CARDINAL GIBBONS GOES
SOUTH TO VISIT BROTHER

BALTIMORE, March 6.-Cardinal
Gibbons left for the south today to
visit his brother in New Orleans.
The cardinal will probably not return
until Holy Week, March %, but will
visit prominent churchmen in differ.
ent southern cities. The cardinal has
completely recovered from his re-
cent Illness. The visit is for the pur-
pose of regaining his health prepare
tory for the arduous Holy Week and
the few weeks before Easter and un-
I'll summer when he is always busy
attending commencements and other
functions and ordaining young men
to priesthood.

tivcs. Strawberries are in great de-
mand for use at soda fountains.
Not long ago the department
looked into the possible ways of
using the surplus apple crop in
much the same way. Apples form
a less perishable product than
Strawberries and they may be util-
lied to an even greater extent. Yet
the yearly waste in apples is enor-
nous.
Having given years to the study
of improvement of soil and the rails
ing of crops the department can
well afford to dwell to some extent
on that side of farm life which
makes many farms so Improbable
the side of organization and busi-
ness management. Farmers are apt
to be poor business men. But the
successful farmer has awakened to
the fact that he needs to know some
thing of the science of business
management as well as the science
Of agriculture.

THE WASTES OF THE FARM

In factories, in packing houses, in
canneries, and in similar enterprises
Americans have reduced waste to
near minimum. The effort for
greater efficiency goes relentlessly
on. But the American farm has
another story to tell. There, even
with new devices and all sorts of
labor saving equipment, little atten-
ton is paid to losses that would
stamp the factory manager as hope
lessly incompetent.
Take single product, strawber-
ries. The Department of Agricul-
ture, in recent bulletin, states that
from 20 to 25 per cent of the crop
in certain regions of the South is
lost yearly because when the sea-
son is we'll on the prices drop so low
that farmers do not consider pick
ing them worth the trouble.
In such a situation the depart
ment can do much good. 1t is
working along that line. Three of
its recent bulletins call the farmers
attention to the growing demand fol

WAR FOOTING FOR

General Scheme to Build Up
Auxiliary Arms.

without making much fuss over n.
the War Department has set out to
do what 1t can to get the national
guard of the dioerent States and
of the District Of Columbia on a war
footing.
This Is not saying that IL is getting
ready for war or that war Is be-
Iieved near at hand. Nevertheless.
the war Department is trying TO
help the situation with respect to the
unpreparedness OF the United States
by reorganizing the guard so there
will be such a proportion between
the infantry and the auxiliary arms
of the service as would be needful
in case of war.
The department is trying to have
the states convert some of their in
fantry into artillery, cavalry. en-
gineers, and ambulance corps forces,
and 1t is meeting with success

Reorganization Of the National Guard

accidents In the Streets"

To the Editor of THE TINES:
In the issue of May "a. 1915. an cdi-
torial appeared in your paper under the
title Accidents in the Streets" In
writing of pedestrians obstinacy in de-
Tying danger, you did not mention the
manner in which children are allowed
to play in the streets. when numerous
automobiles are rushing to and fro. On
the street on which live believe there
are more children than any other street
in the city. and 1t seems difficult to
keep these children out of the jaws OF
death. Frequently children play ball
in the middle Of the street. | have seen
them throwing balls over the automo-
biles. This Is risky as pedestrians
walking slow in front OF the cars. You
may say It is none of my business. But
! say 1t Is. If | am supposed to warn
sinners to get out OF the SHINING busi-
ness. / am equally obligated to sound
the trumpet to keep them out OF earthly
danger.
Now. as you have mentioned one part
OF accidents on the streets. will you
warn parents to keep these children out
of the street? And. also. for their own
good If they persist, advocate a law to
fine them. or suggest some means to
prevent 1t.

THE BARNES SOCIAL VIEW

William Barnes has been so much
in, the limelight at Syracuse lately
That not everybody recalls that he
is member of the constitutional
convention sitting in Albany. But
he is, and he has just introduced be-
fore that body a set of proposals
to. limit the power Of the legisla-
ture in making laws. In brief, he
would write into the new constitu-
tion prohibition against about all
the social legislation that is today
commanding so much thought, in
terest, and support.
Thus he would not allow "expen-
ditures of public moneys without
the rendering of a specific public
service therefor" That means that
pensions of all kinds would prob
ably be cut off. Charities and refor-
nlatories might very easily be
brought within it's meaning. En-
ployes' compensation payments from
any public funds would probably be
Topped off.
Again, Mr.. Barnes would prohibit
any law Establishing a minimum
wage"
He would prohibit laws "regulat-
ing the rules of procedure, the cleo
ton of party committeeman, and the
making of nominations for public
office by political parties or other
groups of voters except to provide
publicity of receipts and expendi-
lures" and to prevent corruption.
This is the tory view of the rela-
ton that government should occupy
toward the people and toward the
parties. 1t would place political
parties well-nigh without all posi-
bility of interference by the laws,
presumably even to the extent of
making primary election legislation
impossible further than to require
publicity.
Thus is set down a concrete state
ment of the social and political ideals
of the Barnes school, They are
deals of generation that is gone
They are abhorrent to the enlight,
ened views of the present day, and
# seconded and pressed by any i'm.
portant political party in any State
in the Union would wreck that
party. 1t is inconceivable that lead,
ers in public thought and actor
could avow them; and the answer is
that Mr.. Barnes, though he may not
yet know it, has been deposed ds &
leader whom any party dare follow.

