OF course the Germans have a right
to be enthusiastic over the success of
General Won Hindenberg in driving
the Russians out Of East Prussia, but
armies of the car have been decisively
whipped. Russia's resources in men
are too great for such a victory to be
won at this stage of the war. When
the Gerpan army in the western arena
OF the war was hurled back from the
gates of Paris it was not overwhelmed
by any means.

OUR EXPORT TRADE.

For some years past our produc-
ton. especially in manufactures, has
been gaining on our home consump-
ton. With natural resources which
seemed inexhaustible, we treated the
future with the same disregard a
young man has for life-it appears to
be SO long and large ahead. writes H.
H. Windsor in the March Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. Already has come
the time when we hoped to send our
wares to distant lands, as England and
France and Germany have done for
years. With few notable exceptions,
and those chiefly very large interests,
we have not progressed very far.
Hence. when the war occurred. the
great uninformed majority immedi-
ately declared that now was our OPP
portunity which generous Fate had
handed US on q silver platter. South
America. the Orient, Australia, and
various islands in numerous seas must
stretch out suppliant hands for us to
NIL with all manner Of manufactured
goods.
That was over six months ago. but
thus far the outstretched arms. if any
have not been long enough to bridge
the gulf. On the contrary. q great
volume of exports previously leaving
our shores has been largely curtailed
or entirely suspended. Evidently WI
have yet much to learn.
i For many reasons export trade i,
hard to get and slow to secure. W.

NEEDED-THOUGHT ON MEXICO.

NEEDED-THOUG ON MEXICO.
Those who favor Mexican interven-
ton by force of arms have strong
popular emotions on which to play,
says The New Republic. The rest of
us should therefore be prepared with
a positive policy. THAT this country
Is drifting into danger will not be de-
MED; that the future ought to be
planned now is obvious. More to start
the discussion than to end 1t, we
should like to suggest a few axioms
and hypothesis in q constructive
Mexican policy.
Assume a real desire to avoid milf
tary conquest and to see established
in Mexico a government acceptable to
a large share OF the articulate Next
cans. and strong enough to keep the
peace. It would seem. then, that
whatever may be thought Of tho pres
ident's policy in the past, at the mo-
ment watchful waiting lis his only
course. But for what Is he to wait :?
For the appearance Of some man At
the head of a powerful faction who
seems to give evidence OF fitness to
govern.
IF such q man energies he will de-
serve a whole-hearted support from
this government, a support which
would enable him to secure loans, and
to fight down the incipient rebellions
which will undoubtedly continue to
flare up all over Mexico for some
years to come. This will involve
stamping upon many excellent land
programs and disappointing some
who hope to see Mexico appear very
soon as a socialized agrarian democ-
racy. The hopes are, in our opinion
not not within human possibility.
THE disease OF clericalism and feu-
dial landlordism cannot be stamped out
by force. Something can be done by
revolution, but more can be done b,
economic change, and the growth o.
industrialism.. For this peace and No
curity are essential, q return from tn,
habit of living by war and plumber t,
the production of wealth. A genera
ton of guerilla warfare will not pro
duce a race of Mexicans fit to estab
lish a civilization for themselves.

No better evidence IL needed that
much of the increase in. the price of
wheat and the cost of bread in this
country has been due to speculation
than the well-authenticated statistics
which show that there IS still on

bushels of wheat more than the
amount that the people will need to
run them until next July. or when the

giving a good account Of themselves,
Dave Black is also ready if needed.
To this pitching strength is added
an infield that is at last playing some
real baseball. Zeider has gone back
to second base, and does not seem
bothered by his lame back. The
shorter throw may be in his favor.
Jim Smith is climbing steadily as a
batter and has steadied in the defen-
sive department. Fritz is playing a
fine game at third and Beck is COM
ing back at first. The oUtfield is and
always has been the strong end of
the club.
1t is not likely that any additions
will be made to the roster during the
remainder of the season. Other clubs
which have men to strengthen the
locals need them too badly to make
deals and there is no intention of en-
ticing any stars away from organized
baseball.
Each game Mcconnell pitches en-
phasizes what his worth would have
been to the Cubs at this crucial pc
Rod, when Manager Bresnahan is in
dire straits for able pitching material
Long George can cope with anything
in the Federal circuit, and the bat-l
ting there is just as stout as in the
Tener organization. His control has
been good in every game.
Fritz's triple and Smiths double
we're the big blows that spilled Bob
Groom yesterday. Mcconnell allowed
seven hits.
Not only did the Cubs win ball
game yesterday, but Larry Cheney
pitched a full nine innings, the first
time a Cub pitcher has compiled such
an achievement since the eastern trip,
was started. By losing the first game
of the double bill the Cubs had been
trimmed six straight and they needs
dthe afterpiece badly.

