that the Russian revolution has not

UNHAPPY WINTER AHEAD.
Conditions this winter in the big
cities will be very unhappy. The peas

peasants, constituting the real back

thousands of soldiers loaflng in the

With the French Armies at the
Front, Sept. 25.--For the first time in
othe worlds history, battles today are
being fought on the French front where
the number of artillerymen. "prepar-
ing the attack equals-and often ex-
ceeds-tho number of infantrymen in
the assault.
Artillery preparation today means
perhaps a million shells day--a rec
ord frequently reached in recent
French offensive attacks.
such concentration of artillerymcn
and of shells is the greatest develop
ment yet reached in the warfare of
material" 1t is the basis on which
American troops will participate.
When American infantrymen eventual
ly are called upon to "go over" it
should be after artillery prepara ton
possibly not of million, but of two
million shells a day.
MUST FURNISH SHELLS.
Already this new massing of artil-
lery has been developed by the French
to a point where the material exceeds
the widest ina gination of three years
ago.
In the April offensive along the Aisne
and Moronvilliers crest, the French
fired day after day an average of a
million shells a day. Had the United
States been in a position at that time
TO farnish France with one million
shells a day indefinitely, the war might
have been over by now
Comparative figures show this great
artillery development. In the German
assault on verdun last year the enemy
seldom was able to fire over 100000
shells day In the French attack on
Nerdun. Aug 20, the maximum of 400,-
900 a day was reached.
For the French portion Of the Fiand-
ers atta&k in July, If all guns used had
been placed side by side instead of in
successive rows, they would have been
too close together for safety in firing.
SAVES LIVES OF MEN.
II is general Petain's philosophy that
no military commander now has the
right to send human breasts against
material.
In gigantic attacks during the sum :
mer in Flanders, on the Aisne, against
Moronvilliers and Ferdun regiments of
French troops have captured prefiXed
objectives without a single soldier
killed. The tremendous artillery prep
aration permitted 1t.
If America supports her infantry with
an artillery program equal in every
way to that which the French have
developed-and are now developing to
an even greater degree-she can count
not only on victory, but victory at a
cost of life that will be proportionately
smaller as her material preparation is
greater.

tells to barricade their windows with
chutters and to secure provisions
enough for u fortnight, officially ad-

for even few days will mean a food
shortage.
During the night strikers cut the

company's land wires. because they
were within the railroads right of way,
