INCE the settlement of the so-called war strikes at Bridgeport and Bayonne we have heard little more of the formidable feats agitation promised to agcomplish in tying up American indus- tries. What we do hear are things which show which way the wind is really blowing and which prove that employers and employees en- gaged in producing war supplies can manage to understand each other. For example: The Bethlehem Steel Company announces a ten per cent. increase in wages which will affect 17,000 employees. Two big Michigan copper mining companies are paying 1,200 workers a th five per cent. bonus on each month's wages. The International Mo- | __ tor Company of Plainfield, N. J., offers its men an eight-hour day, a ten per cent. wage increase and a special war bonus of twenty per cent. The Locomobile Company at Bridgeport will share profits with 8,000 of its employees and the Colt firearms plant at Hartford pro- , poses to divide a bonus of twelve and one-half per cent, on all wages oe paid since May 1. - * Before announcements of this sort strikes and rumors of strikes dissolve into thin air. The fact is the moment has arrived when the extra profits in the manufacture of war supplies became sufficiently obvious to excite the interest of everybody—including the workers} themselves. | Once the latter are assured that they will get their share there | will be no trouble. Which fact—if we may jadge from profit-sharing programmes laid down—the manufacturers thoroughly appreciate. Agitators can claim little credit for such disturbances as have oe- | am curred.

It involves inte | ple’s affairs which is sure to be misunderstood. It gains no imme- - diate thanks. It may even cost good young American lives—as when two bluejackets were shot during our efforts io keep excited Huitiens from damaging themselves and others. | It may well be doubted whether that lurid republic, with its lazy and vicious populace, is worth the sacrifice of one American, But a after all, it will not be for the Haitiens that we do what we shall probably have to do.

But we can't have people slanghtor- Bs ing each other and making a murderous farce of republican rule at P our very doors, : So whether it be Cuba or Mexico or Haiti, sooner or later Uncle Sam steps in and with kind, firm hand does what he can.

CCORDING to the Japan Weekly Chronicle ‘There has been scarcely any cargo for the homeward voyage of the two steamers, it is sald, which the Nippon Yusen Kaisha put on the European run. The line has it under i contemplation to send six of the ten steamers round to New York so as to carry Japan cargo from eastern American ports “by way of Panama. Since American steamship companies are driven out of business by the laws of their own nation nobody can wonder that Japan turns naturally to American ports for a chance to expand her carrying trade. r are Japanese merchants and manufacturers asleep. On the contrary they are spreading Japanese goods over the entire Orient, according to the Singapore correspondent of the New York Times, with a zeal and thoroughness that leaves former German and Aus- East. British manufacturers realize that they too are in grave dan- ger of being crowded out. ‘a Japan has even essayed to compete with such an essen- tially British industry textiles. Cloths manufactured in Japanese mills are now teing marketed in Bombay, Calcutta and Singapore, and are finding a ready sale owing to their a . _ low prices. Imports of Japanese beer into India for the first - quarter of 1915 increased 5,000 per cent. over the similar period of the previous year, Commercial firms in the far East admit openly that Japanese goods have come to stay, While Japan is out getting permanent trade the United States is content to gloat over a few showy war orders that can at best be only transient. While this country talks about pushing its goods in the Orient it lets its last ships disappear from the Pacific, We call ourselves a great commercial nation.

Things You Should Know Heat Stroke va. Sunstroke. HESE two words are used care- lessly in regard to two dis- tinetly different conditions, Heat stroke or heat prostration may be experienced indoors and on a cloudy day, when extreme heat with humidity prevails, and it may occur jee easily during the night as in the daytime, « Sunstroke, however, is always caused by the direct action of the sun—probably by its ultra violet rays. Baseball players, soldiers, har- vesters and builders are subject to true sun stroke. Each kind of prostration has its Jown peculiar symptoms, and it is not always easy to distinguish between them, Heat prostration is usually a very sudden attack—the person falls jUnconscious—or it may be accompa- nied by nausea and even by delirium, The breath comes in short gasps and \the skin is flushed and very hot. There may be present a very feeble or a bounding pulse, The first thing to do is to send for 4 doctor, who will begin to reduce the body's temperature. The body is placed in a cold bath, to which ice is added from time to time to keep it very cold, It is necessary during such a bath that the patient's hands and feet be constantly rubbed, #o that no internal congestion will follow, Should jne bathtub be available cold water and spray have been found useful. When the body's temperature 1s/| nearly normal the patient should be put to bed, In case of sunstroke the person| looks quite different. The skin is moist, and perhaps quite cool; the reathing is rapid, the fever ther- nometer revealing lttle or no fever, whereas in heat stroke it often re-| cords 116 degrees. In sunstroke the temperature ts sometimes even below normal. A racking headache often accom- panies sun stroke, while ‘convulsions and even insensibility may be presen Quite different treatment 1s require ‘One suffering from — sunstroke should be laid in a cool place—out or | {ndoors—and covered with ,blankets, | after loosening the clothing.

