ELEVEN PER CENT OF
 OUR STEEL IN SHELLS
(Saturdav Evening Postl

NOdluIudy ENeUlllS fOSlJ
 Eleven per cent of our total steel production this year will go into shells alone, and this output would not be an excessive supply, even though all Of this ammunition could be given to our own army. Should we take over one hundred miles of battle front and use all the shells that will be produced un- der this years program, we could fire only 6,S50 shells a day, assuming all average weight of forty pounds for each projectile.
 Such artillery activity would land more than one shell on every foot of the enemy's front line facing us every twenty -four hours, and this would seem to be quite lively shooting; but it is now considered rather quiet on any sector when only five thousand to six thousand shells are sent across on each side of front in twenty four hours.
 Of course, it is not likely we shall take over one hundred miles, or one third of the western front this year on the other hand, we are not going to get all the shells we are making. Recently. in Picardy, the Huns fired seventeen thousand shells at the Amer jeans and killed one man. For this one life the Germans gave the total labor for one day of 440 coal miners and 136 iron miners.
 Let us hope the American artillery will collect a somewhat higher toll.

NAME THEIR GUNS

Following a gallant custom of the French artillery, the boys of Battery B in one of our own F. A. regiments, de- cided to name their guns after those whom they considered the outstanding figures among the patriotic women of American history.
 Many were named but two Were chosen. The first was Betsy Ross, who, in her little house in Philadelphia, made for General Washington the first American flag. The second was Elsie Janis, who, in the little huts of France, made the first hit of the A. E. F.
 These guns are of the railway ar tillery," the captain says, and among the most powerful in France, and the names selected are now painted on the carriages, where they will be constant 1 inspiration in the future and, we hope, credit to their nameSakes. l One of these two namesakes, who probably never thought of herself IS a | figure in American history at all, is 1 just back from a tour of the front where she had a good many thrills, in cluding the thrill of finding her name in divisional general orders.

YUMA IMP PER|AL UNREASONABLE
 ENDED FUR TIME

YUMA, Ariz., Nov. 2-The proposed agreement between the United States interior department the Yuma Valley Water Users association and the Im- perial irrigation district, involving the use by Imperial of the Laguna dam for the diversion of it's water. is be- lieved to have gone into the discard for the time being. The Imperial con- mittee signed the contract under pro- test. Secretary Franklin K Lane of the interior department therefore has returned the contract, refusing ap- proval of any document in which there is a charge of signature under duress
 The secretary in bis letter states that he is advised that an independ- ent connection with the river of simi- lar character and value to the La guna dam connection would probably cost you about three times as much as you agree to pay under this contract You have no rights which l can insist upon as against those of the Yuma project, but you have a claim upon my sense of duty to see that the largest and fullest use possible is made of these waters
 It is understood that Yuma project now will demand that a permanent in junction be given against and per petuation of the diversion weir of the Imperial system at Hanlon heading on the Colorado. below this city. at point where it endangers the levee lands of the Yuma project.

PATIENT PARISIANS
 WAIT AND SUFFER
(From the Century)

The real key to the French charac- ter is not merriment; it is patience This has probably always been so, and if the French have at times shown themselves rebellious, it is probably because they have been subjected to great wrongs from their rulers.
 During the war the Parisians have shown more than their customary will ingness to wait and suffer. Having always heard the French described as a restive people. l was much impressed by their patience during the mobiliZa- tion and by the calm of the Parisians when the first bombs were dropped. It was believed that the city would be shelled within a few days. I then saw literally tens of thousands of them stand in line morning, noon and night outside the railroad stations waiting to buy tickets. It was not the fact that some of them wanted to get away that surprised anybody. but the fact that such a mass of humanity could stand in line so long when there were thou sands ahead and when for hours there would be no sign of advance. It must be that the French have had a special training from their bureaucratic form of government, they seem to be willing to wait forever for a man in uniform. When I saw these interminable lines filling the whole of Quai d'Orsay out side the Orleans stations, I thought of the impatient crowds at Coney Island or at the Manhattan end of the Brooklyn bridge getting home from an ordinary days work or amusement.

SOLEMN GERMAN PROMISE
(The Outlook)


 Even at this late day the letters eX- changed by foreign secretaries and ambassadors, in July and early August
 1914, are worth rereading. Fresh events give a new emphasis to passages most of us had forgotten. Take for example No. 157 in the British diplomatic cor espondence-from Herr von JagoW. German foreign secretary to Prince Lichnowsky, still in London as German ambassador. The date is August 4; Please dispel any mistrust that may subsist on the part of the British gov ernment with regard to our intentions, by repeating most positively formal as surance that, even in case of armed conflict with Belgium, Germany will, under no pretense whatever, annex Belgian territory. Sincerity of this dec laration is borne out by the fact that we solemnly pledged our word to Hol- land strictly to respect her neutrality. It is obvious that we could not profit ably annex Belgian territory without making at the same time territorial ac- ouisitions at the expense of Holland
