A. P. A. Service.
LONDON, Dec, 21.—That the govern -1
meat must bo permitted to employ un
organized labor In the munition plants
during the war period in order to in
sure an adequate supply of war muni
tions was the declaration of Lloyd
George in an address at a gathering
of the British laber leaders today.
George declared that it has been
disclosed that the munitions needs
cannot be supplied by the work of or
ganized labor. Time had proven this
to the satisfaction of the governmen.
and the only remedy was for the labor
unions to permit the employment ol
unskilled and unorganized ‘labor ,in
the munition factories. He solemnl.x
warned the labor men that unless this
was done there Is every prospect that
the struggle may be greatly prolonged.

jABOUT THE RANGE OF CANNON.
(London Globe.)
Since ibe ««ueeu Elizabeth made its
dramatic entry ,nto the war there has
been a great deal of nonsense written!
about the range of itH guns, which, we
have been told, outrange any othei
weapon in existence and can send their
projectiles twenty-eight miles.
Of course. If flfteen-lnch guns are
in combat with six-Inch, the differ
ence In rang# la considerable, but for
all practical purpose# the twelve-inch!
gun has quite as long a reach as the
flfteen-lnch. Indeed, the United States
government has appended a table to
the fortifications appropriation bill
which goes to show that. If anything,
the advantage In this matter lies with
the smaller weapon According to this
table, the range of the various gun9
when trained to an elevation of 16 de
grees Is as follows: Twelve-Inch 24,
874 yards; lS.6-Inch, 21,668 yards; fir
teen-lnch, 21,192 yards. This shows a
difference of two miles in favor of the*
twelve-inch gun as against the flfteen
lnch. I
Range depends largely upon eleva
tion. but as a rule naval guns are sol
mounted as to be Incapable of firing at
a greater angle than about 20 degrees.
The official American table, however,
credits the British flfteen-lnch guns
with a range of 46,200 yards If elevated
46 degrees, a note being added to the
affect that such an elevation la "not
used.” This represents close upon
twenty-six and one-half miles, but
Iring at such a distance would hardly
te effective because of the large angle
jf the fall of the shot and the conse
quently small "danger space."
ANGLING, ANCIENT
AND MODERN
(Srlbner's Magazine.)
-Most of the fish that abound In thei
.sea of Galilee nowadays, as they did
.',000 years ago, are a species of;
cream and chub. A canning factory,
1 am told. Is now In process of eree
-lon on the shore not far from Cap-j
ernaum! These fish were formerly!
taken almost wholly in nets, though
fish hooks seem to have been known
and used more or less throughout the
cast from very early times. Wilkin
son tells us that angling was a favor
ite pursuit of the wealthy in Egypt,
is well as of the poor who could not
afford a net. Something like our
modern weirs were also in wngu*, feat
n uennesaret they were expressly i
forbidden by law In Bible times, ny I
fishing was unknown until u com
paratively recent period.
