WEAKENING THE ENEMY.

When two combinations of world powers are in
conflict with each other it is the policy of If
possible TO weaken the other by detaching from it
part of its strength Before the began each great
alliance embraced three nations. After the
well started it found that Italy could not be relied
on as the third member of the Triple Alliance
Probably it will be known how the Italian
government automatically influenced, but her
secession was blow to the other two powers
The suspicion that Germany contemplated offering
France inducements to abandon England and Russia
led to the compact recently announced by which each
nation pledged itself to make terms of peace with
the concurrence of the other 1t Germanys
policy detach France from the Triple Entente and
probably the French government approached
when it's troops in retreat before the German
legions and Paris seemed to be in peril of siege.
Interest turns to Austria, the unlucky member
of the Triple Alliance. Whatever may be the agree
ments between Germany and Austria, they might not
be of any more value than scrap of paper" if
Austra's salvation depended separate treaty of
peace In her behalf. And the dual monarchy
is hard pressed. Her capital and her political
existence threatened 1t is the policy of the Triple
Entente If Austria is reduced to the last extremity
to make it object to her to abandon the alliance
with Germany and even to let her Slav regiments
be incorporated in the Russian armies
Hard necessity compelled European states in the
Napoleonic wars to act with perfdy toward their
allies Napoleon led into Russia the troops of nations

THE STATE EXPENSES.

Former Senator John D. Prince in his address to
the Bergen County Republican Committee made some
criticisms of Democratic administration that in the
main were childish. But he went somewhat beyond
the bounds of when he attacked the reckless
extravaganza" of Democratic legislation at Trenton
Mr. Prince represents party that has been Justly
under indictment in respect to State extravaganza for
1t during the sixteen years of Republican control
that the State expenses trebled. 1t during
those years that the State government was saddled
with all kinds of sinecure commissions and the heads
of the State departments given deputies attend
the departmental work while the department heads
were only occasional visitors at their offices.
The investigation and report of the Hahn Assem-
bly, committee in 1907 Illuminating to the prac-
tees and expenses in the departments of the State
government but the messages of Governors
Stokes and Fort. They showed that the State admin
istration supporting salaried commissions simply
for the sake of paying salaries Republican legisa-
lures refused to enact single economy, and these and
other extravagances were left as legaces for Dem
ocratic legislatures
How the State could economic was shown by the
report of the Economy and Efficiency Commission to
the legislature last winter. This economy simply
to get rid of the unnecessary expenses created by Re-
publican legislation in the past. Unfortunately the
Governor failed to back up the reforms and they
failed they will probably fail again next winter if
ginger is not put into the office of the executive
But it is idle to say that Republican Legislature
will bring any reforms or any economy Mr.. Prince
was a leading figure in the Legislature when there

minstration reforms. He thoroughly capable
legislator he knew that the State extravaganty
administered, and yet he refrained from doing any
thing to disturb the official sinecursts make the de-
partments be business principles and the
State several hundred thousand dollars annually by

PUBLIC EXPENSES INCREASED BY THE WAR.

AS every man. woman and child knows the cost Of
living this year greater than last year or any
previous year. and this applies not only to individuals,
but also to government.
1t costs more to run the public institutions
because OF the greatly increased cost of maintenance
Expenses of administration cannot well be curtaied
while at the same time there is large percentage of
increase in the cost Municipalities must constantly
borrow money and the interest rates now are higher
than during the Civil War.
Municipalities may retrench by stopping all i'm
proyements cruel expedient that robs labor of en-
ployment and causes restitution and pauperism. 1t
adds to the expense of the poor and aims department
and increases the tax the private charities 1t Is
a pity indeed that the Board of Works has stopped
paving work a number of streets. 1t is bad move
at this time.
With the increased cost of living, the increased
cost of borrowing money and diminished income the
municipality finds that its expenses going up.
When political campaign is on this increase can be
artfully seized upon for partisan argument to in
fuence voters who do not reflect upon the connection
between war prices and embarrassments and the ex-
penses of government.
Next year, If the continues, the American
States and municipalities will continue to feel its
effects, and probably in more pronounced ways There
will probably be reduced property assessments and
higher tax rates These are among our penalties or
account of the war and must grin and bear them
AT least they should not be made to figure in trick,
partisan way in an election campaign

FRIDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER Il. 1914
OUR GOVERNMENTS DELICATE POSITION.
JAMES SMITH, JR.
FOUNDED MARCH 1, 1882.

