GEORGE WASHINGTON
WINS FOR AUSTRIA
GeneaIogists Making Study Of
Work Of Distant Relative of
Americas First President.

George Washington has been winning
medals for distinguished service in the
Austrian army.
This fact. mentioned in dispatches,
set German to studying the
genealogy Of the Father Of His Coun-
try. Washington descendants In this
country are about as numerous as those
who trace their ancestry back to the
Mayfiower passengers. Many OF them
live In Washington and In Alexandria.
But 1t was not generally known that
a branch of the washington family
long has been prominent In Austrian
AFFAIRS.
A few genealogical experts, however.

WAR ECONOMIES

English women have organized a
society in which they bind them
selves to curtail the use of imports,
to wear gowns till they are worn out
instead Of discarding them because
Of change Of style, to employ no men
as servants save those who are in
capacitated for war, and to use
motors only in cases of necessity.
But the Germans, by systematic
and enforced frugality, by substitu-
ton and invention, have raised the
art Of economy to the nth power.
The close attention of their chem
lists has been given to providing
something to serve in the place Of
the cotton which war left on our
piers and in our warehouses. Nettles
and willow trees provide the best
material. The nettle fiber, exten-
sively used before our Southern
fields put their wealth at the dis
posal of European countries, is now
treated by improved methods and
gives large returns.
Detailed reports of the best way
to use the fiber Of willow bark have
been published and several patents
have been taken out for making it
available in textiles. This fiber is
finer and stronger than that of hemp
and is nearly equal to that Of cotton
in strength. Its absorbing power is
so great that it is in constant de-
mand for hospitals.
Our cottonseed oil and the olive
oil Of Italy have been imported into
Germany for years in enormous
quantities. Their place is being rap
idly taken by oil extracted from SUM-
flower seeds. Since sunfowers can
be abundantly cultivated in almost
any soil, and since the flavor Of the
oil is proving not unpalatable, a
taste may be formed that will per-
manently Danish cottonseed oil from
some kitchens and tables. in Ger
many at least. A satisfactory treat
ment is also being used for trans
forming fish oils into edible fats.
Before the war camphor gathered
from the camphor tree Of Japan was
an important import into Germany
and was used both in medicine and
in the manufacture of smokeless
powder; but the synthetic camphor
of the laboratory is of greater pur-
ity, stronger as a disinfectant and,
at present prices, cheaper than the
vegetable product.
The close alliance between gov
ernment and the theoretic knowl-
edge Of the school has made econo-
mics possible in Germany that dwarf
those of other countries. In the
civil war our grandmothers patched
and darned the cotton garments Of
the family till little of the original
was to be seen, and dipped tea and
sugar with scanty measure. But if
we should ever engage in a world
war we should have to organize our
economies after the German model
as carefully as we should organize
our soldiers and munitions.

BARON ISHlPS TASK

Baron Kikuijuro Ishii, Japanese
ambassador to France, has accepted
Premier Okuma's tender of the for
eign portfolio in Nippon's govern
ment, and will be the cynosure of
the worlds eyes for many months
to come. His post will not be diff
iicult to maintain satisfactorily to
his chief, who is the idol of the
most progressive elements of Japan,
and it is not expected that insur-
mountable difficulties will be placed
in his way by the Elder Statesmen.
Japan is at the threshold, of
what, no man can say. With aggres-
sive designs, with dreams of empire
building, of mastery of the Orient,
of dominance in the Pacific ocean,
he views the conflict across the At
'antic with interest equal to that of
the United States, and with even
more immediate concern. She is pre-
pairing, if not already prepared, for

waiting is not unaccompanied by the
partial fulfillment of an ambitious
program of joint conquest and COM
mercial expansion.
lshii's task is to assist in the con-
solidation of the interests already
acquired, to complete the industrial
and, if possible, political subjuga-
ton Of China, and to retain the
friendship Of the United States, at
the same time not permitting that
delicate dispute over the California
land law to fade completely away
but to nourish it as an instrument
to be evoked in the future, if need
be.

THE SALOONS NEW SIDR LINE

Soon, in Indianapolis, the "boys"
will be able to wander up to one
bar in that city, nonchalantly prop a
foot on the rail and a knee against
the bar, and call for nut sunde."
The canny saloon keeper explains
that many men come as far as the
front door when some one in the
group will assert his preference for
a drug store, and of go the poten-
tial customers. The temperance folk
believe that sweets and alcohol have
a mutual antagonism, and if a man
can be induced to have that first nut
sunde, they promise, he will be i'm
mune from any further alcoholic ap-
petite for the day.
There used to be a juvenile court
judge in Washington who recon-
mended that those who came to him
for imbibing too freely should carry
Jumps Of sugar in their pockets and
eat one every time they wished a
drink until one ruddy nosed pris-
oner asked how he was to carry all
that sugar around. That stumped
the Judge.
McCutcheon once drew a cartoon
in which he graphically presented
what might happen if the unwritten
laws Of treating" were applied to
eating chicken, and the last cartoon
Of the series showed the party in
dread dyspeptic agonies while the
table was piled high with the
rounds" Of chickens. To the inno-
cent bystander the nut sunde prob
lem looks as dangerous as the
chicken marathon. The saloon may
prosper for a time, but what is to
become Of the digestions Of its
patrons?
The experiment will be watched
by temperance folk and others alike.
Even the drug stores should not suf.
fer much. Instead of aromatic
spirits Of ammonia the "morninR
after" feeling will call for pepsin.
Or will the saloon try to furnish
that, too?

The importation Of gold from japan
IL not at all unusual though this coun-
try normally has a considerable trado
balance against 1t In its transactions
with both Japan and China. But gold
imports from China are unusual. and
curious explanation has been suggested
for the recent movement in this direc-
ton from that country.

Even from Australia 4 considerable
amount OF gold has come to this coun-
try. and more II expected. Shipments
from this quarter have thus far amount
ed to about 100000. Finally. It 10
known arrangements are making for
the transfer OF gold In future direct
from Cape Town to the United States.
This will be a new gold current. for
South Africa's gold has heretofore gone
direct to London and from there been
distributed to tho world. Tho arrange
ment for direct imports to this country
are presumed to bo inspired by desire
to avoid tho necessity OF carrying the
precious cargoes through the war zone.
