all druggists for past fifty years as

END OF LA FOLLETTElSM

Not a Pigment of comfort to our
non-German pacifists and other un-
Americans is obtainable from the
election. They are beaten, humbled,
routed, and their attempted rape of
the supreme bench is baffled, Berger,
their refuge and hope, is defeated, dis
credited-their whole wretched edifce
comes topping about their burning
ears.
The Berger vote stands accredited
as evidence Of their utmost power,
and never will it be so great again.
La Folletteism is in it's death throes.
The overwhelming rejection of Crown
hart, La Follette's closest lieutenant
in Wisconsin, is proof abundant.

THE MYSTERIOUS BIG GUN

L
The mystery of the monster gun
grows with the new facts learned. 1t
is now said to be in the hilly forest
of St. GObafn, near LaOn, and 76
instead Of 62 miles from Paris. If
the shell is an ordinary projectile this
would mean a muzzle velocity, not al
lowing for atmospheric resistance, of
$500 feet a second, as against little
less than 1000 feet for the range Of
% miles at which Dunkirk was
shelled. Actually the relative dif-
ference would be greater, because of
the increased air resistance at the
higher velocity.
Those who assume it to be an or
binary projectile have been speculat-
ing on the possible use Of a heavier
metal than steel to increase the mo-
mentum without increase of air resist
ance, but the very heavy metals are
limited in quantity and presumably
could not be used on a large scale.
IF the shells follow the track of Ordi-
nary projectiles at maximum range
they must attain the extraordinary al
titude Of 10 miles and remain in the
air about three minutes, travelling on
a curved path 81 miles long at an av-
erage speed Of 20 miles a minute It
is not surprising that Paris, being
within range, should give almost as
much attention to the mysterious gun
as to the battle 1t is even claimed
that the French have invented sim
liar gum though it had never been
put into use.
A few years before the war, it is in
teresting to recall, a British officer,
known as an ordnance expert, contrib
uted to one Of the leading reviews a
somewhat sensational article declar-
ing that he knew at first hand Of a
new invention which would make it
possible for London and Paris to bonn
bard each other. He declined to re-
veal the principle, but he warned the
public much as Admiral Scott did
about submarines shortly before the
war, and both have to a certain extent
been indicated in what was taken
for cratic pessimism.
If it were certain that the French
had correctly located it at st. Gobain
the range of conjecture would be
greatly narrowed. 1t is quite magma
BILE, for instance, that the Germans
may have excavated deep hole in the
rocks which fill that region, lined it
with cement, and put in a very long
steel tube of large calibre. Then a
huge shell might conceivably be fired
carrying a smaller shell inside to be
discharged on the relay principle
which has long been familiar in the
DRY, or more probably sub-caliber
shell of 91a inches might be dis
charged from large tube in the man
ner suggested by Hudson Maxim, who
has made experiments in this field;
rings carry the rif1ing and are split
and detached as the shell leaves the
gun; supplementary powder chambers
along the barrel might accelerate the
