industrial condition, rather than to a reduction
Of the standards Of living.
Public work has always been governmental
expedient in time of stress and municipal, county,
state and federal aid should. it would seem, be
thrown into the balance at this time.
In an endeavor to reduce heavy taxation incl
dent to the war, the federal government, besides
curtailipg wartime expenditures, has apparently
viewed with an eye to economy its peace con-
structioa expenditures.
The railways, which have been absorbing about
35 per cent of the product Of the steel industry,
are in period of uncertainty.
War regulations Of minor character are still
in effect.
The shipping program is being curtailed. The
postmaster general has restricted telephone con-
struction while congress has restricted the ap-
preparations necessary for federal buildings, hos
pitfalls, etc.
This places a greater need upon the construc-
ton industry for the absorption of materials and
labor into useful construction.
The revival of the construction industry should
not leave behind it as monuments of indiscretion
in-advised constructions of any sort. It would
seem at least that work which has already been
carefully planned coul dbe proceeded with, and
at any rate nothing can be lost to either public
or private work if both governmental authori-
ties and private individuals who contem-
plating building Of any sort set about to draw
their plans.

WONDER WHY?


We know a man who says it's unnatural to
sit down.
1t secms-he says-weve passed through sew
eral forms of life, stages of existence. For ar
gument's sake he started with the crustacean
period. So our mind might grasp better, he de-
clared we were once fishes.
Then he shot over the whoever
heard of q fish sitting down.?
Next, we were reptiles.
Again the knockout-"can you imagine snake
seated?"
Then he commenced to pitch wild. He said we
were at one time trees. We held that it was
doubtless because we'd stood all the way down
the eras that the relaxation of sitting was dis
covered to US in this life.
He still stood stoutly by this theory-the past
proved it unnatural that we sit down.

Thirty-sixth Instanment

Lord Kitchener addressed a memoran-
dunn 20 me in January. 1915, from which
I quote in extenso:
THE Questions raised In your recent
memorandum OF January 3. 1915. he
wrote, land IN your appreciation Of the
situation in tho various theatres OF war,
were considered by q war council prcsid-
ed over by the prime minister on Thurs
day. January I. and Friday. January 6.
The principal questions discussed
were:
~. The proposed advance to Zeebrugge.
80. The Organization OF the new ar
mica.
=. Tho possibility Of employing Brit
ish forces In q different theatre 10 that
In which they arc now used.

the war council realized that one Of your
principal motives in suggesting an or
fensiye to effect the capture Of OStcnd
and Zeeorugge was TO ease the naval
position.
~On . general review. however. CT tho
whole situation. naval and military. the
council came TO the conclusion that the
advantages to be obtained from such an
advance at the present moment would
not be commensurate with the heavy
losses involved, as wen as the extension
that would be thus caused to the lines
of the allies IN northern Flanders
The council was also Influenced IN
this conclusion BY the following consid-
erations The first of these was that the
reinforcements Of fifty battalions OF
territorial troops, which you considered
Indispensable. could only be supplied at
q considerable dislocation OF the organi-
ration Of tho future endorsements 10
be sent to you. 1t must be borne in
mind that the original organization or
the territorial force included 10 proTi-
sion for drafts. Great difficulties have
already been encountered in providing
drafts for your command. and although
arrangements for the necessary machin-
cry to create special reserve for the
territorials are in hand, il would not at

battalions with drafts without an cntir"
reorganization uf the forces allotted |"
home defence, and th;s would modify IN"
program for reinfOrCCmcnts TO JOIN our
army in the future.
The second consideration was that II
is impossible at the present time TO
maintain a sufficient supply OF gun ann
munition on the scale which you consid-
cred necessary for offensive operations.
Every effort is being made in all parts
of tho world to obtain an unlimited sup
ply of ammunition, but. as you arc well
aware. the result is Still far from being
sufficient tom maintain tho large num-
bcr Of guns which you now hav" under
YOUR command adequately supplied with
ammunition for offensive purposes.
You have pointed cut that oGcnsiH"
'opcratlons under the new conditions ere
atcd by this war require q vast cNpcho'-
ture Of artillery ammunition when may

tate the supply Of nifty or one hundrc"

General Joffrc. and your previous in

Mule Objected to Burden.

