liant and painstaking management
which succeeded in meeting this de-
mand. Ali this may be admitted, not
only in the case of the William
Davies company. but in the case of
many other companies and private
firms, but it still leaves the position
taken up by Lord st. Davids, a posi-
ton which many will agree is the
only sound position, utterly unassail-
ed.
If there is one thing certain about
this war, 1t is that. financially, no bel
ligerent nation can profit by 1t. The
financial burden already imposed up
on all the nations engaged in it is
such as to render this fact beyond
dispute. And IL this fact be admitted,
this further fact at once energies,
namely, that in a great democratic
war, with conscription imposed upon
the people by the people fast becom-
ing universally accepted policy, the
next obvious step is the sconscription,
by the people, through their govern
ments, Of all the resources OF the
country.
There has been a great deal Of loose
talking and writing about the "cOn-
scription of wealth." With very little
understanding OF what it really
means, 1t has been urged as a new
departure" and almost always as a
party measure. 1t has been largely
forgotten, however, that the last
three years have done much to rem
der the term workingman unavailable
as a class distinction, and that where
every one Is presumably helping to
the utmost of his or her capacity, the
position of wealth Is left very much
where 1t was before. And yet, whilst
IL would be entirely wrong TO requisi-
ton all mans goods, as we'll as all
his time. and even his person, that Is
very different thing from the policy
involved in Lord st, Davids' conten-
ton. AS justly planned and carried
out, the taxation Of war profits
should, and would leave a mans busi-
ness, not entirely intact for post
war purposes, but greatly enlarged
and immeasurably better equipped,
1t would have, and should have no
other purpose or object in view than
to make sure that the owner bore his
due share of the burden imposed by
the war. Share and share alike"
may be q policy dificult OF realiza-
ton. but. wherever any departure
from it becomes clearly evident, that
defect should be remedied. mo one
should profit by the war;" seems to
be about as good a rule as could be
found for effecting such adjustments.

ard rifle which called for but one
type of ammunition, and for which
but one set of parts was needed.
That caused the delay, but it will re-
suit in greatly increased production,
and far greater efficiency, and no
harm has been done by the delay, as
the rifles have been ready as fast as
the men were.
The next complaint was that the
new rifle might not prove itself up to
the foreign standard. and would be
outranged by other rifles. This COM
plant does not seem to have any
better foundation than the first, for
the new rifle is admitted by British
instructors to be superior to their
own.
The United States, in it's conduct
Of the war, is making mistakes as
might be expected, but in the big
essentials it is surprising its critics,
both at home and abroad.

THE NEW ARMY RIFLE.

After all the criticism that was
levelled at the government for failure
to supply a sufficient number Of
rifles for the soldiers in the training
camps, it is refreshing to read this
dispatch from Camp Grant, Rock
ford, ILL.,:
cit shoots like ELL and the
bloody bullet goes where you put
It. was the terse comment of
British officer attached to Camp
Grant when the Wisconsin boys
were trying out their new En-
field rifles on the Camp Grant
range Saturday. The new Enx
field, officially known as United
States rifle 80 model Of 1917, has
come in for high praise from
ordnance experts who say it is
the most powerful weapon in the
world. II outclasses the British
rife of the same name. having q
chamber pressure OF $4,000
pounds in the British weapon

The first furore was aroused be-
cause rifles were not available when
the men reached camp. They had
old rifles to drill with, but every man
who has been sent abroad has had
fve Of the new rifles to draw upon,
this being the number said to be
necessary. The government refused
70 hand out contracts to all the

'Bolshevikf', according to students
of the language.
The word has been coined recently,
and might be called Russian slang.
It has come into use like the Ameri-
can words Reds. "Suffs" and
Ants which have been coined to
designate new political organiza-
tons.
".BolshevilSi" comes from the adjec-
tive ''bolshe" meaning more. The
Russian suffix "ik" is the equivalent
Of the English list. The final 'f',
apparently is the plural form. The
Bolsheviki therefore, is a more
list" or one who wants the whole
hog or none.
The 'BolshevikT' are not a new
organization, as they date back to the
pursuit OF Napoleon in his fight from
Russia, but before the revolution they
were not seeking notoriety.

This play of laughs and tears
which Winchel Smith and John l..

current runs of thirteen months In
New York and nine months In Chica-

that has seldom been attained in the
history of the theatre. 1t can be
compared only with "The Cid Home

straight to-the-heart wholesome
ness; with 1.-THE Boomerang and
THE Fortune Hunter" for clean, re-

A., he sees himself on trial for the
Identical curse against the United
States, uttered by himself; then con-
demned TO pass the rest of his life
as an unshacxled prisoner on board
a warship without ever hearing of
the country to which he belonged;
and eventually dying in his cabin

The INSTALLATION OF the story
quickens in John Alton the dormant

Meanwhile Barbara has been a
Red Cross nurse in France. The
ship on which she is returning to
America is attacked by an enemy
submarine, and the wreck floating
in mid-ocean presents a triumph to

saved from the wreck to resume the
interrupted romance with her former
lover is fully revealed in the hnal
reel. Apart from it's patriotic spirit
the picture offers seven reels Of en-
crossing entertainment.
