Popularity of American Manufactures

good quality that other orders fol-
lowed. Later an American pump was
installed and, about a year ago, the
plantation owners decided to buy an
automobile, and as other purchases
had been satisfactory, they ordered
A car from America. The dealers in
machinery in and around Loanda in
spected these articles and interest
was thus created; the merchants sub
scribed to various trade journals and
now frequent purchases of small ma
chimes of many descriptions, pumps,
cement block presses, etc, are made.
In a like manner, office furniture
made in the United States became
popular, first by purchase of one or
two desks by one of the large bust
ness houses in Loanda, one of the
members of which had seen the
American made article in Lisbon.
Later the firm sold numerous desks,
chairs and filing cabinets. They then
took up an agency for American
typewriters and were so successful
that two or three other firms follow
ed their example. This created an
opportunity for the sale of other
goods, such as office supplies, foun-
tain pens, cash registers and even a
few iron and brass beds.

1t was in honor of her godfather,
Pope Plus TX, that the sister of King
Humbert of Italy was called Maria
Pia. Maria Pla was born on Oc-
tober Is, 1877. In her childhood she
was a merry, laughter-lo loving child,
tull of life and spirit, fond of amuse-
ment and pleasure. From her baby
hood she was said to possess a
strange power of fascination and to
have exerted a sort of royal influ-
ence" upon all those who approached
her Her beauty was undisputed. She
was of exquisitely slender proportions,
and her face revealed the Austrian
type of beauty inherited from her
mother Her skin was of dazzling
fairness and her hair was of golden
brown.
When Maria Pia was fifteen years
old she was married by proxy to
Dom Louis, King of Portugal, who
had been on the throne for a year.
This family into which the fair young
princess married was haunted by
searching fears and suspicion. The
two older brothers of the king had
died in a mysterious manner just be-
fore his accession. 1t was said that
the cause of their deaths was yellow
fever. The suspicion of poison was
whispered throughout court circles.

APPARENTLY 1EHLBAoH WINS HIS FIGHT

Reeounts seldom change the official results of
elections The discovered are usually on both
sides and one balances the other In the recount in
the Tenth Congress district of the vote in the Re-
publican primary election the Investigators had to
deal both with frauds and errors and apparently the
frauds one side.
Mr. Lehlbach in demanding the recount had only
a majority of four for Mr.. Adams to overcome,
but he did rely the possibility of errors
in the count to wipe this small majority out. He
had evidence that fraud had been committed 1t
would appear that Prosecutor Guild also had in
formation before the recount was made
AS result 10 is found that without the III re-
ferred ballots be judicially passed upon Mr. Leh-
bach has ii net majority over Mr.. Adams. If he is
allowed only thirty of the referred ballots, of which
OF apparently in his favor. he will have secured
the nomination. He has made plucky fight in the
interest of clean politics and interrupted ballot
box and done the State some service.

ALASKA OPEN FOR DEVELOPMENT.

The final passage of the Alaska coal leasing bill
supplements the act previously passed by Congress
for government railroad in Alaska. 1t was charged
in Congress that this bill would virtually hand over
the coal deposits to the predatory interests it
could be used by them to get monopoly control of
Alaskan coal But partisan charges capable of
large discounts and the Democratic majority in Con-
gress have not been disposed in 1914 to hamstring
their presidential ticket in 1916
There are now two laws intended to open Alaskan
wealth the benefit of the nation the most impor
tant being the government railroad, which assures
for the government the control of transportation 1t
Is this control which is the power of the anthracite
coal trust. If the coal roads governmentowned
there would be trust So with a government
owned railroad in Alaska and government control of
the coal land leases with large reservation of such
lands for government ownership it is hard to see
how the predatory interests secure any kind of
o monopoly.

