America, according to all accounts,: is showing the Allies the true way out of the U-boat peril.

Fighting runs In families, like red hair, and the records of the British Army are full of names which recur again and again, each generation adding fresh lustre to some name which is bright on the pages of history. Lieutenant-General Sir Hubert de la Poer Gough owns such a name. There was a G-ough In the Peninsula with , Wellington, and when the gallant j shaPe of the fish- and> whlle affording Sikhs--now our best friends and Protection against a blow from a club, brothers-ira-arms--were our enemies, <lends an extra touch 01 ferocity to the WEAPONS OF WARFARE. War Material Furnished By The Fishes of the Sea. Even the fishes of the sea are called on to supply war material. In Polynesia spears are pointed and elaborately edged with the teeth of sharks. Such a weapon makes frightful wound, tearing the flesh to tatter: Another instrument of frightfulness in the South Sea archipelagoes is a dagger similarly equipped with shark's teettf. Warriors of the Marshall Islands, sometimes wear battle helmets made of the skin of the porcupine fish, which is very thick and spiky.

This., is the age of huge j fly poilon.ftakeS ships, and in peace times big ships are ' Bairetin- ««ppie= cheaper in every way than small ones. But a well-aimed torpedo sinks a fif-teen-thousand-tonner as easily as it sinks a trawler, and a tremendous cargo is got rid of at one blow. Now the idea is to have fifteen ships of one thousand tons, instead of one of fifteen thousand. Even a U-boat can't be in fifteen places at one and the same time, and if five of these boats are sunk, ten get through with their invaluable loads of corn and leather and timber and sugar. These small boats, being standardized and built on speedy lines, will go far to counter the menace in the near future, for just as Britons proved that munition-making can be speeded up beyond a point even unimaginable before the war, so can ship-building, if the problem is only tackled with that determination which is a British characteristic.

The European conflict, with is far-reaching consequences, has forced mankind into strange and weird situations, and compelled the adoption of I policies to meet the situation which j are strangely Utopian and dreamed of j only by such visionary wind-jammers as Debs, Bellamy and their like. Undoubtedly, a double emergency i exists in the United States, if not j throughout the world, and to meet it j extreme measures must be adopted. War of unheard of proportions is harrying a continent, and it is fast' reaching c5ut to embrace every nation I under the sun. Millions of men here-1 tofore engaged in the productions of the soil are now, and for nearly three years have been, doing nothing to-1 wards production, but everything within their power, aided by the: ] science of destruction, to make the , land barren. Then, as if all nature were in full accord with the plan of destruction, meteorological conditions have prevailed that have reduced pro-: duction in all cereal exporting coun-1 tries far below the normal average. We must" meet this conspiracy of ambitious man and Mother Nature, '• and about the only weapon we have j is to follow Europe in stimulating and conserving life's necessities. The U.

For all this the people as a whole will be truly grateful and thankful, for they would much prefer to trust themselves to a paternalistic government than to the greed and avarice of individuals and corporate monopolies, whose lust for gain is not penetrated by a single ray of pity.
