treasury loan of SlOO,OO0OOO which
the Imperial Government has just
attempted to float has failed, only
S42, 100000 being offered. The set
back for the government is rendered
especially significant by the fact that
it was the first time that any such
thing is having its legitimate ef-
fects. Runs" are being made on
many of the savings banks, several
banks have collapsed, mills are
shortening their hours of work or
closing altogether, and the mercan-
tile houses and the places of amuse-
ment are feeling the pressure on
hard times.
Some of our inanciers are say
ing that panic i'll Germany would
have no effect on the United States.
They are mistaken. Germany is
such a large country, and all the
big nations are linked so closely to-
gether in these modern days, that
setback for it, or for any of them,
would, for time, cause loss to all
Germany's troubles have begun to
register themselves on some of our
speculative boards already. During
the Morocco scare of 1911, when
Great Britain and France withdrew
their credits from Germany, Berlin
made an appeal to the United States
for relief, and the call was sinstantly
needed. 1t was said at the time
that the United States shipped
Sl25, 100000 to Germany in that cri-
sis. Germany weathered the storm
successfully. Probably we will be
called upon now for a large gold
loan, but as we have been furnishing
many millions of that metal to Eu-
rope and South America recently,
we may not be able to contribute
so much as we did two years ago.

GERMANY IN A FINANCIAL
PERIL.

Once more Germany's monetary
troubles create alarm throughout the
world. The fear is not quite as
acute as it was two years ago, when
the Morocco dispute carried a po-
tent of war with France and Eng
land, but it is great enough to at
tract the attention of the Internal
ional bankers everywhere, and to
have some effect on every bourse
from Berlin to New York. For the
past two days it has affected prices
adversely on the New York Stock
Exchange. There is possibility
that it will cause the directors of
the Bank of England to increase
their discount rate at their meeting
today. The settlements in Berlin
on April l. preparations for which
have been under way for two weeks
are looked forward to with much
concern.
One of the immediate causes of
Germany's present financial scare is
that it is living beyond its means.
Its vast military burden is taking
effect. An addition of $250,0OO,O0O

just been decided upon as a means
of meeting the outlay necessitated
by the increase in its army strength

WARNING TO LATIN AMERICA

Tradition and example speak
through the Statement; just issued
by President Wilson outlining the
attitude which the United States
will maintain toward the Latin
American republics. Mr.. Wilson's
course was marked out for him by
long line OF predecessors. 1t was
clearly and emphatically emphasized
by Mr.. Taft After condemning
disorder, personal intrigue and de-
fance of constitutional rights" the
president adds: 1--WE can have no
sympathy with those who seek to
seize the power of government to
advance their own personal interests
or ambition We are the friends of
peace. but we know there can be no
lasting or stable peace in such cir
cumstances"
1t is well that the Latin-American
countries be warned, right at the
outset in the change of government
at Washington, that there will be

ON SHAVING AND BEING
SHAVED.

The sizzling light of publicity that
beats upon the President has spread
abroad the important information,
that on the morning of his inau-
guration. President Wilson shaved
himself with an old fashioned razor
after his custom.
The average man looks at a presi-
dent as always surrounded by a GER
tain grandeur of official service He
imagines Jackets and menials wait
ing at every turn to hand him his
hat or open the door for him, and
may not think of him as shaving
himself Yet the number of public
men who perform this intimate and
personal task for themselves is
probably larger than ever before.
The habit of joining the line at
the BARRIERS shop for a daily or
semi-weekly shave used to be more
common i'll the more leisurely- days
OF years ago The clean luxury OF
the BARRIERS manipulation had a GER
tain restfulness. The BARRIERS shop
was a free parliament of human in
terest. 1t served the function for
the village or city man that the
cross roads store provided for the
countryman. The give and take OF
congenial spirits was an incident of
the days program not to be neg
lected.
The modern business man finds
that the time spent in waiting his
turn is hard to gain in the stress
of modern life. II he be very
wealthy and have as his man" a
servant who is a trained barbery
the daily shave continues to be
luxury that can be enjoyed without
loss of time.
But probably the great majority
of Americans who have acquired
wealth or fame do not take kindly
to the fussy attentions of a valet.
The idea of having a trained barber
in the house to perform this daily
task is as repugnant as hiring a
man to wash your face So it hap
pens that the busy, hustling cap
tain of industry or head of a state
may be quite as likely to shave him
self mornings as was the obscure
village storekeeper of a generation
ago. 1t is part of the hustle of
modern life