The position of the United States government in Its
attitude towards the European war is one of great
selicacy and increasing difficulty, and it will require
extraordinary tact to avoid giving oense and at the
same time to preserve dignity and look after
our own interests.
The visit by the Belgian commission to see the
President and lay before him the Belgian complaint of
the destruction of the city of Louvan and the aroci-
ties charged against the German armies was preceded
by the publication of the communication to the Presi-
dent from the German Emperor conveying information
of outrages by the allies upon Germans How shall
the American executive receive and reply to these con-
ficting charges?
It is not for our government to sit in judgment
upon the acts of nations engaged in war; and no
matter how true may be the facts in regard to Lou
vain President Wilson has duty in the way of ex-
pressing condemnation, The acts of the beligerents
in this great war will be judged by mankind accord
ing to the light which impartial history shows We
can await that just judgment.
The United States is the only neutral nation whose
opinion has weight with the warning powers. 1t has
no entanglements with any of them, it has no con-
nection with Old World politics, and its people can
live and prosper even though Europe should be cut
of from all communication IT is an entirely dis
Interested party. and with its great power and its
influence ON the worlds thought, it's good opinion
must be courted The demeanor of the various gov
ernments towards the United States shows that con-
yiction.
But to preserve strict neutrality to resist diplo-
matte pressure and intrigue and at the time sup
press ebulltons of sentiment among people will
be a task for the government Whatever is done at
Washington should be in the way of patience, as well
as courage and with entire sincerity In our foreign
relations are always honest, and there will be no
lack of honesty while this unhappy war lasts

WASHINGTON LETTER
BY VICTOR ELLIOTT

eign owners under the Alexander
measure will carry only goods which
are distinctly neither absolute nor
conditional contraband. President
Wilson has made it plain that food
stuffs are not to be considered in
either class under normal conditions.
Foodstuffs are Conditional contra
band" when the evidence obviously
shows they are intended for the use
of the belligerent armies. When they
are shipped for the populations of
the nations at war, and not for their
armies. foodstuffs are not contraband.
as President Wilson interprets inter
national law.
This phase of the law relating to
contraband is extremely important
because IL this government discour-
aged all European traffic in food
stuffs in the preservation of its neu-
trality, it would be severe blow to
American export trade and mean the
loss of many millions to our people
1t will be permissible for American
companies to ship arms and ammuni-
ton to the contending forces but at
their own risk. They cannot call
upon the United States for protection
in the event of seizure.
AS the situation develops and the
war resolves itself into a test az an
durance and of resources, the vital
Importance of the United States as
Europe's chief source of supply will
be seen. Great Britain never has
good supply to last her more than
100 days. France also requires rapid
replenishment of her supplies. Ger
many declares today that she has
stored supplies to last her people for
at least twelve months. but should
the war continue beyond that period.
and Great Britains unreienting
blockade of her coast continue. it is
regarded as more than possible that
the kaiser's empire could be starved
into submission regardless of the
fortunes of her tremendous assault
on France.
1t is at this point that the neutral
ity of the United States will be most
severely tested. Should the fate of
the warning nations be even partially
determined by the export of food
stuffs and other important supplies
from America, there will be many
critics who will arise and assert
that the United States as effectively
aided one group of the combatants as
If she had placed her army and navy
at their disposal

KNOCKING OUT TRADE FRAUDS.

