VERY PRACTICAL

Just now the idea of the hour is
to teach pupils things in schools
which are practical" The Penn
sylvania Association Of Weights and
Measures comes forth with a highly
practical suggestion. Much argu-
ment has been directed to women to
watch the scales when they purchase
groceries and meats. The advisers
have calmly overlooked the fact that
much Of the marketing is done by
children.
The Pennsylvania would have the
children taught to be careful and
watchful purchasers. The sugges-
tion is a good one. 1t implies no
discredit upon the dealer. The
superintendent of weights, measures
and markets here found that a ma
jority of the scales reported out of
order last winter cheated the dealer,
not the customer. Dealers are gen.
orally honest, but often, in the press
of business, they are careless. That
is why customers, including the chill
dren, should be taught to watch out
for themselves.
The Washington times., 1915-08-22

price expansion. There must be con-
sideration for the consequences If
when peace came we should be in
flated and extended, and Europe's s
reviving industries should suddenly
begin sending cheap goods to us to
compete with our dear ones. Europe
would get her gold back, but would
compel us to- liquidate our more or
less speculative operations so fast
that disaster might come.
By all means the safest way to
meet this situation is for this coun-
try's financial authorities to insist
on getting American securities
rather than gold to the fullest ex-
tent possible. If the allied nations
make spectacular demonstration of
their financial power by sending us
shiploads of gold it will not be be.
cause they can afford to be generous
with the gold, but rather because
they consider that sending gold in
stead of securities is on the whole
the best policy for them at this time
They are probably right; but it is
our business to look at the transac-
tion from the American point OF
view.
The Washington times., 1915-08-22
CONGRESS MUST MEET

Grover Cleveland's complaint that
he "had Congress on his hands" did
some injustice to our legislative in
stitutions. 1t is become quite too
fashionable to berate Congress as in
competent, unintelligent, and ineffi-
cient, whereas it measures up very
we'll to the standards of other par
liaments. There have been times
when Congress complained, and with
reason, of having President on its
hands.
Our system, at any rate, requires
that Congress and the President
should work together. 1t is sense
less to discuss whether the Execu-
tive might handle matters all alone
if he had a sweeping grant of pow
er. He has no such grant, and can't
get it save from Congress; even Con-
gress cannot give him that which the
Constitution reserves from him.
Perhaps it would be better if the
President could make appropria-
tions, order navy and army policy,
declare war and make peace, all to
suit himself. There are some peo-
pie who think so-altogether too
many of them. 1t happens that the
President doesn't and can't do these
things under our system. He can in
vestigate and have rerorts made
from now to doomsday on the condi-
tions and needs of the army and
navy. But he can't spend one soli-
tary red cent that Congress doesn't
provide for him.
Congress ought to be in session
right now. 1t would steady the
whole country. It would be the be-
ginning Of preparation for eventuali-
ties. The great mistake has been to
let precious months pass by without
real moves toward readiness. If the
coming weeks shall bring a crisis
such as now seems gravely to i'm
pend, the wickedness of this waste
of golden months from the work of
preparation will be realized. But it
will be too late.

BRITISH USE U.BOATS
TAKEN FROM KAISER
Germany Believed to Have Rush.
ed Into Action Whole Fleet
of New Submarines.

NEW YORK. Aug. 22.-Several Ger
man submarines, captured by the Brit
ish since the 1st OF June. have been
repaired and are actually in service
with the British feet.
This was learned from a passenger
aboard the White Star liner Cymric.
whose source OF information was of a
nature that cannot be questioned. From
the same source 1t was learned that
one OF Won Tirpitzs U-boats was cap
trrcd August by the wire nets now
employed by the British of Harwich.
1t has been reported that between
twenty and forty enemy submersibles
have been captured or sunk, but these
figures were not confirmed by the source
from which the Cymric passenger
whose name. for good reasons, cannot
be revealed. obtained his information
No steamers have been sunk for at
least three weeks of the south coast OF
England. where the u-boats were most
active early this year. Measures taken
by the British admiralty have made II
extremely difficult for the submarine:
have been sunk off the west coast OF
England for a number Of weeks,

minimum the danger from submarines

that most OF Germany's submarine,

what / learned on ny arrival here
should say that the Germans have

BLAMING 1T ON BRYAN

DR.. Reinsch, American minister to
China, has been telling the President
that it was a sad mistake for this
country not to join in the six-power
loan to the Peking government.
Washington dispatches to out-of-
town papers point out that this six
power cooperation was practically
organized before the Wilson Admin
istration came into Office; then Sec
retary Bryan kicked it over on the
ground that it was vicious phase
of dollar diplomacy"
Minister Reinsch is represented as
urging that the United States re-
verse it's attitude and now give en-
Icouragement to efforts of the Chi
nese to secure money in this country.
There are two great difficulties in
the way. One is the uncertainty that
financiers would have about the
vacillating policy of this Govern
ment; the other is the fear that in
effect China has been taken under
Japanese domination, and that loans
of American money to China would
help Japan consolidate it's interests
there. 1t is quite possible that DR.,
Reinsch is giving sound advice, but
until there is better understanding
of the relations between Japan and
China it will be doubtful whether
American money will seek outlet
there. The Standard Oils recent ex-
perience, apparently the result of
Japanese influence at Peking, is not
reassuring.

THE MOTOR GATEWAY TO THE
SOUTH

Washington has awakened to it's
opportunity as a convention city; it
has not yet begun to realize it's pos
sibilities as an automobile touring
center.
The National Capital is going to
reap richer benefit yearly from
autoists. The reason is simple. I'm
provements have been made in the
Southern roads during the past few
years which invite motorists to the
rich scenery of the South, and they
have become tired of touring exclu-
sively in New England and in New
York State.
This is not theory. 1t is the
situation as the automobile men see
it. In the face of that what induce
ments has Washington to offer to
the Northern tourist who would pass
through here on his way South? The
National Capital and all it's advant-
ages are his, he is afforded excellent
accommodations, and stores which
he has not seen equaled since he
left New York. But when he starts
to leave Washington and proceed
South, aye, there's the rub! y
Normally the motorist will wish
to go on to Richmond, because from
there he can proceed by direct roads
