THE ALLIES' VIEW
By Albert W. Bryce.
The French estimate of the dis
tance from which the Germans drop
ped shells at Dunkirk is twenty-three
miles. Fire at such a range has long
been a topic of popular interest as a
possibility. It is now a fact.
Traveling sw ifter than a rifle ball, J
a shot fired at such range is nearly
two minutes on its way. At 45 de
grees elevation it rises more than two
miles above the loftiest mountain,
higher than man can mount in a bal
loon and live, before It begins to de
scend. ,
The great guns of warships cannot
be elevated more than 15 degrees.
This one reason why the Allies land
ed armies at the Dardanelles. Plung
ing fire from batteries at closer range
should be more effective against
Turkish forts than the big guns of
the Oueen Elizabeth. No warship
could shell New York from a distance
at sea equalling the range of land artillery.
Messrs. John and Owen Sullivan
have good speaking parts in the play

THE GERMAN VIEW
By Hugo von Kteist
It is accepted that the rules of in
ternational law do not forbid sales
of arms and ammunition. The rights
of German and Austrian governments
are not involved at all.
Germany does not even protest our
right to sell arms and ammunition;
although she has expressed her sur
prise at our enormous sales of ammu
nition to the Allies and our failure at
the same time to insist upon our un-
doubted right to deliver foodstuffs
to the civilians of Germany and Austria-Hungary.
The question, however.
is essentially one of our own self-respect.
WTiat precedents have we in
our own history to guide us
During our late difficulties with
Mexico our government prevented a
German merchantman from deliver
ing arms and ammunition to one of
the Mexican factions. The German
ship was clearly within her rights;
but she yielded to our desire. What
was the foundation for action? Plain
ly our government did not sympathize
with the particular consignee. We
objected to giving aid to Huerta from
any source. We exercised a prefer
ence between two belligerent factions
even to the extent of interfering
with the rights of another power. By
the same rule we cannot now , in
sist upon the right to sell arms to the
Allies, and at the same time escape
the suspicion before the world and
before our own people that we are
exercising a preference in favor of
one and against another friendly
power.

The remains of S. II. Broome, the

Mt. Ararat cemetery for negroes,

tiroome had been at Midway only
about a month, and no one there
scc-ms to know anything about his
past history, except that he had been
a sort of "rolling stone" and wa3
addicted to the drink habit: but dur
ing the short time he spent in Mid
way he established an enviable repu
tation among the negroes, who re
garded him as an unusually skillful
fnr one of his race. Several
days before he died, Broome com
Jmenced drinking heavily, and it is
I probable that his death w as due to
