F THIS NATION is forced into actual war with Mexico the atian- Sion of the country ia going to fix iteaif searchingly upon the men and the machinery by whom and by means of which Ameri a troops must be rushed into Mexico—and maintained there. Allowances are to be made for a lack af preparedness, the blanc for which reste upon the nation as a whole allowances for blunders or delays in getting the most vut of resources on band. Supplies for the National Guard appear to be in many States! inadequate. From all directions come calls for blankets, uniforms, shoes, leggings, tente and rifles. Purchasing departments of various, arsenals lament that they have been “taken unawares.” Army ware- houees find themselves without stocks la enews weet sudden demands All thie was to be expected. Nor need it be too much regret lod provided it drives home the lesson of preparedness. But thers be no mistakes now—no delay in placing orders for equipment, cloth | ing and food, no doubt of prompt delivery. The country is in « fall flood of prosperity. Many of its indus- tekes are epectutizing in munitions and el! elee required for the main- tenance of armies. Let it never be said that though we supplied Burope’s war needs we could not meet our own. a MONOPOLY’S NEW METHODS. FEDERAL COURT decision orders the dissolution of tho $80,000,000 Corn Products Refining Company, which ob- tained its charter in New Jersey in 1:06, No doubt as to the methods employed by this corporation in vio- lation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Law is left by the opiniou of lederal Judge Learned Hand: “The Corn Products Refining Company has not only been characterized throughout by attempts to create sporadic compe tition, but we have the richest possible evidence that they never meant to maintain it as a policy, but only to drive out weaker competitors eo as to maintain the field.” “All their conduct illustrates the kind of competition which tries to prevent the development of newcomers who might permanently secure their own position. Deceptive competition between the units of great producing and industrial combinations is to-day one of the most insidious methods of attack upon the purses of American consumers. When the Sherman Law made trusts illegal the master minds of the latter began to study how the progeny could be taught to keep up the predatory habits of the parent. They found the answer in a masque of false competition behind which the old price-fixing could go on unchallenged, If the Federal Courts are awake to monopoly’s néw dodge, so much the better. The consumer never needed protection more than at thie time when Europe’s war has furnished the country’s big pro- ducers with fresh pretexts and disguises for their schemes of plunder. ————»4. MARKSMANSHIP AT PLATTSBURG. HE rookies at Plattsburg appear to have made a fair record T at shooting, considering that many of the men had never pulled the trigger of a rifle before they went to camp. Of the 1,360 enrolled, 534 (some 40 per cent.) qualified as marks- men or better. To qualify as a marksman a man has to make a pre- liminary score of at least 150 out of a possible 225 and then pass a second test with at least 160 out of a possible 250, Vifty-eight men ouaiified as “expert riflemen,” having made 210 out of a possible 250 and 205 earned the right to be called “sharpshooters” on the sree of 190 out of a possible 250, This shows what even brief training will do. Still more, it shows the desirability of some rifle practice for every able-bodied citizen kely to be called on to defend his country, ‘The Swisa are not exactly a warlike people. Yet every Swiss —~ic citizen between the ages of twenty and forty-eight (with minor exemptions) is not only bound to render personal military service, but must also attain a certain proficiency as a marksman, however many times ‘he has to be called out for practice to gain the requisite skill. This nation may try hard to be the most peaceful on earth. But as the world etands to-day the peaceful need to do some of the straightest shooting.
