Broke Collar Bone.

Marie. ten year old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Wm. Buckett sustained a broken collar bone at the home of the family on Mason Hill Sunday even ing when the little lady stepped back wards from a veranda. Although her fall was a matter of little more than foot, she was thrown in such a man. ner as to sustain the injury told of, Dr. Bledsoe was summoned to re- duce the fracture and yesterday she was reported making as good recov. cry as could be expected.

the fact that Colonel Mosby, the Con-

Our civil war first proved the
effectiveness of the ironclad, torpedo,

THE NEW CONTRABAND

Premier Asquith announced in

pellation by Sir Gilbert Parker, that
oil and copper are to be regarded
as contraband of war by Great Brit
ain. There was no qualification, and
it may be presumed that the Brit
ish navy, acting with the sea power
of her allies, will enforce the new
rule to their utmost ability.
Against this regulation thore will
undoubtedly be violent protest In

to give a defense of interference
with shipments of copper, for in

Neither is at war; neither is the

such shipments, that war is a

BIG IMPORTS YET.

The corrected figures for our Octo-
Der foreign trade give imports of
S137,9s7,77S. This is a very heavy
drop from the great increase which
came with the letting down of the
tariff bars little more than a year
ago.
Yet, compared with very recent
years, the October figures, diminished
as they were by the war, run very
big and very formidable.
II imports, stimulated by the new
tariff to a monthly range between
nearly s158, ,000, 900 in June and more
than s1S2, ,0o0, 900 in March, shot
down to $129, ,OO0, 900 in the first
month of the war, recovered to
$139, 100000 in the second month of
the war, and were short of $13S, ,00O,-
900 in October, the third month of
the war, nevertheless, see how they
overtop imports of recent years when
there was no war, but when there
was tariff to check an inordinate
flow into this country.
As recently as October, 1911, the
imports were less than $4,000, 900.
In 1910 they were S124,O00. 900; in
1909 less than s12s,OOO, 900; in 1908.
echoing the panic, 100000, 900; in
1907 less than S112,000,0O0.
Ten years ago they were less than
S93,OO0,0OO. Fourteen years ago they
were less than $71,0O0,OOO; sixteen
years ago they were only a little
more than s52,0OO,OOO, and eighteen
and nineteen years ago they were
about s50,000,0O0.
In other words, so powerful is the
driving force of the new tariff still
to rush imports into the United
States from all parts of the world
where the terrible war is not an en-
barge, in part or in whole, that those
imports come flooding into our mar
kets as yet with so great sweep as
to obllterate all high-water marks
for every year preceding 1912.

CIVIL WAR LESSONS.

From the time of General Brad
docks ill-fated campaing against the
French and Indians in Fort Duquesne,
American military genius has always
worked along original lines. The
contribution which the aborigines
made toward the education of Euro
pean army officers in that campaign
was their skill in individual fighting.
their ability to take advantage of
natural posts of security, as con-
trasted with the traditional advance
In mass which proved to be SO costly
TO Braddock's expedition. This
method of fighting was not over
looked by the American soldiers in
the Revolution and in the civil war.
In the Boer war the British army
had to learn the lesson of fighting in
open formation at last and a, a ter
rible cost of life, although they might
have seen the value of such tactics
through the lessons of the civil war
if they did not care 20 admit they
were successful in the Revolution
and earlier wars in our country.
Again we pointed 70 Europe how
potent fortress a trench cJuld be,
particularly in such battle of the
trenches as was the siege of Peters,
burg in ten months of 1864-65. And

UP TO CONGRESS.

The only authority which has to
90 with determining the penal policy
of Washington, that has not de-
elared for the indeterminate SEN
tcnce, seems to be Congress. The
rlen who enforce the laws and the
n,en who most intimately study the
Individual and social results of the
operation of the different systems,
are just about unanimous in favor
of the modern and enlightened sys-
tenn of handling the minor criminals.
1t is evident, then, that if Congress
can be sufficiently interested we shall
have some chance to get this legis-
lation. The only way to get Con-
gress properly interested is to get
busy convincing it. 1t will have to
be educated, more Or less; for it
isn't in the business of municipal
administration, or Of studying penal
problems, save as a sideline, and an
unimportant one at that. Congress
could be induced to do a good many
very useful things for Washington,
If Washington would keep Congress
n mind of the good and desirable
hings it needs to have done for it.
One difficulty with the recommends
lions from Washington, however, is
hat some of the supposed repre-
sentatives of public opinion have so
frequently made the wrong kind of
recommendations that Congress isn't
always able to be sure what the
town wants, or what would be good
for it.

A SURGICAL CAPITAL.

