The metal mining interests are very
prosperous. The PRODUCERS OF silver are
having their innings now. the white met

cents per ounce in the New York mar

the war. Copper IL going into consump-

The coal and coke Industries are busy
I'D to the limit OF the labor supply. and
1t may be said that generally through
cut the industries in which male labor
Is required the limit OF capacity with the
present labor supply has been about
reached This Is . fact for the considera-
tion of people who have been favoring
drastic changes in our immigration laws.
We may plan for the expansion Of our
industries and their entrance into foreig u
markets. but the plans cannot be carried
out without the immigrant. The common
labor supply comes from no other source.
The labore- improves his condition by
coming TO America. the condition OF his
fellows who remain in Europe Is i'm
proved. and the American-born popula-
ton which has been fitted for higher en-
ployment than common labor Is bene-
fitted.
Transportation and Trade.
The railroads have come suddenly into
a great period OF prosperity. as the result
of well balanced traffic close to the ga
pscity of their equipment. On account OF
the great fixed investment which the
business requires. net results in railroad
ing improve rapidly as traffic rises close
to capacity. AS they must be always an
ticipating and providing for future busi-
ness. il is seldom tnat for any length Of
time they can utilize their capacity as
completely as Is the case just now. II
the volume of traffic is maintained they
will be in position to make extensive i'm
provements. and expenditures upon these
will be very helpful in maintaining pros
porous conditions.
All of the industries and occupations
which rely directly upon the patronage
of the public are OF course helped by
the general state of employment which
now exists.

THE OPEN FORUM.
Proposed Increase of Speed Limit for
Vehicles Is Opposed.

Editor of The Washington Herald
The effort now being made by auto
mobile owners to increase the speed
limit in the District OF Columbia de-
serves more than passing consideration
The proposition i5 of vital interest to
every man. woman and child who uses
the streets They alone assume the
greater risk that increased speed would
bring. Il is of infinitely less concern to
the automobile owner. because business
or pleasure prompts his efforts for an
increase OF speed.
A writer in the Post OF November I
says. "A greater speed limit is greatly
to be desired as a matter of convenience
He also says. "A greater speed limit
would be safe
Over 3O.0o automobiles have been reg
isteTed in the District. and their number
Is increasing at an astonishing rate Az
there is no annual registration at pres
ent. il is impossible TO say Just how
many are alive now: perhaps three
fourths of that number. The automobile
editor of the Washington Post says. in
Its issue Of November y. that there are
over 500 automobile owners and drivers
In Washington who are continually COM
claiming tina; twelve miles per hour is
too slow for safe and efficient opera
ton
Inc speeu limit Is now twelve miles per
hour. which is about the speed of an ex-
ceptionally good horse on the run. This
limit is often greatly exceeded IL
policeman is not in evidence. Would
greater speed insure greater safety, as
some of its advocates assume would be
the case? II would seem unreasonable.
even ridiculous. TO think so. IL is becom-
ing more and more difficult for pedestri-
ans TO cross the streets. Automobiles
are becoming so numerous, and fit about
the streets 50 rapidly and often from dif-
ferent directions. that accidents and mar
row escapes are frequent. Increased
speed at night would about double the
risk. as 1t is A difficult matter to cor
rectly judge the distance of an approa ch-
ing automobile by its lights. In the coun-
try an increase of the speed limit would
not matter so much.
Considering the greater risk TO the
pedestrian. IL would seem that with the
number Of automobiles rapidly increas-
ing. ard the varying competency Of their
drivers. the speed limit in the city

FOR U. s. VESSELS
CERTAIN COURSES FOR AMERI.

TING INTO MINE FIELDS,

Washington.-American shipmasters
sailing for Bremen, Germany, are ad-
vised to take the northerly course In
information to the State Department
from Ambassador Gerard at Berlin,
although he says that the German ad'
miralty declines to take responsibility
regarding courses steered outside OF
German waters. The ambassador
transmitted report from the Ameri.
can consul at Bremen, who said that
the course had been recommended by
the Bremen Board Of Trade, The
northern course is described as fol-
lows:
For ships up to 1000 net tons,
track Of steamers Of low power bound
inward from the Ambrose channel
lightship, true east until 80 degrees
west and then to o point well off the
coast Of ireland to the north Of the
Shetland Islands in Wow Of the Nor.
wegian coast bound for the Listor
Deep pilot station.
"Ships outward bound from the
Wester river in charge OF u pilot to
Lister Deep, should take course well
Off the coast and then to q point 30
to 40 miles off the Norwegian coast
and free Of the Shetland Islands, From
there, the course should be well off
tho coasts Of England and ireland to
the western islands, and from there a
true west coarse taken to o point
whore Nantucket Lightship bears
northwest true"
The consul at Bremen adds that the
captain Of the steamer Navajo, now
at Bremen, followed this course from
New York, passing the Fair Islands
and south Of the Shetland Islands, and
recommends the course highly,

Turkish Ships Are Reported to Be AS

Killed, 8 Missing and rs Wounded.

London.-The British battleshipS
Queen Elizabeth and Prince George
and the battle cruiser InfeXible, with
their eight 15-inch and their dozen ~
inch guns, attacked the principal forts
on the European side Of the naTows
in the Dardanelles.
Two of the forts were damaged
and the magazine Of third was
blown up. Guarding the narrowest
part Of the straits from the European
side, they are believed to be the
strongest forts along the entire water
way although those opposite almost
equal them.
One fort, indicated on the admiralty
maps as 81" has two 14-inch guns that
could scarcely reach the Queen Eliza
beth, which fired 29 rounds from her
l5-inch weapons by indirect fire and
had the advantage Of aeroplanes to
aid her gunners, The other two forts
have three 11-inch guns and some
smaller cannon.
Cruisers continue attacks on the for
tincations along the coast Of Asia MI
nor, from Besika, near the entrance to
the Dardanelles, to Smyrna, doubtless
to prevent e-enforcements being sent
to the straits, where there are many
Turkish troops, with whom the ma.
rines landed to complete destruction OF
the forts at the entrance to the straits
have been In contact. 1t was in tho
land fighting that the allies suffered
casualties, according to the British re.
port, Of 10 killed, rs wounded and
three missing, The Turks, however,
place the British casualties at a higher
figure.
