come before the American people
since the civil war - to the uncon.
trolled determination of the president
and his cabinet. So say, that In put
ting the issue between him and the
president squarely before the Ameri.
can people, Mr.. Bryan has rendered
the greatest service of his whole pub

when once stated. It is simply this
do we want strenuous, a vigorous,
an aggressive foreign policy, or one
that seeks the accommodation OF dil'
ferences by friendly adjustment and
cancellation. It Is not question Of
the sacrifice of national honor = ex'
cept in the duellist's conception Of
the term; nor of the surrender OF the
rights of our citizens, or of neutral
rights generally, or Of the rights o.
humanity. 1t Is the question merely
of the method by which those rights
! shall be secured.
For there is another way. none the
worse for the fact that Germany has
more than once called our attention
| to it. We are. in a real sense, the
trustees of neutral rights and OF the
sacred rights of humanity the world
over. Can we not, for the moment ano
in the interests Of that trust, forge'
our particular grievance, or, rather
merge It in the larger grievance OF
public right wounded unto DEATH anu
take up the whole question OF neutral
ond human rights as affected by the
war?
Suppose then, that the president
while restating our position ana OK
pressing our confident expectation
that Germany would desist from mel
illegal practices, had further invited
her to a conference OF the powers, bel
lligerent and neutral, to see II some
general agreement could not Of

maritime warfare should hereafter Dc

The publication Of the president
third note to Germany, coming on the
heels of Mr.. Bryan's dramatic sur.
render of his portfolio, creates tense
and puzzling situation. The first
emotion, on reading the note, is one
of surprise at Mr.. Bryan's course. The
paper Is courteous, even friendly, In
expression, and studiously moderate in
tone. The worst that can be said OF
1t is that 1t leaves the situation un.
changed; the best, that 1t leaves the
door open for further diplomatic nego
tiation.
Perhaps 1t is this very fact that
there is no difference between the
worst and the best that can be said
Of it, that 1t makes no progress
toward either peaceful or warlike
settlement Of the controversy with
Germany = that makes it such an un'
satisfactory performance.
The note will be disappointing to
those who looked to the president
after many days Of incubation, to pro-
duce some solution, or at least some
suggestion, of constructive character
They will argue that we cannot be
kept hanging indefinitely between
peace and war; that the mere reitera.
ton of our position is policy fraught
with danger, inasmuch as it leaves the
grave issue Of peace or war for the
people of the United States to the de,
termination of the German general
staff; that it risks the rights Of the
neutral world and the sacred interests
Of humanity on the chance of Germany
receding from the position she has
taken in the face of our implied threat
to compel her to do so.

of the mystery of Mr.. Bryan's resigna.
ton. He sees, or thinks he sees, that
the presidents persistence in his
present policy, so far from leading to
a peaceful solution Of the difficulty
with Germany, is likely to lead us into
war with that country, and he has at
length become convinced that, unless
constrained by public opinion, the
president will adhere to that policy
So he resigns from the cabinet in
order to make his appeal to public
opinion.
Now, whatever one may think Of
Mr.. Bryan, this is an important public
service. For this is, after all, a gov
eminent of the people, and it Us a
monstrous perversion of the principles
of popular government to leave the
most vital issues of a nations life -
more vital than the tariff or equal

Government is Looking About for
Willows for Basket Manu- dctu1ers
BY Laurence Todd
The courer's Special Washington Correspondent

Washington, D. c., June 15.-f any,
one in Iowa has willow for sale, let
him write to the forest service, Unit
ed States department of agriculture,
about it. The makers of willow fur
niture and baskets in this country
have been cut off from their European
supply of willow rods because Of the
war. They want to secure from the
United States what they have been
getting from England, Belgium, Hol-
land. France and Germany. As the
department has distributed free, for
some years, willow cuttings of several
imported varieties, with the purpose
Of getting the industry started here,
it is now looking about to discover
If it's work has had any effect.
Japanese osiers have been the first
substitute for European willow. These
have cost slightly more than the
product from Germany, and as there
is shortage in Japan also the Ameri-
can willow has considerably advanced
in price. Meanwhile, finished willow
baskets have come into this country
from Japan. where before the war
the only importation was the split
bamboo basketware.
The extent of distribution Of willow
cuttings by the department is report,
ed at nearly 100000 in all. These
have been sent to state experiment
stations, forest schools and individual
growers. Overflow lands not suitable
for other crops will almost always
produce good willow, which adds an
other profit to the farm. The govern
ment maintains a small commercial
grove or "holt'' of this basketwood at
Arlington, Va, as demonstration OF
the practical side Of the project, and
in order to grow cuttings for free dis
tribution throughout the country.
Mr.. Bryan's appeal to the German
Americans has aroused quite as much
of surprised comment in official
circles as did his resignation from the
cabinet. Oficial Washington has not
been able to understand the former

THE COST oE WASTE.

A prominent agriculturist says that
many American farmers have not got
down to farming as business, and
that the richness of their soil is the
only thing that saves them from fail
ure.
Speaking of the waste of fodder, he
says:
There are weeds enough in many
corn fields to fatten a carload of
sheep, allowing them to eat the down
stalks, the lower blades and the low
hanging ears that the farmer would
hardly miss. 4
I'VE are great MASTERS of corn fod-
der. All through Ohio and Indiana,
and even in New England, one sees
farmers busy taking down their corn
shocks, all weather beaten on the out
side, husking them out by hand,
throwing the corn into piles on the
ground, to be picked up again, and
then tying up the fodder, leaving
much Of the valuable fodder outside
: 10 be weathered before it is fed to the
stock.
Gwen greater waste Is that in the
nois. eastern Kansas and Nebraska,
forty million acres of corn last year,
of which probably not more than one
fourth was harvested for the silo or
the shock or for shredding. The rest
goes to waste, and 1t amounts to over
one-th1rd OF the feeding value of the
whole crop"
But the city dweller, be he business
man or manufacturer, cannot afford
to point the finger Of scorn at the far
mer as waster, because waste is
rampant in the cities likewise.
Lewis E. Theis, who has investigat-
ed the subject thoroughly, is author
ity for the statement that unneces-
sary coal smoke costs American in
dustries and American cities a very
great many millions of dollars yearly.
Black smoke consists largely Of un.
consumed coal particles thrown into
the atmosphere by improper stocking.
Smoke also contains acids Of value
which not only arc usually wasted,
but they are also destructive of every
thing they touch.
The pollution of our atmosphere
with smoke places heavy burden
upon us. It greatly increases the
death rate. 1t lowers our efficiency.
Engineers have estimated that the
cost to the city of Cleveland because
of its smoking factories is 100000
q year. The loss to Chicago is esti-
mated at 17,600,oOO year. The peo-
pie of Pittsburgh suffer an annual
loss OF $1O,00O.0oO through smoke,
The annual bill on account of smoking
factory chimneys is reckoned at $780,.
100000.
One pittsburgh manufacturing COM
pany alone has effected saving Of
$4,000 a year through the abolition
of smoke in its chimneys by means of
double steam pressure and mechani-
cal stokers.
Installation of smoke consuming ma
chinery and proper stocking, engineers
claim, will prevent much of the loss
now suffered from this source.
We are Mortified by the stupendous
waste being wrought by the destruc.
tive forces Of war on the other side
of the globe Let us not overlook the
fact that, individually and collective
ly, we Americans are responsible for
an aggregate of waste which is almost
If not quite as stupendous, and the fact
that history's most devastating war is
J. now in progress should impel us to
wage unremitting war on waste OF
. all kinds in our own country.
