says a dispatch from Trenton. The
young men are running up telephone
poles and stringing wires as nimbly as
before, and the hello girls are proud OF
their victory.
They expressed their displeasure at
the company's action. The sympathy
Of the patrons Of the line was with the
girls, although it was evident the serV-
Ice was not 81 good.
v "We are willing to not talk with the
linemen over the wire," said Miss Eta

is one of the most expert operators in
the telephone company's employ. eve

TRIUMPH OF ARBITRATION

The permanent court of arbitra-
ton, established by The Hague con-
vention, to which fifteen nations
sent representatives, is three years
old, and in all that time only one
case has been submitted to it. 1t has
been eclipsed and forgotten, although
not formally repudiated. It con-
tinued to exist in theory, but not in
fact, at least not as a working court.
Many international disputes arise in
three years, but only n of them
was brought before the chief court Of
the world-tke only worlds court,
and that one case related to the dis
tributiOn of a religious fund.
Now that the far-reaching Vene-
zuelan case is to be submitted to The
Hague court, its prestige and its use
fulness will become known and con-
fessed, and it may in time transact
the great business it was established
to transact. The Venezuelan case is
of deep interest to all Latin America
at least, and incidentally to this
country on account of the Monroe
doctrine. All the Latin American
countries are loaded with debts of
all sorts, and the coming decision of
The Hague court will come home to
every one of them. The Calvo doc
trine is clearly involved, and it will
either be accepted or rejected. The
case in its every aspect is a deeply
important one, and all concerned,
including this country, should be
glad it is to be decided by The
Hague court.
It is not to much to say that the
submission of the Venezuelan case to
the permanent court is a turning
point in the worlds history. All
wars will not be abolished, for a war
like thai OF the Beers cannot De ar
bitrated, but fully nine-tenths of the
disputes of nations can be and should
be settled by arbitration. England
and Germany and Venezuela have
done the world a great service by
reviving and revivitying arbitration
and its great court, affording it a
chance for usefulness, and displaying
to all mankind at the beginning of
the twentieth century the need of a
worlds court for peace purposes.

GERMANYs INDUSTRIES.

BerIiner TagebIatt Tells of De-
pressed Condition.
Consul Monaghan sends to the state
department at Washington from Chem
nitz extracts from an article in the
Berliner Tageblatt reviewing prevail
ing conditions in the various branches
of industry In Germany as follows:
1.-THE whole iron industry is in a state
Of depression. Certain branches are
comparatively occupied, but the bust
ness cannot be compared with that Oh
former years. Factories for the pro-
duction Of railroad supplies seem to
be the busiest, but even they have not
as manyo orders as last year. The small
er iron Industries are suffering from a
falling off in exports. The same is
true Of machine factories. They are
running on short time, and great num-
fbers of workmen have been diSchargs
ed.
even the textile industries are no
exception. Wherever mills are running
1t Is generally at the cost Of the price
Of the wares. This lowering Of the
price Of manufactures is overcome by
decreasing the wages Of the employ

rather than remain idle. The philan-
thropist puts the serious question to
himself. What conditions will we meet
when, through an unwise tariff policy,
labor becomes less in demand and at
the same time the most necessary ar
ticles of food become dearer?
Manufacturers in the cotton spin
ming industry have lately been compel
led to limit their production more and
more. The fax spinners were also
forced to work on short time owing to
the high price of fax and the low price
of the ready article. Trade is not good
In the wooden spinning industry, but
the worsted spinners are tolerably
busy. In other weaving branches there
Is a scarcity of orders.
1.-THE lace and embroidery manufac.
turers in the Voigtland and Rheinland
+ still occupied, but business is very
unsatisfactory.
Conditions are the same in the cleo.

The freshman girls at Olivet college,

this fact. The witnesses are minus

stuff a large sofa pillow. They also
have a choice collection of collars, coat

The freshman girls were giving a par

well received and elected numerous
qestions The professor suggested
that inasmuch as one of the important
reasons for cultivation was to con-
serve moisture-that where moisture
was so abundant the seeding of the
orchard to clover might be an adj
vantage.
Prof. Booth is a careful and conser-
vative speaker and he advised the
farmers to familiarize themselves
with principles of and reasons for cul-
tivation, study local conditions and
settle for themselves the extent and
manner of cultivation that would best
serve i.leir needs. The dryer the
season the later the cultivation should
be continued. Shallow cultivation just
sufficient to keep a dust blanket on
the surface would conserve moisture.
