Philippine Trade
Suffers Heavily
War Has Depressing Effect on
Imports, Particularly on
Cotton Cloth.

The foreign trade of the Philippine
Islands suffered heavily in the calen-
dar year 1914 from the effects or hu-
rope big war, according to state
ment issued by the Bureau OF lnsular
Affairs today. Imports decreased A'-
724. .l33 from 1918, and exports showed
an increase of but s9l6,67S. The start OF
the trade year for the philippines was
auspicious, but conditions reversed
themselves with the declaration OF hos
tilities.
The reduction in imports fell princi-
pally on cotton cloth and the iron and
steel trade. The United states furnlsh-
ed three-uuarters OF all of the imports.
and the philippines afforded the great
est market Of the world for American
cotton during the dark days OF the
early fall when the cotton market had
sagged TO the lowest ebb.
Imports of iron and steel showed a
great gain for the first months or the
year, but declined with the war decia-
rations. The importsSof sugar refln-
ing machinery fell off. conditions being
affected by the prospect of free sugar
in the United states. and the small pro-
ductiOn in the islands.

THE POLITICS OF RUSSIA'S
SIMPLIFIED SPELLING

1t is with a mixture of satisfaction
and concern that we note the con-
version of Przemysl into Peremysl
by it's Russian captors. In the alb
sence of rhyme and reason in the
arrangement of consonants the only
way to remember the pronunciation
of a Russian or Polish name is to
associate it with an English phonetic
equivalent. But to hook up anything
that begins Prz with "chemise" is
a task of memory. Do what one will
to counteract the impulse, the mind
insists on working in the purr sound.
But there is another, more serious,
side of the question. Poland, by all
that has been said, is to come out of
this war rehabilitated. She is to
have her own schools, her own gov
ernment, her own language-pre-
sumably her own geography. We
have before us Polish map of Rus
sian Poland, which bears a legend
that the names are spelt in the man
ner officially accepted, even in these
days of repression, by Russia. We
note on it Przedecz, Przesmyki,
Przysucha, Przasnycz, Przedborsc,
and some few others which, for the
proofreader's sake, we will pass
over.
But this is not all. If there is any
one city dear to the Poles, it is War
saw. If there is any one building
dear to the Poles, it is the Hotel de
PEurope, the scene of revolutionary
conference and deed in Warsaw. If
there is any one street dear to the
Poles, it is the street on which that
hotel stands, the Krakowski Pred
miesce. What Warsaw or Poland or
Polish government or history would
be without it we do not know; but
certainly no Pole can note with un-
concern a tendency which may lead
to the remaining with a per the
swishy Shameezy, about which all
his memories of gore and his dreams
of cafe life have so long centered.
Polish autonomy without full liberty
for the Prz would be a beggarly un-
welcome gift indeed.
The Washington times., 1915-03-26

successfully enough, but they were
all ready to harvest at the same time
and the poor farmer found himself
unable to attend to them all.
Highly welcome, too, is Mr.. Vroo-
mans contention that research work
by the department experts should be
given fullest publicity at all stages
of the process. This, of course, is
not the scientific viewpoint. Scien-
lists more often prefer to keep their
findings to themselves until they
have completed every phase of the
work. But for practical purposes a
theory often does not need an exact
scientific demonstration. And Mr..
Vrooman points to results of valu-
able research work lying in pigeon
holes of the department because
these experiments had not been
worked out to their fullest extent.
Such sane, practical effort to cor
relate the work of the department
with the farmers problems is bound
to have a wholesome economic ef-
feet,

TAG DAY.

: If you came face to face with a
half starved, poorly fed, thinly clad
baby, badly in need of food and care,
you would empty your pockets of
change to give it immediate aid.
A.. That is just what the women who
ore working for the Day Nursery
and Dispensary will ask you to do
tomorrow, set for the tag day cam
r1aign of that organization. Perhaps
You have no imagination, per.$ ps
you can't imagine the scores Of
babies in just that condition, await
itg the transformation of your
quarters, and dimes, and nickels, by
spme modern magic, into clean milk,
warm clothes, and intelligent care.
Out such babies exist and perhaps
MY of the many women who will
ilelp in the collection tomorrow will
be glad to prove that to you if you
ioubt it.
No more direct and worthy charity
exists in Washington than this asso-
ciation. None is more apt to touch
the hearts, and the purses, than this
appeal, not from the women workers,
bpt from these babies themselves.

Health is better than wealth Most
diseases of human beings are caused or

why don't you follow Germany's ex-
ample? Even IL you do live in an apart
ment that is no excuse for not cleaning.
LOOK In the clothes closet, for there
know KNOW you will find moths and dust.
WINE you are on the back porch, glance
uoWn INTO the areaway and see if the
sarpaBe CANS are covered and IL the

can Don't leave 1t for the janitor. On
your way to and from school keep
your eyes open for peelings, which will
draw disease and flies Don't pass a
tin can without disposing of it in some
way or other. You despise being sick,
because ] know l do. 1t is especially
around the vacation when most sick
ness occurs. Not because it.is warm,
but on account of filth. Another name
for filth Is flies and mosquitoes. If water
is allowed to remain in a tin can It can
draw enough mosquitoes to give ten
people malaria and scarlet fever.
If every school child should do one

