Gone to Europe for Farm and Domestic
Help Mr.. A. F. Trappe, secretary of the
Maryland Bureau of immigration. sailed last
Monday for Europe. to secure farm laborers
and domestic help. Before leaving he said:
This is the best move the State of Mary land
ever made This is the general expression of
farmers applying for blanks for farm help.
According to the number of applications for
laborers in the Office of the Bureau of Immi-
grafton, it seems as if the scarcity of farm labor
is general all over the State.
I'm the last week number of business men
called at the bureau for information in regard
to importing some hands to fill the vacant
places in the manufacturing concerns. From
all appearances the bureau has not sufficient
means to comply with these requests. 1t is
the intention in the first place to alleviate the
wants of the farming sections of the State
and let the future take care of the rest -
MIR. Trappe will go to Bremen, where be will
make arrangements for the return trip in May,
and then proceed to the agricultural section of
Northern Germany, whence he will go to the
Netherlands. cross over to England and visit
Scotland and Ireland. He said that he will
also secure some good dairymen from Switzer-
land. He expects to finish his work in the
first part of May.
He said that be wants to make success of
this undertaking. SO that the next Legislature
can provide for further means to continue the
work.

Trouble Over R. F. D. Service.-A large
number of the patrons of the r f. ID. route at
Owings' Mills, w. NJ. r. R., are excited be-
cause of the discontinuance of the mail service
to their houses since Friday, 8th instant
The question involved is one which may
affect the patrons of other routes in the county.
One of the rules of the department requires
the patrons of rural routes to SO locate their
mail boxes that the carriers can deposit mail
therein without dismounting. Those not COM
plying with this regulation may be deprived
of the delivery service.
The Owings' Mills route includes nearly two
miles of the Baltimore and Reisterstown turn
pike, north of Owings' Mills which is traversed
by the Emory Grove line of trolley cars. The
double tracks of the electric line are located on
the east side of the turnpike and it is impossi-
BILE for the carrier to reach the mail boxes on
that side of the road without leaving his vehi-
Gle. This the carrier, (Mr. Frank Fox had
been doing ever since the route was established
several years ago, until the 9Th inst.
Both the carrier and Mr.. Charles Roemer,
the postmaster at Owings Mills, say they are
acting under instructions from the department.
A patron of the route gave out the informa-
ton that some weeks ago the carrier did not
return from his route on schedule time, miss
ing an important railroad connection. IL Is
believed that the carrier reported to the depart
ment that the dismounting from his vehicle
to accommodate the patrons in question de-
layed the carrying out of his schedule. The
patrons of the route recently received notice
TO comply with the regulation of the depart
ment in regard to the location of their boxes
within ten days or be deprived of the benefits
of the service.
Since Friday these thirty or more families
have been obliged to send to the post Office at
Owiugs' Mills for their mail. Letters have
been written to the department and other
means taken to restore the former service.
MIR. Roemer, who has requested the depart
ment to send an inspector at once to investi-
gate conditions seems as anxious as anyone
that the situation shall be cleared up to the
satisfaction of all concerned.
a meeting was held Wednesday at the home
of Mr.. J. H. Warner, at Pleasant Hill, and
another Thursday eveningat the home of Rev.
Harry Boggs. A petition requests that the

Japan AND OUR FLEET.

