WHEN NOBEL CUT HIS FINGER
How the First OF High Explosives In

The great war might be traced
back to Nobers cut finger. Alfred
Nobel was a Swedish chemist-and
a pacifst. One day while working
in the laboratory he cut his finger.
az chemists are apt to do. and,
again as chemists are apt to do, he
dissolved some guncotton in ether
alcohol and swabbed il on the wound.
At this point, however, his conduct
DIVORCES from the ordinary, for in
stead Of standing idle, impatiently
waving his hand in the air to dry
the film, as most people, including
chemists. are apt to do, he put his
mind on il and il occurred 10 him
that this sticky stuff, slowly harden
ing to an elastic mass, might be Just
the thing he was hunting as an alb
sorbent and solidifer Of nitreglyc-
erin. So instead Of throwing away
the extra collodion that he had made
he mixed it with nitroglycerin and
found that it set 10 a jelly.
The blasting gelatin" thus dis
covered proved to be so insensiti,e
to shock that it could be safely

OF course the war must 60 on. but
traffic policemen on Fifth avenue

Element Of IT of that thoroughfare.
The reason lies in the fact that with
in the last few months they have been
forced to warn hundreds Of automo-
bile drivers against what threatens
to become a bad case Of habitual
reckless gesticulation. A typical e1-
ample occurred recently in Fifth ave-
nue., when the traffic officer held up
his hand at an approaching fiivver.
When the car stopped the three oc-
cupants were holding out their hands
IN three diverse ways, indicating the
intention to take three widely vary
ing directions. One man was point
ing north, one east and one west. |
The policeman scratched his head. |
Just for my curiosity, you know.
he said, ''where in the world do You
want TO go?' "Why, straight ahead. |
OF course, officer" was the response. |

The battle in France, which began
a month ago to-day, has settled into
a calm on both salients, where the
Hun, have vainly tried 10 break
through. In the I.Anders field the
opposing armies have been fighting
in a Eat marshy country since April
Q, and this ground. dinieult enough
under normal conditions, has been
made more impossible by rains and
the tempest Of high explosive shells
that have blasted roads and fields.
Il appears, however. that the Ger
mans have not repeated their thrust
along the line running north Of Be
thune. where they met with a san
culinary repulse wednesday ana
Thursday. They employed about
$4,000 men along a line variously
reported TO be from six TO eleven
miles in length, but gained little or
no ground. The la Bassee canal
front is still in British hands and
bridges built across II by the Teutons
have been swept away by the allied
artillery fire. The blow aimed by
the French at the very apex Of the
German lines in Pieardy, in front
OF Amiens, apparently has not beer
followed up.

RAILROAD TAXATION.

4. ECRETARY McADOO'S letter to the Governors Of all
y The States protesting against unnecessary State and
local taxes upon railroad property naturally gives rise
20 several very pointed observations Mr. McAdoo bases
his protest upon the assertion that in the past railroad
taxes have been paid entirely by the private Of
the railroads while in the future they viii be paid by
the Government
Most persons will question the accuracy OF that state
ment In fixing freight and passenger rates. the Inter
state Commerce Commission has always taken into CON
sderation the cost Of operation and taxes have been
figured as one Of the COSTS Taxes were covered In the
rates the shippers and travellers paid them Unless
Mr.. McAdoo expects the roads to be operated by the
Government at loss the taxes win stili be paid by the
shippers and travellers.
The headlines over the McAdoo protest inform the
reader that the Secretary Of the Treasury asks the gov
ernors to obtain "far" taxes for the railroads It win
Immediately occur TO everyone strange that plea
should be made for flair" taxes at time any
than at another There is particular time nor place
for justice is true justice respecor OF persons
No State or community is proposing to impose un
usual upon the railroads the logical Inference
from the McAdoo protest Is that the taxes have been
unfair in the past Mr.. McAdoo has suddenly become
an advocate for the rights Of Of those horrid
poratons against which his party shouted effectively
IN the vote getting contest Of 1912.
Another observation in connection with the McAdoo
protest is that the Secretary the State and local
authorities to avoid all public expenditures which
not absolutely necessary thus making the tax burden
lighter. and money for purposes. AS to the
reasonableness OF this proposition there be con-
troversy but one who has visited the National
Capital who is familiar with government methods Of
doing business Will fail to wonder why he should make
the economy request OF the States rather than the States
make the economy request Of the general Government
It quite certain that in great majority Of the States,
money is economically expended it is in the
business Of the Government cenJered at Washington.
The railroads only temporarily under operation Of
the Government. Their business affairs and accounts
viii be conducted very much in the past. There is
absolutely reason why any State community should
change its policy Of railroad taxation assuming that
that policy has been fair II it has been fair should
have been changed regardless Of the question OF Gov
ernment possession and operation.

Lusitanla "The World" quotes Senator
Hitchcock as saying: The loss or
American lives was only incidental or
accidental"
In the same year a German agent
wrote TO Heinrich +. Albert Germany's
chief propagandist in this country, link
ing the name Of Senator Hitchcock with
the notorious William Bayard Hale and
others in support Of the Embargo Con-
ference and said that Senator Hitch
cock told "our representative" at con-
ference In Omaha that II this matter
is organized IN the right way you will
sweep the United states"
We agree with THE World" that II is
evident that by reason Of his record
and because OF his temperament Sena-
tor Htchcock is not a proper person to
be the chairman Of the Foreign Rela-

Rarely has a bill presented in a Della

result was an amended bill, which viii

In the opinion Of some well Informed
persons the bin as originally presented
was entirely too drastic, even though
the Council OF Defence which it created
might never have been chosen to en-
force It. The first mistake made by
those back of the measure was made
here. They should have sounded pub
lie opinion on the bin instead Of spend
ing their time getting the ducks in a
row. They would have very soon
learned mat public opinion would mol
support a bill as this one was originally
