New Orleans Improving
Her Port Facilities.

New Orleans, now second in point
of commerce handled, is preparing to
increase her already vast port facili-
ties, so that she will be in position to
handle increased commerce as BUSH
ness develops. To do a vast sum of
money to be spent by any city, but
every cent, excepting s37, 100000 be
expended directly in increasing the
facilities of the port. The latter is
to be spent on sewerage and drain
age and in rat-proofng to guard
against the bubonic plague.
The port plan of improvements an
ticipates the erection Of grain eieva-
tors and docks, extending belt line
railroad, provided navigable water
front sites for industries, cutting sea
channel and dredging, and in pro-
viding for vocation school in order
to create an adequate supply of high
trained labor. For the latter pur-
pose alone s1,O00,0O0 will be spent.
New Orleans already is the best
equipped port on the gulf. That she
is now to spend over $1oO,ooo,0oo in
additional facilities might serve as
q lesson to those ports, particularly
Pensacola, which have no facilities al
all. The harbor is here but the facil-
tiles are lacking.

The Arabic's Loss
Is Germany's Answer.

The torpedoing OF. the British
steamer Arabic with the loss of pos
sibly eight Americans is Germany's
latest answer to the American note.
The latter said that further loss of
American life through the operations
of German submarines would be
classed as deliberately unfriendly."
1t appears now that nothing can be
done by the United States but to
sever diplomatic relations with Ger
many. The American government
cannot afford to reced from the posi-
ton it has taken. 1t has said what
view it would take in case of a repe-
tition of the act which. called for the
drastic note and now that the kaiser
has seen fit to deliberately sink an
other vessel without giving the Amer
leans aboard an opportunity to es-
cape there seems nothing to do but
to send the kaiser's diplomatic repre-
sentatiyes to their homes and recall
those of this country serving in Ger
many.
The only hope now left is that the
German government will declare that
the circumstances surrounding the
sinking of the Arabic were such that
the submarine was endangered. If
the Arabic was endeavoring to escape
or attempted to ram the submarine
then the latter's commander was jus
tilted. Otherwise there is only one
course open for the American govern
ment to take.

Cuts Alaskan National
Forest in Half.

The area of the Chugach National
Forest, Alaska, which is to be erased
by the railroad that the government
is building from Seward to Fairbanks,
is reduced nearly one-half by proc
lamation, signed by President Wilson,
returning approximately 100000
acres to the public domain. This ac-
ton follows classification of the land
by the Forest Service showing that
the areas involved are not of high
enough timber value to warrant gov
eminent protection, and mean the
largest elimination of National for
est land ever made by Presidential
proclamation.
The boundaries of the forest as
redrawn by the Presidents procla-
nation, now contain approximately
5,S1S,oO0 acres, supporting about 8
billion feet of merchantable timber.
On the area thrown out Of the Forest
there is in the aggregate large
amount of timber, but it is so sparse
and scattered as to be of little or no
commercial value. The land remain
ing within the Forest, however, con-
tains the largest and most accessible
supply of timber for the development
of the great mineral fields to the
north of Boring River, and is the
region in which the Alaskan Engi-
neering Commission has been author
lied to cut IS million feet of timber
for use in constructing the govern.
ment's new railroad. On account Of
the time required for cutting and
seasoning construction timber, the
Commission has had 70 purchase some
lumber from Washington and Ore
gon, but as cutting has already COM
menced on the Chugach, it is ex-
pected that the Alaskan timber will
soon be serving the needs Of the rail-
roda builders.
The lands eliminated by the proc
lamation are in three large tracts
one along the entire southerly slope
Of the Chugach Mountains, the second
lying northeast of Seward, between
Resurrection Bay and Kings Bay, and
the third, northwest of the Kenai
Mountains in the region around Tus-
tamena and Slilak lakes. In addition
the towns of Hope, Sunrise, Kenai
and Ninilchek are eliminated. Ac-
cording to the Forest Service, tht
chance of locating hon1esteads in the
excluded lands is extremely small
since they contain few agriculture
areas, although in some localitie:
there are said to be. small patches
suitable for farming.

Testing the Value.
Of the kindergarten.

The value of the kindergarten as
tested by its results is discussed by
Miss A. M. Winchester in an annual
review of kindergarten work just is
sued by the commissioner of educa-
ton.
"For several years Investigations
have been undertaken in different
cities" says the review, 'for the
purpose of ascertaining the advan-
tages gained by children with kinder
garten training over non-kindergarten
children. The emphasis in these in
vestigations has been placed usually
upon the rate of speed with which
the children make the successive
grades"
"The fallacy of drawing conclusions
from such surveys says Miss Win
chester, ''is manifest at once. 1t is
well-nigh impossible to gauge the
speed correctly, because in the first
grade both kindergarten and non-kin-
dergarten children are placed to-

By this time the English ministers
knew the nature of the task which
awaited them in America.
1t was plain that they must strengthen
the frontier posts and maintain force
of soldiers in the colonies. if English
power was to be safe there, and Eng
fish lives.
Not fewer than twenty thousand men
would be needed; and it would be neces-
sary to organize government, civil as
we'll as military, in a more effective way.
1t might be necessary to pay the CO.

errors out of the general treasury Of

grants of the colonial legislatures.

expenditure of at least $500 coo year.
Mr.. Grenville. noyS at the head of the
government in England, was a lawyer
and a man of business. HE took public
business not as a duty which he was to
fulfil, but as O pleasure he was to en-
JOY and, unfortunately, he regarded
American affairs as ordinary matters of
duty and of business.
England had spent e60,00oo00 sterling
to put the French out Of America; $40,

debt, Her own sources of revenue were
quite run dry.

They therefore determined that, since
heavy additional expenditures must be

be made to supply a. least part of the
money to meet them.

on account of his rural credits prop

remark that rural credits don't inter-
