The ease is uiiiue in that it has to
do with one of the latist engines of
war. As is well kiown, United Stites
destroyers andl other sulbmarine light
ers carry depth chairges etaititiing a
large aoun1t of high tx)losives whiclh
are dropit'd in the lait of enemy Sul
marines and expalode luier water.

Manley who last their lives iii the col
lislon1 of that destroyer with a British
vessel were killed by the explosion of
one of these bombs.
In a heavy gale on the morning of
December 17, 1917. a depth charge on
the Itemlik broke loose from its posi
tion on the stern. The box went over
board, baut the charge was hurled in
the oppositet direction and went bounc
ing abaut the dick. As it weighs hun
dreds of po(undls it was imposslible for
anyone to lift the honb and carry it
to safety. It was even (lattaerous for
anyone to go to that part of the ship,
lie the seas were washing over the
stern. As the tallictrs an(1 crew
watchetd the hib some one shouted.
"The 1411's Cone out !" ltetlizing the

Delivery of the first of the 1,02t
locomotives ordered by the railroat
administratIon will start In July, an<
deliveries will continue moiithly during
the rest of the y ar. The locomotives
are of six stan(ard types, with one
heavy and one light style in eachf type.
They vary in wel -ht from 290,000
Pounds to 540,000 pounds, and the en
tire orler will cost about $00,000,000,
The six standard types are expected
to eventually supersede the many
klnds now in service, which embrace
engines built according to 500 or more
sl)eclications. According to the rail
road administration, this is the first
real step ever taken toward the wide
standardization of locomotives.
An order has also been placed for
100,000 freight cars of standard type
to cost bet ween $250,000,000 and $300,
000,000. Negotiations for the construe
tion of many thousand additional steel
freight cars are still pending. The flve
ftypes of cars ordered represent the
standard forms of freight cars ad(lopted
by the railroiad administration.
The a(option of these standard
Iypes, it is hellevedl, wvill eventually
substitute a few scientiilcally worked
nut designs for the numerous miscel
lanleous varietles of cars, representing
prolably more than a thousand differ
ent old styles and sec iflat Ions now
in use, the accumulations of the past.
Before an airplane can be put into
mnilitary service it must be eiulppel
with at least nine delicate aeronautic
instrninents. some of which nie abso
lutely essenlia to exact flying, and all
contribute to the successful operation
of a plane. One gives the pilot his lo
enlit it as to height and (lirectioni; oth
+rs tell his speed through the air, the
speed of his propeller, the amount of
gasolitne carried, water temperature,
operation of the oiling system, and
guide his "banking" on turns. An
other necessary article is the oxygen
supplying apparatus, without which an
aviator could not climb to any great
height.
For operation of actual combat
planes, such as observing, photograph
ing, bombing, and Aghting planes,
other complicated and expensive in
struments and sets of apparatus are
necessary. Among them are machine
guns, gun mounts, bornb racks, bomb
dropping (levices, bomb sights, radio
1111(1 photographic apparatus, electri
cally heated clothing, lights and flares.
These bring the total cost of equip
ment for an airplane to several thou
sand dollars each, depending upon the
type of plane.
Nearly 2,000 types and sizes of farm
implements which have been gradually
developed by manufacture'rs (uring
peace-ti m1e competition have been ree
minended for elimination during the
war by committees of the National Im

oh.I.et, acc(ording to a statemuent by
the Couiell of National Ilefense, is to
conserve materials, falor, ca'tfnl. and
manufacturing facilitIes for war use.
In the report of the comin tee meet

