 Washington, Sept 26.-The Big Bertha" is likely to prove one of the most effective arguments for con- tinuing the entente between Great Britain and France.
 This opinion, advanced first by Gen eral Herr, Inspector General of French Artillery and one of the he roes of Verdun. is receiving the seri- ous consideration of British politicians and military experts alike, and prob ably will have it's influence in the de- termination of British policy toward France, according to advices just re- cetved here from London. sssr
 With modern, 1ong-range cannon, General Herr declares. France could control the English Channel and bonn bard many English cities, including same instruments of modern warfare could lever Lille. LeHavre, Arras or AmienS.
 Could Increase Range of Guns
 ''The range of Germany's Big Ber- thas' used during the war reached 130 kilometres, but this could indu- bitably be increased" said General Herr. "One may be sure that the av- craze range of artillery in the next war will be 40 kilometers and that, thanks to the betterment of metallur- gy and ballistics, the range may at tain even 200 kilometres. In such circumstances the Allies could keep under fire Westphalia, the duchfes of Hesse. Baden, Wurtemburg and even the whole district of Wiersbourg, in Bavaria.
 NO material contingency could hamper the installation of long range guns, which could be easily moved along the front, thanks to our inn portant railway systems. Great Bri- tain, to defend her coasts, would ex- tend her zone of action to Vissingen and keep under her firing Bruges Lille, Arras. Amiens, LeHavre and the south of Cherbourg and finally circle round the United Kingdom at a dis of nr,% +, hand. French guns would keep under fire the mouth of the Mouse, also liar wich, London, Portsmouth, Southamp- ton, Dorchester. Dartmouth and the coast of Cornwall and Bilbao"
 From these premises General Herr draws the obvious inference that a war between Great Britain and France would be too disastrous to contem- plate, hence the desirabi1ity of con- tinuing the entente or good under standing which now exists.
 Whole Coast Within Range
 Discussing the subject from a naval point of view General Herr points out that the whole English coast would be under range of our guns, while at the same time the English projecti1es could easily cross the channel" It would be an easy matter. he believes. either to attack directly or to outfank in case an adversary succeeded in landing troops or constituting a naval base on any point of the French or Belgian coast.
 Such events are fortunately
 unlikely the general adds. but
 points out that people must
 however. guard themselves
 agaInst the unexpected"
 It would be much more difficult to utilize the long-range guns on naval vessels, General Herr declares. be- cause of the nicety of regulating firing at sea and. also, because men-of-war would be required to return to their base to remove worn-out material thus reducing the offensive strength of squadrons.

 NIGHT SCHOOL IS
 WAY ABOVE 1921
Enrolment For City's Even ing High School Will Continue Tonight.

More than 1,S00 enrolment blanks were distributed at the evening high school last night, when registration opened, and it is believed that fully 1000 of these have been signed. Prin- cipal ohm T. Wadsworth believes that there will be three times more pupils enrolled this year than last, a large number of whom are native American boys and girls attracted by the com plete courses offered.
 Registration will continue tonight and the school will open next Monday evening. Classes will be held on Mon day, Wednesday and Friday nights, each evening being divided into three periods of 40 minutes duration. All subjects are elective, but students are advised not to elect more than they can give serious attention. Certifi- cates showing the hours of attendance and the grades received will be issued at the end of the trm.
 Five cou--cs are on the study blanks issued to the prospective studnts last night. There Is four year course known as the general high school course, a technical course, secretarial course, accountancy course and an industrial course. A domestic arts course of one year Is also included in the course of studies.

ALEX, LEVERTY IS
 BACK AT Y. M. c. A.

Alexander P. Levertv has again re- newed his working connection with the Young Mems Christian Associa- tion, after an, absence of about four months. He will have charge of the boys physical activities which he so ably handled last year. Since his leaving the work last May. MT. Lev erty has been conducting camp at Old Forge, New York.
 The new Craig golf meter, so widely talked of among golf enthusiasts, has been installed at the Y. M. c. A. The meter will no doubt be in great oe- mand owing to the general practica- bility of it. It serves as an excellent purpose for practice, and it's use can- not be compared with anything TOT helping to keep a player in condition during the winter months. This in- strument registers the number or yards the ball travels and also indi- cates whether you have sliced or topped the ball. All ocean steamers are equipped with them and their use has become very popular and success ful. If the demand is sufficient no doubt a class for golf instruction will be formed.

WOMAN POINTS A SHOTGUN AT

Officers Find Gun Is Not Loaded And Claim They Also Found A Still And "Hooch.'

When Federal prohibition agents and members of tie local police de- partment, attached to the Second precinct. entered the home of Julia Sacks, at 443 Helen street, yesterday, they were surprised when a double barrelled shotgun was leve1ed at them by the woman. After a tuss1e, how ever, they found that the gun was not house. One gan~n of "hooch," fifty gallons of mash and component parts of a still were obtained. Mrs. Sacks will be arraigned before United States Commissioner Hugh J. Lavery, Octo- Der 4.
 While the reading party was in the vicinity of a store on Willard street three barrels of what was supposedly vegetables. were received by Vincentzo Curcio of 125 Willard street An examination of the contents of the barrels disclosed that each contained one five-gallon can of alcohol. -Curcio Commissioner Lavery, October g.

