Big Guns for Big Fights

Thomas F. Logan in Leslie's.
The object lesson of the present war
in the matter of naval gunnery all
tend to prove that it Is the smashing
power of the big gun which decides
modern naval battles. Recent reports
emanating from authoritative sources
stated that German ordnance experts
had perfected a 17-inch gun for mount
ing on their newest dreadnaughts.
England. jealous Of all contenders for
naval supremacy, quickly built and
tested an 18-inch gun, which 1t is pre-
pairing to install on its newest battle
ship. The heaviest gun now in use
in the American navy is OF 14-inch
calibre. Secretary Daniels is authority
for the statement that this gun will
shoot farther. shoot straighter and hit
harder than any gun now in use or
known to be designed by foreign
country. 1t is an axiom in the Amer
lean navy that a ship should mount
the smallest big gun that will pierce
the enemy's armor over vital point
at the maximum probable fighting
range. The 14-inch guns in use in our
navy will penetrate IL inches of arr

OFFICIAL REPORT ON
BATTERIES A AND C.

In view Of various reports circulated
regarding the recent contest between
Batteries and C, the following Of
fetal report by Capt. John S. Hammond
will DO of interest in Birmingham:
Camp Alabama Field Artillery.
Douglas, Ariz., Nov. 6, 1916.
1.-THE following memorandum for bat
terry commanders is published for infor-
nation Of all concerned: Following the
competitive mounted and standing gun
drill held at inspection of Brig. Gen. E.
st. John Greble, U. S. A. The following
officers composed board for the pur-
organizations: Capt. J. P. Marley, Lieut..
". P. Edwin and Sergeant Major Con-
less of the Sixth field artillery. The
board arrived at the following conclu-
sion:
competitive mounted drill, COM
petitive standing gun drill and gem
eral merit was awarded Battery c. F..
A. N. G., Alabama. The kitchens of both
organizations were immaculate, sani-
tary and clean in every respect, but the
supply room and method of keeping
and issuing commissary stores was bet
ter in A battery than in C. The method
of serving food by sections as carried
out in A battery, instead of to indi-
vidual men as in C. is considered a more
efficient system.
Battery c quartermaster tents and
|storeroom were in better condition
than those of Battery A. The vicinity
and police around the battery tents and
wash stands in A battery was better
than C in this respect. Battery c for
age tents and blacksmith shops were
found in better shape than those of Bat
terry A. The grooming was carried on
in prescribed manner by battery A and
was more effectively performed than in
Battery c.
'Tn other points and departments
there was little to choose between the
uniform excellence of the organizations.

PROBLEM OLE WOMEN

II
largely settle itself. There are no
available figures of the number of
women war workers, for there must
be as many, or more women, working
for private employers as for the gov
eminent 1t is estimated that there
are about million in government en-
ploy. A very large proportion of these
are women who have been employed a t
other forms of work such as domestic
service, teaching, clerking, etc, and
who will go back to their old work
when the war is over. Another large
section of them are women who have
no need to work and who are doing
it from patriotic motives and will be
glad to return to the home when the
nation no longer needs their services.
There will be left, of course, large
number who have come into industry
and who will wish to stay in 1t, but
it must be borne in mind that there
will be a heavy shortage of men whose
places will have to be filled somehow,
SC that there should be no difficulty in
absorbing these women.
The situation is full of possibilities
England after the war will undertake
the solution of one of the biggest So
cial problems that any nation has ever
been faced with 1t is the whole prob
lem of the state organization of labor
and the states duty to provide employ
ment for it's citizens. Everyone, even
the most ld-fashioned individuals, is
willing to admit now that the state
must find employment for it's soldiers
when it no longer needs them as fight
ing men. But in England today every
citizen of military age is soldier, so
that the states duty is extended to all.
There can be no doubt that If the pres
ent experiment proves successful the
principle thus established has come to
stay.

PROBLEM OF DISTRIBUTION

PROBLEM OF DISTRIBUTION
To begin with the economists are
agreed that the problem to be wo1 ked
out is mainly one of distribution.
There will be plenty of work, it is be-
lieved. for a good many years after the
coming of peace for the whole popula-
ton. What is needed is to bring the men
and the jobs together. What VIII nap
pen, however will be a series of local
slumps coincident with local booms. Thus
all the great munitions towns which have
sprung up during the war like mush-
room towns during gold rush or
real estate boom will find their occupa-
ton gone for a time at least. 1t IS
hoped that eventually arrangements may
be made to turn most of the war factories
into factories Of peace, but that Will take
time and cannot be begun until all the
need for their war activities has passed.
Thus we will see whole towns unemployed
as soon as the demand for shells and
high explosives stops. On the other hand,
we will see tremendous demand Tor
workers in other districts.
The wooden mills will have a couple of
years leeway to make up in the supply
of warm clothing to the world, for there
has been very little wooden cloth for the
civilian in these days when all the wool
is wanted for the army Farmers will
want new agricultural W IL
place that worn out during the war, there
will be a tremendous demand for motor
vehicles of all sorts to replace those worn
out and destroyed and to provide for
the tremendous expansion of motor trac-
ton which is coming in England and
there will be famine in dock labor at
all the ports when the shipping trade
of the country returns to normal. The
shipbu ilding trade will be booming for
many years to come. Add to all this the
immense demand for material for rebuild
ing destroyed Belgium, northern France
and Poland and you can see that there
will be plenty of work to be done and
that the problem is merely one of distri-
button. 1t is about the biggest problem
OF labor distribution, however, that the
world has ever faced.

London, October 2.--(Special Corre-
spondence.) War came upon Great Brit
ain suddenly and found her unpre-
pared. Only her latent capacity for rapid
organization and improvisation prevent
ed the great industrial disaster foretold
by Norman Angel and the pacif1sts
Britain's business men, her statesmen,
her manufacturers and her leaders IN
all fields grappel with the problems
and the dislocation of trade and industry
was reduced to a minimum The suose-
quent immense growth of the manutac-
ture of munitions and war material Oh
all kinds not only for Britain herself
but for all her allies did much to restore
the balance and the result Is that TO-DAY
the working class Is really more pros
DRY of living man. There is literally
work for alr' in England today,
A far greater problem is now occupy
ing the minds of Great Britain's organ1-
zers, and that is the preparation for
peace. Peace like war may come unex-
pectedly and when it comes Great
Britain will be faced with the problem
of demobilizing and getting back into
civil life and ordinary industry some
thing between 100000 and 100000 men
and women Not only the actual soldiers
will have to be disbanded and placed IN
wage earning jobs, but the muniuon
workers as well will have to be restored
to the ranks of ordinary productive IN
dustry.
Already the government is at work
preparing for the day when this Will
be necessary and there is little likeli-
hood that it will be caught unaWares.
If the plan which has already been
sketched out in broad outline and which
is now being worked out in detail is
ready in time the return to peace condl-
tons should be accomplished with
minimum of friction and trouble.
