HAD FEAR OF PRINTED WORD
In EnoIand In the Seventeenth Gen.
fury There Were Severe Restr'e-
lions on the Press.

In the beginning of the seventeenth
century there were but 10 print shops
in all London, and every one OF these
was under strict observation OF botn
the archbishop of Canterbury ana rep
resentatiyes of the company of sta
TONERS. Every page that was set up
had to be examined by representatives
of both, and the presses were Locked
and chained every night so that no one
could secretly print anything. In case
the printer did not obey the commands
of these censors he went to jail, ana
for man TO secretly own printing
press was just one w0y of attempting
suicide.
AS result of this, a great many
books were printed in Holland, es,
pecially on religious and political
subjects. and struggled over 10 the
British isles for distribution. There
was a very crafty belief among th'
ruling powers that careless distribu

improved Gunnery in the Navy.

Analysis of the gunnery exercises OF
the American navy during the past
year shows that the greatest progress
toward efficiency was made by vessels
of the battleship class, due to the
large number of men aboard such
ships and the comparative stability OF
the personnel. The Navy department
considers that battleship gunnery Is
at present about equal to that OF

THOSE WHO LIVE BY WAR.

Just now the forces and interests that live and
profit by war" observes the Philadelphia Ledger, 'are
dazed and Keeling from the tremendous impact of the
American proposals. The white-hot enthusiasm with
ton of existing armadas and the ten-year building
truce has cowed the seinsh. They have bowed to the
whlriwlnd that swept out of Washington Saturday,
Jut-
These proposals of America strike at Jobs and ca
rsers, at dividends and industrial dreams; at great
3!ants and winters on the Riviera and at mighty yards
and mills and shops and at private yachts drifting un-
der Caribbean moons. They. will wipe out mems fu-
ture and dwindlc fortunes made or in the making. In
them there will be a far-reaching adjustment of many
OF the worlds greatest industries and the disturbance
of ancient and vested interests. For these proposals
will cut through one of the Oldest, thickest and deep
est of the taproots of war. Carried through to their
logical end, they will make old institutions and an
cient crafts no more than a song that is sung or a
tale that is told.
''These vested interests and their allies will fight. If
the more impressive and powerful machinery of war
at sea is to vanish it will go because the vested inter
ests of war cannot hinder its going. The men who
out gun turrets cannot be expected to welcome the
ending of their day. Nor can the men who point these
guns and command these ships.
THE mingled forces of reaction, selfish and unset
fsh, are many, and they are strong enough to make
themselves felt. 1t will not be long until their coun-
gin to roll in upon the conference. In ways direct
and indirect, tipped with venom and directed by greed,
fear and hatred, they will take their course.
"The friends of arms limitation, of peace and of
that disarmament that is beginning to loom upon the
horizon must be ready, anxious, even eager to meet
and shatter these attacks and arguments and choke
these certain intrigues. 1t may as we'll be fought out
now There never wa a better hour and place for
the Armageddon of ornaments than today in Wash

LIvETH FoREvERMoRE.

A subscriber wrote the Kansas City Star inqairing
the source of the quotation used in connection with
war memorials, "Their anne liveth forevermore."
This afforded an opportunity to call attention to a lit
tie known but great piece of literature.
The quotation occurs in the forty-fourth chapter
OF Ecclesiasticus, one of the books of the Apocrypha.
The writer feels strongly the worlds debt to its lead
ers, to the men who have wrought out the fabric of
civilization. In stately verse he invites his readers
with the words, Let US now praise famous men," He
sings the praise of the artifcer and workmaster, of
the physician, the composer of music and others:
Let us now praise famous men.
By whom the Lord hath wrought great glory.
Such as did bear. rule in their Kingdoms.
And were men renowned for their power,
Giving counsel by their understanding.
Such as have brought tidings in prophesies;
Leaders OF the people by their counsel.
So he celebrates the list of heroes, in very much
the strain that Kipling might have used in referring to
the mighty dead of England. He sums up in these
noble lines:
All these were honored in their generations,
And were the glory OF their times.
Yea. they were men of mercy.
Whose righteous deeds have not been forgotten.
Their bodies arc buried in peace.
But their name iiveth forevermore.
Their bodies are buried in peace, but their name
iveth f9revermoreF' Are there any more splendid
lines IN the language?

A AGE.

what marvels God hath wrought, indeed!' pious-
ly quotes the Cincinnati Enquirer. This is the won
der age of the world. Tremendous discoveries null
tiply so rapidly that the miracle of yesterday is the
commonplace fact Of today. We ride through ocean
depths or miles high in the impalpable ether. We hear
the voices of those who have died, and project the
voices of the living over seas and continents.
"Just q few days ago written communications were
exchanged between this country and France through
the medium of radio activity. The autograph letters
of Premier BRAND and General Pershing were flashed
from Paris and in an instant they were read in Amer
lea! Photographs now may be transmitted over tele-
phone and telegraph wires for reproduction at the
point of reception. Pictures and messages are per
fectly clear.
arrangements were made to have the presidents
Armistice day address heard simultaneously in all the
capitals of Europe through radio mediumship!
up at Madison, Wis, a few evenings ago the Gin
c.nnati Symphony orchestra, under the leadership of
Nsaye, playing before a great audience of more than
two thousand people in the auditorium of the UnIver-
sity of Wisconsin, was heard far and wide in many
other cities through ~amplifers, which carried the glor-
ious music to the ears of the delighted thousands. The
music scared from the university hall to distant Min
nesota and North Dakota and other states. It was
one more wonderful expression of mans triumph over
the resistant mysteries of mind and matter. What
will be the end? What heights and depths of knowl-
edge may yet be scaled or plumbed by the imperial
intelligence of the mortal brain? Truly man is but
little lower than the divine intelligence which faith
and poetry tell US are the ministers of the supreme
Lord of the Universe"
