There Was a Little Girl
In France who Wrote to
Soldier She Didn't Know
BY A RE PORTER.

l read a story. the other
day, about a girl in Paris
who wanted desperately to
do something to help the
men in the trenches who are
fighting for France.
She had very little time
and very little money. She
found out the name of one
soldier and she wrote him a
letter. She told him all
about Paris, all its latest
life and newsiness; all about
the weather and the new
gowns in the windows on the
Rue de la PAX.
She told him who was rid
ing in the Bots and gave him
condensations of the worlds
news as it had seeped into
Paris. She told him every
thing and n0thing-just the
hundred irrelevant things
that two people from the
same place talk about when
they meet.
The soldier answered the
letter and begged for more.

and romance, but II wasn't
the romance that carried the
story. 1t was the idea of

FOR ARMY

WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
July 5.--Bottled fireflies as
an aid to military operations
in Mexico are now being dis
cussed in certain Washing
ton official circles!
When our standard machine
guns damned during the raid on
Columbus, y. NJ, the people who
are responsible for providing the
army with that type of gun made.
the excuse that the MeXicars had
been SO inconsiderate as to at
tack while black darkness STROUD
ed the land!
The machine guns in question
is hard to operate at night be-
cause of the narrow slit into
which the thin brass cartridge clip
has to be fitted.
But, unfortunately, they
have night on the Mexican
border and night is u favoritc
time for attack.
The ordnance officials at
Washington perceived that it
would be obviously impracticable
to illuminate our trenches with
arc lamps, and so the unique ilea
of issuing pocket flash lamps TO
the machine gun men was hi;
upon,
This at the very time when the
tendency to simplication in equip
ment is the rule of the lay.
Then one army man actually
made the suggestion that bottled
fireflies. procured by forage par
ties, might serve as a substitute
for the little electric flash lamps.
The point is that for years
there has been at the dispOs-
al of the L. =. ordnance
board marvellous machine
gun which one man could
handle in utter darkness
without any danger of its
jamming-and could fire il
upside down, at that, If he
choose!
1t is the Lewis gun, which
personal prejudice on the
part of ordnance board Off
GERS seems to have kept out
of our service.
Now, only few weeks after a
board of army men at Springfield,
Mass, decided for SECOND time
that the Lewis machine gun
wasn't any good, the war depart
ment is about to commander. a
supply of these very guns from
the factory now making them Tor
the allies!
An extra appropriation ofi s2.-I
100000 for machine guns has
been rushed through congress.
Since the allies have found the1
Lewis gun their best "apld fireI
weapon, it is to be expected that |
If these guns find their way, as
now seems probable, to :he Mexi-
can border, they will prove the
most useful gun there.
IL such he our experience,
some Washington believers
i'm REAL preparedness are
asking what the public will
think of the ordnance board
which TWICE rejected the
Lewis gun.
VIII they not demand, 1t i
is asked, the ultimate revis- 1
ion of the ordnance board
personnel, as an absolutely
essential measure of any plan
of true preparedness?

It is not state Of mind: It is not the

1t is the war. and nothing but the war.
Furthermore. were II not for this war,
we would today be in the depths OF the

These "artlficially stimulated" in
dustries must collapse when the war
ends, the chairman predicted, for our
whole industrial fabric will then be
called upon to Withstand an attack
such as II has never suffered before

tor warned, "if the Democratic tariff
remains upon the statute books, all Of
these great industrial nations. whose
energies arc now devoted exclusively
to the wagIng of war. will transfer
their every effort. organized and con-
centrated 10 an extent never before
attained, ton rehabilitation and restor-
alton Of their
Suspended Industries.
Their greatest and most inviting mar
ket will be the United States. 1t will
not do for the spokesman Of this ad-
ministration to say that wc can pre-
vent the dumping o. cheap goods into
our ports by the setting up OF rules
and regulations governing invoices
furnished by American consuls in for
eign countries. Everyone knows that
our government is without power to
fix or control the price at which the
foreign manufacturer offers his goods
for sale in this country. Any such
suggestion Is idle talk and illustrates
once more the incompetence Of the
Democratic party to comprehend u
great industrial fact.
Eve hear much discussion and ad-
vocacy Of q proper military defense of
the United States against war Of
aggression. 1t is a healthy discussion
and the Republican party Is sincerely
in sympathy with this vitality import
ant movement. But this party insists
that along with military measures, the
nation must prepare itself lndustrially
for the peace which is to come. And
we declare that the only Instrument
for such defense and the only barrier
which can check this inevitable invas-
on and save our whole Industrial life
from utter destruction is a protective
tariff"
