At best, the Grand Army can be seen but a little while longer.

It is with this:thought in mind that the Sons of Veterans have set about to perpetuate the organization made famous by their illustrious forebears.

(New Haven Times-Leader.) Within the last few months there has been remarkable growth in ¢er- tain departments of business, owing | chiefly to war orders. One of the important effects of the :war is the acceleration of interna- ‘onal commerce among the neutral ' countries. The United States is par- ticularly fortunate in being able to supply other neutral countries with jthe products they formerly received | from Europe and which they are un- Jakle now to obtain from European sources This feature of the situation ie far more important than is the enormous export trade of the United States with Europe When the war is over there will Iprobs,bly be a big falling off in ex- ports to Europe and many fear that Europe will flood this country with the products of cheap labor. . To prevent such an influx of goods President Wilson .has appeinted a commission whose job it is to find i out how to stop it. | A protective tariff will do lt—the cnly alternative is reduction of wages {to the European level—In due time free trade will get its bumps. ‘When the tariff question is taken out of politics and tariff rates are :fixed on a scientific basis by experts whose only object is justice to wage- .earner and wage-payer, consumer and ;producer than we shall have indus- ‘tna] prosperity and industrial justice in this country. . If President Wilson is beginning to realize that fact so much the bet- ter for him and the country. The Perils in Gasoline. (Bridgeport Farmer.) Civilization commands many power- ful agents to its service. These ser- vants are usually well behaved, but sometimes they run amuck with terrible consequences, The latest example of a useful com- modity turned wild occurs in Ard- more, Oklahoma, where the gases arising from a tank car of gasoline exploded with tremerdous effect, the fire from the flowing gasoline causing an extensive conflagration. Gasoline becomes an explosive when it is mingled with air in a per- centage of about eight to one. The results at Ardmore could have been produced only by a large quantity of gas. When the mixture is correct, a spark will fire it, on principles fam- iliar to every driver of an automobile. i The moral is of the necessity of care in handling all such materials. Those who use gasoline become familiar with it and neglectful of: precaution. Even its use for cleaning purposes c¢r as a means of destroying vermin Las been attended with fatalities. Every newspaper reports during the year deaths from gasoline explosions, where the material has been vapor- ized in somebody’s dwelling, and the spark unconsciously applied. ‘Wilson’s Open Mind. (Waterbury American.) President Wilson has started a tariff inquiry. He has asked the Commerce Department and the Fed- era] Trale Commission. the commis- ision which overlecks and advises manufacturers to study the probable effects on American commerce of Eu- ropean competition when the war is over and report the facts to him. We are very glad that President ‘Wilson has taken this course. He iis a man so persistently consistent as seldom to be willing to modify any policy to which he has once been committed. Whatever his party's tariff would have been had condi- tions remained normal after it went into effect, there is small question now that it will only prove most dis- astrous to American business when |the war is over. All the countries now at war will start in to get back their trade as rapidly as possible and | will cut prices to the lowest possible figure. As a result there will be a i tremendous dumping of the cheapest made products here in America, the effect of which can only be to check -, business and to close many factories. 3 What is needed are facts as nearly 1as they can be anticipated. These the President proposes to secure. The war has made such conditions that, without repudiating the principles of the Underwood tariff, the President can modify that tariff very substan- tially. He might almost return to the policy of Republican protection and | escape the name of doing so. If he looks at the subject with an open mind, this will be undoubtedly what Ihe win ao. ‘““Another story about the heroine of | , tures. 45,..% WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on lll sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- el that come - to the Herala Office.

Her navy wiped the German menace from the seas. It locked up the vaunted German navy, which, without Great Britain’s par- ticipation, could have battered France into submission in a fortnight It has removed the submarine peril far more effectively than any of the wordy admonitions of Washington- But instead of her first expedition- ary army, which totalled 180,000 men instead of 125,000 expected, she has placed upward of 1,000,000 men in ficld without counting the colonial and Indian troops, and has 2,000,000 more in readiness. The relatively small length of her line in northern France is quoted. But it is curious to hear from German sources of cap- tured Highlanders in Alsace., Rela- tively to all the others, Irish, Cana- dian, Australian, New Zealand and Indian, the proportion of Great Brit- ain in this contribution is overwhelm- ing. But her service, in this instance voluntary, merely begins here. She is the principal guarantor for a credit here of $1,000,000,000. But she has lent already to her allies, Russia, Italy Serbia even Roumania more than $200,000,000. This is twice the credit we are extending, mainly for the benefit of our own commerce with our best customers: What has Great Britain done? What hasn’t she dony? She has conquered every German colony, with the single exception of the Cameroons, now starving iteelf into impotence. By her enlightened sgystem of colonial government the Boers have wiped out the German colony in Southwest Africa, the French Canadians are fighting on the Belgian frontier, the Irish are, char- acteristically, fighting in the thickest of the fray, and the supposed sedi- tious Findoos and Mohammedans are cleaning up all the German political gains in Turkish Asia. And there is more than this. If it were not for the British mas- tery of the seas, where would our own export trade be? Even with an un- certainty on' the ocean, the trade which our shortsighted politicians grudge to the allies because Germany is in no position to receive it, would not exist at all. To leave out of the argument the inviolability of treat- ies and rights of neutral and peaceful nations, all moral issues involved, on plain question of advantage to our present and future interests, can wo the methods of waste so commun: One of the most wasteful things in the world is a forest fire because it not only prevents the use of the wood as it stands, but it takes away in a few momrents what has taken years to produce. This serious as- pect of the destructfulness of fire in woodland should lead every user of fire, whether it be a match to light a pipe or c¢igar, or a campfire, to be extremely cautious to see that no dry leaf is kindled and that no coals are / allowed to smolder.