N the fall a big public question is to be decided—Shall women I vote? The answer is momentous to thousands of women throughout the State. These women are bending every energy in the direction of success. On the other hand, there are hundreds of women diametrically opposed to the measure. Whatever the result may be, one thing is certain: the controversy is carried on with dig- nity, compared with that in other States, to say nothing of other countries. Nowhere has there been manifested such a clean-cut and well- conducted crusade for a human principle, affecting the family and ' the public at large. There is no stone-throwing or destroying of pre vate property, nor even literary mud-slinging, as was evident else’ where, The public prints, on either side of the argument, contain ne heated or fanatic outbursts against personalities. It is a striking evidence of the calibre of women that progress is developing. The hair-pulling days are over. Women meet each other and discuss their controversies as man to man. It is one monumental argument of their ability to cope with big community problems which formerly were entirely within man’s pre- cinct. Credit is due the women of New York in handling this political question. Thus far they are to be congratulated.

ARON DE TRENCK had dared to flirt with the Princess Amelia, sister of the Prussian King. For this offense he had won the King’s deathless hatred. And on a trumped-up charge of treason the gallant Baron was cast {n a cell of the grim Glatz prison. For a solld year Trenck abode there. By the end of that time his jallors were mental wrecks from the trouble he had caused them. He was forever attempting to escape. And every time he hit on some utterly new ingenious trick that no one had foreseen. At news of these repeated attempts the Prussian King was furious, an@ finally he ordered that the Baron ‘be kept in @ specially constructed cell and watched day and night. So many precautions were taken that !t seemed humanly impossible for the captive to get away. Yet, a few weeks later, one of the Baron's hundred attempts met with success, Through the help of a sympathizer ho escaped, eluded pursuit and after many perilous adventures crossed the Russian frontier to safety, When the King of Prussia heard that his victim was free and was beyond the reach of recapture he swore a mighty oath to get Trenck into his power again at whafever cost. And, etraightway, a throng of Prussians sought to win the reward and to curry royal favor by bringing Trenck, im chains, te Berlin. > Trenck knew nothing of their plans. He was very comfortable where he was, and he aupposed his danger was past. He ee~ cured a commission in the Russian army and presently went for a visit tee town not far from the frontier between Russia and Prusata, There he chanced to meet an interesting young Prussian officer, Lieut, Henry, who was on leave of absence from his regiment. Trenck and Henry struck up a jolly friendship and were datly in each other’s company. The lieutenant, one evening, told the Baron about an inn he had chanced to discover at the nearby village of Langfuhr, where wonderful wine could be bought and Where the cooking was beyond compare, At once Trenck demanded to be taken to this peerless inn. arranged that the two friends should ride there the next day. Baron de Trenck’s valet, early next morning, came hurrying to hie master’s room after a chat with Henry's servant and exclaimed in terror: “Your Excellency, Langfuhr is on Prussian soil, Elght Prusstan eol- diers will be hiding there to-day. As soon as Your Excellency sets foot in the inn they and Lieut. Henry will overpower you and carry you off to Berlin!” “A clever id than I dared hope.” As Trenck and Henry dismounted tn front of the Langfuhr inn, a few hours later, the Lieutenant seized his guest roughly by the arm and shouted: “Soldiers! In Prussia’s name, seize him! Trenck, with a laugh, shook off the betrayer's grip and called ov “Soldiers! In Russia's name, get rid of these kidnappers for me!” As the eight Prussians dashed out of the inn a squad of Russian soldiers sprang to their feet from the shelter of a wheat fleld across the road—where Trenck had had them stationed—and charged the Ger- mans, Within four minutes the Prussians were prisr oners. ? Trenck ordered Henry to draw his sword and de- Derr" fond his worthless life, Henry, in mortal terror, begged for mercy. Trenck, instead of killing the coward, merely horsewhipped him and sent him on his way, Then, turning to his valet, the Baron sald im explanation: “You see, real safety is found by facing danger, dodge it!” Enwwawanaaamanal A Monarch’ Revenge-Oath.
