Lieut. Shackleton set out to follow a route which would take him across the South Pole and in expectation of being successful a relief ship had been sent to meet him when he emerged, as he expected to, from the ice-bound continent of Antarctica at a point op- posite to where he entered. The fact that this ship has been carried away in an ice fleld and been forced to seek shelter elsewhere malkes it evident hat if Shackleton succeeds in accom- plishing his task he must wait for many months before that er another vessel can return. It is possible of course that he fail- ed to keep up with his schedule and meeting adverse conditions which he was unable to overcome, turned back and will emerge where he went in, but it is the uncertainty and the un- fortunate situation in which he will be placed if he does succeed in ac- complishing his purpose only to find that the relief which he expected fail- ed and that there are no provisions to sustain life, which arouses deep con- cern over his predicament. For that reason, much anxiety will pravail until some word is received from this ex- plorer. GYARD AGAINST DUMPING. It 15 a noticeable fact in connection with all its other problems incident to the war that British manufacturers are mot a little concerned over the probabllity of the market being flood- ed with cheaply manufactured Ger- man goods following the signing of peace:~ It is maintained that German manufacturers have not heen idle just because that country is at war, but that they have continued to fill their storeabuses, and inasmuch as it is im- possible to export such goods at the present time there will be Immense quantities pushed out and into other countries just as soon as it is possible to accomplish the distribution. Great Britaln fears this trade because of the fact that the goods have been pro- duced at a much less cost than they could be under the wage scale which exists in that country. Thag*being the case it is high time that gerious consideration was given to that same situation right here in the Tnited States, where the dumping possibility has not been entirely over- looked, yet littie has been donme to meet™it. If the cost of production is Jower in Germany than it Is in Great Britain, it is also true that the manu- facturinz cost in the latter country is lower than it Is in this country, where the workingman receives far greater considgration, and the harm which would be' done here would be corres- pondingly greater in the United States than in the Urited Kinsdom. Thus it becomes evident that while Ameri- can inéustry, under normal conditions, feserves proper protection ithe time is coming-when it is going to, get a more Bevere blow than it would have under atic slashing had the war not siépped in to prevent it, and the time ¥or this country to take preven- tive measures is before the harm is done, CHANGE FOR THE WORSE. It was only a few days ago that the claim was made that a new spirit was in control in Germany, that the old idea of entirely disrezarding the Tights of others and the provisions of inter- national law had passed and that san- ity and sound judgment would hence- forth prevail. This was due to the fact that Grand Admiral von Tirpitz had resigned and he was known to represent the sentiment which had previously prevailed and which was intent upon the destruction of every- thing and anything which stood in the way of German, success. Yet with the new forces in control the situation appears to have gone from bad to worse. There has been no letting up in the destruction of merchant ships and there has been manifested no change for the better as regards the respect for and safety of humanity, and it is but natural that there should be asked the question, Has Germany actually been convinced of the need of reform, or is it, spur- red on by the failure in the past to accomplish its purpose on the high seas, determined to go the limit and put a new interpretation upon the claim that anything that is done for the kaiser is right? From the manner in which it has apparently pushed aside all promises and set out to sink unarmed ships, cven without glving them warning or making any effort whatsoever to pro- vide for the safety of the passengers and crew, it gives the appearance of having, given support to a reisn of It could increase the protection for|terrorism.

Hollagd has had reason on several oecasiods to consider by what means Still if it hadn’t been for Villa, a certain number would have continued to insist that this country was pre- pared for anything. That Chicago man who failed in his attempt to commit sulcide by swal- lowins 35 cents, made his mistake in teking an overdose when he felt like 30 cents. Thus far the best that Germany has been able to provide in the way of a North sea fight is that fatal combat between that armed merchant vessel and a raider. Now that Doctor Wiley has declared that 68 per cent. of the men of the United States are unfit for military Service, he has relieved a lot-of peo- ‘Ple from further worry. .« TROUBLEMAKERS.

Silent Upheaval in Civie Work. Hardly less remarkabie than the swift transformation of Englang into a powerful military nation has been the silent upheaval that has placed «|the civil work and the industries of - [ the workshops in the hands of women, It has been estimated from official fig- ures that there were fully 2,000,000 more women in active employ on March 1, 1916, than on the correspond- ing day’ twelve months earlier. How- ever, the number is increasing week by_week. Every class of women, including those previously regarded as leisured and well-to-do, are adding to the to- tal. The call is reaching the remotest hamiets as well as the quiet market towns, and the women and girls are responding. The women are mobiliz- ing in a great army, ready to serve wherever they are most 'needed— even. to the hard labor of the tilling of the soil. Such changes in the national, com- mercial and industrial spheres are naturally - creating considerable read- justment of social conditions with the result that the Youns Women's Chris- tian Association, Women's Unions, suf- fragist organization and scores of women’s clubs are confronted with many new problems in helping to care for the thousands of women suddenly thrown into a new. environment. The initial difficulty to be deal with has deen that of housing the workers in the muntion factories.
