eERMANrs BIG GUN.

As difficult as It was to believe that It was possible to produce a gun that would shoot T6 miles, the admission that Paris Is being bombartled by such a weapon and at such a distance estab. lishes the fact. One Of the strongest Bits of evidence that such a gun had been produced was the fact that the reports aiinouncing it's aecompiish- ments came from Paris where the ef- feets of 1t were being felt. That was one of the things which discounted the disbelief.
 But now that 1t has been shown that such a gun is not impossible 1t is be- ing found out that it has been known all the time and by the entente ria- tions that it was possible to bring out such mechanical marvel, and even though the French claim to have known 1t it is impossible to take away from Germany the credit which it is entitled to for actually producing fl and putting it into use.
 That such a gun throwing proiec- files into Paris at intervals of 15 tc % minutes at cost of $4,0e0 or ffaort ApA C0Nu chOl hetS CduSeQ 4UOuE Hf much attention as has the Uesaaan of. fensive itself is by no means str prising, but the manner ir which such an attack is be. ing received in Paris makes it eviden that it can be of little or no milifary advantage. It is in keeping with tn, air raids which have been persistent, made upon London without gainin, any advantage. Germany is from al indications endeavoring to terroria the French capital but such is far freq being a fact and it is quite eviden that the big and mysterious gun vii not win the war or contribute an material assistance in the presen drive. It makes 1t evident. however that the day of the impossible is far ther of than generally believed.

IS tas ease 1t is impossible to over- look the fact that careiessness from one feason or another has contributed m large measure to the large losses which have been suffered here.
 Such a course may not be sur prising for it is to be Temembefed that this is not the only country which has suffered large industrial losses during ths war from explosions and fire. Each and every one of the larger befligefent nations has had this ex- Iperience. There is hazard in con- nection with the making of explosives and the speeding up of efforts which has got to be taken into considera- ton. There is need of developi1lg proper care and increased cautions rfl- der such conditions. Vigilance con tributes greatly to safety iii every di- rection and 1t must Be realized that it plays a most important part in the prevention of fire and the protection of property from its favages.

THE EMBARGO ON IMPORTS.

What was threatened has taken place in the placing of an embargo ofi certain of the goods imported into this country The lines of goods selected in making up this list are those which this country can either get along without or which it is able to produce if the proper attention is given to such production. But while the stimulation of our own resources is a matter which calls for increased attention, the need of utilizing our transportation facilities in the best possible manner is of the utmost importance.
 It is the shipping problem which has brought about the imports embar- go and by it it is figured that it viii be possible to divert ships with a. ton
 mage of third of a million from the importing trade to overseas service
 and that at this time is certainly 3
 matter of deepest concern.
 There are goods which are of course not affected by the order and where shipping space is available il is to be realized that it is advisable to bring return loads provided there is not an unwarranted delay occasfon- ed by the loading of such. All this is taken care of in the embargo. Wal
 conditions will of course reduce sucf return loads to the minimum as might be expected but such as can be n1ovet should be transported instead of send. | ing ships in ballast.
 It is quite evident, however, that
 all sides of the question were looked at before the step was decided iipor
 and such being the fact good results although some inconvenience, can b.
 anticipated with the former overbal ancing the latter.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Great is narty-desirable, com mendable, even necessary. But he isn't very useful partisan who can't droP on occasion, the weapons of civil war to take up arms against the common enemy. MT. Taft is the sort of partisan who can do that. He's foing to devote as much as is ieedful of the coming two years and more than the two years if that be neeessary-to the job of whipping to a standstill the worlds great enemy. If that job laps over inti the time supposedly allowed for electing the next president-well, the people might briefly vote that the secretary cast the ballot of the meeting for somebody or other; we have a swift way of disposing of such things when we are interested in something else-Hartford Times.

CANNOT OVERLOOK CARE,

Ever since the great war in Eu- rope opened large losses which have occurred in this country through ex- plosions and fires have been immedi-
 ately attributed to the agents of Ger many. This inclination has increased since this country was forced to de- clare itself at war but if the Ma tional Beard of Fire Underwriters is Is right in its Investigations and statement there have been only six of the 75 large fires which have been actually traced to such cause. Ii is of course entirely possible that there are instances where the opera tions of the enemy have been so care fully covered up in this respect that it has been impossible to grasp the hand of the torch bearer. but even if suct

SHOULD SPUR up coNeRHss.

There are certain measures before congress which have been held up through failure of those in Washing ton to push them forward. They are being held in committee or tied up in one way or another by what seems to be a disposition to obstruct and not permit them to come up for action one way or the other regardless of the importance which they are to the ila- ton at this particular time. This is particularly true of matters which deal with the war where new work Is necsssitated in providing the sup plies in the various lines for the sei- diers abroad.
 Tine and again have appeals come to the effect that every energy should ba bent to meet the situation. Re- peatedly has it been shown that the programmes mapped out are not being maintained, fnisfnanagemefit, labor troubles and unforeseen difficulties having been experienced and ali ei these things make it apparent that while this is a big country with great resources we are not keeping up with expectations.
 But If other things have not brought congress to the realization of speeding up it's work and getting the proper machinery into operation. 1t certainly ought to be brought about by the con ditions which are prevailing in Eu- rope at the present time. They are only what have been pointed out as likely to take place but the part whicf this country has got to play is giver new emphasis. The call to speed LII ! was never more urgent and congress {, should take the lead in responding tt it. Such 1t Is believed would have tn, . best possible effect upon the entir, country.