of the Councll of National Defense it
was stated that no nimlchinery recoin

by General Maurice.
'GIVEN VOTE OF CONFIIENCE
German Attack South of Ypres Smash

By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
Premier Lloyd George and his cabi
I net successfully weathered another
storm last week when the house of
conmlons, by a vote of 203 to 100, re
jected Herbert Asquith's motion pro
viding for the appointment of a spe
cial committee to investigate charges
mlade against the premier by Maj. Gen.
l'rederick B. Maurice. Having (le
clr(ed that he would considered the
action of the commons as a test of
coullidence. Mr. Lloyd George would
have resigned and turned the conduct
of the war over to Mr. Asquith had the
latter been sustained. As it is he hay
won another great personal victory
largely by means of the statement hl
made in the house-an ex parte state
ment, to be sure, but one that im
pressed his hearers with his evideni
honesty and frankness.
The charges made by General Mau
rice, formerly director of military op
erations, were that the premier au
other oflcials had deceived the people
by false statements concerning the
army. The accusations were fully re
futed by Lloyd George, who shiowe<
that his statements wvere madle on irl
formation obtained from General Maui
rice's department. He protested1 vif
orously against such dilstracting an
paralyzing controversies and implore
that there should be an end to "snii
ing." lie called Maurice's action
flagrant breach of diseipline, especia
ly lpernicious In its effect on a nie'
army and not understandable to the a
lies of Great Britain.
Thmere is no reason to question thm
patriotism of General Mauriee's m<
t ives in precipitating the crisis, but
9 i eviuent that lhe was imade the tot
of the poitical opponents of the pra
maier who hoped to ridle into ollce o
the resulting storm. Presunably tih
olfend~ng ofilcer will be court mai

e Lloyd-George government brought on a
ish and French there out of some of
their first-line trenches. But later in
the uircht the British counter-attacked
and regained all that had been lost.
Two IHun divisions carried out this at
tack and they suffered heavy casual
ties. On Thursday morning the enemy
made a new attack on the Flanders
front north of Kemmel and slightly
bent the Brittsh line. At the same time
troops from Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick made a great raid on the
German outpost line at Neuville-Vitas
se, southeast of Arras, taking prison
ers and guns and inflicting many cas
ualties.
Most of the American troops that
have been moved into the battle re
gion appear to be placed along the line
between Montdidier and Noyon, and
they are giving a good account of them
selves there, as are also those hold
ing the Toul sector. There have been
no heavy operations in either sector
recently, but the artillery in both is
always active and the American gun
ners have proved their excellence. They
are now using their heavy artillery
northwest of Toul after several weeks
of preparatiOn. The American casual
ty lists, still relatively amall, are in
creasing daily.
--
There is no indication that the Ger
man high command will abandon its
plan of smashing the British army and
forcing a breach between it and the
French. Ludendorff is increasing his
resources in every way possible and
Austria and Bulgaria have been called
on to supply troops for garrison duty
in order that the Germans may be sent
to the front. Intimations such as have
appeared in some German papers that
the attempt to reach Paris will be
abandoned mean nothing. No doubt
there will be repeated great offensives
throughout the summer, and the allies
are preparing to resist them to the ut
most, their intention being to main
tain their lines unbroken until Ame
- lca's men are there in suilicient nuim

'The German vice chancellor an

it had insured the indppendence and

ed that Grand Duke Adolf Friedrich of
Mecklenburg-Strelitz has been selected
as king of Finland. Little news of mo

Germany vwill get little food from the

Gutzon Blorglum's charges that graft,

MERE HAMMERING MAY WIN
But More Effective Way to End War
Would Be to Open Eyes of the
German People.
Among the applicants for enlistment
in the Marine corps the other day was
a man with a wooden leg, lie gave a
demonstration to show that his arti
ficial nember could he unscrewed with
such celerity as to make it equally
useful as a baseball bat with which
to wallop the pill in the regimental
series or as a vnr club with which to
clout blockheads in raids on the Ger
man trenches.
In swinging at the domes of IIuns
rising stealithily from dugout doors it
wouldn't matter if a man did have a
wooden leg so long as he had his pat
ting eye with him.
Winning the wair, however, is not a
matter of battering brains out.hbut of
hammering sense In. It is not a ques
tlon oif knocking on wood, but or open
ing the eyes of the blInd.
It will take more than wooden legs
to wind up the 'affairs of' the Hlohen
