TWILIGHT SLEEP

The committee for standardizing
twilight sleep methods in the United
States bears witness to the "thrill Of
10Y prophetic, trembling on from
East to West" with which the dis
icovery has been welcomed.
When some one in st. Louis writes
10 New York to ask advice about the
treatment given near her home, the
time has come for an authoritative
.pronouncement by which to test local
.slill. Especially must the danger of
:quacks and the importance of adapt
. ing the doses to each particular case
be emphasized. In this, the first in
.ngvation that American medicine has
taken up at popular behest, the ply
ssician's inexperience, and not the
patients complications, must become
known as the only source Of danger.
Twilight sleep claims among its
honors added safety for both mother
and child, and more rapid recovery.
Tt Is humiliating TO reflect that the
higher brain centcrs, deliberately Gull
itivated through aons of discipline,
arc more hindrance than help in this
fundamental natural process; and it
Is all the more marvellous that after
being temporarily put out of COM
(! mission they take up work again as
refreshed as from a nights sleep.
When this German gift to human
lty is, like anesthetics in surgical
operations, universally applied the
world will accept it nonchalantly,
perhaps expressing little gratitude
to the self-effacing discoveries. Few
will recognize the slow-working but
.stupendcus psychological effect upon
society-an effect more subtle, more
far-reaching ard msny-sided, more
inevitable and more beneficial than
any other that We of 1914 face.

Daniels Criticised as
Lax i'm Administration

Sharp criticism OF the administration
OF the Navy Department by Secretary
Josephus Daniels, and especially OF bis
attitude toward aeronautics. will appear
n the January number Of Flying, tn.
official magazine Of the Aero Club Of
America.
Daniels. it will be charged, has only a
slight conception of his important
duties. uses the navy "as a sociological
experiment station" rather thar
grim machine Of destruction" and dis
regards the advice Of experts of tho
general board.
1t Is charged that examination of his
annual report shows Daniels does not
comprehend the value of air craft. I
An examination Of the foregoing
the editorial will say. can lead but TO
TIE conclusion that Secretary Daniels.
despite his glowing Scncralities, does
not as yet grasp:
"The immense Importance OF aircraft
IN warfare.
'-Fbe fact that aeros have passed far
beyond the experimental state, and are
now giving practical and iuvsluabIa
service under war conditions
That all OF his official advisers are
against his programmes policy, which
has nothing better to offer than delay
and experimentation. and that these ex-
perienced r;en wish action at once, and
upon a practical scale"

Tariff Brings Calamity,
President Is,Informed

President Wilson Is told that the
tariff law % the Democratic party
mas brought this country face to face
with a business calamity" In a letter
from tho MANUFACTURERS Association or
Montgomery county. Pa Last July
this association wrote the President
asking him to work for the repeal CT
the Underwood tariff, declaring indus
tries OF the SchuyikilI valley were be
ing crippled. At that time the Presi-
dent issued statement expressing thu
BELIEF that conditions complained OF b.
the Pennsylyanians had been cxaySer-
ated, and further stating that in every
direction evidences OF prosperous con
ditons were at hand.
We now address you informing you
the good times so happily predicted al
Washington have not arrived" the let
ter now sent to the President by the
Pennsylvania manufacturers SAYS. ION
the contrary. the forecasts made TO you
in our first letter have materialissd to
the extent Of being an unusual public
calamity
The President is told the uanufsc-
turers are aware that the language OF
this letter is strong and direct b1t
they declare they mean II to be co.
and responsibility is then placed on
the. tariff. The President has made no
reply
The Washington times., 1914-12-27

, The commander of the fiotilla of
submarines made four reports to the
Navy Department calling attention
TO the unpreparedness of the boats
under his charge. No notice was
taken of those reports.
After the war in Europe broke out
the commander of the submarine flo
tina was asked to report what was
the matter with his boats and why.
He replied that the flotilla was I'M
fit for service in war and that it
was high time the department re-
haired the damage. Secretary Dan
icls then took notice, with repri-
mand to the effect that zeal in a
navy officer is TO be commended, but
It should be coupled with proper re-
spect for the department"
Now, whether Commander Sterling
committed a breach of etiquette is
10 be settled between the Secretary
and the commander of the submarine
1otllla.
But the big issue, the only issue
which is of interest to the public,
is the fact that the chief of the
submarine f1otilla gave warning sf-
ter warning that the submarines
were in wretched condition, but
could get no attention until he
Couched one of his reports in words
czustic enough to fire the resent
,rent Of the Secretary.

