Still Thinking of Big Berthas


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In view of the efforts at Wash
ington to bring about disarmament and
the effect of the successful delibera-
tions of the conference upon the future
of the world, there is a Whit of poison
gas in the following extract from an
article in the current number of mag
azine by the officer OF the German
General Staff who was called the
father" of the Big Berthas:
"1n addition to the scientific con-
struction of the gun (Which pumped
shells into Paris, seventy miles away)
and projectile and the quality of the
powder, main requisite is an ex-
traordinarily highly developed steel in
dustry. England and France have not
such an industry, and their fear OF the
Germans efficiency led them to provide
in the peace treaty that nothing larger
than short-barrelcd 28-centimeter can
non may be manufactured in Germany
And so we cannot carry on our expert
ments.
"But it would be interesting to in
vestigate further the question whether
large caliber guns of extreme ranre
really have military value. A condition
precedent is that all the weaknesses of
the long guns which we used against
Paris shall be overcome. If this can
be done such guns will he of extraordi,
nary value, especially for battles on the
high seas, for coast defense and the
attack and defense of fortrcsses."

The Works Bigness

The signing of the naval limita-
ton agreement marks something
new in human history. 1t con-
cretely introduces into international
relations principles that three years
ago or even three months ago were
deemed impossible of realization.
Of secondary consequence is the
particular ratio of strength ap-
proved. What is Of the greatest
significance is the fact that there is
any ratio. Fix your mind on this.
Consider some Of the implications.
1t is recognized that one nation may
legitimately take notice Of what an
other is doing. The domain of the
common concern is thus immensely
enlarged. Heretofore each nation
has assumed that what it did in the
way of arming itself was exclusively
its own affair; that no questions
could be asked; that it was justified
in resenting anything that even
limited at restraint of its liberty Of
action.
This doctrine is scrapped. In its
place is established the one that the
naval program Of one country is the
proper business Of all. Cast down
is the artificial logical barrier which
separated nations one from another
and inevitably led to competition in
armaments. Henceforward, in re-
gard to armies as we'll as navies, it
will be possible for one country to ask
another, "Why your zeal in weapon
making?" 1t is our right to take
note Of the fact. Here is whole
some novelty in international law,
and the seed planted at Washington
will multiply. National independ-
ence remains unimpaired, but it
must face it's possibilities with
more regard for realities.
Another innovation is of almost
equal portance-namely, that one
nation can trust the word of another
with respect to matters OF the most
delicate nature. The Hughes agree
ment takes for granted that Great
Britain and Japan will in good faith
be true to the bargain they have
signed. No machinery of mutual
espionage is provided for. None is
deemed necessary. 1t is believed,
and rightfully so, that no one of the
signers will depart from the agree
ment.
Such confluence, confidence that
asks for no hostages, is something
new in human annals, and now, as
always, trust begets trust. The food
of confidence is confidence. We have
right to think that the habit of ma
tions of watching one another out of
suspicious eyes will weaken. When
suspicion is dead there will be foun-
dations for enduring peace.
The bigness of the work done al
Washington is not yet adequately
appreciated. Time is needed t(
show it in true perspective. If there
ever is Il universal annual holida,
December IA will have high claims tt
worldwide recognition. Yet som,
= restricted souls study the terms O.
the compact to see whether or no
they can torture from it an inter
pretation that there is not perfec
equivalency of self-denial.

Still Uncorrected

In book form Mr.. Tumulty's
Woodrow Wilson as l Know Him"
repeats the error of misdating ex-
President Roosevelt's "Outlook"
article on Belgium's appeal to us in
1914 to alter our attitude Of neu-
trality.
This inaccuracy, made to serve as
the basis for a charge Of incon-
sistency brought against Colonel
Roosevelt, originated with Mr..
George Creel. Mr.. Tumulty evi-
IDENTIFY copied it without question
from Mr.. Creels book, "The War,
the World and Wilson" Mr.. Creel
wrote:
"As for Mr.. Roosevelt, who devoted
the latter part OF 1915 and the first
six months of 1916 to attacking
President Wilson for his failure to
protest in the matter of Belgium, the
following article from his pen ap-
peared in The Outlook under date Of
September 23, 1916"
The article in question appeared
on September %, 1914. Mr.. Creers
slip didn't escape notice. But that
fact didn't deter Mr.. Tumulty from
duplicating it in the recent serial-
zation of his book in "rhe New
York Times" The error is patent
to anybody familiar with the events
Of 1914, 1915 and 1916. Attention
was once more called to it by read

More Truth Than Poetry
By James J. Montague
Ads and the Man

My wants, about month ago,
Were relatively few;
I did not care for style or show,
Like certain parties do.
Enough to wear, enough to eat,
A little money saved,
A house upon a quiet street,
Were all I thought I craved.
Content | roamed the city when
The Yuletide season neared.
Unconscious Of desires-and then
The Christmas ads appeared.
And now my peace of mind has
fled;
I want a Restwell chair,
A Hammock Spring Sleep-easy
bed,
A Zip electric flare,
A Kit-Pact Bag for Motor Trips,
A Find-It letter file,
A set of Grippy Clothing Clips
That keep your pants in style,
A Last Forever Limousine,
A Chime-Tone parlor clock,
An Ajax bottle-tip machine,
A GuardwelI cellar lock.
Alas, an altered man am 7.
My means are very small;
A month ago ] would not buy
This kind of thing at all.
But all these ads before my eyes
Parade each day, until
They fairly seem to hypnotize
A weak and yielding will.
And as my shopward way | wend,
When my days work is done,
If but my coin holds out to spend,
III get them, every one.

AT B0WLUS BURNED
AUTO SERVICE COMPANY. GARAGE
TOTALLY DESTROYED-L0SS
OVER $4,000

Fire last Sunday morning caused the
total destruction Of the large garage Of
the Auto Service Company at Bowlus,
entailing q loss Of over $4,000, only
about half covered by insurance. The
proprietors Of sthe garage, Joseph Sur.
ma and Thos. Wozniak, who were sleep
ing in the building, barely succeeded
in escaping therefrom.
It is thought that the fire started
from an overheated stove in the work
shop in the garage. The village chem
ica1 apparatus was stored in this room
to keep it from freezing and the fire
department had no effective means of
battling the flames. " ~.
Four cars that were in the garage
were a total loss. The proprietors also
lost all their personal belongings. They
were sleeping upstairs and when they
awoke. the fire had gained 50 much
Roadway that it was with difficulty
that they succeeded in making their
WaY out.
