United States has been gaining sales
in South Africa faster than Ger
many, partly because German wares
are often recognized as cheap imita-
lions of American models. Now that
German manufacturers are tempo
rarily out of the race and are likely
on patriotic grounds to remain in
disfavor for a decade to come the
United States has good reason to
expect double sales in nearly every
manufactured article.
One important obstacle interferes;
one influence tends to divert the
present eagerness for American
goods into acceptance of British
substitutes. Of 1866 steam vessels
and seventeen sailing vessels which
entered an important South African
port in 1913 only one was American,
and that a sailing vessel. Great
Britain had the largest tonnage and
Germany stood second.
If the United States wishes to
carry on with South Africa a COM
merce running into millions of dol
lars she must improve at once upon
her picayune merchant marine.

AS TO ORDNANCE.

General Crozier. chief of ordnance,
tells the House Committee on Mill
tary Affairs that this country has
no sixteen-inch guns building and is
not considering experimenting with
them, because we don't need them.
A sixteen-inch gun is about as
mobile as Pixies Peak. 1t can be
hauled around the country if divided
into sections, q few auto trucks to
each section, and a perfect macadam
road underneath. But when it is de-
livered where it is to be used, it
must have a concrete foundation
ready for it; and the construction of
roads and concrete foundations all
over the country would be quite a
ask.
Even when these were ready, there
would still be left the important de-
all of getting something to shoot
at. We have no prospect of desir-
able targets. The Germans built
heir great howitzers to shoot at
certain very specific targets: Liege,
Louvain, Maubeuge. Antwerp, Toul,
Nerdun, Belfort, and so or. At those
places there were great Notifications
with steel and concrete turrets and
Dig guns; the one way TO overcome
hem was 10 build guns of longer
range and greater power. In order
o be sure of making the guns work,
he Germans craftily arranged ten
lis courts and factory foundations
"a convenient places adjacent to the
'ortifications that were to be ham,
nerec.
Nobody has built any such fortif-
'ations for US to shoot at. Nobody
s. likely to build any. We have 10
disposition to 90 across an ocean to
nd such targets; and under the cir
INSTANCES General Crozier seems
lutte within reason when he opines
nat We don't need any such guns.

BASEBALL SENSATIONS.

Sensation treads on the heels Of
sensation. in the baseball world lust
now. The disintegration Of the Phil
adelphia American team was enough
Of a surprise; now comes the report
that Connie Mack will be taken out
of Philadelphia and put in the cap
taincy Of the New York Americans,
with the very plain purpose of build
ing up great machine that will
strengthen the American League.
and for that matter the whole force
of organized baseball, in the fight
against the Federals in the metrop-
oils.
1t was pointed out the other day
that baseball is to very great ex-
tent dependent on getting the big
gest returns out of the few big
towns that are able to furnish large
gate receipts. New York comes first.
Chicago second, After that the
towns dwindle away toward the
The Washington times., 1914-12-09

smaller cities that have major league
teams, some OF them being kept III
because it is necessary to have towns
enough to complete the circuits on
the right geographical lines.
Every one of the three big leagues
is compelled to figure on giving the
metropolitan centers the sort OF
baseball that will cash III the very
biggest possible receipts. This
makes competition intense at these
points. and adds TO The difficulties OF
the strategic situation. 1t also
makes necessary to build up the
teams at these places; and when
they are built up to The necessary
strength. it becomes a new problem
to keep the teams in he lesser cities
strong enough to remain in the game
at all.
All this is getting to be under
stood better and better, and it COM
mands attention in new ways to the
fact that the game is one of bust
ness and finance, quite as much as
of sport. The whole business is in a
demoralized condition. Competition,
vast colosseums of steel and con-
crete, immense salaries for stars
long lists of players sitting on the
bench and drawing big wages--these
factors have made the business eX-
pensive and topheavy. The trouble
is that the public, instead of getting
better and more satisfactory sport
in proportion as investments have in
creased, has grown less satisfied
with the sporting aspects.
There may yet be, perforce, a
measurable return to the simpler
days of baseball for the sake of the
game; of more reasonable salaries;
less appeal for the dollars and more
for the sincere support of the pub
lie. No town, nowadays, is able to
take much pride in "our team" be-
cause "our team" is liable to be
loaded on a train and hauled off to
some other town; or to be dissected
and the parts scattered from one
end of the country to another. All
that doesn't tend to arouse local en-
thusiasm. The magnates have need
to get out among the bleacherites for
awhile, and learn what they think,
how they feel, what they want. The
dividends sit on the bleachers.

