Some sensational stories have been published concerning the activity Which the representatives of the cen- tral powers have been engaged in in this country and in view of the case of Dr. Dumba, who was urging the crippling of American industries it is not so difficult to believe them. - The passport frauds, the long series of cases where bombs have been placed on ‘vessels leaving ports of this country for the purpose of destroying the steamers and their cargoes, with good prospects that human life would also be lost, and the suspicious fires which have occurred in large manu- facturing plants of the country which are ergaged in making munitions of war, which can be purchased by any of the belligerents who are able to take them away cause the confession of an Austrian consul, Dr. Joseph Gor- icar to be viewed in a different light than it might otherwise have been. He resigned his commission and told his story because he refused, as he says, to_become a common s How much information the govern- ment authorities may have concern- Ing the perniclous activity which is charged against the central powers is not revealed, but it is certain that it cannot be any too well informed.

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Ey the death of Dr. Booker T. Wash- ington a tremendous 10ss has been suf- fered, not only by the Negro race, but by the entire country, for whils his whole life's work has been devoted to the uplift of his people, every step which he has taken in their behalf has worked to the benefit of the nation. His work has been entirely unselfish and bent in the direction Where it would accomplish the most good and all the more prominently does it stand out because of the great obstacles which he had to evercome. Recognizing what had been accom- plished in his own case, through proper influences, born as he was in slavery, he sought to render like service to the thousands whose need was apparent and whose condition required just such help as he subsequently gave. Many there are who recognize just as he did that if the Negroes are going to be lifted out of their deplorable state and glven a start in the right direc- tion they must be educated and aided in ghaking off their ways of living and Jrresponsibility due to ignorance, but lew there are who, having reached such a conclusion, proceed to place themselves second and first start to set their people right industrially and so- cially. For his work Dr. Washington won the respect and admiration of the country. His noble efforts won large rewards for him in the advancement of the Negroes of the south, but he built not for the present, but for the future and his accomplishments are going to stand out all the more plain- 1y in the years to come. He has es- tablished a course and agvanced ideas which others must now continue. His ideals will not die with him. CONGESTER, PORTS. When reference is.made to congest- ed conditions on transportation lines, Whether they are located on land or water, the Teagon for it can to a large extent be found in the character of the legislation which has been enacted. The long period of investigation and depression has resuited in a halting of the work of adding to the equip- _ ment of the railroads and it is not surprising, therefors, that they are not able to meet the requirements of & sudden increase in business, which nevertheless demands the best factli- 3 at an instant’s.notice. “hora is roported a large acoumula- 2 of export freight at the ports of ~ 5 country which in the case of New Tork, has not been equalled ‘in the bistory of tio port.

At couragement held out to the . of this country to meet the A large American has been demanded for stead of passing laws tract capital. laws have which not only ‘would at- s discourage ture, but which have actually driven|. American steamship lines ‘out of bus- iness. 2 The congestion is therefore only what might have been expected. It is the logical result of & policy of Te- straint. Transportation lines cannot provide facilities without means or without incentive and especially when national legislation and policy is atmed at tearing down instead of building up. The American merchant marine would ot 'be in its present condition if there had been a genuine effort made to in- crease it. SHEEP RAISING. Not in one, but in’all sections of New England, has the sheep industry dwindled until it bears little or no re- semblance to its condition a half cen- tury ago. And yet it is recognized at the same time that there is no bet- ter_section of the country for engaging in this enterprise. Back to the farm movement started a few years ago has eliminated the abandoned farms and greater interest, as well as profit, is the resuit. That this can be done in other lnes makes it all the more certain that it can be applied to sheep raising if there is the proper determination. Having dwindled frem 310,000 sheep in 1860 to 20,265 last April, the asso- ciation of sheep breeders of New Hampshire not only see the need of immediate stimulation but they recog- nize that unless something is dome soon it will net be long before sheep will be a rare sight in that state. For the purpose of reviving the sheep bus- iness the association has arranged for a campaign of education in every county in the state, It will be in the nature of an experiment and if results are obtained it will be carried on more elaborately the yeaw following. At the same time vigorous steps will be taken to secure the enforcement of the laws against sheep killing dogs for the pur- pose of minimizing this important menace to the industry. The troubles of the sheep ralser are the same throughout New England and what is advisable for one state to do for the bolstering up of this business is applicable to another. Connectieut sheep and wool are always in demand and it is to be regretted that a greater effort is not made to meet it. THE 2ZEALANDIA CASE. From the subsequent reports which have been received concerning the search to which the captain of the American ship Zealandia was forced to submit at the hands of a boarding party from the British cruiser Isis in the harbor of Progreso, Mexico, the ‘whole question a# to whether the Brit- ish officer was justified or whether the rights of the American ship were vio- lated depends entirely upon the loca- tion of the vessel at the time. It should be a matter very easily determined as to whether the Zea- landia was within the three mile limit or not. The fact that the ship’s papers were in the hands of the American consul at that port would seém to in- dicate that, while advice from the port authorities to the effect that the Zea- landia was at the regular discharging place further confirms it, That the British may have been sus- piclous of the vessel, its erew or the busineds it was engaged in dld not Eive them the right to totally ignore the rights of a ship flylng the Amer- fean flag. Had it been encountered on the high sea nothing could have been sald against such a procedure and it is only by contending that it was be- yond the territorial limits of the Mex- lean port that its actions can be jus- tifled. This from such evidgnce as has been furnished this government it seems impossible for it to do. The whole matter surrounds a simple ques- tion of fact and not being able to show under the rules of the sea that it had a right to do what it did, an early apology should be demanded.

