If we are to find any profit In Britain's experience in being precip Hated into a war for which it was not prepared, the subject must be stud led at close range' and with a fine consideration for minor details. The world has watched England struggle clumsily toward the goal of helpful co-operation with her trench allies In the western front. After two years Britain has succeeded In recruiting. arming and equipping an army of 2, 000,000 men. Military critics have contended that had England kept these 2,000,000 citizens in some sort of organized shape for war, the pres ent war could not have occurred. But be that as it may, the fact remains that Britain would have known In advance what was needed for the conduct of war and would have pro Tided such necessities as rapd-lire guns and field glasses. Through the aid of American man ufacturers, Britain has succeeded in getting plenty of ordnance. It may not be superior ordnance, but it will serve in a pinch. The machine guns America manufactures are notori ous for fractious capers. French and German machine guns alone are-de pendable. When American ordnance experts manufacture rapid-fire gun; they fail to give satisfaction even in our own military service. As for field glasses, dependence upon Eu' rope is even stronger. Binoculars that are not made in France or Ger many are nothing better than make fehifts. Just now England is hunting high and low for field glasses. The mili tary authorities have exhausted then resources and now patriotic civilian are organizing to meet the situation as best they may. Englishmen who will not donate opera glasses and field glasses are offered fancy prices for them. A fund of $125,000 has been raised for the purchase of sec ond-hand glasses from mercenary civilians. It is the prismatic glasses that are in demand, and those made In Germany are preferred. Before the war broke a full supply for the army might have been secured from Berlin, but now Berlin will not sell. Without binoculars the English troops are sadly handicapped. In these days of fighting from shelter and concealment, strong binoculars are as valuable as strong guns. They are indispensable to the artillery and cavalry as well as to the aerial ob servers. In this oennection it might be in teresting to note that American Ar my supplies do not include a suffi cient number of binoculars to equip what troops we have. It would be interesting, if not distressing, to know just how far short we fall of being able to equip an Army of half a million men properly. Oregonian. FOR COUNTY TREASURER. ONE NEWS BRIEFS.

Ao Error Corrected. Three weeks ago, In reporting on canes in the circuit court this paper was in error in stating that in the case of S. P. Garrigues vs. C. A. Mil ler, C. D. Huston and Stacy Roberts, Mr. Garrigues received Judgment. Only In the first two instances was plaintiff given Judgment and Mr. Roberts' demurrer was overruled and he was given Uenty days in which to answer. The stockholders of Jordan Ware house & Storage Co. are promoting the construction of a wheat elevator on their property at Jordan Siding. A meeting was held at Liberty school- house. Eight Mile, Tuesday afternoon to discuss the proposition, and at this time plans and estimates were gone over with W. H. Cronk of Tum-a- Lum Lumber Co. The construction of the elevator appears to be almost a matter of necessity, owing to the prohibitive price of grain bags, and besides, it is far the better way to handle grain. Gus Wilcox and Alex Lindsay, ranchers at the junction of Rhea and Willow creeks, have been busy as beavers for some time past, cleaning off the rubbish and working down the sediment that was left over their places by the winter floods. Mr. Wilcox reports that he has his work about done, and figures that his dam age has been only nominal; in fact, the abundance of new soil deposited over the alfalfa fields will prove ben eficial. Mr. Lindsay has much work In store yet to put his fields back to their former excellent condition. A good sale of lambs was closed by Jack Hynd of Cecil during the past week. He disposed of about 2000 head at $7.75. The sheep had win tered fine and were In prime condi tion In both flesh and wool and com manded the best price going. Mr Hynd spared neither labor nor feed to bring his sheep through the winter in good shape, and the price he now receives for this bunch of lambs is proof that he has followed the pro per course. A large audience greeted the pu pils of lone High School at the per formance of the operetta, "Wind mills of Holland" at Walker's hall on Saturday evening. The young peo ple had been well drilled in their parts, and the quaint costuming and dancing fitted in with the splendid music in a manner to please.
