WHERE AMERICANS WIN.

British motor car manufacturers
have catered to the rich, the American
to the average man, and that Is why
the British are not able to compete
against tho American cheap car.
This Ia the conclusion of writer
in the Westminster Gazette, who puts
the case in these words:
81 foresaw the trouble that was COM
Ing from America, and knew that we
could not hold our own against the en-
tighten ed methods Of that country un-
less we made determined effort to
ret rid OF the effete system which now
makes us look rather silly as an auto
mobile producing country In the eyes
Of our competitors across the Atlantic
.'The British manufacturers appeal

ary. and he has never seriously en-
>.yureu 10 consider the motor car
from the point of view Of the million"
TIE Autocar, journal devoted to
motoring, asks editorially this week
what will become Of the British motor
Industry after the war. It points out
fhat every day of the war the Ameri-
IN manufacturers become stronger
and stronger and the European weaker
and weaker. Protection is suggested
as a remedy. To this the Westminis-
ter critic replies.
aThe present trouble has not arisen
ont az free trade, nor can 1t be wholly
cured by protection. It Is up to Brit
ish arms to ASSERT themselves now by
throwing overheard all the wretched
traditions which are holding them
hack-to abandon the useless practice
of producing too many models, of con-
stantly changing them and of selling
thennJ naked and bare, as is done in in
Vulnerable cases, without tires, with
out body and without the score Of
things which they know from expert
ence the user must of necessity have.
The British motor car must be made
and sold as a complete thing, self
contained and equipped as nearly
,avery American cheap car is equip
Ied."
lar priced cars, the writer adds, dreams
Of consulting the buyer about the size
and shape Of the body, the kind of
lighting plant or self starter, the
question of detachable rims and the
like. The American turns out few
styles and saves In cost by duplica-
ton.

AND AMERICAN AN
MuNITlON.

One Of the diplomatic events OF last
month was the sending by the Aus
TRAN government of memorandum
Of the United States, protesting against
tho American trade in arms and NUM-
lions of war, which now benefits the
allies because of their control Of
transportation by sea. Austria,s DOC
trines are not consistent, however,
inasmuch as she has Joined Germany
in demanding of Rumania the con
tinued freedom Of passage for NUM-
tons intended to be used by Turkey

Rev. Lewis A. Parcels, prominent
Methodist minister of Philadelphia,
and father Of Lewis A. Parcels, Jr., OF
this city, son-in-law OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Olaf j.. Johnson, 1874 North Weller

death:
Less than twelve hours after his last
sermon, beautiful word picture of
heaven, had been delivered before a
camp meeting at Hebron, Nd, the Rev.
DR.. Lewis Adams Parsels, widely
known prohibitionist and reformer,
was found dead in bed at his home at
14O4 North Twelfth street yesterday,
by his wife. He was So years old.
The sermon on heaven was DR.. Par

Dr. Parsels had been pastor OF the
Twelfth Street Methodist Episcopal

LABoRERs MIGRATE.

Thousands of Spanish laborers have
emigrated to France since the begin
ming Of the war, owing I'd the scarcity
of labor there and the consequent high
wages offered. AS a result. there is
such scarcity of agricultural labor in
Spain that wages are three times those
paid year ago.
The emigration to France has been
encouraged by French agents. who are

terest and something on the princi-
pal. The government in Washington
liked 1t because it cleared up dis
agreeable spot in American diplomacy
and extended the influence of the
United States. The senate, though
with a wry face, finally ratified q
treaty under which this system has
been going on for the last nine years.
President Taft found similar state
OF affairs down in Central America.
Secretary Knox figured out that the
Republic of Honduras owed about
three million dollars though it is hard
to ind out where such sum came
from
Dollar diplomacy was still more in
evidence in Nicaragua. Knox nego-
tiated treaty in 1912 by which the
custom house was to be turned over
to a United States representative, just
as in Santo Domingo. That treaty
has never been ratified; but the
American collector of customs is still
right on the spot and the money is
collected. The mix-up here is greater
than in Santo Domingo because sew
eral American banking houses have
advanced money to the government OF
Nicaragua, on the vague security OF
their being ratified by the senate. In
1918 Bryan went still farther by nego-
tiating another treaty-which also Is
still unratifled-by which the United
States agrees to pay Nicaragua three
million dollars for the construction of
a canal which nobody expects ever to
construct. In that treaty, further. is
inserted merely copy Of the Plat
resolutions as applied to Cuba. This
means that, II the treaty is ratified,

tect 1t from foreign aggression, to root
out the civil wars, to govern It from
Washington and very likely, in the
end, to annex It.
That is the result toward which the
practical protectorate In Santo Domin-
60 is probably moving. II Santo Do
mingo is annexed, the sister republic
Of Haiti will follow. If Nicaragua
should be annexed. sooner or later the
other four Central American states
will come along, first as protectorates
and then as dependencies.
If that is the policy OF the govern
ment, and 1t Is thought to be good
policy, why is it not frankly stated to
the American people so that they may
express their opinion?
