The Wrangell sentinel., 1917-02-22

Recently a writer in the Scientific American pointed out lack of artil- lery in our military equipment. It is q subject which only an expert can elucidate with complete fairness, yet every layman should be advised tha. there is an artillery problem. The writer in question says that there are guns for 3OGdD men only. allowing three guns to thousand men. The regular army numbers approximately 100000 and has only 192 guns, enough on that basis for 6i,OOO men. The new law, it is said. provides for ASA for the regular army. Even that num- Der, after providing for wastage. will give but three guns to thousand men fn a hard campaign. Modern warfare as 1t has developed in Europe calls for lavish use of artillery. Wherever ar tillery can be made available it is the cheapest form of defense. It gives confidence to the infantry because it can damage the enemy perceptibly at long range. moreover. keep him at long range while the infantry seeks a vantage ground Springfield rifles are also lacking to supply large army. It takes a long time to manufacture guns. whether light or heavy, and since the people are to be the final arbiters for peace or war the matter of readiness or want of it should be faced frankly. Arguments showing the evil of unpreparedness are con- vincing. but mere change of mental attitude will not put up to date can- non and rifles in the camps and arse nals.

Americans Should Have Better Under

By Professor IRVING FISHER. Yale University

think the Mexican problem simply w storing order It that hut is much It is also and
 chiefly problem of determining whether the order shall be of justice nf injustice like that of Daz
 One thing clear We danger repeating the wTetched cycle which find the history of treatment of the lndansname good intentions by the people, exploitation by the few indscmnate resentment against all by those whom that have injured, GROWING SUSPICION, FOLLOWED BY LAW LESS RETALIATION AND BLOODSHED, AND FINALLY WAR AND DIFFERENTIATION.
 To prevent such results it quite important that Americans should the Mexcans and their that the Me1can should understand Americans and In spite of all the i'll hear of the Mexican character those who know country intimately like Edgar Hewitt the archaeoogs believe that the best of the Mex including best of the Mexican Indians have high and noble qualities AND THAT IT WOULD BE DIS TINCT AND PREFERABLE LOSS TO THE HUMAN RACE TO HAVE THEM EITHER DIFFERENTIATED OR DETER1O RATED THROUGH OPPRESSION.

Tksse was a time when 1t was eonsr3efed q sian, 'o refer to any one as a cabbage head. But at sae present price ot cabbage It would he a compliment to a person 10 be referred to as cabbage head.
 Just why the price of garden truck should be solring we do not know, but Il is soaring nevertheless.
 When one buys dyessuffs and pays from two ,undred 10 one shousand per cent more than for n,erlv he readily accepts the eX- planation tha; the advance in price $ due to the European war. But there are thousands of articles whose advance cannot be attributed so the European WAT.
 Whether dealer IS selling hard ware. dry goods groceries, fruits or vegetables, 1t is !Dis daily experi- ence to be asked almost every time he wraps ,,p a paci, age why the ad- vance in prlce.
 IL is only natural that the con- surner should seek some explana- ton for the unrea> nab|e advances in all lines. But the merchant does not know why-about all be does know Is that each invoice shows an increase over the previous ne.
 The most exaS perating thing about doing business in any line at presen. IS that aftct the dealer has sold an article at.1ess than a legit- innate profit the customer is still dissatisfied.
 Prices inSall lines have made un- reasonable advances, but the re- sailer is not responsible for the ad- yances. There is not one merchant in twenty who does not make less profit on every article he sells to- day than he dld three years ago.

People Should Be Allowed to Observe Sunday In Their
 Own Way
By D.. ALBERT PARKER FITCH, President of A1.jover Theo-
 logical Seminary
TAKE this matter of Sabbath ob-


 ! servance. We do not want
 twentieth century Americans to keep it as .Purit.sns surely. The day should ke kep. for what it rep resents. Behind Sunday is an i'm nense sanction, not the sanction of books or codes, but the sanction of the needs of huma lity. Men need one day in which to look for higher, eultivating things that they cannot find in the other six days.
 Think of the working conditions and the limited opportunity for rec Ieation during weess days of factory bands and lesser employees.
 They have the right, the very sanction of God, to get something of recreation and relaxation besides woTshiping on Sunday.
 TT ss WRONG TO SAY THAT ALI MUST KEEP suuDAY IN THE SAME WAY. WHEN WE LETl.MEN KEEP THE SABBATH IN THEIR OWN WAY WE ARE DlvoRciNG OURSELVES FROM SHAM.

ON PHYSICAL DISABILITY
Several Units of the Camp Will Be Brought Up to Full Maximum
 Strength.

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Oct. 2G.- A total of 306 National Army men training with the battaliOns of the 91st Division were discharged to day, their rejection being on physi cal grounds.
 The number of 9.30G will be trans ferred from the depot brigade to bring other units at Camp Lewis up to the maximum strength, in ac. cordance with instructions from the War Department.
 With these transfers several un- it's at camp can begin extensive training with a full complement of men,
 General orders were issued di- recting company commanders to see that the barracks were kept clean and well ventilated. This is to take precaution against diseases which are air-born such as spinal menin- gitis and pneumonia. While the camp is now free of all such dis eases 1t was thought well to take active precautions.

German Crown Prince Is Now in Serious
 Situation.

UNDATED, (To The Associated Press) Tt is estimated that the A. lies have taken l2,0OO prisoners in the recent drive and many addi- tional thousands were slain and wounded.
 With these losses and the loss of 120 guns the Grown Prince is in serious situation.
 General Petain's great smash Tuesday, some of the details of which were witnessed by Gen. Per. shing, opened the way for further advances.
 Thursdays attacks forced the Germans back of the Disc and Aisne canal where an additional 2,000 prisoners were taken and many guns fell into the hands of the French.
 Loan, the southern end of Hin- denburg's line, is but eight miles from the French lines, and the big guns of Petain's forces can shell them at will.
