PERMANENT PROSPERITY. Speaking before the American As- sociation of Woolen and Worsted Man- ufacturers Frank A. Vanderlip, presi- dent of tho :National' City bank of New York declared that United States must become independent of war prosperity as quickly as possible and it was his belief that with solid Yankee prosperity as a base, American Dbusiness men can build up an immense world trade. It is an evident fact that this coun- try has been experiencing some of the prosperity of former times because of the great amount of business which has been thrown its way because of the war. This condition has brought unprecedented business in certain lines. Industries which manufacture muni- tions of war have experienced the good results of the heavy demands for their products and’ there has likewise bean 13\ New Haven, Dec. 2—In regard to the medical mission work in Labrador in which & pumber of Yale. under- gradusYes have recently been inter- ested, Dr. Wiltred L. Grenfell, who is at the head of this new movement has published some very interesting facts Concerning his work. In spite of the set back which the philanthropic work has suffered from the war, the medical mission in Labrador and Newfound- land was most vigorously pushed this past eeason. The Yale contingent that went north to heélp during the sumer conaisted of 12 undergraduates. This was stronger than usual. Fish- ing from which a_large part of the funds necedsary in carrying on ‘the work is derived, was very good. The total catch was smaller than usual but the demand, owing to the war, gave much better prices. Also the spruce forests which are owned by the mis- sion contributed a large quantity of props for English and French mines, the normal suply from Norway and Sweden being cut off. The main fo: ward step of the mission during the year was the building of a winter cottage hospital in the northern part of Labrador. To accomplish this _the power yawl “Yale” was an absolutely Eastern Connecticut has forty- nine towns, one hundred and sixty- five postoffice districts, and sixty rural’ free delivery routes.

The question of yural credits is one which has been before the countyy for & long time.- It is generally recognized 88 a needed plece of legislation, but the inability to agree upon a measure which would satisfy all is orie of the chief reasons why it has not been placed upon the statute books. Rural credits as carried on in other countries with marked success have been carefuily studied. It is fully un- derstood that many of the methods which are used there could be adopted in this country with excellent results and it would serve to bring a needed relief to a great many of the rural communities, for which under the ex- isting conditions very little has been done. That a rural credit measure will re- ceive much attention in the coming session of congress is indicated, and it gets an added impetus through the fact that President Wilson. is an nounced as favoring such a bill. This may mean that the administration will have a measure or that sentiment has been raised to the point where it can- not longer be dodged, but it is appar- ent that the interests of the country demand the gettipg together for the settling of the problem and the meet- ing of the demands. This country is largely interested in agriculture, but the interest is not what it can be or what it should be. Farming in many sections is retarded through the Iick of just such encour- agement as would be provided by a sound rural credit system, and it is time that something was being done for the farmers of this country in keeping with that which has been done for those engaged in similar work in other countries. It may be impossible to pass a perfect law at the start, but it is highly important that a start should be made. THE DU PONT EXPLOSIONS. The explosions and the loss of life which have occurred in the powder tactories of the Du Pont company in Delaware have caused new suspicions to be aroused over the acts which have been attributed to representatives or sympathizers of the countries which are interested in such destruction of property for the embarrassment which it causes to other belligerent coun- tries. Every handicap of the kind to directly affect American industries operates indirectly to the disadvantage of those who are benefiting from the purchase of the products of such plants. The fact that the announcement is made that no evidence is possessed that the explosions were the result of a plot, or in other-words that they are anything more than thé natural result of the hazards which exist in stich business, does mot warrant the acceptance of such without a thorough Investigation for the determination if possible as to just what was the cause and whether it was deliberate or acci- dental. . This should be conducted not only by the company, but by the authorities in as careful and thorough a manner as is possible. No step should be left untaken for the purpose of learning where the responsibility lies. Just be- cause suspicion exists that some for- eign agent is at the bottom of it is not sufficient ground for accepting it as a fact. If there is any connection between the deplorable affair and the posting of the placards about the plant it should be established if there is any. possible way of doing it. It is im- portant to the company and it is vital to the state and nation to either ex- plode the suspicion or .to logate the. gullty party. NEW YORK STATE’S POSITION. New! York state finds itself in a pe- culiar situation as the result of the recent decision of the supreme court / upholding the constitutionality .of the anti-alien labor law. The case which . found its way into the court was based upon the law which made it / necessary that citizens of this country uld be employed on contracts which concerned public work. The situation at the time was such that public improvements were being delayed because citizens of this coun- try could not ‘be secured in sufficlent