Defends Administrations.

setts senator's criticism of the fuel ad-
ministration as being bureau largely
composed Of amateurs" declaring the
fuel and also the food administrators
are both well qualified and with the or
ganixatfons they have created are
serving the country solely for pa
triotic reasons"
Senator Lodges speech was referred
fiberate word lashing," its tendency
being to bring the entire administra-
tion into r'disrepute."
To refute Senator Lodges statement
that no actual sugar shortage existed,
Senator Jones said that Agricultural
Department reports show that on Au-
gust 81. 1917, sugar stocks were 125, 600
tons below normal
In defending the administration s
sugar price fixing policy, he said 1t was
diffcult to conceive that anything re-
suited other than a benefit to the
without injury to the producers"
Taking up the coal situation, Sen
ator Jones said:
The activities of the fuel admins
tration from the very beginning have
been directed toward supplying the
extraordinary war demand for coal on
the part of the government itself and
those branches of industry which the
government has called into war serv-
ice. With the entire coal output made

B1ames Transportation.
TT is my belief that the question as
to the causes of a shortage of coal and
the high prices can be .ansWered with
one word-transportation Had trans
portation been unlimited. think there
can be no doubt but what the ordinary
machinery for the distribution would
have expanded and met all demands"
Fuel Administrator Garfeld's fuel
order temporarily closing industries
east of the Mississippi river during
certain days also was defended by Sem
ator Jones, who said:
That the order was not wholly with
out justification may reasonably be in
ferred from the fact that after the
effects of its operation in this country
were known a similar order was issued
and made effective in Canada"
In closing. Senator Jones denied that
the administration has been entering
upon activities for the purpose of pro-
vfding positions for democrats"

Price Policies Have Pre-
vented Chaos.
STOP HECKLING, HE URGES

Speaking in defense Of the food and
fuel administrations in the Senate to-
day, senatoS Jones Of New Mexico ex-
onerated both of blame for the recent
sugar and coal shortages. he declared
their price fixing policies have saved the
country from "chaos and confusion"
Senator Jones. who was a member OF
the manufactures subcommittee which
Investigated the sugar and coal short
ages. spoke in reply to Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts,, who recently de-
nounced price-nxing as failure,
blamed the fuel scarcity on Administra-
tor Garfield and asserted that the sugar
shortage was largely artificial.
Let these organizations alone
urged Senator Jones. 'If they need
more power, give it. Don't badger or
heckIe them. On the other hand. help
and encourage them. Let US not say
to the world that the affairs of our
government at this time are in incom-
petent hands. To the contrary, let us
tell the truth and say to the world
that the resources of this country are
being successfully modified for the
purposes of the war"

ANOTHER BIG GUN

A few days ago the world was as
tonished at the news that Paris was
being bombarded by huge gun To-
Gated In Gobian forest. rs miles from
the capital of France. 1t was un-
believable, but the facts are now ad-
mitted. Science acknowledged the
great achievement OF the German
experts. The ingenuity which could
construct a weapon which would fire
at SO long a range was acclaimed
BY foe as we'll as friend. But 1t has
proved to be OF no use except the
bombardment OF large city Of or a
large battle area on account of the
immobility OF the weapon. Bombs
dropped from airplanes are more
accurate and do greater damage.
But Yankee ingenuity has gone
them one better. In Philadelphia at
the present time there are being
made on large scale guns that will
shoot over so miles with much more
destructiveness and accuracy than
the German piece, and which are
described as being "of more military
value than the Browning machine
gun.'
The new American gun shoots a
shell about an inch larger in dame
ter than the German piece, which
measures 90 inches, and carries a
heavier charge of explosives and
metal But its greatest advantage
Is that II can be moved about on a
flat car or its own trucks, and can
be sighted, while the German gun is
built in fixed position and is firm
ly imbedded in block Of cement.
Thousands of the new piece are
said to be under construction in a
closely guarded factory in Philadel-
phia and the weight OF .he monster
will be felt by the enemy before a
great while Then the kaiser will
learn from his own people what the
bombardment of cities means, and
his troops will know of its accuracy
and destructiveness.
The plans regarding the new gun,
such as were made public, we're CIV
en- out by Samuel VI. Vauclain, ord
nance expert OF the council OF de-
fense, and vice-president of the Bald
win Locomotive Works.

concentrate great offensive strength
suddenly at one place. and expsnd
the requisite number OF shells and
men.
Granted a knowledge Of the game
such as is possessed by both antag-
onists in this struggle, and per-
sonal courage and fighting efficiency
among the rank and file. In which
respect there is not much difference
apparent on the western front, the
results might almost be figured out
beforehand, by a knowledge Of ma
thematical factors. Indeed, II is the
prevailing practice, among the Ger
mans and allies alike. to figure out
"objectives" in just about this way.
But there is one great difference
in the application OF these princi-
pies which this German drive has
brought ont with striking distinct
ness. II is a difference based on
relative respect for human life. In
planning blow, and delivering it,.
the British and French always reck-
on, first OF all. on paying as low as
possible a price in men. Wherever
they can, they substitute machinery
for human bodies. They depend on
guns for thorough preparations be-
fore they charge under cover of ar
mored tanks. they use liberal bar
rage fire, they move forward eau
tiously. The French are past-mas-
ters in this supreme type OF war
economy.
The Germans practice the opposite
system. The German general staff
provides guns. to be sure. in great
quantities. But II depends primar-
lily on men. and to win any desired
objective filings them away with
what seems reckless abandon. This
was true in all the early battles OF
the war. when Germany considered
her millions inexhaustable. II has
been as true as ever since this great
est OF battles, despite a shortage OF
human fighting stun which has be-
come as serious in Germany as in
France, and more serious than in
England. The gray masses that
rolled toward the British trenches
time after time we're moved down
until the gunners sickened of the
work. And still other masses rolled
on.
The kaiser and Hindenburg and
Ludendorff were willing to pay the
price. And they are still willing.
They may even take Paris-if their
cannon fodder lasts long enough. II
they stop short OF their great OBJ
jective, 1t will mean that Germany
has no men left to do anything more
than to hold desparingly to a defen-
sive line.
Nothing could represent more
clearly the basis contrast between
the two civilizations represented.
The Prussian idea is to sacrifice
every man, IL necessary, for material
gain and "glory" for the sovereign
class. The allied idea is to conserve
men as long as possible, because
they are infinitely more precious
than land. wealth or prestige.
1t Is the difference between au-
tocracy and democracy.

The changes in the sheriff vote are
as follows: Perry Gardner loses one

leaving his total 697. Godfrey gains
nine votes in Manchester, loses two in
Peru and gains seven in Woodford.
This makes his total So Hurley loses
four votes in Dorset, two in Peru and

dy gains two votes in Peru and loses
one in Pownal, fixing his total at sol.