There tricks of trade in other countries besides
own Commercial fraud appears in every guise in
all lands. The is abolishing of these frauds
limitations of French and English goods in Germany
appearing in their real character as home
made goods Bavarianmade gloves with English labels
have lost their labels So also has Bavaran-made
French lace. On the other hand, French and English
substitutes for German articles sold in England
appear English-made.
There is plenty of this kind of commercial fraud
in the United States Fabrics manufactured here
and sold as of French, English or German make. We
get California wines and brandes with French labels,
and probably the genuine German imported beers will
still be tap although none is imported. 1t takes
savage and bitterly aroused popular prejudice to
get rid of of these frauds gotten up deliberately
cheat the public and yet all such practices should
be criminal at all times in the eyes of the law.

y. S. Graphite
Now Needed

Although no value of the graphite
imported into the United States in
1915 was almost twice the domestic
! production, the cutting off of the for
eign supply should seriously affect
only the crucible industry. There is
an ample supply of graphite in this
country suited for stove-polish, foun-
dry facings and paint pigments, and
large deposits of amorphous graphite
IN northern Mexico, now comparative
ly peaceful, are controlled by Amerl-
can firms and can be depended upon
ior supplies of graphite for pencils,
luoricatlng material, and many other
uses, Moreover, graphite is now be-
ing manufactured in the electric fur
naces at Niagara Falls in amounts
far in excess of the domestic produc-
ton from natural sources, and this
graphite is well adapted for most of
me uses 10 which graphite is APP
Piled.
he graphite for which we depend
mainly onforeign sources is that used
IN the manufacture of crucibles and
other refractory products, but as
tEese uses probably consume over half
OF the graphite used in this country,
such dependence is a matter of no
small Importance. Moreover, the
manufacture of crucible steel REQUIRES
graphite crucibles. The graphite used
in crucible making has been brought
largely from the British island of
Ceylon, although within the last few
years some has been brought from
the French island of Madagascar
This graphite is fiaky or fibrous and
Tor this reason Is eminently adapted
to crucible making. For this use ii
has never met with serious competi-
ton from domestic graphite. The
earthly amorphous graphite mined in
this country and the graphite manu-
featured at Niagara Falls are not
adapted to this use, and as rule tie
expense of concentrating domestic
lake graphite has been prohibitive.
Nevertheless 1t is to the domestic
supplies of flake graphite that this
country must look in the event of
foreign supplies being cut off. Practi-
cally inexhaustible supplies of this
material are known to occur in New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
North Carolina, Alabama, Texas and
some other States and are fully de-
scribed in the reBbrts of the United
States Geological Survey. Similar de-
posits are abundant in Canada The
graphite in these deposits occurs as
small flakes in rocks composed main
ly of quartz, feldspar and mica, the
graphite constituting to 10 per cent.
by weight.
Several plants are now engaged in
working such deposits and many
others now idle could be put on
producing basis i'm a short time and
at little expense. Although the
product might not be equal to the Cey-
lon graphite in all respects for cruel
bic making, there is no question that
it would be adequate, for similar
graphite has for years been success
fully used in Germany.
Another American resource is the
graphite deposit near Dillon, Mont.
The graphite there is very similar to
that from Ceylon and should be
adaptable for crucible making. AL
though the deposit does not compare
In size with the Ceylon deposits, 1t
might render material aid in case of
shortage.

lof the leading statesmen of the world
have in days when peace prevailed
expressed a strong hope that the way
would be discovered by which per
manent peace could be established
among the nations of the earth. But
| have observed that when great
crises have arisen these statesmen
have turned their attention from
peace to war.
Il wish with all my heart that the
principle of arbitration could be per-
manently esta blished, but my ex-
perience and my knowledge, not only
of human nature, but of that com
posite nature which is the charac-
teristic of each nation. teaches me
that the hope of peace must continue
merely hope.
Look at Europe-great armies
maintained constantly, and a fearful
taxation on the people on account Of
that; population growing very
rapidly, for which an outlet must
be found. That means the estab-
lishment of colonies, and COLOMBIA
ton soon or later involves friction
with other nations, which usually
leads to war. sf' pf
ct cannot look into the future with.
out obtaining a vista of O. great
struggle upon the continent OF Eu-.
rope. To me it seems inevitable. I
hope that my own country may not
be drawn into it. ! cannot look far
enough ahead to picture forth in my
imagination what the results of a
contest Of that kind upon civillza-
ton will be. My heart and soul are
for peace. but my Judgment tells me
that permanent peace is a condition
of a rarer and finer civilization than
the one we. u0w pnSsPssD
