Doubtless the forces were with
drawn to strengthen the defense
where the hostile armies are draw
ing together on the border of Greece
and Bulgaria. but nevertheless. it is
a serious blow to British prestige just
where she can least afford to have
it come. That prestige has upheld
her against mighty odds in India
and Egypt for 10, these many years
1t was to maintain it that Lord Rob
erts so insistently urged his country
men to prepare for the greater strug-
gle that was to come, through all
the years from the close of the BoeI
war up to the breaking out of the
present war.
The old reliance on the fleet led
England to reject his advice. but the
fleet is no longer infallible. This war
has taken on phases never dreamed
of before, and taken on new instru-
ments of destruction which, when a
little farther advanced, promise to
make future wars impossible because
their destructiveness will exceed the

Investigating our military and naval
establishments, reports that it costs
| $4,000 to train an officer at Annap-
oils, and 100000 to train one at West
Point, although Harvard and some
other big colleges educate a student
for about $2500.
In this case, as in many others, pri-
vate enterprise accomplished given
purpose far more effectively than the
government. Both West Point mad
Annapolis are excellent schools, per-
haps as good as any of their kind in
the world. But there is little doubt
of the needless extravaganza in their
equipment and administration. In no
other country is it so expensive to
train officers for the army and navy
Doubtless the expense could be re-
duced somewhat under present con-
ditions. 1t is likely, however, that
the most effective saving can be ac-
complished by using these education
al plants to greater capacity. The
buildings, grounds, mechanical equip
ment, instructing corps are already
there; the overhead charges are fair
ly stationary. If the number of
students could be doubled, the add
ed expense would be comparatively
little, and the cost per graduate
would be nearly cut in two. There
is sure to be demand for improve
ment in this direction. Tacoma Led

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, July 13, 1915.
A bumper tobacco crop is in sight in
New England. Rain has fallen in
superabundance during the past week,
but as yet the rainfall has not been so
excessive as to threaten deterioration
of the tobacco crop. No rain is needed
for two or three weeks and most of the
shaded crops would probably pull
through in good shape without another
drop of moisture. High temperature
when the sun has shone has caused to-
bacco to shoot upward and at present a
crop of heavy growth and fine quality
is in the making.
The wind which accompanied the rain
of last Thursday blew down hundreds
of acres Of tobacco but in most in
stances the damage will be limited to
the cost of the labor involved in setting
the plants up again.
Belated reports indicate that hail was
rather more general last month than
had been supposed. AS stated at the
time, however, the damage was slight
in most cases, owing TO the fact that
the plants were small. Where the hail
made a thorough job the crop was reset.
Early shaded tobacco is nearly ready
for the first printing.

NEW YORK. July II, 1911

NEW YORK, July II, 1915.
The local leaf market was furried
during the last two days, owing to re-
ports eminating from Connecticut re-
garding the severe damage done to leaf
in that territory by hailstorms. Both
the Havana Seed and Broadleaf sec
tions seem to have suffered. There has
been no way of telling, up to present
time, exactly how much damage was
done, but unquestionably the effect of
the bad news caused quite little anx-
iety to both the leaf trade and the cigar
industry. Both are relying pretty
heavily these days upon these types of
Connecticut tobacco. Otherwise, the
market has been plodding along in the
usual July fashion. Trading is evident
in all grades of tobacco, with Sumatra,
of course, in the lead. The impression,
which has been going the rounds, that
the cigar industry is reviving all along
the line, is stimulating the leaf merch-
ants. journal.

EDGERTON, WIS, July %, 1915.
Ten days of rainy weather right at
the busiest time of year is putting the
farmers behind with their work so that
the cultivation of the corn and tobacco
fields is quite likely to be neglected.
Too much wet weather is not good for
the tobacco crop is also evident for
there is disposition in some localities
for the crop to spindle before its time,
condition frequently due to dry wealth
er but seldom seen on soil overcharged
with moisture. 1t is believed, how
ever, that this trouble is not extensive
enough to interfere with the general
results, for most fields show a good,
healthy growth, and clearing weather,
which should now be due, and cultiva-
tion may be started again.
Aside from stemming there is very
little doing about the warehouses now.
A more hopeful feeling pervades the
manufacturing districts, which holders
of old leaf trust will open up demand
for cured stock, that has not been en-
joyed for some months past.
The shipments out of storage reach
only about 800 cases to all points since
last report.

LANCASTER, PA, July IA, 1915.
During the past week considerable
amount of replanting was made neces-
sary by recent hail storms, one of
which was particularly destructive in
southern Lancaster county. Many
growers fields were so whipped to
pieces that no crop was left, and in
some cases no attempt at replanting
was made. Just how many acres were
DESTROYED and how many damaged it
at least several hundred acres.
healthy plants in the beginning, gener-
Gus moisture and considerable warm
weather later, even if there were cold
davs, were about all that any grower
could ask for.
The Havana Seed fields appear to be
progressing most rapidly. This tobac-
co appears to have proven It's merits
pretty conclusively, although there are
many of the growers of the Broadleaf
who will have nothing to do with 1T.
Last season it was the first to ripen
and gave less trouble than the Broad
leaf. And when selling time came 1t
was the Havana Seed that brought the
pest prices. 11dN1IlS AlPCHCO CoAlJ II
had less of the long dry spell to go
through in the curing process than the
late ripened tobacco. In spite of all
this it may be doubted whether any
more Havana was planted this year
than last.
The local cigar manufacturers are
still smiling, and while they say busi-
ness could be much better, they have
no kick. The local leaf dealers report
somewhat better trade, as is to be ex-
pected from the stiffening of the cigar
business. The past week no big trans
actions have been reported, nor are
any looked for, because just at present
packers are content if their aggregate
of job lot sales tally up decent living
business. Some few country dealers
have sold their 1911 packings to city
dealers, the prices named being IA
cents 1t is to be regretted that the
1914 is showing so much black rot.
Some of the packers have been clean
ing their tobacco and finding so much
much black rot that they are repacking
their goods. Of course, this is not the
case with all, but it is the case with too
many. It knocks all prospective profits.