Various comments of European public'Sts on
,be Pacific cruise of the American fleet were
recently reported in our columns. and some OF
their salient features were briefly discussed
Yesterday printed, as a significant sequel
thereto an impressive symposium OF Japanese
comments on the same topic. These were made
chiefly by the foremost statesmen of Japan OF
both the government and the Opposition though
a few of the chief newspapers were also IN
cluded. and they may fairly be taken as repre-
senting the general mind of Japan Between
the two sets of comments some interesting con-
trasts are to be observed the most notlceab'e
perhaps being that between the diversity OF
European and the unanimity of japanese opn-
ions 1t was not easy TO find two OF the former
which substantially agreed as TO the OBJECT ana
probable effect of the cruise. while it is not easy
TO find two Of the latter which disagree on any
essential point
The gist of japanese comment is that the
cruise is the domestic business of the Cnlted
States and of no other nation, that the object
of il is TO give the feet such practice as could
in no other way be acquired and that there is
no reason whatsoever for Japan TO regard IL
with any other than the kindliest feelings mat
is we need scarcely observe a perfectly correct
attitude for Japan to assume toward the cruise
and it is the which there has been every
reason to expect her to assume Inc occasiohal
remarks of tnOugntIui JdpdltSSe olii,oA' "iA
statesmen such as those of Admiral 1amamoto
when he was in this country. have indicated on
their part judicious appreciation of the CON
duct of the United States toward Japan and
inst comprehension of our motives in all tnat
has been done.
No American ever thinks of nquiring whether
the bulk of Japan's navy is on the eastern OF
the western coast of that empire. or whether lr
is cruising in the direction of Formosa or Sagh-
alien. So the japanese recognize the perfect
right of America to send its feet into any part
of American waters and 10 make It's chleI rem
devious either at the Golden Gate or at Hamp-
ton Roads We have never anticipated any
other japanese sentiments toward the cruise
than lust such as have now been expressed OUT
the public expression of them is none 1he less
| welcome and it should prove entirely reassur-
ing 10 those. if such there be. who have beeh
rayad with vain doubts and fears concerning the
effect of the cruise upon our international rela-
tions.

THE NEW COPYRIGHT PROBLEN.

A striking demonstration is now being given
of the extent TO which hand power and lung
power have been superseded by machinery in
the world Of music. Composers and librettists
have been delegated to oppose the new copyright
bill. which exempts from the operation Of copy
right protection all reproductions of music
and verses made for mechanical piano players
or monographs. Mr.. Victor Herbert, one of
the delegation opposing the measure, says that,
far from being trivial matter, the proposed
favor to manufacturers of machine melody and
song would be serious infringement upon the
rights of composers. "Phonograph records and
perforated rolls he declares, 'have become the
most important form of reproducing musical
compositions and are more and more displac-
ling sheet music, which latter the composers
have thus far relied for sustenance and re-
ward"
Happily. the problem raised by the spread of
machine music is not nearly serious diff
ficult as that created by the displacement of
hand labor by mechanical devices in the indus
trial world. Nor can it ever become so until
Yankee wizard invents machine which COM
poses sonatas, popular songs and waltzes while
you wait. So long as song and melody writer's
produce music for the world 1t is simple thing
TO guarantee them fair rewards for their
achievements. Every author should have linn
tied control over all reproductions of his works
So long as a reproduction purports to be true
one (not an adaptation) the law should regard
as immaterial all differences or novelties in the
form or method of its manufacture. Ii is doubt
less easy for lawyer to draw subtle distinc-
ment or metal serving as part Of large, COM

.STTND4Y LECTURES

II is not unlikely that the problem OF SUNDAY
amusements would solve itself in large measure
If the city were to adopt the policy recently
ratified bv the Board of Aldermen when MI
Grifenhagen's resolution was passed requesting
the Board of Education to offer free lectures
on Sunday in the public schools. Inc Sunuay
closing question is veXed one, not merely pe-
cause men cannot agree upon the proprlely OF
vaudeville but also because no satlSiaclor!
substitute has been provided for all the amuse-
ments and entertainments prohibited on the
first day of the week. Many liberal minded
champions of a closed Sunday have overlooked
this fact Although they penetrate the faliacy or
tbe vaudeville managers and others about Sun
day being the poor workingman's only chance
to visit the theatre they do not realize now
vast q number of New Workers, chiefly foreign
horn laborers and their families lndolently ana
listlessly spend nine Sundays out or every ten
in lnattractive tenements or In the back rooms
of the irrepresSible saloons. These multltudes
who are scarcely represented in the throngs OF
Sunday theatregoers, are really the ones whose
interests ought to be considered first Ihe task
of suppressing undesirable performances Is
trifing in comparison with that Of supplying
the right sort to the masses. 1t is this larger
part of the problem which the introduction of
free Sunday lectures would materially help
toward solution.
Were all the 165 lecture centres now main
tanned by the Board of Education opened on
Sunday were musical recitals and popular dis
courses on untechnical subjects offered, the at
tendance at churches, theatres, museums and
other institutions would not be materially
diminished but a new world Of people would
be reached which now namely loters away its
day of rest.
