Particular attention is 'directed at this time to the activity which exists among the textile industries of the country. .Everywhere there is good 'business and additions to take care of 'more which appears to be in sight. It is a welcome sign when such indus- tries are branching out and it-is quite in contrast to what was indicated be- fore the breaking out of the war in Burope. - - That better business in this line is due to the trouble among foreign na- tions is as apparent as it is that fac- torles which are turning out munitions of war are busy for that very same reason. This country has experienced a shutting off of foreign production Dbetause the industries of those coun- tries are restricting themselves to home conditions and those in this country are free from that competi- tion which _involves much different working conditions and cheap labor. The democratic tariff as soon as it went into effect produced a slump in the industrial activity of this country which was felt from coast to coast. There was an uncertainty which prom- ised much harm. Business was de- ~moralized in exactly the manner that it was expected it would be. The open- ing of the war operated to give the business of this country a protection similar to that which was furnished by the republican tariff. European competition was cut off and today's situation with the mills humming and everyone busy is one of the best bits of evidence -that what this country needs is the discarding of free trade ideas and the maintenance of a tariff which will insure good times and prosperity after the protection which the war is furnishing has been re- moved, since it is the war acting as a protective tariff which has been the means of getting us back to republi- can times. DIMMING HEADLIGHTS. Wherever there is an effort made to overcome the great highway dan- ger of powerful headlights the en- deavor calls for commendation, and though the recognition on the part of the autoists of the necessity of bring- ing relief to the situation by their own actions applies as yet to only a small percentage of those who maintain strong and unnecessary lights, every little progress indicates that an im- provement is being made. L The glaring headlights are Being chang.d in various ways. Some driv- ers are conslderate to the point that when other machines aré discerned coming towards them, or when pedes. trians or other vehicles are met head- on they shut off the searchlights which are so blinding to the eyes. Others do away with the danger al- together by abandoning the dazzling lights and maintain only those which romply with the law and which insure them of safe travel. Not a few have had the lights so tipped that the rays are projected downward instead of horizontally ahead which effectively lights the roadway, but protects those who are approaching from the oppo- site direction, and another scheme for accomplishing the same thing is the use of ground glass in the top half of the headlight. Such efforts manifest the proper re- gard for the comfort and safety of all on the public highway. It is no more consideration, however. than everyone is entitled to and the quicker all autoists become interested in con- tributing to safety in such a manner, the quicker the number of automobile aceidents will be lessened from that cause. BLOCKADING @REECE. Following the pulling of the wool over the eyes of the entente allies in the case of Bulgaria, where negotia- tions were strung out for the purpose of allowing Bulgaria to get better pre- pared when it was known all the time how it was eventually going to decide, the action which has been taken in de- claring what is virtually a commercial but friendly blockade of Greece is for the purpose of preventing another such sitoation from arising and at the same time hastening a decision by Greece 2s to what it is going to do. Owing to the attitude of King Con- stantino the allies stand in e perilous position. In the first place Greece tepudisgted its treaty which called for Ihe sending of aid to Servia in case of sttack.. Following that by invitation tion records of other republics on this side of the Atlantic prove conclusive- ly that this does not offer the only chance for betterment even though it may furnish the best. While records show that practically ten million peopls have recogmized the opportunities of the United States in the past decade and come here to avail themselves of them, there have -been large numbers who have been attracted by the advantages offered in Canada, Argentina and Brazil. More than a million Spaniards have gome to Ar- gentina in the past ten years and near- Iy a million Ttalians. In Brazil the Portuguese are the leaders with the Spaniards second and the Italians third, while Canada has drawn from various sections of Europe and many have gone there from the United States. These people have done much to build up these respective countries and immigrants following the war are likely to be divided in about the same way when it comes to selecting a new country to locate in. GET FACTS, THEN ACT. The opinion has been expressed that this country is not disposed to pay as much attention to the manner in which the Italian steamship Ancona ‘was torpedoed and the lives of its pas- sengers, including subjects of this country, sacrificed, as it did In the case of the Lusitania and the Arabic. ‘Whether there is any justice in such a’claim remains to be seen, but the fact that representation of the posi- tion or demands of this country for disavowal of the act or restitution has not been made is not sufficient grounds for such a statement. In the case of the Ancona as well as in those of the other ships which have been sunk without justification there is absolute need of getting the facts as they exist. It is necessary to know as near as possible just what oc- curred that day in the Mediterranean when the Ancona was attacked, and it is necessary to sift the clalms which have been made by both sides in or- der to get at those facts. The Austrian statement attempts to exonerate the submarine commander from all blame, but an entirely differ- ent situation !s presented by the dec- larations of the New York woman and the captain of the vessel, both of whom agree that the submarine kept shell- ing the ship after it had begun to put out lifeboats and that such acts re- sulted in the sacrifice of many MNves. Such being the case there is just as much reason for holding Austria to a strict accountability as there was Germany in its conduct of submarine warfare, and the delay in setting forth our position should not exceed the ascertainment of the facts. We can- not overlook the disregard of inter- national law in one case more than in the other. EDITORIAL NOTES. It fen’t too early to begin to make a list of the blessings for which thanks are to be offered this year. At present the Hiram Johnson pres- idential band wagon has more of a jitney appearance than ever. There ought to be a great chance for Germany to smash something if China decides to join the allles. ‘With King Corn showing assets of over $114,000,000 there is one monarch that is not worrying about the future. It takes an optimist to believe that a democratic congress can be expected to do any better than the previous ones. S G The man on the corner says: Even a lazy man will put up a fight if an attempt is made to interfere with his loafing libertie Even those countries which have come in last are quick to understand that they are not angaged in a holi- day’s recreatios, That German editor who looks for hate to nourish the people after the food is gone will find that it is a poor stimulant for a long war. The opening of congress will soon show whether Claude Kitchin is to preside over a kitchen cabinet or sim- ply become a kitchenette. If it is destined for Bulgaria to re- gret that it decided to get off the fence on the side which it did, the actual evidence hasn't been produced 'as yet. s b e While consideration is being given to the poor and distressed abroad, it is the season of the year when thought must also be given to those at home. When the Russians are finding but two men with machine guns defending the German line in places, it begins to look as if Germany had started a strategic retreat. Satisfying as his defense may have been concerning his acts in the war cabinet Winston Churchill will have to use different methods when he gets into the trenches. That Chicago baby who lived but a few days secured more prominence through its death than many a normal baby who has lived to grow up and become a useful citizen.