into the OOZe, plunged full length on
the ground and showed his mitt in
front of the ball. It stuck in the glove
and Jack scrambled to the bag before
Lapp could make it. The score was
close at that stage, and every out was
needed by the SOx to stop the enemy.
This season the Sox are establish
ing record Tor playing in the face of
impossible Weather conditions. The
diamond was bad at the start of the
game and rain in the first few in
nings made it worse. But the game
was started and carried through. The
Sox need games now, with the race
tight, and Rowland is a believer in
active work every day to keep a team
in condition.
Earlier in the season games were
cancelled at the Federal league park
on two or three occasions because of
inclement weather, but the SOx went
on with the schedule.
Shaking up the Sox batting order,
dropping Felsch to sixth place and
putting LiebOld on top, has increased
the run-getting ability of the team.
Happy is specializing in long smash
es. Even his singles have no tinge

ell to the oUtfeld far ei.Ough to let

and is doing it.
Weeks of determined effort by the
Whales have at last been crowned
with success, for they are now brack-
eted with the st. Louis Terriers for
the lead in the Federal league race.
And the fast pace the North Siders
have been hitting recently indicates
they should be able to maintain them
selves in the front rank.

today to consider the motion of
lawyers for Harry K. Thaw that
he be granted a jury trial to de
termine his sanity. He held that
the writ in the case was return
able on Monday next and should
be entertained by the justice then

announce his decision.
Thaw and his mother were both

TWO OFFICERS OF
The LAW ARRESTED

W. A. Kunkel and Fred Scherer.
5wo officials of Indiana county, and
residents of Ernest have been ar
rested on charges of malicious mis-
chief, on information furnished bv
Tony Ongora, of Ernest. They
were taken into custody by Con
stable Robert Kerr, of Indiana,
and furnished bond for hearing
on Apri 20, between the hours of 9
and 10 clock a. m.
The officers are charged with the
unwarranted shooting of Ongora s
dog, which animal was registered
and on which the county tax had
been paid, the tag being placed on
the dogs collar. Another feature
of the ease was the fact that the
canine was tied fast in the foreign
er's yard.
The foreigner alleges undue per-
sccution on the part Of the officers
for some unknown reason and he
wants justice.

DIVER WALKS ALONG
TOP OF SUNKEN F-4

Honolulu, April 16-Crief Gun
ner's Mate Frank Crilly went 288
feet under water here today and
walked along the top Of the sub
marine FL, which disappeared oI
March 25. The depth is said by
naval officials to be worlds div
ing record.
He found the F-4 lying on a
smooth sandy bottom with no CO.
raj grCNvths to impede hosting
operations. She lay on her star
board side, her bow pointing to
the shore. Two parted lines were
found attached to the craft.
After Crilly reported it was
said further observations would
probably be made before an at
tempt is made to raise the F-4.
Crilly went down in an ordinary
diving suit and the re-cOmpression
chamber designed to reduce pres
sure on the diver was not used.
Crilly was under water two
hours. 1t took five minutes for him
to make the descent and he was on
the bottom Il minutes. An hour
and forty-five minutes was requir-
ed to bring him to the surface in
order to accustom him gradually
to the change in air pressure.

GOOD NEWS FOR
ROAD TRAVELLERS

Ebensburg, April 16-The coun-
ty commissioners Monday morn
ing started James Figart, of Jack
son township, with a force of men
to put the road in shape from
Mundy's Cross Roads to the Indi-
ana county line. Mr.. Figart and
his force will use King road drags
on the surface of the road and put
the highway in as good condition
as possible. The commissioners are
planning to begin work very short
ly on the road between Ebensburg
and Cresson.
One of the projects now con-
templated in that direction is the
elimination of most dangerous
curve at a point near the Lilly
farm, at present operated by a
man named Sheehan. The road
at the curve in questio" runs r1-
der the G.. & G.. branch Of the p r
r. and has been menace for
years. On either side of the rail
road it is impossible to see any
vehicle approaching from the 9th
er direction and a number of seri-
Gus smashups have been narrow
Ily avoided in the past.