Meat products take almost no part in Bulgaria’s foreign trade, aithough large mumbers of cattle and sheep have been raised during recent years and considerable attention given to the improvement of the native breeds. ‘Wheat and Indian corn are the two principal items on -Bulgaria’s expo: list. They constitute about one-hal of ‘her total foreign sales. Oats, rye and barley are also raised upon the little kingdom's farms for foreign con- sumption. These exports of cereals, together with eggs, attar of _roses, sheep’ wool, and eilk- worm cocoons make up more than seventy-five per cent of the total ex- ports. The raising of tobacco has come to be an important source of the Bulgarian farmer's revenue, while, from Austria-Hungary, the sugar beet hag fo its way into the central Balkan kingdom, and the manufacture of beet sugar has increased rapidly. “Almost the whole of Bulgaria toreign trade during normal times has been with those countries with whom she is now fighting as an Ally—with Austria-Hungary, Turkey —and Ger- many. For some strange reason, Bel- slum was among Bulgaria's best cus- tomers. With the exdeption of this last-named nation, the choice of al- les made by the Bulgarians is a choice coninciding with the interest of her foreign trade in the years be- fore the war. Bulgarian corn, to- bacco, hides, forest products ~and cocoons found their best markets among the German and Turkish buy: ers in days before the war. Of course, Buigaria’s famed product, at- tar of roses, was largely taken by the French, and enjoyed its own market among the buyers of all the nations of the West. Just such a luxury pro- duct, however, would be the first to suffer by reason of the world war, and Bulgaria’s trade in the expensive es- sence of her wonderful rose valleys was bound to fall off greatly. “Most every Bulgarian is either a farmer or a politician. As a politi- cian, he writes, officers in the army, and ‘takes up the various professions. Political Bulgaria lives in the little na- tion's one pretentious city, Sofia, while everywhere else througlout the country stretch the little peasant holdings.

Those who credit the talk about bankruptcy for England as a result of the war drain have not reckoned the resources of that country.

On the face of it, Great Britain is still a long way from bankruptcy. But she and all the others are on the way.

A question that has puzzled and continues to perplex a good many veteran observers is why the voters remain so indifferent to State and municipal expenditures and the ac- companying taxation made necessary by extravagance _and ill-advised spending of public funds. Connecti- cut has within a few years passed from a State out of debt to one handicapped with.a debt of $12,000,000 or more.

In: the recent election in the Bay State there were three constitutional amend- ments—equal euffrage and two very im) t ones relating to taxation reform and land purchase by public authorities in cities in order to relieve congestion. Practically all who voted for candidates also voted on the suff- rage question. but more than 300,- 000 of them failed to pay any atten- tion to the other even more important amendments. Incidentally it may be noted these amendments were ap- proved, but why did the great mass of the voters evade an expression of opinion?—Bristel Press. The Balkan Kings.

