these globe-trotting artisans a view
of the world that would educate and
broaden them; would enable them
to observe the differences between in
dustrial, economic, and social condi-
tions here and abroad; and in gen.
eral would have all the enlightening
effect that travel and observation
always produce. There need be no
great concern over the danger that
the United States would lose an i'm
portant part of it's stock of skilled
labor. The time has come when
labor is less and less attached to the
particular place Of it's employment.
We are a very long way from the
medieval time when the serf was at
tached to the land, bought and sold
with it; and this ebb and flow of
the tide of workers shows how very
much conditions have changed. With
out doubt there will be more and
more tendency in this manner to
equalize economic conditions in the
future.

SHUTTLE" COHEN IN
SAFE HARBOR ATLAST
"Man Without Country" Is TAX
en- by Pythians to San.
tarium in Connecticut.

NEW YORK. April 1.-The odyssey
OF Nathan tShuttleCoCkl Cohen Tn"
Man Without a Country" has ended.
For the first time in 5000 miles Of
travel he feels the JOY of comparative
/ freedom Cohen-the man whom thr""
countries refused to rcCeiVe-has at last
found a haven at Greenfarms, Conn,
in the HolbrOOk Farms Saaitarium.
Two weeks ago Cohen was praCtiCally
a prisoner in the sick bay of the steam
ship Nasari of the Lamport * Holt line
He was being detained behind locked
doors while the vessel was preparinG
for another voyage, one that would add
900 miles to Coheu's year of sea travel.
The man was clothed in rags and
without reason.
Yesterday, when he took the train to
the sanitaripm, he was in the care of
persons whotclt real sympathy for hinl
lie was comtOrtod with the promise tha :
these new friends will work to repair
the wreck of his life and 20 to every
expense to restore him to sanity.
This transformation in Cohen's for
tunes resulted from the discovery that
tn" International outcaSt had been "a
member of the knights of Pythias.
Ills brothers of two States are now
striving jealousy to have charge of his
affairs.
The sudden shift in Cohen's favor
came through ttve-ltne item that
appeared in Jacksonville paper, in
which It vas told that he was about
to start on another lap in his enforced
pilgrimage. The news caught the eye
of the secretary of a Pythan lodge in
the Florida city.
He remembered that the membership
roll Of the lodge once had held the name
of Nathan Cohen and that he had sud
denly disappeared. His information,
communicated to lodge in Manhattan
was What rescued the witless. unkempS
exile from becoming a Vcritable ODD
Man of the Sea"
Nowhere in the record OF American
immigration is there n cast that paral-
lels Cohen's. He had committed no
crime. What has been revealed of his
past shows him to be victim Of his
friends and his relattiVes.

THE MOVEMENTS OF LABOR

There comes from Newark, n. j.,
report that recently requests have
come to that town for 400 men, who
are offered work in the overtaXed
British industrial centers. Half OF
these have sailed, and calls for a
thousand more are reported immi-
nent.
1t is not apparent why this busi-
ness of transporting laborers to the
places where work awaits them
should not be encouraged, even
though at times the stream moves
away from this country instead of
toward it. For more than CEN
tury there was a steady stream of
immigrants toward this country
seeking the opportunities that cheap
land and good wages in a new coun-
try afforded. The first distinct move
ment in the opposite direction came
with the 1907 panic, when great
numbers of recent immigrants, find
ing themselves out of work, returned
to Europe. They could be at home
there and could live more cheaply
on their savings in the States. It
was not long, after normal business
conditions were restored here, until
most of them were returning.
Today there is an insistent de,
mand in England especially for Ger,
tain classes of skilled labor. The
condition is extraordinary. 1t may
never be experienced again. The
foreign employers are willing to pay
good wages and to transport mer
whom they employ. The movement
even of considerable numbers OF
American workers would not take
big funds of savings out of this
country, as did the emigration fol,
lowing 1907. Rather, it would put
these men at work where they would
send much of their earnings back tc
the United States, thus reversing a
situation that for many decades has
helped to drain surpluses of earnings
out Of this country. 1t would give

HARVESTS OF GOLD

Consider the American farmer! He
has sold his unprecedented crops OF
1914 at sky-high prices, except in
the case of the Southern cotton
planter, whose big product-the big
gest in history--now commands a
price of 10 cents a pound and will
20 much higher.
Yet, though the war should end in
a few months or even a few weeks,
the high values of American farm
products for this year of 1915 are
secure. A huge winter wheat crop
is soon coming to grain. A huge
spring wheat crop is going into the
soil Other agricultural yields are
preparing in unexampled quantities.
And here in the United States they
all are to sell at lofty figures be-
cause the greater part of the earth's
population, engaged directly and in
directly in the conflict of Europe,
has not been able to provide for the
harvests of this coming season.
If the war drags on, or if the war
soon stops, there will be a pinchingly
inadequate yield of the farms in all
the lands at war. But here in the
United States there will be a
prodigious surplus of many prod
ucts. With all the world wanting
them in the next as in the past sea-
son, they will coin into gold, East
and West, North and South.
Consider the American farmer,
with the wealth which has come to
him and his country since spring a
year ago, with the still greater
opulence which is to come after this
spring!

