Women's World Council Fights Against War

10 hesitation in expressing regret that we
could not JON with the Others in many dis
cusslons to details.
One resolution asked that the membership
OF the league should be extended as rapidly
as possible to all self-governing countries.
Another urged governments members of the
league to send a woman one of the three
delegates to the first Assembly of the league
in November.
Another decision was in regard to a special
woman's commission under the league, that
men and women should cooperate in the dis
cuss.on of all questions coming before the
league The one central thought was the
speedy evolution of a genuine and power
full league of nations throughout the coun-
Gil meetings ii became clear that this was
the burning question
The discussion turned on whether the
women OF the world could induce the league
to recognize the power of this International
Council in all matters pertaining to women
and children
The convention decided that an effort
ehould be made in the various countries to
enable women to retain their nationality, il
they wished, on marriage with an alien.
A cabegram was received from the De-
partment of Labor at washington, express
ing appreciation of the support which the
International Council had pledged al Rome
in 1914 TO the suggestion of the United
States Department of Labor, to arrange an
international conference OF immigration Off
Gals; that, since the war had prevented uc-
ton. It was hoped the pledge might now he
carried out and that the councils and Off
GERS newly appointed should cooperate. This

Secret Devices Perfected.

Other arms of the ordnance service have
been developed concerning which consider
able secrecy is being observed.
The Ordnance Department is now conduct
ing intensely interesting experiments in the
development OF hishcr grades Of powder than
were ever used. Sniokeless powder now
makes II impossible 10 observe the discharge
of artillery IN the daylight. Government
and private chemists now working in an
effort to develop a fashess powder which
will make the discharge of artillery non

The whole scheme and purpose of the
experiments that are being conducted is to
build up the highest possible form of
weapons of war. Back Of that Is the mobili-
zation of highly trained persons In the
technique of artillery practice and the plan

The mounting of heavy guns in this man
ner on their own self-propelied mounts is
of the highest military Importance. Military
science has so far developed that the loca-
ton of a gun can be determined by instru-
ments prepared to catch the sound waves.
The result was that during the war heavy
guns soon after taking up their positions
would be located by the enemy and destroyed
by counter artillery fire.
With the new movable carriages propelled
by gasolene power these guns can be moved
about after firing a few shots. The result is
that shells dropped on the position located
by sound waves will have nothing but empty
space to deal with.
The tanks equipped with a combined wheel
and caterpillar traction have solved the
question of mobility far as that weapon
is concerned and have increased the effecl
tiveness of the tank hundredfold.
The artillery periscopc is another war de-
vice whose high development was shown at
the Aberdeen experiments. This mechanism
makes 1t possible for the observer to remain
in his dugout underneath the ground and
inspect terrain with all the advantages of
high elevation.

programme Of preparedness, which is with
out parallel in the history of this country.
The interest and attention which is being
paid to the development of ordnance Is the
result Of knowledge gained from the world
war. All forms of artillery from the Big
Bertha to the seventy-five nm gun prove
the effectiveness of this arm of the service.
AS an example of the extent to which the
use of artillery developed during the Euro
pean war it is recalled that at the battle
or Gettysburg the Union army expended only
80, 781 rounds of artillery ammunition. At
the battle of the Somme the British fired
100000 rounds of artillery ammunition
The Union army In the civil war during the
year 1864 expended 1850 600 rounds Of artil-
lery ammunition, while in the year 1918 of
the world war the French fired s1,O70,0OO
rounds.
In the experiments at the Aberdeen prov
ing ground the object of increased mobility
of heavy ordnance was highly exemplfied
In one case the Ordnance Department has
developed a sixteen inch gun mounted on
railway carria &c in such a manner that the
gun can be elevated almost perpendicularly.
This gives the weapon the advantage of the
howitzer During the war 1t was possible
to direct these guns only in one direction.
The American gun is mounted on two cars
with a bridge between A circular turntable
track is built beneath the bridge so that the
gun carriage can be turned and the gun
pointed in every possible direction.
The Ordnance Department has also devel-
oped combined wheel and caterpillar mount
for heavy and light artillery. Tanks are
equipped in the same manner. This inven-
ton makes it possible when running
smooth roads to fold back the caterpillar
traction that the tank can run on wheels
giving it the speed of an ordinary automo-
bile When approaching rough ground the
caterpillar traction is quickly readjusted so
the machine can negotiate any kind of rough
going.

u. The excise boards of the scv-
eral counties will meet and pass
upon the estimates made by Coun-
tN and city supcrintcndenls of
schools and County Commissioners.
1t has been the rule in many places
heretofore for these excise boards
to cut the estimates for Negro
schools to a minimum. thereby de
StroNing the efficiency of these

called zone mill law" as iuslil-
cation for their conduct.
The zone mill law" is dead and
buricd-thc action of the Attorney
Generals ofliCe-and it is the duty
OF the Negro citizens and the friends
OF Negro education in this state to
see to it that it is not rcsurreclcd.
There are tow legal provisions ar-
fecting Negro schools upon the en-
forcemcnt of which all friends of
Negro education in this stale should
insist. First, the constitutional pro-
vision which says: Separate schools
for white and Colorcd children
WITH LIKE ACCOMMODATIONS
shall be provided by the legislature
and IMPARTIALLY MAINTAINED.
Second, the legislature in performing
its constitutional function provided
that "the County Commissioners
SHALL annually levy a tax on all
The taxable property in their res
pective counties SUFFICIENT TO
maintain said Separate schools
said taxes SHALL be estimated.
LEVIED and COLLECTED in the
same manner as other taxes for
county purposes"
While the excise boards were
later given the right to review all
estimates of the board of county
commissioners, they have no au-
thority in law to cut down such
estimates SO long as they are nee
cSSary and do not infringe upon the
provision prohibiting a levy in eX-
cess of ten mills for all county
purposes.
The points which we wish to EN-
phasize in the constitutional pro
visions are, first, that which says
with like accommodations" Il
this means anything at all, it means
like school buildings. like facili.
ties, including school libraries, ap,
