Is confident that this popular subdivis-

section for the residences of those
people OF moderate means who want to
own their own homes.
A little over a year ago the first
section of McInerny Park was placed
upon the market, subdivision Of some
275 large lots, and of those about 10
were sold within comparatively short
time. -. -.
A few weeks ago the second section

silent NEUTRALITY SHIRKs .
DUTY, sAYsf0RMER MINISTER

Robert Bacon, former assistant sec

States ambassador to France, believes
the policy Of strict neutrality and 81.
lence laid down for this country by
President Wilson no longer snits the
European situation. and that the time
has come for the United States tn pro-
test against the violation Of treaties
and of The Hague convention.
Mr.. Bacon sailed for England on
board the Lusi,ania, only 10 days after
he had returned from France, to which
country he went immediately after the
outbreak Of the war. Before s9iling
he issued a formal statement contain
ing his views of the attitude required
of the United States, as follows:
signs are not wanting that the peo-
pie of this country are unwilling to
submit much longer to the Injunction
laid upon them that our neutrality
should impose upon us silence regard
ing aspects of the European war with
which we have a vital concern" Mr.
Bacon began. There are many men

One OF the conventions Of the sec

] that her neutrality was violated by
Germany. So much is admitted by
Germany's official spokesman. the
imperial chancellor, IN his speech In
the reichstag on August 4, who sought
to justify the violation-which he
spoke of as a wrong-on the ground
of desperate necessity. -. ia
/ with the treaties between England,
France and Germany respecting Ger.
man neutrality we have no diplomatic
connection, but in The Hague conyen-
ton referred to we have real and in
innate concern That convention was
signed by the delegates from the. tint
ted States and ratified by the United
States government. and it was signed
and ratified by Germany, making it a
treaty between Germany and. the Uni
ted States, in which the other ratify:
ing powers we're Joined. -
In admittedly violating Articles
and III Of that convention, Germany
broke a treaty she had solefnnly made
and entered into with the United
States.
Duty to Protest., He Says.
Are we to suffer a nation to break
"a treaty with us, on whatever pre-
text, without entering at least a for
NAL protest? viii any one contend
that our neutrality imposes silence on
us under such conditions? Are The
Hague conventions to become scraps
of paper without a word of protest
from this government? If the treaties
which We made at The Hague are to
be SO lightly regarded, then why not
all our other treaties?
As a matter. Of fact, 1t is our sol.
emn duty TO protest against a viola
ton of pledges formally entered into
between this government and any
other government, and we assume a
heavy moral responsibility when we
remain silent. 49,.
ITO justify a policy Of silence by
the assertion that We are fortunate in
being safely removed from the dan
ger that threatens European powers,
and to nrge that as a reason for us
to sit still with folded hands is as
weak as it is unwise."

curtaiIment Of industry

The enactment OF the free-sugar pro-
vision OF the tariff bill threatened with
ruin the native industry. resulting in
curtailment OF planting and a de-
creased production, which will amount
this year to at least 100000 tons. AL.
though the entire tariff is not to be
removed until 1916, sugar companies
found 1t impossible to finance them
selves in the face OF law which made
1t impossible for them to continue.
Five centrals in Porto Rico were
forced into receivers hands, and most
OF the others were obliged to curtail
their production. Louisiana, Hawaii
and the western beets were not less
injuriously affected.

Calamity 70 Country

There is no industry on earth that
has played such an important part IN
American history as that OF wool man
ufacturing. The village mill has been
responsible for the wonderful develop

these small mills many of our past

schooling and in hundreds OF New

from the cradle to the grave centered
In the little mill that gave employ
ment to grandfather, father and cons,
as we'll as mothers and daughters, and
in these same towns Americanism was
bred and lived
The passing OF these small mills Is
a calamity. 1t is unwarranted because
1t is due entirely to the acts OF the
present administration at Washing
ton, particularly on account of the tar
if. Hundreds of these small mills are
going to be forced out OF business.