An observer attached to the First
army had been up for several hours
making notes on enemy infantry op-
erations when he was suddenly at
tackled by a single-seat combat plane,
says the Popular Mechanics Magazine.
The balloon crew on the ground imme-
diately began to haul the big gas bag
down, but the observer was running no
chances and took to his parachute.
This drifted well back of the lines and
deposited him In the midst of a num-
ber of grazing army mules, and right
astride one mule. The mule, not TAX
Ing kindly to the sudden load forced
on him, began to rear and plunge,
starting quite commotion among the
herd, and the observer was rescued

american chemical Products.

The interest in chemistry and chem
ical products has greatly increased in
the United States owing to the fact
that this country has been forced by
the war to depend upon its own re-
sources in this direction. The follow
ing uses are ascribed to these chemical
products: In making soap and paper
pulp, mercerizing cotton and purifying
mineral oils, caustic soda is used; soda
ash is necessary in the manufacture of
soap and glass; silicate of soda bet-
ter known as water glass) Is utilized

proceas peveIoped by War.

Making parabolic mirrors by chemi-
cal deposition on glass mold is de-
scribed as one of the war-quickened
processes. A layer of silver was de-
posted chemically on highly polished
glass mirror, and was thickened cleo
trolytically. after which 1t was given
a sixteenth inch plating of copper and
suitable backing Of strengthening
material. Difference in expansion on
heating gave ready means Of loosen
ing the metal from the glass. The
silver surface was given waterproof
and heatproof coating of lacquer, and
was ready for use in much less time
than would have been required for
grinding and polishing a glass mirror.

over half of his subjects in European
Turkey. Turkey declared war on Oc'
tober 5, 1853. The Russian army was
already on the Danube and fighting
began. France and England formed
an alliance with Turkey; Austria as
sumed a position of watchful waiting.
The allied fleets entered the Black
sea while the Turks drove back the
Russians until they had them north
of the Pru1h, and Austria, under an
arrangement with Turkey, temporar-
lily occupied the principalitles.
The western nations now formulat-
ed their -four points; as much dis
cussed then as the fourteen points
more recently. They were: The
czar's protectorate over Serbia and
the principalities to be abolished; the
navigation of the Danube to be free !;
the treaties regarding the Black sea
and the Dardanelles to be revised I'm
the interests Of the balance OF pow
err; the czar to Withdraw his pre-
tensions to a protectorate over the
Turkish subjects of the Greek faith.
The custody of the holy places had
already been settled.
Cars Acceptance Too Late.
The czar informed Austria late In
1854 that he accepted the -four
points" But 1t was too late. France
and England determined that the war
should go on until Russia was. so
crushed as to be no longer menace
I'm the East. An army of French and
English had landed in the Crimea in
September. The Russians were de-
feated at the battles of Alma, Sep
tember 20; Balaclava, October 20, and
Inkerman, November 8. The siege of
Sebastopol began in October and last
ed nearly a year. The allied troops
suffered horribly in the trenches ana
the cZar boasted that his two pest
generals, General January and Cen
eral February would retrieve for MIN
the fortunes of the war. While Things
were Mt their worst for the allies the
fresh troops of the Sandman army
arrived. On the Sth of the next Sep
tember the Malakoff was taken oy
storm and Sebastopol surrendered
three days later. Gar Nicholas died
of a broken heart and his successor
accepted an invitation to treat for
peace. Delegates met at Paris on
February 25, 1856, the -four points
were made the basis for negotiations
and a treaty was signed on March ~.
Russia gave up her claims to a pro
tectorate over the principalities and
over the Christians Of Greek faith ID
Turkey; ceded the mouths or the
Danube and declared that river free
TO navigation under an European COM
mission. Merchant ships were grant
ed free entrance into the Black sea
but men-of-war were barred. Russia
was prohibited from maintaining q
war fleet on that sea and agreed TO
dismantle her naval stations on It's
shores. Russia waited a favorable
opportunity and when the Franco
Prussian war broke out Informed the
powers that she abrogated that part
of the treaty regarding the Black sea
and there was none to say her nay
