Secretary Shaw's Address.
After acknowledging the applause that
greeted his introduction, Secretary Shaw
country and what 1t means. He devoted
himself particularly to demonstration of
the need of a larger merchant marine.
THE nations of the earth sell each other
ten billion dollars worth of merchandise
per annum, one-eighth of which originates
in the United States and one-ninth finds
American ports for It's consumption With
eighty or more countries selling ten billions
worth of merchandise to each other, Amer
leans sell to each other practically twenty
five billions worth of goods. The countries
of the world come here for food. cotton
minerals, petroleum, raw material of all
kinds and the world comes to get 1t In Its
own ships" he said.
THE time IS coming. gentlemen-with our
increasing population more largely urban
than ever with factories multiplying more
rapidly than farms, with limitless manufac-
turing resources and matchless aptitude for
producton-when the United States VIII
need new and important markets. declared
Mr.. Shaw. THE world may come to US
in it's own ships for the products of our
farms and the raw products of our mines,
but it will not come in its own ships for the
finished products OF our factories. The time
is coming when we will need international
bankers and international merchants and
an international merchant marine. l am
well aware that there are some, and they
are not confined to any one party or to any
one locallty-they are prominent in both
parties. and are found on me shores Of
New England and on .-e prairieS west OF
the Mississippi-who urge that we need do
nothing more than gracefully surrender a
portion of our S-5,0oJ,000,OO0 of domestic
commerce, and then, by logic which ]
do not understand. we will get so much
larger share of the worlds $4,000, 000, 900

demand sufficient to keep their factory en-
pfoyed. Does any one doubt that the repre-
sentatives of American transportation COM
panies would do much toward correcting
these defects?
..The United States is the owner of the
Philippine Islands, and these possessions,
plus the Panama canal, plus merchant
marine, would insure to the American peo-
pie somewhat more than their present 10
per cent of the one thousand millions OF
trade from the shores washed by the Pa
cific.
Best Position on Map.
I'VE occupy the best position on the
map" said Secretary Shaw, In conclusion.
I'VE have the most convenient form
of mony in the world We speak the
language of commerce. Our farms pro-
duce more than the farms of any other
country. Our mines yield gold literally by
the carload. silver by the train load, and
there Is unloaded on the shores of single
commonwealth mcre iron ore than any
other country produces. Our forests yleia
one hundred million feet of lumber for
every day of the calendar year. Our fac
tories turn out more finished products than
all the factories of Great Britain and Ger
many combined by more than three thou
sand millions every twelve months. we
transport this matchless product of farm
and factory, forest and mine, from the In
terror to the sea at one-third what similar
services cost anywhere else beneath the
L
along the coast in better vessels on quicker
time and at cheaper rates than others. But
at our coast line we are brought to an alb
rupt halt Here we are no longer indepen-
dent. Our foreign commerce is four times
as large as forty years ago. but we carry
in our own ships only one-third as many
gross tons as forty years ago. We have
protected and encouraged every interest
but our merchant marine, and every pro-
tected interest has f1ourished. We have
every facility for International commerce
except international merchants, interna-
tional bankers and international mer-
chant marine. Shall we not have these? /

Ing of results. not of methods. If we will
but take advantage of our opportunities
we will send these products of farm ana

and make our financial centers the clear

worlds trade
Given an Ovation.
Secretary Shaw was given an ovation
as he went to his seat after he closed his
address. He was compelled to rise several
times after he had been seated to bow his
acknowledgements.
The report of the treasurer, Mr.. Ralph
Van Vechten, was presented when the
meeting proceeded. In his report Mr.. Van
Vechten gave a detailed statement of the
finances of the organization. The report
of the protective committee was also pre-
scented by Mr.. Van Vechten. The work of
this committee was treated briefly in the re-
port of the secretary On the motion OF
Mr.. Mulvane of Kansas, the report was re-
ferred to the auditing committee. Inc re-
port of the executive council was read by
the chairman, Mr.. G. S. Whitson. Mr..
Whitson discussed the reports of the Off

