The news that porcelain doll heads are being manufactured in Philadel- phia must be welcomed as the first sign of relief. Heretofore the demand for such heads has been met from abroad, the vast majority of this out- put having been made in Germany. ¥/hile no official statistics are avaii- able. to show the great amount of doll 'heads shipped into this country dur- ing a normal year, the heads being included With statistics for dolls, .in the fiscal year 1915 imports of ‘‘dolls and parts of” into the United States amounted to $1,698,131.

Austria-Hungary is unable to . fa- thom the reason why its Ambassador to this country, Dr. Constantin T.

Evi- dently the powers that be are of the opinion that the United States |is merely fooling when it asks for the recall of this good man, this so-called astute diplomat, this prime blunderer. It remains now for Secretary Lansing and his able body of State Depart- ment officials to firmly implant, in the minds of those Austrian diplomats the idea that Dr. Dumba is not want- ed in this country, that he must go, and go as soon. as possible. The | only way in which he will be granted protection on his journey over the bigh seas is for Austria-Hungary to recall him. Then the United States will ask the Quadruple Entente to give safe vbyage to thé man who has desecrated the name Ambassador, who 1 has violated all the hospitalities of a friendly country, who has abused the prerogative of his office, who has dis- graced himself and brought shame up- on a name that should have came to a more glorious place.in the annals of diplomatic history.' No one has yet bobbed up as the defender of Dumba. No one will. After all his experi- ence he. should have known better. That is the only commentary needed on his plight. The sooner he clears the dust of this country from his sul- lied toga the better for alf concerned. ‘Even -his own people in this country haye turned against the Daoctor. The Czechs and Slovaks, the Bohemians and Croatians have repudiated hisin- terference in their business. There are -a few more diplomats in Wash- ington who might do well to profit by the experience of the Austrian Am- bassador.

It is only about a quarter-century ago that pajamas became fashionable as a night garment in this country. But in that time they seem to have lost their novelty with a large num- ber of us, and like woolen suits for street wear in summer, we have ac- cepted them as a necessary evil, one of life's crasses to be borne patiently, uncomplainingly, in the name of con- vention. Whether of silk or linen, or even of cotton, they preserve one's madesty equally with one’s perspira- tion in the opaque night; they cut sharply into one’s waist line, and not infrequently the heavy knobs and frogs with which the jacket is ce- mented in front leave scarlet indenta- tions on one's chest of a morning merely to mark well the line along which to mark well the line along cut one in two. A splendid garment —for coaling ship! . And that is just the service which the bluejackets of Uncle Sam's navy conceived it best fitted for. One hundred thousands suits of pajamas were provided for these young sav- ages ‘and of these they drew 30,000 but not for night clothing. Those who did not coal ship in them used them as underclothes. Though we do not advocate the latter use, it'may be worth while ta point out that at least it involves no abandonment of one’s body to the straightjacket while unconscious. But-pajamas were meant originally to be concealed neither, with other garments nor with the hospitable shades of night. They were de- signed, in India, for street wear, and the East Indians, it is presumed would as soon ‘think of sleeping in’ them as we would of passing the night in a boiled shirt and spike- tailed coat (this we sometimes do, but ‘under the ciréumstances which suffi- ciently condemn the practice.) The old-fashioned nightshirt serves a renaissance. de- Unwritten Law In New York. (New York World.) A woman known as Mrs. Bellina killed her paramour, James Mon- tiglia, after the man she had lived with as her. husband cast her off be- cause of the intrigue. There was no dispute as to the facts. In the trial of Mrs. Bellina, Jus- tice Kelby used every precaution to, forestall emotional appeals and in- quences. He warned counsel against sensational methods; he had Mrs. Bellina's two babies removed from the court-room; he did not permit her to testify as to events leading up to the crime; instructing the jury up- on its sworn duty, he charged it that ‘“ a woman has no more rights than a man before this bar.” The verdict was simply “Not guil- ty.” There was no word of com- pramise. Manslaughter or a lower- degree murder was not mentioned. Matteawan and the “brain-storm’ were not appealed to. The woman who went armed to Montiglia’s home and then shot him is as if no crime had been committed. Indeed, since the jury is the final authority, the killing was no crime. The verdict cannot be questioned. The defendant cannot again be placed in jeopardy of the law. She is free, as other women are free. Was ever Rome or Paris more tender-hearted toward the ‘“crime passionnel”? In ters is not satisfactory. With world conditions as- they are, it is_incon- ceivable that a man of:Archibald’s in- telligence should accept sealed letters for a belligerent government. without questioning their conterits ‘or at least debatifig the propflety of the comis- sion.