NEW YORK. April 15.--Aithough
the volume OF business was slightly
under that OF last Friday, today's
stock market surpassed all records
for considerably over a year in the
strength and scope of its upward
sweep. Over 200 separate and dis
tinct issues were traded in, among
these being a number OF stocks whose
long period OF inactivity had all but
caused them to be forgotten.
One of the reassuring features OF
the session was the comparative qui
escence OF Bethlehem Steel. which re
maind in retirement after its arly
advanc and closed with a one point
loss. The entire list. with few un
important exceptions, rose under the
irresistible influence OF an avalanche
OF new buying orders. From time "a
time this was partly neutralized by a
renewal OF selling for profits on an
enormous scale. In the final hour re
cessions of a point or two resulted
but net gains OF TO points were re.
corded in various stocks. while among
inconspicuous specialties even great
er advances were made.
Union Pacific. United States Steel
and other speculative favorites re-
peated their high price OF day or
two ago. and many other stocks OF
high and low degree rose to levels
unequalled in several years.
Engagement OF $1,000, 900 gold from
Canada and intimAtion OF additional
imports from the Orient were among
the more interesting Developments
bearing upon the general financial
situation.
Total sales. 100000 shares.

BLACK SEA U.BOATS

The sinking by Russian ships in
the Black Sea of a German subma-
rine calls attention once more to the
wonderful cruising range of the un-
derwater warship. The vessel must
have eluded the British blockade in
the English Channel, made it's way
through the Strait of Gibraltar under
the guns Of the forts and the scout
cruisers and then repeated the ex-
plot at the mouth of the Darda-
nelles, where the Franco British war
ships and batteries are maintaining
a vigilant watch.
The U-boat must have steamed
5000 miles. apparently without re-
plenishing supplies or touching at a
base, a feat previously accomplished
by another German submarine, the
u-15, proving the practicability of
the submersible for long-distance
operations.
The repetition of the feat is we'll
worth the study of American navy
builders at time when whole
series Of our own submarines-the
F-boats-have had to be withdrawn
from service because of the ineffi-
cient and even tragic showing thew
made in the harbor of Honolulu

A THRUST THROUGH BULGARIA.

From Bulgaria, from Vienna, from
Berlin and other inspired sources the
world is getting various assurances
Of what the Teutopic forces are NOT
doing to smash their way across the
twenty-mile strip of Serbia which
would put them into Bulgaria for a
thrust at the Dardanelles.
From, nowhere is the world getting
information of what the allies are
doing or trying to do to meet such a
situation as burst like thunderclap
> year ago last August, when, with
out warrant and without notice, vast
masses Of German troops, all pano-
piled for war, dropped into Luxem-
bourg as if out Of q clear sky.
But If the allies are not prepared
to bar the Short Serbian cut into
Bulgaria they may expect at any mo-
ment to see Teuton armies storming
through it's territory on their way to
their friends the Turks at the Bos-
porus, with Bulgaria swallowed up,
as she will have deserved to be, in
what is no longer the German but
has become the Prussian Empire,
and will so continue until war has
devoured the Berlin militarists as
they would have it devour the rest
Of Europe.

ARMINO FOR NEUTRALITY

Bulgaria is giving a lesson to the
United States in the Importance of
preparedness as guarantee Of
peace. 1t is reasonably certain that
nobody will attack Bulgaria unless
Bulgaria takes the initiative and pre-
cipitates war by her own act; for
Bulgaria has an army possibly as
strong as 100000, largely veterans,
and reported better equipped than
ever before. Bulgaria will have
peace if she wants it, war if she
chooses; but the important thing is
chat she is in position to decide for
herself.
That is precisely the difference be-
f~een Bulgaria today and Belgium a
ear ago. Belgium could not decide
For herself because she was not in
position to make her decision effec-
tive. The little army of King Albert
surprised the world, the Germans,
and itself by the magnificent resist
ance it made against overwhelming
oower; but it is now known that the
Germans were not checked even so
long or seriously by the Belgians as
was at the time supposed.
America confronts the necessity to
decide whether it will be a Belgium

REALLY FREE TEXT BOOKS

Probably no class in the com.
munity would be more anxious for
free text books for the Washington
high schools than school officials
But one of these officials calls to at
tention phase of the matter that is
worthy of consideration.
High school books, now purchased
and kept by the pupils, form the
nucleus Of a library in many a home,
Especially is such a working library
needed in the homes of the poor, for
whom a special plea is made in be-
half of free text books.
That consideration is hardly
enough to offset the benefits of free
text books for all pupils; but it
suggests a method by which the
benefits of free text books might
be extended. if pupils who are given
set Of books were allowed to retain
hem. This already is done in some
'ities. After a years use many of
the books have to be DESTROYED.
There always is the danger of con-
tagion in a book that is passed from
pupil to pupil. Estimates show that
he new arrangement would be little
more expensive than the present one.
IT would eliminate the only objec-
on now in the minds of school Of
.cials regarding the extension of the
rec text book privilege.
The Washington times., 1915-09-23
LOWER THEArER PRICES

