Every congress has important ques- tions before it for settlement, but none more than the sixty-fourth session ‘which has just opened faced greater responsibilities. There are important issues as the result of the questions which have been raised by the war in ‘Europe which must be grappled with. ‘These are matters which must be dealt with carefully and properly. They do not call for partisan action, but action with a full consideration for American Interests. There are the rights of the nation, its foreign policy and the vital question of its proper protection in view of the siturtion which has devel- oped abroad and the position which belligerents have taken which cannot be treated carelessly and be handled right. It is not the time or the place for the display of strong partisanship or sympathy for one side or the other in the war, if the welfare of this coun- try is to be properly taken care of. It is an exacting task which lies be- fore congress in this respect. There ar> also many questions of direct concern to this country alone which will call for considerate atten- tion. There will be the matter of ade- quate defense by land and sea, the im- portant matter cf increasing the coun- try’s revenue, the subject of an in- treased merchant marine, the advocacy of government cwned steamship lines which was only recently defeated, the Jones bill in behalf of greater inde- pendence for trhe Filipinos, legislation | affecting industry and trade, besides ! & number of other measures which call for action in accordance with the tacts. PORTO RICO’S AMBITION. This country is not the only one that fecosnizes that the time is ripe for wrade expansion, or that understands that if an increase is to be obtained that will be more than temporary, it must be hustled for. It is apparent to every nation not engaged in the war and while the larger ones are devoting more or less attention in that direction Porto Rico is speaking up and ask- Ing for its share of trade. Such an awakening in the island re- public is a most convincing bit of evi- dence that the Porto Ricans are alive to their own interests and are not content to sit idly by while others are extending their trade. It is a mani- festation of the proper spirit when it Indicates that it does not intend to de quietly in its place in the Antilles -nd watch those heavily laden ships pass on their voyages along the Pan- American coastline, without stopping to unload or load a portion of their *argoes in its ports. Porto Rico already has quite a vol- ame of trade with this country as the reports ending with June of this year show that the island shipped to this sountry for the fiscal year domestic merchandise amounting to $42,306,350 ind_foreign merchandise valued at $5,570. It received in return domestic 00ds valued at $30,149,764 and foreign z0ods worth $780,067. Still the island has plenty of oppor- tunity for growth; all of which depends apon the development of its trade. That it is cognizant of its position ind determined to extend its commer- *fal relations is a zood sign and it will de through that that it will boost the 'gricultural activity and call atten- don to its many opportunities. GASOLINE AND SUBSTITUTES. The lack of stability in the price /t gasoline and the constant tendency apward makes it a subject for in- :reased attention in view of the fact ‘hat it is of such general use in pro- iucing heat and power. Added in- ievest is also furnished now because > the advocacy of a federal tax on tach gallon of gasoline used, which ‘hough the tax might be collected at he sou.ce would simply mean that 1 would be passed along to the con- jumer and mean an additional boost. As in many other instances where he high cost of purchase has: been tecognized, thought has been turned jo providing substitutes which would lurnish a larger supply at a lower cost ind thereby overcome the high price vhich is- fast getting to be pro- ubitive, Crude ofl has found an increased narket because engines have been »uilt for its use as a fuel, and at the for such a commodity in that country beginning with 1917. The experiments which have led up to such a decision have proved the substitute entirely satisfactory, as does the report on the English motor spirits. Thus in view of the fact that in- creasing demand for gasoline is driv- ing the price higher, the need of plac- ing on the market a cheaper substitute is equally important in this country, and in view of the fact that other countries are able to reach a solution of the problem it is not to be believed but what it can be done here. PUT CREDIT WHERE IT BELONGS. Attention is being called by certain democratic papers at this time to the remarkable prosperity which is being shown under a democratic adminis- tration. It is being polnted out by the Boston Post that “new high records have been made in foreign trade, rail- road earnings, steel and iron produc- tion, copper output, bank clearings and deposits and general business” and it is declared that “the basic cause for the present business ‘boom is the su- perabundance of money which can be loaned at cheap rates” This, In the opinion of the Post, was caused by the putting into operation of the new banking and currency system since “the resulting bountiful sypply of cheap money made it possible for business to recover and expand to its present record proportions.” This of course sounds fine and like many other arguments along the same line is supposed to bolster up the administration and give it full credit for the prosperity which the country is now enjoying, and it might be con- vincing if it was accepted without fur- ther thought, but it is impossible to overlook the conditions which existed in this country following the opening of the democratic administration and the introduction of its