DISTRICTS TRUE CHARACTER

Superintendent Of Schools Thurs
ton made an excellent point yester-
day in addressing the Mothers Con-
gress when he explained why the
school system of the District is
analogous to that of a State rather
than that of "a city. The same
analogy holds good in other munich
pal respects.
The District has all the elements
of the State, as the superintendent
noted. In it is city, suburbs, and
rural districts, where truck farming
and dairy farming are done. Every
element that goes to make up New
York or Michigan or California is
represented here.
Would it not be an excellent idea
to impress this upon the gentlemen
upon Capitol Hill? In speaking of
the District they usually refer to
Washington as synonymous with the
District. In point of legal definition
they are right. In actual fact they
are wrong. They are very much
wrong when they insist upon COM
pairing the expenditures of the Dis
trict with those of other cities. In
speaking of the school system it.
self this error is widely accepted.
And persons glibly tell you that
Washington's school system is more
costly than that of other cities. Is
it? The District school system is
(and there is good reason for that.
But is Washington's?
A realization of this distinction
would help, too, in consideration
of expenses of paving, sewerage,
water mains, fire protection, and the
police force.

LOWER TAXICAB RATES

Announcement that the Public
Utilities Commission is to lower taxi
cab rates in Washington was not
unexpected. There is every reason
why they should be lower.
A recent comparison of rates in
The Times showed the Washington
charges to average higher than
many cities of it's class or slightly
larger, while they were in excess of
many Eastern cities of much great
er size, like Philadelphia and New
York.
Of course, the comparison of rates
for various cities is not necessarily
a fair procedure. The utilities COM
mission has made its decision upon
valuation of the property of Wash
ington taXicab companies. But in
the case of taXicab service compara-
tive rates of cities have a value for
the layman. Operating expenses and
upkeep. of such a service should be
fairly standard In Eastern cities
If anything companies operating in
Washington should have an advant-
age. This city does not have the
cobblestone streets of Boston OF
Baltimore. The thoroughfares are
wider and unobstructed, enabling
quicker trips and larger business
The patronage in Washington prob.
ably is larger for the territory in
volved than in most cities except
New York. There are large mum,
bers of visitors here who patronizc
taxicabs. And the business here is
largely confined to the nOrthweS,
section of the city, in which are

Railroad Opens Wayto
Greatest Coal Fields
Although Now Undeveloped Alaskan Lands Will Be
Surveyed and Ready fox Operation Within Year
as Result of Federal System.
BY JUDSON C. WELLIyER.

The two greatest undeveloped coal
fields in America, so far as is now
known. will be surveyed in detail by
the Government this season, and a year
hence 1t is expected that they will be
ready for commercial operations.
To one Of the fields. a railroad will be
opened within the year or as soon there
after as possible. to the other. a road
will be opened just as soon as the ex-
animation of physica! conditions shall
make 1t certain that the terminal ia
satisfactory and the approach to the
field satisfactory.
These will be immediate results Of the
action Of President Wilson in signing
the order under which construction OF
the Government railroad system in
Alaska will begin at once.
The President signed the order yes
terday. and in it, following the forecast
made in The Washington Times afore-
night ago, he designated that the Alaska
Northern road shall be bought by the
Government. and then extended up the
Susitna valley to Fairbanks. This will
make q total Of AL miles of road from
tidewater at Resurrection Bay to Fair
banks. A branch thirty-eight miles long
will extend into the MatanuSfa coal
field. which has been shown bI careful
tests to produce a high grade Of semi
anthracite coal of ecexllent quality for
use Dy tnc navy.
Two Routes Completed.
l. There were two routes competing
for the selection at this time; one,
from Seward inland, which has been
selected: the other. going inland by
way of the present Copper River and
Northwestern railroad, up the Copper
river. and making available the Ber-
| ing river coal deposits. 1t is under
stood that the decision in favor of
the Alaska Northern route was set
tied by reason of the fact that the
navy has tested Goals of the Mata :
nuska and Bering river fields, and
gave its verdict in favor of the former
Goals. AS a matter of fact it is
known. and is admitted on the hi igh-
est authority, that the Bering river
coal did not have a fair test. There is
just as good coal in the Bering river
region as in the Matanuska; and the
Iconfidence of the Interior Department
! in this opinion is indicated by the
fact that Secretary Lane today an
nouuCed that during the coming sum
mer season detailed surveys Of the
two fields will be made and that care
| full investigation will also be made
by the Controller bay terminal prop
osition, and of the route thence in
land to the Bering river field. All
this will be done with view to the
early construction of another line of
road TO open this held
river fields are to be surveyed and
"Cleaned up as fast as possible. a
great number OF coal land claims have
| been filed in beth regions, many of
which have been attacked as to their
legality. Recently the public land
