When the Canal is Opened.

OF all OF the great manufacturing and
commercial nations OF the world the
United States lies nearest to the Pan
anna Canal and should gain most by its
construction. In the old days. before the
Suez Canal was dug. vessels sailing out
OF New York. Boston, Baltimore, PhiIa-
delphia and other American ports had
slight advantage in point OF time. over
those sailing from the European ports in
the race for trade at Calcutta. Bombay
and Singapore. and all of the records
for fast voyages between the Far East
ard the Atlantic ports were held by the
American clipper ships. The moment
that the Suez Canal was opened, Amer
ica was pushed 1000 miles further away
from India than the western coast of Eu-
rope. Much, though not all, of the de-
cadence of our foreign trade was due to
the stragetic position which the maritime
powers Of Europe enjoyed through their
proximity to the Mediterranean route to
the SueZ Canal.
If we are wise in our day and genera
ton We will win back at least part of the
trade so lost. Galveston. New Orleans,
Mobile and other Southern seaports in
A relative sense gain most BY the estab-
lishment OF new trade lines by way OF
the Panama Canal AS the Mssiss-
ippi River, and the tributaries drain into
the Gulf of Mexico, all of the Middle
West should be equally interested and
benefited. because it can ship by water
to the Gulf of Mexico. the supplies OF
food stuffs. coal, iron. steel and machin
cry that should form the bulk of its trade
with the western coast OF South Ameri-
GA and the eastern coast OF Asia. New
Orleans. Mobile, Galveston and Savan-
nah are from 1.4oo to 1900 miles dis
tant from the canal, and this gives them
a great advantage in trading with the
ports on the west coast of South Amer
ica and makes them the natural gate
ways for commerce that remains to be
developed. Cities in the interior have
not yet awakened to the importance of
the canal Saint Louis is only 657 miles
from Mobile as compared with I,o54
miles from New York, and Kansas City
is only 500 miles from Mobile as COM
pared with I, 100 miles from New York.

Women and Peace.

1t is all right for women's organizations
i'll The United States to offer resolutions
against war, but it is not clear what ben
eflt will result. Peace has been preached
from time out Of mind; women as a class
are always opposed to war, and submit
- il only because they must. il may
safely be assumed that European women
of all races and nationaliues are at heart
in favor of peace. however fiery they may
be in denunciation of their country's en-
emies or however deep their patriotism.
But what does this opposition to war
matter when a crisis comes? Their voices
are drowned by martial music and the
tramp of soldiers feet; their protests go
unheard and unheeded by those who
rule. 1t would be the same in this coun-
try under certain conditions.
The time may come when women as
active participants in government may
have an influence in preventing war, but
they will always have the fighting spirit
of men to deal with. Apparently the
women who are now resolving" so earn
estly that war is wicked and must not be
allowed, forget that men are primarily
fighting creatures and that the disposition
to win their way by force if no other
means is sufficient is Inherent in their
natures indianapolis Star.

Our Food Surplus.

There is no doubt whatever that the
advance IN food prices that has taken
place within the past twenty years is
purely speculative, but it is not any the
less burdensome on that account. There
IS q super abundance of all kinds of foods
in this country at this time and the food
supply is certainly not being rushed out
Of the country in anF-alarming way. The
explanation'that comes from the packing
house barons uf the Middle West is OF the
usual kind. There is a shortage in the
meat supply. they say, and the demand
is great.
The present indications are that the
food yield of the United States for the
current wear will be much larger than the
total yield Of last year. The wheat WELD
is $50, ,ooO, COO bushels greater, and from
present indications the corn Weld will be
500. 10000 bushels larger. Fruits and
vegetables Of the varieties that are canned
are abundant East and Wnst. During
last year the United States exported food
products TO the value Of about 500 600, :
coo. 1t does not seem likely from pres
ent indications that greater qnanlity Of
foodstuffs will be shipped out of the
country this year than last wear. though
1t is indicated that our food surplus will
be nearly twice as great this year as il
was last year.
We have been feeding The standing
armies OF Europe for decades and the
food consumption Of the armies on war
footing will not be much greater than on
peace footing. 1t will be we'll for the
food spectators to bear in mind that Eu
rope is growing this year and will pro-
duce next year a home food supply in
spite of the war. If Germany puts 3 ooo.-
oeo men into the scrimmage there will be
o,ooo, 600 men and 10000. 600 women at
home engaged in farming; and France.
Russia. Great Britain and Austria will
not be closing down in the farming bust
ness.-Baltimore American.