—Buffajo News. The Germans are said to be using their publicity propaganda, similar to that used in this country, to discour- age the Russians through false infor- mation. There are times when the pen in mightier than the sword—and ‘far cheaper.—Burlington Free Press. With all parties seemingly engaged in an Alphonse and Gaston competi- tion in politeness: for the privilege of determining - which shall most clearly indicate his desire to keep Uncle Sam amiable, the' internation horizon looks more cheerful.—New York Press. Luther Burbank says the produc- tion of black cotton ‘“is not an ab- solute impossibility by any means.” This would be quite a blow to the dye industry. But Mr. Burbank says he will not undertake the enterprise; which likely settles the matter.—Pitts- burg Dispatch. In view of the present dispute of the great powers over the title to European real estate, there seems to be no lkelihood that any one will arise toquestion Stefansson’s -claim to the territory he has staked.out in the Arctic Circle.—Binghampton Press. . Foreign Minister von Jagow's the judicial annals of our own South was there ever a more perfect ex- ample of the ‘‘unwritten law”? A Step Forward. (Norwich Record.) ‘When the M-1 entered the water at Quincy, Mass., the United States made a marked step toward a proper degree of preparedness, for this is the larg- est submarines ever launched in this country, and is in every way superior to any owned by Uncle Sam. But of course, it is not the confidence the nation places in this single under-wa- ter boat that lent importance to the event, but the proof that the naval authorities are beginning to develop a form of protection for our coasts that has heretofore received altogeth- er too little consideration. ‘While the M-1 is not the largest submarine in existence and possibly not the best yet turned out, it is a vast improve- ment over any flying the American flag and leads the way for others of a more powerful and better type, sev- eral of which are either building or planned. With 50 or 60 of these ves- sels distributed along the Atlantic coast and an equal number in the Pa- cific no nation dare attempt to send troopships here for purposes of in- vasion. Without them the case might be entirely different. And because of the remarkable effectiveness of the submarine this cauntry should lose no time creating a fleet matching any in the world, ship for ship. In the task of strengthening the naval forces of the United States a beginning has been made at the proper point. But the navy must have ample ships ‘for every purpose of warfare and the sub- | marine {s but one arm ‘of the service. 2T WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on all sides of ° timely ‘questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald office. Why We Must Ship Arms- (Bridgeport Telegram-) There is one great and important reason why this nation should con- tinue to ship arms and ammunition to ‘the belligerents in Europe. This reason is well understood in Germany and Austria, although it is never admitted by the anti-ammunition bri- gade in this country who are shriek- ing for an .embargo. Our right to ship arms and ammu- nitior is nat quesiioncd by anyheody. We are asked to stop on ‘“higher moral grounds,” and dictates of ex- pediency. But there is one dictate to which we must listen, and that is the dictate of self-preservation. To for- feit our right to ship arms, by plac- ing an embargo, would likewise for- feit our right to receive arms in case of war between us and some other nation. Dr. Constantin Dumba, re- called ambassador from Austria un- derstood this very thoroughly and apparently did not disagree with the position. In his report to his own government (seized among the Arch- ibald papers,) he puts the case for the United States very succinctly and clearly- Here is what he says: The true ground for the discourag- ing attitude of the president (in re- fusing an ammunition rembargo) as his confident, Mr. House, already in- formed me in January and now has repated, is the fact that the au- thorities in a serious crisis would have to rely on neutral foreign coun- tries for all their war materials. At no price, and in no case, will Mr. Wilson allow this source to dry up. This is simple and direct enough, and it is evident from the way that Dr. Dumba put the report to his gov- ernment, that he realized the force of the argument and the hopelessness of attempting to contravert it. In fact, he specifically advised his gov- ernment that to reopen the question would not only be inadvisable, but distinctly dangerous: After Dr. Dumba has thus set forth the case to his own government isn’t it time for the unofficial German pro- pagandists in this country to ‘*dry up’” on the subject.? Safety First! (New York Sun.) Whether the inspection system by which the public is safeguarded along the line of the new subways was faulty and thus responsible for the accident on Seventh avenue ves- terday will be disclosed by the in- quiries already begun. Hitherto the work on these railroads has proceed- ed with a minimum of inconvenience, and the disturbance of the highways under which they lie has been reduc- ed in a remarkable degree. But the fatal upheaval of yesterday = will