CONCRETE SHIPS GNIN.

tENerN WISCONSIN,
The idea Of using concrete for the
hulls of ships seemed very daring
when announcement that italians
had decided to undertake it was made
nearly twenty wears ago. Today the
concrete ship is a widely recognized
achievement A recent writer. sum
marizing its advantages. says a con-
crete ship can be built in one-half
the time required for the construction
of any other type, and at a cost 60
per cent lower than for wood or steel.
IT Involves little need of skilled labor.
These are important advantages, but
there are others, one of them being
the immunity of concrete ships from
the deleterous action of salt water
which in the case of wood and steel
requires much docking, scraping and
painting; and freedom from the de-
structive boring animal life of the sea,
One expert, in telling epigram, de-
clares that the concrete ship is "rat
proof, rot proof and fireproof." 1t
would seem that the concrete ship Is
likely to figure largely in the future.

GERMNNYS MONEY CONGES-
TION.

Germany today is literally stagger-
ing under its burden of money. The
currency is not of gold or silver, TO
lie sure, because nearly all of the gold
and silver have been sent out of the
country to settle international eX-
change with the nearby neutral coun-
tries. 1t is the sort of money that
can he produced by the printing press
in unlimited Quantities.
As this money cheapens prices go
up, because the people who have 1t
want to get rid of it as something OF
value. Just before the close of our

shod in the south.
Stories from the bordering towns
and cities of Holland and Denmark
agree that the German people are
trying to get rid of the money they
are paid in salaries and wages. They
buy anything they can get that is of
use to them. When they cannot buy

money in the banks, in the hope that
after the war the paper currency will
become redeemable in gold.
When the war began the total cir

and papsn--was about thirteen hun
dred million dollars. At the begin
ming of the present year it had
mounted to nearly five thousand
million dollars. all paper.
How eager the people are to put
this money in the banks is shown
by the fact that one savings bank in

HNDENBURG'S GAMBLE.

Germany has been winning battles
and accomplishing her own ruin-as
France did in 1918, and as the south
Gid in 1S62-3. Germany still has u
chance of remaining, the chance to
accomplish at a stroke the objects
which escaped her at the Marine in
1914 and before Ypres in 1915. Bet
ter greater Verdun, believes tho
German high command, than a SLOW
melting down into weariness and inn
potenCe.
Hindenburg criticised Falkenhayn
for undertaking the Verdun assault
He is reported as defining that at
tempt as amateur strategy" Yet
lust two years he is driven to dupli-
cate the enterprise. only he chose
Picardy as the battlefield instead OF
Flanders or Verdun. Events, political
ana economical, forced him to subor-
dinate purely military considerations
He had 10 take a military gamble.
In war there is always n large
factor in chance. The ablest com.
manders seek to cooperate with
that chance. So it is in business. The
man who takes no chances never
gets very far, though he may hold his
own. The ablest commander seeks
to coordinate with chance, often do
ing everything that with certainty
can be done and CHANGING it that he
may win,
Napoleon on his last field was driv.
en- to take a desperate chance. Ho
lost. Sam Houston took an equally
desperate chance at San Jacinto and
won. Napoleon staked his all on Ney's
charge, because he had to win then
or inevitablyalose all.
So the kaiser and the German staff
are gambling now. Germany needs
peace Immediately. She needs it this
spring or this summer, because
Americas strength is growing rapid
ly, Britain is holding her own, France
is formidable, Italy still has three
million men in the field, and the
Russian situation is again becoming
menacing. Japan has done nothine,
but may be called into action at any
moment that transportation can be
had for half a million of her thor.
oughly trained fighting men.
The feeling in Germany is that
there must be peace before the win
ter comes again, and she has put all
her resources into this mighty eff.
fort.
We do not mean to say that if she
tails it will mean an immediate Wa.
terloo, but it will be plain to her that
she cannot win, if the allies persist
They have no choice except to fight
it out and crush the menace of mill.