Lot SxPiaining Ferdinand's recent en ows . a story related by a Mplm Tecently sta- tioned at Paris. ‘According to this, Emperor Willlam, even before the ‘European war began, foresaw possible eventualities in the Balkans, and per- sonallp addressed himself to the three kings of Bulgaria, Greece and Ru- mania. His overture to each was most tactful. He did not ask them to range thelr countrles on the side of Ger many. All he asked was the promise from each that in the event of a Euro- pean conflict, they would not make war against Germany. This seemed fair to the three kings, and they are £ald to have given their promise to it, on the theory that it did not com- mit them to war, but to keep out of war. But the kaiser is sald to have viewed it from another standpoint, and to have felt quite serene since then at the efforts of the Quadruple Allies o have the Balkan states range themselves solidly against Germany. However. the situation has much changed ‘since. these alleged promises. The king of Rumania has died and been succeeded by another. The king 2 Greece has found a new condition presented, not contemplated at the time of < the so-called promise—that Greece's ally, Serbia, was attacked by Germany’s aily, Ausiria. This, accord- ing to the story of the diplomatist, has left King Ferdinand as the only cne to carry out the promise, King Ferdinand has an interesting tamily. The Crown Prince, Boris, has shown himself a good soldier. He re- celved ‘the surrender of Cavalla from the Turks. Many Bulgarian pictures w Ferdinand and Boris standing on the ruined walls of Cavalla. This is now an added sting for Bulgaria, as Cavalla has passed into the hands of Greece. The two young _princesses, Eudoxie and Nadejda, nursed the wounded during the last war. Many Americans have autograph letfers from these young princesses, for after lesuing a personal apeal to Americans to help the wounded, they wrote per- scnai_acknowledgements to every one who responded. King Peter of Serbia has had a restless and adventurous life, spend. ing most of his early years in Paris while a rival dynasty occupied the throne of Serbia. He was then plain Peter Karageorgvitch, living In Pari: and Geneva in anyihing but royal style. It was not until the rival dynasty was wiped out, by the as- sassination of the king and Queen Draga, that the wandering Peter sud- denly found himself a king. During these Bohemian days, Peter mingled a good deal among the Amer- icans visiting Paris. In this way he chanced to meet the daughter of one of the merchant princes of Chicago and showed her marked _attention. This was so noticeable that Paris pepers at the time referred to the prospects of a union between the pros- pective king of Serbia and a young American girl. It is said not to have been Peter's fault that an American gueen does mot reign today In Ser- Peter's brother Arsene was his close companion in the Bohemian days. And when royalty suddenly descended on the family It was Areene who did most of the celebrating. King Peter pro- ceded to Belgrade to take up the cares of state, but Arsene remained for some time in Paris. The celebration on the eve of his departure will evet be re- membered as one of the most remark- able the Paris boulevards have ever witnessed. It occurred at a restau- rant on the rue Royal, famous for its midnight gaiety. The best of wine ceiebrated the advent of the new dyn- asty, and Arsene's departure to share in royal rule. But the climax was What sure surprised the boulevards, as they saw the diners come from their tables, bearing buckets filled with champagne, which was offered to the horses of the midnight flacres lining the curb. It was the only time on record that the Paris cab-horses were treated to champagne. Peter proved himself an excellent king, and Arsene and all the others have distinguished themselves. The king has now given over most of the cares of state to the crown prince, wh:‘, with Paschwitz, is the directing genfus. King Constantine of Greece is also & well known figure at Paris, as he used to be a frequent visitor, while Crown Prince, trying to stimulate official and public’attention in Greece's rights in Crete. Although born at Athens, Con- stantine is a Danish prince from German stock, a Fleld Marshall of the Prussian army, and his wife, Scphia, a Prussian princess an own sister ' of the Kalser.

Pleading that three million persons dependent on the industries of Poland are starving, the Workman's union of Poiand has sent to the governor gen- eral, Herr von Beseler, at Warsaw, a memorial urging the reopening of the facteries, the adoptoin of a protective tariff, and the return of machines, me- chanical fittings and especially belts and gears, which were taken out of the foctories and work shops during the early days of German occupation. The memorial states that “the work- inz population of Poland includes 350,- 006 workmen :n factories, 60,000 in the buflding trade and 590,000 in smaller industries.” Including the families of these workmen, this industrial popula- tion. reaches a total of three million persons, with a normal income of ahout $150,000,000 a year. 4 certain proportion of this popula- tion, it is stated, has been sent to Germany, and another section are re- celving aid from their former employ- ers—where the latter are still able to Ielp them. “But there is still a great mass of people who are actually starv- iLg,” says the membrial, “and for the sakc of these persons it is advisable to PuL at least some of the factories into operation, especially the sugar, vinegar and yeast factories, mills, breweries, sawmills, brickyards and foundries.” The memorial deals briefly with the Guestion of articles commandeered by the German military authorities, stat- ipg that the complete confiscation of all raw material would paralyze indus- tiy, and that enough machinery should b3 left in the factories to enable them to_continue in partial operation.
