It will not be difficult to fine q peaceful use for big guns after We have won the war. They will be scrap ped and the steel used for some useful purpose. The question of dispos!ng of the thousands of airplanes is not so easily settled. That they will be con- tinued In use in various capacities seems likely. That the knowledge of flying gained by the world because of the war will be used in commercc is certain.

 Every nation now in the war is finding time to give thought 10 the future of the flying machine. In Eur ope 1t is seen to be possible 10 es- tablish regular routes between London. Paris, Marscilles and points in Italy. The flights of bombing expeditions from the British front to German cities on tho Rhine, from the French front to the Italian armies on the Isonzo, and the long sustained flights over battle lines have proven that there is likely to be n revolution in transportation when peace comes.
 The big aeroplanes used by the Ital- ians already have shown that 1t is possible to carry dozen or more pass engerS with comparative ease.

LOANS AND SAVINGS.

When the history of the American
war loans is finally written, into it
will be written the account of peo-
pie converted from extravaganza to
frugality, from reckless spending to
prudent saving. II will contain the
account of nation that while giving
freely of its wealth, yet in the very
act OF giving received more than it
gave.
Yes, great as will be the money
outlay necessary for the successful
prosecution of this war, the solid, en-
during benefit to the people # this
country will be infinitely greater.
In the first place, it has caused us
to take stock of our resources. \
prodigious demand has caused us to
reach out for an equally huge sup
ply. But unlike the flush periods
OF former years, when the added re-
sources have been produced, they
have not been wasted in needless ex-
travagance.
All over this broad land, from
ocean TO ocean and from lakes to
gulf, thousands upon thousands OF
men. women and children have en-
tered upon life of frugaity that
has for its object the accumulation
of one or more Liberty bonds. Mil
lions of dollars of these bonds are
being paid for in monthly install
ments the terms of which will run
for many months to come.
It is all but impossible to estimate
what this self-enforced economy will
do for our people. Viewed merely
in the light of the financial benefit
20 the different individuals, the re-
suits must necessarily be stupendous
But going further and considering
the stabilizng effect upon the nation
as a whole, the result assumes the
proportions of an economical revolu-
ton
No nation of people ever yet sue
ceeded in building a stable national
edifice upon extravaganza. 1t mat
ters not how vast the resources, they
must in time succumb to the lavish
hand. Only prudence and frugality
can lay a substantial foundation for
the national life
We are aware that the life of oul
people has heretofore been TENDING
toward prodigality, and that theil
phenomenal success would tend tc
disprove the foregoing assertion
But there is a reason, and II is founC
in the comparative newness of the
country. Heretofore it has beer
easier to reach out after untouched
resources than to conserve those al
ready in hand But that day is past
We are face to face with a demand
for all and more than is available
and the smallest fraction of waste
will tell in the net result.
A knowledge of this fact is th'
great legacy that will be left to th'
American people when the war shal
have been fought to a successful end
And that knowledge. with the habit
OF thrift now being enforced, vii
have effectually changed the Ameri
can character from spending TO
saving people.

authorities say, of the existence OF

federal officers are investigating.
The investigation began following a
fire which destroyed grain elevator

found in another warehouse at that
place together with fuse and explo-
sives, pointed to the existence of an
organized plan of destruction.