garian crown. The disappearance of
the house of Babenberg, in 1916, had
brought Styria and Austria under
the dominion of Premysl otokar
The advent Of Rudolf caused both
Hungary and Bohemia to take subor.
dinate places, and gave the ascend
ancy to the Hapsburgs.
The Premyslide dynasty in Bo-
hemia, which had been founded, ac-
cording to tradition, by a laborer
named Premysl, came to an end in
1906, and since that time the Bo-
hemians, or Czechs, have not had a
really national king. The German
Emperor treated the country as a
fief of the empire. The Arpad dy-
nasty in Hungary had come to an
end in 1901, having been established
by the Magyar chief who led the
hordes from the region between the
Black Sea and the Ural to Hungary.
Thereafter Bohemia and Hungary
lived precarious existences until
Macmillan, in the fifteenth century,
by entering into marriage alliances
with the ruling houses of both coun-
tries, prepared the way for the Aus
trian state and dual monarchy as
they exist today.
Besides the national aspirations
of Italy, Serbia, and Roumania, each
of which has legitimate claims upon
Austro- Hungarian territory; the ma
tional aspirations of the Poles of
Galicia; the ambition of Russia, all
purposing to reduce the Hapsburg
power, it is not impossible that
England and France, at the conclu-
sion of the war, will consider the
union of the twelve or more nation
alities in the dual monarchy not only
unnatural, but a menace to Europe S
peace, and insist upon the re-estab-
lishment of the independence of Bo-
hemia and Hungary, under interna-
tional guarantee.

PROSPERITY IN THE WEST

The Kansas City Star prints the
following telegram from the Com
mercial Club train of that city,
which is making a tour Of the
Southwest:
With the trade trip Of the CONNER
cial Club half over, the opinion Is uni
versally expressed that this will be a
record year in all lines. Conditions all
along the route back up the optimistic
prophecy that automobile sales will be
simply enormous and will tax the pro-
duction of all the factories to supply
the demand.
The fact that the farmer is cut
ing a wide swath in the West is at
tributable to the fact that he made
record wheat crop last year and
sold out at top prices. Reports thus
far-and the wheat harvest is be-
ginning--are to the effect that big
crop, if not a record breaker, is
again in prospect. And when the
farmer feels particularly fit he
shows it by buying a motor car.
Many farmers of the Southwest
are raising wheat this year instead
Of cotton, speculating on the pros
pect that the war would not be over
by the time the crop is harvested.
They have won, and though wheat
is never safe until it is in the gran
ary, it is reasonably safe for them
to count on a crop that will swell
bank accounts to an astonishing
total.

THE sinister influence OF the liquor
trade threw its shadow over the house
again yesterday. In proposing the pro-
hibition Of immature whiskies OF less
than two years of age. and by placing
small surtaX on the sale of that spirit
for the third year, Mr.. Lloyd George
had some right to expect that the house
would support him. He had been driven
out of position after position. and tho
Joint opposition of the Irish party and
the Cnionist party had made 1t impos-
sible to carry the proposal for doubling
the tax on spirits.
After all the talk OF the opposition
about making sacrifices to carry on the
war, 1t was surely to be expected that
tie leaders of the opposition would
agree to the governments final and
very moderate proposal. so essential to
the sobriety OF the worker. 1t was,
therefore. disappointing. to say the least

Drama Leagues President Says
Local Center Has Not Lost Forty
Members

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
My attention has been called to state
ments. repeatedly published during the
last month, to the effect that forty
members OF the Washington Center Of
the Drama League of America have re-
signed and formed separate organiza-
tion under the leadership of Mrs. Chris
tan ID. Hemmick. In justice to the
Drama League, IL seems only fair TO
correct the false impression created by
these assertions
The list of members Of the new organ
lzation contains the names OF only two
persons, besides Mrs. Hemmick, VINO
nave ever been members of the Drama
League. and the only resignation re-
ceiVed so far Is that OF Mrs. Hemmick
The statement that forty members OF
me Drama League have resigned Is,
therefore, not correct, but / feel sure
the mistake Is to be attributed to In
ahVertence and not to malice.
1t seems proper to say in this con-
| nection that the Drama League is a
national institution, having affiliated
branches which combine to carry out
It's aims and purposes of fostering the
production of wholesome drama by pro-
vlding clientele for plays of merit.
The standards by which plays are
measured are clearly defined by the
parent organization. The purpose for
which the new organization has been
formed, so Var as can be judged from
the announcements, Is entirely Foreign
to the objects of the Drama League.
The Washington Center of the Drama
League is three years old. and Is today
in q hourishing condition, having ap-
proXimately four hundred members all
of whom are actively interested in its
work.

DOLLAR DIPLOMACY TO DATE

1t requires no very long political
memory to recall the zeal with
which gentlemen now eminent in the
administration Of this Government
were, just a little time agone, de-
claiming against the wickedness of
dollar diplomacy" None was more
ardent in his realization of its evils
than Mr.. Bryan.
At that time Mr.. Bryan was in
opposition, and dollar diplomacy"
was fine target. 1t wasn't neces-
sary particularly to \think about it,
to familiarize oneself with the mer-
its and demerits of particular cases.
The very name that a clever if not
very ingenious phrasemaker had at
tached to the idea was enough to
damn it with people who didn't
think any more than did the people
who talked most about it. There
should be no more dollar diplo-
macy" under an uplifted Democratic
regime,
With these things recalled to
mind, it is interesting to read some
observations credited to Mr.. Bryan
spokesman of the Administration
at a dinner to the Uruguayan dele
gates to the Pan-American financial
conference:
| believe that the United States Gov
ernment could underwritc the govern

lies. I am not a financier. but | have

is in power or in opposition. Can
