EXPERT FIGURES VS.. wArrERsoN.

WE have Ions and aorrowfully suspected that Marse
w Henry Waerson. of the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal had reached the age for quiet Oserizaton But
that the Colonel should overlook the fact that the
blood of Europe has insulated the industries Of this
country from the pers OF the Democratic tariff for
evenue-ony policy shows that he has indeed reached
his dotage In recent editorial he declares.
"The cry of the Republicans when the Democrats
tackled the tariff that pauper and cheap fac
tory products from Europe would paralyze American
Industry and pauperize American labor. The
United States has for the last year led the world in
exports Despite a lack Of adequate transportation IA
cilities OF normal times, this country has marketed
much Of its normal products. and has marketed at
good prices products that not in times sent
TO Europe. Although it has not sold cotton normally
the country stands for the first time it's history
within about per cent of Great Brtain's export hg-
ures in times of peace"
II Colonel Watterson will study the export figures
Tor the period September. 1914, to June 1915 when
war orders began flowing into this country he will
learn that we exported munitions Of war to the value
OF Sl2O6OOO000 compared with 1891 900 900 for SINH

For the past six months the viii
son administration has been debating
with the German government the
right OF German submarines to MUIR
der American citizens travelling upon
unarmed belligerent ships under the
full protection of international law.
For four months the Wilson admin
istration has been arguing with Ger
many over the actual murder of more
than a hundred American citizens
sunk on the Lusitania. These men,
women and children sailed on a Brit
ish ship having the full guarantee OF
the President Of the United States and
the assurance that if any attack
were made upon them the assailant
would be held to strict accountable
ity by the President and the nation.
But while the President had pub
licly and formally said this, the Ger
man government was fully and cor
rectly informed by those who were
able TO speak for the administration
with authority that the Presidents
formal proclamation was meaningless.
No one in authority warned the Amer
ican citizens who took ship on the
Lusitania of this fact; only the Ger
man propagandists in this country,
taking pity on the ignorant victims
published notices in the press OF the
fact But the victims believed that
the words Of the President we're more
than the warnings of the German
propagandists.
They were wrong and they went to
their deaths, Their deaths are just
as chargeable TO the Wilson admin
stration as the deaths Of those Amer
lean boys who wore our uniform and
went to Vera Cruz in obediance to
executive order. The Lusitania vic
Tins were sacrificed because the ad-
ministration had said what IL did not
mean and had let the German govern
ment know that it did not mean what
it had said.
The Tribune has at all times been
willing 10 support a Democratic ma
tional administration honestly and
honorably defending American rights.
Its own editorial columns are the
best proof Of the readiness IL has
manifested to drop every partisan con-
sideration in the case of Mr.. Wilson
and the German affair.
But The Tribune is not prepared TO
SUI port a y administration Republi-
can or Democratic in provoking a
wanton and wicked war, wholly un-
necessarily. It was prepared to sup.
port a policy which, honestly execut-
ed, brought war on the issue that neu-
tral lives should not be taken by Ger.

The Counfry's Stake in the
Foreign Credit Negotiations
(From the New York Sun.)

As is his habit in discussing the largcl
questions Of public policy, Mr.. James j.
Hill takes the broadest view of this
country's concern in the provision OF
large American credits against which
Great Britain and her allies may draw
for the purchase Of our goods. He says;
"The maintenance of a stable rate OF
foreign exchange is OF far more impor-
tance to the United States than to Eng
land. It is not too much TO say ii IN
this the prosperity of the American ai-
mer depends. Il is most essential to the
prosperity of our people that our wheat
should get to market and find a pur
chaser. If the sale of our wheat does
not 60 forward steadily TO the purchaser
he Will certainly turn elsewhere. The
same principles apply TO all our foreign
trade. Our cotton Is absolutely neces-
sary TO Europe, for the field Of supply
Is limited. The same is true of such
manufactures as the warning nations at
present wish to buy, but it is the far
mer who stands TO lose most if we refuse
to make reasonable credit arrangements
for the improve mt Of our crops or if
that arrangement should be long de-
layed"
Too much stress cannot be laid on the
fact that the conferences are concerned
primarily not with traffic in war NUM-
tions, but with the tremendous stake

