governments as important a uart OF
war equipment as are the cannon
themselves, being used to bring pro-
visions to soldiers, ammunition to the
guns, and largely where railroads are
not available, to move all the equip
ment of warfare.
Some OF the European govern
ments, among them Germany, and we
believe France and England, subsi-
die all trucks used industrially that
are adapted to transportation uses in
time of warfare. Every encourage
ment is given to their production in
quantities and to their widespread
distribution.
The last two years have proven
the inadequacy of the railroad equip
ment of the country to handle the
freight traffic in peace times. This
has given rise to a demand for trucks
in every city, town and hamlet of the
country. They are largely used to
bring foodstuffs and produce to the
markets, and then to take care Of
their retail distribution.
"As you doubtless know, our gov
ernment is even now proposing to
buy trucks in large numbers, in con-
nection with the training of the large
army we have been raising and are
about to raise.
"Please consider what tre-
mendous factor trucks will be if this
country is attacked by any foe that
attempts to land troops for an in
vasion."

possible that any one should have
such conception Of the facts. II ever
an industry was justified it is the
automobile industry.
Started ossibly as luxury, it has
developed unprecedented strides until
the predominant thought in the casual

Volume, however, is not what

function OF business. Without It,
business could not exist in its present
magnitude.
Crying Need Is Men.
The crying need OF every business
is men; the crying need OF the coun-
tries at war is men. France was
saved at the battle Of the Marne by
automobiles. Look about you every

is, multiplying men in every walk of
life. The doctor makes three times
the number of calls; the salesman

Five hundred tractors made in St.

of England to help in food produc-

A rush order for the tractors came
last Saturday to the T. G. Staude
Manufacturing company, 2678 Univer-
sity avenue. Arrangements were made
at once for delay of day and half
in the leaving of an ocean liner so the
tractors could reach New York and
be sent on this ship.
One hundred and twenty men
worked twenty-nine hours without
stopping at the Staude plant getting
the tractors ready for shipment. Mr..
Staude, president OF the company; D.

cials donned overalls and jumpers and

A special express train was engaged
for record run to New York with
complete right-of-way from St. Paul.
Herbert Foster, salesman for the
company, volunteered to 60 to Eng
land with the shipment and take his
chances on getting through the sub.

Express charges on the tractors to
New York amounted to $4,000. The
English government is to pay $65,00O

subject for marine artist to paint.

for the navy!
Right about where we took up
the gauntlet thrown down by the
Kaiser the currents of the Gulf
Stream spread into a fan and carry
their warmth in various directions.
Hidden somewhere in these cur
rents were the German submarines.
The average speed Of a submarine
is ten knots under water and double
that on the surface. To come to
the surface was to come into the
range of an American gunnery
which they have learned to respect.
They can run under watei. at depth
of sixty feet and can submerge to
zoo feet. The high explosive bombs
with which the English destroyers
have fought them burst at depth
in the water of eighty feet and
more These bombs have an effec-
tive exploding radius of 200 square
feet.
Inasmuch as Overmuch has been
written of the menace OF the sub
marine, I want to show that our
troopship, aside from the navy guns
and their opey Ating jackies on our
decks, aside from the protecting
units of the navy itself with us, as
well as any other army transport,
has tiptop chance to escape the
undersea craft. From the spar of
the forward mast in the ship, about
eighty-f1ve feet above the upper
deck, the human eye commands an
area of $50 square miles in which
a submarine emerged can be seen.
At the same altitude the periscepe
of submarine is visible for an area
OF twelve square miles. Good
watchers combined with high speed
are in themselves enough to get
away with provided there is no haze
or fog around the ship.

Without fussing about creating new
cabinent jobs by legislative enactment
President Wilson has quietly done the
thing himself.
Roover is ceretary OF food; Willard
is secretary of transportation Hurley
is secretary of shipping; Gompers is
secretary of organized labor: Gar
field is secretary of fuel; Lovett is
secretary of distribution or raw ma
terials; Coffin is secretary OF aviation.
For all practical purpose, each of
these leaders is a member of the cab
met. He enjoys the coz ;.;ence of the
President. Nobody talks about the
politics of any of these n n and mo-
body cares. 1t is enough to know that
each is an efficient expert in his own
line, and isn't playing politics.
1t may so happe that some are Re-
publcans and some democrats, but
that has nothing to do with their jobs
None of them represents a party, but
all of them represent the people of the
United States, without regard to any
of the common differences of opinion
that engage mems time and attention
in time of peace.
All of them are encouraged ard sup
pored in their work by the patriotic
press, with no thought of partisan pol
itics. Had any them been appointed
partisan, he would have been under
suspicion by the opposition press.

non-political way the best way after

Japan is the only country at War

the war, and is today far better off,
materially, than she was in 1915

THE DOUBLE FAILURE.

We are told and there is reason
not to doubt it that the statesmen and
strategists of Germany in turning
loose their submarines ruthlessly up
on all shipping indiscriminately had
two objects n Iview. One was, of
course, the obvious air of oyerpOwering
their enemies by aparlyzing oceanic
transportation, upon which the life of
Great Britain depends. The second
aim was to reduce by sheer destruc-
ton of ships the competition power of
other nations. when peace should
come and give Germany once more
the chance to resume comercial ac-
tivity throughout the world
The enforced isolation of Gerany,
prolonged as her rulers never dreamed
it could be, threatened oruin to her
commerce at the time that her enc
mics were free to work out vast COM
ercial readjustents to her disadvant-
age and see that her rivals should

gists as something worth an enor-
nous and reckless effort through the
submarines as weapon,
But they utterly micalculated in
this matter as in several other major
policies of warfare The threat OF de-
Struction merely proved an eXtraor-
binary stimulus to the nations, whose
shipping was thus threatened. In par
ticular has it aroused the United
States to a shipbuilding effort so gil
gantic in proportions that by the time
war is over and Germany comes forth
to seek trade again, she will find an
American merchant marine ridig the
sea so extensive and efficient as to
constitute a formidable rival ready
for business on the spot and backed
by an awakened nation determined to
Weld nothing to German enterprise
henceforth. Nor will Great Britain
be in the least worse off in the same
direction of more. not less formidable
merchant marine competition.
Meanwhile, the latest weekly record
of submarine achievement practically
clinches the slowly-gathering convic-
ton of all observers that this last sea
weapon of Germany has been finally
overmatched. The submarine will
not win victory. Slowly smothered,
it goes to the fate, so rightly deserved
Clerdly, therefore, it is colossal dou-
be failure that Germany must now be-
moan.
