It shows a rec- .« this country can if given a chance ds of the manu- {facturing intercsts ' of the Unitea ‘States regardless of the outside pro- duction. This has been apparent to many ifor a long time, but it has been equal- {ly well understood that proper op- iPortunity has been denled domestic «the id2e that we must depend European outputs because they o to be better organized at the present time, impress upon the coun- try the need of encouraging such in- dustries, which are kept down becaut ©f a denial of opportunity. The war has brought this to light @s perhaps nothing else could. It has shown that it is not an imaginary evil but an existing fact which is today causing nc end of worry to manufac- turing in many lines. Not only should the exposition show what is being done under present con- ditions as a basis for what should be dono during a normal period, but it . cannot fail to disclose the need of bol- stering up the chemical and dyestuff industry in the United States through protective legislation. That this coun- try has been dependent upon Europe does not mean that it should always e, especially when this country is urging business development, ANOTHER WIRELESS VICTORY. Because the burned Greek steamer ‘Athinai, which was destroyed at sea, belonged to a neutral nation, it is not belleved that its destruction was plan- ned in advance or that it carried fire Bombs which were placed by repre- sentatives of the warring nations. That, however, will doubtless be clear- ©d up by the report of the officers g m their return to this country, & they must be in possession of . faéts which will lead to a correct con- & clusion in that respect. It is of course 2 perfectly plausible that it was one of ~ those instances which is likely to oc- ~ cur on any liner where there is a lack _ of precautions against fire. + . 1t is igpossible, however, to overlook | the important service which was ren- dered by the wireless. Had that vessel mot been equipped in accordance with present day requirements with the * means of quick communication over a long distance there would undoubt- _ edly have been a large loss of Iife. As it was only one life was lost and _ that was needlessly sacrificed since it was solely through foolhardiness in jumping overboard that that man pre- wented his rescue. The rescus of the 469 passengers and crew is another great victory for wireless telegraphy. It emphasizes the - importance of each and every ship be- equipped therewith, for even 5 h the Athinal possessed the ap- paratus for notifying others of its plight, had not those within respond- ing distance been so equipped as to _ receive it, the call would have amount- & to little. The wireless may not come the possibility of fire aboard on the high seas, but through the ces of rescue it furnishes great- assurances for safety in oceanic .

It was the claim in a statement given out from Berlin soon after the vessel was lost that the vessel had struck a mine as no submarines should have been in that territory at that time and from indications the explosfon was that of a mine rather than a torpedo. Thére has since come a report that the Ger- man admiralty is now certain. thiat the Hesperian struck a mine since all the underwater~ boats have reported and nome torpedoed the liner. On the other hand England claimé to have undoubted proof that a Ger- man submarine was actually in the locality where the Hesperian was at- tacked and it maintains that the ves- sel was torpedoed, using to substan- tiate that claim a large plece of a torpedo which was picked up on the deck of the liner after the explosion. England is as strongly convinced that the explosion was of the kind caused by a torpedo as Germany is that it characterized a mine. This conflict of evidence and opin- fon still leaves the question open. That it will not be allowed to end that way is to be hoped for it is important to fix the responsibility wherever it may lie. If England possesses that piece of metal which it is claimed was a portion of the torpedo, and it is possible to determine from a micro- scopical examination whether it was part of a mine or a torpedo it would seem to be a point of vital importance which cannot be cleared up any too soon. It will be facts rather than theories which will settle the matter as it did in the case of the Nebras- kan. BULGARIA’S POSITION. ‘When Bulgaria is asked by the al- les for a declaration of its position and the demand is accompanied by the request that the reply be made at the earliest possible moment it in- dicates that the actions of that coun- try are mot entirely satisfactory, and when that is followed by the calling of the Macedonians to the colors it does not contribute anything to ease the situation. ‘What Bulgaria is going to do in the war has been a question of uncer- tainty for a long time. It is in a po- sition to be of much assistance to either side with which it finally de- cides to cast its lot. Germany has claimed that it would be satisfied if it, remained neutral while the allies have been endeavoring to arrange a Balkan combination where those states would take a stand friendly to them. Because of its location ‘much de- Dpends upon the course which Bulgaria adopts, since it borders on Turkey and it is through its territory that whatever ald Germany and Austria are anxious to send to Turkey must go. Buigarla is thus in a position where it must do one thing or the other. Tt must determine where it is likely to get the best consideration in the carrying out of its national ambition, and while the note of the allies is not an ultimatum, the fact that an early reply s requested indi- cates that it cannot remain on the fence much longer unless by a deter- mination to maintain neutrality it is prepared to adhere strictly thereto. Its action thus far has already aroused much suspicion in the neighboring states of Rumania and Greece. EDITORIAL NOTES. Dr. Dumba acts like the youngstet who makes faces at his teacher’s back after being chastised. These cool September days invite the return of walking as a healthtul and delightful exercise. As many men of prominence” have found out, belng killed by telegraph is not always a sure deatn, Even a slight prospect of a frost is something for the hay fever pa- tients to contemplate with Jjoy. From all accounts John D. Rocke- feller, Jr., thinks the coal flelds a great place to spend a short vacation. It will not be long before the ad- visability of making every pleasant Sunday death prevention day will be seriously considered. The Berlin claim that London is a fortified town indicates that there must be fear over there of the Eng- lish women and children. Even an army of a half million men under the czar presents no greater obstacle to Von Hindenburg than it aid under the grand duke. The man on the corner says: Get- ting food from the same back door two mornings in succession must make a tramp feel like a regular boarder. Give him time and Grand Duke Nicholas may be able to put down the Turks and catch up with his old ar- mies before the Germans surround them. It can be expected that Carranza ‘will oppose the recognition of Obre- gon as strenuously as he did the peace conference. Carranza can see no one ‘but himself.

