ORE.. NOV. 20, 1914 David Starr Jordan,' chancellor of Leland Stacdford University plaoes the responsibility for the European war in a large measure upon the mak ers of arms In tba nations involved. Tbat Mr. Jordan's aonolnsions are not far from right, and the trend of opioion is taking root in the minis of all people who read, is borne ont by present aotivity on the part of maun faoturers of arms and war munitions, A dispatoh from The Hague under date of Nor. 18 Informs the world that the oapital stook of the Ernpp company, which manufactures Ger many's gnna and war equipment is to be immediately increased lrom 70, 000,000 marke to 860,000,000 marks. This ia in oonformlty with a proposal made by the direotors of the company, Whioh was submitted to a meetingjbeld at Essen on November 13. This In crease ia justified, it was slid, by the demands of war and by earlier en largements of the works, whioh looked np considerable oapital. The new stook issne, as usual, will be taken by tbe Erupp family. The directors also proposed a divdend of IS per oent. as against 11 per cent declared last'year. This lopping off of 3 par cent in divi dends resulted no doubt from tbe gen erous(I) donation of 8,000,000 marks toward tbe relief of the families of soldier employes, 2,000,000 to tbe em ployes' furlough fund and 1,000,000 tn Ibe pension fundi The situation is just as Jordan says it Is, and this ac tion on the part of tbe Erupp company proves it, Jordan would have our own country take out insurance against war by taking out of tbe bands of pri vate companies who make money from arms the business of making arms. Iu other words let the government make the arms and make tbe war, it necessary, thereby divorcing profes sional war diplomats and international ugltntori from the war busness. Io Jordan's words: "If we must go ahead fighting and making tools to fight, then let the government make Ibe tools, so private gun octopuses won't need to employ diplomatic agenta to make war sentiment to sell tbeir goods, and tbia applies to every nation, Germany, England France, Russia. Tbeir arms makers are tbe financial backers of tbe war patty in enob nation." Standardization of the Parts and What That Means, : Ask any engineer what feature of modern motorcar construction repre sents tbe greatest Improvement and advancement In design, and be will say not the automatic engine starter, the six cylinder engine, but standardiza tion. Tbat may be a word which means but little to the car owner, but he un consciously derives untold benefit from It every day that he runs bis automo bile. By reason of It lie hn only to ask for a certain kind of spark plug and be knows it will fit the cylinder. be has only a dozen or so different sizes of tires from which to select tbe one adapted to bis car, and even the carburetor may be replaced by one of a different make without any change whatsoever In the bolt boles or attach ing flange. A vital part of tbe motor or running gear may be replnced by a blacksmith or local machine shop from the ordi nary slzea of stock carried on hand, and the screw thread slzea as now used conform to a certain standard that renders replacements exceedingly simple. Grease cups, nuts or bolts that may have been lost may be replaced at tbe nearest supply store or garage, for no longer does each manufacturer work only to his own specifications on these niluur parts H.

Count Zeppelin, tbe Inventor of the dirigible balloon, la not a stranger to tbe United States, for be saw service wltb the Union army in the war be tween the states. In bis recently pub lished reminiscences be tells this amus ing story of General Butterfteld, who wag chief of staff in tbe Army of the Potomac: In planning operations General Hut- tertleld attached special significance to knowledge of the probable weather conditions, and for this reason be be came especially fond of an excellent aneroid barometer tbat I bad obtained from London and paid a lot of money for. .:'. Be saw this Instrument In my tent borrowed It from me, then found It Im possible to give It up. Be kept It a longer time each time be borrowed tt until at last be failed to return It at all. When 1 was about to leave the army I asked him again and again to return, it, and i finally became so pressing that be said he would go to his tent and fetch it out After waiting outside a long time I followed blm into tbe tent. It was empty. Wltb my barometer in his hand be bad crawled under tbe canvaa and disappeared. - An exohang who is a friend of tbe home, aava of blm: "The American borsa ia one of the Drat to answer the bogle oall of tbe European war. Rep resentatives of many foreign govern ments are in the country pur chasing horses for tbe various armies of tbe warring nationa and praotlo ally every state in the Union ia con ti looting cavalry material to tbe bel ligerent faotioua.
