steady progress in sweeping the enemy
back from the Belgian seaboard,
"it is only when one sees the tre-
mendous effect of artillery long-
range tire that One appreciates the
greatness of the menace to Britain in
the German occupation of the coast
and of the further advance toward the
straits of Dover. Recently an im-
portant French town was heavily shell-
ed from a range, said by our artillery
expert to be 26 miles. A new high vel-
ocity gun brought into use by the Ger-
mans recently is said to have effective
range at 52,000 yards. A battery of
these guns of either of these calibres
and ranges mounted on the French
coast near Calais would have absolutely
stopped the navigation of the Straits
of Dover and rendered the Kentish
country untenable by the civil pop-
ulation. The amazing improvement
of artillery makes it more than neces-
sary that Germany shalt not he Britain's
neighbor across the straits."

Not Square
Many people are very ready to send
notices to the newspaper of connipg

is sent to said newspaper after the
event, .11 looks like a one-sided bar-
gain in which the press gets the worst
of it. tow do you do in•such matters..
Some folk appear to think it does not
cost a cent to run a newspaper.
