Tt was predicted that when F. S. Chamberlain was elected state trea- surer he would provide some plan for reducing the debt but try as he will he cannot do anything if the legis- lature is going to vote for mew ap- propriations with no money to meet them. Influences are already at work in the interest of some new expendi- tures and there never was a legislative body in Connecticut that did not hearken to this influence, although it must be admitted that the war chest was never in such a condition as it is at present.

It to contemplate the destruction that is being planned in construction of gun the Krupps are manufacturing for the German navy. The projectile, it is said, will weigh a ton, the velocity will be 3,080 feet a second and with a range of about twenty-six miles. It is stated that a vessel at sea can be dis- tinguished about thirteen miles away and perhaps it could be distinguished twice that distance under a powerful glass. The great object in having a gun of this size and range is so that it | t can be relicd upon to do its work at |t a distance beyond that of any other military piece. It is stated that the tmmediate object in the present case | is to enable Germany to command the is awful the new t t of some twenty miles. Tt will remain |1 a question for some time, however, as to the real value of such a gun, not that it will not be capable of great destruction but to get around dif- flculties that must be experienced in making it effective at such long range. Dover, on the English coast, migint easily make a good target because it is quite distance above the water except where the trains come in i from London, the front being a stony | eminence and it would seem as if it could stand a great deal of bombard- ing before there would be any dam age caused, although the constant throwing of a ton shell against with such force as the proposed | Krupp gun could discharge ought to make some sort of impression time it struck. People have recently come from Europe say that over there it is expected that the war will end during the coming summer but whether it will be the | result of intervention or because therc will be no more people to kill has not been explained. It seems to be thc general opinion that the awful de-' struction of the present conflict will prevent there ever being another war like it. Under those conditions the | new long range gun would be more of a curiosity than of any real value. a an every who FACTS AND FANCIES.

A merchant of a rural town in New York interested in human honesty in small matters has recently carried out a test with his customers. In mak- ing change he gave twenty-five cus- tomers a dime too much and noted their disposition to correct the error. He found that about a third of the number pocketed their change with- out looking at it, and that two- thirds who noticed the extra dime had no scruples about taking it. Of the men, about 30 per cent, were honest and called his attention to the mis- take, while half of the women did likewise. On the basis of percentage the women - were more honest than the men.—Norwich Record . Dress Goods. (Fall River Herald.) In five of the larger cities of the | country this week, simultaneous | shows of the beauties of cotton fa- | brics in dres goods are to be made. Special efforts fiave been undertaken to invite many of the women of those cities to the display, so that it is cer- tain that new attention will be given o and new interest aroused in such fabrics. for the coming scason in those cammunities. The incident is of interest in cotton manufacturing circles because §t indicates that the movement started by women in Washington in behalf of cotton dress goods has become more than a pass- ing fancy and has won indorsement quite extensively throughout the couptry. Fashion has already done things to the cotton goods market that did not lend to its prosperity. It | can do things that will tend mightily to make buisness for the looms, and that is what this movement means.

WHAT OTHZRS SAY Views on all sides of timecly questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald office. How Warsaw Was Saved. (Percival Gibbon in Collier's Weekly) The railway stem that veins the country on the German side of the Polish frontier gave the Germans the the start they needed of the Russian general staff; their concentration was complete and four great gray blue armies were on Polish soil and bear- ing down on Warsaw before the Rus- sians had moved a man. They had taken Lodz before Warsaw had even heard of their advance; they were bombarding Ivangorod and its bridges; by the 10th of October they had passed Lowitz and Shirardow and their line was spreading itself to the east like arms which they opened to embrace and strangle Warsaw. And then like a man who sleeps through a fire till his bed catches alight, Russia woke up. The man who saved Warsaw was neither Grand Duke Nicolal Nicolale- vitch, commander-in-chief, nor Rus- ski, the newly-emerged genius, nor Rennenkampf, the Stonewall Jackson of Russia. Theirs, perhaps were the if they were errors—that ena- did; it is difficult to judge of that kind of thing. What was wanted at the moment was not generals; it was transportation. Warsaw, as it hap- pens, is well served with rallways, leisurely, gradual railways governed by the comfortable Russian system that allows for