BIG GUNS

We keep right on outdoing the
/ Germans in war matters on which
the have particularly prided them
selves. Our latest triumph is in the
realm OF heavy artillery. We have
in operation today a large number
of pieces more destructive and more
mobile than the big guns which Ger
many surprised the world and bat
tered down the French and Belgian
forts in the summer OF 1914. We
have outdone the famous l6-centi-
meter Krupps and the Austrian Sko-
daS.
These weapons are l6-inch naval
guns designed originally ior our new
dreadnoughtS and remodeled for
land use. They are described As 90
ieet long. weighing 100 tons with
ont their carriages and able to fire
shell weighing three-fourths OF a
ton distance OF p miles with an
accuracy never before attained by
gun anywhere near 50 big.
The range is not 50 great as that
OF the famous long-diStance "Ntrate
gun with which the Germans bonn
barded Paris, but the caliber is
much larger, and the shell fired IS
incomparably more heavy and de
,tructive. Each gun is mounted on
specially built railroad truck, and
has an entire train to itself, car
rying the crew. shells and all neces-
,arv supplies. This enables it to be
moved easily and quickly to any part
Of the front.
The weapons are now being used

FINAL PREPAREDNESS

The war may be nearly over, a,
millions OF people believe, but the
war machinery of the nation gives
little indication of it.
Troops are moving to France
practically the same as they have
been for many months. any slight
diminution in the numbers sent be-

not to deliberate curtailment Manu-
facture and transportation of war
material j. proceeding in greater
volume than ever. There is no
change in the military training pro-
gram.
1t has been announced that the
war department intends to call all
eligible seicctive service men as soon
as they can be classified, and that the
United States is making plans Tor
two wears more OF war.
This is aS it should be. Few Amer
leans whether in public or civil lie,
have any idea that the war will ac-
tually last two years more. Most OF
lis are convinced that it will not last
six month, more. But the only safe
way is to prepare for the longest,
hardest struggle conceivable. There

SHOULD PROTECT WHALE.
Modern Steam Whaling Is So Ami
hilating Mammoths of Sea That
They viii Soon Go AS
Buffalo.

Fishing Gazette: Unless whales
are protected by international laws
the time is not remote when these
magnificent mammals will soon be
as scarce in the sea as the buffalo
is on land.
No one knows this better than
the whaling companies. with mil
lions OF dollars invested in plants
which could probably be used as fish
reduction plants in case the exhaus-
ton OF the whaling grounds goes
below a paying yield.
1t is said BY some that when 4
ground is abandoned on account OF
exhaustion the whale will breed
back. But modern steam whaling
j, so annihilating that i, will not
leave whales 10 breed back
The determination OF the NAM
moth, OF the sea would be la
mentable loss 10 mankind.
Steam whaling and the business
OF converting every part OF the
whale into commercial products is
one OF the profitable industries OF
British Columbia. 1t would be
reasonable to suppose that the
whaling companies would be in ia
vor OF prolonging their profitable
business by the conservation of the
whales. This conservation would
have to be one OF the larger move
ments of the kind which have inter
national scope, like the sealing laws
and the proposed agreement be
tween the United States and Canada
10 conserve the halibut by a closed
season.