District Judges.

created by the retirement of JUS
tice Barnard, a local man, was filled
by the appointment of a New Jersey
man. Now another vacancy is
about to occur through the resigna-
ton of Justice Wright, who was
appointed from Ohio. 1t is the hope
and the expectation of the district
that the balance will be maintained
by the designation of Washing
tonian to fill this place.
The District Bar Association has
at a meeting voted to urge that local
men be given equal consideration
with others in these nominations for
the bench, and named committee
to carry this expression to the Presi-

Do You Really Know the Right Way to

Do You Really Know the Right Way to
Breathe?
If there is anything to equal good
inheritance of tough tissues, lots of
food, sunlight and fresh air, 1t is deep
breathing.
Those who fall ill with little, hidden
leopard spots of tuberculosis In the
lungs are most often those whose
lazy, lackadaisical breathing permits
the topmost peaks of the lungs to be-
come fixed and inelastic
You breathe by habit, and you pay
little or no regard to the peaks of the
lungs, imprisoned as they. are be-
tween the collarbone and the spinal
column. 1t requires the efforts of a
Vulcan to keep this little point of
each lung inflated with fresh oxygen
the staff of all life. The fresh air
is the vital force which keeps life
going and also invigorates the tissues
so that they are the better able to
slaughter the tuberculosis Uhlans and
mierobic Cossa cks.
Physiologically, breathing is vital
exchange of waste gases and moisture
OF the living structures for the life
giving oxygen and freshly made air
vapors. This fair exchange is by no
means a robbery. because vegetation
utilizes as fresh the stale air eX-
hailed.
In plants, respiration is precisely
the reverse of that in man. Instead
of taking in oxygen, they 'inhale"
carbonfc acid gas-the waste stuff of
mans lungs
The Lazy Breather.
A necessary part of everybody's
should include the insistent
training of the respiratory muscles,
so that no part of the lungs fabric
could escape complete expansion. A
drill of this nature, begun in infancy
and in the kindergarten, would tend
to the elimination of many Instances
of tuberculosis later in life.
Many methods .are available for the
practice of the gentle art of thorough
~ deep respiration. None of those
however, which allow you to breathe
in jerky, staccato, choppy fashion
are safe or helpful. Respiratory exer-
cises should be smooth and continu-

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM THE EXCHANGES

dispose them to that course--they
cannot use Antwerp as naval base,
since 1t is accessible by sea only
through Dutch territory. Could it be
so used it would be, of course, a po-
tent weapon in the attack of England
which Germany is anxious to make.
But no channel port will be of the
slightest value for this purpose while
England has command of the sea. To
take II away from her the German
fleet must come out of hiding and de-
feat the British fleet. This may be
among the possibilities, but it is not
among the probabilities.
Nevertheless, granting that the in
vasion of France Is not achieved at
this time, the third object of Ger
many would naturally be the inva-
sion of England. The great resent
ment which the course of the British
government has aroused in Germany
suggests that this object will be pur-
sued by every method and at any
cost. Even If the British fleet re-
mains equal to the labor of defense,
the imminence of German attack will
have a certain moral influence. 1t is
plain that the future strategy of
Germany will depend on what the al
lies can accomplish during the next
week or two. The Germans are COM
PEELED to advance If they wish to gain
anything: the allies will gain by sim
ply holding the Germans in check.
In the east the indications are that
the Germans are at least holding their
own against the Russians and that
the Austrians have pulled themselves
together to some extent and are MAX
ing better fight of it; but the sheer
weight of the Russian advance gives
1t an impetus that cannot easily be
checked, and the Russians, with
greater resources in men and sup
plies behind them, can afford delay
and loss better than the others. Here,
even more than in the west. perhaps,
time fights on the side Of the allies.

A New Appreciation of General Butler

covered that he had made a thor
ough study not only of the facts and
historical events, but also of the
principles which were characteristic
of the Pilgrims establishment of Ply

II found, also, that General Butler
was one of the few men who were
able to make the important distinc-
ton between the Pilgrims of Ply
mouth colony and the Puritans OF
Boston and of Salem. / found that he
was an admirer, of Sir Harry Vane.
He was able to place the rfundamen-

Cod fearing Pilgrims who established
a theocracy and the more aggressive
Puritans who founded the Massachu-
sets colony.

