ARMS AND THE MEN.

Italy ROW lets L - known that the DELAY in
her effective entrance upon the offensive in the
war was due - the lack Of big gun equipment
and Of ammunition The new minister Of rnu
nitions in the British cabinet recently de-
ciared that inability 10 provide troops with
rifles had delayed the entrance OF hundreds of
thousands into action for months after thew
were ready for service. More and more il
seems evident that perhaps the most decisive
factor IN Germany's superior preparedness was

every branch of service. Apparently il would

was to have been final Nobody, not even
Governor Goethels himself, viii undertake to
predict how long it will be before Snake hill
bows its back again and clogs the lnteroceanlc
waterway with rock. ooze and slime.
This continued and continual campaign
against one of the strangest freaks OF nature
which has baffled engineers is to date about the
only comfort we have gotten for spending our
money on the isthmus Such quality of grim
determination is somewhat of new strain IN
national character of which ingenuity ane
versatility have heretofore been the dominant
traits It would seem to indicate tendency
toward settling down to national solid rock
bottom.
The incentive to national progress in the
overcoming of some great obstacles is well rec
ognized. The American people will be exceed
ingly fortunate if their inspiration is to spring
solely from contest with the elements and not
from further sacrifice Of blood.

Richest Of All People.

Washington Star: The richest
people per capita in the world are
going to be cyen still richer, through
official action Of Secretary of the In
! terror Franklin X. Lane. The Usage
Indians wealth is estimated at $780,
600 per capita in the Indian Office
New leases running for five years,
and possibly until 1881. just approved
by Secretary Lane, will increase the
average annual income Of more than
1000 allotted Osages. from between
$500 and 800 per annum, to some
thing between 5000 and $1,000 per
annum.
The Usage Indians lands in Okla
homa are rich with oil. gas and
other minerals. Announcement was
made at the interior department that
Secretary Lane has approved oil
leases disposed Of at the recent auc-
ton sale. embracing lands belonging
TO this tribe, thereby concluding the
transactions in connection with new
oil and gas Leases covering $4,000
acres of land that were included in
the former so-called Foster lease
which expired in March of this year.
The $4,000 acres of land involved
was held under the Foster lease" by
about 160 sublessees in areas ranging
from 40 to 100000 acres. Under this
lease the tribe received one-eighth
royalty on the OF: produced The land
thus utilized embraced about one-half
of the area Of the Usage reservation,
the entire surface of which has been
allotted to the. members of the tribe
in severalty. Under an act of con-
gress, however. all oil, gas and other
minerals in the land, are reserved to
the tribe until 1881. unless otherwise
directed by congress.
1t is estimated that the annual In.
come to the Usage tribe under new oil
and gas leases, based on the same
production as during the past year,
will aggregate at least $780, 900, in
addition to the 1928, 900 received in
cash at recent sales, as against about
! $500, 900 heretofore received annually
under the old lease.

WHERE LIGHTNING STRIKES.

Thousands-maybe mllons-of otherwise
sensible persons continue to knock on wood.
But most of those old popular notions have been
disposed of. Very likely the saying Lightning
never strikes twice in the same place" persists
largely in metaphorical sense. If the theory
needed disproof in the physical world, the his
tory of statue of the first president, in Wash
ington, Pa. would furnish it.
According to news report, the hero's effgy
has become kind of target for the artillery OF
the air. Two years ago an arm was blasted off,
last year leg followed and now the head has
rolled in the dust.
If we were as credulous as ancestors of a
thousand years ago, all this would have meant
something to us. How many of the famous in
Iterpretations of the past have been based on
hints far less suggestive than these mutilations
of the bronze members of the Father of His
