Machinery VIII Win War
BY OR. FRANK CRANE

In a fight it's the man with the revc

In war it's the predominance Of gun F
that counts.
II is because Germany, by lDng prep
ration, by careful boarding, by conce
tration upon the one aim of military pov
er, has accumulated immense stores d
guns and ammunition, that she has VIC
her victories in this war
Every success she has had has bee
due to preponderance Of machineI
rather than men. She pulverzed tho d 4
fenses of Belgium and northern FranC
with her big Berthas. Serbia, Roumani
Poland, north Italy whatever land sf|
has won has been subdued by her II
resistible artillery.
And in the end what has been nd
triumph Will prove her defeat For WI
machinery can only be manufactured n
cooperation upon q large scale by a ped
pie of vast resources.
France and England have stiArc7dI
speeded up their constructive work 4
that they are more than holding thel

And now America is coming in AM

He became constipated and it looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed 10 act. He would turn up