forced results OF an actual insult
ficiency of wages to support life in
decency and in the manner the ma
ture of the employment demands
which are being considered just
now, and they cannot be dealt with
on the average principle. The wage
OF each girl stands by itself. 1t is
the only one she can use. The girl
drawing IS week may combine
with the one. drawing $50, statistic
ally, but she cannot do so actually.
She must live on her own S..
Therefore, talk OF the average
wages paid in an establishment does
not reach the heart of the matter.
The figures quoted in reports Of
the Chicago Investigation go to
show that IS week is an absolute
minimum for mere existence of a
girl living entirely upon her own
income They seem TO make no pro-
vision for clothing, shoes and hats.
Girls naturally desire to be neatly
and becomingly dressed. 1t takes
money TO buy hats. suits. waists,
shoes, and the. long list OF things
necessary to girls wardrobe This
can scarcely be done on what is
given as the average wages. Ger
tainly it cannot be done by those
who receive anything below the av-
eragc Fortunately for most of
them, they live at home, and are
not entirely dependent upon their
earnings for these things woman
must have which are not included
in the schedule of necessary ex-
penses. 1t is the unfortunate girl
who does not have such a home
to supplement her income who
must be considered in determining
the suficiency of wages.
1t seems clear that out OF this
and discussion must
come a generally accepted standard
OF the necessary minimum wage.
below which no girl who supports
herself can be expected to go and
remain the girl she undoubtedly
earnestly desires to be. To her no
doctrine of averages can be applied.
There is a point below which
girls wages should not fall. If this
point can be definitely determined
and ii employers can be induced to
adopt it as a standard, something
which the kindly and earnest ex-
pressions Of most Of them indicate
is likely, much good will result from
the investigation and agitation.

THE FALLACY OF AVERAGES

In considering the question of the
suficiency of wages for women we
are apt to fall victims to the doc
trine of averages. That insufficient
wages create a condition which
leads to lamentable results is con-
ceded on all sides. Those results
often come, we are only too well
aware, when wages are sufficient for
actual living, but not for much else
in the way of amusement and neat

SECRETARY BRYAN ON DIS
ARMAMENT.

On his way to Washington Mr.
Bryan halted at Raleigh to deliver
Sunday address on Peace" hav-
ing accepted an invitation from the
North Carolina Peace Conference
in session there. Mr.. Bryan had
an unusually large audience, as
might have been expected from
the fact that he was about to be-
come secretary of state, the head of
the department dealing directly
with international relations. He ar
gued at Raleigh that it is the i'm
perative duty OF the United States
to cooperate in every possible way
with other wor1d-powers to further
the world-campaign for peace. The
administration just closed was &C
tive in this direction, even beyond
the average sentiment of the coun-
try But Mr.. Bryan went further
by proposing that the United States
should set j shining example OF
disarmament and declared that
this nation is peculiarly fitted in
standing and location to take this
stand boldly"
II Mr.. Bryan means that this
country is we'll located to defend
itself against invasion there is, geo
graphically. some degree of truth in
his theory But the new secretary
of state should tell how the prin-
ciples of the Monroe doctrine can
be maintained by nation dissrmed
He recommends a bold stand for
disarmament. The idea conveyed
is that the way. to disarm is to
disarm, reduce army and navy. and
encourage young Americans to join
peace societies rather than take the
training of the National Guard or
enlist for service with the busy
fleets that are now assigned to our
Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Eu-
ropean powers are not disarming.
They are adding to their battleship
strength and charging their armies
on an active footing. Mr., Bryan
has had some large disappointments
as a theorizer and has not before
carried serious national RESPONSE
bilities. 1t is probable that the
new Congress, if not the new cab
met, will stop his disarmament talk.

