BIG DEMAND FOR RUBBER.
Philippines Depended Upon to Furnish

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
 In these times of electrical development the worlds supply of India rubber be- comes a serious question, which Is in no wise lessened by the fact that large quan- titles of this product are being used in the manufacture of tubing for the air brakes with which all first-class railways are equipping their rolling stock, and by the immense demand caused by the manu- facture of rubber tires for carriages and bicycles The late James G. Blaine, in his day, when these industries were in their infancy, so ito speak, was able to peer far enough into the future to see that the supply then in sight would not be sufficient to meet the demand.
 During his term of office as secretary of state he appointed J. Orton Kerbey an electrical expert, as well as a news paper correspondent. as consul to Para, Brazil, charging him to make an examina- tion of the source of supply of rubber along the banks of the Amazon river, from which the main part of the rubber

F NapoIeaN and MorsaN ~4~
BY MAURICE M. HINTON.

Two centuries, the nineteenth and the twentieth, opened with designs upon Eng land. Napoleon and Morgan, each fa- nous for fighting in his own way, one hundred years apart, planned campaigns having a common object In view, name- ly, the subjugation of England.
 Tn the light of experience Napoleon cuts a melodramatio figure, and must be written down on the records of time as a dire failure, had he lived in the time of Hannibal, Alarac, or even of Charles ", his military genius might have borne per- manent fruit; but, as 1t was, he was son of Mars, living in a period about to be dominated by Mercury. He emulated the skyrocket that fastens upon itself the attention of all observers, bursts with starry msgnificence in high heaven and falls back to earth charred piece of cardboard and a stick.
 In the broad sunlight of today, Pier pont Morgan. a veritable wizard of flnance a manipulator of the greatest forces of our own times, stands the in- carnation of the spirit of the age, un- matched, unrivalled. A monarch in his own country, his pen, 1t has been seen, has affected the lives of thousands who grub in the abyses of the earth for coal, the farmer on his acres recently re- claimed from the virgin prairie and the toiling millions in factory, at forge and the far-reaching rail. The imagination cannot circumscribe the field of his in- uence.
 What Napoleon failed to do by the arts
  pieces the defeat of the government on this awful showing would be a matter of less than sixty days, for the whole coun- try Is sick of the war, and Is willing to make peace at almost any price short of national dishonor. Chamberlainism and Rhodeism have indeed been the two most costly "isms' that have ever afflicted the British nation. Thousands of lives have have been lost in one of the most un- just and iniquitous wars ever entered up- on, many more thousands have been dis abled for life, the national debt has been enormously increased while the military prestige of the nation has been reduced to the very lowest point it has touched In more than five hundred years. And the end Is not yet.

of war, Pierpont Morgan, 1t Is believed, will do by the arts of peace. A people need not be captured by bayonets and cannon. Such is the relic of the past; the up-to date method is the control of industries of markets, of labor. What Morgan has done at home he is now en- gagged in doing abroad.
 The campaign in England this summer has been a remarkable one, and the re- turn of the campaigners an event. Their departure from London in special train provided for their accommodation and for their retinue of servants caused Lon doners to congregate at the station. The Britons gazed on Morgan and his mar shals with faces bespeaking awe. The Deutschland, with decks reserved for their exclusive enjoyment, with an uncom- ing; and all England, with an uncom- fortable feeling about the heart, read of their departure.
 What vast plans and projects were left behind to mature and ripen! What com binations have been perfected; what thrilling clmaxes will be developed. Lon don's streets have been captured. Her transportation business seized, her home markets for steel and iron, for calicoes and prints, are in the hands of Ameri- cans. The estates of England's nobles have become the residences of America's industrial barons, and the money gifts of the same barons stupify the people of England.
 AS time passes and America grows richer, what will be the fate of England? The fleets of Philip were scattered and de- feated; the projects of Napoleon wrought his Waterloo. But the plans of Morgan? Will England rise to the occasion, or will her power fall in the scales of commerce? t<<%%<%<<~<<~<~ used in the United States came. MT. Ker- bey has twice crossed equatorial America by the Amazon and the Andes in search for new rubber lands, and while he has been successful in finding what he was in quest of, the forests in which the rub Der trees are located are practically inac- cessible. This, coupled with the scarcity of labor and the unreliability of conces- sions made by the governments in the South American countries render the prospect for an increase in the supply from this source extremely precarious
 MT. Kerbey looks to the Philippines to supply the deficiency that threatens, as a result of the enormous consumption of this product. The climatic conditions in the Philippines, he says, are favorable to the rubber tree, while the fact that the transportation of the product can be made from the source of supply to this country in ships, instead of having to be packed over long distances, as is the case in South America, will make the Philippines the source of supply in the future. The freight will not be so high, notwithstand- ing the longer distance, and there will be no export duties to pay, as the islands are under the United States government
