it's first reading. At this same meet

A reply to the note of this govern
ment to Great Britain, protesting
against the detention and searching
Of our ships has not yet been receiv-
ed. A preliminary answer is expect
ed to be received here tomorrow.
This government has decided to
publish all the notes passing between
the two governments in this contro-
versy so that the people may be in
formed of the stand taken by each
side and form their w opinion of
the relative merits in the case.
The Treasury Department has sent
out a warning to all shiuuers against
attempting to conceal the nature OF
the goods which they n transport
ing. There is some talk of appoint
ing inspectors who will certify to
the character of all goods shipped
abroad.
There are a number of promin-
ent men who see great possibilities
for the year, upon which we are just
entering. Amongst them are Secre-
tary Redfeld and Fairfax Harrison,
President of the Southern Railway.
They both see an increase in bust
ness and look fol- business to 60 on
improving. They believe the first
effect of the war upon tbs business
Of this country has passed.

in the Linn county, Iowa, district
court for the sum of 5000, 900 DAM
ages for failure to show proper

alarming rate. This will perhaps be

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR LABOR

The Pullman Company ANNOUNCED
the other day that big increase in
wages would be given its employees
with the beginning of the new year.
From New York comes the state
ment that a great number of i'm
portant employers are going to raise
wages, the total affecting thus far
probably 100000 earners in that city
and immediate environs. From the
New York and New England mill dis
tricts come like announcements of
increases for operatives in wide
variety of industrial establishments
and public service concerns.
If there were any ono possible
menace to the nationwide prosperity
outlook it would reside in the danger
Of labor difficulties this coming year.
There have been intimations of un-
rest in various directions, with sug-
gestons that big strikes might take
place unless wage demands were
met. The good disposition of en-
ployers toward their workers is in
dicated by the general tendency to
divide with them the newly discov-
cred and altogether welcome profits.
There might be some excuse for en-
ployers wishing to retain for a little
space the profits that in some meas
ure would compensate for the losses
of period Of depression; but instead
there is commendable evidence Of
purpose to racet labor half way and
more. Surely the leaders of organ
lied labor may be appealed to for a
like generous recognition of con-
| ditions in the business world.
No man dares guess what con-
ditions may supervene in a few
months or years. The feeling is wide
spread that present prosperity is
based upon the abnormality of war
conditions, and that it may be fol-
lowed by depression founded on the
even more extreme abnormality Of q
peace under conditions never before
encountered. There is especial .rea-
son why the country-labor, capital.
agriculture, transportation, every ac"
tivity-should wish to garner and
preserve the fruits of this possibly
all too brief season of industrial
plenty. The year 1916 gives all
promise of dumping the horn OF
plenty with particular lavishness on
this country. 1t will depend on the
good sense, the far-sightedness, the
sound judgment of our own people
whether we shall enjoy to the full
the advantages thus brought within
our grasp.

TRADE OPPORTUNITIES

American business men are turn
ing their eyes toward our sister con-
tinent to the south as an alluring
field for enterprise and investment.
OF the countries of South America.
Brazil especially is the new Land of
Opportunity, or, rather, the land of
old opportunities made new. The
European war has shackled the trade
combinations and influences against
us, and for the first time the United
States gets real chance at the trade
of Brazil.
The United States always has been
Brazil's best customer. Now the op
portunity is offered Of making Brazil
one of the best customers of the
United States. In 1913 we bought
goods from Brazil amounting to
s100,OOO,OOO. while the combined
purchases of Germany and Great
Britain were a little more than
SSO,OO0,O0O.
In 1912 we took so per cent of
Brazil's rubber, az per cent Of her
coffee, and 30 per cent of all her ex-
ports. Our Brazilian coffee cost
s95,0OO,OO0, while Germany's pur-
chases were less than $34 100000 and
Great Britain's only a little more
than 100000.
AS sellers, however, we were sur
passed by both Germany and the
United Kingdom, the British outsell-
ing US by more than 80 per cent.
The European war has nullifed
some and handicapped all of the
European trade combinations which
had the better Of US in Latin America
mp to year and half ago. We
can get into the game now: but we
must also prepare for the time when
peace restored, Europe will be back
in it. too.

SCHOOL SOCIAL CENTERS

Nowhere better than in Washing
ton could school houses be used to
advantage as social centers in the
way pointed out by Miss Margaret
Wilson before the American Civic
Association yesterday afternoon.
Miss Wilson'S definition of the OBJ
iect of the social center movement
was this: "To make every school
building in the United States the
meeting and voting place of the citi-
zens of the school district, associated
in one nonpartisan, nonexclusive or
ganization."
While the Washington schools cam
not be voting places, they can be
meeting places. In Washington the
organizations to meet in them 3l-
ready are in existence, the citizens
associations. Among the things that
social centers and not, in Miss Will
sons opinion, arc nelghborhood
dances, sewing classes, and such ac-
tivities. nor are they night schools.
These represent useful activities, but
activities of another sort.
For many years efforts were made
to get permission Of Congress to
have the Washington schools used as
social centers. Now that the legis-
lation has been obtained many of the
hackers of the effort seem to have
lost interest in carrying it out.

and rich in personalities as Boston
is not too large to need the leader
ship of men like Henry Lee Hig-
ginson in the field Of music and art;
and even the gargantuan New York,
to many minds, was dominated by the
genius and brain of the late J. Pier
pont Morgan.
Bodies like the American Civic
Association might do well to have a
section on the conservation of great
men. When city gets hold of a
really great man, be he merchant
prince, philanthropist, scientist, or
captain of industry, it should not be
lacking in appreciation Of its good
fortune,

ONCE MORE A HALL OF RECORDS

Most civilized nations exercise eX-
treme care in the preservation of
historical records and documents.
Even many primitive peoples afford
ed chances for studying their habits
and customs by their preservation of
tribal and national records. 1t is a
curious anomaly that the United
States has cared too little for its in
valuable Government records to con-
struct building where they might
be preserved.
The question of a hall of records
in the National Capital has been
discussed before. 1t is to be hoped
the meeting of a group of civic and
historical organizations yesterday to
urge such building will give an i'm
petus to the movement Before that
meeting were pointed out some of

have been used. In The American
Magazines January number. an 'aG'
reads: 5000 People pass here daily"
II would appear that the mistake is
common.
TO say that 5000 people pass place
means that a number OF units, TO the
extent OF 5000. pass that point. and "
these units are to be called people, thom
each one of the 2S5 600 units is "a people.
As this Is obviously wrong. and as ca ch