numbers to push it along or else they could not be induced to engage in such work for the wages that were ‘belng paid. The result wes that the " situation was brought to the attention of the legislature with the outcome ‘that the law was altered and instead being denied the right to employ on public contracts, the law was amended to read so that other n citizens can be employed in such fnot telling the truth. an increased call for the products which this country puts forth in time of peace. Every branch of the tex- tile industry is rushed with orders. There is need, however, of looking beyond this temporary business show- ered upon us by the war. That is bound to be restricted to certain lim- its and what is wanted is an increased business on a permanent basis. The war has started the stimulation and it is time for the American manufac- turers to stand united for the purpose of making permafient what is now rec- ognized as only temporary. The op- portunity for increased foreign trade was never better and the many way /in which industries can be built up for the benefit of domestic consump- tion have been made plain. What is necessary is the giving of confidence to capital which will mean stable pros- perity instead of the unstable activ- ity due just now to war orders and that to a large degree lles in national legislation. GIVEN A FAIR TRIAL. Many are the attacks which have been made by agitators against_the courts and the administration of Jus- tice in this country, but there are fre- quent demonstrations to the effect that they are nevertheless being given fair treatment when they find themselves in the tolls of the law. This is revealed in the case re- cently tried against Miss Blizabeth G. Flynn, an I. W. W. enthusiast who was concerned in the strike of the silk workers at Paterson, N. J., and who was charged with inciting the strikers to riot. The trouble occurred two vears ago and Miss Flynn has just been acquitted after a lengthy hear- ing as the result of which she con- siders that she has been “tremendous- Iy vindicated.” That she was not transgressing the law in saying what she did under the rights of free speech is what the ver- dict of the jury apparently declares, but as for endorsing her methods or supporting her position as an,agitator it is impossible to twist the verdict into any such meaning. The trial has shown, however, that even those who are stirring up un- rest and arousing others to action have limits to which they must confine themselves. They must have respect for the law and when they do their rights will be protected, but had Miss Flynn exceeded her rights and incited to riot as charged it would have been no ground for putting forth the claim as is so often done that she was be- ing made an example of because she was working in her chosen cause. She got a fair trial and a verdict of not guilty, whether she expected it or not. EDITORIAL NOTES. Out of the trenches by Christmas, says Henry Ford. Does he mean Christmas of 1915 or 19162 More than one who has attempted to predict the end of the war realizes before this that he has another chance. That committee which has been named to investigate the New Jer- sey fish trust ought to unearth some good stories. It is announced that the German campalgn in Servia has ended, but there is no doubt that the Servians will continue to do much worrying. The hard fight which certain of the Balkan states are making to preserve their neutrality is a complete reversal of past policies. Indianapolis reports a 50 per cent. increase in autos and 1,600 less dogs. It would be interesting to know what the effect was upon the human popu- lation. When Dr. Kaempt tells the German reichstag that the Turkish army has lived up to its reputation he knows that the Armenians are Teady to back up his statement. The announcement that William Jennings Bryan will not join the Ford peace party, but will meet it at The Hague might indicate that he didn't like .the company.

She completed seven 300 mile trips during the season be- sides her long voyage north and south to winter quarters, and visits to 15 settlements when she brought 17 tiegts back to the hospital. Only the engines given and installed by Yale undergraduates last year made so much work possible. This year's Tesults have y had their effect in the fact already 15 students have volunteered their services to the mission for next season. Last year tigh president of the uni- versity appoi a committee to zssist the library in the collection of all kinds of literature and material #.- lating to the war and especially the more fugitive sort of material such as proclamations, and so forth. This committee in cooperation with the 1i- brary has sent out many letters and circulars to all parts of the country and elsewhere and has made an ex- haustive search, wherever possible, for every type of material reflecting the events of the war. The result of these efforts has been that Yale Uni- versity now possesses as good a collec- tion of this sort as there is in_the country, if not the best. The collec- tion consists of considerable contem- poraneous history but, what is more important, fles of newspapers and magazines from the majority of the countries. Another form of material carefully collected by the committee cBnsists of recruiting post- ers, intimately connected with the war, These reflect a side of the war that cannot be found in books or to any great extent even in current periodi- Also, a large collection of letters from men doing service: in the war zone has been made. In addition to this material there are large numbers of maps, pho- tographs and sketches of war scenes and a great deal of miscellaneous ma- terial that is so diverse in its nature that no_definite classification can be made of it as yet. In the difficult work necessitated by the gathering of this imense amount of material, the committee and the University Library have been materially_assisted by both Yale men and non Yale men. This