His majesty's ship Hampshire was
on its way TO Russia"
Great Britain's allies had great con-
fidencc in Earl Kitehcners Judgment.
His visits to France and Italy we're
supposed TO have had important re-
suits in co-ordinating the work OF the
allies. The fact that he had left Lon
don for Russia IS regarded as an in
dication that he was on similar
mission TO that country. The first
intimation came in the bulletin an
nouneing that he had been lost.
Naval officers express the opinion
that the cruiser Hampshire must have
struck mine, as it would have to be
an exceedingly lucky shot for a tor
pedo 70 get a ship with its speed and
under the conditions OF the sea, which
was very rough.
The Hampshire carried crew Of
between 400 and 500 men.

THE MUNITI0k PROBLEM.

Brigadier General Crozier, chief OF
ordnance in the United States army in
his report to the senate, has suggested
some of the difficulties in the war of
the Cummins' plan to have the gov
eminent take over the business Of
making munitions OF war. He says
that a plant or plants costing not less
than four hundred millions oper
ated by force Of $50, 600 men would be
required to equip an army Of a million
men in the field and another million
in reserve. His figures are supported
| by the experience Of Great Britain
which now has $4,000 men in it's gov
eminent munition factories and is
! buying all over the world besides.
The great problem is to have such
!, factories and men available when
NEEDED in war without having them
standing around idle when there is ne
war. War in this country does no:
come even once in the life of one gen.
Grafton of men and government NUM-

Conceit IL caused by nursing bump

largest bumps Of self-esteem on record
we're possessed by people who started

came proud and naughty after learning
how to eat with fork. This teaches
US that II is better to remain modest
and eat with knife in an eager and
noisy manner than TO become swollen
with pride and refrain from tipping up

One Of the worst forms Of conceit II
the ingrowing kind which Is hooked up

may come when some other kind oil
| paper must be substituted. A number
Of years ago there was paper mill
at Tama, Iowa, which ground out a
straw paper that was used extensively
In stores for wrapping up meat, sugar,
nails and rice-when a clerk had to be
an expert to tie up goods. When the
paper bags came into style the brown
paper went out and several factories
in the state which were using greet
quantities of straw stopped the manu-
facture. Investigation of methods pf
improving the Huality Of the paper
stopped when the eastern manufactur-
ers commenced to dump their papers
on the Iowa market
| There are memories surrounding the
old brown paper which was used as q
household cure-all for every mishap.
This brown paper was good for more
than wrapping meat or other greasy
packages. Your grandmother used to
tie up a black and blue bruise with It,
first dipping it in vinegar. 1t also was
good to stop nose bleed when stuffed
up the nostrils. or high up on the sums
under the upper lip. Then before the
day of dry cleaners we all had to de-
wise means OF getting the grease spots
out of our clothing, SO hot iron and I
bit OF beeswax and brown paper was
often called into service.
Many country print shop used the
old brown paper for printing sale bills
and many times when the patent in
sides failed to arrive, it was used to
print the home side. with lucid ex-
PLANTATION why the wrapping paper had
to be used. Many veterans OF the civil
war have among their keep sakes cop
les of newspapers which the union
printers, who took possession OF news
paper offices in the south. and in the
absence of regular stock issued on
brown paper or on wall paper.

scription of the entire force of work
men in time of war. These plants
could be located in advance, charted
as to their efficiency subsidized in
part by government ownership Of their
bonds under a contract right to as
sune full charge of them in time OF
war including their machines and their
/ men just as a government has always
ships and Of late years automobiles as
well.
! This done the government would
have done in advance what ii would
require more than a years time to do
when war had been declared and
enormous plants would not he rusting
out between wars at frightful expense.
But even then the problem Of fur
nishing munitions to belligerents
would not be solved. If the govern
ment takes over the manufacture OF
ligerents without violating it's neu-
trality and if it refuses to sell to any
bellgerent it per contra loses it's right
to buy from any neutral in time Of its
own war need. Under such a policy
our government must become self
sufficient in war and that means that
We must have a gun factory which will
rival the Krupps works within our
borders
General Crozier says that our NUM-
ton factories must be located well
within the interior, remote from the
borders which are exposed to attack.
This will be good news to Davenport
and St. Louis but factories capable of
making big guns upon short notice
must have something to do between
wars and that is likely to be a long
time.
Morally it is as much of a wrong
to make guns and powder for those
who are killing as it is to join in the
killing ourselves but practically it is
as necessary for us to form our mutual
protective societies with other ma
lions whereby each will sell to the
other the clubs he needs for a fight as
it is for neighbors to loan teams and
wagons to one another for hauling
hogs and threshing oats. II it is not
done each citizen would have TO keep
on hand equipment enough for his own
emergency and that would be prohibit
tive. There is really more of practical
necessity in this munition business
than there is Of sentiment. All war is
morally wrong but what is u nation TO
do when war becomes unavoidable.
