Waterproof Substitute for Leather

The extremely high price Of leather
has been factor in producing a new
substitute which is already being used
extensively in making workingmen's
gloves, and other articles, and is prov
ing to be more durable than the split
leather used for that purpose, says an
article in Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. Unlike leather, this substitute
does not harden after being wet, but
dries soft and pliable.

with food aud munitions to make up
for the mroads ON their own shipping by
the submarines. We must confess that
the early progress Of this shpbulldlng
campaign was not as rapid a. one might
have expected OF commercial nation
like the United States And too, there
was notable tagging in the building up
Of the aviation department, not IN men
hut in machines of an approved type
There are plenty OF men ready to enter
the Air in the service of their country;
but they are sorcly handicapped by the
lack of modern fighting machines OF the
air. In the third place, there has been
some dragging in the progress OF trans
porting soldiers TO Europe, chiefly be-
cause Of the demand made by the allies
for ships carrying articles imperatiyely
demanded by the populations OF those
countries; but we were informed early
this calendar year by Secretary of War
Baker that there would be half million
men in Europe by the early part OF the
year. That early part of the year has
come and gone and there is reason TO
expect, under the greatly increased speed
of the transport movement, that his
words are practically true, II is prob
able, also, that his prediction of another
million ready to go by the latter part OF
the year will be fulfilled. The navy we
feel sure of, II already was on high
plane of war readiness, and its work has
been speeded up in the year to marked
degree. while the number of lighting
ships is being constantly increased.
Therefore, admitting that there has
been distressing slowness in some
branches. one must come to the conclu-
sion that the United States is on war
footing. A year after the formal deelara-
ton of war the nation is in most ways
prepared to take a major share in the
task of defeating kaiserism, That 1t
will give the final blow to Germany and
her allies is the belief of practically all
the people of this nation. The United
States, at the outset of the second year
of her participation in the war, means
business.

AT THE THRESHOLD OF OUR SEC
OND WAR YEAR.

1t is year since the United States
formally cast its lot with the allies in
the war. There was no doubt for months
prior to that time on what side the
United States would be aligned should it
come to a definite decision; in fact, from
the moment when the German hordes be-
gan to oyerrun neutral Belgium there
was no uncertainty as to the sentiment
of the American people. So the decision
of Congress on April 6, 1917, was antici-
pated long before that date; but the
date will go down in history as the form
al opening of the war as far as the Unit
ed States was concerned, And although
the decision was long anticipated we had
not actually begun to set our govern
mental house in order for the impend-
ing event. and the situation on April g,
1917, was decidedly unsettled. We had
not begun great mobilization of armies,
as the European nations are accustomed
to do in anticipation of declaration OF
war, enemy because we hau no 6ieae
armies to mobilize. We had consider
able war feet, well scattered over the
seven seas: but we had no fixed program
on which to make the necessary add
tons to that feet-necessary in time of
war. Nor was there machinery for rails
ing vast levies of men to bear arms on
land. Hence the first efforts of the gov
eminent had to be directed toward map
ping out programs for increasing the
armies and the navy, This occasioned
considerable delay in actual war work.
Then there came an insistent call from
our allies for the building up of mer-
chant marine capable of supplying them
