THE SCOPE OF WAR TRADE

Every day brings testimony that
the war trade is developing a scope
and variety that must go far to
assuage the fears of people who
have dreaded too much specializa-
ton in munitions and arms. It is
plain enough that if we should get
million men in this country, a bill
lion dollars worth of extraordinary
plants, at, work making powder,
shells, and arms, there would be a
big problem readjusting conditions
when, one day, the firing of arms
and the burning of powder should
cease. That million men would have
to be redistributed to other occupa-
tions; those plants would be idle and
comparatively useless. Securities,
many of them greatly inflated, based
on the bonanza Of war orders, would
shrink. Both the industrial and the
financial consequences would be
grave.
The best antidote for just such
conditions is to make the war-order
business as general in it's character
as possible; to have Americans pro-
ducing for war use articles for
which there will also be market
in peace times; to take advantage of
war demands to introduce American
goods and get Europe familiar with
them.
From Pittsburgh comes the story
that single order for 5,835 railway
cars has been received there, and is
expected to be placed among manu-
facturers of the district. That is a
kind of war manufacturing that
lays foundation for permanent bust
ness relations in future. Suppose
these cars are going to Russia. Rus
sia will continue needing cars after
the war, and will have it's capacity
for building them reduced by reason
of the destruction of industrial
plants in the war zones, and the loss
of men able to operate them. Amer
lean cars will be in prospect of con-
tinued demand for many years.
The same is true of American To-
comotives, automobiles, rails, and
everything else that has to do with
railroads. The iron districts of
Russia and France are today to a
large extent in Russian control. If
they are returned, after the war, to
their original owners, it will take
a long time to re-establish their re-
lations to the business that they
held before the struggle; if they re-
main in German control, Germany
will find herself without means to
distribute her products, without
ships, without financial means to
resume business, without touch with

BETTER RAILWAY RETURNS

Partial reports to the Interstate
Commerce Commission of June rail-
road earnings again show that the
only thing the matter with the bet
ter transportation systems of the
West and the South is a traffic rate
too low to permit them to give a
first-class service and make a decent
living.
With the increased rate granted
them by the commission the East
ern carriers have been doing so
much better since the early part of
the year that those thus far report
ing for June show their net revenue
a mile made gain of nearly 23 per
cent, with rise from $618 a mile in
June of last year to $758 in June
this year. But the Western lines
thus far reporting for June went up
In net earnings only from $276 a
mile to $314 mile, or some 10 per
cent, while the gain of the Southern
lines thus far reporting is scarcely
traceable, having moved only from
$168 to $172.
AS the eighty-nine railroads
whose returns make up these figures
represent about half the mileage of
the country, it is probable that the
figures for all the roads will not
show great difference from those
results we have just explained. In
any event, there is no doubt that the
Eastern railways, with the very
careful economies they must still
practice, are thriving reasonably;
but the Western roads, with the
practice of the same rigid econo-
mics, but without a living rate yet
granted to them by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, are not very

POSITION OF DIPLOMATS.

Will remove Carranza. He knows that
the south Americans are opposed to US
ing force. He knows. too. that It is pro-
posed that the United States shall place
an embargo on arms and supplies des-
tined to him. while letting them go in
freely to his enemies: but he cannot be
frozen out by that plan for long time.
!nsurrectos In Mexico are versatile
lot. and Carranza has enough backing to
keep him going for an indefinite time
unless he Is wiped out by some master
military stroke. His advisers think he
needs only to stand pat; and he is easily
the .pattest stander on this continent.

Sound If Law.
There has been demand for some de-
tails about the program OF going back
to the Nader cabinet. for a President.
The more that plan is Investigated. the

that article points clearly to Tagle as
the man OF the present hour.
The theory is that Carranza was an
instrument of a just. constitutional
carsc so long as he was engaged In rid
ding the country of Huerta but so soon
as he had triumphed and Huerta was
driven out. it was Carranza's duty to
revert to the order Of the constitution.
When. being in military control he
failed to do this. and insisted on holding
power himself as first chief, he became
an usurper just as Huerta had been

rnnza to offer his services to Tagle. and
have him sworn In as President. Car
ranza didn't do It, and has never in

Special Election Plan.
The present state of anarchy has last
ed so long that the Mexican house Of
delegates terms have expired. and half
the senators. who are elected for four
years. have also lost their mandates
So there is nothing to do but have a
new election as soon as possible. The
! Mexican system provides for a special
election II such cases.
Altogether. the constitutional plan is

force: but combination of the United
, States with the Latin american nations

President Plays Golf
On Rain-SOaked Links

Wilson is rapidly becoming a golf
fiend."
The President with his nephew, Prof.
George Howe. of the University OF
North Carolina, and DR.. Cary T. Gray
son, were on the links before o'clock
this morning wearing rubbers and
heavy sweaters. The course was soaked
by a heavy rain and another downpour
threatened all forenoon.
The third week of the present vaca-
tion trip began today. and the PreA-
dent expects to stay another week.

The other obstacle to carly peace IL
that the Latin-American governments
that have been brought into conference
on the subject Of Mexico are determined
in their opposition to the use OF armed
force within the borders Of Mexico.
Their home governments are rather
forced to adopt this attitude because OF
the prevalence throughout Latin-Amer-
Ice. of the fear that any use Of force
would be preliminary to an occupation
by the United States and to an expan-
sion of American sovereignty into
Me xico.
Attempts to tighten the burden Of the
United States responsibility In Mexico
by dividing 1t up among all America.
may even prove unfortunate for the
whole situation. The concert of Eu-
rope" for many years was able to agree
that the Turk was an undesirable citi-
zen OF that continent. but there never
was harmony enough in the concern to
make effective action against the Turk
possible Abdul Hamiu played off the
powers and their jealousies one against

he was In power and Carranza Is doing
1t how.
The Wilson Program.
The United States program for estab-
lishment Of new order in Mexico
Is the ''constitutional'' program that
has been explained in this column,
weeks ago; that Is. to go back to the
Madero cabinet and take the man who.
in virtue OF his membership In that
cabinet. Is now next in the cons,itu-
tionvl line Of presidential succession.
He is Vasquez Tagle. minister of justice.
Tagle Is a very eminent lawyer in
10 -, Il
attainments. and more real nerve than
has been commonly credited to him. 1t
is being recalled that when Huerta was
at the height Of his power. Tagle. at a
public gathering. coming face to face
with the usurper. put his hands behind
him and declined to speak or to shake
hands. The incident Mortified a good
many people. who firmly believed that
Tagle would disappear mysteriously or
be killed in some carefully prearranged
brawl But 1t didn't happen, and now
the wise people In Mexico City are
figuring that Tasle. by doing just wha,
he did In the most public way he could
took the best insurance policy on his
life.
, There has been a good deal OF quiet
investigation Of Tagle since II was tirs,
announced that this constitutional pro.
gram was mooted. The more that has
| been found out about him. the better
he has looked.

country little while ago. he discussed
Mexican conditions with people very
