FTHI1 balance of trade in favor of the
i United States is unprecedented. There is
not, however, a corresponding prosperity.
For one reason, the great dmnution in i'm
ports magnifcs the nominal balance in our
favor. Another reason is that a large part
of our exports consists of raw material such
grains and cotton Large exports of raw
material are a bad sign They indicate that
a nation is backward in manufac urng, and
is permitting other nations to secure the
enormous profits resulting from the Conver-
sion of raw material into finished product
This is not so evident in the case of grains.
But certainly the United States would DOM
mate the worlds cotton goods markets il it
manufactured all of its own cotton. ma
tion that imports raw materials and ex-
ports finished products is a happy nation
but far happier is the nation that produces
its own raw material and exports it only in
finished forms our exports just now are
abnormal as are our imports. There is
nothing permanent in the situation, ana that
is why it is not more satisfactory Never
theess this period of heavy selling and
minimum buying means rapid strides in
making of ourselves creditor instead OF a
debtor nation.

The Victory for the Allies in Galicia

THE capture of the fortress of praemsyl
Il by the Russians is the most important
feat of the Allies since the German advance
to Paris was turned early in the war The
Russians now practically dominate Galicla
and the left wing Of their struggling armies
can advance, protected by the Carrathians,
while the right wing rests on the Baltic Sea.
SO long as Przemsyl was held by the Aus
trians the Russians were tied to the Galican
plains. The army which has been beseging
this stronghold will soon be able to advance
into western Gallcia and attack the small
Austrian force there on its way to the Prus-
sian frontier.
The siege of the city, which has lasted
nearly five months, would have attracted
wide attention if it had not been for the
multitude Of other remarkable and unprece-
dented operations in the vast field of opera
tions on the east and west But when the
history of the war is finally written we shall
learn of the heroic struggles of the be-
leaguered garrison and the besieging Rus
slams. But the Russian victory is interesting
now, not because of the length of the siege,
but because it comes at "A time when the
spring campaign is about to begin and be-
cause it must hearten the Allies by its dem
onstration of the ability of the Russian
troops to hang on until they win.

A CORRECTION

To the EDITOR Of the Evening Ledger:
Sir-The views attributed to me in the report
OF my address on neutrality. published in tho
EVENING LEDGER of Friday last are SO dIa-
metrically opposed to those which hold that
| find myself compelled to burden YOUR columns
with a correction,
I will not undertake to correct the entire
report, as this would involve too long com
munteaton. There Is one point, however, con-
ceFning which there should be no misunder-
standing, Your reporter, In his account of the
address, attributes to me the following state
ment:
II believe that this country owes IT TO itself
to stop the expectation of munitions of war
for use by the belllgerents This Is the only
prospect we now have Of aiding in the termina-
tion OF the war"
Not only was such statement made but
precisely the contrary proposition was upheld
| stated very clearly that any extension of
neutral obligations, TO include a prohibition on
the eXportation of arms and ammunition
would mean premium militarism and
would compel the peaceful countries to pre-
pare themselves against possible attack IL
after the outbreak OF hostilities 1t We're impos-
sible for belgerent to secure arms and am
munition from neutral countries, one of two
results would follow: either an undue advan-
tage would be given to those countries that
are giving their best thought and energy to
the preparation for war or the more peacefully
Inclined countries would be compelled to keep
on hand sufficient supply of arms and ann
munition for all possible contingencies In my
address distinctly stated that such a prohbi-
tion would mean a step backward and would
defeat the purpose which its advocates had In
mind.

The Test of the Revival

DEt1GGON is a living, breathing throb-
AN bng thing. 1t has led martyrs happily
to the stake and under its goad of love others
have penetrated into the far frontiers of the
world building new cities, new nations and
converting barbarism into civilization.
The revival in this city has been unprece-
dented in most Of it's manifestations. In 1t
men from all walks Of life have participated
Spiritual aspiration has become a topic of
! ordinary conversation. Vices, as we know
them, have been shot at and rlddled and ex-
posed not by the evangelist only, but by
scores Of citizens who formerly We're not
particularly we'll known in this field of effort.
The citadel of evil in this or any other large
city is politics. The gangster gathers about
him all parasites and Yields them into for
midable voting machine. The back door of
the saloon is his recruiting office. He can
find ready soldiers in the ranks of men who
have long since abandoned the pursuit of
good and have dedicated themselves, more
or less desperately. to a hand-to-mouth ex-
istence.
The machine in Philadelphia has acquired
its strength and veneer Of responsibility
through the active passive support of
commercial leaders who, the community has a
right to expect, should be militant in OPP
position to political crookedness as they are
to unfalrness in industrial undertakings
1t is a good thing If the revival has opened
the eyes and ambitions of hundreds Of down.
and-outs, of thousands of lukewarm citizens /
who have been lazy in their religion. But .
the revival, on the other hand, has scored a
failure if it has not broken the
chains that tie many of the business
leaders Of the city to the Organizations car.
The test of the revival to a large extent,
will come when the Philadelphia delegation
votes on local option, for the success or fail
ure of the bill rests on the attitude of the
representatives.

adjectvcs like glorious" ana "conquering" are

"If the Road Be Long"
In many of them the note of friendship for
the Allies, especially Belgium. is sounded often
Indeed, one writer has set a chant of friendship
for Belsium to the tune of the Marseillaise
1t can be translated as follows:
All hail. sons of Belgium bold;
Be thou our brothers evcrmore
Thy hearts wrought in heroic mold
Your deeds of arms the ages story
Holds craven deep in letters gold.
Twill for children ne'er grow old
Uniting us with YOU in glory.

That cathedral called immortal,
Proudly rose on high.

Publicity Did Not Make "Billy" Sunday

IT is the newspapers that have made
Billy Sunday they have given him so
much publicty.-The Rev. Samuel A. Eliot
ID. u, president of the American Unitarian
Association
A LII of the latter part of Doctor Eliot's
L \ statement is true but only so per cent. of
The first part of it is correct. The newspapers
have given BILLY" Sunday all the publicity
that he deserved because he has been the
most interesting newsmaker in PHILADELPHIA
this winter There is no doubt that MANY
persons attended the tabernacle meetings be-
cause they read about them in the papers
But II the evangelist had not had something
to give to the people after they got to the
tabernacle they would not have gone there
at the rate of 10000 a day for II weeks The
newspapers are powerful but they cannot
make something out of nothing. If n man
has anything to offer that the people want
or can be interested in, the newspapers by a
campaign of publicity, can send people to his
tabernacle, his church, his store or his fac
tory.
The EnElishmen who have been creditinr
the BRITISH newspapers with the success of
the recruiting movement have overrated the
power or the press, just as it has been over
rated by Doctor Eliot. The newspapers have
given publicity to the need of the British
Empire in this world crisis. that is all. They
might call on the Britsher to enlist until
they filled all the space in their columns with
appeals but if the cause for which he was