no change of attitude there toward
our neighbors to the south of us.
The warming is issued to all the ma
tons between the Rio Grande and
the Straits of Magellan, including
Cuba 1t will be read with some
interest in the City of Mexico, Man
aqua, Bogota, Carcas, Havana, and
all the other capitals of the southern
half of the hemisphere. We want
peace in all those countries. The
hostility which we showed toward
Spain for the disturbances in Cuba
in 1858, and the influence which
we used against Castro in Vene-
zueIa and Zelaya in Nicaragua few
years later, reflect feeling which
we still hold for all disturbers all
over Latin America We decline to
interfere in the internal affairs of
any of those countries, as we show
ed in the case of Mexico in all the
instructions beginning with that of
the latter part of 1910 against Diaz,
but we insist that at least sufficient
order be maintained to enable their
governments to protect the lives
and the property of Americans and
all other foreigners. We do this
in obedience to the elemental de
mands of humanity, as well as in de-
tense of the Monroe principle.
Surprise need not be felt at the
pronunciamento just issued by Presi-
dent Wilson No other course was
open to him, The practice Of
many decades spoke through the
temperate words which he employ
ed Some of President Wilson's
forerunners would have used words
which had more punch" in them
than is in those which the present
executive has employed, but the
language is backed up by specific
examples which make its meaning
clear to all whom it may concern
No departure will be made from the
course which has been pursued in
Mexico and elsewhere on the CONT
nent Our active intervention in
Cuba and Nicaragua in 1912, when
the presidents of those countries
asked US to step in to protect Am

they have done more than once in

THE CARIBBEAN POLICY.

The country has watched with in
tercst for the announcement of the
policy of the new administration to-
ward the Latin-American countries.
When Secretary of State BRYAN was
asked about it, he replied by reading
a speech he had delivered thirteen
years ago, which explained about as
much as though he had read the
Ten Commandments to the cores
pondents.
But with President Wilson it was
different He has again announced
that he is the man who will define
the policies of his administration.
In a formal statement, he has made
it clear that the policy of the
United States will continue along
the lines of the Roosevelt and Taft
administrations Everything pos
sible will be done to gain and re-
tain the confidence of the Latin
peoples, but there is an unmistak
able inference that disorders and
rebellions, where no justification ex-
lists, will not be countenanced by
the United States.
But actions by Mr.. Wilson speak
much more distinctly than his
words. While he is master of the
English language, usually he is SO.
guarded in his expression that much
of his meaning must be guessed at
But when he acts, there is no lack
of defniteness OF purpose.
When it was decided to leave "a
strong American naval force within
striking distance of the trouble zone.
Mr., Wilson indicated clearly that
10
the Central American republics are
not to be allowed to return TO their
old pastime of inshrrecting two
or three times year, .S
Levying tribute OH American citi-
zens and throwing them in prison,
sometimes brutally whipping and
killing them, was sport for the des-
pots who ruled for a short time,
collected few millions loot and
then escaped to Paris to live out
their lives of debauchery, with no
fear of punishment for their crimes.
Because the United States inter-
fered and sent few of those GRIM
inals scurrying out OF the country, |
a wall arose against our bullying |
tactics. 1t was claimed Wilson
would not intervene, that the Carib-
bean countries could revolute to
their hearts content without fear
of those peppery and positive little
notes from Knox, usually followed
by a warship loaded with marines
and bluejackets.
But President Wilson. in most
diplomatic language and by the re-
tention of the naval force near the
ports of those countries, has let If
be known that he does not propose
TO countenance anarchy even though |
the people OF the country want it.
