WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
May 2O.-The American
navy is increasing its patrol
force in European waters,
the navy department official
~ stated today.
This increased patrol is one OF
the factors in the decrease In

Acting Secretary of the Navy
Benson declared the department
felt the submarine situation has
improved, but the department
would be loath to make optimis-

lax and the submarine campaign
burst out with renewed vigor.
Benson declared there was

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 20.
Maj. Gen. J. Franklin Bell, it is
rumored about the war depart

Camp Lewis, Wash, when the
91st division goes abroad.
Gen. Bell recently was relieved
of command Of the national army

sent to France.
AS he is known as one of the

WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
May 2O.-America's big guns
are now i'm actiOn-THE BIG
GEST GUNS ON THE WEST
ERN FRONT!
They were built by the
navy, are mounted on rail-
way cars, and are operated
by marines i'm khaki.
They are the 16-inch guns
Of Uncle Sans biggest bat
tleships, adapted to land OPP
erations.
Each gun throws a shell
weighing 1900 pounds, and throws
Is farther than will any gun the
Germans possess, except the
. siege-gun that is bombarding
Paris.
That gun, big Emma" as the
French call il, is built on fixed
emplocement and is practically
lmmovable.
Our big guns fly hitler
and thither.
They go wherever tracks
another as the demand calls
for them.
The Germans may spot
them where they were yes
terday; they are somewhere
else today. They'll be yet
elsewhere tomorrow.
Presence of these great Ameri-
can guns in France accounts for
the recently cabled accounts of
great ghostlike disappearing and
fitting guns" behind the Ameri-
can lines.
Each Unit Complete.
inst how many. of these guns
there are is military secret.
=, Each gun is complete unit,
having, in addition to the car on
which it is mounted, an ammuni-
tion car, a shop and repair car. a
provision and kitchen car, with d
couple of cars for quarters for Of
ficers and men.
And of course there Is a loco
motive. With this equipment the
gun unit is independent of any
other branch of the service for
support in the way of ammuni-
tion or provisions.
The value of the big gun is
two-fold. The long range makes
it possible to reach vital points be-
hind the German line where am
munition is stored or concentra-
tion is going on.
Vauclain's Idea.
II also makes possible boring
into trench projections which
would be impervious to small
shells, but which the huge 1900
pound shell reaches and destroys.
When the war broke out Gen.
Crozier of the army ordnance de-
partment threw up his hands and
admitted his inability to deliver
big guns by this summer.
One of the men on the naval
advisory board was s. M. Vau-
CLAIM of the Baldwin Locomotive
works. Vauclain did not throw
up his hands, but undertook to
build large calibered guns for use
on land, to mount them on cars
for quick movement by rail, and
to do it within IL months.
He was toH by Secretary Dan
iels to go ahead. And he has
made good.

New Orleans.-"If capitalists had
considered the interests of working
men in times of peace and had fairly
met their demands, this factor in our
ship building program would not be
problem" said Mrs. 7. Marshall
Miller, in a talk before the Southern
Woman's Economic and Political
Science association.
In charging that some of America S
captains of industry have failed to
retain the morale of their men, the
speaker said:
"Labor's right to combine, nomin-
ally conceded by capitalists after GEN.
turies of bitter opposition, is even now
nullified with one hand, where grant

is found loyal and obedient, not to
his employer, but to his union
which has won for him better wages,
shorter hours, safer working condi-
tions, and protection from oppression,
mo more heroic form of altruism
than the sympathetic strike can be
found" Mrs. Miller declared. "Cap-
italists can afford to wait adjustment
of disputes. But labor is the most
perishable of all products-a day lost
is lost forever, and it is all the work
ing man has to sell-his days work

by walking delegates" she continued
"but nothing of the hundreds of
strikes prevented by these same off
cials when investigation by the elab-
crate machinery of the various local
and general unions shows that they
are not justified.
Collective bargaining Mrs. Miller
described as "a device to prevent hard
bargains between the hungry and the
well-fed." She showed by statistics
on infant mortality that life depends
upon wages.
