DEVILISH INVENTIONS
Simon Lake, the great builder of submarines, believe
lien fully perfected, and enough of them ore supplied, then
ill be no more building of dreadnoughts or any other form o
rhting ship. He believes they have already prevented th
ming together of the mighty fleets of Great Britain, Franci
id Germany in battle. He thinks if the United States were »<
iild plenty of them inland, they could, when needed, lx
ipped by rail to any point on the coast and that in that win
r country would be made safe against any invasion, that on
asts and coast cities would be safe against attack. He say:
at during the war between Russia and Japan, he built sub
wines, (at Bridgeport, Conn.), sent them to Germany oi
ipboard, thence by barge to St. Petersburg; thence bv rail b
ildivostok, 6,000 miles away, over the Trans-Siberian rail
ly. Mr. Lake thinks the day is clqseat hand when the onh
fe place for a battleship will be in an interned' pond, closelj
otected against land attack.
What the new Arizona will cost when completed and armed
'«‘d complete twenty-five submarines, and the Jo craft wouh
handled by half the men required for the Arizona.
The statement of Mr. Lake sets one’s imagination working
hat the Arizona will cost would, put into submarines, maki
' harbor of Honolulu or the harbor of Manila safe against
• entire navy of Japan. What a bracer of the Monroi
ctrine they would be if any power of the old world decided
d it wanted a large portion of some South American state,
When the little Monitor drove tin* Merrimac back helpless
her anchorage, the maritime nations of the old world saw
it the building of any more wooden ships for fighting pur
)es would be useless. Is it not about time to conclude that
day is past for armored ships unless some method can hr
>pted to protect them from undersea sleeping?
Again, while the world is crying out against the poisonous
tea which the Germans are discharging against the allies,
t not just possible that chemistry is going to supply the final
•ror which is to compel nations to adjust their differences
hout wars? Or may be the agent will be electricity—a
ans to electrocute an army while the soldiers are sleeping!
In the long ago the “cohorts” of Sanacharib—“gleaming
lurple and gold,” lay down at night confident of victory and
ch loot on the succeeding day. Rut they never awakened
m that sleep. We are told that “the angel of the Lord”
)te that army in the night.
What instrument did the angel select for the business?
Was it a ground current from a charged wire? Or may be
low flow of carbonic acid gas like that which coming from
eruption of the Martinique volcano put a final sleep upon
people of St. Pierre?
These are days when peaceable nations should not only be
pared for war, but should' be offering premiums for the
ention of something so terrible that its use will make war
possible.—Ex.

There is said to be mystery in the cargo of the schooner
lie Larsen, now at Hoquiam -the mystery of 4,0(10 Spring

Huerta’s emotions lead us, to find another difference
ween American and Mexican character, the same being that

HUMANE WARFARE
Berlin’s defense of the use of poisonous gases on the
und that it is no more inhuman than drowning men by
ldating the trenches lias at least this point in its favor—it
ignizes that humanity is a consideration which militarism
not escape.
In fairmness to Germany we confess it would be hard to
gine anything more inhuman than the modern explosive,
use if which is considered “legitimate.” The cold-blooded
*estion of II. G. Wells to send two thousand areoplanes to
many on a series of regular raids until all German crops arc
ned' up and the starvation of the people forces tin* kaiser tc
ender hardly sounds like a humanitarian proposition. Tn
, there is no such thing as humane war. Humanity and wai
contradictory terms. War in itself is a recess from
ization.
And because civilization is irreconcilably opposed to wai
tization cannot afford to get out of the way, fold its hands,
give up all effort because war happens to break it. Wi
t resist war every step of tin* way, place every possible
riotion upon its inhumanities. People who defend anything
may be done in war on the theory that “war is hell,” any
, and one thing is no worse than another, are working on
lame old theory as those good' people who used to welcome
y kind of evil and misery, and rejoiced to believe the
d was gradually getting worse in the hope that it would
be so bad the Almighty could no longer stand it and would
glitway send down the millennium.
But the progress of civilization does not come in that
mpromising way. It is a long series of gradual restraints,
ements, and compromises. If barbarism cannot be driven
if the world its sphere of activity at least may be limited,
ther the use of gas is a return to barbarism or a new
• ing of its sphere is a question that still remains to be
led. But once it is decided the continuance of such methods
be settled on humanitarian grounds. Humanity will
uer in the end.—New York Times.

, Some people in our town are never satisfied'. They an
naturally “fominstera.” They kick no matter what goes on
and if they owned a few thousand shares of stock in the Kenne
eott mine they would he protesting that if if was not for som<
fault in the management their dividends would he larger. Ii
some aspects these people recall the story of the Arizona Hotel
a guest of which called up the clerk at midnight and said:
“There are a couple of mice fighting up here in room 42.’
0 “What are you paying for that room?” asked the sleep;
a clerk.
“Two dollars.”
“Well,” yelled the clerk, “what do you expect for $2—i
. hull fight?”