everything but haste and looks on three weeks as a reason- able space in which to carry out a mobilization. Forthwith into the crutch of the emergency stepped the man who could deal with it, Stepan Rukloff, minister of railways. That, and not victory in war, is the standard race—that ‘it can match the occasion with the man. Rukloff was the man. T was at Lyck when the news came; I went down with a trainload of South Siberian Cossacks, and if there were no war to write about I would like to write about that journey in a horse car with those gentle-mannered, slim- waisted long-skirted blood drinkers, the lean secret faces lighted up as drew upon their cigarettes and the queer hissing whisper of their talk as they spoke among themselves. But the wonder just then was the speed of the journey. KEven in normal times, fifteen miles an hour is counted good going in Russia; in war time it is any- | thing from twelve to two; but now we were in a hurry, the side doors of the car were open; from its darker inter- for I saw the night and the dark land beneath it go roaring past; thirty and forty miles to the hour were flying back under our whecls. Behind us and ahead of us were other trains, double-engined, long as: streets and packed to the doors; every line that led to Warsaw had become a channel flooded with men and horses and guns pouring in at Rukloff's speed. Tt needs a rallway man to appreci- ate it, the sheer science and magni- tude of the achievement, the problems of rolling stock, of time schedules and the rest, that were thus solved upon the moment. When the Mother Instinct Fails, (Frances Frear in Leslie's.) A mother who doesn't love her children is an unnatural woman. A lot of people don’t care for children, in general, but when a woman declares that she doesn’t love her own, children we need to prepare for the worst. In this particular instance, that of a di- vorce proceeding in which the mother was denied the possession of her children, the worst was that there was no room in the mother's heart for her own offspring because all her | affection was lavished on horses and dogs. True, she saw that her children were well cared for by servants, but while the children were left to sleep in an adjoining room in charge of a nurse, she kept two puppies cuddled in a cozey corner in her own foom This is It is not often that a woman is so untrue to natural in- stinct as to love a dog or a horse, | however, intelligent or faithful either may be, more than her own child. When such a woman appears she should be outlawed from society and #llowed to live with her dogs and There are women by the hun- dreds who show more enthusiasm and interest over horses and dogs and.au- tomobiles and cards and social func- tions than they do over their children. There are a lot of women whose hus- bands have become suddenly rich, or who have been caught in the mad whirl of extravagant living that char- acterizes our day, who turn their children over to servants altogether, There arc mothers who never had the joy of nursing their babies, who never bate nor dress them or ever play with them, who utterly fail, as the childran grow older, to enter into their lives or to have any sympathetic relations with them. If there is anyone who needs to hear the call to simple living it is such mothers. World Markets for United States. (New York Times.) The country is rejoicing over some hundreds of millions of war con- tracts, making profits for us, it is true, but at the cost of.the exhaustion of the buyers. Tt is repeat orders which make true profits, and they come only in peace, The profits of peace are billions, against the millions of war. Germany, for example, has been ac- customed to export just short,of two billions of dollars’ worth of goods an- nually, and mostly to its neighbors, who will not trade with Germany hercafter, any more than Germany will prefer to trade with them, if there is any alternative, That is the biggest prize of trade in sight. Our foreign trade education is now ad- vanced sufficiently for us to appre- ciate that nations tend to buy where they sell and where they horrow. If we absorb a large portion of Germany's exports than our present comparative pittance of $152,000,000, a mere seven per cent., we shall bal- ance the bill with exports which Ger- many would rather take from us than from the allies, which she cannot get anywhere else, and which we can- not sell elsewhere to better advantage. 1t is this trade we want rather than such profits as France has made by being one of the world’'s bankers, A million dollars loaned will return in- terest, it is true, but It cannot be loaned again before maturity. The | nimble dollar makes the money, not | the stagnant dollar, and the federal | reserve system was organized with | particular reference to the nimble dollar in trade. Germany knows well how to finance itself, and can make its own financial commissions, but when it is buying for consumption it must come here, and soon will get the habit of buying American goods. Germany bought from us wtice as much as she sold to us. To double both exports and imports to and from the United States is to make a mere beginning at the profits to which we are invited by events equally beyond our procurement or resistance. When Germany Is trading again she will trade with us increasingly. 