which was felt eighteen miles away,
set fire to a portion Of the establish

cause heavy damage.
One man was killed Chief OF
Police Jacobson of the plant, was
carrying a blazing case OF shells
from the building when they eA-
ploded. His head was blown on. NO
one else was injured.
The explosion followed lre IN
the melting room of the proJectlle
loading house. Only ten men were
working there at the time and they
fed from behind their protecting
barriers to safety. The flames ex-
ploded hundreds Of loaded projec-
tiles stored in the room. For more
than an hour after the fire started
barrage of shell fragments and
shrapnel flew about the plant, driy-
ing fremen and others half mile
away to safety zones.
Some of the shrapnel struck houses
in the Dobbinsville section, mile
distant from the plant. The flames
spread to one of the office buildings
of the plant, but it was believed they
would be prevented from reaching
the projectile storage houses or other
mills.
Five workmen were slightly injured.
Because of blocked trolley cars. hun
dreds Of men who usually are at work
at the hour of the explosion had not
arrived when the blow-up occurred.
The flames were extinguished at
noon and an immediate investigation
was begun by Superintendent Paris.

to wage war effectively? How
would we fare if we should
officer the army down the line
on such a policy? Would it be
well to have our regiments,
brigades and divisions handled
by men of political prowess,
though lacking in military ex-
perience and training? Would
it not be a splendid thing for
the enemy but fatal to our
chances of victory? Do we
want to pave the way for an
other battle of Bull Run.
If it is not safe policy to
chose army officers on a po-
litical basis then why should
We make an exception in ia
vor of Roosevelt. Certainly
Roosevelt's fame rests on poll
teal. not military ability. His
experience as a soldier was
brief and his appointment at
that time was a political favor
from q friendly president. To
lead a modern command with
new weapons, methods and OBJ
iects the colonel may not be at
all qualified. The cold facts
are that from military stand
point there are thousands of
men in this country better fit
ted than he to wear the stars
to which. .the colonel aSpireS.
At a time when congress is
extremely busy with serious
pertaining to the
war it is unfortunate that
friends of Roosevelt should
make themselves a disturbing
element by trying to get him
high army commission through
special legislation based on
political considerations rather
than military merit.
If all our celebrities should
follow the colonel'S example
we would have turmoil indeed
and the kaiser would have
grounds for regarding demo-
cracy as a joke.

CUT OUT THE POLITICS

IF we are to organize our
- army on a basis of giving
high commands to men of
sPohtical prominence then
Roosevelt should be allowed to
lead his division. He is one of
our political idols and after the
president as popular man as
there Is in the country.
But would that be the way

CHAMPS SHOTGUN RACE

m NSWERING his constitu-
~ ents who urged him to
vote for the selective draft
bill, Speaker Clark, with his
usual egotistic insolence, said
that he knows all the men who
wired him and that he will
take a shotgun and run the
'skunkers" out of his district.
We would like to see this
scrap and the subsequent race.
1t is dollars to doughnuts that
Champ will lead it and will do
the best running he has done
in his life.
The people of Missouri,
however, will be satisfied if
his constituents will run him
out of congress, where the ma
tion's crisis has exposed his
unfitness to lead anything but
a shotgun race or a "guff"
gabfest-St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.
Men like Bryan, Roosevelt
and Borah, can, if they will,
accomplish more good on the
platform in this country than
by trying to swing sabres in
Europe; let them all volunteer
as Bryan did for work in any
capacity where they may be
needed.

If the submarine menace is
as great as depicted yesterday
then it would seem that the
elimination of the U-boat is a
step to be taken before a very
large American army is sent
to Europe.
