attack by even moderate forces land. ing from ships.
 With view to correcting this de feet, lines of land defense works have been laid out and necessary in. structions prepared for their prompt construction in case of threatened war. In future construction much more attention will be devoted to making each individual group of works reasonably secure against land attack, even though unsupported by troops other than it's own garrison.
 This whole question brings up very forcibly the folly of depending upon fortresses alone. The real pur- pose of seacoast defenses is to ore. vent hostile fleets from bombarding cities behind them. Their guns are of heavy type necessarily, too heavy in most instances for work against troops. Their function is to fight ar. mored ships. Their Hanks and rears must be protected by mobile troops, as must the cities which lie behind them, in case the enemy decides to land at point outside the range of the guns and make his attack upon a city from point overland.
 "The department is now considering the installation of guns up to six-inch caliber, with all around fire, with view to helping out in the defense of the works from land attack, and it has paid more attention than heretofore to the construction of batteries which have well thought-out and prepared system of defense against land at tack"

"Exploiters" Treated at Length.

"The Exploiters" and the ramifica- tions of their traffic is treated at length. By means of money and shrewdness, says tAe report, the traf- fickers usually evade the law.
 Mir Kneeland argues, contrary to the expressed views of so many inves- tigating bodies, that girls do nos as a general thing take up the life of shame because of the pinch of pow erty. He holds that oftener they are the victims in their ignorance of the agents of commercialized vice.
 Tt is idle" he says, 'to explain away the phenomena on the ground that they are the results of the inev- itable weakness of human nature; hu- man weakness would demand far few er and less horrible sacrifices
 Most of the wreckage, and the worst of 1t, is due to persistent, cun- ming and unprincipled exploitation; to the banding together in infamous en- terprises of madame, procurer, brothel keeper and liquor vendor, to carry on deliberately a cold blooded traffic for their joint profit, a traffic, be it added, from which the girl involved procures at the most, with few exceptions, her bare subsistence, and that only so long as she has trade value"

ART IMPORTS SHOW
 A LARGE |NCR EASE
RECORD UNDER FREE LIST FOR WORKS 20 YEARS OLD; TOTAL
 IN 1900 ONLY $2,ooo,oOo.
MORE LUXURlES THAN EVER
Increase of $24,ooo,0oo in Diamonds Brought in-$7, ,5oo,ooo for Wine,
 $95OO.O00 for Feathers

Washington, May 2p.-The lmporta- ton of luxuries into the Unlted States the last nine months showed decided increase over that of the correspond ing period last year. The value of art works, precious stones, laces, feathers, perfumeries, cigars and wines for the fiscal year ending June will be greater than ever before.
 A statement issued by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce says that the value of art works i'm ported during the first nine months of the current fiscal year is over $50,- 000,0O0, as compared with less than S30,000, 900 for the corresponding months of last year, and about $2O,- O0O,000 in the same months of 1911 ard 1910. This is a new high record.
 Diamond Importation.
 Importations of diamonds and other precious stones amounted to about S35,O00,000 this year, as against $30,- 000,000 in each of the two preceding years. This total has been exceeded
  were abnormally large by reason of the light importations of 1908 and 1909.
 Laces, embroideries and other arti- cles of this class show a total for the nine months amounting to about S36,- O00,0O0, slightly less than for the cor responding months of 1912. but more than in 1911.
 Wines imported amounted about S7,5O0, ,OO0. an increase of about $500,- 900 over last year.
 Imports of feathers natural and ar tificial, reached $9,500,000 this year, as against $6,250000 last year, ostrich feathers alone showing a gain of about s2,O00,0O0.
 Some striking increases are shown by comparison of the value of the Imports of this general class for the first nine months of this year with the Imports for the corresponding period of 1900
 first nine months of the fiscal year 1900 were valued at only little over s2,O00, ,O00, as compared with s50,000,- 900 in 1913. The increase in this class has occurred since the enactment of the existing tariff law, which placed art works 20 years old and over on the free list.
 Diamonds and other precious stones for 1900 show total importation of s11 ,000 900, compared with $35 100000 for this year, and common laces and embroideries $15 5,500,000 value h 1900, against $30,000,000 for 1913.

Exposes Massage Parlors."

Aside from series of chapters deal ing with the operation of notorious re- sorts throughout the city, the report treats of the dance hall evil and of the alarming spread of the so-called massage parlors.
 lover 300 of these exist in the city" says the report. "and in many of them not the slightest effort was made to cloak the immoral nature of the business.
 "The public dance hall was found to justify the worst that had been said of it. Of 75 dances reported on only five were characterized by the investi- gators as decent Nor are these dances attended only by hardened profiigates.
 Young girls-some innocent-oth- CTS, if not wholly innocent, at any rate not wholly depraved, and young men not yet altogether vicious, attend the gatherings in search of amuse- ment and change. Many are innocent working girls who seek legitimatt recreation The sinister element in attendance is the hired cadets, who attend with the cold-blooded purpose of finding new subjects of debauchery and of subsequent exploitation for gain"

ROCKEFELLER INVESTIGATOR ASSERT PINCH OF POVERTY

b, SLAVES IN NEW YORK
Men and Women in Combine or Trust, Recruiting and Controlling the Traffic-Natural Weak
 ness Not Blamed.

New York, May 20.-"The pinch of poverty is not to blame for the social evil and it's spread, according to an abstract of report by the Bureau of Social Hygiene, reviewing an investi- gation covering 10 months. >"Persis- tent cunning and unprincipled efforts" of men who first ensnare the women and girls and then exploit them, is given in the report as the chief cause for the prevalence of vice. census showing there are 15,000 women in the underworld in the borough of Manhattan alone, is included
 The report is made by George J. Kneeland, special investigator, and in- cludes the reports of a number of men and women investigators, with a foreword by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who is chairman of the bureau.
 The report suggests no remedies, fixes no responsibilities. That phase is to be dealt with later on. It pur- ports merely to describe accurately commercialized vice conditions in New York City with the sole purpose of bringing out the facts" The hope is expressed that subsequently, a satis- factory policy to check the evil may be worked out
 Future reports will deal with con- ditions in other large cities in Amer ica and with methods and their re- suits of combating the problem in Europe. Existing preventive, reforma- tive and corrective agencies in New York are described as wholly made quate to their task.
