mon sense not seldom goes straight
10 the front door of a question about
which legislation and diplomacy are

his remark that the purchase Of the
great ocean steamers lying idle and
useless at Hobollen would be splen-

its way in the future.
We assume, of course, that Mr..
Wanamaker's advice about the pur-
chase of the German ships is condi-
toned upon the possibility of obtain
ing them at price fair both to the
seller and the buyer. He goes on to
say.

The main opposition to the idea of
beginning the revival Of the American
merchant marine by extensive pur
chases of foreign-built vessels comes
from the American shipbuilders. Some
of them go so far as to say that they

The longest way round is not the
shortest way home when it comes to
Transporting merchandise. To get
there quickest with the best goods,
other things being equal, means COM
mercial success, and that's what the
Panama canal will enable the manu-
| featuring and other commercial In
| terests of the United States to do
along the 5000 miles of Pacific coast
line of South America OF that coast
line nearly 5000 miles are taken up by
the republic of Chile. Wherefore
Chile is in the commercial limelight
just now, and bids fair to remain
there for a good many years to come
for her Importance in the business
world is steadily increasing and her
future prospects are remarkably
bright.
Complete details of Chile's foreign
| trade for 1918 are not yet available,
but from some advance figures Just
received by the Pan-American Union,
| Washington, d. c., some interesting
facts may be cleaned which should
| claim the attention of those interests
| in the United States seeking to enter
| the Latin American field. In the
| first place, Chile's foreign trade In
| 1913 exceeded all previous records,
! n0tWltNStanQlng general ana almost

| total amounted to s265,000,000, of
which the imports were valued at
| s12O. 0O0, 900 and the exports at nearly
! s145.0OO,OOo.
| In this connection it is interesting
to note that the United States has
made very perceptible gains on her
! two chief rivals, the United Kingdom
and Germany in the total Chilean
trade since 1909. OF Chilean imports
| in 1918 the United States supplied
nearly II per cent. against only 10

Kingdom, 80 per cent, against 80

A REPRoAoH TO COLORADO.

twenty-five bogus militiamen in Colorado who COM
mitted murder, and robbery in the so-caed
Ludlow battle in the mining regions last April have

There has been no travesty of justlce in
this country than the acquittal of these men. The
circumstances that led to the battle and the outrages
and killings still fresh in the public mind. The
so-caed militiamen gunner hired by the mining
companies and commissioned by the plant governor.
The victims were mine laborers, who treated as
bondsmen by the mining companies in ways to force
them to strike. Women and children were among the
victims. Colorado will get rid of the reproach
which these verdicts fasten upon it.

fruits and grains, woods and manu-
features, etc.), nearly s14,000,000, and
animal products, nearly $S,000,00O
Under the above classification, in
the line of textiles the United States
made a very poor showing. The
United Kingdom sold the Chileans
over 81, 900 worth; Germany,
nearly s6,SS2,OO0; France, $500, 900;
Belgium, over s1,000.000 and the
United States only 1911. 900 worth.
With the European war engrossing
the attention of the four countries
enumerated, and with the Panama
canal doing business, surely the
manufacturers Of cotton and wool
textiles in the United States will get
busy and make q better showing
heneeforth.
Under mineral products are found
such manufactures of steel and iron
as wire, granite cooking utensils,
pipes, tubing and connections; nails,
railway spikes, fishplates, steel rails,
car wheels, structural steel, etc, and
of the total Germany sold $S,120,0O0

Under coal, oils etc, the details OF
the 1913 imports are not yet available,
but we find that the United Kingdom
sold Chile over $1,000, 900 worth, while
the United States came second, with
about s6,000,0000 worth. In 1912 the
United Kingdom sold the Chileans
$7146,000 worth of coal alone, Austria

enemy captured annihilated, and, in fact made tc
appear like runners of the scared iaek-rabbt type

That these dispatches, not only censored but
without doubt directed and dictated, must, in the
very nature of things. been humilatng to Ger
mans residing in this country. and to all German
Americans goes without saying. The Germans were
derded reviled and, as discredited, in these
improbable and ncongruous tales of ignomnious de
feats for the German arms and sweeping victories for
The others. .......
Biased or thoughtless newspapers added to the
bitter feeling unjustly aroused against the Teutons
by placing haring and glaring headlines over their
articles and editorial comment, setting the stamp of
truth on ex parte and evidently Ecoored war dis
patches
The Evening Star assumed the attitude that facts
were being stretched to the tension point the news
cabled this country, and therefore, used discre-
ton and caution the handling of the dispatches the
intention being to be fair to all readers.
And now comes the other side of the war story,
and it comes by way of London and Paris 1t tells of

Even when the Russians others, in fancied Sc

In all truth, it be said that the Germans are
doing the lighting the other fellows the running.
Whatever the future may have in store for them

NEWARK AND NEW TRADE OPPORTUNITIES.

