For half century the Republican
party devoted its efforts to the up
building of American industry, that
the home market might be sup piled
by homemade goods, and this object
was attained. Under the Democratic
administration the offort has been
made to open the home market to the
foreign manufacturer. No other ma
ton in all the world presents a mar
ket 90 compare to that of the United
States. In round numbers, the con-
sumptive demand Of our own people
amounts to the stupendous figure of
thirty-eight billions of dollars annual
ly. 1t costs us 100000, 900 day to
live on the American standard The
export business of the United States
for the last fiscal year was but ST.
700, 100000 or less than one-twelfth of
the home trade. OF the imports that
entered United States ports in July,
1915, 69,4 per cent came in duty free.
Do we want to jeapordize our home
market to create commerce with for
eign nations? Is not the Republican
party policy of protection for home
workmen to be preferred TO the Demo-
cratic policy of free trade, that will
first of all reduce wages because it
will reduce the ability of the employ
er to pay wages Omaha Bee.

dent Wilson appears determined to
be re-elected,if possible, on the issue
of national defense" This may win
but we very much doubt it. The
people are burdened now with taxation
and doubling the burden will not
prove popular. Again, why the neces
sity, all at once, of this war prepara-

example of preparedness ON the part
Of certain European nations. Again,
warships now will be obsolete in a

TWO MORE YEARS OF WAR.

While onlookers in the worlds war
have wondered at the failure of the
Russian armies to stop the German
advances in Poland the strategists
of the Russian staff are playing the
game on the supposition that il will
last for at least two years yet, ac-
cording to man closely in touch
with the czar and his advisers.

than that it is shaping its own re-

The increase in freight business be-

A GLANCE AT THE ORIENT.

During the brief moments that the
European and Mexican reels are not
on the screen we get a Flash" of
the Japanese plot which has developed
into serial of unusual dramatic
quality.
The latest danger is Japanese arms
upon Chinese soil to enforce Japanese
dictatorship. We we're content to
issue a feeble protest when in May,
1916, Japan reduced the great re-
public of China to condition of vas
salage without firing gun. But the
Chinese nation. with its flag of five
bars, each representing different
race, with its shell of military force
and little mind of its own, has been
thoroughly aroused to the shame of
crumbling policy that forced it to
China today is fighting a new kind
of warfare. 1t is the national boy
colt against japanese goods.
A campaign has been started to
raise National Salvation fund" of
$25,000,000. The intention is to build
IN army and navy for China and to
foster home industries. One of the
conditions of the campaign is that the
entire amount be raised in one year
Half of it has been subscribed already
by rich and poor alike. Those who
remember China's feat in ridding it
self of opium when the world said 1t
could not be done, have faith in the
financial success of the movement.
We do not appreciate the strength
of this boycott not the disasterous
results it is having in Japan. But
when we realize that China is Japan's
best customer and that the sales for
the first six months of 1915 have fall
en- off $10,O00,00O, and this in face
of the shutting off of the European
market which China patronized lber-
ally, the gravity of the situation can
be appreciated to marked degree.
What will Japan do in the face Of
this opposition? China is made up of
guilds far more powerful than the
labor unions of this country An or
der has long been in effect which alb
solutely prohibits the buying or dis
playing of Japanese products, the
changing of Japanese money or even
the patronage of Japanese moving
pictures. The boycott has been a
Chinese weapon for years. 1t was
used against America at the time
of the Asiatic exclusion law, but only
in a few provinces. The present boy
colt is nation wide. 1t is a slap in
the face of Japan's aggression that
cannot &c unheeded.
Japanese domination of the orient
is matter of grave concern. Or
dinarily we should not be jealous of
one nation acquiring power on another
continent, but we cannot overlook the
fact that Japan does not like this
country. Moreover the little brown
man loves to fight. He has had five
wars in the last 81 wears and all have
been profitable. What cares he that
the government is loaded down with
debt, or that it takes money to have
war? China is rich in natural re-
sources and the Jap knows how to
develop them.
While we are insuring the Atlantic
coast it might be just as well to take
out few policies in favor of the Pa
cific.-Des Moines Capital.

SUBMARINES BETRAYED
BY SOUND WAVES

The submarine has long depended
for its defensive powers on the fact
chat travelling below the surface OF
che water, it was invisible to the crews
of surface ships Thus it can approach
its target without attracting atten-
lion to itself and, at the opportune
moment, after raising the periscope
crifle above the water to secure its
bearings and maneuver into the most
favorable position for attacking the
enemy, fire torpedo at fairly
close range.
But while the submarine may be in
visible when SO desired, it is not noise
less. and therein lies its weak point
which is now being made use of in a
system for betraying the presence OF
underwater craft. Not only is it pos
slble at the present time to detect
submarines at considerable distance
away, but the same apparatus en-
TO determine in what direction the
craft may be travelling as well as its
probable speed. Thus the great ad-
vantage of this type of fighting YES
sel-the very one that is its raison
d'etre-has at last been nullified by
causing the ear to detect what the
eye cannot.
Since the German submarines enter
ed their unprecedented campaign
against the English and French ship
ping, experts in the latter country
have been at work in experimenting
with devices for detecting the pres
ence of submarines. But they en-
countered only slight success. Mic
rophones of various patterns placed in
the water caused the detection of re-
volving submarine propellels several
miles distant-but so with the steam
er propellers and those of the battle
ships and cruisers, destroyers, motor
boats and other craft, not to men
tion the washing of the water against
the nearby shore and thousands of
other undesirable sounds. In the babel
of sound the original objective was
completely lost track of, hence the
aforesaid slight success.
At this stage of the experimenting
William Dubilier, an American cleo
trical engineer with numerous wire
less telephone and wireless telegraph
inventions to his credit, at that time in
France on the mission of installing
wireless telegraph apparatus on air
craft, was called upon to aid in the
solving Of the submarine detector
problem. Dubilier went to Cherbourg.
an important French port on the Eng
lish channel, where he found Prof.
Tissot of the French academy of
science hard at work on the detector
system.
1t is ovbious to anyone familiar with
electricity and sound waves that the
problem Of evolving successful
microphone system for detecting the
presence of submarines by noises Pc
culiar to these craft was most diff |
cult one. Yet. unless the obstacles
are actually met with, 1t is impossible |
to form an accurate conception Of the
great amount Of thought and lngenu-
ity that had to be enlisted in evolv-
ing a satisfactory apparatus.

7 HIS MAN WAS
CRUCIFI D To
SAVE HIS | IF {
IRON WORKER HSITW BRON,
I'm BACK CONSENTED TO
UNIQUE OPERATION

New York, Sept G.-For the firat
time in history man, instead of bear
ing a cross, is being borne by one.
This is the strange feature in the
case of Frank Henderson, %, an iron
worker, who broke his back recently
in fall from the sixth story Of q
building on which he was working.
He was taken to Bellevue Hospital,
where ii was found that he has only
one chance for life, and that was to
be "crucified."
Henderson consented to the cruel
fixion, which means that he is encas
ed in plaster cast nodded in the
form of a cross, The cast, the first OF
he sort ever used in the hospital, was
invented by DR. Frank Carr and is in
.ended to throw the weight of the
body support entirely on the arms in
stead of on Hendersons legt, which
are paralyzed.
How long Idenderson's crucifixion
will continue even DR. Carr could not
say today. 'It may be for weeks,
he said, but | believe Henderson
viii be cured.'
