Winding Up Shell Orders
New York Journal Of Commerce
Pastor The Peoples Church.
(Nsxti my First Sermon" by Rev. p. M. Lindbers.)

The announcement from Philadelphia that new
war order contracts would not be placed in this
country by Great Britain caused little surprise in
financial circles. The Baldwin Locomotive works,
the Eddystone Ammunition company and the Mid
vale Steel works are all said to have been notified
that all contracts for the manufacture of shrapne
and other shells must be completed by March 81
and that that date all foreign contracts entered
into by the British government for these war mu-
ntions would lapse.
For months past there had been ntimatons
that Great Britain was increasing its output OF
munitions to such an extent that it was only a
matter of a comparatively short time before it
would be unnecessary to secure supplies abroad
and it was a matter of common knowledge in the
financial district that the war order contracts with
the allies were drawn to expire with the end Of
this month England, according to a recent off
cial statement, now has 1900 manufacturing plants
at work turning out munitions and the number OF
workers in these establishments is said to be
nearly 100000.
France is also said to be now in position
where it does not need munitions from this side
Of the water, but Russia, it is understood, still
expects to continue buying here and has given no
notice OF an approaching termination OF orders
In addition to the economy effected by max
ing its own munitions, Great Britain is said to
have been moved by the increasing difficulties of
getting the supplies across the ocean because of
the increased submarine activity.
american manufacturers nave Deen making
plans for some time past to find new lines OF out
put when the demand for munitions slackened
Only few days ago the Baldwin Locomotive
works, it was learned from Philadelphia, dis
charged 1880 ammunition workers and took steps
to extend its activities in the development of its
own business as soon as the balance of its unex-
PRED contracts ran out. On February % the
Marlin Arms corporation announced that it had
taken over the plants OF the Standard Roller Bear
ing company of Philadelphia and the Rockwell
Drake corporation OF Fairfield, Conn. In letter
sent to stockholders it stated that the acquis-
ton of the companies both of which had been
engaged in the manufacture of roller and ball
bearings, would assure the Marlin organization
an active business when the demand for NUM-
tons slowed down. The company recently COM
pleted an order for 5000 Colt automatic machine
guns for a foreign government and is working on
additional orders
Railway equipment corporations which are
now winding up their war order contracts for the
allies have sufficient orders in their own business
to keep their plants running we'll into 1918. Prac-
tically all the plants now working on war orders
have plans laid for the future that will obviate
any sackening in their business.

Stirring the Dust of Dead Ages.

The forty centuries that looked down from
the Pyramids on the army OF Napoleon seem
brief space OF time compared to the ages that
have been disturbed by General Maude's men at
Bagdad Armies Of the world from past without
record have marched through the dust now stirred
by British feet. One OF the curious effects OF the
war is that its "far-fung battle line has revived
interest in places long ago forgotten, save by the
archaeologists, who busy themselves with the
fragmentary traces Of mans beginnings. Thus
the geography that includes the Tigris and the
Euphrates has had more attention in the last two
years than it got from the public in century
before.
The moral effect OF the Maude victory is i'm.
portant enough to outshine any material advan-
tage that it may bring to the Entente's cause. 1t
will serve in large measure to re-establsh Brit
sh prestige, which had been sadly shaken by Kut-
el-Amara and Gallipoli The Turk is driven a
little closer into his corner while the ambition Of
Germany for direct connection with the eastern
empire is for the time at least thwarted. Control
of this region for the present OF great strategic
value, too, and should have decided effect on
future operations. But for Great Britain the main
thing is that the lesson of Khartum is once more
impressed on the wild men of the desert.

Lack of Neighborly Concern.

