Every day In the newspapers there crop up incidents dealing with the ef fect of machine-gun fire, and an enor. mous number of these weapons are doing their deadly work today. In the British army the machine gun Is the Maxim; the French use the HotchkLss, or Puteeux; Austrlans employed the Schwarzlose, and Ger mans the Maxim. In all cases ma chine guns are attached to the infan try forces, usually at the proportion of two guns per battalion, or 1000 men. These guns fire rifle cartridges at immense speed by mechanical means, and usually the kick or recoil, of the gun Is used for the purpose of re loading. It is Interesting to note, that I In a test fnrtv-twn rtrlftsh first-class price that the domes-1 8hot8 engaged a machine gun, eacn tic dyestuff prodcers firing at the same target for one mln-j could get for their! ute. the gun discharged 228 rounds and made 69 hits; the rorty-two marksmen discharged 40S rounds and made 62 hlta. "Thousands of carrier pigeons are being used as bearers of dispatcher for the armies at war In Europe," says the December Popular Mechan Ice Magazine, In an Illustrated article "In Germany some 8000 of these aerial messengers have been trained for military service, while French statistics show that the number In that country approaches 15,000 Some are also In service as military photographers. A small, light cam era Is strapped to the breast of a pigeon. As the bird flies the camera operates, making numerous expos ures which record details of the ter ritory beneath. The use of the bird is most common, however, aa a means of communication between fortifica tions under siege or to and from spies In hostile terrltor. "Many Ingenlus methods have been devised for perfecting this form, of transmitting advices such as stamp ing the messages In cipher on the under wethers of the wings. During the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71 when Paris was besieged, the pigeon post was developed by reducing mes sages by means of photography, to microscopic size and transferring them to thin strips of collodion. Ap proximately 16,000 words could be put on a film no larger than a cou ple of postage stamps. Eighteen or 20 of these pellicles, containing words enough to fill three or four large books, were wound tightly and insert ed In a quill attached to a tallfeath er of a pigeon. Jlrst Ascertain The Facts. hard surface At their meeting here Saturday the Cold Springs farmers secured consid erable Information regarding the prob able cost of railroad construction and oi road construction through their section. They will now seek further information through a committee. ' Thla is the right line of action. Facts are wanted, not mere notions. It is an important enterprise that is under consideration and it would be poor policy to adopt any plan with out first ascertaining fully what the cost will be and what conditions will be met with before and after the work is done. But one thing 6hould be very ap parent and It Is that thla county should have a connection of some sort with the open river. It Is Inevitable that boat service will be established tn the Columbia after the Celllo ca nal is opened and to secure the bene fits of that service it is necessary a road of some sort be built to Cold Springs landing. The subject is one in which Cold Springs farmers have the moet direct Interest and they are very properly taking the initiative But the matter is of interest to every farmer In the wheat belt of Umatilla county, or should be and it is of con-j cem to tbe people or renaieion Therefore this is a line of work in which there hhould be cooperation with a view to getting the very best Solution of the problem. Here is a man who haa a soul of his own and he is an American from the boots up. His name The American Is Clarence Day, Jar, Tongue. and he has written a letter to the editor of the New Tork Fun in which he makes his feelings known regarding the pro nunciation of European names. In his letter Mr. Day says: "Our name for Germany is Ger many. Our name for Spain is Spain. We do not care what names the na tives una. Many of us do not even know It Is the same with cities, frme. for instance, and Paris. Let I few staple shades, but It would not build up a permanent and progressive Industry in this coun try. It is an old story that one of the German dyestuffs concerns spent $1, 000.000 in developing a particular fast blue. That money was spent In ex perimentation before a cent was spent in selling the color. We are sure that the manufacturers of this country would be glad to test and try any new colors developed and Invented by Am erican dyestuffs makers, but If these dyestuffs makers want to experiment, let them do lt with their own money, and not with the tariff. Dyestuff making here is not an Infant indus try. One of the largest plants In the country, at Buffalo, has been there for years.

Up to the present war the submarine had not positively scored a single victory. it had cost many lives, but they were of its own crews. If the average ef ficiency already achieved shall carried out In the great fleets of sub marines yet In reserve, the policy of navies may have to be revised. The aeroplans also has proved Its value and necessity, and has already met expectations. At this writing the dirglbles have accomplished practic allv nnthinir.

Each nation wishes to face the foe with its men In the best fighting trim. It is a powerful object lesson in temperance we are getting from the war.

What opportu nlties the dark, foggy days of Xovem oer ana December will afford, may change conditions materially, but thus far the dirglble is more a threat than an execution. The big siege guns are really only enlargements and devel opments of artillery used for years. The motor vehicle Is something t credit with great performances and is used for the first time on a large scale. Every type of motor car seems to find a wide field of usefulness. The city motor bus for moving Infantry rapidly, transfers small bodies of troops as far In an hour as they could march In a day, and delivers the men fresh for action. The armored car has given a good account of Itself for scouting; the touring car for officer's work and dispatches; while for trans porting supplies and for ambulance service, cars similar to this in gen eral use have made good everywhere For hauling heavy guns, the motor Is vatly eauler to manage than horses or mules It Is true this war is being waged In countries noted for their good roads, but the efficiency, capa city, ana rapidity or the motor ve hicle of war has demonstrated abund antly the tremendous advantages ac crulng to the army so equipped over one that Is dependent wholly on anl main for transportation.
