change of letter, between the President and
the German Government, all of which pivoted =
upon the demand that Germany should con-
duct her maritime warfare in accordance with
the established canons of international law
AS everybody remembers that prolonged
correspondence finally became standing
joke.
But when the campaign opened last year,
the Democratic managers published book in
which they said, that Germany had at length
"disavowed' the sinking of the Lusitania.
Was the statement true?
No: it was not true.
1t was merely another publication for
"home consumption"
Then in December came the Presidents

fighters to explain what they were fighting
about, and to definitely state the terms upon
which they would make peace.
This peace-maker effort of the President
extended into January of this year, and finally
collapsed when Germany, refusing to define
her terms, made the counter proposal for a
general Conference of the Powers.

Suddenly, he changes; and when he does
change, he doesn't stop where The Jefersonian
and so many others had so long wanted him
to co. but he passes the station of defensive

fleet to combat the German ve8SezS; and even

abroad.
When the President does change, he flies to
the other extreme; and after having been
eager, IN February, to make peace with Ger
many, leaving everything en- 8tatu quo, he
commits himself, IN March, to the present pro
gramme of c0nSc11pting a mighty host Of
young men, and forcing them to fqht the 6at-
ties Of Europe, upon the idea that our fore
fathers did not set up this Government Gin

With almost incredible extravaganza of
language the President now SAYS. that it is
our national mission to tell ''mankind" that.

The President IS thus reported in all the

Prevents a Double Exposure.

A prolific source of failure in anna. teur photography can be laid to not turning the film after an exposure has been made, with the result that two images are impressed on the same film surface, says the Scientific Amer ican. Even the most thoughtful per son is apt to forget to turn the film, and at times invaluable pictures are thus ruined. With view to eliminat- ing all possibility of double exposure, Clarence A. Hoyt of Tacoma, Wash, has invented an ingenious little de- vice which prevents a picture from being snapped until the film has been turned. When adapted to the box type of camera catch locks with the shutter release lever after an ex- posture is made, and in order to un- lock the lever 1t Is necessary first to turn the film. It is also possible to make the device indicate whether the film surface in position has been ex- posed or not by means of a window in which appears the word Exposed" or "Unexposed," as the case may be.

WORK ON MIGHTY WOODEN FLEET
 BEING RUSHED
Millions of Feet of Southern Lumber Will Win the
 War for Allies.

r. New Orleans, Sept. 22.-Thirty thou sand men at 40 shipyards along the l gulf and Atlantic coasts are now rushing to completion 250 hulls for ships which will compose the initial unit of Uncle 'Sam's great wooden fleet to bridge the ocean," So rap- idly has the work gone forward that | it is expected that the first hulls will be launched in October.
 Within seven or eight months after 1 construction was begun, many Of these ships will be ready for sea, and from that time on the American gov 1 ernment will be able to add to the al lies ocean tonnage, as long as need ed, new wooden ship of 5000 to $500 tons capacity for every working day in the year.
 This is in addition to almost as many other wooden ships being built for private interests.
 New yands are spring:ng up at many points to meet the require ments of the United States shipping board, which has announced it's de- termination to build all the ships of
  duced during the period of the war.
 The emergency fleet program has produced tremendous demand for Southern pine timbers which are used exclusively in Atlantic and gulf yards. Specifications prepared for the stand ard type government wooden ship call for approximately million and a half feet of timber for each ship. This is equivalent to two solid train loads of timbers Of forty-tWo cars each.
 One hundred and th1rty-tour South, ern pine mills are now working, some night and day, in getting out those timbers, which can be cut from only the largest and finest trees of the forest More mills are being steadily added to this list as new yards ne cessitate an increased supply of ma terials.
 Four hundred million feet of South ern pine timbers will be needed with in the next twelve months to com plete the governments wooden ship building program, according to w. J. Haynen, assistant purchasing agent of the emergency fleet corporation, who has recently made an extensive tour of the Southern pine producing territory, which represents the largest body of standing timber in the United States, if not in the world. 3S per cent of all the lumber of the kinds normally used in the United States States being Southern pine.
 '"The emergency fleet program first called for the launching oi hulls i'll November, 1917," says MT. Hannen, but the majority were to he launch cd after January, 1918. We are now trying to start the launching of hulls in October and advance the 1918 pro gram from 30 to 60 days.
 "The wooden ship will be the sal vation of our troops in France, will shorten the war, and save many thou sands of lives if completed just as early as possible.''
