England here after must defend herself from the Rhino, and not from the Thames. Thanks to the present perfection of long range artillery, not to mention its future possibilities, as well as aerial warfare, England faces the ne cessity of an immediate revision of her whole system of national defense. This is tho declaration of General Hirschuuer, one of the most distin guished military chiefs thnt the French army produced during the war, and now member of the French sennto, 1 From now on the English navy, however powerful it may be, will no longor be sufficient to maintain Eng land's "proud Isolation," declares General Hiraehnuer, Up until 1914, the lines of defense for London were situated at 15 to 20 kllometors outsido, the capital. During tho war England found -it necessary to establish Its defenses op tho Continent. Now, according to General Hlrschajier, England's sole hope of dofending Its capital Is to establish lines of defense either on tho Mouse or on tho Rhino, General Hirschuuer . points out that nt the present time England's entire plans of national defense are stilt based on the Imperial decree of 188S, The keynote of this decree, nnd as .a consequence, of England's defense, is found In the following clnitBo; "The Ifefonso of the Thames pre sents a great importance, because large military establishments end nrsennls are situated on both sides of the rtver, and, above ail, because every landing' on British soil will have for its object the capture of London." t Hot Water Bottles of Cork's Lord Day of Fast; Sinn Feiners Attacked LONDON, Hept. 20.

CORN MARKET GOES UNDER DOLLAR MARK Increased Offerings and Continued Warm Weather To Mature Huge Crop Thought Responsible, (Br United Fna to Th. Bead Boltetta) KANSAS CITY, Sept. 20. For the first time since 1917, corn sold be low 1 1 a' bushel here, when corn dropped to S9 cents. Increased country offerings and continued warm weather, helping to mature the big crop before the frost, are given as reasons for the decline.' ARTEERY As a consequence, the British plan for home defense provided that the moment mobilization was ordered the permanent army should at once take up a position along the coast of the channel and the North sea for the purpose of "covering London." Then, as soon as the troops of defense were mobilized, the permanent army was to become an army of meneuver. In addition, London was defended by rapid-fire guns that were supposed to be sufficient to prevent a landing of enemy troops; tines ot torpedoes werep laced to prevent the approach of troop ships; long range coast guns were to ward off the enemy ships; still In advance of all this passive de fense, gunboats; torpedo boats and coast guards were to be engaged in active defense, while farther In ad vance the British fleet was supposed to smash the enemy fleet before It got within smelling distance. Now, according to General Hir schauer, all of this has been rendered out of date and useless by the devel opment of long range guns and aer ial fighting. England's only hope of defending her capital and herself must hereafter be made from the Mouse or the Rhine. "lit 191 S," mys General Hlr sclmuer,' who Is one of the world's greatest experts on artillery, "we dis covered the gun with 120 kilometers range Shortly this range was ex tended to 150 kilometers. Soon we wilt be at tO kilometers, and the lim it even then will not have been reached. "It Is just 150 kilometers from Calais or Boulogne to Loudon, Fe camp, Dieppe, Abbeville, Aire and Furnes 'are only 200 kilometers awn?,' Sustain Life Mayor on 39 th and capturing 40, Is regarded hero as the ft rat step Is a new campaign to smash the "Irish republican" army.
