Il is undeniable that science was one

every day the allies are making fresh
progress. Today they equal their en-
emies: the day is not far off when they
will do better than the Germans.
The next war will most certainly be
more scientific than this one. Engines
Of destruction are bound TO grow more
enormous and fantastic. Inventors are
working everywhere to this end. Means
are being devised to improve torpedoes
and use them in other ways. For a long
while efforts have been made to control
sea torpedoes from a distance. 1t is diff
ficult to do II, but not impossible.
Finally, I have heard Of an air torpedo
for use by Zeppelins which Swedish
captain is said to have invented.
Great Power in Electricity.
All this is not much when We reflect
that electricity has great surprises In
store for US. Electricity has infinite
power yet It has not yet beeh employed

don't say we shall see in the future
battlefields without guns, rifles. grenades
or bombs, but theoretically 1t is possible.
1t Is obvious that II electrical apparatus
could be invented to throw out waves
such distances as to blow up powder, we
should see some extraordinary things.
One man placing two wires in contact
might blow up battleships at sea, mu-
milton depots and arsenals in a single
minute.
Suddenly, as though with a magic
wand, ammunition boxes would blow up
on the battlefield and shells explode in
the very mouths OF guns. Cartridges
would spontaneously go off in the SOL
diers belt. This would mean reversion
to bayonet or sword fighting.

The glimpse which has been given into
the workings Of England's munition
plants, which are now employing nearly
100000 men and women, will indicate to
the reader that not even Germans SUPER

that of Britain, France, Russia, America
and Japan. 1t is also certain that Ger

cepting 100000 young men of the classes
Of 1916 and 1917 and that strength of her
armies is already waning, while Russia
and Britain have enormous resources of
cannon fodder. Financially, there Is no
hope for Germany excepting a gigantic
indemnity, and Britain and France, how
ever, great the strain. are more than
solvent.
The three calculable factors OF men,

the armies Of Germany must GO down

value OF Machine Guns.
This amazing account Of how ninety
men stood off for weeks one Of Gen de
Castelnau's armies indicates. as Lloyd
George desired to drive home, the great
value Of machine guns. But the baf-
fled army which struggled in vain around
The "Starfish." as the fort was christened
had hundreds Of machine guns and scores
Of cannon. The story shows not only,
then. the Importance Of machine guns,
but also the supreme advantage con-
ferred by the defensive.
No other example Is necessary to DEM
onstrate the possibly supreme weight of
the incalGllable factor of the strategical
defensive. Because OF the British navy,
Germany Is playing for a draw. She is
now demonstratably Inferior to her op-
ponents IN Immediately available man
power and still more so in reserves.
Financially in spite Of the boasts Of the
German minister of finance, there can
be no shadow of a doubt as to the su-
periority Of the entente, which g rap

ter OF munitions. the great advantage
secured by the central powers at the be-
