OUR VAST FOREIGN TRADE

A foreign trade balance in our
favor Of more than $1S6, ,0O0, 900 for
October carried the total for the first
ten months Of the calendar year be-
yond $1,626,8s6,000. or . clean bill
lion and a quarter more than for
the corresponding ten months of the
previous year.
The weekly returns for this month
Of November have been SO gigantic
that unless there is an utter COL
lapse Of our exports between now
and next Tuesday, this, the eleventh
month Of the calendar year, can
scarcely fail to 60 even higher than
October went.
It seems safe to assume that with
what has already been achieved in
this month the trade balance thus
far in 1915 already stands at ap-
proximately 81 800, 900 900, with De-
cember still to be heard from. This
gives reasonable assurance of a
trade balance for the whole year, as
predicted by this newspaper for
many weeks, Of approximately two
billions Of dollars.
How much further this record Of
stupendous selling to foreign coun.
tries is to carry US no man can say
But it must now be clear to every
one that, at the rate we are sending
our products abroad, taking gold

foreign bonds and notes in payment
we are becoming with marvellous
swiftness the greatest financia

WAShINOToN'S ART OUTLOOK

The handicap under which WASH
ington labors in its development as
an art center is aptly illustrated in
the situation it would face were
Joseph E. Widener to decide to hang
in this city the famous paintings in
his late fathers notable collection.
Even were this city to get the col
lection there would be no place to
put it.
Under these circumstances it is
doubtful whether Washington art
lovers will be highly successful in
urging the claims of this city to the
collection. This is not the first
time they have faced such embar-
rassment. The Smithsonian Institu-
tion, before this. has had to forego
notable collections of various sorts,
including the extensive collection Of
armor made by the late Mr.. Riggs.
because there was no place to dis
play it.
After the National Gallery Of Art
had been launched in the building
of the New National Museum,
Charles L. Freer, of Detroit. an
nounced his intention Of willing his
collection Of paintings to the new
gallery. He had to be told that
there would not be sufficient wall
space, and he placed $1,000. 900 in
trust to erect building for the col
lection.
Not all donors would be generous
enough to give the Capital price
less collection Of art treasures, then
erect for it a building to put them
in. Until Congress sees fit to take
steps in this direction the National
Capital will have to 90 on declining
gifts Of inestimable worth.
Meanwhile Washingtonians who
would like to see the Nations Capi.
tai rank with the capitals of the Old
World in artistic interest, will have
to curb their ambitions for want OF
a place to display the art gifts the
city receives!

HELP THE BOY ScbUTsi

II you are pacificist and want to
give practical proof Of it-contrib-
ute to the Boy Scout budget; be-
cause in the Boy Scout you find the
manliness, the fairness and courtesy,
the open-mindedness, the principles
OF justice. equality, and honesty that
no other organization so broadly
and SO effectually instills in the boy.
II you are in favor of national pre-
paredness and wish to demonstrate
that your principles are honest and
patriotic-contribute to the Boy
Scout budget; because the Boy
Scout represents the healthy. self
reliant, clean-minded, thoroughly re-
liable, well-equipped out-of door
youth of the country, prepared for
every emergency and equipped with
special knowledge which added to
very little military training will
make him the finest soldier in the
world.
If you give the subject no thought
from either of these points Of view
and simply want to put a premium
on a boy being a real boy in the
best sense of the word humanity
can develop-subscribe to the Boy
Scout budget; because the Boy Scout
is the full realization of healthy
boyhood, the avenue for the escape
Of all the pent up steam that nature
puts into the growing youth. the
guide post that points the way from
the morally and physically fetid at
mosphere Of the saloon, the dive,
the catch penny devices where a
semblance of boyish hopes and
dreams bats an invisible net that
is spread before every boy in the
country and would lead to his down
fall.
Finally-if you don't view the
question from any of these angles,
contribute to the Boy Scout budget
anyhow-because the Boy Scouts
form the finest school for American
democracy, the greatest academy for
honest manhood and the finest col
lego to develop useful citizenship
that exists in this country today.

