BIG
IN SIZE AND
OTHER THINGS
Says Gilbert H. Grosvenor in a
Communication to National
Geographic Society.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. To-
Showing how Russia Is larger than
the entire continent of North Amer
lea, with the islands OF the Caribbean
thrown in; how It occupies three
5ifths OF Europe and two-fifths OF
Asia; how its Asiatic possessions are
one and one-haif times as great as
those OF China and three times as
great as those of Great Britain; how
It comprises one-sixth Of the landed
area Of the globe and one-tenth Of
the worlds population, Gilbert H.
iGrosvenor, director and editor of the
National Geographic Society, has just
furnished the nearly 100000 members
Of that organization with striking
pen picture of young RUSSIA
Land OF Unlimited Possibilities"
People and Climate.
After giving an impression of the
diversity Of the origin Of its peoples.
who come from the Orient and the
.Occident, the frigid north and the
tropie south: Of Its range Of climate,
which differ rs greatly as those of
it's Crimea and the breath of the north
to Its White sea region; Of Its vast
agricultural wealth; OF the widely
varying aspirations Of its peoples,
which differ as gflreatly as those of
the Poles and the Mongols, as those
Of the Confucians and the Jews, as
those Of the Tartars and the Lapps;
and of the vastness Of the geographic
limits Of the empire, Mr.. Grosvenor
says:
but with all its geographic great
ness Russia is about as poor in nat
iiral outlets to the world as the small
est. of the countries of the earth. Hol-
land could be hidden In the vast
reaches Of the Russian platnI almost
as q needle in haystack, yet Am
sterdam does more international bust
ness than all the ports of Russia to-
Eether. Not one free outlet to the
open sea does European Russia pos
sess except on the icebound shores Of
the Arctic ocean. The path from the
Black sea to the Mediterranean leads
through the Bosphorus aud the Oar
daneiies held by alien hands"
Mr.. Grosyenor next shows how
there lives within the boundaries OF
the Russian empire enough people
to, duplicate the population of Ger
many, Great Britain and France COM
bined, with enough left over to dupE-
cate half the population of, Austria
Hungary. Furthermore, II Russia
grows from 1912 to 200 as she grew
from 1872 to 1912 her population then
VIII be upward Of six hundred mil
lion.
He then continues: "From such a
record OF size, of bigness in every
. thing, we should expect Russia to be
an old nation, like Great Britain, with
perhaps a thousand years Of unhind-
cred growth behind her. But, as a
matter Of fact, Russia is a youth
among the nations compared with
England, STRIPPING whose full stat
nre and breadth is still a subject o!
conjecture and speculation.
sRussia is young because she never
has had chance to grow until recent
years. Her geographical shape or
condition was such that for centuries
her people were constantly being en-

Waste Is Preyentable.

Referring to coal, DIR. Holmes says:
"a careful estimate indicates that
in the mining ofi.600 .000. 900 tons
Of coal during the last calendar year
there was wasted or was left under
ground in. unminable condition 300,-
100000 tons of coal. AS result OF
careful preliminary inquiry, It is be-
heved that more than one-helf of
this yearly waste Is preventable I'M
der existing economic conditions, But
the bare statement OF the enormous
losses does not, perhaps, express the
most important part Of the situation.
which Is that the coal we are now
using and wasting represents the
cream OF our supplies. namely. the
coal that is the best. Is most easily
and cheaply mined. and = nearest
the great centers OF industry"
Referring to still other wastes, DR..
Holmes says: A preliminary inquiry
as to the colSing Of coal in beehive
ovens has shown that the total value
of the by-products annually lost in
this country through the use Of such
ovens amounts to $4,000. 900. AL
though the desirability Of developing
industries in this country
has been recognised. such develop
ment has now become an actual
need.
sThe bureau has also ascertained
that the annual waste of metals in |
practice amounts tol
more than $500 ., 900. ;.

arose among many patriotic London

The Nicaragua Treaty

The main opposition to the Nicara-
qua treaty, which has again been sent
TO the Senate by the administration,
may come from certain democratic
senators. They criticized severely
similar treaties with Nicaragua and
Honduras negotiated by Secretary
Knox, and attached to them the stig-
ma of dollar diplomacy" A year
ago they were astonished to discove.
that the Wilson administration had
gone Knox one better" by negotiat.
ing a treaty with Nicaragua placing
that country, in its political and for.
eign relations. virtually in the posi-
ton occupied by Cuba in relation TO
tho United States.
Secretary Knox's plan had followed
rather closely the Dominican inan.
cial receivership idea. II was his
purpose to place the foreign debt Of
the smaller Central American states
in the hands of American bankers, in
stead OF Europeans. and thus elimi-
nate the interference of European
powers for the protection of Euro
pean bondholders whenever the
states in question defaulted on their
interest payments. At the same time
Secretary Knox sought to establish
direct American supervision of Cen
trail American finances, carrying a
contingent power of Intervention in
times OF domestic disorder or civil
war. The Bryan treaty with Nicara-
qua goes to the point with more di-
rectness. For it provides that Nicara
qua shall not go to war without the
consent Of the United States, shall
not contract obligations imperiling
her independence, or give footholds
TO foreign countries in her terrific
ries, and that the United States may
intervene to protect Nicaraguan indie

VERMONT INDUSTRIES DAY
Manufacturers and Boards Of Trade
Asked 10 Cooperate


Asked TO Cooperate
The Greater Vermont association is
proposing the establishment OF
Vermont Industries Day" day set
apart for the visiting OF local factor
les and Industrial plants by the mem
bers Of commercial and civic organi-
zations throughout Vermont. The
following letter, seeking the cooper
alton OF manufacturers and boards OF
trade. has been sent out by the secre.
tary of the association
Gentlemen: During the last few
months the thoughts of the people of
Vermont have been turned very
strongly toward agriculture. Nine OF
the IA counties have been organized
for the support OF county agents who
will advise with the farmers and inn
prove agricultural conditions. Five
counties now have agents at work.
In counties not yet organized boards
of trade have taken up with the Office
of farm management at Washington
the problems of county organization
and the ultimate securing of advisers
for their counties.
II is now high time to bring forcib
ly to the attention of Nermonters and
of the people of other States that
there is not only AN Agricultural
Vermont" but also "An Industrial
Vermont" Neither the outside world
nor we ourselves begin to appreciate
the quantity or the quality Of the i'll
dustrial output of the Green Noun
tain State. There is a conventional
notion abroad that Vermont is an ag-
ricultural State with almost no indus
trial realizations or possibilities.
The Vermonter is too often ignor-
ant of the industries at his very
doors. And yet. through personal ex.
| periences, through direct observation,
| every citizen ought to become a we'll
informed and intelligently enthusiast
tic advertiser for his home indus
tries. How can this be accomplish
| ed?
| If manufacturers and boards of
trade approve, and will cooperate,
the Greater Vermont association will
be happy to set in motion through
out the State a plan for Vermont
Industries Day. day especially sci
apart during which the manufactures
will hold open house for visitors, viii
be at home to the members of the civ
ic and commercial organizations Of
their communities. Such day would
make our industrial activities bull
larger in the interest of the people
would make our industrial POSSIBLE
ties evident and convincing.
An intimate acquaintance with 10
cal enterprises can be secured by tn,
citizens only through the co-opera
tion of the manufacturers with tn,
members of civic and commercial or
