THE COMMERCIAL PHASE

The one important world-market
from which the United States is cut
off by reason of the war, as the war
now stands, is Germany. 1t has been
a great buyer of our products. With
its ports blockaded, it can 10 longer
take them.
On the other hand, the entry of
Great Britain and the junction of
British and French naval power
probably insurcs that commerce
aside from that with Germany will
presently have reasonably safe seas
to navigate.
In the effort to get our commerce
moved, we suffer the loss of the Ger
man market; but we have substitute
ed for it a greatly increased demand
for our wares in other countries. The
loss of German shipping is more
serious affair, for large tonnage
has been taken from us in German
bottoms that are now staying close
to shelter.
Even this, however, could be large
ly compensated by the fact that
ships of ether countries, such as
Norway, Japan, Holland, Italy, could
enter the breach and serve us. But
the military necessities of the coun-
tries at war will compel the i'm
pressment OF great numbers of YES
sels of commerce. They will become
transports, freighterS. scouts, aux
iliaries. Thus the remaining avail
able shipping will be confronted by
a task which seems certain to be far
beyond its capacity.
Granting all these uncomfortable
conditions, the broad fact remains
that the entry Of England has great
ly relieved the commercial situa-
ton from the American point of
view. The first great object of the
British navy is to save the tight lit
tie country from isolation and star
walton. Britain has long accepted
her dependence on other countries
for food and raw materials. She
must protect her commerce, and will.
To the extent that shipping can be
had, then, it will! presently be NOV
ing with comparative freedom unless
the utterly unexpected shall happen
in the fortunes of war.
This is the assurance of Americas
harvest. The prices of foodstufFs
fell when war broke out and there
was still grave d5uLt of England
being involved. That was because
both France and Germany would |
have been sweeping the seas, seek
ing contraband for capture. But the
seas will now he cleared of German
warships. and France and England |
will interfere only with commerce
destined to Germany. AS soon as it |

THE MILIT AIRY FORCES.

The Beers and the Balkan allies
have most recently shown what the
military potentiality even of small
state is when emergency calls FOR
the last ounce of national power. Re-
calling the vast ornaments that Ser
via, Greece. and Bulgaria put in the
field, and the superlruman achieve
ments they wrought in two wars,
surely none can make the mistake of
assuming that Holland, Belgium, and
Switzerland will he negligible fac
tors in this war.
Belgium is g country of near
eight millions, and Holland of just
about six millions Of people. For
half a century they have both acute
ly feared the very crisis that is now
upon them. Both are rich and strong
ly national in sentiment. Belgium is
credited with war footing army of
100000; and her frontiers and i'm
portant cities are powerfully for
titled.
Hollands army at homo, is main
tanned around $4,000 in peace, while
she has a splendid body of some 3d.
600 regulars in her colonies in the
Orient. These could easily be re-
leased, with an Anglo-Japanese
guarantee of the security of the
Dutch East Indies, and brought
home. Thus regular army Of TO-
600 is in sight; and 145.000 trained
men from the reserves can be add
ed to that on short notice.
Switzerland is another buffer state,
regarded almost sacredly neutral in
recent time. II is said that Ger
many has seized one of its leading
cities. Switzerland has considerably
more population than the thirteen
colonies had in IT'S. She has uni
versal, compulsory military service
under system widely accounted the
best in the world. She can put out
275,000 fully equipped soldiers in a
marvelously shor. time.
These little countries not only can
fight, but will. They are indepcnd-
ent countries today because they
have proved that much. julius
Caesar had a sad experience with
the Helvetii; and it is as well to re-
member that TIE official name of
Switzerland today is the Heivctian
Confederation. Holland and Belgium
have a fighting record eloquently at
tested by the story of their strug-
giles against Spain, that started
Spain on the downward course, from
the proud position of first power of |
Europe.
These three little countries can
put into the field forces aggregating
of a million of eff
:ient soldiers. Truly, they cannot
be accounted unimportant factors.
In reality, they could very greatly

Perhaps you have heard that there
is, In Washington, a shop where the
blind print books. You probably
have considered this a polite euphem-
ism out of compliment to these blind
persons. and pictured most of the
work being done under the supervi-
sion and assistance Of sighted folk.
Visit the book-making plant at the
National Library for the Blind, at
17c9 H street northwest, and your
theory will be upset completely.
Two facts strike the visitor. The
first is that every bit OF the work.
from receiving the special paper for
the work, to the assembling OF the
printed pages and binding them, is
done by blind persons. without help
and without supervision.
The second is that efficiency is the
dominating keynote OF the establish
ment. These blind persons are not
at work killing time. they are doing
something And with a directness
emphasized by the absence of dis
fractions that sight might bring they
set about their task with a prect-
sion and deftness that is surprising.
Under Loyal instruction.
Not that this dexterity Is an in
herent quality of the blind. They
had to be taught the work OF setting
up the braille type. printing in
braille, proof reading. and binding.
That is the task which has fallen to
Miss Eta Josselyn Giffin, director
of the library. who has worked

blind apprentices IN this new-found

JURORS REQUIRE FOUR
MINUTES TO ExoNERATE
OKLAHOMA sENA1 OR

Oklahoma City, Feb. 19.-United
States Senator Thomas Pryor Core
Yesterday was exonerated Of charges
of improper conduct by verdict OF
his favor returned in district court
in the suit for $4,000 damages insti-
tuted by Mrs. Minnie E. Bond of
Oklahoma City.
The verdict was returned four min
utes after the case was given to the
Jury. Only one ballot was taken.
We find, the jury stated in the
verdict, the evidence submitted by
the plaintiff, entirely insufficient on
which to base a suit; that said evil
dence wholly exonerates the defend
ant and had the defendant at the
conclusion of the plaintiffs evidence
announced that he desired to INTRO
duce no evidence and rested his case
our verdict would have been the
same in that event as now returned
by US in favor Of the defendant.
Despite the efforts of bailifis to
maintain order when the verdict was
read. the crowd that filled the ,ourt
room turned into cheering throng.

cision without change Of countenance
Mrs. Gore was the first to grasp his
hand. When she turned and shook
