1t grew out of the fact that vcePresident Marshall was going to san raj
cisco to represent President Wilson at the PanamaPacinc exposluon. when
the president arranged for himself to be represented in this manner and
plans we're made for the vicepreident to be received on board the NOR
cruiser Colorado, the flagship of Admiral Howard, 1t occurred TO secretary
Daniels that a more fitting reception in the attendant ceremonies noulo %
accorded him than those previously prescribed. Hence the new nag.
This new flag has now been permanently prescribed for the Vcepres-
ident in the future and will hereafter be displayed on ships OF tn wy
whenever the vcepresident is o n board.
The ceremonies attending a visit of the president to a ship OF the navy
include the manning of the rail by the crew, hosting his flag and hrng a
salute of 81 guns upon his arrival, and hauling down his flag and n1lng
a second salute upon his departure from the ship. The honors given TN
vicepresdent we're formerly the same las those given the president, ex'
cept. that the rail as not manned by the crew and the salute OF IL guns
was given only upon his departure, and the natlonal coors were us
played during the salute.

ancial loss to the owner and the possibility of fine for the offender. the fact remains that Americans are altogether too careless about the waste of wood Its extensive use will undoubtedly continue until scare ity raises the price to a prohibitive figure, when substitutes will be de- manded and used.
 Conservation now would insure a supply longer and would make the price reasonable for more years than the methods of waste so common. One of the most wasteful things in the world is a forest fire because 1t not only prevents the use of the wood as it stands, but it takes away in a few moments what has taken nature years to produce. This serious aa- pect of the destructfulness of fire in woodland should lead every user of fire, whether it be match to light a pipe or cigar, or campfire, to be extremely cautious to see that no dry leaf is kindled and that no coals are allowed to smolder. Take no chances. kill" the campfire with earth or water before leaving and see that every lighted match is extinguished before moving on. These things take little time, but prevent the costly fires that have from time to time marked sections of Connecticut.

Wilson's Open Mind. Waterbury American,)

President Wilson has started a tariff inquiry. He has asked the Commerce Department and tho Fed eral Tra.ie Commission. the commits sion which oNc.lttks and advises
 manufacturers tr study the probable effects on American commerce of Flu ropean competition when the war is over and report the facts to him. We are very glad that President Wilson has taken this course He is a man so persistently consistent as seldom to be willing to modify any policy to which he has once been committed. Whatever his party's tariff would have been had condi- tons remained normal after it went into effect, there is small question now that it will only prove most dis astrous to American business when the war is over. All the countries now at war will start in to get back their trade as rapidly as possible and will cut prices to the lowest possible figure. As a result there will be tremendous dumping of the cheapest made products here in America, the effect of which can only be to check business and to close many factories.
 What is needed are facts as nearly as they can be anticipated. These the President proposes to secure. The war has made such conditions that. without repudiating the principles of the Underwood tariff. the President can modify that tariff very substan- tially. He might almost return to the policy of Republican protection and escape the name of doing so. If he looks at the subject with an open mind, this will be undoubtedly what he will do. ...

The PeT'ils in Gasoline. (BridgepOrt Farmer

Civilization commands many power full agents to it's service. These ser wants are usually we'll behaved, but sometimes they run amuck with terrible consequences.
 The latest example of useful com- modity: turned wild occurs in Ard more, Oklahoma, where the gases arising from a tank car of gasoline exploded with tremendous effect, the fire from the flowing gasoline causing an extensive conf1agration.
 Gasoline becomes an explosive when it is mingled with air in a per centage of about eight to one. The results at Ardmore could have been produced only by a large quantity of gas ..
 When the mixture is correct, a spark will fire it, on principles fam iliar to every driver of an automobile.
 The moral is of the necessity of care in handling all such materials. Those who use gasoline become familiar with it and neglectful of, precaution.
 Even it's use for cleaning purposes CT as a means of destroying vermin has been attended with fatalities. Every newspaper reports during the year deaths from gasoline explosions, where the material has been vapor- ized in somebody's dwelling, and the spark unconsciously applied.

What Britain Has Done.
(wall Street Journal.)


 What has Great Britain done? Her navy, her financial credit, and a small expeditionary army were all that were asked by the Allies. They would have been entirely contented with these, but Great Britain gave infinitely more. Her navy wiped the German menace from the seas. It locked up the vaunted German navy, which, with out Great Britain's par ticipation, could have battered France into submission in a fortnight. It has removed the submarine peril far more effectively than any of the wordy admonitions of Washington.
 But instead of her first expedition ary army, which totalled 180,000 men instead of 125, ,O00 expected, she has placed upward of 100000 men in field without counting the colonial and Indian troops, and has 2,000, 900 more in readiness. The relatively small length of her line in northern France is quoted. But 1t is curious to hear from German sources of cap- tured Highlanders in Alsace. Rela- tivel, to all the others, Irish, Cana dian, Australian, New Zealand and Indian, the proportion of Great Brit ain in this contribution is overwhelm- ing. a
 But her service, in this instance voluntary, merely begins here. She is the principal guarantor for a credit here of $1.00O, 100000. But she has lent already to her allies Russia, Italy Serbia even Roumania more than 00,000,000. This is twice the credit we are extending, mainly for the benefit of our own commerce with our best customers. What has Great Britain done? What hasn't she dony?
 She has conquered every German colony, with the single exception of the Cameroons, now starving itself into impotence. By her enlightened system of colonial government tho Boers have wiped out the German colony in Southwest Africa, the French Canadians are fighting on the Belgian frontier, the Irish are, char acteristically, fighting in the thickest of the fray, and the supposed sedi- tious Eindoos and Mohamm edans are cleaning up all the German political gains in Turkish Asia. And there is more than this.
 If it were not for the British mas tery of the seas, where would our own export trade be? Even with an un- certainty on the ocean, the trade which our shortsighted politicians grudge to the allies because Germany is in no position to receive it, would not exist at all. To leave out of the argument the inviolability of treat ies and rights of neutral and peaceful nations, all moral issues involved, on plain question of advantage to our present and future interests, can wc ask ourselves, with any show of consistency or plausibility