Cnmplains of Car door CloseIs.'

TO the Editor OF the Mail Bag:
Washington certainly has the cham
pion collection of cute little door closers
on street cars. At this season OF the
year when the windows are all closed
there is always one OF these custodians
OF the door who takes up his position
as soon as he gets on the car and
sees that the door is promptly closed
the moment any one has gotten OF the
car. No fresh air will enter the car
II he can possibly help il.
These door closers must belong to the
class that sleep in rooms with windows
tightly closed. Fresh air to them is
poison. The remedy would seem TO be
10 pass a regulation prohibiting any
one but the conductors or motormsn
from opening or closing the doors, and
make it a misdemeaDOr punishable by
fire or Imprisonment for any one else
to touch them. OF course, the self
a 0intad custodians OF street car doors
are II OF a lob on the pay-within cars,
bu' there are still enough OF the old
typ. Of ssa-Eoing cars on the lines OF

GRADING COLLEGES.

P. P. Claxton, whose service as
United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation entities him to serious con-
sideration, believes we should have
junior and senior colleges. He says
it is folly for the small and poorly
equipped institution TO compete all
along the line with the wealthier and
larger one, and that it would better
not scatter its fire. Let it specialize
on freshmen and sophomores, he
suggests, and let the more powerful
school attend to the upper classmen
and post-graduates.
There are, he pointed out in re-
cent speech, about 900 colleges in
the country, which range in size
from those with a handful of stu
dents to those with six or eight
thousand. Some have thousands of
dollars, others have millions. Yet
all aim at the same thing, prac-
tically, and a man that comes out of
one of them is as much a college
graduate as one that comes from an
other and is as much entitled to tack
after his name such degrees as may
have been bestowed on him.
1t is a noteworthy fact that classes
dwindle greatly from the freshman
to the junior year, and less per-
ceptibly from then on. Those that
leave before graduation are obvi-
ously unfinished, in an educational
sense. Their whole course has been
shaped to an end, and that end has
not been realized. Profit they doubt
less will have from the mental dis
cipline of study, but that is all.
By paying special attention to the
requirements of students just en-
tering college work these junior in
situations could cover in two years
the course now spread over three,
Mr.. Clayton thinks, thus leaving the
senior Institutions free to extend
their scope.
Some sort of distinction among
colleges might well be established.
Possibly Commissioner CIaxton's
idea would resolve to a degree the
confusion which now exists.
The Washington times., 1914-12-09
ELOQUENT SILENCE.

President Wilson's address was
notable in some WAYS for the things
it didn't say. Its failure, for eX-
ample, to refer to a Presidential prl-
mary. to which the Chief Executive
has been understood to be commit
ted, has occasioned no little COM
ment. It is plain enough that in the
absence of Administrative pressure
behind it. there will be no Presiden-
tial primary act between now and
1916. The nominations for Presi-
dent two years hence-no, only a
year and a half hence-will be made
in the good" old-fashioned way.
The politicians and the patronage
will have the same relation to the
verdict as heretofore.
Omission of allusiOn to Mexico, in
the Presidential address, may be ac-
counted for only on the presump-
ion that the President is going to
talk in extenso on that theme
later. Perhaps the President is a
bit like other people, somewhat
mixed in his views of Mexico. He
could be excused if he were. But
whatever ones views, whether clear
or otherwise, Mexico must be
thought about and acted upon. 1t
cannot be lodged, and the President,
instead of lodging, doubtless intends
10 specialize on it at another time.
Some other gentlemen who have had
Presidential experience have lately
been taking measures by way of
specialization on that subject, and
Z is not to be thoughtlessly as
sumed that their views will be with
out weight or impressiveness.
