The matter Of neutral trade in mu-
nitions of war is one Of the questions
to be settled in the revised interna-
tional law. 1t has come to the front
before. Sale Of European arms to the
Confederacy was problem for the
United States to contend with fifty
years ago. but as 1t practically block
AIDED all southern ports importation by
the south was difficult and could have
no decisive influence upon the fortunes
Of the war. The system Of armament
b now so complicated, new inventions
and types SO frequent, and the expense
Of changes to keep up to date Is so
enormous, that many conservative ma
lions will prefer to depend upon the
worlds market instead Of investing
vast sums in weapons which may be
obsolete before a war crisis is on. In
ternational law can't pretend to safe
guard weaklings who look for priyi-
leges without risks. "All Is fair In
war;" says the adage, and those who
engage In war must take their chances
that luck may favor their foe.

THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
(. LIFE.
Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie H. Burroughs.

The moral phase of the Negro
problem is the most serious part of
the whole aggravating question. To
improve the standard of the life of the
masses is the only solution.
As with other races, the standards
in the homes are set up by the women
who preside over them. Therefore
to bring about reform the woman
hood of the race must be taught
how to instruct their children In
those virtues, that have made the
most advanced races what they are.
We are prone to think that the
Negro is by nature religious and
therefore moral. He is both; but he
is not enough of either when it comes
to living up to fundamental principles
every day life. Because of his crude
conception of what the Christian re-
ligion really is he too often practices
one thing and breaches another.
Often the foremost woman in the
church is so far from model for her
less ambitious sisters that they look
with contempt upon her and dis
credit religion. This misrepresenta-
ton of the genuine article takes many
forms and sometimes the one woman
is a combination of all. She allows
beer drinking, card playing, and rag
time music in her home. She is loose
in her conversation. Her language is
often smutty Her demeanor be-
comes woman of the street. Her
home is hangout for sliding elders"
and loafing, hungry preachers. Her
house is poorly kept. Her children
are too young to BE men and wom-
en- and too old to be children. They
are therefore, the freshest things in
the neighborhood. They run the
church. They sit in the front heat,
chew gum, talk and keep their gang"
giggling. To speak to them is to
throw a match into a magazine of
powder. ..-s- ~ .-
These wise and talented youngsters
of the leading sisters, get into the
choir and start trouble for the Choir
listers. They get religion and start
trouble for the deacons. These chill
dren of too many of those who aspire
to leadership in our local churches
presume too much on the standing
and influence of their mothers and
give our churches all kinds of trouble.
What we need is a new type of
women in our homes as mothers,
and a new type of women in. our
churches as leaders and examples for
the young. @ Pc.
The wig wearing, gum chewing,
beer smelling, mouth running, street
trotting, home neglecting, convention
fever type of women are out of style,
and from them may we soon be de-
livered.

Statistics furnished by the depart
ment Of commerce indicate that the
foreign trade Of the United States did
not really increase in the fiscal year
1914-15-that is to say, that, while there
was an increase Of almost / per cent
over that Of the corresponding period
Of 1928, there would in normal
times have been an increase of prob
ably 8 or per cent. The trade in
1884, Of course, fell OF, and that of
this year would have been lower but
for the squirt in exports Of war NUM-

Fournier soaked a homer and two sin
giles.
Cy Williams, on the jaunt of the
Cubs through the Southern league
territory, is slamming the ball just as
he did two years. ago when he was
given a regular chance on the west
side. He puts all the power of his
broad shoulders and long arms into
his efforts and the result is a line
hit, the ball travelling far and fast be-
fore it stops.
Williams hits with even more force
than Vic Safer, and the blond first
baseman for two season has been the
hardest natural hitter in the Cub
troop, not excepting Heine thinner
man. The only member of Chicago
team who gets a more natural solid
crack at the ball than Safer is Jack
Fourier of the White Sox.
Long Cy appears to have overcome
much of the weakness he formerly
exhibited before left-handed pitching.
The teaching of Bresnahan is begin
ming to show itself. In addition to
this, Williams is using every ounce of
his speed in baserunning. This is not
confined to stealing alone, but on sew
eral occasion he has taken two bases
on an ordinary single simply because
he turned the unexpected, his legs
and brain working together. Against
Nashville yesterday Cy cracked pair
of homers.
Standridge is being groomed for
regular pitching assignment. He was
sent the distance against Nashville,
and, with Bresnahan helping him
along, pulled through easily. He
would not have yielded four runs if
his support had been better. Cubs
counted seven.
Today the Cubs start a two-game
series with Chattanooga.

this plainly the other day in a game
against Stovalls Kawfeds.
DefensiVely the team was all right,
and Brown and LANCE did some ex-
cellent pitching, but, because of the
lack of batting practice secured in
Shreveport, the Whales were no great
shakes when it came to pushing runs
across and we're licked.
Better weather will be encount-
cred in the next few days and Tinker
will drive his men hard in games be-
tween two squads of the team. Only
four more days remain before the
season will be shot open on the north
side against ST. Louis, and this means
a stupendous task. Unless the Whale
pitching staff is even better than we
think, and it looks like mighty fine
aggregation, the Whales are liable to
get away to poor start.
Cards licked Browns, to o, in

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15-The gov.
eminent has again issued instructions
to all Americans living in Mexico, that
if they value their lives it would be
better for them to leave the country
at once. The same instructions were
issued months ago, and were largely
followed, except in the northern coun-
ties. The new instructions are couch.
ed in language much more urgent than
the privious ones, and is especially
directed to citizens of the United
States residing in the states of Sonora
and Chihuahua and other northern
states. In this region great military
activities are being noticed, and the
border conditions have become acute.
Because of this the government feels
that Americans remaining in Mexico
are at this time assuming an extra

CHANGE COLOR
NEWSPAPERS

Owing to the failure to get German
dyes, the color of news print paper will
be gradually changed.
Not only has the war made all kinds
of material used in printing higher,
but there is also an absolute shortage
of paper. This reminds us of the
great tracts of timber in Alaska which
could be utilized for making paper.
The following self-explantory letter
to the Daily Times is from the Crown
Willamette Paper Company regarding
the change which will be made in the
color of paper:
The writer, or his representative,
has discussed with you the question Of
shortage of dyes by reason of the
European war. and has advised that
sooner or later it Would be impossible
to continue the present color of news
print paper. This shortage OF dyes
has become acute. and 1t is impossible
to secure the blue and red dyes which
in combination help to give the news
print its effective color. These con-
The Chitina leader., 1915-09-21

ditions exist throughout the entire
paper trade. We understood you have
left the reduction of color to our dis
erection.
Our stock on hand will last but a
few months. We will endeavor to
make our deliveries on your contracts
in such manner that the change OF
color will proceed by easy stages SO
that the various editions will not
show too much daily contrast, and
readers and advertisers will thus be-
come accustomed without comment to
the new conditions. Every manufac.
turer and publisher in this country and
Canada is obliged to meet this condi.
ton, and it will therefore work NO
unusual hardship on any particular
customer.