The blowing up of a mine under the German trench recently made Hooge about the hottest place in the Ypres largest mines the British have exploded, and it made a hole in the earth about 40 across.

Yes, we had a fine show.” He kept on speaking of the guns, and so did the other officers and men, ‘with the depth of feeling expressive of realization that the guns meant life and death and success and failure for them. Singularly enough the British loss in taking the trench was less than in loging it. They got about a thou- sand yards with the first rush. Most- ly they met the Germans coming from their dugouts and it was hand-to- hand when the Germans did not yield. As soon as they had yielded they were started back toward the British rear, for in the maze of traverses where rifles and bombs are lying about loose prisoners may soon renew the fray. The next day a faint rumble like that of a human voice came from a pile of earth and it was found that one of the high explosives had closed the door of a dugout. The occupants were rescued_alive. ‘When an officer and some men came to the edge of the mine-crater they found nearly a hundred Germans in cover from the bombardment. The Britih looked down at the Germans and ‘the Germans looked up at the British, ,As one of the men sald, the surprise was mutual, but the Germans were a little the more surprised of the two. The British had bombs in their ind: All they had to do was to stand back and toss the bombs into the crater, Chucking bombs into a dugout when the occupants will not surrender is one of the commonest proceedings in the course of taking a trench. “We'll give ourselves up” said a German officer starting up the wall of the crater, “You've got us, g As the Germans came up some of the British shook hands with them; and soon they were marching along a road in the midest of a German shellfire, smoking clgarettes given them by their captors. nwhile it was stab and_thrust in other places till Briton or. n was down. Rushing up the traverse the British drove the Germans before them with bombe, gaining more ground. In addi- tion to their own bombs they used the Gormans'! “One German prisoner showed me how to use them.” said a British bomb thrower. “He did it in- stinctively when he saw 1 was fum- bling with it. That was very hépful of him. You had to pull a string o top before you made the throw. They seemed to be first rate bomhg.” Once over the demoralizatidh caused by the crush of the bursting shells from the British artillery concentra- tion in their ears, the Germans out of their Augouts began resisting with bombs, and the British running short, had to fall back traverse by traverse, pursued by the Germans, thus losing some of their gain before more bombs were brought up from the rear. This had to be done under gusts of shrap- nel bullets, for now the German guns were giving tfie British supports all they had to give, and as fast as they could.
