A BENEFACTOR RETIRES

Upon reaching the age limit Of
sixty-four years next Saturday, Col.
L. Mervin Maus, surgeon general of
the Eastern Department of the army
on Governors Island, will retire, af-
ter a notable career in the service.
Colonel Maus was selected by Gov
ernor General Taft to clean up Ma
Mia and remove the menace of bu-
bonic plague from the Philippines.
His task was accomplished, and in
addition he drove smallpox from the
Filipino capital by means Of compul-
sorry vaccination, and established the
leper colony on Culion Island.
As first American head of the pub
lie health department in the islands
Colonel Maus won enviable distinc-
tien, and is largely to be credited
with making the archipelago a fit
place for the white man. But his
greatest service was to the natives
themselves, for the improved health
conditions were the very foundation
for the civilizing of the people.
Colonel Maus has long been IA
nous in army circles besides for his
hostility to intoxicating liquors. Only
q few weeks before the outbreak of
the European war he declared zone
reform that is needed in all armies
is greater restrictions concerning al
cohol in time of war;" and added it
as his opinion that "any officer of the
army or navy who renders himself
incompetent or stupid through drink
in actual warfare might just as well
enter into reasonable relations with
the enemy and sell his country"
His opinion has been vindicated by
the great belligerents at war today
as we'll as by the Secretary of the
American navy. His indictment OF
alcohol is one of the most sweeping
ever made. He says:
Practically all Of the crime committed
in the army, directly or indirectly, ma.
be traced to the results of alcohol. Muir
ders, robberies. desertions, courts
martial, and dismissal of officers. prlsol
and guardhouse sentences Of enliste'
men, fights. brawls, broken friendships
misery, wretchedness, and moral de
generacy should generally be ascribed t
the use of intoXicants.
Colonel Maus has given the coun
try forty-one years of his labor, an
has been a benefactor to a degre
that cannot be estimated. He will
carry into retirement with him tn
best wishes of the nation.

State, War, and Navy
Watch Force Reduced

The watch force OF the State. War
and Navy buildings is about to be
reduced by 25 per cent of its present
strength. in accordance with orders
issued by Col. w. w. Harts. who is
also responsible for the orders putting
all watchmen and elevator men in
uniform, and banishing George" the
little misshapen bootblack, from the
War Department.
Yesterday by Colonel Harts' order
the front doors of the big building
were closed for the first time since
the building was erected. This course
gave the colonel three additional men
for a special patrol which he has in
stituted. and which will be carried on
by thirty instead of the forty watch =
men now employed. Colonel Harts
estimates that by this move he will
save the Government about $1,000 a
year.

100000 bushels of wheat would
have seemed of big value at
100000.
Cotton tells the same story of
greater quantities sold abroad,
though not of higher export price a
pound. Ordinarily the export sea-
son for large quantities ends with
March, even February. This year,
in spite of the blockade by the allies
of Germany and Austria, where
there is urgent need of cotton, our
exports are putting those of previous
years to the blush.
In the week ending April 8 we
sent out 10000 more bales than the
year before; April 10, 10000 more (;
April II, $4,000 more; April "a,
10000 more, and last week $4,000
more.
How long we can continue to sell
from $1O,OOO,O0O to $13,000,0O0 of
wheat week the Lord only knows;
but American sellers seem able to
dig it up right along at the high
price.
We can ship cotton in many and
heavy cargoes till the next crop
comes in. If from 100000 to 100000
bales week, representing from
$7,OOO,OO0 to $1O,OO0,00O, seem to be
doing the lions share of holding up
our prodigious foreign trade bal
ance, there is no reason, so far as
concerns the surplus supply, why
that record should stop.
We have exported thus far of last
seasons crop nearly 100000 bales
while our own spinners, North and
South, have taken about 100000
bales. But we still have more than
100000 bales to sell. In the seven.
teen weeks to September they would
meet a buying demand of nearly
100000 bales a week. In money
these 100000 bales, averaging, a!
they will, closer to $50 a bale thar
to $55, will bring from cotton an
other $30O,OOO,OOO.
Arms and ammunition are the ex
port sensations in the spotlight; bu
wheat and cotton, not to mention
corn and other agricultural prod
ucts, continue and will continu
to roll up towering credits for u
all over the world, to pay for Ameri
can securities sold here in bulk b,
foreign holders, and to draw out re
peated loans for governments and in
dividuals abroad, north of us, soutl
of US and beyond the seas.
The Washington times., 1915-05-03
WHAT MAKES OUR BALANCES

The international trade clock these
days is reset very frequently. In
recent years we have not had until
1914 a big surplus of wheat to offer
foreign consumers; for what we had
they were not keen to pay high
prices. Last season we had a sur
plus of some 3OO,OOO,OOO bushels. For
a great part of it belligerent coun-
tries have been eager to bid nearly
twice as much bushel as in years
Of peace. Their demand continues,
while our supply approaches a point
of exhaustion of last years crops,
but comes in sight of this years.
Spring shipments of wheat abroad
in excess of 100000 bushels week
are unusual. But just as we were
shipping out 100000 bushels a
week in the early part of January,
as against a normal 100000 to
100000 bushels for that time of
year, we are still sending such ex-
ports across the seas at the same
relative increase over previous years,
even higher.
In January we were shipping some
100000 bushels a week, as against
some 100000 in the previous year
But that was no more of gain than
we have been making since--aftel
the big export season usually has
closed.
In the last week of March we
shipped more than 10000, 900 bushels
against 2,650,00O in the previous
year. In the first week of April we
shipped 100000, against 2,48O,OO(
in 1914; in the second week, 7,1OO,,
900, against 2,8O0,0OO; in the thirc
week, 9,7OO,OOO, against 100000
and in the fourth week, 100000
against 2,160,O0O.
And 100000 bushels of exported
wheat this spring have been worth
nearly $l3,OOo.oOo. A year age
