handsomely oy cutting down the es- inmates only s1,37s,073. With this generous allowance the ordinance experts plan to set up great modern guns at the entrance to our famous ports, by replacing some of the out t-of-date guns with the very latest type At Fortress Monroe, Virginia, some of the best guns are mounted on old fashioned carriages and others are practically useless to defend the entrance to Hampton Roads, seven- teen miles away. To overcome this neglect and to guard the possible entrance of enemy ships that might seek their way into the Chesapeake Bay and up the Potomac River to Washington, the capital of the nation, sixteen-inch guns will be set up at Cape Henry. New York City will be protected by guns Of the same cal1ber placed at Rockaway Beach So that the coast artillery service may be more useful in time of war provision is made for the installation of mobile artillery. Special railroad cars will be built to carry sixteen- inch guns along the coast, from Maine to Florida on the east and from Washington to California on the west. Fourteen-inch guns and HoWitzers will also be added to this complement so that this moving ar tillery will protect vital points on both coasts where forts are not es- tabl1shed. This is in conformity with plans adopted by the army more than a year ago. Another part of the scheme is the installation of anti aircraft guns, submarine mines, and torpedoes under radio control as per- fected by John Hays Hammond, Jr. This is only the beginning of the plan perfected by the War Department Board of Review which calls for the ultimate expenditure of S96,00O ,000, hut it presages lively interest by some members of Congress and the hope that in the not too far distant future the United States will be we'll protected by adequate coast de- lenses.

tbingS-That some people read only the first page and that ther sense of proportion of the value of news is lacking.
 Newspaper readers should try and Uisaouse themselves of tho idea that the first page is the whole paper. As a matter of fact, the individual who does not read the inside pages IS bound to miss a great deal of value. Every page of a newspaper worthy the name, is worth reading. Frequently good telegraph and local which come in carly in the evening are used on the inside as a matter of expedienCy
 If the Record were to print request accounts of entertainments and So- cial affairs on it's front page there would be no space for the late import ant telegraph and local. It is for this reason that the Record has been forced to draw the line on first page requests, confident in it's claim that the inside pages are as thoroughly in teresting and readable as the first page.
 This cannot be truthfully said of a paper which pads it's ''interior' with rnatrix pages and plate matter, but when a paper prints live, fresh news, the real newspaper reader will look for it on whatever page it is printed.

Socialism in Milwaukee.
(BridGepOrt Telegram }

Several years ago the United States was very much startled when MiWau- kee. enc of it's great cities elected a socialist mayor At the subsequent mayoraIty election the socialists of Milwaukee were defeated, although in the meantime they had sent d con- gressman to Washington from that district. In MilWaukees latest mu- nicipal election the socialists are again victorious.
 These facts merely sketch d steady growth of socialist sentiment in Mil waukee, when read with a proper un- derstanding of local conditions.
 The first socialist victory took place under what was practically a tripar- tlsan election; that is there were three parties of nearly equal strength in the field republican, democratic ard socialist. In order to win suci> d. contest it was necessary only to obtain slightly more than one-third of tho votes cast. The socialists reached this mark and won. although they actually were but minority of all those vot- ing.
 The subsequent socialist defeat oc- cured at a bipartisan election. The republican and democratic parties had com mbined in the meantime for the purpose of local politics, so that

As to the Kilt.
(From PearsOn's WeeklyO

(FrOm PeafSOn $ w eeklA. J
 The exact origin of that interesting garment, the kilt, is lost in the mist of antiquity, although it's history goes back to the time when it was part of the national dress of Ireland and Wales, as well as of Scotland. In the middle ages the kilt was kind If a shirt, called a. "lenn. It was worn with a ia acket and d single piece of cloth thrown over the shoulders. Tn those days, although the '1enn was colored, it had nothing like the variety of colors of the prcsent-day plaids.
 The scot found that this garment. reaching below the knees, interfered with his freedom of movement ln fight or an athletic game, and so he tucked or lliItcd it just above his knees.
 In 1S47 q special act---the High land garb aCt-Was passed in the effort to abolish the costume of the Scottish Highlanders, but fOrtunate- ly it's only effect was to make the kilt more popular than ever.

SOMEBODY CARES.

This is no way to talk about mat ters involving the honor of a nation. The Hamburger Nachrichter, in commenting on the American in- quirtes regarding the torpedoing of the steamers Sussex and Englishman. says:
 Who on earth cares in Germany whether these ships were torpedoed by German submarines or not? They belonged to and were used by the enemy and were destroyed. That is all'W care about at the moment"
 Somebody should care whether these ships were blown up by Ger man submarines, and somebody should explain. It is exactly two weeks today since the Sussex went down, and the supposition is that she either struck mine or was torpedoed. Tn two weeks something should be known of the cause, and in view of the attitude in Berlin, the veil of silence, it would seem as if something is known. The German Chancellor has said that "Germany respected the legitimate rights of neutral trade and Commerce. but that is as far as he went. If he even believes that much and if he knows the attitude of the vast majority of true American citizens he must care whether these ships were torpedoed by German submarines or sent down by cncoun- tering mines. The Hamburger Nach- richter probably takes too great a burden upon it's shoulders in assu1n- ing that no one in Germany cares. Somebody must care, or it is time they were made care Ambassador Won Bernstorff in Washington has given assurances of friendliness. He cares; surely somebody must care in Berlin.

there were but two principal parties in the field thcn-thc Socialists and tEe Independents. The significant fact. however, was that the Socialists in defeat boiled a larger vote than they had in their previous victory; the difference being spelled by the fact that in the first case the opposi- tiOn vas scattered, and in the second case the opposition was united.
 Now the Socialists have achieved by l still larger vote than ever before, a victory over a united opposition. Tn other words the Socialist party in Mill Waukce has risen in size from a one third party or better, to a One-half ralty or better, and the Socialists are now, for the first time, actually in the majority If this growth holds, there will be henceforth in Milwaukee Gin local electiOns) only two parties, the socialists and the non-socialists.
