LETTERS TO TIMES MAIL BAG

Mr.. Wanamaker should read the Mon
roe Doctrine and the American Consti-
tuition. He should study American in
stitutions and ask himself. Why am

He says further:
Upon the information of the local
branch Of the league a resolution
expressing confidence that the Presi-
dent OF the United States will find
an honorable and, If possible, a
peaceful solution Of the grave prob
lens with which we are confronted
and that we join in pledging him
our loyal support in any course
which may prove to be necessary
In order to preserve our national
ideals and vindicate our national
honor"
Should M Wanamaker undertake to

THE RUSSIAN TRADE PLAN

The Russian government has at
last agreed to raise it's embargo on
exports destined to the United
States, under conditions which this
Government proposed. 1t is arranged
that in order to insure that the ex-
ports shall not become available to
the enemies Of Russia, by reship-
ment from the United States, they
shall be consigned to Secretary of
Commerce Redfield, who shall dis
tribute them among the American
houses for which they are intended.
These in turn will give bond guar
anteeing that they shall not be re-
shipped to any enemy of Russia or
otherwise permitted to get into the
hands of an enemy.
On these conditions Russia will
permit her exports to America to be
reopened, and Sweden will cancel the
regulations which, in the interest of
neutrality, she has been maintain
ing, by which the transport of Rus
sian goods across that country for
export was forbidden.
The arrangement is a somewhat
cumbrous one, but when the ma
chinery is perfected for its opera
ton, and the necessary inspection
force is properly distributed, the
difficulties will be reduced to a mini
mum. The resumption of this i'm
portant trade under this arrange
ment is incidentally new testimony
to the wisdom that brought about
creation of the Department of Com
merce. Russia originally wanted a
guarantee of the State Department
that it's exports to the United States
should not fall into the hands of her
enemies. This the State Depart
ment for various and obvious rea-
sons could not give; but the De-
partment of Commerce was able to
show that it was organized with just
such powers as were necessary in
these circumstances, and Russia ac-
cepted it's guarantees.

r1en who make up the National Fine

there are number Of them on which

pointed for the sole purpose Of CIV

ognition for past performances, real
or imagined. The members Of the
Commission of Fine Arts have given
their best talent and their time to
the task of making Washing gton
more beautiful simply for the love
Of it.
To these men belongs the credit
for the plan for the new Washing
ton beautiful, for the arrangement
to make the south side of Pennsyl-

OF the location and style Of architec-

REAL HELPS TO BUSINESS

The Baltimore and Ohio railway
traverses one of the greatest APPLE
producing and general fruit-growing
sections of the world. The Shenan-
doah valley and the West Virginia
territories along its lines have be-
come immense contributors in recent
years to the worlds supplies, es-
pecially Of apples, and the traffic is
grown to proportions of the first i'm
portance to the railroads.
Recently the Baltimore and Ohio
has issued directory Of the apple
and peach business, containing the
names and addresses of fruit grow
ers tributary to its lines, and indi-
eating when possible the varieties to
be obtained from each grower.
Corollary to this aid to the buyer
another department of the directory
contains names and addresses OF
buyers and dealers in these fruits
throughout the East and Northern
parts of the country.
This is sensible, practical effort
in behalf of business development
and it is highly creditable to the
railroad company. Incidentally, II
somewhat weakens the claim which
was put forth in behalf Of some OF

A WON rs CIVIC WORK

Close upon the resignation of Miss
Edith c. Westcott as principal of
Western High School, the public
schools sustained another loss yes-
terday in the death Of Miss Elizabeth
V. Brown, director of primary in
struction, an educator, club woman.
author, and lecturer.
For introducing in the lower
grades Of the Capitals schools manv
of the innovations that have been
copied elsewhere, Miss Brown was
primarily responsible. She was par.
tlcularly interested in nature study,
and she wrote books for teaching
children the beauties of the woods
and fields as we'll as worked out
courses of study now used here.
In addition to her supervisory work
n the schools she found time for
many outside interests. Under her
leadership the College Women's
Club started it's movement to erect
club house, and she was identified
IN movements for civic welfare fur
tEered through the Monday Evening
Club and through the woman's de-
partment Of the National Civic Fed
Grafton.
In the lecture field she attained
recognition outside Of Washington
and as a summer lecturer to girls
IN the summer schools at the Uni
versHy of Tennessee she was partic-
ularly valued.

