in this war is the machine gun. ine
famous forty-two centimeter howit
zer, with its ungainly body; like noth
ing so much as a prehistoric monster
from the age of reptiles, and the lean.?
searching, accurate French '!75,;jiave,
thundered their way into the public
notice, but the men in the trenches
wh6 have faced them all say that
nothing smashes a charging column
half so quickly as the wicked little
machine gun, with it spiteful rattle
and bark.
The United States Infantry Journal
of Washington occupies much of its
space in a recent issue concerning
this same machine gun in an effort to
bring before this country a glaring
particular in general unpreparedness.
It points out that there are now some
50,000 machine guns in the German
army alone and at least that many in
the military equipment of the allies.
A translated article in the Journal
written by a foreign infantry captain
gives some idea of the way in which
Germany prepared herself to make
good use of this comparatively new
arm.
The German army had a machine
gun company attached to each regi
ment of infantry. Thus it was as
sured that the gunners "would be
trained as a unit in the handling of
their weapons, and the officers get
experience in times, of peace which
would enable them to meet any
emergency that might arise in time
of war.
The machine gun company consist
ng of four officers and 100 men, has
six guns drawn by horses with the
necessary baggage and forage trains.
The gun itself is a Maxim, model
908, which has been modified and
made lighter in those parts which can
support a diminution of weight with
out injury to the general stability of
the weapon. The driver is se:itti on
the front part of the arriige and
manages the horses with a pair of
ong reins.
Going into action, the gun is taken
off the vehicle and carried bv band to
the plrxe desired. Other men carry
the sled carriage with its extra barrel
and small box of tools, and stiil
others carry the Dail of water to
keep the cooler of the gun barrel
full. The ammunition is brought up
in belts, 2 50 rounds in each belt.
There are three methods in which
the German erumer is trained to fire
the m.iyhine gun. Concentrated fire,
'Punktfeuer," is where the gun is
held as immobile as possible and fired
continually at the target without va
riation of the aim. The second meth
od is known as sweeping in azimuth.
'Breitenfeuer." Here the gun is mov
ed slowly from left to right as one
would play a garden hose. The third
way is called sweeping in direction of
range, "Tiefenfeuer." The muzzle of
the gun is raised and lowered while
shooting.
Each captain is responsible for the
efficiency of his command, and is in
charge of the instruction in firing and
the tactical work of the company. He
was allowed annually 11,000 ball car
tridges for work on the target range
and 100,000 blanks for practice in
handling the gun. Forty thousand of
the blanks were used at the annual
field manoeuvres and the rest at drill.
The Germans, according to the ar
ticle in the Journal, believe their ma
chine guns capable of fighting over
any ground where infantry can op
erate. There must alwavs he an
merit of surprise in the work of the
quick-firers, for h etcen m-,asulter
grouping the men around the gun
without any shield makes it impossi
ble to keep up the fight as soon as
they attract. the attention from pne-
my artillery or infantry at rest.
However, with a hundred of these
guns rattling on the line of fire, with
the reserve gunners lying in hiding,
ready to take the places of those who
fall, and so keep up a continuous fire,
the charging column is apt to melt
before it like snow, or the pursuit of
retreating infantry will be held up
until the pursuers take time to put
the last of the machine guns out of
commission.
The Journal says there are scarce
ly one-fiftieth of the number of Ger
man machine guns in this country,
and the papeij urges Congress to take
the matter up this fall, when it deals
with the question of national unpreparedness.

States District court today by Attor
ney General Gregory. The suit, it
is said, is the forerunner of similar
suits which will involve producing
wells in Wyoming valued at $100,
000 to $200,000.
The proceeding Is said to be based
on an executive order issued by Pres
ident Taft September 27, 1909, by
which lands on which the wells are
located were withdrawn from entry.
The legality of this order was sus
tained by the United States Supreme
court. According to the Taft order
the withdrawals were made to con
serve the nation's oil supply for the
benefit of the navy.
In addition to a permanent injunc
tion the government asked a tempo
rary restraining order to compel the
immediate suspension of operations
in the Grass Creek and Salt Creek
oil districts and damages for all oil
extracted since the executive order
became effective.

Slain Judge Was Engaged to Three
Women.
Judge Willis S. Knowles, who was
slain from ambush on Labor day near
his home in Scituate, N. J., was en
gaged to three women at the same
time. He had promised to marry
Miss Mabel Bowes, a fashionable
Providence dressmaker; Miss Louise
Bowen, living in East Greenwich, a
suburb of Providence, employed as
clerk in the insurance commissioner's
office at the state house, and Mrs.
Cora E. Wardwell, employed as his
housekeeper for 10 years, the di
vorced wife of Harry A. Wardwell, of
East Cambridge Mass.
The heart affairs of the murdered
judge have overshadowed for the
time being the mystery of his death
in a lonely stretch of roadway within
hailing distance of his summer home,
while on his way to open eourt. His
three fiancees were dumfounded to
hear of rivals. Each supposed she
was the only one claiming his affec
tions. They say he told them so,
and each believed him. His death
was a shock to them, but his duplic
ity hurt them even more. They sim
ply cannot account for it, they say.

While - the variety and . quantity is
net' yet sufficient, he suggested that
the industry is young and that the
producion and number of colors pro
duced is increasing. , !
"You may not be able to purchase a
vest of color to match your tie and
socks this-winter," sai the, secretary,
"but the United Statea is' gradually
developing the industry of producing
dye, and the situation is gettingjbet
ter dally. You will be able to par
chase a red flannel shirt, but .you
may not be able to buy the eyact
shade of pink trousers that ahoujd go

The. secretary disclosed the fact
that he had offered to stand as con
signee for the two cargoes of dyes re
ported to be in German ports and
held from shipment by the German
government in order to obtain from
England a concession that cotton be
admitted to Germany. "This situa
tion cannot be met by the United
States," he added, "because It is a
matter that concerns the allies pri
marily." Moreover, while he made the offer
to stand as consignee, he is doubtful
whether there really are two cargoes
of dyestuffs ready for shipment to the
United States. The factories in Ger
many that would make dyes are just
the sort of factories that would make
munitions in time of war. Therefore
he is doubtful whether Germany is
producing any surplus of dyes."

War as a Tonic to Business.
The opinion of the department of
commerce that the war has been a
tonic to all the industries of the coun
try must be taken with cerain qualifi
cations. The country is certainly not
beter off than it would have been had
there been no war. We do not be
lieve that the department means to
convey the impression that it is. How
severely the country suffered in the
early part of the war by its interfer
ence with normal commerce is illus
trated by the contraction of more than
one-third in the bank clearings. Ger
many was our best customer in Eu
rope, after Great Britain, and nearly
all our traffic with it has been cut
off. Our trade with South America
and Asia has been curtailed, because
those parts of the world have had
their commerce-interrupted and can
not buy of us as usual. But the war
orders are beginning to fill the place
the normal commerce which the
of
war displaced, and it may be that be
fore we get through with it the waj;
will create more trade than it has
stopped. So far the greatest single
effect of the war upon this country
has been to increase our sales of food.
