JUST A WARNING.

England has outbid American NUM-.
ton factories in the bids recently call
cd for shells to be used on our cruis'
ers. There is considerable surprise
expre1ssd that Great Britain in the
midst OF a war and, although she is a
heavy consumer of this country's mu'
nitions plants, can underbid us.
The type OF shells called for are
not being used in this war because OF
the few sea engagements. Large sup
plies OF them have accumulated in
England and factories equipped for
their, manufacture are not overtaxed
with war orders.
This Is the first reason why Eng
land was able TO cut the prices.
On the other hand. however, there
are economic reasons involving our
utter lack Of industrial preparedness
to meet the trade competition that is
inevitable after the war
Tho bid OF this muntion plant is but
forerunner Of what the nation will
have to face in an aggravated degree
later on. Doubtless the new tariff
commission, headed by such an au-
thority as Professor Taussig Of Har-
ward, will take steps to protect the
, Industries of the nation from unfair
Apmpetition.
Marin revision is absolutely essen
tiaN to protect the business Of the ma
tiOnSwhile the adjustment to new con-
ditions is being made following the
cessation of hostilities.

PETITIONS COMING IN .
FOR AND AGAINST THE

the filing of some petitions favorable

sttutional revision, fully as many Pc
titions are being received by hold
over members from the northern part
of the state, complimenting them up
on their stand opposing any hasty
tampering with the constitution.
1t would seem that sentiment
throughout the state is by no means
unanimous. A great many people
seem to feel that the adoption OF q
new constitution is a very serious
thing. which should be given more
thought than the immediate revision
program would permit. As a result,
the senate seems to be growing more
firmly fixed from day to day in its
original stand for an orderly, If leis.

COMMERCE RAIDERS.

Germany is constantly startling the
world b. her sea feats. Her chief
delight is running England's blockade,
which is not as impervious as it was
twelve or fifteen months ago.
The destruction of large number
of merchantmen in the South Atlantic
was brilliantly executed and displayed
the Spartan spirit that enthuses the
Teutons. While the tonnage destroy
ed may be insignificant yet these con
slant drains are having their effect
in complicating England's food prob
lem. 81
Great Britain is suffering from 9
shortage Of bottoms to transfer neces.
sites Of war. The heavy taxing OF
tonnage for the transporting Of mum
tions is cutting down available space
for food products. This doubtless is
the chief reason why England has a
food dictator. but the submarine an
the commerce raider is doing much to
Increase the shortage Of sea freight