ton of plants and a vast expenditure of
capital had given way to more intelligent
management. In the earlier stages, he said
many of these combinations of industries
which had been swept together under hasti-
ly considered plans, were properly open to
criticism. He believed. however. that evil
dence had accumulated to prove that the
men who had formed these great corpora
tons had shown true wisdom and that the
improvement already foreshadowed in In
come accounts and balance sheets. was but
an indication of what yet may come.
He called attention to the necessity of
ceaselessiy prosecuting the struggle for
foreign markets and said he believed in
CT easing opposition in the way OF duties
would be met after every succeeding meet
ing of the continental parliaments.
The ease with which the financial world
withstood the strain of war which cost
the combatant nations two billions of dol

the world happy. I quite agree with them
that it would make our competitors happy.
But l will not discuss that question. / de-
sire to conine my remarks to the impor-
lance of a merchant marine.
The government gave American ship
owners a monopoly of the coastwise trade,
the Secretary continued, and as a result
we have the largest, cheapest coastwise
trade in the world. The Detroit river floats
more tons of American freight on Ameri-
can-bult steamers owned under the stars
and stripes than all the foreign commerce
that enters London. Liverpool and New
York combined; the government assisted
with subsidies Translate and tranScontl-
mental railways and we have the largest
and cheapest and best railway system in
the world, and the government is now en-
larging its bounty by spending hundreds OF
millions to dig a canal across the 1sthmus
Of Panama. The Secretary then showed
that the distance from San Francisco to
Liverpool around Cape Horn is the same as
from San Francisco to New York by the
same route. With the Panama canal It
will be the same distance from New York
to Hong Kong as 1t is from Liverpool to
Hong Kong. The markets of the world
are being developed, South America and
South Africa are being opened. The coun-
tries of Europe have their eyes on these
places and are establishing banks and
warehouses, as they have already establish
ed fast lines of steamers. The United States
has neither banks or commission houses sor
warehouses within them. nor has 1t means
of communica ton with them except
through old. dilapidated ships, sailing under
foreign flags
Selling American Goods.
The Secretary called attention to the fact
that the usual way of selling American
goods to these places is to send the stuff
to Europe and have 1t shipped from there.
He argued that while II may be true the
means of communication with these places
is ample for the paltry commerce that now
exists the Improvement of means Of COM
munication meant the improvement of the
commerce. Illustrating his remarks with re-
ports as to the development of the cattle

recommendations for changes In the con-
stitution. The first amendment was pro-
posed for the purpose. OF giving the execu-
member from the rolls. At present this
right remains with the association in full

Both Changes Adopted.
Both these changes were submitted to the
association and adopted by a unanimous

Joseph c.. Hendricks of New York and pre-
sent resolutions of regret agreed upon by

Why Oyama Is Commander

Il understand" said an American
friend of mine, the other day, that
the brain of Oyama's camp is General
Kodama and the commanders of the
different army corps. Why was
Oyama placed at the head of them
all?" Field Marshal Oyama is placed
at the head of the Manchurian army
of Nippon because-G) there is no
one who could more fittingly repre-
sent the supreme commander of the
Nippon army and navy, His Majesty
the Emperor, than does Marquis Oya-
ma; (2) because he is the Abraham,
the patriarch, among the soldiers of
Nippon, and because he is the heroic
tradition of the Satsuma samurai in a
genial and living personality; (3) be-
cause to him all the chief commanders
under him are as children of his own
rearing; because to him are known
all the strength and foibles of all his
men; because among the living men
fit to take the field there is none who
can act as the master-prompter with
quite as much grace, great good-hu-

The recent disbanding of post OF
the Grand Army of the Republic at
Gloucester, N. j., because of the dwind-
ling away of its membership, has
served as vivid reminder to many
an old veteran of the civil war that
the time is not far distant when the
great order must pass away.
Unlike most organizations of it's
kind, the Grand Army of the Republic
can not be recruited from the de-
scendants of its original members or
from any source save one which is
constantly shrinking. None but SOL
diers, sailors and marines who fought
in the civil war are eligible, and when
all of this dwindling host, survivors of
a conflict which ended forty years ago,
shall have answered the last roll call
no others can take their places.
The Grand Army of the Republic
was started in 1866, the first post be-
ing organized at Decatur, ILL.,, in April
of that year by Major B. F. Stephen
son and Capt. John S. Philips, but it's
growth was not at first rapid. 1t was

that Gen. Grant became a member,
