New York, Chicago and other
centers of gangster activity might
send explorers to Milwaukee to in
vestigate report.
General Mitchell, in charge of all
our flyers abroad In the big war,
says Milwaukee is not troubled by
gangsters for the simple reason
that If a gangster appears In Mil
waukee the Milwaukee police shoot
him. And Milwaukee police do not
make deals with the gangsters or
divide their profits.
the mayor appoints police chiefs,
says General Mitchell, and that
ends 1t. The mayor has no power Of
removal. Milwaukee has only had
two chiefs of police In 46 years.
New York will provide 'gas
pistols for its police force, small
enough for the pocket, firing gas
cartridges that incapaci.ate the
person at whom they are fired. FO-
lice also will have gas guns to

subdue criminals inside.
Weapons Of the same kind prob
ably will be acquired by criminals,
which will help to make the lives
OF ordinary citizens more exciting.
The Germans, with 10000 look
Ing on, launched their first so-called
pocket cruiser, a fighting ship
with which Germans demonstrate
their superior engineering and mil
itary intelligence.
1t is small vessel, much smaller
than some that France and the
United States are building, but far
superior in every way. A great
number of small compartments en-
able the new cruiser, the Deutsch-
land, to resist the discharge of
several torpedoes or mines. Six
Il-inch guns, mounted in armored
triple turrets, have range of II
miles. This German ship could de-
stroy every existing 10,000-ton
cruiser, including United States and
French cruisers. with no danger
TO herself.
With Diesel engines the new
German fighting unit, more brill
lantly designed than any other in
the world, has cruising range of
10000 miles.
We have the money, and France
won the victory, but Germany
seems to have the brains, in this
case, most important of all.
The important news this week.
that will be important 1000 years
hence, is the news of really fast
railroad train, designed by Profess
sor Wiesinger, in Switzerland.
Its coaches, made of light alum
mum, will weigh only three tons
each, and will be driven by airplane
propellers, will travel 223 miles an
hour.
Such a train would take pas
sengers from New York to San
ATranciseo in Ia hours. You will get
such train In the United States
eventually.
AL Williams, one of our finest
young American flyers recently OF
the American navy, said: "The
United States talks fast and flies
slowly. England fliest fast and
talks slowly"
Britain holds all the speed rec
ords that have any real meaning
the airplane record, 357 miles per
hour; the automobile record. 24e
miles; the motorboat record of over
10O miles, and motorcycle record of
over 100 miles. And they have
achieved these records in "hard
times" The British manage to do
what they have to do.

French agriculture and Industry

The French mechanic unable TO

More than six million Frenchmen

here is a conspiracy of bankers to
