One of the many grievances against Americans that the Germans have de- veloped lately is based on the report- ed use of sawed-off shotguns by our troops. There doesn’t seem to be any of- ficial testimony as to, whether Per- shing’s army is using this weapon or not; but it is certainly conceivable that an abbreviated double-barreled shotgun might do valiant execution in short-range trench sMooting. The German indignation, in fact, seems to be due to this very effectiveness. It is a barbarous implement, our Hun critics say, which no “honora- ble fighters” would think of using, /and then the hay, “Me cut hay, Me It is a weapon fo® barbarians.

We are ac-| customed, anyway, to using buckshot for beats and burglars. | OUR HUGE NAVY In contemplating the gigantic growth of our army, we have almost overlooked the navy. That branch of the service, which war far more nearly adequate. than the army in personnel and equipment at thé be- ginning of the war, has had a de- velopment hardly less remarkable than the army’s. There are now more than 6500,- 000 men in the navy. That number does not include thé naval mechanics and laborers, but only the armed forcés. It represents a gain in per- sonnel of about 700 per cent. The present strength is said to be four times lareer than Great Britain’s was before the war, and nearly as large as all the pre-war navies of the World. Ships have multiplied almost in| the same proportion as men, if we} reckon, along with the fighting craft} already and built, those under eon- struction. Our naval power is now increasing far more rapidly than that of the first naval power, Great Brit- ain. We may expect to be nearly equal by the end of the war. 0.

The’ country will aim again at the billion-bushel mark next year, and while using wheat more freely than of late, will keep on econ- pas,” pected. This year’s wheat, which the agri- cultural department hoped would total a round billion bushels, is now) expected to amount to a little less than 900,000,000 bushels. With that) total, even if we kept the usual quan- tity for domestic consumption, we! should have left about 350,000,000, for export. Figurihg on a moderate degree: of economy, we may expect} to have a surplus of 400,000,000! bushels or more. This surplus bé-} comes still more impressive When we consider that our major allies have considerably more wheat of their own than they raised last year. There are. big crops and liberal surpluses, too, in Australia and Argentina. Why, then, should we preceed to raise still more wheat, and continue saving, thus adding to the surplus\at both ends? The answer is simple.| The precedent is found in the policy inaugurated by Joseph, Pharaoh's food administrator, in ancient Egypt. In years of plenty, Joseph prépared for years of dearth. Instead of us-' ing up Egypt’s record ¢rops, he lim-, ited consumption and kept right on encouraging production. As a result, when the seven lean years came,! Egypt and neighboring nations were saved from starvation. Our food administration seems to be copying Joseph’s “wheat corner” ! masa Pere yeepPlus, Just chew, much; omizing thrudut the year. If our al- lies’ crops fail next year, we can then save them. If a surplus is possible again next year, we shall save that, too, for the sake of se- curity. Sooner or later, we and the rest of the world are pretty certain to need that wheat. As for the Aus- tralian and Argentinan supply, it is not available, owing to the lack of ships. Eventually it may add to our own sufplus. a Our duty, then, as-a nation, and as individuals, as producers and con- sumers, is plain. We must produce all we can, and consume no more than we absolutely need. And this policy applies not only to wheat, but to all non-perishable foodstuffs. | One No. 32 Star Drilling out- fit (300:foot machine). Has extra 4 and 6-inch bits and Comptete Set of Slips.
