iect concerning which they unanimously
and readily yielded their separate SOW
ereigntv was the subject of war, both
offensive and defensive. This rele-
gated all military and naval matters
from the state capitals TO the central
government at Washington. This
Transformed a cluster of separate and
independent states into a federal ma
tion from a military point Of view. The
states did rot lose their identity except
in military way. And they did not lose
even that; for to every state was gwen
its rightful share in the central gov
eminent. so that il could there, IN CO
operation with its sister states, main
tain the military safety of all more
efficiently than any one could main
tain its safety alone.
How logical, how natural. how easy!
How the safety Of every one becomes
the concern of all. and the safety Of
all becomes the interest of every sep
arate one! How little Delaware and
Rhode Island are safeguarded as well
as powerful Pennsylvania! And now
the voluntary disarming of every sep
arate state and the arming of the IN
terstate government incidentally re-
moves the menace Of one state to an
other! This is perhaps the largest
military benefit conferred by the ar
rangemen,. for there was greater dan
ger of friction among the states than
between any one of them and foreign
powers, three thousand miles away.

in peace, they soon find that other
blessings inevitably develop from

COLUMBIA TRUST
AIDED U. S. CREDIT
Banks Report DisclOses Sub.
scriptions to Various Funds
Formed Last Summer.

Willard V. King, president of the Co
lumbia Trust Company, has issued re-
port to the stockholders covering oper-
atoms during the two and One-haf
years which have passed since the Co
iumbia Trust Company and the
Knickerbocker Trust Company vera
merged. Referring TO the pan6s PSF
ticipation in the large undertakings for
the protection of American credit dur
ing the period following the sudden
outbreak of the war in Europe, Mr..
King says:
I'VE subscribed 1886, 900 toward the
fund to meet the obligations of New
York City, although this subscription
involved our placing S1,230,000 in gold
at the disposal of the city at a time
when gold was unusually precious; We
subscribed S535,340 in gold toward the
fund to provide for the payment Of
other American debts abroad; We sub
scribed Sl,000,000 toward the national
fund to provide loans upon cotton, and
100000 toward the loan fund 70 facili-
tate the reopening of the New York
Cotton Exchange.
THE net earnings of the company
from June s, 1912. to December 81, 1914,
approximately two and a half years,
have been $2,027. 9S1, equal TO 40 per
cent per snnum on the 100000 CAPT
tai; or, to state it more fairly, 81 per
cent upon the 100000 capital and
surplus. This is after deducting all
losses except depreciation in real es-
tate and securities-an item which has
been unusually large during that
period. During the first two years this
was partly due to declining railroad
credit and partly to higher cost of cap
ital. A further and more serious fall in
prices resulted from the European war.
These declines we have met from time
to time as they occurred, charging our
securities down to the market quota
tons; and while these inroads into our
earnings have been discoursging, at
least by facing them promptly we have
prevented an alarming accumulation"

is not fortified against New Jersey nor
st. Louis against Illinois. We see that
Ohio is not struggling for an Atlantic
port, for every state has every port
under the Stars and Stripes that II
can use Every facility that the entire
nation can give for commerce with all
the states and all the world belongs
to every state. We see that while
there is a little state pride here and
there. so much freedom OF every KIND
exists that no state has any reason to
fight. Under the interstate government
at Washington, every state IS protect

-BE supreme world problem Of the


-,HE supreme world problem Of the
hour Is not how to stop the
present war st any particular
stage, but how 20 make war unneees-
sary and impossible in future. Think
ing people in all nations, belligerent
as we'll as neutral ones, are graphing
with this problem.
Our American union affords the
most conspicuous example Of free and
peaceful intercourse attained by rival
sovereign states through the creation
Of a strong central government. The
whole world should turn TO this eH-
ample now in Its effort 20 find a way
70 make war everywhere unnecessary
and impossible. VIII It not help the
mind 70 estimate truly the value OF
this great object lesson 70 picture
forth what would have happened, in all
probability. II these states had not
united?
Let us imagine the best we can,
What would have been the history ana
present condition Of the magnificent
territory on this continent now under
the Stars and Stripes II the thirteen
original states had not formed "a more
perfect union" etc, under the OonsN-
tuition Of 1887.
The union under the "Artlcies OF
FEDERATION" was formed under the
stress Of war and for the purpose OF
Nvagine war IN common for relief from
oppression. The first few years OF
pesce and liberty clearly demonstrated
The temporary and unstable character
Of the federation under these articles
II requires no occult powers 70 see
that these articles could not have heId
the states together.
let us project our mental vision for
ward from the close Of the Revolution
Hrv War into the probable course OF
events for the states without the bind
;ne effect Of our national Constitution
or some similar document.
Disunion surely would have come IN
n very few years All interferences
from foreign countries would nave
brought about temporary defensive al
lisnces of the states similar 10 thsJ
which enabled them 10 establish thelr
independence from England. nus we
need 70 consider only the political ana
industrial developments on TINS conu-
nent as they would have resulted with
out the unifying effect Of our national
Constitution.
The first break in the Union would
soon have been followed By complete
breakup. 80 strong was state prlde.
Massachusetts would have dominated
the region known as New England, and
sooner or later would have taken unto
herself the greater portion OF that sec
ton. Virginia would have become
Southern empire, extending to the Mis-
sissippi, and would have contended
with Pennsylvania for Maryland and
Delaware. Georgia, the state Of largest
area at the close Of the Revolution,
though undevelopcd, would have devel-
oped into another Southern empire eX-
tending 20 the Mississippi. Florida

Japs Start Pearl Farming.

Japan, responsible for much that is
unusual, has given the world a new
kind of farm-the pearl farm. Its crop
is pearl bearing oysters, and the owner
is DR.. Mikimoto, a wealthy japanese
scientist, who, it is said, discovered
that the bivalves could be trained to
work for man and bring forth the
highly priced stones at his will. At his
farm. where the pearls are now pro-
duced as a regular crop, some fifty
square miles of water area is under
cultivation, says "The Dundee Adver-
tiser" The water varies in depth from
five to fifteen fathoms. From three TO
five years are required for the oyster
to produce a good sized pearl, after
having been subjected TO scientific
treatment. The task of collecting tn,
trained oysters on this big Japanese
farm is all done by women divers.
