Old Names For New Ships.
Cincinnati TimeS-Star.)


 Should congress provide for the construction of several battle cruisers the navy department will in all proba- bility name the new ships after sever nRl famous old frigates which helped 0<o make American history.
 The starting of a new class of ships in our navy makes possible the carry ing out of this idea. Under the pres ent system of naval nomenclature, battleships are named after states, cruisers after cities, and torpedo craft have been designated by useful, but not significant, letters and numerals. Communities, of course, have taken great interest in ships bearing their names, but, at the same time, the present rule has been responsible for the disappearance from the navy lists of many names which are alive With historic interest and the flavor or naval tradition.
 If the navy department puts 1nCo use the idea now under conslderatlon' Americans will in a few years glory in the spectacle of "Bonhomme Richard" "Constellation,' or may be "Hartford' once more going to sea under the flag. The famous old Constitution is stil carried, although nominally, on the naval lists. As long l as she will float, Americans will 1n- sist that she keep her honored place. But there are still left plenty of his l toric names which should be perpetu- ated and honored in our modern navy

classes now called to the colors, up to the class of 1916.
 The result of the women's work i'll gathering the crops IS told in off, clal reports of the Ministry of Agti- culture, which, although incomplete at this stage of the crops, shows n exceptionally good general condition The acreage in wheat has been only twelve per cent. less than last year, notwithstanding considerable section of farm land in northern France IS now overrun by the enemy. The acre age of rye is about the same as last year, and of oats little short or last year. The vineyards have fallen >ft somewhat, not through the women, but because of wet seasons and pest. This is offset by two exceptionally good crops, otatoes ad forage for horses and cattle. Both of these lat ter crops are of great advantage to the fighting forces, particularly the forage.
 So that, although this army of the women of France has fought the bat tie at home, planting and gathering the crops to keep the country sus- tained, while the other army has fought the battles at the front.

Sergeant Major James Deaver, United States marine corps, wealthi- est enlisted man in the united servi- ces, has been retired at Seattle after thirty years continuous service with Uncle Sam's sea soldiers, possessing real estate, stocks, bonds, mortgages and personal property valued at more than $1OO,000. Deaver had no capi- tai when he entered the marine corps in 1885 and has been dependent en- tirely on his pay as an enlisted man and his own efforts in the accumula- tion of wealth. He will continue to draw from the government about $70 a month retired pay for so long as he may live. By strict economy Dea- yer managed to save several thousand dollars in the first fourteen years with the marines, and when he was trans ferred to Seattle in 1899 wisely in vested his savings in Seattle realty when values were low. He sold his holdings several times and reinvested opportunely until his wealth passed the six figure mark. The wealthiest enlisted man resides with his wife and young son in their beautiful home at 4226 South Alki street, Se- attle, overlooking the waters of Pu- get sound.

Inquiry of the farm women brought
 out some interesting phases They
 have organized the worK much as the
 men did. The women workers are
 graded and paid, according to ability and position. Those in responsible
 places rake five and six francs a day,
 and more in the busy harvest season,
 besides board and keep. Women n
 common farm work rake from one
 franc centime (about thirty cents) up-
 ward, and much more during rush
 season. Young women between
 eighteen and twenty-f"'lr get the best |. wages and do the most work. Get
 ting enough women farm-hands has
 been difficult, but recruits have con
 from the women refugees from the
 devastated regions of northern France from Belgium and from Poland. The old men and the boys often earn less than the women and do less work.
 One novel phase developed by the innuiries was that the Army of Frahcc is largely an army of farmers f"i example. in the 1908 class the young men called to ~lors included l22'ofo farmers. or almr st as many as from ail other branches, including commerce This shows how the farmers are dolns the fighting, and how the farms nave been left to the women.

Our Chief Exports.

The complete detailed report of the
foreign commerce of the United States
for the month of April confirms the
Globe-Democrat's guess that muni.
tions of war comprised but a very
small part of the enormous increase
in exports. The dispatches have told
of enormous contracts for war muni-
tions accepted or rejected. These
may be true. But if they are COM
paratively few OF the contracts have
been filled. The exports for April
we're valued at s161 $3.50, or an
increase of s1O5, 5,225,s77 over the ex.
ports for April, 1914. Using round
The Delta independent., 1915-07-09

figures, the increased value of exports
was distributed as follows: Bread
stuffs $58,000,00O, cotton $4,000. 600.
leather and manufactures of leather
s7,OO0.000. meat products $4,000, 900,
chemicals 100000, automobiles over
$5,000O00, brass and manufactures of
brass nearly s3,O0O,OOO, and the wool
and manufactures of wool over a
million. The total value of explosives
exported in April was $6,076,SS3. The
value of cartridges was s2,64s,667, of
dynamite s147,2s9, of gunpowder s417,-
9l9, and of all other explosives 81
S63,O14. For the ten months period
ending April 80, the value of exports
of all explosives amounted to s21.-
163,O99 as against s5,471,247 for the
ten months ending April 80, 1914.
The increase in breadstuffs. in
leather manufactures, in automobiles.
in cotton and in brass manufactures
is all result of the demand caused
by the war. Some of the cotton and
some of the brass manufactures might
properly be classed as war munitions.
although it would be difficult to esti-
mate the percentage. The value of
horses exported during April was ST.
OSS.S11, while the value of mules was
$2.334,I44. The exported horses, it
will be observed, were valued at more
than all war munitions. There were
distinct losses in some articles of ex-
port. Agricultural implements, for ex-
ample. were in little demand in Eu-
rope. During the ten months coal and
coke exports showed a loss, but April
showed large increase. The same is
true of cotton and cotton manufac-
lures. While American prosperity is

most lines and is not confined to

chine guns and their ammunition can
beat back the charge of a very large
number of men armed with the best
rifles.
On the side of the attacking force
the machine gun does not play such
an important part, but where the prob
lem is largely that of quick-firing field
artillery and of the field howitzers that
are able to blow to pieces the strong
est Notifications from a distance of
several miles.
1t is because of the development of
these military machines that we have
the amazing situation that there are
available along the entrenched line
from the North sea to the Alps actu-
ally more soldiers than can be prof
itably used in defense of that line, and
indeed more soldiers than can be used
to advantage in attacking the en-
trenchments of the enemy
European generals have learned the
lesson that there is nothing to be
gained in hurting masses of infantry
against lines defended by machine
guns. Their demand from the gov
eminent is ever for more guns and
more ammunition, and upon the ability
to meet this demand rather than upon
the ability to send into the field fresh
armies of riflemen, depends the final
outcome of the great struggle.-Pueblo

Labor Not Commodity Bosses Cry Bosses

Neutrality-suspicious. the industrial
relations commission, last week,
President Gompers asserted that the
declaration placed in the Clayton
aw by Senator Cummings, the labor
of a human being is not commodity
or article of commerce." is a charter
of industrial freedom. Until this law
was passed, the courts, he said, had
treated labor both as commodity
and as an article of commerce.
The unionist declared it was upon
this theory that the United States SUI
preme court had found against
labor in the hatters' case, and to sup
port this claim he quoted speech
by former Attorney General Wicker
sham, who stated that had the Clay
ton law been in existence at the time
this case went to the court the de-
cision would have been different.
