HOIK LONG ILL THE HI LAST? A Discussion of Endurance of Machinery Used in Great Con flict Rather Than Men. That 1* ii question that lias bean the subject of much hpeculation, amt the various causes that tend to prolong or shorten till* terrific content hate he«n considered from every point of \ lew. An editorial In a special war Inane of the Scientific American raises an en tirely new and very practical ques tion by discussing the endurance of the machinery used In the war, rather than that of the men engaged. This article says In part; Tills Is very largely a machine-made war. and It would be a curious and not altogether Illogical denouement of the groat struggle If Its end should be hastened through the fatigue of the machine rather than the exhaustion of the man. This wilt Is hein* fought with the gun and the motorcar; and so strenu ous and uninterrupted haa been the s( niggle that these have been put to a tent of endurance the like of which has never been witnessed In the history of artillery or the briefer but very strenu ous history of the gasoline car. Life of the Guns. The life of the gun, no far as Its ab solute destruction by bursting la con cerned, Is practically unlimited; hut not no its accuracy-life. Every time a gnn Is fired some of the Interior sur j face of Its bore and delicate rifling Is wiped away, and a certain degree of Its accuracy ts lost. This is true of the shoulder rifle, with Its bore so small that It would not much more .than admit a lead-pencil, no less than lof the great !*-inch alette gun of the i Hermans. Fortunately for (he infan tryman. the wearing out of the bore ! decrease* rapidly with a decrease in ! the else of the bore Erosion, as It ts 1 called by the artillerymen, ts greater in the large guns and least tn the 0.30 I "isle.

Motor Car. The motor car Is a highly developed l machine, which calls for careful up i keep to maintain It In full efficiency. Ip ordinary commercial service the ; motor car and the Automobile receive. ns a rule, considerable care and ‘ watchful maintenance.

Where 1 are the repair shops that can keep I pace with this depredation, and how shall the necessarily enormous wastage , of the war be made good? It may well be that the fatigue of I the machine rather than the weariness ; of the mag will hasten the clone of the | present war. _ _ _____ THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. * - —'^rfcsgSfKv’tcE.

GERMAN SEIZES 1). S. STEAMER Captain Jacobson, of the Sacramento, Puts Into Val paraiso Charging Violation of Neutrality. Santiago, Chile. The American steamer Sacramento, until a few months ago the German steamer Alexandria, has put Into Valparaiso with a story charging violation of neu trality. The Sacramento left San Francisco for Valparaiso flying the Slurs and Stripes Oct. 15. Captain Jacobson declares his steamer was seized on the high sea by a German warship, taken to Juan Fernandez Island, belonging to Chile and obliged to turn over his provisions and «,000 tons of coal. An Investigation has been begun. INTERESTING WAR TROPHY, GERMAN IN ENGLAND Manchester, England—" Among the most Interesting of ths wsr trophies that haye found thetr way over hare," says ths Manchester Guardian, "art some specimens of the German lance. It Is not a wooden pole, but an U or 11-foot steel tube It is very heavy and at first seems quite unmanage able to a man of ordinary strength. But two-thirds of the way down from the heed toward the butt ts a wrap ping of thick twine to give a grip. And If you hold it there, and there only, you find that It Is so evenly poised (hat as one admiring observer remarked, you could write your name with tt. “There have been some descriptions of case* where the** tubular lances have crumpled up In action like an overburdened steel mast on a racing yacht. Prrhaps that may be account ed for by the peculiar shape of the head. There la no point or spear head of any kind. Instead there l* a solid pleee of Iron shaped exactly like the end of a giant poker, square and quite blunt," Kaiser Chops Ends of Moustache WESTERN RT'S NOW REOREST RATE ADVANCE Protest Filed By Railroad Com missioners of Thirteen States is Filed With Inter-State Board. Washington. — Another advance rate case, quite as important and even more extensive than the one now pending before the interstate com merce commission, probably will grow out of the protest today by railway commissioners of thirteen states against proposed higher freight tariffs on western railroads. The protest was in the form of a. petition to the commission for suspension of the pro posed increases and was signed by railway commissioners of sowa, Ne braska, Washington, California, Mon tana. North Dakota. South Dakota, Oregon. Missouri, Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma. Practically all railroads operating west of the Mislsaippi River have fil ed freight tariffs with the commis sion, effective December 15th, making advances tn commodity rates. The Increases are not a flat amount on all freight, ns in the case of the eastern lines, but vary according to the com modity from two percent to approxi mately 12 per cent. They effect all of the commodities that ordinarily enter Into Interstate transportation. It Is regarded as likely that the com mission will tentatively suspend the advances, so that an issue may be created upon which hearings may be held as to the reasonableness of the proposed Increases. INTEREST GREAT IN SPY CASE Trial of Bridgeman, With U. S. Passport, Alias von der Goltz, to Follow That of Lody, Shot London, 4:08 p. m —The Intense pub lic Interest In the case of Carl Haqs Body, the recently executed German spy, Is being parallelled in less degree by attention given the trial of the man who claims to be Bridgman Taylor. In police court" today, the prisoner, who has an American passport in the name of Taylor, but whom Scotland Yard# Insists Is Horst von der Goltz. was remanded for further hearing. It is intimated the next hearing will be before a court martial. The only charge against the pris oner aa yet la that he has not regis tered aa an alien. It is alleged, how ever. that circumstances of the case are similar in some particulars to thoee of the Body trial. The prisoner arrived in London Nevember 3rd and registered at a hotel as B N. Taylor, of El Paso. Texas. His passport states he had Just come from Ger many. He Is said to have boasted of Germany's great prowess and to have spoken mostly In German. IVhen he uses English It ia with a decided Ger man accent. Guests at the hotel say the man told them hs wa* born In America, that hts mother was a German and his father an American. Upon tbe deatH of hts father, he said, he was taken by his mother to Germany, where he was educated The prisoner is 35 years old. tall, athletic and consplcuou:iv well dress ed.

