A WRONG ASSUMPTION Secretary of War Baker evidently entertains some doubt as to the ability of American soldiers to keep their ammunition out of the hands of the Germans. Some time ago the Senate asked the secretary whether ‘American ammunition is interchangeable with French and British ammu- nition, and whether there would be any advantage in such interchange- ability. In his reply, printed in the Congressional Record of June 29, Mr. Baker explains that British and French cartridges cannot be used in American rifles and machine guns, and later says: “In case of an enemy, this lack of interchangeability of am- munition may be of material advantage, but in case of an ally, it is a decided disadvantage.” The assertion that lack of interchangeability may be a material ad- vantage in case of an enemy can be based upon no other theory than that the enemy is likely to capture our ammunition and use it in their guns. Quite likely there will be some capturing of ammunition on both sides before the war is over, but we have great confidence that we shall cap- ture ten German cartridges where they capture one American. We shall be at the disadvantage then, of not being able to use the cartridges in our rifles and machine guns. Down on the Mexican border we have had Americans killed by ammunition made in America but used by Mex- icgns. We don’t expect to repeat the experience in Europe. If lack of interchangeability is to be an advantage, then the outlook is poor for a victory in our war with Germany. TREAT ALL ALIKE Senator Frank B. Brandegee of Conmecticut has succeeded in having cotton included in the list of products which have ben added to the food bill and included under the restrictions on price and production contained in that measure. In presenting the amendment the senator called at- tention to the fact that there would probably be a short crop of cotton this year, and as no article was more universally used in war, both in the manufacture of explosives, and in tents, uniforms, etc., there was every reason why its production and price should be carefully regulated. Of course the Southern Democrats voted against the amendment, supported by two or three Northern members of that party, who are ever ready to assist their Southern brethren in coddling the products of that section of the county at the expense of the North. LAW AIMED AT FOOD PIRATES Congressman Benjamin K. Focht of Pennsylvania considers that it is quite useless to talk about econser—ing the food that we now have on hand, as all our reserve supply has been shipped abroad, but we should bend our energies to saving the supply that will soon be harvested, and fixing reasonable prices for it. Mr. Focht does not believe that the food bill will adversely affect the farmer, but holds that if it is efficiently ad- ministered it will begin and end with the speculator and the man who hoards. “It is the pirate who fixes the prices” that the bill is aimed at, and the congressman hopes that the president and Mr. Hoover will direct their efforts against that class of men, but if they try to regulate the farmer, Mr. Focht sees nothing but trouble ahead. ] WHY AN EDITOR IS One of the reasons why is an editor, is that he never has the faintest conception of what he is going into until after he is in. Naturally he wouldn’t have gone in it if he did, and we would never have any editors. Whether that would be a loss or a gain we leave to our readers.—Stillwater Gazette. We know SOME editors who have a pretty fair idea of what they are going into but don’t let that deter them for a moment. ‘We insist, however, that some day there will be an end to all wars— when the earth is destroyed.