NO DANCER OF
CITY ice FAMINE

Local ice dealers have shown them
selves equal to the unusually heavy
demand for ice during the hot wave.
Wilmington is indeed fortunate in this
respect, since many of the nearby
cities are suffering for the want of the
cool and refreshing product The de
iveries during the present spell ex-
ceed any output for the same period
during the summer.
Last month was an exceptionally
poor month for dealers in ice Many
of the machines used TO produce the
cool blocks we're shut down. The ma
chimes not in operation were receiving
the attention of repairmen.
The plant of the Diamond Ice Com
pany has been running full time and
will continue 10 do so until the storage
houses are replenished from the drain
that they have received. There is no
danger of a local ice famine.

which the nation has in the mainte-
nance of foreign markets for our export
able margin of food products and other
staples.
In the belligerent countries which
have come to us as borrowers energetic
campaigns are under way for the volun-
tary and compulsory practice Of popular
economy which will reduce importations
to a minimum. Especially is this true
of Great Britain, whose financial
strength must be exerted not only for
her own needs but to support the
finances of her allies A writer in a
British quarterly review, the Round
Table, says:
"Ihe war Is becoming a war Of eX-
haustion. The most rigid economy is
necessary to escape exhaustion. The
country should be consuming far less
than usual; yet as a matter of fact it is
consuming more. The burden on MS is
exceedingly heavy. If we wait until we
must before we cut deep into our habits
of extravaganza we shall rue it not only
during the war. but in the collapse which
viii come after"
In such choice of markets as the al
lied countries may have they will GER
tainly buy in those markets where they
can buy to the best advantage, and in
the reckoning Of advantages the credits
which they can obtain will count
heavily.

with Germany to the Arabic incident
there never was the smallest reason
why Germany should believe that the
administration meant anything it said
in its notes, and there was every rea-
son why It should doubt everything.
It is not accurate TO say that Germany
has steadily dealt in bad faith with
the Wilson administration. It met
notes themselves not issued in good
faith, hut with the purpose to de-
oeive, with coin of precisely the same
false character.
Now the German government is
aware of the fact that the people of
the United States are debating the
American policy and that the Ameri-
can policy is real. And the German
government is displaying a wholly
different spirit. Such being the case,
the German government is entitled
TO a full and fair chance TO meet the
new conditions. II cannot Justly be
assailed for past bad faith with the
American government as the Ameri-
can government has dealt with the
American people.

man submarines. It was willing to
see this country fight for the vindioa-
ton Of international law and the or
dinary rules of humanity But it is not
now willing to see this country fight
because Mr.. Wilson and hi admins
tration have so bungled the handling
of the German affair and so deserved
the censure and contempt of the
country that they can find no escape
now but to go TO war.
The Tribune views with intense sus-
picion the reports coming from the

sisting rpon the gravity of the present
status If the German-American .ndif-
ference They do not come from the
President directly The Tribune
knows the circumstances of their ori-
gin, and it believes it understands the
purpose But IL thinks that it would
be a shameful thing for this country
TO be involved in war TO save the
shattered prestige of the administra.
ton.
The situation with Germany is not
nearly as grave as It has been at any
time since the first American note
was sent. II is not as grave because
sor the first time the German ambas
sador and the German government
have a real reason for believing that
there is actual determination in this
country to establish certain rights
The German ambassador knows this
because he knows that the moral
though not the physical, control OF
the situation has passed from the
hands of a hitherto timid administra
ton, absolutely under the domination
of domestic politicians, TO those OF
the people, who are solicitous for
American honor, not for any campaign
results.
And the German ambassador has
! indicated an appreciation of this fact
by all that he has said and done
since the public ousburst at the time
of the Arabic incident first revealed
the situation in its new light Ills gov
ernment has given signs of a wholly
