 What was the date of final suppress sion of the indian mutiny2
 :. revolt began in 1857. That year was the Hindu 1914, centenary of Plassey. Astrologers had predicted that the power of the Hast India company would terminate that year. A new kind of greased cartridge. containing the fat of pigs and of cows was intro duced into the army, and being con- sidered sacrilege to Hfndus and a deflement to Mussulmans, was made the occasion of revolt. First blood was spilled at Barrackpur in March. Then followed Cawnpur with it's ter rible massacre, the famous siege of Lucknow and it's relief by Hayelock, the British siege of Delhi and numer ous affairs and battles. One method of suppression was to blow captive sepoys from the mouths of cannon. One of the principal leaders of the se- poys was the renowned Mana Sahib. The last great battle was fought at GWalior in June, 1858.

The law provided for the enrolment of all able bodied citizens between the ages of twenty and forty five years, and the total enrolment was 3,113,3O There were more than fifty causes or grounds of exemption l from the draft, mostly physical, and in addition to this any person who was drafted became exempt by furnish ing an acceptable substitute or by pay 1 ing $500. About 40 per cent of the men examined were enrolled; about one-half of those enrolled paid the com mutation of $500; about two-thirds of 1 the remainder furnished substitutes and the other third went to the field in l person The total amount of commit tation money received from those who l paid out was $1O. .518, 900.

There are conditions that make

THE sEAmEM's ACT

The opponents of The Seamen S
Act, blood-brothers in buncombe
with the advocates of a high pro-
tective tariff, are resorting to the
same class of pillle as do the lat
ter i'm attempting TO coerce Con-
gress into repeal of the Seaman S
Act before its provisions become
a legal verify.
For instance, the Pacific Mail
and the Robert Dollar lines, both
OF which are opposed TO the Sea-
mems Act, are stating that the
new law is driving them of the
sea and have loudly announced
their retirement from the Paci-
fic Coast trade.
Any one who has read over the
Acts provisions can see for him
self that there was nothing in it
that was prejudicial to any COM
pany that did not overstep the
bounds of decency. II is only
Ia belated attempt to make the
big business owners of shipping
companies play fair and treat
their laborers with the same
courtesy and fairness that labor
ers in other callings are treated.
Therefore, when the bold an
nouncement was made that the
Pacific Coast trade would be
abandoned simply ON account of
the Seamen's Acts alleged oner-
Gus provisions il came rather as
o shock, while at the same time
causing misgivings i'm the minds
of some who thought perhaps the
law had been too drastic in its
provisions.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
GETTING BRIGHTER

Revival in trade and industry
is an actuality, rather than an an
ticipated development at the pres
ent time. The public is buying
more merchandise, following a
long period of conservatism in
this respect. Retail merchants
are commencing to gradually in
crease their stocks in order to
meet the changed conditions. This
brings enlarged acquisitions on
the jobber, not only to meet cur
rent demands, but to provide for
the changed attitude of retailers.
while manufacturers are booking
orders upon a more cOmprehen-
sive basis. There is less idle
machinery in the country today
than for several months. Son
sequently, there are fewer idle
people, and increasing wage dis
hursements are a feature that
adds to the amount being expend-
ed for household and personal
requirements.
While part of this improvement
is to be attributed to the nalur-
al developments incident TO The
advent of the fall trading season.
and the approach of the holidays
there is much more than the us
ual transition to afford encour-
agement to the belief that bust
ness and industry has struck the
upgrade in this country. The
abundance of our staple produc-
tions is a factor that stands over
against the prospect of want. The
United States has added to its ma
terial wealth in a larger measure
than in any period in its history.

mands for.supplying the deiicien-

enterprises.
But there is a very natural fear
that, after the war is over, there
will be such an attempt on the
part of European powers-not-
ably Germany recover lost
ground as will seriously menace
the new industries of this coun-
try. This is especially true of
dyestuffs. There is a growing
feeling that what will be needed
is, not so much more protection
against normal foreign compeli-
tion-and this seems to be the
view of those federal authorities
that have been INVESTIGATING the
question-as rather protection
against just such cut-throat
competition as we forbid in our
own country. AS against ordin-
airy competition there is already
a protective duty of 80 per cent.
Against competition as war
measure designed to recover the
lost trade at the expense of our
own producers, there is little de-
Tense.
The government experts argue
that we should be as fair to in
dustries subjected to price cutting
from abroad as we are to those
that suffer from the same evil at
home. in other words, what is
sought in both cases is, not to de-
stroy competition, but to insure
fair competition. This is one of
the most important subjects that
congress will have to deal with.
lt is to be hoped that it will con-
ider it from the point of view of
patriotism rather than partisan
ship, and that there will be no
effort on either side to make par

a business and not a political one.

MILITARY PREPAREDNESS:
WHAT DOES IT MEAN7

AS the opponents Of a democ-
racy which in the end will regen-
crate the political system of the
world, our military policy of act
ing upon the defensive until the
great armies which exist i'm en-
bryo in our free citizenship can
be enrolled, organized, and put
into the field, is hardly abreast Of
existing conditions or conform
able to the self-respect and dig
nifty of a great nation, which
should possess the ability to pun
ish transgressions as we'll as TO
protect its institutions.
The leading nations Of the
world require a compulsory mill
ilary training fcr their citizens,
generally three years of it. The
United States should always have
within its borders a sufficient
number of trained men fitted
promptly to take their place i'm
the ranks. Ways and means to
accomplish this have been point
ed out by various secretaries of
war and chiefs of staff, and need
no repetition here. But the old
idea that a uniform makes a sol
der must be abandoned. Sue
cess in future wars will depend
upon skill in the use of weapons
and in firm discipline, combined
with implicit obedience and trust
IT. commanders. These can not
become second nature, as they
must to become effective, through
the training of volunteer camps
in the days or weeks preceding a
conflict. The Union has pro-
crossed to that point when it can
best be served, SO far as the OBJ
jects of war are concerned, by a
regular army-such a force as
would serve, at least, for the first
line of attack. The old bugbear
of standing army being men
ace to liberty should have been
effaced with the settlement of the
question of state sovereignty. To
should never be forgotten that a
soldier is a citizen in the fullest
acceptance of the word; his life
and training keep alive his pat
riOtism; in his independence of
party or sectarian influence his
mind, perhaps, grasps more fully
the meaning of democracy: his
influence is nonpartisan in all
controversies, and his life stands
between his country's flag and
dishonor. What else can there
be but insurance to property, life
and happiness to the body polit-
l. in the maintenance of we'll
disciplined army of liberty-loving
and patriotic citizens Major
