should be done by governmental agency. The

Senator Works purpose in issuing formal
statement OF his opinion that Justice Hughes would
render great service to his country by declining
to the Presidential contest even if he should
be nominated by the Republican national conven-
ton, is no more apparent than his argument is
convincing. Senator Works sole contention is
that because Mr. Hughes is a justice OF the
Supreme Court he should have nothing to do with
politics As justice of the Supreme Court Mr..
Hughes has had nothing TO do with politics, nor
is there any likelihood that he win have so long
as he occupies that exalted Office. His position
with regard to the connection of his name with the
Presidency has been admirably disnihed and al
together beyond criticism. There need scarcely
be apprehension that Justice Hughes will permit
himself to be placed in the position described by
Senator Works OF declining the nomination after
the convention has chosen him. If he finally de-
termines not to bear the Republican standard his
determination will be no secret in the convention.
and there will be small chance that he will be
offered what it is known in advance he will decline.
But Mr.. Hughes may easily become the Re-
publican nominee without having anything to do
with politics while he is justice Of the Supreme
Court He need not become in any sense an active
candidate for the nomination nor take any more
active part in politics than he has taken since his
appointment to the Supreme Court will take if
ne determines not 10 neau MS paftys tickct, anu
yet the convention may be permitted to understand
that if he should prove to be the choice of the
majority the nomination will not be rejected
Nominated, Mr.. Hughes would. of course, at once
resign from the bench and not even Senator
Works could successfully mantaih that politics
had sullied the judicial roles.
"The Office of judge, whether of high low
degree. with great small jurisdiction" says Sem
ator Works, knows politics, religion,
race color, no station in life no class distnc-,
ton-nothing but even-handed and equal justice
to all men. The man who fills the office of judge
should be alike blind to all these things These
qualifications bar man from the White House,
and Senator Works has advanced no more force
full argument against Justice Hughes election
than he has against his acceptance of the nomna-
ton. No one knows now who win be the choice
at Chicago. II it should be Justice Hughes, there
is reason why he may not accept the conven-
tons decision.

He thinks that two officers could de-
vote their time exclusively TO expert
ments with Illuminating tracers and fuses
for anti-craft projectiies- With the new
type OF split trail field artillery II is
proposed to use the ordinary mobile field
artillery in attacking aeroplanes and
Zeppelins. -Four OFFICERS he thinks are
needed to work on improvements and in
the development OF 1s-fnch guns and
carriages for the coast defenses.
The Board of Ordnance and Fortifica-
tions has adopted this type for the large
guns In the coast defenses and Gen
CroEier has under consideration some i'm
provements and changes which will make
them more powerful than the I6
inch gun, which is to be shortly INSTALL
ed in the Pana ma Notifications.
|. For working on 1l-inch and sS-
inch mobile artillery guns there should
be at least two officers in the opinion OF
Gen. Croker. Reports from the European
war are TO the effect that the 1l-inch guns
have been the most effective addition to
the heavy field artillery.
Gen Crozier also asked for two addi-
tionai officers to work on the problem
of armored automobiles and motor trae-
tors and one to cooperate with the pri-
vate manufacturers OF munitions of war.
He also thinks that two ordnance officers
should be detailed to the General Staff
and one to the Navy Department TO bring
about coordination between the Ord
nance Bureau of the Navy and the
Ordnance Department OF the army.