Old School Cruiser
At Navy Yard Wharf

With several hundred young men
who are training to become masters Of
ships In the United States merchant
marine on board. the old United States
cruiser Ranger. the nautical school
ship Of Massachusetts, is here at the
Navy Yard wharf. The Ranger, which
has been on a training cruise through
the West Indies and along the north
coast of South America, Is now working
her way back to Boston.
The vessel was built for the navy at
Wilmington, Del. When she became
obsolete for naval purposes she was
loaned by the Government to the State
Of Massachusetts for use In training
men for careers on merchant ships.

Takes Exception To John Wana-

Belgium.

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
John Wanamaker is a great peace

States Government purchase Belgium
from Germany. He recognizes the mill
tary status. He says it is the duty"
Of the business men of the land Of

ment money with which to purchase
the land held as hostage for war
indemnity.
Mr.. Wanamakers remarks are any
thing but American. They are incon-
sistent in that he adds: Belgium,
after the war, will be handed over to
its imperial rulers"
Mr.. Wanamaker is probably not a
student of international law. He would
annul the first precept Of righteous
ness. Belgium belongs to Belgium.

Having read Mrs. Granger's article

RAILROADS ON THEIR FEET

rurtner DETAILS OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission figures on
railway earnings for May put a
better aspect, on the transportation
situation from one point of view and
from another a worse.
When the first figures of operat-
ing revenues, operating expenses,
and net operating incomes were
given out with the returns of all the
roads in all territories Jumped to-
gether it looked as if the sensa ational
gain in net earnings was achieved
almost entirely by heavy reductions
OF expenses everywhere.
But this, did not prove to be so.
AS a matter Of fact, the Eastern
roads show a material increase of
operating revenues, with . gain of
2.7 per cent mile. Thia together
with the reduced expenditures on the
Eastern lines. produced the extraor-
dinary result of an increase of 40
per cent in net operating revenue.
Good undoubtedly for the East.
And, Of course, as the great bulk
of the whole traffic is in this Eastern
territory these figures helped enor-
mously, when the figures of all the
railroads in all territories were con
solidated, to make it appear that
there had been very much more of
an improvement in other parts of
the country than there really was.
For example, because of the big
gains on the vast business of the
Eastern roads, the net operating in
come a mile of all the roads to-
gether is made to appear at 80 per
cent; but when we come to look at
the other territory separately we
find that, because there was a de-
crease of operating revenues of 6.6
per cent on the Southern railways,
there was, despite heavily reduced
expenses, an increase Of net operat-
ing revenues there of only 12.1 per
cent. Likewise because the total op-
Grating revenue of the Western rail-
ways decreased 2 per cent there was,
in spite of the heavy reduction of
operating expenses, an increase of
net operating revenue there of only
1872 per cent.
In other words, the very emphat-
ically improved condition of the
Eastern railroads is made in the con-
-solidated report to cover up the far
from satisfactory condition Of other
roads, especially in the South. But
the good thing about the situation,
as shown by the Eastern gain, is
that when the Interstate Commerce
Commission has done for railroads in
the K>st Of the country what it has
done for railroads in the Eastern ter
ritory-granted rise of traffic rates
which will permit the carriers to
make living-then the whole rail-
road situation will show a marked
improvement; and for the good of
the country it is as necessary to
have this improvement in the South
as in the West and in the West as in
the East.
When the Interstate Commerce
Commission has cleaned up the
whole job of putting the carriers on
their feet, which is it's duty to per-
form and which it undoubtedly will
perform, the general railroad situa-
ton will begin to be in frst-class
shape.
