GOT THE GRiPf
A man stopped to look at our large
thermometer the other day. It regis.
tered close to zero. and the man. being
comfortably warm, could not believe
1t was working. He held the lighted
end of his cigar near the bulb for a
moment and as the mercury shot up
proving that it was on the Job, he be.
gan to feel chilly and went inside
Almost Immediately another passer
paused. The mercury had Just reached
25 and the man did not stop long
enough to see that-it was descending
He put up his earlaps, put down his
coat collar and went off with the easy
manner of one who thinks, only 25
Humph, that's nothing"
And the moral is-if it's awfully
cold or foggy or rainy or snowy OF
blowy, and If you have the grip and
your back aches and your eyes burn
and your nose runs. and the world is
enveloped In large, thick dark-blue
gloom-smile!
Don't worry over getting pneumonia
or letting your work slide a bit or
how cold or anything else it is, Go
right UP to Old Mr.. Thermometer and
say, "Humpl I don't care what you
say. You can't scare me-" And look
your Grip COLLINS squarely in their
bleary eyes and say, I've got the
laugh on you all right. l couldn't pos

row, and then where will you be?"
And the first thing you know, If you
keep your dander and your spirits up
you'll find yourself master of your
conditions instead of being the slave
of them.

The result of the orders issued by
the government is that more than half
Of the factories have had to close
heir doors and tens of thousands of
workmen have been thrown out of en-
ployment
The Allies had promised to keep the
swiss industries alive, but they only
wanted arms and ammunition. Their
orders had to be rejected, as the ex.
port Of war materials was forbidden
at the beginning of the warby the
Federal Council. One factory after
the other had to shut down and today
not more than fifty per cent of them
are working even on part time.
Many Of the factories which could
be kept in operation despite the alb.
| normal conditions had to discharge
their employees because they are not
able to get raw materials.
Asserting that the foodstuffs cheml.
calls, and ores would eventually find
their way into Germany the Allies
have interfered with these imports In
every possible way. r
Shiploads of grain and flour from
America have been confiscated by the
British, although the Swiss govern.

GOOD
COAST DEFENsEs.

SSO1 =
COAST DEFENsEs.
After all the alarmlst talk we have
had about hostile fleets battering our
coast forts to pieces and levying
tribute on our big seaports, it's reas-
curing to find Gen. Weaver-who is IN
charge of our coast defenses, and pre-
sumably knows something about them
refusing TO he perturbed.
II am not particularly alarmed" he
told the House committee on military
affairs, over the ability of battle
ships to batter down land defenses Mt
long range. think the present war,
especially the Dardanelles failure. has
demonstrated that long-range fire is
ineffective against strong land forts"
He pointed out fact uGually lg-
nored in comparing battleships and
coast defenses-that given guns of
equal power, the forts have tremen-
dous advantage, because the accuracy
OF fire from the stationary gun ashore
is eight times as great as from the
gun afloat Thus one or two guns
equal to those mounted on dread.
noughts, he thinks. are enough for any
fort.
OF course, we need more of such
guns. The biggest gun we have now
is of sixteen-inch caliber, with maxi
mum range OF twenty.three miles,
mounted at the Pacific entrance of the
Panama Canal. That gun, presum-
ably. could smash the strongest battle
ship in the world. The largest guns
at New York harbor are IA inches,
with range Of only twelve miles,
Forty guns OF this caliber, however,
are now being remodelled at Sandy
Hook 20 give them a range OF several
miles more. and additional IL and 16
inch guns are contemplated. The lat
ter especially should make our ports
impregnable.
The innovation on which the de.
partment places much dependence for
the future Is 14-inch gun now being
designed. to be mounted on car,
transported on railroads to any point
along the coast where It Ia needed,
and fired from the car platform. II Is
expected that a few dozen such weap.
ons, combined with an extension OF
strategic railway lines along exposed
parts Of tho coast, will give more pro.
lection aaainst bombardment or In.
vasion than would several additional
stationary forts.
Even now, inspite OF obvious de.
feets, General Weaver appears to re-.
gard our coast defenses az the beat In
the world. Ho refuses to believe the
oft.repeated statement that IAN enemy
could levy on any American coast city
at wiiiS declaring that mo well In.
formed officer would make such a
statement.F
IT seems evident, then, that our
coast can be got into the required
stste Of preparedness without any
