THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

Munitions-The National Geographic society has issued another bulletin dealing with the geography of muni-
 tions with reference to the war in Eu-
 rope. In this bulletin the society shows
 how almost every nook and cranny Of
 the world has been called upon for materials out of which the nations at war may fabricate the thunderbolts of Mars. The bulletin says:
 '-The demands which the war in Europe has made upon the countries of the earth for materials with which
 to prosecute it are as vast in the range Of materials used as in the quantities required. One can scarcely travel far enough afieId to get away from the war trade. Only by going into those remote interiors of the tropic world and the polar regions where civilization has only fitful occu- patton can one get away from 1t. Even in going there men are handi- capped by the demands of the war. For instance, Bartlett and Amundsen in their plans to drift through the Arctic ocean find that 1t is costing them just about twice as much to out lit as it cost in normal peace times.
 From the deep forests of Brazil there comes much of the rubber that is required. From the waste places of the world there come the cheap fir
 which >are used in the making of felt. From the gas house and the tar pot come those wonderful substances out OI Wn1cn are prepared the terT1nc explosives which are being used in such extensive fashion. From Chile come the nitrates which are SO vitally demanded in wartime. Thousands of locomotives and hundreds of thousands of cars are required. Steel rails by the shipload are ever in demand. Au- tomObfleS by the tens of thousands are constantly moving in endless process sion toward the battle front. The earth is ransacked for metals, rare and pIen- tiful alike. to aid the processes of making munitions. The cotton field, the mine, the cattle ranch, the forest, the land, the sea and even the sky itself, as it were. are forced to con- tribute to the great and greedy maw of war.
 '-Tin is widely used in the manufac- ture of anti-frictfon metals, soldiers and gunmetals. The Malay States produce about one-half of the worlds normal output of 120 900 tons. The lack of tiE has forced Germany to find other materials to substitute for 1t. |

SAVING LIVES,

1t is some years since the effort was first put forward in behalf of life conservation among those engaged in
 mining operations. It was prompted
 by the large death rate which was
 marking each year because of the lack
 Of provisions for increased safety. The
 recognition of the opportunity to bring about a great reduction in the death rate resulted in the combined efforts of the miners. the mine owners and the government to solve this problem, and each successive year has pro- duced gratifying results.
 That progress is steadily being made in this effort Is shown by the report of the government bureau of mines for 1916 which discloses that with 65,000,- 900 more tons of coal mined and more men employed than on the previous year there were A less deaths in coal mines than during 1915 and 229 less than in 1914, while the improvement over 1918 when there were 560 more deaths shows that the three years ef- fort has been worth much more than it cost.
 This great safety first movement, started in a small way. has grown to large proportions and excellent results. It is a great national asset and is re- sponsible for the stopping and turn ing back Of a record of deaths which was growing to an alarming extent. Thousands are alive today who it is magnificent service had not been launched. The record is revelation of not only what can be done but what must be continued in the future It is even an inspiration for greater ef- forts

ToNIeHr,s CITY MEETING.

Of much importance to the people of this community is the special city meeting called for this evening. The gas and electrical commissioners have reported that owing to the increase in the cost of operation their appropria- tion is exhausted and they have an ton is exhausted and they have no funds with which to carry on the business for the remainder of the fiscal year. They consider that S59, GOO additional will be required The plant Of course must be kept in operation and the necessary funds must be provided.
 But in connection with this matter of providing for the needs of that de- partment, there will also come up the question of authorizing the mayor to secure a disinterested expert to make a full investigation of the needs and workings of the gas and electrical de- partment. This doesn't mean the putting of an auditor on the books. for the city has received thorough and efficient service of that character, but the city does want to know what the situation actually Is regarding the op- eration of it's gas and electrical de- partment, why it is not producing bet ter results and what Is needed to bring 1t up to the proper state of ef- hciency. Such advice of course can not be obtained for nothing, but it can be readily understood that such an outlay is preferable if it will show us where our trouble lies and how to overcome it. to continuing samas we are with the situation steadily growing worse instead of better. It is time to get the spot light on our gas and cleo trical plant.
 These are matters which are of vital ITnW1 1FTIo fF nit and there should be a large attendance at the city meeting to see that the proper action is taken Concerning | them tonight.

SENATOR WEEKS, BOND ISSUE.

The substitute which has been pre- sented by Senator Weeks for the ad-
 ministration revenue bill is one that
 should receive the attention it de-
 serves. After a long delay the demo-
 crats brought forth their plan for
 requirements, which the treasury is
 in no condition to do. There are
 the large sums which are needed for
 putting the nation in the proper state of defense, there is the money for the purchase of the Danish West Indies, there are funds to be secured for building the government nitrate and arrnor plate plants, and there is money needed for the Alaskan railroad.
 It is the intention of the adminis- tration to raise the necessary sum to meet these requirements by placing a tax on excess profits. and of course it must be realized that there are almost linitless ways in which such emer- gency taxation can be resorted to. But such taxation. it must be understood, means that the burden for all this work is to fall upon the taxpayers of to- day, while the benefits which are to be received therefrom will cover a long period of years, and it is but proper that all those who are to receive the benefits should share-in the cost of them.
 That is the stand which is taken by Senator Weeks. who in his substi- tute measure favors a bond issue of $400, ,000, ,000 as g special preparedness fund to run for 20 years of which one- twentieth shall be paid each year. This would remove the burden from the present generation. already heav- fly taxed, and allow it to be distrib- utee in a businesslike way over long term of years.

ciated that 1t is bound to experience
 serious handicaps unless it is provided
 with sufficient funds to carry on that
 work. In recognition of such situa-
 ton. and the plan to cover every eide
 of the food question. it is planned to ask congress for an appropriation of $400.000 for this undertaking.
 There are plenty of ways for using sum of money at this time which might seem more important. but it must be appreciated that it Is an ef- vitaIly interested and in which there Is urgent demand for relief.
 Tn it's advocacy of this proposition the Chicago Herald points out that the commission will find plenty of data along certain lines since there are some big organizations which have made just such a study relative to their business as the conn mission will undertake, but these fields are limited and the Herald hits the nail on the head when it says: Tn the biggest fields of alI the work will have to be done from the ground up. There isn't farmer in Illinois who knows what it costs him to put his product on the market today. There isn't one manufacturer in ten who has an accurate idea of what it costs him to run his business"
 It is thus apparent that such an as the commission is about to undertake is greatly needed It should be thorough and not merely on the surface and for that reason it should have the funds which will en- able it to render the service that should be performed. The country will save money in the end.

The idea of even a minor degree of. espionage upon residents of this coun- try is more or less repuIsive to Amer jeans who have considered such things relics of political barbarism. It may, however, be necessary, in the present crisis to resort to something of the sort. It is proposed to secure legisla- ton by Congress providing that all aliens resident here shall file their names with local postmasters and shall name the country of which they citizens of this country. Whenever such person shall change his place of residence, he would be compelled un- der the bill to register with the post master of the town to which he goes. The United States has opened its

If, however, we are to have war with any foreign power we have a right to know who are the subjects of that power within our borders. For eign as 1t seems to our past ideas such legislation may be not only wise but necessary at this time.-Hartford

OTHER VIEW POINTS

The charges brought against the management of the Meriden School for Boys are so persistent and specific as to justify an investigation of them by the state. No one should welcome this more than the nagement and the board of directors. The charges are brought by a responsible person who is convinced that he is correct in
 his understanding of the situation. We cannot help being skeptical of their truth in view of the good repu- tation the institution has borne, but the quickest way to restore the dam age done is to inquire without preju- dice.-New Haven Journal Courier.