Outrageous Food Prices.

Famine prices for food throughout the
United States are arbitrarily speculative
and criminal. They have been imposed
at time when the greatest crops ever
known are maturing and in the face OF
an embargo upon foreign commerce that
may last long enough to glut our ware
houses.
1t is thus that the war makers of the
earth heap terror upon terror and add
suffering to suffering, The worst OF
their offenses is not always to be seen
upon the field of battle. Savagery there
has some redeeming traits, such as cour-
age, devotion and sacrifice. In the
market place it is also sordid and calcu-
lating. In conflict war kills and mains
strong men. In trade it starves the
aged, the young and the weak.
The movement in Congress to in.
vestlgate this outrageous increase in the
prices of provisions may be useful in a
way, but it will not promptly reach the
evil. What is needed is instant activity
on the part of the Department of Justice
There can be no such general and exof-
bitant marking up of food prices in the
absence OF conspiracy. - New York

Financing War.

OF course, the hnanciers could prevent
the war-that is, if the governments
would respect the financiers and protect
them in their refusal to supply money.
But when nations 90 to war the civilized
rules Of nine and thine are apt TO be for
gotten, and the more general the war is,
the greater must be the disposition 10
take the necessary money from those who
have it and tell them TO sue for a settle
ment when peace IS restored. Villa and
his Mexcans have turned war into a
profitable venture for themselves-so
profitable that they are loath to give up
the enterprise. Our own Southern States
kept up most determined war for four
years with hardly any financial resources
to back it. Napoleon financed his wars,
enriched his lieutenants and for a time
made France prosperous by levying upon
the people whom he conquered.
1t IS pretty theory that there are great
capitalists who have power to make or
prevent war as they choose, who rule
kings by power Of gold and who may de-
eide the fate of nations. But there is no
capitalist who ever could collect a debt
except as some government made it col.
lectible.-Buffalo Express.

Blasphemy.

When the Russian or the Austrian
or the Prussian revolutionists endeavor
TO overthrow the monarchy rallies to its
aid the business men and the farmers.
On top Of the teachings which an es
tablished monarchy can force to be

the feeling that the monarchy stood be.

Worst Roads in the State are
Here -

For its wealth and amount of bust
ness, the condition of the roads in Fred
erIck county is worse than in any part of
MARYLAND, said County Farm Demon
strator Emory c. Remsburg. of near
Buckeystown, recently. in talking of
the number of miles that he has trav-
eled since taking the oath of office on
May Ist, 1914, as the demonstrator of
the county. With the exception of the
few miles of State Roads that; have
been constructed within the past several
years in the county and the pixies of the
turnpike companies. Frederick county
is practically without roads that will per-
NIT extensive travel. That is what the
demonstrator said after having covered
practically every mile of road in this
county.
In three months and half Mr.. Rems-
burg has travelled nearly 5000 miles,
just in pursuing his duties as demon
strator Of the county. He has been US
ing small, two passenger machine. of
about 27-horse power, and he declares
that while 1t is a convenient method OF
travel is much better and more satisfac
tory than the railroads. as far as his
work is concerned. it is an expensive
mode Of transportation.

Chestnut Trees Doomed.