New York theatrical managers are
beginning to see the light about this
question Of prices. With two of the
important producing firms lowering
prices to $3.50 for the orchestra, the
present season may see widespread
change from the attitude that the So
scale must be maintained at all costs.
The economics Of the theater in
years past has been difficult for the
average business man to grasp.
Why any and every production play
ing in certain houses should be con-
sidered worth 81 was a mystery.
Likewise there always has been won
der at the preference of managers
for empty galleries at so cents to
full galleries at 25 cents.
The theater magnates complain
loudly about the injury done to their
business by the motion pictures. Af-
ter the first flush of the motion pic
ture novelty has worn off, even it's
sane adherents no longer think it can
ever take the place Of the speaking
stage. Much Of the success of the
motion picture has been due to the
willingness to experiment by the
younger and more adaptable business
men back of the new business. By
such experiment they have often
taken the wind out of the theaters'
sails when the Legitimate" could
have resisted by meeting the compe-
tition instead of ignoring it.
Hand in hand with the passing of
the stage spectacles that cost for
tunes, and the increasing demand for
simplicity and good taste, even in
musical comedy, goes this movement
to experiment with lower scale of
prices,

COL. ROOsEvELT's CHARGE

Colonel Roosevelt in a magazine
article charges that for a long time
Germany has been engaged in a con-
spiracy to make herself the worlds
headquarters for war munitions, by
the process Of underselling all rival
makers Of arms and ammunition, and
thus driving other countries out of
the industry which must be kept
alive If any other nation should ever
be equipped to resist aggression.
Given the privilege of :nonopolizing
facilities for arming it's soldiers, Ger
many would have placed itself in
position to dominate the world.
There has been more than suspi-
cion of this for years. French au-
thorities have feared it, and Lord
Roberts was not without grave con-
cern for future in which Germany
might stand alone in capability to
arm and maintain her vast forces
at full fighting strength.
Yet in the face of the testimony
on this point. and in disregard of the
fate OF Belgium and France and Rus
sia, there are Americans who still
insist that this country must not pre-
pare, must not permit munitions
industry 70 develop here. The up
building Of the mushroom war-sup-
ply business in this country is real
iy Of thu greatest Importance. It
ought to be encouraged and fostered.
To cut off the foreign market by an
embargo would be the supreme folly.
Yet hat very program is going to
b. urged upon Congress the coming
session, and there are signs that
many men who ought to know bet
er are going to support the program.
1t is a calamitous situation for
this country. A section of our own
people proves so devoted to the in
terest of foreign power that it is
willing to risk disaster here in order
to give advantage there. That many
sincerely patriotic people have united
with our hyphenated citizenry to ac-
complish this end, is only an indict-
ment of the unthinking sentimental
ism that makes men unable to see
things as they are. The counsels of
peace at any price must not be en-
tertained in time when all the
world is aflame with war; as we'll
cut off the water supply when con-
flagration is sweeping over the city,
and justify it on the ground that
conflagrations ought not to happen.
The Washington times., 1915-09-23

charge, especially, should be pressed
with all zeal. 1t has been charged
that Il . Eastland was through some
myster ous influence licensed to car
ry q much greater number of passen-
gers than was safe, and that there
was in this case, and has been in
others, altogether too intimate and
amiable a. relationship between the
inspectors and the owners, of vessels.
Government inspection is worse
than worthless if it is dishonest in
spection. The vessel that gets a
certificate of character and safety
from the Government, if she is not
entitled to it, becomes, a trap for the
If she had never been Of
ficially inspected, if there were not
authoritative pronouncement in her
favor, there would be a disposition
on somebody's part to raise question
about her adequacy. But unauthor-
lied inquiry, and criticism is discour-
aged in the face of administrative
assurance, and the death-trap of a
vessel becomes a lure to the unin-
formed.
There could hardly be a more VIC
ious offense than that which has
been charged in the Eastland case;
deliberately commissioning a danger
GUS vessel to carry many hundreds
more of passengers than could pos
sibly be safe aboard her. If there
was conspiracy, if Government au-
thorities were in effect bribed to per-
init such thing, then no punish
ment that the law contemplates can
be too severe, or can be imposed too
soon.
