The shipping business was never so

good, too, for years after the great

Widespread Use of What Was at First

Regarded as a Mere Toy.
Tinkering in his machine shop to de-
sign a novel Christmas present for n
.. his boys, Elmer \. Sperry a few
years back stumbled on to "a half dozen
new applications of what had previous
ly been regarded as a merely inter
esting mechanical curiosity. the gyro-
scope.
Now his inventions will keep a ship
from rocking and the passengers from
seasickness, al airship from air peck
cts and furnish the only true compass
that the mariner, guide or air pilot
knows. Making the gun deck of a bat
tleship as steady n gun mount as may
be had OF land, the gyroscope eventual
ly will double the efficiency Of the
navy, it is said. Anything that needs
stability, excluding possible Central
American governments and street cars,
needs a g~yroscopc. Mr.. Sperry told u
Detroit audience.
The use of submarines and airships
has been made possible largely through
the gyroscope. Before the stabilizers
were put aboard the undersea boats,
because of their cigar-like shape, rolled
so frIghtfully that no man could live in
them. With One of the little tops"
aboard The Deutschland can ride as
evenly as a mammoth liner on a
smooth sea. The principal advantage
to airships has been in the gyroscope
compass, which possesses the advan-
tage of always pointing north. An ordi-
nary magnetic compass in practical use
under stress points anywhere from
northwest to northeast-and sometimes
southeast. Detroit News.

wHA1ic CAN WE DO?

Some OF the press now loudly clam
orng for war might enlighten the pub
lie upon the first steps we could take.
Our army is not large enough to guard
the various highways Of commerce in
the United States and as an eXpedi-
tionary force, its arrival in Europe
would be of little military signiti.
canoe.
William Jennings Bryan's "million
men overnight" is one Of those mill
tary mirages that the pacifists have
been dangling before Congress ever
since the nation demanded adequate
preparedness.
What could we do if we declared
war?
It would take this nation at least
two years to raise and equip an army
that could be OF any assistance to
the Allies. Kitchener found England
apathetic at first. What would be the
response in this nation with the war
zone three thousand miles away If 1t
took England two years to overcome
national inertia toward a conflict at
her very doors?
Our entry into the war is a serious
matter Any attempt to join the Eli
tente and send expeditionary forces
to Europe will meet with storm OF
opposition.
Doubtless the first move in case
Germany's submarine warfare VIC
lates our rights as prescribed by VIII
son would be to seek some means to
protect our shipping. One method
would be to take up patrol duty in wa
ters now covered by fleets of the Brit
ish navy, releasing the Entente yes
sells for duty nearer the war zone.
All developments at Washington
disclose the fact that the administra-
ton is trying every expedient to pre-,
vent open hostilties. Probably it will
be impossible to avoid the threatened
break, but for a year at least this
nation will play small part in the
world war, should it actually be in
volved in hostilities.

NO GRANDEUR INIT.

One of the semi-official organs of
France bursts into rhapsodies, thus:
circumstances give to Mr.. VIII
sons act an incontestable grandeur"
1t may look grand to the French.
but it strikes us as serious only, the
grandeur having fizzled out of war, or
anything that looks like war.
That our nation is compelled to
break its amicable relations with any
other nation is matter of regret to
the President and to the people, with
out . particle of heroics in it. The
nation waited long, endured much and
resorted to all preventives that could
be resorted to without positive sacri'
nee Of honor and decent standing
among civilized peoples. Hard neces
sity compelled the breach with Ger
many, and while certain that they are
IN the right, the American people re
sard the status quo with sadness and
regret.