Commission Composed, With Exception of One, of Engineers---High Tribute to Engineering Colleges. London.—With the exception of its treasurer, Clarence Graff, who is a banker, every active member of the American Commission for the relief "I elKians ia an engineer. The work of these men is pointed to as a tribute to the thoroughness of the American engineering colleges. IjOl\ 1 j OI \ three weeks American, Spanish and Belgian diplomatic representa tives struggled with the question of supplying Belgium with food without making much progress beyond secur ing the promises of co-operation from the various governments concerned. \\ hen the jieefl became acute and it was necessary to get food under way at once the American ambassador here called up on Hoover to form the needed working organization, and the result when Hoover called for volun teers was the existing commission with its predominant engineering personnel. Serious Obstacle. The first and most serious obstacle encountered by the commission was the refusal of the English govern ment t oremove its embargo on the export of food, even for such a nec essary work as the succor of the starving Belgians. Early in the di plomatic negotiations, the British government not only promised to al low the export of food supplies to Belgium, but promised the Belgian minister a large cash contribution each month. Evidently becoming alarmed over the condition of the do mestic food supply the cabinet re considered its action and declined to do more than make a lump sum con tribution of a quarter of a million dollars to be used to purchase food for the Belgians in Holland. As one of the members of the commission ex pressed it, this was equivalent to ask ing the Belgian minister to buy food for his starving fellow countrymen at the North Pole, for Holland has not only forbidden the export of foodstuffs but is actually suffering from a short age itself. Bold Step. The commission then determined upon the bold step of buying the nec essary foodstuffs for temporary re lief and counting on diplomatic ef forts and pressure of public opinion to force the British government to raise the embargo. Within twenty four hours of the organization of the commission it had purchased a quarter of a million dollars worth of food sup plies, chartered the necessary ship and while the food was being placed on board quietly informed the cabinet that the Belgian people were starving and asked. "Are you going to allow this food to go to the Belgians or not?" Having carefully advertised the facts of the purchase and the depart ure of the shbiments for Holland there could only b<» one answer from the British government. The consent was given, but with the stipulation attach ed that an equal amount of food must be replaced in the British markets from some foreign source. This with the additional ruling of the English government that all supplies for the starving Belgians must be carried in neutral bottoms, practically means that all relief from them must come from America, so the commission will make every effort to co-ordtnate the various enterprises under way In the Vntted States-for the relief of the Bel gians with Its work here.

