As yet there has been Ro disgruntled souna from this quarier; but, if Germany were to get command of the seas and stop the traffic going to Great Britain and direct the same allotment into Germany, there would be a reversal of feeling.

And after having done this the goods that are lawful can be sent out of the country into any inarket that is open to buy them. This, notwithstanding the per- all depends upon verted logic of Dr, Dumba, or any of the other numercus gentlemen whose hecarts are achking and breaking be- cause others are getting what they would like to have themselves: But withal there is not so much evil as there is good in the plan of Dr. Dumba to withdraw the Austro- Hungarians from factories in this country. Good, for this reason: .It shows the mauufacturers where they stand. It also shows the officials of the United States that if we ever went to war with any nation we would have to be extremely careful of the people of that pation working in factories making munitions of war here. They would probably, and could very easily, put up inferior gacds for our soldiers. Men having allegiance to other coun- tries would stop at no means to ac- complish their e¢nds, the downfall of America. While it is unpleasant to think of these. things, still it is far know where the knife is A stab in the back can be better to hidden, TDumba, This is the time to get at the bottom of things.

The ;fme time trying to square with the American government has how shifted the blame to Viennd, claiming his in- structed him to foment labor in this country.

The Month of Oyster. (Bridgeport Twrlegram.) It is easy to remember that we may eat oysters in the months hav. ing an “R” in this spelling. May, ‘June, July and August prohibited the delicious bivalves, but September brings them back again. The oysters are now ready, ond like the Walrus and the Carpenter, we may fall to. Oysters raised in Connecticut are worth over $1,000,000 a year (though vou'd never believe that, when the ter men are coming up for their X assessments.) Maryland, Virginia New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island are the states viewing with Connecticut in the production of this important adjunct to the nation’s food supplies. In the ranks with Arnold Winkle- reid, Horatius (at the bridge) Gover- ror Slaton of Georgia, and other heroes, ancient and modern, we must put the man who first ate an oyster. He wag much more courageous than the man who exploded the theory that {omatoes were not poisonous, be- cause the tomato looks delicious and inviting, and ready to be eaten, while the oyster does not. G None the 'less, despite Boston's preference for codfish, the oyster is the most valuable product of the world's fisheries. The approximate value of the world's oyster crop is given as $20,000,000, representing over 30,000,000 bushels, or ten billlon oysters. There are fully 150,000 per- scons engaged in the oyster industry. In the United States there are 56,000 oystermen, who man 4,000 steamers and 23,000 sailing vessels or other boats. The Waist-Line Is Safe! The waist-line is safe for this year. It is to stay where the waist-line ought to be. The thousands of anxious women uncertain whether to wear their belts under their shoulder blades or below the hip-line are hereby notified. Official dispatches from the front, cabled to Selwyn & Company under Paris date-line signed by no less an authority than Belle Armstrong Whit- ney of the Whitney Fashion Show declare the normal waist-line safe. This will be good news to all women who lay claim to a ‘“figger.” “The new silhoutte,” cables Mrs. Whitney, “shcws smooth bodices and the normal waist-line, slender hip effects, and all skirts full flared at the bottom.’ And she quotes the full array of August openings -of the big style houses to prove it. Diplomats - and Their Clothes. (Men's War.) © A poorly-dressed, untidy diplomat is an impossibility, for somehow the suave, cool, courteous air dosen't seem to go with hot, wrinkled and creased unseasonable clothes. Mr., Fryan is really a“big king man. Think that a wonderful difference the right clothes on such a man might have made in the minds of others and how his own feelings might have teen soothed thereby- Compare him to his predecessor, Mr. Knox one of the smartest-dressed men who ever served in a presidential cabinet and a diplomat in every sense of the word, or to his sucessor, Mr. Lansing. who is known as the best-dressed man among the higher government officials, or to men who hold similar positions in the governments of other countries, and vou will find a re- markable contrast. : | WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- that come to the Herald Office. . Cuba Forgets, (Boston Journal.) . We can't very well rebuke the Cubans for their lack of sentiment in failing to give proper honor and lrominence to the battleship Maine relics that we presented to them as a_Souvenir of their national birth. We haven't any too much sentiment ourselves, and, besides, we have learned that excessive sentiment is the cause of a good deal of trouble In those southern latitudes, past and Dresent. The Cubans left the Maine's after- tarret and guns on a junk pile be- cause they didn't feel like spending money for a monument. Money, too, Was the reason why they considered building the Johnson-Willard arcna On the site selected for the Maine heroes’ monument. Ana money, a couple of hundred dollars of it, was the reason why the old American sloop-of-war Portsmouth was burned for her metal a few days ago. Maybe, the Cubans are growing businesslike, Maybe they don’'t feel like setting up monuments to the past. Maybe they think thaf in freeing them the United States did its plain duty— 4 view generally held publicly. and certainly officially in this country. There’s something fine about senti- 1aent; but it can't be forced. Forced sentiment is the worst kind of hypo- crisy, Any Maine relics will be welcomed ir the United States, however, for our sentiment always can be depended upon to reach backward at least seventeen years. We still honor the Waine and her dead, and if the Cuban BGvernment cares to relinquish its not very popular treasure, the turret will be thankfully recelved at any Ameri- can port. A Press Without a Country. (New York Times.) Bombinating in a vacuum, the Ger- man-American newspapers must now devour themselves as the only way of escape from the pain and humiliation of hopeless wrong-headedness. When the president’s last Lusitania note went to Germany the Illinois Staats- Zeltung declared that “Germany can never submit to the tone of it and will, as much as we are sorry for it, find no other answer to it but the breaking off of diplomatic relations.” It was apparent that our government “has a secret azreement with Eng- land to intentionally provoke Ger- The Cincinnati Freie Presse declared that the president had set up “an almost monstrous thesis. The German correspondent of Baltimore declared that ‘‘one thing seems clear, Germany will rot and cannot give up her submarine warfare.” And almost without excepticn the ' newspapers printed in New York in the German language assailed the president’s po- sition, and some went so far as to de- fend the murder of non-combatants by Germans submarines. Now the German government does the very thing these newspapers said it could not do. It yields to our pro- tests, it heeds our demands, it prom- ises that the slaughter of peaceful passengers shall cease. It leaves the German-American press in a pitiful plight. Less American than the Am- ericans, condemning the aministra- tion policies to which the loyal Am- erfcan people gave united support im- pervious to the sentiments that moved every American bosom, yet more German than the Germans, more imperalist than the emperor, the German-American newspapers are now left without a country. | “Marse Henry” Speaks. Henry Watterson, the venerable editor of the Louisville Courier-Jour- | nal in an editorial issues a warning to President Wilson against revisinz the shipping bill defeated by the last Congress, Colonel Watterson claims Bryan's advocacy of gavernment owned railroads defeated him in 1908. He says:—"“No one can beat Wood- row Wilson in 1916 except Woodrow Wilson himself.’ Such a measure as the shipping bill, says the editorial, put forward by the administration would be a serious mistake. It would =plit the Demo- cratic party wide open and go far to make the re-election even of Woodrow Wilsan problematical. Nay more than this and worse than tl it would inevitably breed ~andal, dragged first through the corridors of the Treasury Department, until finally it might reach to the very | door of the.