arouse the fears of the millions whose daily business takes them over these mines, and the.authorities must rec- ognize the hnecessity of reassuring them. It will not do to say that there have been few accidents, that the record of safety is excellent, that no scheme of engineering can guarantce us against misadventures. The Public Service Commission and the city au- thorities are under obligation to serve something besides generalities to us, not only with regard to the cause of the Seventh avenue cavein but as to the protection afforded at all points on the underground railroad. As Munsterburg Sees Tt. (Bridgeport Standard.) Professor Hugo Munsterburg of Harvard University, made a statement at considerable length in the New York Times of Sunday, which he might have made before with jus- tice to himself and with good effect vron his German fellow-countrymen in the United States But it does not come too late even now and holds many a needed lesson for their con- sideration. He explains that he is a German and expects to continue so. There is no hyphen in his national composition. When he accepted the professorship at Harvard which ' he still holds he did so on the express understanding that he was to remain 2 German. Then as to the conduct of the German-Americans he feels that it is not unnatural that they should entertain a prejudice for the land of their birth, or the land of their fathers and grandfathers and he finds nothing dishonorable in that fact, but Lie finds a more serious state of affairs when, with mass meetings and as- semblies, with resolutions, etc., and “under the whip of the war,” the Teutonic masses began to insist on a forceful influence on the national life of the country. This he condemns as the '!orminK of an alien party on American soil, of a state within the state, of an anti- American army.” He considers the indignation which thus has awakened national and inevitable, and says that it is a question with some ‘“who were born on German soil,” if this move- ment of the German-Americans “may not contradict their oath to the great republic.” This position is entirely honorable to Professor Munsterburg and puts him in a far better light than that in which he has been held by those who have judged him as a German-American using the privileges of his acquired citizenship against the country which he had voluntarily sdopted. His article is a long and somewhat elaborate account of the differences between the Germans and American political systems and he maintains with a ccnsiderable show of fact and of logic, that the action of the German Reichstag is “based on the freest manhood suffrage of any ccuntry in Europe, incomparably fréer than the -vote in England.” the German military, political and social system is the best and strong- est, one cannot read his through and not agree with him that the effectiveness of the German army ‘todn.y, and the effectiveness of the 'McMILLAN’S i Seventeenth Connecticut Volunteers, Without accepting his dictum that showed his Yankee blood ecarly. article | lpmg the spread of obscene literature.

German people in political and domes- tic affairs is the result of discipline teginning in the cradle almost and continued on through every depart- ment of mature life. It will do any intelligent American good to read this article carefully, for it contains the most rational and understandable view that can be' found in a brief statement of the entire German policy Moreover it is worth while to con- sider whether we can build up in this ccuntry anything so effective in its way by any other means. We have acknowledged the need of discipline In our military and naval schools and some shadow of that requirement is n:aintaine@ in our other schools, but the go-as-you-please is the general rule and the limits are so widespread that definite and exact results are not 1o be expected. This does not mean that it is better to sacrifice the free and unrestricted course of the individual will to the altainment of a high degree of na- tional efficiency as Germany does, for the end may not justify the means Put the end, if reached, must be by the use of the indispensable means. Genius vs. Convention, (Bridgeport Farmer.) It will be noted that Edison and Ford, men of vast genius in mechani- ca! and scientific matters, see in the air ship and the submarine, the end of the dreadnought. But the more ; conventional minded men, who com- pose the chiefs of the army and navy, cling, as is to be expected, with ten- acity to the things with which they are familiar. It was always so, and will be so for a long time to come. | The majority of mankind comprises | well meaning, fairly competent men | and women who have learned well cnough how to deal with things as they are. The men who have the imagination to see things as they are to be, who have the industry to stick to their vision until the old thing is replaced with the better one, are a very un- common kind of men. Not many of them are born in any generation. The tendency of the unbiased por- ticn of the population, whose minds | are blank regarding’ armament, or nearly so. will be to follow Edison and | Ford. We may feel sure therefore of = multiplication of submarines and air | ¢hips, when plans for American coast | defense are formulated. Popular opinion will compel it. Anthony Comstock.