A desultory artillery duel continues at some points along the wide front and there has been an occasional infantry attack, but for the last three days the fighting has been mild compared with the fierceness of that which for more than a month preceded it. Best Troops East. The Germans, it is thought, have sent their best troops to the eastern front and even In big guns the allies appear to have the advantage. There are no signs, however, of an offensive on a large scale on the part of the allies, -who doubtless are as badly in need of Vest as their opponents. In fact. It is stated that officers and men who have borne the brunt of the fighting In the trenches are being given a short leave. This together with the cancellation of the order for the removal of shipping from Dunkirk, is token to indicate that the allies consider their positions sate and that they do not contemplate an Immediate forward movement. In Poland. For this reason and because the re sult will have an important bearing on the war. interest is still centered '“ n .battles in Poland. As has been the case heretofore when important events were _• 91,000 MURE MEN AT ONCE FROM CANAOA Seventeen Thousand of These Troops to Sail For England in December. Many Mounted Recruits From West. Ottawa, ont.— Canada will increase immediately to 91,000 the number ot men under arras, Premier Borden an nounced Saturday night Fifty thous and will be mobilized and sent forward as requisitioned by the war office. In December 17,000 will be despatched and by a subsequent enlistment tlie num ber of Canadians under arms will be brought up to 108,000 before the end of th pren?ier Borden’s announcement says 33,000 soldiers already have been sent ♦rmn Canada. Bight thousand more are engaged in home garrison and outpost dutv, and the new mobilization w ill put 50 000 others under training. When the contingent of 17.000 leaves in Decem ber a further enlistment of 17,000 will take place immediately. Number Limited. The number of men who can he train ed is limited by the* necessity of pro viding accommodations during the win ter; of furnishing arms and equipment; and of organizing them by different arms and branches. The ability of tlie British government to receive Canadian forces and give them their final train ing, in view of Great Britain's enormous task in preparing recruits from the Brit ish Isles Tm- service, also is an impor tant factor. , . , The following statement in the official announcement is regarded as especially signiflcant; f Mounted Troops. ‘‘ln the western provinces of Canada large numbers of men anxious to serve as mounted troops aer available. They are excellent rideVs and good shots, ami the government has made special effort to arrange that thetr services be utiliz ed. Recent cable communications with tlie Blrtlsh government lead to the hope that opportunity to make the services of the men effective in some theatre of active operations may he found in the near future.” Inasmuch as cavalrymen on the Eu ropean battle line have been dismount ed to fight In the trenches, this state ment Is taken to indicate the likelihood of mounted Canadians being sent to England. MGS CONNECTED WITH WAN EXHIBITED Interesting Subjects Being Shown at International Book Exposition at Leipsic. Berlin.—An interesting exhibit of things connected with the war is tj be seen at the International Book Ex position at Leipsig. Because of its popularity, this branch was ordered kept open after the dose of the ex position proper. The German govern ment regards it as necessary to the education of the people, and as filling a mission. Foreign Papers. One section is devoted to promi nently displayed copies of foreign pa pers with absurd or deliberately false ; reports concerning Germany. These reports are heavily bordered, and be-1 side each is a translation. German newspapers from cities occupied by the Russians are also displayed, con taining the proclamations and orders of the Russian commanders and blank columns where the Russian censor prohibited the publication of certain article*. A collection of articles from the bat tlegrounds of Belgium. Including five valuable old miniature paintings saved by a German soldier from a burning chateau in Hastiere, near Dlnant. Literature. Literature evoked by tho war Is rep resented by a large collection. It in cludes cartoons from hostile publica tions. letters and postcards from the front—one of ths latter consisting of a section cut from a Belgian aeroplane which had been brought down—and various engravings and paintings. Another auction Is given over to uni forms, prij*< tiles, captured weapons and flags. The collection Includes a knout taken from a Cossack. COLLEST $7,«ej.91.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22. impending, little news is con Ting from eithev Petrograd or Berlin. It is known, however, that the Germans are offering stubborn resistance to the Russian ad vance in East Prussia. General von Hindenberg, commander of the German troops, and Grand Duke Nicholas, commander-in-chief of the Russians, two of the greatest strate gists tlie wav has produced, are maneu vering for positions between the Vis tula and the Warta and a big battle is in progress on the oracow-Czenstochowa line between Russian and Austro-Ger man forces. Repulsed by Russians. An unofficial dispatch coming through Rome says the Russians repulsed tw® attacks before Cracow, but beyond In® Russian official statement, that tn# Russians have had partial success north west of Lodz, there is nothing to in dicate how things are going. In socialist quarters in Copenhagen, which are in touch with the socialists of Berlin, it is said that 7,000.000 men are engaged in the battles on the Russo- German frontiers, three million on the Austro-German side and four million Russians. w The Servian retirement from Valjevo is described from Nish as a strategic movement, but the loss of guns and prisoners is admitted. QUIET OAT IS FRENCH REPORT) Artillery Fire Silences German Batteries. Berlin Reports Austrian Successes. Paris’ (10:41 p. m.)—The following of ficial communication was issued by the war office Saturday night: “The day has been very quiet. There is nothing of interest to report except that in the Woevre district, in tlie Eparges, five German attacks were exe cuted in mass in the space of two hours and stopped abruptly by the fire of our artillery.” ~ Batteries Silenced. Washington.—French forces have cap tured the Heights of Ornes, near Ver dun, and silenced two German ba'te-ries, according to official dispatches Satur day to the French embassy. The dispatch said: ‘‘ln the Argonne we have obtained successful results, having seized a block house and established a new line of trenches.” Austrian Success.

Alarming Proportion of Mortality Among French Officers Paris.—The official order against ex posure to the enemy’s fire, resulting from the alarming proportion of mortal ity among the officers, has caused a great deal of discussion and some re sistance. “Is It vou who bring me reinforce ments?” asked the colonel of a regi ment. “Yes,” replied the officer. “Very good, hut you are an officer?” “Yes, Colonel.” “But where are your stripes?” “They are turned under.