was first invented by the Germans, who, while attacking the British forces in March, 1918, simultaneously bombarded Paris" General Herr con tinues. Ut is, however, untrue to as sume that our engineers were entire ly ignorant of this type of gun and that this came as a surprise.
 ''The invasion of our territory de- prived up of the possibility of reach ing objectives other than spots situ- ated on our own soil or in Belgium. Such guns were of no immediate use to us, and we therefore considered it unnecessary to waste time by manu- featuring them while our factories scarcely produced enough ammunis tion for our armies and those of sew eral allies. Our experts knew exactly all necessary data, and one may af- firm without betraying any secrets that in the event of Q new war France will be able to use extensively this new means of warfare"

JOURNALISM

Journalism - the greatest
profession there is in this world
for the man with a brain and a
heart. The lawyer can serve
country only occasionally. But
the journalist every day. The

the journalists seven times
line upon line, precept upon pre-
cept. No other profession gives
a man such an opportunity.
And no other nation gives the
journalist such an opportunity
as ours does. And our country
never gave him such an oppor-
tunity as now. Could I make it

right to sell his influence as a

moral support by his presence.
Mr. Griffin has just returned from a So

Inaugural George Griffin has the knack of
keen observation, and happy faculty of ex-
pressing his experiences and philosophy. He

those who so generously gave him their vote
His election was unanimous and if support is

things. There are many things glaring at
the organization for attention and the work
can start none too soon. There will be and

WHY PRINTING AT KELLS
IS AN ART

A great deal of the joy of life
consists in doing perfectly, or
at least tothe best of ones abll-
ity, everything which he at
tempts to do. There is a sense
of satisfaction, a pride, in sur
veying such a work-a work
which is rounded, full, exact,
complete in all it's parts-which
the superficial man, who leaves
his work in a slovenly, slipshod,
halffinished condition, can never
know. It is this conscientious
completeness aUhich turns work
into art. The smallest thing,
well done, becomes artistic.

W0men Getting Busy

The action of the women in politics so far
this year promises change in the conduct
of the campaign. If they enter the primary
contests and express themselves, the per-
sonnel of the delegates to the Convention will
be decidedly different from that in the
past. Women of both parties and those
active in the League of Women voters insist
that they expect to have voice in the selec-
tion of candidates. This is fine if they work
while they insist They do not even begin to
sense the power that is theirs and the old
line politician is working as never before to
teach them the tricks of success. Only by so
doing can he remain in power. Once the
women really get on to him and his "close
communion" methods, they will set to work
to clean up. And when they so decide, they
need have no fear for with their numbers and
the aid and encouragement they will receive
from the rank and file of men, Success is
theirs. And this old State will begin to come
into its own.

HATCHING EGG BUSINESS
YIELDS TO DAY-OLD CHICKS

Apparently the hatching-egg busi-
ness has reached a stage where it is
Incompatible with the day-old-chick
business-the egg producer finds
greater profit in producing chicks
rather than trying to reach customers
through the usual channels.
Contract hatching-egg producers,
on the other hand, find their industry
very much more lucrative than form
erly, due to the greater demand for
baby chicks.
Because of the establishment of the
chick business on such enormous
scales and the accuracy with which
Matching is done by the big hatcheries,
the competitive value of Matching eggs
has reached decidedly obscure posi-
ton and will remain in that position
Tor many generations to come. Every
year Improvement in hatchability
goes on, and the contract hatchinp-
egg producer is getting out a better
product as the result of research
work along these lines. Of course the
Improvement is small as yet, but edu-
cations are doing wonders in bringing
about better eggs of greater hatch
ability. Fertility does not figure 60
much now since hatchability is recoe-
nlzed as factor in chick production
Fertility and hatchability testing is
now part of the big producers pre-
season work, and conditions are re-
altered as a result of the preseason
tests. Small incubators are used in
many cases for these tests. One Sec
tlon Of a mammoth machine is fre-
quently employed, but no matter how
tests are made, the results determine
the course of the testor, and such
changes in care and feed, conditions
ana environment, are made as will
increase to profitable normal hatch
ability.

Memory Cheers Hero

Marshal Joffre-Newark in her heart well
coined you on your visit Monday we well
coined you as a man. We welcomed the charm
of YOUR smile and personality. We welcomed
you as the Hero of action in the worlds
greatest conflict. But we welcomed you most
of all, as representing and typifying France:
These hills and valleys hereabout have special
and peculiar reason for special greetings
and honor to you and your country.
As you stood on the platform the other
morning, we remembered that just across the
skyline, almost within your view, our own
tri-color was dipped in its first blood of sacrl-
fee and Truth. We remembered that just
out across the hills, your own Lafayette came
to us and drew his sword for that Truth so
appealingly expressed in our Declaration OF
Independence. You stood in the very shadow
of History linking your country with ours:
Through the blur of emotion, we could almost
catch a glimpse of the spirit of Lafayette
himself mingling with us in our greeting to
you. As he came to these hills and offered
his all for our Ideal of Liberty under Law,
so YOU, at the Marne, defended his work and
the work of our fathers. You with the
grandeur and dramatic sacrifice well becom-
ing France, called with appeal and command
that Democracy should live. And France
answered with her blood and thereby guar
anteed this day to you, to us and to the world
We remembered.
Little did you know how much at home you
were among the hills of Pencader, White
Clay and Brandywine. For here it was that
these hills welcomed first your Lafayette and
these hills welcomed first your Lafayette and
this we remembered, yet you knew it not
And we shall remember always. AS you
answered our call, so we greet you Joyously
and pledge our faith to you and yours.
Viue la France!