INTOLERABLE DANDYISM,

Maryland long has been proud of
her "Dandy Fifth" a regiment of
the National Guard, but the designa-
ION has been cherished for reasons
other than that which bars a barber
from receiving a commission in the
organization. The Fifth is under
fire now because the selection
by Company I of Sergeant Jones for
the lieutenancy has been repudiated
by the regiments officers. Jones is
a. barber, and his promotion is op-
pissed for social reasons. 1t is
charged also that the officers reject
ed two other men selected for ad-
vancement, one because he was con-
nected with a restaurant owned by
his father, and the other on the
ground that he ''lived in East Bal
timore."
The case of the barber has created
4, stir in Maryland and promises to
1amage the reputation of the Dandy
tifth. Friends of the barber threat
en- to resign from the regiment,
While it is reported that members
Of Company I may be hauled before
u. court-martial on charges of in
S4bordination and conduct unbecom-
ing members of the Maryland Ma
tiPnal Guard. The commanding
colonel, it is said, refuses to order
ar election in the company until
tones shall have been eliminated.
"A wrong spirit possesses the off,
GERS of the Dandy Fifth. The Ma
tional Guard exists not as an in
Stitution for sunburst display and
social pleasures, but for the most
grim business of war, and if the
members are fit it makes little diff
ference whether they are BARRIERS or
bankers. If men are denied recog-
milton and equality in the Govern
ment's service in time of peace
merely because they happen to oc-
@upy the humber positions in life,
hey have sound reason in time of
war to refuse to fight for the coun-
Try which withheld democracy from
them. 1t would be better for a mill
ia regiment to disband than for an
'ntolerant spirit controlling it to tri-
umph, not, either, because the coun-
sry might lose a Murat, but because
such spirit does violence to the
very chief of American ideals and
traditions.
The Washington times., 1915-03-26
GENERAL FRENCH CONFIDENT.

Field Marshal Sir John French, in
command of the British forces on
the Continent, now speaks of the
wars future in marked contrast with
his governments utterances of few
months ago.
Not that anybody competent to
voice the opinion of the British
army, from Kitchener down. ever
admitted the possibility of ultimate
defeat. But the unanimous word,
even after the German onslaught
had been beaten back from the
gates of Paris, was that the allies
must stand prepared to undergo an
unspeakable ordeal through a war
to last perhaps three years; that
the United Kingdom must send the
best of it's manhood in untold num-
bers to the battle front; that those
left at home must make such sacri-
fees as their race never before had
been called upon to make.
Always, until within very recent
weeks, the stern warning was of a
long conflict, with the war, in the
language of Kitchener, merely to
begin in the spring-this spring now
dawning over the vast battlefields of
Europe, east and west.
And now the field marshal tells
the world, not through an official re-
port, but through the newspapers,
that there will come an early end of
the war; that the allies are incom-
parably stronger, their enemy in
comparably weaker, than even back
in September, when the thunderbolt
from Berlin was stopped and then
thrust away.
Sir John French must be very
confident to talk as he now does
Nobody, whatever he may think of
Englishmen, after they have achiev-
ed success, will say that they are
given to empty boasting about what
they are going to do. Steady in de.
feat and cool in victory, they are
likely to say less than they think
and to do more than they say.
But Sir John French tells the
world, with ringing confidence thai
the allies at last have the upper
hand of the magnificent troops with
which they have been deadlockec
for months, and that they are abou
to press their advantage to the limit

RICHLY DESERVED PUNISHMENT

When election frauds as wide
spread as those which have devel-
oped in Terre Haute, Ind, are dis
closed, the whole country is scandal
lied. Every decent citizen recog-
nizes that government by ballot is
sheer mockery when political bosses
and their henchmen are permitted to
run elections with so high a hand.
But it should not need fraud by
wholesale to bring about a demand
for punishment of an assault upon
the integrity Of the ballot box. There
should be in every community detes-
tation of this particular crime so
deep and so lasting that perpetra-
tors of it will understand that when
they engage in padding registration
books or in persuading the weak and
vicious to stuff ballot boxes they do
SO at their peril.
The sentence of a year in Jail by
Judge Bond, of Maryland, of one of
the men convicted of conspiring to
secure illegal registration in Anne
Arundel county is gratifying evil
dence that in that State that sort of
business can no longer be pursued
with impunity. 1t is a wholesome
lesson, and the people of Maryland
should be grateful to the States at
torney's Office for the way it has
handled the case. They should be
grateful to Judge Bond for refusing
the plea to minimize the punishment
1t remains now to prosecute vigor.

dirty game and make an example OF

The Germans are masters OF new
tricks, or of adapting old tricks to new
purposes. but their hand-grenade stunt

great American ball players.
The nd-grenade Is about the size OF

ounces more. 1t had four little buttons

these bombs like school girls, or like
boys pitching nickels at a crack. and
all us Americans used to watch the IN
efficiency OF the bomb in such untrain-
ed hands We were considered the best
bomb throwers of all. because we pitch
ed them with force. A man with the
aim of trained pitcher could have
worked havoc with them. He could have
kerr battering away at trench-and
the German l'ne was only forty-five
feet away from ours--until he had worn
out the trench with repeated explosions.