SAGHALIEN ISLAND

In Asia everything mundane is on
such huge scale that it is difficult
to realize what the obscure island
of Saghalien, or Sakhalin, repre-
sents. To say that it is 600 miles
long will perhaps not suggest SO
much as to note tisat if it could be
laid down on the United States it
would reach about from New York to
Cleveland. It is almost as long as
Cuba, and its area is about three
fourths that of Ohio.
additionally, Saghalien has been
Japanese possession, but it was
never very highly priced. The Jap
anese did not bother much about its
northern reaches, but they developed
the southern half to A considerable
extent on account Of its value as a
fishing station. In 1875 Russia,
which had claimed the northern part
of the island, exchanged some of the
Kurilc islands to Japan for the
southern part of Saghaien, and be-
came sovereign over the entire isl
and. Then during the Russo-Jap-
anese war the japanese sent an eX-
petition and conquered the island,
and at the close of the war the
treaty Of Portsmouth divided it, Civ
ing Japan the southern and Russia
the northern half. The japanese peo-
pie have never been satisfied with
this arrangement; they have not
liked the notion of a partnership
with Russia in ore of the great isl
ands which they regard as natural
ly constituting their group.
That Russia has now coded the
northern half Of the island to Japan.
in consideration Of Japan providing
her with considerable quantity of
heavy ordnance much needed on the
Poland war front, IS really the proof
that Russia and Japan are getting
to understand each other. Russia
would not be surrendering a piece
of territory Of this sort, looking out
upon the Pacific, unless she had
reached q willingness to make a
friend Of Japan; to cooperate; to
understand; to accept that Japan has
rights in the eastern seas that it is
useless to contest.
Saghalien, in short, is the pledge
Of something very like an alliance
between Russia and Japan. Likely
as not, if everything in the diplo-
matte background could he seen, it
would be known that the diplomatic
hand Of Britain had played a part iii

BUSINESS REVIVAL

Business rccuperation is proceed
ing steadily. In some lines almost
normal conditions have been re-
stored and the steel and kindred in
dustrics arc beginning to show more
activity.
The grant of higher freight rates
TO the Eastern railroads will favor
ably affect manufacturing lines de-
pendent upon the transportation in
tercSts for business, for the small
amount of supplies the railroads
have been buying for the last few
years was not measured by their
needs, but by their ability to finance.
With their credit restored through
the decision of the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission they arc in posi-
ton to raise the necessary money,
and If they purchase rails, cars, loco
motives, and other equipment and
material in normal quantities we
shall soon hear the hum of activity
in steel rail, bridge, structural and
car and engine plants and less about
the army of unemployed. As those
plants fill up thor psyrolls and start
their machinery they make business
and work in thousands of other
places.
Graiu is going abroad in record
volume and exports of coal also are
increasing. Clothing, shoes, blankets,
harness, automobiles, and other ar
ticles required for the armies of Eu-
rope arc being forwarded as fast as
they can DC loaded into ships. The
money situation is satisfactory, and
for the first time in many years we
approach the year-end settlements
without apprehension of disturbance
in the loan market.
The stock exchanges have resumed
operations without inviting a flood of
foreign or domestic liquidation of
securities, which so many persons
feared before those institutions de-
clared open markets. If American
stocks and bonds should come stead
lily from abroad they could be paid
for out of the huge international
balance of trade in our favor with
out financial disturbance.
We are forging ahead surely, and
We arc to swing on both more swiftly
and strongly.

The FILIPINO REVOLT

In the holiday season when 50
many old residents return to their
early homes 10 renew acquaintance
and extend Fluctuations 1t gives pc
culiar pleasure to welcome an old
friend, the "Filipino revolt" so long
stranger to the front pages of
the newspapers. A temperance
about this time, when Philippine leg
islation is nearing a decisive stage
m Congress, was to be expected. This
stage seems to have been reached by
the Jones bill, now before tRe Sen
ate, after having passed the House.
There is hardly a man with any
Information at all about the Philip
pines who can credit the stories re-
garding the latest uprising" At
This time Of year, as is set forth in
another column Of this paper. there
IS much perfervid oratory in the
Philippines, and especially in Manila.
And there is usually an arrest OF two
simply for the purpose Of keeping a
few gentlemen with uncomfortable
verbal spssms from doing themselves
harm.
The facts are that the people who
vzould profit by revolution in the
Philippines are the very ones who
admit they are getting more ROW
than they could expect from this
bill. The men who have talked revo-
luton heretofore-t so-called In
dependence faction in the islands
politics-are the men who have
worked hardest and with the great
est sincerity TO secure the passage
:of this bill. They claim to repre-
sent 2 large majority of the Fill
Pine people and the election returns
in the islands would indicate that
lis claim has basis of fact. II is

Russia has used it as a penal col
