U. S. CANNON TO WHIP KAISER.
Artillery to Cost Hundreds Of Millions;
Must Build Twenty Plants.

Washington, D. c. Sept 1.-THE
war can not be won without cannon"
an ordnance expert declared here. He
is engaged with other experts and
army officers in planning for the man
ufacture of 5000 mobile cannon to be
shipped to General Pershing in France
within year and a half
Hundreds of millions of dollars
must be provided by congress and
plans for obtaining the money already
have been made-to furnish the heavy
guns that American soldiers must have
in the French trenches. However, little
has been heard of the gigantic artil-
lery undertaking going on behind the
scenes Of war activities here, which
extends to factories all over the United
States which are preparing to turn
out guns just as readily as they have
been turning out plowshares Of peace.
To solve the problem Of procuring
guns in the shortest possible time and
to safeguard the expenditure of the
public moneys, the war department is
pursuing policy of selecting in vari-
Gus parts of the country in the best
centers for the kind Of labor required
for the production Of ordnance ma

real accomplishments In manufacture
ing industries, along lines fairly COM

facture of cannon.
BY appealing to the patriotism Of big
manufacturers and setting before them
the very needs of the country, they
have been persuaded to undertake the

and machining and assembling finished
guns.
BY this method the ordnance depart
ment is developing not one but up
wards of twenty very high grade or
CARNATIONS, each devoting its ener-
gies to the solution of the problem OF
producing steel Of given quality or
forgings of a given specification or
machining and assembling guns of a
given type and caliber, thus reducing
the problem to its simplest elements
and utilizing to the greatest possible
advantage the ability, initiative, and
energy of number Of groups Of high
grade men.
Announcement of the location OF
some Of plants may be made soon.
It is known that some of them will be
in illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, and
other central states.
Artillery officers Of the army feel
that so much publicity has been given
to the very great need for aeroplanes
that the even greater need of cannon
of all sizes has been very largely OBJ
secured. They say that every action
on the western front IN Europe more
and more emphasizes the fact that the
question Of success Is almost wholly
a n,,es+ion IF superiority in cannon and

ter, but the policy of the government
is not to interfere unless federal stat
utes are violated.

It was pointed out that the federal

Stays Son Of His Nsiqhbor.

Mount Pleasant, Sept. 3.-Clarence
Hedden, aged 30, waited at a church
Sunday and then shot and instantly
killed Raymond Matthews, aged Is.
The latter Is the son Of a prosperous
farmer Of the same neighborhood.
No conversation passed between the
two. and no reason has been assigned
for the shooting. Hedden Is In Jail.
Sunday school was just being dis
missed at the Wesley chapel, a rural
place of worship in the township. The
children of the neighborhood and their
elders were passing out. Matthews had
just reached the steps, when Hedden.
who was standing near the corner OF
the building began shooting. One after
another he put five bullets through the
youths body before the latter fell.
Then Hedden calmly cranked his
automobile, got in and drove, to Mount
Pleasant, where he gave himself up to
the sheriff and was locked up.
The shooting was witnessed by
practically the entire Sunday school
congregation, about fifty persons.

Chicago. Sept s.-Holiday conditions

demand for hogs today to lack urgency.
Even for the best butchers,
Comparatively small receipts are
booked for this week, and the tendency
OF values Is stu upward. Buffalo re-

iianapolts, outside markets quoted
prices generally 1895 cents higher
than Friday.
Top hogs at Chicago for the week

figured $3.50, the third highest on rec
ord 80 cents lower than the previous
week $3.50 higher than a year ago ana
S1O.25 higher than two years ago.
Average weight of hogs for the week
was estimated at 2S4 pounds, or only
one pound lighter than the heaviest
week Of the year. which was heaviest
in two wears four pounds lighter than
the previous week, same as a year ago,
ten pounds lighter than two years ago
and fourteen pounds lighter than three
years ago, but six pounds heavier than
four years ago.
Cattle.
The fact that no local killers were at
work tended likewise to handicap
sellers Of cattle.
The plain kinds did not improve any
during the past week and at times
were little weaker, causing a wider
spread in prices than ever before.
Anything Of a common grade that ala
not suit as feeders sold to least advan'
tage from start to finish, but those
which came in competition with the
country demand cleared with fair free
dom.
It was an irregular market most
days on the plain to medium kinds, but
choice to prime offerings were always
snapped up, seemingly there being no
limit to what buyers would pay for
finished corn fed animals of various
weights.
Quality was about the same as the
previous week and finished stock was
scarce. while good kinds were In fair
proportion. The scarcest kind Of steers
were those averaging over 1900 pounds,
while a good many Of the offerings
averaged between 1900 and 1,40o
