WARSTUFF AND PROFITS.
Everything in the way of war stuff
is going up. Army rifles have advanc-
so 60 per cent. Smokeless powder,
which a year ago was selling at 7t?
cents a pound, is 81 now. Guncotton
has advanced from 50 to 75 cents a
pound. Picric acid, which is used in
making melinite, the powerful explo-
sive used in French shells, and lyd:
_ dlto, used by\ the British, has risen
{tom 40 cents to W70} pound. There
has been a correspondinghrme in car-
bollc acid and heme], and other chem-
icals employed in making ammunition.

a pound since the war began. ol-
eclrolytlc copper has advanced live
cents a pound, lithe copper seven
cents and speller from five cents to

Along with- the rise in nu basic
materials, there has been a still great-
er increase in the price of manufac-

prices for all sorts of war supplies are
sure to continue rising as long as the
conflict lasts, for the demand will be
continually greater. . i
The United States, as the chief pro-
visioner and supply depot of a world
in arms, will therefore deriv'j'e more
and more profit from this export bust

BLESSINGS FROM WAR?
It‘s a strange thing. this war spirit.
Nearly all of us are satisfied in our
hearts that war is wicked and unpro-
fltable. Nationally and individudlly we
are for peace, from deep conviction.
And yet, there are moments when we
cant help thinking of other side of
the question. .
'Here is Italy, for instance. Many
neutral observers are dubious about
the dustice of iltaly’s cause and tho ,
wisdom of her undertaking. But—