Yale collection of war literature and material will be of great value to fu- ture historians dealing with the pres- ent war. Since the wireless controlled tor- pedo invented by John Hays Ham- mond, Jr., 1910 S, is now under con- sideration by the United States Gov- ernment for purchase and develop- ment the account of,its invention has created a considerable amount of in- terest among Yale graduates as well undergraduates. Shortly after fic School five years ago, Mr. Ham. mond started experimenting at Glou- cester Bay, near Boston. His _first important invention.was that of the lttle electric “dog” from which he first got his inspiration for the wire- less controlled torpedo of war. These “dogs” are uncanny because they are inanimate and dumb looking devices which follow in the path of illumina- tion whenever a flashlight is pointed at them. Mr. Hammond's next devel- opment was a wireless boat. It was a 40 foot craft with a speed of 33 miles an hour. In a short while this small craft was making trips to sea under the power of her own engines but without a- single soul on board. By the use of his elaborately equipped wireless station on shore Mr. Ham- mond was able to guide the boat out to sea between the encircling rocks that mark the entrance to Gloucester harbor. In the further development of Hammond's apparatus a missile can be launched in midair from an aeroplane and directed to hit any de- sired object after leaving the mu: zle of the weapon. In his work Mr. Hamond has had_the cooperation of his father, John Hays Hammond, an advocate of the cause of international peace and one of the leaders of the movement to_bring Xbout a cessation of the war. With his aversion to war the father has encouraged his son in the bellef that perfection of such ‘weapons of defense will compel peace. Recently an interesting and import- ant operation was undertaken in the Art School by Hammond Smith and his assistants of New York, in the re- pair and restoration of over 70 of the Jarves collection of early Italian paintings. This was a work demand- ing expert knowledge of technical methods of the old masters and long experience and skill in attacking the varied problems that confront the Testorer. Irr the case of the Jarves collection the task was to strengthen those panels which had become fragile from age or much woFm-riddled, by the process called cradling. Other pictures needed little more than care- ful removal of discoloration from swoke, dust or old varnish. The Jar- ves collection will soon be rehung with increased wall space and more appropriate arrangement, Wwhen the that has been effected. _ In accordance with' its policy to public may see the great improvement present only plays of a Tecognized literary and dramatic value, the Uni- versity Dramatic _Association an- mounces that its Christmas production this year will be “The Ideal Husband” by Oscar Wilde. This choice has been made after 1 deliberation, and it is believed that the plece will amply meet the various Tequirements neces- sary to success. This year's Christ- mas trip which will start on December 18, is one of the longest that the as- sociation hds made in recent years. This year's itinerary includes Bridge- port, Auburn, Rochester, Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo, Cincinnati, Colum- bus, Indianapolis, Chicago and Detroit.

He is an active, brave, and determined soldier, not afrald of death, and those stories which assert that ‘their officers drive them Into battle with machine guns are all nur- sery tales. His individual merits are indisputable. Only in the mass does he fail. Russian soldiers are abso- lutely dependent on their leader, and if_the leader fails they are lost. Their officers, therefore, are much more burdened and have a greater task to rform than ours, but it must be ac- Knowledged that wherever thelr of- ficers chose to lead them the men put up magnificent resistance. “The Russian artillery is excellent. It is indeed most annoying, but for- tunately we encountered always less and less artillery as we progressed, 0o that towards ¢he end of the offensive it was not dangerous any . Wh ever artillery they had they shifted tar back, for their main object was that we should_not take any more guns from them. The Russian cavalry had little to do during thé offensive. “The prisoners,” continued the Gen- eral, “whom I came across were all handy and good-hearted people. They never behaved in a hostile manner towards us, unlike the prisoners on other fronts, who could not conceal their enmity and contempt. As I in- spected the many thousands of Rus- sian prisoners I always found that they were first-class material in ev- ery way. Most of them are tall, strong and healthy. The only trouble is their inferfor _intelligence. 1 studied them carefully, and 1 saw that they have little knowledge of events, and some of them even thought that the French Emperor was coming on behind us with his hosts and that we would be crushed between the two armies. “The Russian counter-attacks were much stronger in the beginning of our offensive than later , on. As time passed these became weaker and more rare, as the Russian reserves began to diminish. My ~experience ‘throughout the campaign was that the Russlins were never totally short of ammuni- tion. They had ample artillery and infantry munitions all the time. Whenever we_ took Russian positions we always found great qpantities there. OTHER VIEW POINTS Naive and without deception is the statement of the trolley company re- garding the carrying capacity of the new pay-as-you-enter ca'yi. It states that seats will be provided for 46 and that there will be standing room for 60 more. In other words, it will col- lect $2.30 from those who are com- fortably carried and $3 from those who have to stand. Only in America does it seme to be possible to impose such conditions yiuccessfully. Verily, that magnate who realized that it was “the straphangers who pay the profits” knew his business.