General Butler, / speedily fogot all

ness His manner was extraordinar-

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
BY DIR. LEONARD KEENE HTRsHBERG'

when in sitting posture, the most
efficient way to carry out exercises IN
deep breathing is in upright positions,
such as standing, walking and run
ming. The virtue of the cold shower
lies as much in the shock of the cold
water which opens wide the flood
gates of the lungs while standing
erect.
Inhale in a steady, deliberate, grad
nal and continuous manner through
the nostrils. This fills first the lowest
mart of the lungs, squeezes out the
clogged-up liver and abdominal ma
chinery, and dissolves some of the UNI
burned fat of the obese.
without jerks or Interruptions the
deep inhalation must go on to initiate
the middle portion of the lungs, and
finally the LATEST, most rigid, highest
portion. AS the upper regions Oh the
pulmonary alps dilate, the lowest part
and valleys begin to cave in.
For several seconds the breath is
thus maintained in statu quo, as
diplomat might say. Gently, softly,
slowly breathe out through the lips,
nucl<ered as If to whistle. At the
same time you hold the chest rigidly,
Tiff the abdomen slightly but stiffly
as the waste gases whistle silently
forth from the crevice in the lips.
The whole exercise, repeated dozen
times a day, in the great. clean, open
country, will work wonders for the
health.

TO the Editor Of the Evening Star;
D6dr Sir--Will you kindly give this
letter space in your esteemed paper?
The new German national song,
Deutschland Ueber Allies, has been
taken to mean Germany over all. !"
This is a sad result of poor interpre-
tation. Permit me to correct 1t here
by.
Germany above all' can be taken
to mean a cry of Napoleonic mastery
of the world-a desire and wish to
rule and be above and superior to all
nations. That meaning would not be
pleasant to me, an American of Ger

misunderstanding. No one need take
my word as evidence. If there is the

HOW WAR AFFECTS NEuTRALs.

OF all countries earth that are not involved in
the war Switzerland is probably the worst sufferer
The mountain republic, shut in on three sides by
belgeren nations feels the decline of industry and
commerce in falling off of more than one-half in
postal and almost as much in customs receipts. Like
ourselves the Swiss must pay war tax although at
peace for special levy has become necessary to meet
the deficit in and the cost of keeping the
army footing to preserve neutrality. If
Italy enters the conflict Switzerland will be island

maintain the neutrality of her SOIL which is very

William I. Davis, who was for his
entire seventy years of>dife a citizen
of Plymouth, Mass, was always a
jealous and enthusiastic student of
the history of the Pilgrims and of the
Plymouth colony which they .estab-
lished. 1t was due in part to his la
bors that the excellent Pilgrims M"-
scum was established. Although he
was a banker by vocation, yet he
possessed an attractive literary style
which he was able to use lin his de-
scriptive narrative of Plymouth and
in his "reminiscences of some of the
men of distinction of his time with
whom he had the good fortune to be
in association, notably Daniel Web
Ster.
Mr.. Davis for many years looked
upon General Benjamin f. Butler as
q man who fully deserved the criti-
cism and some of the scorn which 1T
was Buffers lot to meet with during
his long and very active career as a
lawyer, as a politician and public
man and as an officer in the Union
army.
But there came time when Mr.
Davis changed his opinion, or rather
modified it. He was speaking OF
General Butler to group of friends,
one of whom narrated to me the
incident, and he began his anecdote
by saying:
II learned that there were two
sides to Ben Butler. For years | had
known only one side. | knew him as
the brusque, almost brutal, lawyer
and soldier, apparently having not
the slightest respect for the feelings
of any man. / looked upon him as
something of a swaggerer and was
among those who thought that he
owed almost all his notoriety to au-
dacious self-assertion, although I had
no doubt that he was a man of brill
liant intellectual gifts.

will gladly oblige in this respect.
The literal meaning is Germany,

This is set to music that is hymnlike
and solemn, like a devout prayer.
There is something sacred about it's
words and music. There is no brag,
no buster, no defiance or thought of
domination in the words. It is the