1t is for the Newark Board of Trade members to
wake up pay attention to what is going at the
present time and what is proposed be done in this
country of Questions have doomed up that
vitality affect every business and manufacturing in
terest the welfare of communities and the wel-beng
of every individual citizen 1t is time for earnest
counsel and vigorous action.
AS city, the logic of the situation is evident
to the dullest mind. Our manufacturers want new
markets for their goods. They have been cut off
rom most of their old markets. Central and South
America are now presented for them with opportuni-
ties that never before occurred and may not again in
La century.
American manufacturers have been strangely in
different and astonishingy ignorant in regard to
Latin-American trade SO largely monopolized by the
European nations, The government has tried for
several years to educate them with publications of all
kinds but with little apparent effect Now the effort
is made to instruct them orally by government
perts Yesterday in the Board of Trade rooms
government expert gave valuable talk on the sub
iect and pointed the means to secure the great
trade now so inyitngly OPEN
Organization is everything in business enterprise
Tn Board of Trade has the machinery to push New
arks trade interests and justify the title recently
adopted for the city, and should show live interest
and intelligent and well-drected activity.
1t is great pity that the work of harbor improve
ment should have been delayed nearly four years by
selfish private influences, for if now had harbor
and docks the benefits to city would be incaleua-

future secure much of the commerce that is to be

! Iowa for the good Of the sick and
wounded northern soldiers.
But Mrs Wittenmyer saw that
what the soldiers needed most of all.
more than nursing, was good food
and with this conviction she opened
. kitchen in Nashville, Tennessee, In
which food was prepared for eighteen
hundred sick and wounded soldiers in
a day. In directing this work Mrs
Wittenmyer worked night and day
amidst the most adverse conditions.
II has been said that her executive
and organizing ability was in no way
inferior to that OF the generals in
command of the military forces.
During the siege of Vicksburg and
Pittsburgh Landing she was under
actual fire.
Mrs. Wittenmyer continued her
good work after the close of the war,
for in 1868 she founded the first SOL
diers' orphans home in the country.
Not long afterwards she organized
the Woman's Home Missionary So
ciety of the Methodist church. Later
Mrs. Wittenmyer was elected the
first president of the National Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union, at
fhe time of the organization of that
society +. Cleveland, Ohio. 1t was
through ner euorts that the SOLDIER
home IN Kentucky was established.
Her last achievement was not the
least It was the passage of a Fed
eral law to pension army nurses,
thus bringing comfort to many
women who had served as devotedly
though less brilliantly In caring for
the soldiers in the Civil War.

Munsterberg, of Harvard, and other
essayists. So it is, in way, but that
is not all of 1t. 1t is also Teuton
against the English Teutonic race and
Teuton against Celt In brief, this is
not racial war, taken as a whole.
Nor is 1t a war in which any Gull
ture faces possible extinction at the
hands of lower culture Defeat does
not mean the extinction of a certain
culture; 1t has generally meant it's
triumph. Germany conquered Rome,
and Rome's culture conquered Ger
many. Rome dominated Greece, yet
bowed beneath the power of the con-
quered nations culture.
1t is natural for partisans on all
sides to seize one phase of the situa-
ton and to emphasize 1t at the ex-
pense of other phases It is natural
for every nation to exalt the special
mission which 1t believes 1t has in the
world and claim that 1t is the worlds
protector against some great and sin
lister force.
Thus we see Germany standing
forth as the champion of European
culture against the lower culture of
the Slavs; France holding herself
forth as the continental defense
against the Prussianization of Europe
England feeling that she is the bull
wark of constitutional freedom and
nationality against military autoc-
racy.
But all eXaggerate the danger from
| the others as well as the need for
them to stand forth as the world S
champion. There is no need to settle
by war which is superior and which
an inferior race, and war will never
settle it. There is plenty of room fol-
| all the races in Europe, and each race
has its peculiar virtues, as well as ii
inalienable right to development.
1t is well to emphasize this point
these days when we hear ''racial
wars'' SO frequently mentioned, as il
the term were synonymous with "un-
/ avoidable, necessary wars" In point
of fact, given favorable conditions
people of the same race fight about
as readily with each other as people
of different races.

Anthony is ordinarily one of the
cheaper metals. selling at one and
half times to twice the price of zinc,
but since the outbreak Of the Euro
pean war it has reached more than
2Oeeents q pound, a price higher than
that of aluminium. During the SIX
years from 1908 to 1913, inclusive, the
price of Cookson's antimony ranged
from 7.45 to 1881 cents pound, and
the yearly averages ranged from SPA
TO SIS cents a pound. Much of the
time during the present year the price
has been still lower, and toward the
end Of July 1t was quoted as to flO

uolnted out in the United States Geo

prices antimony ores cannot De
worked probably under the high
labor costs prevailing in the mining
regions of the United States unless
the deposits are very large ana ao-
vantageously situated. No deposits OF
anthony ores have been founo IN .ne
limited States which entirely fulfill
these conditions, and as a result prac-
tically all the antimony metal used
here is imported from European
smelters. mostly from England. Inc
ores for these smelters come largely
from China, Mexico, France and Aus
tria. So long as the war exists, and
especially so long as sea trafflc IS
disturbed, the production will be cur
tailed and prices raised, for the use
of anthony in type metals ana es-
pecially in bearing metals is hxec
and will continue. Other uses, such
as the making of coffin trimmings,
which consumes surprisingly large
quantity of anthony and from which
there is no secondary recovery, might
conceivably turn to aluminium or
other metals as substitutes:
For several years the production OF
anthony in the United States from
domestic ores has been confined to
