Inventor Of The Semi-ADnual Boiler Inspector
James Watt Didn' Realize Big Job He Cut Out

James Watt never knew what ease
or luxury was until he was too old to
enjoy either. He was granted several
air tight patents, to obtain which he
went without sleep. shaving soap and
other necessities. and as often as one
was issued somebody would step in and
infringe. One OF his best patents was
stolen outright, and is now used in six
cylinder cars which collect a fresh set
OF carbon every 200 miles. Mr.. Watt
could have gone to law and obtained
redress, but he always said that he
would rather have a little less redress
and more ready money, so he went on
inventing until he got his engine where
it could be handled by anybody who had
a fearless nature and a shrapnel-prOof
cuticle.
Before James Watt died he was Of
fered a baronetcy. but decided that he
would rather be an LID. He had met
several baronets, and was not inn
pressed by their intellectual processes
so that il choked him. He died in 1919
and was at once succeeded by five
statues, one OF which stands in an erect
attitude at Westminster Abbey. He left
a large estate, with a nine-hole golf
course, and a reputation which the
hand OF calumny has never marred--

TT Is unnecessary nowadays to Justify the
moral position OF England in the war. We
can ask nothing better than the eloquent
and convincing defense OF our British policy
delivered by the German Chancellor in the
Reichstag.
For the purposes OF this present argument.
It is not necessary TO recapitulate 81 here
otherwise than in outline. But lest tho
fine irony OF the form in which he cast H. or
the time that has since interviewed should
have dmmed its meaning In any mind. can
briefly remind the reader Of what the Chan
cellor said. lie said he had refused the Eng
lish promise not to attack or conspire TO at
tack Apparently he had refused it on the
ground that civilized Powers do not attack
or conspire. So far We may manage 20 follow
him; civilized Powers may not; but Germany
does. That Germany does. he then proceeded
to prove. Though civilized Powers do not at
tack anybody. he had asked for a promise OF
English neutrality I'm civilized Powers
should attack Germany.
AS it stands. this means nothing. II is lit
up with ray OF intelligence by the admission
that followed; that the Immediate answer to
the original English promise had been de-
mand that England should remain neutral in
any case. This. surely is final. What is the
difference between a vow 20 be neutral and a
vow not 90 be aggressive What does IL mat
ter whether Jones promises Brown not 20 Join
Ia an attack. or whether Jones promises Brown
not to join I'm a fight? There is one way in
which it really does matter. i matters 20
Brown II he intends % attack somebody. II he
means 20 fight Jouess friend Smith. Brown will
have one enemy the more under the first prom
Use. one enemy the less under the second.
BY the ChanCellors own admission he acted
exactly as a man would act who contemplated
taking the offensive. Next, he failed TO get his
complete neutrality, and tried TO get IL
condition that war was forced on Germany.
What ne meant by forced" be then ex-
planned. trying 20 show the Germans were
ready % treat with Russia, but not with
Servia, whom Austria had already attacked.
Then, he says. Russia modified. and that
made the war. by this view. mobilization Is
challenge. but invasion isn't. Austria was not
provocative IN beginning an actual war; but
Russia was very provocative in preparing for
a possible one. ] need not here waste any
more time over such rubbish. Everyone
knows that n getting ready is an act OF war.
Russia had been doing 8. for about three days
and Germany for about three years.