It is the threatened compe- tition of the government that dis- courages the private investment of capital in shipping. The sooner the President allays this apprehension by the announcement that there is no | purpose at Washington to embark upon such a hair-brained project the sooner will legitimate shipping in- terests begin to hearten and organize for themselves.” Colonel Watterson refers to Secre- tary McAdoo as ‘‘yet an experiment,” declares the shipping bill “‘seems to be his bantling,” and adds: “Drop it, Mr. President. drop it!

Surely dicate to get the chance to rob an empty till and still further to tax a patriotic people, who have to keep | skin and bone together and look be- i sides after the nation's defense and welfare?" Against Unwize Expenditures. (Norwich Bulletin.) Following close upcn the declara- through administration chan- nels that greater rqcognition would be paid to the curtailment of the “pork barrel” appropriations in or- der to conserve the finances of the country and place the expenditures where they are more needed, there | comes a report from the engineers of the government carrying the recogni- tion that the improvements of the Arkansas and Missouri rivers be abandoned. Such a recommendations comes as the result of the provision which was placed in the last rivers and harbors bill requiring a reexamination of the ten leading waterway projects by the army engineers for the purpose of determining whether they are good investments. There was a paring of the appropriations last year after a hard fight and the engineers were given supervision of the expenditures voted, but they have apparently found that there is further opportunity for eliminating waste even though mil- lions have already been expended up- on certain work. That such suggestions even will call for strenuous opposition can be ex- pected, but they nevertheless must zive congress, when it next assem- bles, something to think about when it reaches the consideration of the question of retrenchment. If the recommendations mean the taking of | politics and patronage aut of such matters they must be looked upon with common sense and receive prop- er attention and it must be realized that it is time that such charaeterized the spending of the nation's money. tion An Expert On Russia. (George Kennan in the Outlook.) I do not care to make a prediction with regard to the future of the Rus- sian army, but I have seen it fight, at the end of a long campaign, when it had not been cheered or encour- aged by a single victo! and my con- viction is that it can stand up under reverses as long, and rally from de- feat as quickly as any army that Prussifl’ ever put into the field. If I were a friend of Von Hinden- burg, Mackensen and the kaiser I think I should venture to give them this warning: “Don't count on smashing the Rus- sian army so that it cannot recover. Like the Libyan wrestler, it draws strength from the ground every time it is thrown. You are now doing your level best, but the Russian army will not reach its maximum efficiency until next summer. Then you, with your waning strength, will have to fight harder than you have yet fought for the -territory that you now hold.” Gems and Preclous Stones in 1914, The total value of thé output of precious und semiprecious stones in the Uniteqd Stutcs in 1914 is reported by D. B, Sterrct, of the United States Geological furvey, at $124,651, The demand for wems at the Panama-Pa- cific exposition resulte in an increased preduction of turquoise and tur- queise matrix, the production in 1914 being §13,370, us compared with $8,- 075 in 1913. These gems have long been popular in the tourist trade in the West. No discoveries of unusually fine deposits of gem minerals were made in 1914, but a few pProspects for the less vaiuable gems were found. Among these were pink beryl in the quarry of the Maine Feldspar Co., on Mount Apatite, near Auburn, Me., amazon stone, 2 variety of feldspar, uear Lone Fine, Cal., White Plains, N. Y, and on the coast of Maine; sunstone in tlie Apache Indian reser- vation of Arizano; and turquoise deposits in Lander and Eurcka coun- ties, Nev. Banana Flour. Not every one knows that flour can be made from bananas; but from time immemorial the natives of trop- ical where the banana grows—Jamaica, the Canary Islands, the Malay archipelazo and Africa— have made flour from the fruit, ac- cording to “The Youth's Companion.” And large quantities of banana flour have quite recently been shipped from this country to England and France. Stanley found the natives of Africa maling it by drying bananas over | wooden gratings and grinding them to pawder He found the flour whole- some and easily digested Once when attacked by dysentery, he took a thin gruel made from it for a day, | during which he abstained from other food, and obtained prompt relief. The South American Indians malke | a flour or paste from Bananas, and so the banana in that part of the world, as in Africa and the East In- dies, takes the place of cereals. The flour can be easily carried about, and, as needed, made intc cakes and fried or mixed with water and drunk. The banana, €o long as its skin is | unbroken, is microbe proof, but it | should not be eaten until it has left | ts green color. If the skin is intact, it may even be eaten after it turned black Banana flour contains one-third as ch protein matter, one-fourth as much “fat and a little more starch than wheat flour. It is considerably richer in mineral matter. As to the food acreage of this edible fruit, the banana products 240,000 pounds of food an acre, as compared with 8,000 pounds of pota- | toes and 1,200 pounds of wheat. countries has | m The Pro-American Vote Will Decide.

McMILLAN 199-201-203 MAIN ST¥ of the population are of German or Austrian blood, and that they have 5,000,000 votes which it is promised will cut considerable figure at the next presidental election, There are signs that the country ‘s getting rather tired of this sort of statements. There has been too much of this insulting nonsense from the more violent of the German, pro- gandists, and probably the best way for the “Friends of Peace” to insure the re-election of President Wilson and the continuance of his policy with respect to the war, I8 to continue these threats, There are a good many Germans in this country, and they have prospered and if they own fifty-four per cent, of the real estate, which is doubtful, it iz in good hands. But it does not en- title them to dictate the national pol- icy. Neither would the fact that there are 25,000,000 of them, if it were true nor the fact that they have 5,000,000 votes, if thev have that many, al. though possibly the latter consideras tion would help, $ But assuming that all these state- ments are true. It dosen't follow that there are 5,000,000 German-Americans who would follow the “Friends of Peace” or any other inflammatory leader of organization. More than & majority of the German-Americans are Pro-Americans. If the war becomes a major issue at the next presidential . election, which there i reason to doubt, there may be a pro-German ticket, and there may be a #fro-Ally ticket, but one thing is certain.