policies. Bus- iness went flat and the deplorable sit- uation would have continued but for the fact that the war in Europe open- ed, creating unprecedented conditions. Products of this cguntry in all lines were demanded as never before by the belligerents and neutral countries which had been dependent upon the warring nations and as the result this country was furnished with opportuni- ties for greatly increased business. It is that business and the steady devel- opment which is responsible for the present prosperity. It is that which has turned the trade balance so con- spicuously in our favor and increased cheap money in this country. It is the war which, operating as a great tariff wall, has started the wheels to humming in this country. The war cannot be denied the credit that is due it. Thoush it has saved the ad- ministration from a much worse show- ing than it faces, it has nevertheless demonstrated that what this country needs is a protective tariff and not free trade. Prosperity, however, is due to the war and not the administration policies. The credit should be placed where it belongs. NATIONAL DEFENSE. No matter which will come before the present session of congress has received greater attention in advance than that of strensthening the army and navy of this country. The country is by no means committed or leaning to militarism, but it has recognized the importance of insuring the peace- ful state of affairs through making proper preparation in these depart- ments so that it may not be found in an unwarrantedly weak condition should trouble quickly arise from the outside. The time to safeguard against such a contingency is now and not after a foe has landed on our shores. The question of preparation is one which ought not to be viewed through partisan eyes. It is not a matter which ought to be jammed through congress only to have grave mistakes disclosed because there was a failure to look upon both sides of the ques- tion, but one which calls for tact and forbearance. It is more than a par- tisan policy that is at stake. It is the whole nation in the balance and care must be exerted to see that neither party drives the other into partisan action through failure” to consider other viewpoints than their own. Whatever the action is that is finally taken the country will look to con- 8ress to see that it is grounded upon the soundest advice that can be ob- tained rezardless of the side by which such idea is advanced. National de- fense ought never to be made a po- litical football. It is a matter on which the best judgsment of all should be exercised without neglecting the coun- try’s welfare or rushing it into a need- less expenditure of money. EDITORIAL NOTES. Rumania has commandeered ships for national defense. That is something more for the belligerents to worry about. The Oscar II has been on its way for three days and thus far no news has been received of any strike in the trenches. Greece apparently spends one day looking over one side of the fence and the next is given to the consideration of the other. The news has been spread that Cuba needs capital. There are many indi- viduals who car sympathize with that little republic. Two stowaways have been discov- ered on the Ford peace ship. It is to be sincerely hoped that there are no bombs aboard. The man on the corner says: Never let Opportunity slip by with the idea that you can put salt on its tail any time you want to. The arrival of the first contingent of Jamaicans in Burope to participate in the war ought to add some warmth to the winter's campaign. From all accounts it appears that the British are having as much trou- ble getting into the back door of Tur- key as they have experlenced at the Dardanelles.

THE FUR COAT e Margaret stood in the open doorway, her books under her arm, gazing thoughfully out over the blue waters of the harbor. “I know, Jack,” she was saying, “but you must bave a new overc and suit for the winter. love to have a fur coat like Helen but I don't see how we can afford it this year. You know you haven't made much on the last two trips, and— “Oh, cheer up, Sis,” interrupted her brother pleasantly; “I guess we won't starve.” The girl sighed but said mo more. Her brother, having finished his break- fast, rose and stood watching her a moment. “Poor Sis,” he thought, “it's mot the first time she's given up some pleas- ure for me, and it must be lonesome for her when I'm out.” His_thoughts went back over the last few years. After the death Of his father, four years ago, his moth- er had struggled bravely to make a living_for herself and her kttle fami- ly. Having finished the grammar school course, Jack, unlike most of the young people of the little fishing town, was sent to high school that he might be better fitted for the world he_had to face. But after two vears the strain be- gan to show of the, delicate mother. Her health broke down and she soon passed away, leaving her two children in the care of an elderly cousin, whom they had always called Aunt Jennie. Aunt Jennie's husband was captain of a small fishing vessel named the Marietta. After Jack’s mother died he took the boy out on fishing trips with him and paid him a share of the pro- fits. Margaret was now 15, four years younger than Jack, and was in the second year of the town high school She was deeply devoted to her brother and he possessed a strong affection for_her. Their father’s sister, who had a beatiful home in one of the large cit- ies of Maine and had visited them dur- the summer, and had repeatedly ask- ed Margaret to go and stay with her. “It must be lonely for you, child she used to say, “with Jack away all day 2 “Well, it is sometimes,” the girl would answer slowly, “but I like to be here when Jack comes home; and then there's Aunt Jennie, you know.