TOO MUCH EXPERT ADvIcel

William H. Saunders, who will
preside over the new naval consult
ing board. speaking before the
Washington Society of Engineers
iast evening, gave food for thought
to those who are making a serious
study Of the problems of national
defense.
1t is entirely possible that, by
leaving the entire problem of ma
tional defense to military experts,
this country may fall into the diff
Guilty similar to that which handi-
capped Great Britain in the early
months of the European war, as a
result of the viewpoint and policies
Of Lord Kitchener. If the war has
proved anything so far it is that
there is vastly more to a modern
conflict than fighting. That fact
was what Kitchener, and the old-line
military men failed to appreciate.
From their mistakes this country
can learn a lesson. Organization OF
our industries is no less needful, il
we would be adequately prepared
than building large navy and re-
cruiting a large army. A United
States Senator is quoted as saying
that the naval consulting board viii

THE WAR IN THE SOUTHEAST

A mixture of motives doubtless is
responsible for the Germanic effort
at relief Of Constantinople and
opening of a direct route to the
Golden Horn; but it is safely to be
assumed that economic reasons have
weighed heavily, along with the
military.
The blockade of Germany in the
North Sea has for long time been
highly efficient. The Baltic was for
many months the weak spot; but the
entente powers have been able to
introduce powerful and highly ef-
ficient feet Of submarines into that
land-locked sea. Cooperating with
Russian naval power these have
been successful in inficting severe
losses on the German merchant feet
that ferries all kinds of supplies
from Scandinavia to the north Ger
man ports.
All reports from reasonably i'm
partial sources agree that Germany
now faces a greater danger Of eco
nomic than Of military exhaustion
in the near future. Despite conf
dent official expressions, and the
German bluff at willingness to feed
Poland the coming winter, it is es-
tablished beyond cavil that Germany
had rather poorer crops than most
Of Europe this past season. and that
the balance between needs and sup.
plies is constantly turning to the
side that means deprivation in many
directions.
Relief by way Of the sea has como
to be recognized as impossible, since
the breakdown of the submarine
warfare. That warfare never seri-
ously aimed at opening up German
ports; it was hoped merely that if
the undersea craft should realize all
the expectations that rested upon
them, England might be in part
blockaded. But the effort has failed ;
while the screws have constantly
frightened on Germany, they have
loosened in British quarters.
So Germany and Austria must
turn in another direction, and the
drive at Constantinoplc represents
their effort to break through the
circle that, though widening as Ger
man arms have pressed forward, has
nevertheless been maintained as an
effective blockade against trade with
the world at large. The capital OF
the Turk represents possibility OF
reaching out to the Levant and the
Orient for supplies. Even at a fear.

conquest Of an open road to Con.

CONSTANTINOPLR...AND BE.
YOND

Napoleon, fresh from his most
brilliant campaign, the conquest of
Italy which he effected at the age Of
twenty-six, was sent away to Egypt
with French army and fleet, in
the effort to strike at England's
Oriental possessions; taking Britain
in the one exposed flank that seemed
to offer even the possibility of sue
cess for her enemy. It was the road
to India that Napoleon sought to
open; precisely as German ambition
now yearns to wrest the canal from
British grip and then to pass on to
India.
That campaign came near ending
the Napoleonic career untimely.
There never was day when it gave
serious promise of accomplishing
more than to arouse the British en-
pire to the utmost effort against the
conqueror.
How will Germany fare in an ef-
fort, such as she seems determined
to make, in that same quarter? To-
day Egypt is British, and its loyalty
seems to have sustained every test
of the war despite German machi-
nations. India Is more loyal to the
empire than ever before; a strength
rather than a weakness. In the
farther east is the Australian re-
public, powerful enough to contrib
ute materially in men and substance
to the strength Of the empire. Final
ly, on the east coast of Asia lies the

factor even to be dreamed of in the
days Of Napoleon; today, one Of the

earned primacy in the east. All
these are, by affiliation or alliance
parts Of the power of the British
empire. 1t was never half so strong
in the east, compared to other Eu
ropean powers, as it is now.
Suppose Germany could conquer
the way from Constantinople t.
Egypt, take the canal, and make
serious threat against India. Ions
before even that much had been ac
complished, Japan would have beef
aroused to action. A million Jap
anese soldiers, cap-a-pie, could b,

poleon fought for Oriental empire