To make Washington the surgical
capital of America, and perhaps ul-
timately of the world, is the splendid
program put forward by the Ameri-
can College of Surgeons, as the
crowning work of the gathering
which has been in progress in this
city this week. The convocation has
drawn together great number of
the most famous surgeons of the
country, and work of the widest i'm
portance to the profession has been
accomplished.
1t is proposed that the great CEN
trail surgical institution shall be
placed in Washington, because
Washington is the natural and logi-
cal place for it. The work for such
an institution to perform is obvious: ::
to improve professional standards
and ethics, to uplift the educational
institutions, and to protect the pub
lie against unprofessional and un-
skilled operators. 1t is desired that
an endowment of S1,000,O00 be
raised in order to insure the estab-
'ishment here of the institution that
would make Washington the head
quarters of the great profession.
That the amount will be raised in a
comparatively short time is the con-
fident expectation.
No profession for the amelioration
of living conditions has made such
advances in recent years as surgery.
It's achievements continue year by
year to be more and more the
wonder of men. The field for it's
betterment and extension is yet
wide, and the great standardizing
institution that is now proposed is
greatly needed. That Washington
is to be its seat is one more recog-
milton of the position of this city as
the supremely national municipality
of the country.

that such war munition as copper
is in this generation. cannot be
neutral anywhere. It's neutrality
must always be at least under sus-
picion. When vast quantities of it
are going to Holland. to Italy, to
Denmark; quantities far beyond the
requirements of those countries for
domestic consumption, the presum2-
ton must be that it is really in
tended for Germany and Austria;
and the simplest of common sense
will bear out this presumption. For
the same reason that Germany, when
she goes to war, uses her great mill
tary machine in the most relentless
way, and bends everything else to
the single purpose of victory, so
Great Britain must use her domi-
mating naval force for the purpose
of starving her enemies. That is
the British war game, just as the
irresistible army is Germany's.
The British need not 60 to the
extreme of seizing copper cargoes
and appropriating them, in order to
discourage shipments of that metal
to enemy countries. They will ac-
complish their purpose very we'll if
they seize ships carrying copper,
take them into port, and hold long
and exasperating inquiries to de-
termine whether the copper is really
for neutrals and for purposes of
peace. Killing enough time, and
running up enough expense, in this
way, would serve the effective pur-
pose of making ship owners unwill-
ing to accept copper cargoes.
1t is to be expected that there will
be much protest from interests
which Immediately suffer by reason
of these extensions Of the contra
band list; but if such measures help
to shorten the war-and that is of
course their one purpose-they will
in general way be justified, and
even bring an ultimate advantage
to the very countries that in the be-
ginning seem to suffer from them.

"TIPPERARY."

A very earnest woman writes to
a Philadelphia newspaper that late.
ly she was in London, and saw
the newly enlisted soldiers march.
ing by to the tune of "It's a Long
Long Way to Tipperary." She came
home, and finds the young folks at
the Bellevue-Stratford dancing riot
ously to those same strains. So she
protests:
No one has enjoyed dancing more
completely than / have but those OF
us who must feel 1t in our own minds
and hearts to reap its fullest joys,
cannot dance to the same tune to which
marching to their deaths.
It's a question between sentiment
and sentimentality, we should think.
Men don't march to their death to
the tune of "Tipperary," because
they like. to die; they do it merely
because they like "Tipperary."
Dying is an incident that they pre-
fer not to think much about; and
it is one Of the best things about
human nature that it is able to en-
joy its "Tipperary" on the way to
its doom. If we must always think
Of the inevitable end, there would
be no "Tipperary," no music, no
dancing, no happiness at all.
The real battle-hymn Of this re-
public, the last time we went to
battle, was "ThereTl Be a Hot Time
in the Old Town Tonight" It
wasn't much of a tribute to Mrs.
Howe that the boys in the trenches
fought better and marched better
and charged better to 'Hot Time"
than to her stately measures; but
they did. If it helped them to for
get the wounds and the horrors and
the dying, it served a very good
purpose. Likewise, if "Tipperary"
serves to keep a bit of the dance
floors spirit alive among the boys
who march away to the war, it will
do a good work. Certainly, if
soldiers want to march to CAV
music, it is no reason why the rest
of the community should be expect
ed to dance to a dirgel

THE SMYRNA INCIDENT.

The fact that a Turkish fortifca.
tion at the entrance to the harbol
of Smyrna fired on the launch OF
an American warship and would not
permit it to enter, may prove Of
very little significance; or, on the
other hand, it may develop decided
Importance. The reports from
Athens indicate that the cruiser
Tennessee was sent to Smyrna to
give the Turks a substantial evi-
dence that this Government would
not permit outrageous treatment of
European and American residents.
Thus far there have been few au-
thenticated announcements of the
kind of treatment that the Moslem
fanatics are addicted to extending to
Christians; but there have been per-
sistent rumors that trouble was
brewing in various parts of the
Turkish dominions.
The affair of the Tennessee's
launch may be explained in due time
as the result of a mistake by the
Turkish garrison at Vurla, where a
forts guns fired on the small boat.
Not unnaturally, the Turkish gar
rison is likely to have been nervous.
A warship appearing in the opening
might have been either British,
French, or Russian, and in either
case have been hostile. The popu-
lace has been in fear of lombard
ment, and the tension has become
so serious that the civil authorities
are said to have left the city, while
many Of the inhabitants doubtless
have done the same. 1t is therefore
quite likely than an explanation and
an apology will close the incident.
1t illustrates, however, the grave
dangers which attend such a condi-
ton of worldwide stress as now
prevails. America is not at war;
but it is in touch with warning in
terests all over the world, and only
the coolest conduct can possibly
avoid difficulties that might lead to
the most serious results.
