most
generous and the ease with which
some of the plants could be convert
ed 10 war uses is astounding.
1t has been learned, as a result OF
the inquiry, that dye plant could be
converted in week or ten days into
a maker of high explosives. Agricul-
tural machinery plants, sash-chain
makers and others can turn to she'll
making in snort order. An underwear
maker will turn out bandages. A but
ton maker could manufacture small
munitions. Everywhere surprises. OF
this kind are found.
None viii dispute the wisdom of
such an inventory or survey. None VIII
doubt that it is essential and none who
has a drop of American loyalty and
patriotism in his body will refuse to
cooperate in the fullest degree.
If Germany got the start on her
enemies it was because she had the
military and industrial arms of her
national machinery nicely and exact
" co-ordinated. Dispatches telling
that Germany has ever been snort
OF ammunition are rare, while the
other belligerents were constantly
shy of this essential until the com
paratively recent past.
II is to the credit of American sag
acity that it was quick to grasp this
lesson from abroad and lost no time
in taking all proper precautionary
steps to avoid being caught asleep
at the switch leading into the yard of
industrial preparedness

(By George w. summers.)

WASHINGTON, Aug THE man
ner in which the Hatfield party's
senator from West Virginia looks af-
ter the interests of his people i'll
the senate is illustrated in a case
which arose in tine senate a few
days ago But for the presence and
timely activity of Senator Chiffon,
who was right on the job, the West
Virginia constituent of the two sena-
tors, in whose behalf the house had
acted, would have suffered. The house
passed a bill introduced by Congress
man Nicely granting a pension of $40
month to Ida NJ. Satterfield. The
bill was incorporated with numerous
others into one bill and was passed
by the house. 1t went to the senate
and to the committee on pensions,
of which Senator Golf is member.
But Senator Golf was absent, as usu-
al when the bill came up for CON
SlueGdllUu, ny tHc ColnlHittSV, anu
there was no one to look after the in
terests of the West Virginia woman,
so the committee agreed to an amend
ment striking the pension for Mrs,
Satterfeld from the bill. The amend
ment came to the attention of the
senate during momentary absence
of Senator Chiffon from the Chamber,
and the amendment was agreed to by
the senate. Someone notified Senator
Chiffon, who was in an adjacent

Der and asked why this item had

or in the senate. Senator Chiffon eX-
planned that he knew the case was
meritorious and managed to have the
vote reconsidered and the item left
in the bill. West Virginia's member of
the senate committee on pensions
permitted the West Virginia item in
the bill to be voted down, but the
active senator from the state stepped
to the front and had it retained in
the bill in spite of Senator Golf, the
Hatfield party's absent senator.
Hughes is Hatfield Candidate
Charles E. Hughes, Republican nom

fore the Virginia debt case had been
passed upon by the supreme court of
the United States, of which Mr..
Hughes was then member, Governor
Hatfield came out in an interview pub

papers of West Virginia, announcing
that he favored Justice Hughes for
