THE TURNING OF THE SCALE

When the war opened all ad.
vantage was on the German side in
the matter of heavy artillery. The
42-centimeter guns that knocked to
splinters one fortress after another
were surprise. The world had
heard rum,rs that Germany had
prepared zomething Of the kind; it
didn't believe, until it saw Namur
and Liege.
At another point, however, the
Germans were not so far superior.
The French field and machine guns
are probably superior to the Ger
man; but they were not to be COM
pared for numbers.
In year and half of war the al
lies have had to match this equip
ment of their enemy; but they have
had one advantage: the opportunity,
while they were doing it, to make
yet bigger and better pieces. This
they seem to have done. Just as the
first dreadnaught became the mini
mum for battleships thereafter, so
the 42-centimeter howitzers became
the minimum in heavy artillery. The
allies must overmatch it; the Ger
mans must win instant victory while
the advantage was still with them,
or be beaten in the game of bigness.
Seemingly the allies have won in
this contest. They are emplacing
along the Franco Belgian line great
pieces that outrange the biggest
German guns. They have bombarded
cities from distance of twenty
miles, and done it effectively. Posi-
tions that were supposed a few
weeks ago to be perfectly secure are
being smashed. The pendulum has
swung back to the side of allies adj
vantage, and the moral effect on the
Germans, heretofore calmly con-
fident that everything in their hands
was superior, is described as de-
moralizing.
The time has passed when the
Germans can be credited with every
possible advantage. Preparedness
has at last been achieved by the
other side. 1t was an awful struggle,
just to maintain existence and hold
of the conquerors till that much
could be done; but it has been; and
the war, with this much accom-
pllshed, will never again be the
hopelessly one-sided affair it was in
the early stages.

"dREATER WASHINGTON"

The most salient feature about the
result of the police census of Wash.
ington, just completed, is the show
ing Of a normal, widely distributed
and steady increase in the popula-
ton of the city of Washington until
now it has reached 357,749. The city
has not been subjected to booms and
to periods of depression. Except for
the few years just after the civil
war the growth of the city runs re-
markably "true to form"
Another healthy characteristic
about the census is to be gathered
from studying the figures of the
various precincts. The increases are
pretty evenly distributed. A falling
off occurs in the downtown precincts
in the business sections; and the in
crease is taken care of all around
an arc ranging from Georgetown,
sweeping across Mt. Pleasant, and
winding up with the northeast sec
ton. The one section in which there
is a marked growth is in the resi-
Dental district north of Park road
and east of Rock Creek Park.
So far as business of the city is
affected, especially retail business,
there is one important factor which
the census of the District does not
show. Its figures by no means in
clude the shopping population of
Washington. There has been a
marked growth in the homes just
across the District line. Though
these residents are not included in
the numerical census they must be
included in any commercial survey.
With the marked growth of popula-
tion just across the District line
along the City and Suburban line
running to Hyattsville; along the
Rockville and Brightwood and Chevy
Chase lines; and across the river on
the Virginia banks of the upper Po-
tomac, the population of the Greater
Washington would easily exceed the
100000 mark.

California Oil Victim

ATTEMPTS at Conservation Bring About Situation De-

The oil industry of California Is In q

Dates To Hysteria Era.
This whole muddle dates back to That
period of hysteria about conservation.

Of the subject. There was time when
anybody attempting to make the pubi1
lands useful was presumed TO h. II
CRATER. and when 1t was assumed that
the way to get the most out of natural
resources was to lock them UP and not
let anybody use them. There has been
n Neering of sentiment toward a more
Reasonable understanding in recent
years; but some of the unfortunate
products of the hysteria era are still OBJ
scrvablo, and the California oil calamity
Is one of these.
The California trouble relates back TO
the fact that originally there were no
proper laws governing the acquisition
and development of oil lands within the
public domain. The old placer law, for
mineral development, permitted pros
pcetor to enter upon the land. search
for the mineral or metal he wanted.

is utterly impossible for an oil pros
pector to find his oil first and risk his

money to prospect for oil.
Operation Is Risky.
The man who establishes drilling

machinery and supplies. even to water

assured. before he spends his none y

THE FUTILITY OF EMBARGOEs

One of the causes of the war OF
1872 was the embargo which this
country enforced in the effort to
avoid trouble and at the same time
coerce countries which, being bel.
ligerents, were considered to treat
our commerce with less amiability
than it was entitled to enjoy.
An embargo on shipments of war
munitions now, or on general com
merce with particular nations,
would probably have like effects.
Instead of being an effective means
Of preventing trouble; instead OF
forcing better treatment for our
selves, it would increase the diff
culties and add vastly to the danger
Of actual clash.
The embargo is the policy of COW
ardice and weakness. This country
ought to use every means to ex-
tend and improve it's commercial
position, not to contract and weaken
it. 1t is not our affair that certain
nations in the world are unable to
buy in our market because they
are blockaded. That fact gives us no
grievance against the blockading
powers; we have been the blockad-
ing power ourselves, at times. In
the future we shall probably be the
blockading power again. There is
no nation on earth-no, not even ex-
cepting Great Britain-that has
more need to maintain the fullest
measure of the right and authority
OF the maritime nation to use its
maritime power to the utmost de-
gree in war. This country is always
going to place large reliance on
naval power; in the nature of
things it must do SO. Naval power
will be of no use to us if we restrict
the uses of naval power to such a
point that we cannot accomplish
anything worth while. We want
free seas for our commerce, free
hand for our naval forces to sur-
press our enemy's commerce if they
have the power. We are planning
to be naval power only second to
the greatest; perhaps the time is
not so very far ahead when it will
be necessary for us to equal the
greatest.
The war has destroyed our com
merce with Germany, Austria, Italy;
to extent also with Russia. In order
to make the thing equal as between
the belligerents, some Americans
propose that we now embargo COM
merce with the other side. That
would leave us with no commerce
at all, the reputation of arrant COW
ardice, the object of the jeers and
contempt of the world. 1t would
ruin the very industries that we
pretend to want to help.
