THE WORLD TODAY
by ARTHUR BRISBANE
GAS PISTOLS AND GUNS.
GERMANY HAS BRAINS
A NEW TRAIN IDEA.
WE TALK FAST. GO SLOWLY.

New York. Chicago and other cenetrs of gangs
ter activity might send explorers to Milwaukee to
investigate report.
General Mitchell in charge of all our flyers
abroad in the big war, says Milwaukee is troubled
by gangsters for the simple that if gangster
appear in Milwaukee 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 it. 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 DO
nee FORCE small enough for the pocket, firing gas
cartridges that ncapactate the person whom they
are fired Police also will have gas guns to shoot gas
through windows and subdue criminals inside
Weapons Of the kind probably will be ac-
quired by criminals which will help to make the lives
OF ordinary citizens more exciting
The Germans. with 10000 looking on launched
their first so-called pocket" cruiser, fighting ship
with which Germans demonstrate their superior en-
cheering and military intelligence
1t is small vessel much smaller than some that
France and the United States are building but far
superior in every way. great number of small
compartments enable the new cruiser named Dent
schand to resist the discharge of several torpedoes
or mines Six 11-inch guns, mounted in armoreo
triple turrets, have range of II miles. This Ger
man ship could destroy every existing 1OOOO-ton
cruiser including United States and French cruisers
with no danger to herself.
With Diesel engines the new German fighting
unit more brilliantly designed than any other in the
worid, mas cruising range of 10000 miles.
We have the money. and France won the victory
put 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 a really
fast railroad train designed by Professor Wiesinger
in Switzerland.
It's coaches made of light aluminium will, weigh
only three tons EACH and will be driven by airplane
propellers, will travel 223 miles an hour
such train would take passengers from New
York to San Francisco in IA hours You will get
sucn trains IN the United States eventually.
Al Williams, one Of finest young American
flyers, recently of the American navy. said: "The
United States talks fast and flies slowly England
flies fast and talks slowly"
Britain holds all the speed records that have any
real meaning the airplane record 357 miles per hour;
the automobile record 246 miles: the nnotorboat
record of over 100 miles, and motorcycle record of
over $50 miles. And they have achieved these records
in "hard times" The British manage to do what
they have to do.
Governor Roosevelt, of New York travelling
abroad. discovers that French agriculture and in
dustry balance each other and minimize any slump
The French mechanic unable to find work at his
trade goes to work on the farm of uncle or other
relative.
More than six million Frenchmen own the land
for which they recently fought well.
The government will abandon ffty-three army
posts, largely obsolete. to money.
SoseTuulenC miSnC also get rid OF its military
gee-gees" or cavalry, keeping stuffed specimen
in the Smithsonian institution to the dnosaur
for the information of those interesed.
Mr.. Green. head Of the American Federation of
Labor thinks there is conspiracy Of bankers to re-
duce wages. This writer has heard bankers talk
about "the absolute necessity Of debating wages"
But they all agreed that cut in wages Gripping the
workers buying power would be a short cut to
deeper depression.
While the discussion goes on, wages are cut in
many directions, and there will be more cuts, until
times improve.
The question in depression isn't SO much what
you ought to do what you would like do as what
you do
Twelve nations in Europe to say nothing of this
one are worried about Russian industrial, CONNER
cial and business competition The export markets
OF the United States are much affected" you are
told. Where used to sell goods, Russia is under
selling us. European nations want to form a trade
agreement against Russia and probably will
no better than they did with their United States Of
Europe that was to tear down barriers among them
selves.
The way to compete with Russia is to compete
not merely weep growl
IF we can't beat Russia at manufacturing and in
prices, Russia will beat us in the worlds markets
and yelling ''bolshevism" won't prevent it.