Come on, Sis.” Jack threw his oil skins over his arm and together they started off down the shore. - It was a fresh, clear day in early October, and the brisk east wind was making little white caps on the blue waves. Margaret stood on the wharf watching the Marletta starting out, her brother waving back to her from its deck. The boat was almost to the point before the girl turned her steps toward school. ; The sun was slowly dropping in the western sky and casting long, slanting ravs across the waters, when the Mar- ietta entered the harbor the next aft- ernoon. They had made a good catch, and had taken the fish to Boston. “Won't Margie be pleased!” thought Jack, slancing over the harbor to Where their little home nestled on the water's edge. “Not such a bad trip,” he soliliquized. “Ninety dollars will be a good help toward our trip to Maine and I don’t know but I might get her the coat, too.” 5 “Hi! Jackle!” called a boyish voice, and Jack saw a_small dory carrying two little boys. It was fitted up Wwith a homemade sail and mast, and was headed for the point. ello, hoys,” returned Jack, “that’s some sailboat you've got, but you bet. ter be careful. Don't go out too fa: But his_warning was lost on the boys as the dory sped over the waves. Jack looked after them and thought of his Stories of the War l Nobel Prize Winner at Flanders. Lieut. W. L. Bragg, who jointly with his father, Prof. W. H. Brage, F. R. S, has received the Nobel prize for physics, is serving with the Britssh forces in Flanders as an ar- tillery expert The third sclentist who was associated with the two in their researches into crystals and X-rays, Henry J. M. Moseley, was killed by a sniper’s bullet in Galiipoli. Professor Bragg and his son won their medals by following up certain discoveries in the formation of crys- tals made by Professor Lave, a Ger- man scientist who himself won the Nobel physics prize in 1914. He de- veloped the theory that an X-ray is a phenomenon similar to ray of light, but produced by wave lengths many thousand times smaller than the in- conceivably small waves associated with light. Professor Bragg and his son hit up- on a method of investigation by which they obtained the knowledge as to how atoms In crystals are arranged. “To our astonishment,” he said, “it upset all the old set theories of crys- tallography and many other ideas as well.” In this work the pair were assisted by young Moseley, who was the son of the late Prof. A. N. H. Moseley of Oxford. Starting from a certain point of Lave's researches into the diffrac- tion of X-rays in their passage through crystals, the three, in the word sof Prof. Bragg, “opened up vis- tas the significance of which is in- conceivable.” Professor Lave, like Lieut. Bragg and the unfortunate Moseley, is also a soldier. Nancy to Paris Road. The traveler by rail from Nancy to Paris now finds little to be seen from the car window to indicate that the country on both sides of the line was twice covered In retreat and advance by the two great armies that are still fighting beyond the ridges of Cham- pagne and the forest hills of the Ar- gonne that are visible to the north. Beginning with Meaux, most of the ravages of battles have disappeared. All blown-up bridges have been re- built or repaired and excepting an is- olated structure most of the bombard- ed buildings have been repaired or re. placed. 230,000 Tons Captured by British. Of the 5,459,296 tons of which the German merchant marine consisted at the beginning of the war, 230,000 tons have been captured by the British navy and 38,000 tons by other Allies, while 117,000 tons have been eunk and 397,000 tons interned in ports of the British Empire. The remainder, ex- cept the few ships at large in the Bal- tic, are juterned in German and meu- tral harbors. These figures were given out by Sir Owen Philipps _while presiding at a meeting here of a British shipping company. own younger brother who had bee: drowned three years before. ‘The Marietta had just stopped at the mooring when Jack noticed that the mast of the dory had broken and the boy: helplessly out to sea.

Some wear a sort of ballet skirt, like the southern Albanian, and some, long Mother Hub- bard skirts, like the Salomiki Je The skirts worn by the Jewish men are wonderful things in brilliant col- terial. While a great many Macedon- fan men have cast aside their skirts, enough of them have clung to the time-honored fashion to make _the scene a confusing ome to the West- r on his first visit. ‘The Macedonian, also, has a cus- tom all his own for observing the ceremony of baptism. Many of his priests use oil instead of water in this office on account of the general Mace- donian prejudice against water for ary other use than as a beverage. It is said that the people of Macedonia bathe as often as they marry, which is only once or twice in a life time.

Despite | n the voluminous criticisms which have been written about the backwardness of Macedonia, the Macedonian might boast of having among the few hotels in the world that go In for teaching their patrons manners. There is such a hotel in Saloniki. In a conspicuous place on the walls of its bed rooms, the following rules of conduct are isplayed to guide the traveler aright. ‘1" Messieurs the voyazers who descend upon the hotel are requested |n to hand over to the management any money or articles of value they may have.” 2, Those who have no baggage must pay every day, whereas those who have may only do so once a week. | h 3.