Mr. Editor: ‘The great photo play, “The Birth of a Nation” seemed to me more of a thrilling, speculative drama than a historical play of importance. I must say I was more surprised by what it lacked than by what it con- tained. New York Buffalo Those famillar with Southern land- and scapes saw there was not one typical for the picture in the reels, the _planter's Poster. house with its contiguous negro quart- o ers being nowhere in evidence. Those who expected to see Sher- man's March through Georgia to the Sea, did not behold a single com- pany of well-drilled boys in blue in it and not a single company of Con- federates which the South would be willing to recognize as representative of their military efficlency. From a soldier's point of view there was nothing in the military part of it but a rabble and a big noise. There were sensational thrills in it where love and cruelty crossed each other's tracks, -and where lech~ erous negroes were represent- ed as trying forcibly to make wives of pretty white women, one of whom pursued cast herself to death over a precipice. Most every one shed tears —doubtless all did who had tears to 1] shed. The negro was grossly misrepresent- ed in the pictures. When we saw him in authority denying to the white men the right of franchise he was a citizen preventing men from voting who had no legal right to vote—for 50 vears the megro has been killed at the polls by trese same white citi- zens when he was a legal voter seek- °F | ing_to deposit his vote for his party. ‘What the negro was represented as doing at Pledmont I have seen white troops do in other parts of the South. I have go reason to think of the col- ored volunteer as being more flerce or lecherous than other soldiers. The cruel and immoral men in the armies of any country are the exceptions, not the rule. While there were many beautiful pictures shown, there was a conglom- cration of historical scenes prdented from which only wrong inferences could be dfawn by those uninformed. The whole thing in effect was immoral be- cause defamatery both of the white and colored people, North and South. The only well-organized body of men.in the whole performance was the Ku Klux Klan and they rode with a speed no troops ever equalled, just as the mincing walk of the Cameron maids became a movement a female pedestrian would find it difficult to it STANDARD OIL CO.

It is situated on the upper- middle part of the Vardar's course. in a whorl of ragged mountains. The Saloniki-Mitrovitza railway passes through the town, and, with a short branch line from Saloniki _through Vodena to Monastir, forms the only means of rail communication with the outside world remaining to Ser- via. Koprili is, thus, a town of great strategic importance: . for its posses- sion by the Allles keeps the way open for s re-occupation by them of Ser- via. “The valley in which the city lles is a narrow one, and on every side, for miles_around, stretch broken moun- tain lines.

People evefywhere ought to be educated in- to the idea of buying the bonds of their own city. It would teach them to invest with a sense of security, be- cause every man who has $100 is in a position to judge of the credit of his own city. It would save brokerage. and it would give the cities at mod- erate interest the considerable amount of money which is deposited i old stocking banks.—Waterbury Republi- can. One may say without undue evidence of partisanship that, if this thing really occurred, it was. a mistake in judgment for the flancee of the presi- dent to deputize a German-American to go to Paris and secure for her from French modistes her trousseau. There s a natural ban on all things and persons Teutonic in France just now and, while it might have been more polite for the Paris artists to smother their natural sentiments and furnish the gowns sought to the Ger- manic agent, what they have done is entirely matural and not at all dis- creditable. The mistake was made in employing an agent from a hostile na~ tion to make this trip. and this pur- chase. A plain American without hyphenated tendencies would have been more acceptable to France and more likely to bring back the coveted gowns in triumph.—Ansonia Sentinel. “NEAL OF THE NAVY,” U. S.
