 Iess, how can the recent efforts 0.

That he should work with Germany to avoid condition which are almost sure to involve this country in the war is no more than natural and proper. It is possible that Germany ia confidence made known her plans in case peace could not b obtained and used them to get the support of America in the peace movements. Possibly, as was hinted at the time, Mir. Gerard was the ex- pcsiter of the German views on his recent visit to this country.

Any one who has read with care such dispatches as have been received here for the past three weeks or so does not have to be particularly astu.e
 to know that a movement of tre-
 mendous import is afoot in Europe. Tbe German offer of peace, the Wil- son aote, and the Lansing interview all may be considered highly signi- ficant from at least one angle. On the other side have been the prompt refusal to accept peace on the terms embrac in the German proposal. And yesterday comes the amazing news that Germany expected the en- tente to refuse the peace offer and had prepared. ia such eventuality, to make war without regard to the Dec larations of London, or Paris, or any tribunal of international law what ever Germany is to attempt, accord ing to the Chicago American, to cut

 This is a remarkable pronouncement, If true. Now what are the chances that the American is correct in it's prcgnostication as to the German plens? For a number of reasons they seem very good. Let it be supposed that the plan as stated is substantial ly what Germany purposes to do and that publication of this was desired in an unofficial manner to see what effect 1t would have In that clse there can be little doubt that the Hearst papers would be the medium chosen. They have been the German medium for reaching the American public many times. Before the fall of Liege Hearst's Boston paper printed the first of the famous Musterhu.g interviews. If Germany were voiun- tarily to give out to the world through the press any such momort- ous warning. she would certainly fix on the Hearst publications as the mediums. So it appears from tl!is point of view that the news has some

color of authenticity. Let another point of view be assembled. Suppose that the Hearst editors had become convinced that a great game is afoot &moag the diplomats. Many inter- views between Gerard and Hollweg and between B rns,orff and Lansing had convinced them of the existence of big news possibilities behind the di- plomatic screen of secrecy. In this case who other than Hearst would give a fabulous sum to bribe some at- tache to make known to his papers exclusively the main facts? More than this the London Times fore casted two months ago just such a move on tie part of Germany as is
 ow being made This conservative and we'll informed journal declared that Germany was soon to present peace plans which it we'll knew the all'cs would not accept. Then. using the refusal as an excuse, Germany would attempt to exonerate herself in
 ac eyes of the neutrals for the merci- less submarine warfare she thinks ls one best move to cause her strongest t0o, England, the most suffering. The Times went even further and stated that the British were well informed a3 to the construction of hundreds of
 uhmar.nss and flying craft by the Germans.
 These and other significant consd- oIations led to the conclusion that the .-called premature statement of Ger rrany's plans may have excellent basis
 IL fact. Viewed from another angle. coIro3ora ton of the Americans story may bt had. Germany as long ago ag last summer made preliminary overturnes for peace. And yet by the testimony of the London Times she went right on with an extensive program for the construction of sub marlaes. Zeppelins, and airplanes. She would hardly have continued to spend m, ney on these war craft if she had hcpe that the allies would accept tn, rcace offer A reasonable deduction from such factssas are at hand is that Germany fully intends to attempt complete blockade of England's ports. CCrroboraticn Of this conclusion came
 O lght yesterday when passengers on a Holland Lner told in New York of tEe mines and submarines in British waters and the new rc gulations which are to govern British shipping. These rules indicate that the admiralty is guarding against sea-perl as it has not done so far during the war It i would appear that the German activity i has considerably intarfered with Brit ish shipping or it is considered IS about to do so.
 r these conclusions be accepted ten tatively pendi g the actual outcome, what will be the part played by the United States in the great drama whose climax is so rapidly approach ing? The most obvious answer would appear to be that this country would have to make war against Germany she would be forced into this by Ger

Saving the Bullets.

There are several kinds of airplanes
adapted to different kinds of military
service and their equipment varies ac-
cording to whether they are intended
chiefly for scouting, for bomb dropping
or for gun fighting. On most of the
machines of the last-named or battle
plane type, a writer in the Scientific
American says, machine gun is so
fitted as to point along the axis of the
machine. The pilot, who is alone, di-
rects the nose of his airplane at the
enemy and fires across the propeller.
Two plans were tried for preventing
the propeller from being broken by
the bullets. The first consisted of
stopping the machine gun whenever
the propeller came within the field Of
fire, but experience showed that fire.
quent stopping of the gun with the
propellers making 1000 revolutions
minute ends in putting the gun out Of
order. Designers then placed steel
plates on those parts of the propeller
likely to be struck, and these plates
turn the bullets that strike the pro-
Deller. 1t is mathematically calculat-
ID that only one bullet in eighteen Is
wasted In this way.

MAY USE DRASTIC MEAS UREs
Government May Be Compelled to Act
Sternly in Connection With Kan
sas Mining Strike.

Extreme measures may be adopted
by DR.. H. A. Garfield, federal fuel ad.
ministrator, in the event the miners
Of the Southwest refuse to accept the
automatic" penalty clause in the new
wage contract and strike. Following
district presidents of the United
Mine Workers of America to continue
their conference with Doctor Garfield
and the operators, the fuel administra-
tor conferred with Attorney General
Gregory regarding the extent of his
authority to deal with strike.
Coal production in Southwestern
Kansas practically reached the vanish
ing point when more than fifty mines,
employing eight thousand men, hav-
ing total output of thirty thousand
tons daily, were closed as a protest
against automatic" strike fines and
failure to receive wage increase.
Mine workers in the district head
quarters asserted the convention in
Kansas City November IL will almost
unanimously uphold the action Of the
mine union leaders in refusing to &C.
cept Doctor Garfields demand.
A resolution adopted by the local
at Arma is typical of those being
passed throughout the district:
Resolved, That we, the members
of Local Union No. 1858, condemn the
action Of DR.. H. A. Garfield and w. L.
A. Johnson and President f. w. Lu-
kins of the operators association in
regard to the automatic filming clause
being adopted in our agreement with
out giving fair and impartial trial,
and therefore
"Be it Resolved, That we indorse
the action of President Howat and all
the officers opposed to it,"
Howat later ordered the men to re-
sumo work pending q settlement of
The matter.

STANDARD is O. X. IN KANSAS
State Supreme Court Modifies the
Antitrust Decision-Company
Plans to Resume Operations.

The state supreme court has modi-
fled its judgment rendered in the anti
trust suit against the Standard Oil
Company six years ago, so that the
Standard Oil Company of Kansas and
the Standard Oil Company of Indiana
can engage in the production of oil in
this state. This means a big impetus
to oil production in the Butler county
field.
When the antitrust judgment was
rendered the two companies were sub
sidiary concerns of the big Standard
Oil group. Later On they were segre-
gated by the decree of the United
States supreme court and became sep
arate and Independent companies.
When part of the group the STAN
dard of Kansas refined oil and the
Standard of Indiana marketed it. Nei-
ther was engaged at that time in the
production of oil, so the Kansas SUI
preme court judgment was written in
a way that forbade them from ever en-.
gaging in the production of oil. But
since they have become separate con-
Germs, working independently of each
other, and Of the parent concern, each
has decided to go into the production
business. To do so the Kansas de-
cision had to be modified. Application
for such modification was made by the
companies and the court granted it.
The attorney general made no objec-
tion to the modified order.
Earl Evans, attorney for the two
companies, announced that the two
companies will spend vast amount of
money in oil development in the new
Kansas oil field.
