almost no other costs attached to the operation of the republic. Each of the six cantons in which the little State is divided elects annually four coun- cilors, and the 24 select one of their number for president. They are paid a few sous each when they attend 9 meeting of the council Their horses are fed by the State and they have their meals. Now and then the hall of the council needs a new slate on the roof. The annual budget stops there.
 Spain has been fairly robbed of her mules by the needs of the Allied armies, and so the further eXporta- ton is frowned upon by the govern ment. Likewise, although these mules are bought for the French army, France still maintains an import duty upon live stock. The Andorrans pro- cure mules by hook and crook from Spain, and lead them over the hills at night by unfrequented paths into France. The share of the gendarmes in this traffic, as previously stated, is ten dollars a mule. There is no record that an Andorran smuggler has been recently injured in the practice of his vocation"

FOR PROTECTION AT HOME.

That we have got to be always on the alert regarding the schemes and practices of the enemy at home as well as on the battlefield has been repeatedly demonstrated. The agents, representative or subjects of Ger many are doing their utmost to hood wink this government, to strike at its industrial activities and to preserve for the future the investments which have been made in the United States.
 This is we'll disclosed by the seiz- ure of the million and half dollar corporation at Bridgeport, which though this country has been engaged in the war for over a year had been so carefully concealed as to defy de- tection until this time. Last year this concern did business of about a million dollars at it's factories in this state and Pennsylvania, and every ef- fort had been made to cover up it's identity by changing the name, and by destroying books and papers which would show who the real owners are This property will henceforth come under the control of this government
 But not only in connection with such industries but in connection with the freedom which is allowed enemy aliens is it necessary to exert all pos sible vigilance Discoveries are all too frequent of German reserve off, cers and people who are doing their utmost in this country to bring about a successful conclusion of the war for Germany. They represent a danger quietly at work for the breaking down of our war machinery and it is time that they were placed where their ac- tivities will be brought to an end.

PROTECT HOSPITAL SHIPS.

If this government has not already changed it's mind in regard to the manner in which the hospital ship Comfort is to be sent across the At lantic it cannot do so any too quick. There can be no thought of sending any vessels of that character to Eu- rope without proper protection. It was most unwise to even consider such a thing. There is no good req son for increasing the temptation of the German submarines to destroy everything in sight. They have shown conclusively that they do not intend to respect any agreement, that hos pital ship means no more to them than a vessel carrying cattle. and 1t is the height of folly to imagine that by telling the imperial German gov ernment that ship of mercy is to rross the barred zones at a particular time. fully lighted and unprotected it will be respected and spared.
 Germany may not have been in- formed by the Canadian government that it was going to despatch its hos pital ship under those conditions but # was plainly designated, it carried au navigating lights and many more n order to permit of no excuse that it's character could not be distin- auished. It simply made the work ot
 the submarines the easier. There was no hesitancy about sinking it. IT fact the underwater boat could not be gotten into position to strike the fata. blow too quickly after it was discov, cred. Germany is determined to re. spect nothing which isn't for the vel. fare of Germany and the only thins to do is to treat it accordingly.

Huge Buying of Shell Steel.

Nothing so completely illustrates the superlative scale to which the steel industry is being committed to war as the tremendous purchases of shell steel now being used by the Govern ment, says the Iron Trade Review
 The total requirements which the United States and its Allies are call ing upon the producers to supply in the current year are in excess of A. 000,000 tons of AZ to 915 inch rounds. Of th.s amount about 100000 tons for this. Government is undergoing al location. The total of 100000 tons represents probably one-sixth of the entire expected rolled output of the country from this date to Jan. 1, 1919. There is some question whether billet and bar mill capacity as at present operated will be sufficient to meet this demand. Another point of interest is whether present shell forging capacity is adequate to all needs. That ad- vantage is to be taken Of Canada s facilities in this regard is indicated by the award if 115,00O tons for that

THE WAR PRIMER
SMUGGLING MULES IN ANDoRRA
A Great War Industry In The Little
 Republic in The Pyreneee.
Especial to The Bulletin. )


 Washington, D. C., July 5.-How the Andorran citizens of the little re- public which has preserved it's inde- pendence among the crags of the Pyr- enees since mediaeval times, nave developed smuggling until it has be- comN their great war industry, is told in a communication to the National Geographic Society from Herbert Corey, war correspondent A part of MT. Coreys communication is issued by the Society as a war geography bulletin, as follows:
 Doubtless Andorra smuggles' at the best of times. That is the conclusion reached, at least. from the perfect openness with which every one dis cussed the free trade proclivities of the Andorrans. One might have thought they were talking of the spring blowing or the price of lambs. And yet Andorran secretivenesss has become a proverb in the hills. Tell thing to an AndorTan and it is lost is one form of this saying. Now adays, with the neighbor France in the market for everything that Andorra can furnish, and too busy fighting to watch her douanes very carefully, the
  harvest. Scandalous rumor has it that the Spanish frontier guards look with a certain complacency on the l illegal traffic
 "T have cousin who is a, frontier | guard a man in Barcelona told me. 1 He says that if the war lasts another year he will retire. At ten dollars a mule, he is already rich
 | The situation of this quaint little survival of lost ages faVors this form of activity The Republic of Andorra measures about 25 miles in one di- rection by 20 miles in the other, and is located right on the crest of the l Pyrennes. It is as though the little State were a wedge driven in and di- viding France and Spain at this point Charlemagne gave the Andorrans 8 certain measure of freedom because o1 | their services in 'the field.

 It must be preserved
 "Andorra has maintained itself al political entity for more years thar has any other republic in the world The tiny State of San Marine, il Italy, vies with it in point of diminu tiveness, but Andorra was hoary witt age when San Marine was born. Tt is not worth fighting for, and makes no trouble that few policemen would not quell. Nevertheless it is real State.