State Forester F. w. Besley, who has
returned to Baltimore, after spending a
few days in Frederick county, in state
ment in Baltimore paper, says that the
chestnut trees in this State are doomed.
He stated that the blight has been most
destructive on the Catoctin Mountain.
and that it seems to be only a matter OF
time until all of the chestnut timber will
be thing of the past.
About Braddock the blight has been
very destructive and in Braddock Park
many chestnut trees have been cut, and
manv more are ewing as a result of the
blight. On South Mountain, the blight
does not appear to have gained SO much
of foothold, but it is presumed that it
will only be matter of time. as it is
claimed that the blight has spread from
Long Island down South in about IS or
20 years. There seems to be no known
remedy.

Corn Crop Worth $3.50, 900.

Frederick county's sugar corn crop this
year will probably bring to farmers of this
county a quarter of a million dollars.
One of the best canning men in this city
stated Monday that he should estimate
that this year Frederick county farmers
have planted for the various canneries
about 1000 acres OF sugar corr. This
corn will produce from two TO four tons
per acre and il is almost safe to assume
that there will be three tons produced for
each acre, or a total of 2I 900 tons of
corn. This corn is paid for at the rate
of SII per ton delivered at the factory,
and on this basis would produce S23I. 900.
The farmers receive the offalS from this
amount of corn. which should be worth
considerable, and there is also a chance
that more than 1000 acres of corn are
growing. All in all $3.50, 900 seems to be
a very conservative estimate of the value
Of the county's sugar corn crop this year.
When it is taken into consideration
that corn is planted in May, as rule, and
is marketed in August and September,
the return to the farmer is exceptionally
good. There are some farms where
about four tons of corn per acre are pro-
duced, and for such farmers the corn crop
is most profitable one.
The canneries about the city and coun-
ty are now working on fairly full time,
and have been for about week. The
fact that such regular working is possible
is most gratifying to the owners of such
plants. and to the many persons em-
ployed.

Psychology of Speed.

There are many sins Of civilization, but
speed is one of them and the latest born.
Except in courtroom. speed is an OBJ
stacle. 1t is in the way Of true success,
for it is Indifferent to all the laws of life
A man who goes SO fast that he fails TO
see the quiet and beautiful things along
the way is injuring his mind and breaking
up his nerves. If we had a family Of
several children and put them in an auto
mobile and raced them off at twenty
miles an hour, we would regard our
selves their mortal enemy, for they will
never grow up with their nerves steady
or their intellects lively.
The aliensts say that in 200 years the
human family will all be lunatics 1t
won't be that long, if the speed of autos
is kept up 10 over twenty miles an hour.
Indeed, MANY of these wild and reckless
drivers are getting that way now, and
they are pulling everybody down with
them. But save the children. and if the
old lunatics must have their way, take the
children out and keep them at home

Napoleons and Nelson's ?

Only great war can determine great
generals and admirals. Nothing but the
actual leadership of huge armies upon
the battlefield or the direction of fleets in
real combat can answer the question of
genius.
England starts the general European
war with Kitchener, French and Hamil-
ton. All three have had far superior
training in the actual stress of contending
arms than have the officers Of any other
nation.
Won Moltke, nephew of Germany's eel
ebrated war hero, comes with a great
name and reputation for military learn
ing, but with only small experience in
the real handling of soldiers when under
the fire OF an enemy In the same way.
General Joffre, who leads the army of
France, has never handled large body
of men IN a great war.
Both Won Moltke and Joffre were boys
in the last Franco-Prussian conflict, and
neither ever held responsible command.
Russia's experience with Japan ought to
have built up in its immense army tall
ent for real fighting, which nothing but
war can create. No Austrian officer has
yet proved that he is capable master of
half million men on battlefield.
There is a similar condition at sea-

POPE Plus K DEAD.

from the most humble position to one
OF the greatest by his energy and devo-
ton to his calling. He became Pope in
1905
Il was 4 position that he did not seek.
and. in fact, il was fairly thrust upon
him, despite his earnest protests before
the Sacred College Of Cardinals. When
Sarto, then Patriarch OF Venice. went 10
Rome TO attend the Conclave Of Cardi-
nzls. he so little thought he was 10 succeed

not attend the conclave which will be
held ten days after the death OF the Pope.