Three recent episodes in Omaha might be used
to point to a rather unwecome conclusion. In
the first well-known business man shot and
killed himself in his car, which stood beside the
road for fully twenty hours, while many others
passed before any stopped to learn the cause Of
the car standing there idle. On more recent
occasion another prominent man fell and injured
himself so he could not rise. He called for help
to the occupants OF one after another OF passing
automobiles, but got no assistance until someone
elephoned the police, reporting that the cries of
the injured man were disturbing the neighbor-
hood. For the third, dead man sat on box on
downtown street for some hours before anybody
troubled about him.
These events suggest that we are entirely too
sef-centered and, moving each in his own little
circle are losing touch with humanity at large.
Big things stir our interest and arouse our SYM
pathy in mass, but lesser things nearer at home
are neglected. One reason for this is, OF course,
that the generous impulse of well.meaning
Samaritans very frequently ends in such disaster
that even the more sympathetic and willing are
cautious when it comes to going to the rescue OF
an apparently needy person. A line must be
drawn somewhere. but it ought to be on the near,
rather than the far, side OF neighborly concern

Food spectators down east gave consumers
of canned fruits another squeeze last week.
Prices were pushed up from 4 to 9 cents a can

and they need the money. Besides, they like to

Official food inspectors found $500 bushels
OF potatoes cached in one storage cellar in Chi

but the quantity didn't bring a flicker of a smile
to E. Percy Miller Percy owns up to 100000

Pa, sailed from Boston for Costa RIGA last week,
with the greater part OF the steamer pre-empted
with cargo resembling Noahs collection on the

Officers For an Army

An army order has been issued calling for the
designation in every regiment or sixty or more
men fitted to receive commissions in temporary
military force, should such defense be organized.
Selection made in this proportion in all branches
OF the service should yield 1900 officers.
Let there be no doubt that the number can be
obtained. When Captain Won Papen, the German
military attache, watched the landing OF the
American troops in Vera Cruz, he reported to
his government in Berlin that there were in the
United States army at least 10000 private soldiers
capable OF assuming commissions and command
IN the event of war. He did not overstate the
fact
Tried by the test OF Texas our Guard regi.
ments contain a considerable number OF men OF
proved capacity for commissions. Pattsburg and
similar camps would furnish their quota at need
and so would the reserve.
The war tragedy of Great Britain was the
costly sacrifice in the first campaign of the little
expeditionary army and the Canadian commands
earliest brought to the line, containing thousands
Of men fitted by talent and experience for com.
mand. II left no one to lead or instruct new

The Why and Wherefore Of cloture.

Discussion OF the new cloture rule and criti-
csm of the senate for tolerating unlimited de-
bate all these years is unfortunately putting into
circulation a lot of transformation. 1t is, Of
course difficult to explain to people how any leg
islative body should be governed by code OF
procedure that prevents the dominant majority
from doing anything pleases any time it pleases,
but the fact is that our federal constitution does
not contemplate a strict rule of majority, and
the upper branch OF congress was originally con-
stituted for the express purpose OF putting check
upon majority rule.
While membership in the house is apportoned
according to population, membership in the senate
recognizes the equality of the states and in the
beginning the senator's were looked upon as serv-
ing their states almost in the role of ambassa-
doris, each with equal voice and vote, and not to
be bound to anything except with consent. The
provision of the constitution guaranteeing that
mo state shall be deprived of its equal represen-
tation in the senate" is the one section which by
its terms cannot be repealed. The ultra states
rights doctrine held that no state could be COM
PEELED against its will to accept law OF the United
States to which it seriously objected. 1t is the
irony OF fate that it devolved upon Andrew jack
son, the patron saint Of democracy, to put down
notification, and, again, upon Woodrow Wilson,
another democratic president, to make impos-
sbe, hereafter, the defeat Of legislation obnox-
ious to any one state or group of states unless
they can command one-third Of the votes in the
senate. In word, unlimited debate, giving a
handful Of senators an absolute veto-power on
lawmaking was the strongest remaining bulwark
Of states rights and the new cloture is sure to
exert a powerful influence for nationasm and
stronger central government