1 Tt is true that there is unfamiliar- ity with these facts. We have pen- alized foreign trade in our earlier history. We have arranged our banking with particular reference to domestic trade. But those are errors of the past. We have now turned our backs upon the taeory that the law should discourage profits sought abroad. We have provided ourselves with the same banking facilities for foreign trade that the rest of the world enjoys, and which we withhold even yet from -domestic trade. We are not so much seeking foreign trade abroad as having it thrust upon us. There are still legal difficulties to be removed, but the obstacles are less than they were, and the future is en- ticing. Tt is to be remembered that the nation is entering into its matur- ity and now needs glasses of a double focus. Our vision has been excel- lent, but rather mvopic. We now need farsight glasses, without disuse of the normal near vision. Some will persist in believing that they see per- fectly. Others are providing them- selves with the double-vision glasses, and they will see their profits a little soon and a little further off than the others. We have the goods. We can give the credit. The lack is the world outlook against which we Thave edu- catéd ourselves, and so need the men with the commercial education to mest the want. There are but few large foreign sellers, and most of them are defendants against govern- ment prosecution., Yet only last week was published the appeal of those dealing abroad that they should be allowed to make reasonable combina- tions for the encouragement of trade in competition with those whose gov- ernments promote such combinations, and even belong to them officially. Our traders may be a little backward, but they are ahead of our politicians and lawmakers and administrators of law. GERMAN PROJECTILE EXCELS IN SPEED | But the American 16-inch Shell Has Greater Energy and More Pene- trative Power in Steel Armor. Washington, Jan. 26.—Lack of pre- cise ballistic data concerning the new Gierman naval 16-inch gun which has chused much discussion in Eng- land, does not according to naval ex- perts here today, permit of a close comparison between it and the new American naval gun of the same coli- bre now under test at Indian Head Maryland. It appears, however, they think, that whereas the German pro- jectile, with a wvelocity of 3,040 feet per second, has a slight advantage over the American 16-inch shell in | speed, the latter weighing 2,150 pounds is more than 100 pounds heavler than the German shot and consequently will have a greater striking cnergy and more penetrative power in steel armor, This, factor of penetration after all, according to leading American naval experts, Is the prime object instead of range, as is generally supposed. Any one of the larger calibres of the American naval guns will now hurl its projectile heyond .the range of human vision, and nothing .of value can be accomplished by shoot- ing further than they do. On the other hand, there is grave objection to sacrificing the defensive power and speed of a war vessel to | unnecessarily large guns, The maxim of the navy department as set out by a distinguished expert is to equip American battleships with the small- est and lightest gun that will pene- trate at ranges within vision the heaviest armor that can be carried on the enemy’s ship Tt is believed that this object has been realized in the new naval 14-inch | gun, which is being placed on the largest dreadnoughts, The 16-inch gun now at Indian Head was designed and constructed by the naval ord- nance bureau with the sole purpose of having ready a larger and more powerful weapon than tne 14-inch gun in case it should be demanded by naval developments. Tt is said that so far no such need has appeared as the result of the naval battles of the present Furopean war. s0 FARN INTERNED. Guard from Porto Rico Regiment Placed in Charge of Ship.

Russian reinforcements are reported as constantly arriving in Bu- kowina, a fact which clearly indi- cates in the opinion of British observ- ers, the intention of Russia to invade Transylvania in force. Defending Carpathian Passes. Petrograd asserts that as a counter to this Russian move against Tran- sylvania, the German army which was sent ostensibly to operate against Servia, is now being directed to the defense of the Carpathian passes in conjunction with the forces of Hun- gary. Petrograd reports, also, that the Russian Caucasian army is closing in on the Turkish Black sea flank, where the Otoman troops are de- scribed as in a dangerous plight. From the same source comes a report that the British army in Mesopotamia has met with some success while ad- vancing on Bagdad. Submarines in Baltic. On the sea the presence of sub- marines near the Island of Ruegen, in the Baltic off the coast of Prussia, has caused the German mail boat to put back to Trelleborg, Sweden, when only a few hours out on her regular run to Sassnitz. Berlin now claims that in Sunday's naval fight in the North sea, two Brit- ish torpedo boat destroyers as well as a British cruiser were sunk. The Brit- ish admiralty continues to ignore these claims, but it has not as yet is- sued any report giving details of the part played in this action by the Brit- ish light cruiser and destrover squad- rons SUPPLY BILL IN HOUSE, $22,000,000 Asked For Department of Agriculture For Fiscal Year.
