The Old CAPITAL and the New.

No more dependable critics of a national
capital can be, found than intelligent, travelled
and sophisticated foreigners Through their
writings we "see ourselves as others see us"
If the Joint Select Committee of Congress will
read the history of the Capitals growth in the
writings of famed observers from abroad it need
go further in search of proof that the United
States government must either abandon the idea
of having a worthy Capital here or must con-
tribute literally in fixed proportion to its upkeep.
Few of US but have learned and loved lines from
the pen of Tom Moore, the great Irish poet But
how many of US know that National Capital
used but not supported by the nation-inspired
him to these lines:
This fam'd metropolis where fancy sees
Squares in morasses, obelisks in trees;
Which, second-Sighted seers, evn now, adorn
With shrines unbut and heroes yet unborn"
So much for Mr.. Moore. Perhaps we might
resent his structures had he not received strong
subsequent support in more serious view Charles
Dickens made few friends in America by virtue
Of his American Notes, but his statements netted
few successful contradictions, unpopular though
they were. This is how Washington looked to
him after forty-two years under paternal gov
eminent and a neglectful Congress:
at is sometimes called the City Of Magnificent
termed the City of Magnificent Attentions; for
it is only on taking brd's-eye view of it from
the top of the Capitol that can at all compre-
bend the vast designs of its protector aspiring
Neutrality-suspicious. avenues, that begin in moth
ing and lead nowhere; streets, mile-ong. that only
want houses, roads and inhabitants; public build
ings that need but public to be complete; and
ornaments of great thoroughfares which only lack
great thoroughfarcs to ornament-are its lead
ing features . :. To the admirers of cities it is
Barmecide feast; pleasant field for the nagi-
nation to rove in; monument raised to de-
ceased project, with not legibie inscription
to record its departed greatness"
b. Take these to portray the National Capital be-
fore the act of 1873 insured fixed proportion of
contribution by the Federal government; then
turn to Sir James Bryce, another Englishman,
who left behind him in this country nothing except
warm friends, admirers and pupils. In 1913, Mr..
Bryce, then British Ambassador to the United
States, said:
"All these considerations make one feel how
great are the opportunities here offered to you
for the further adornment and identification of
this city. Nature has done so much, and you
have, yourselves, already done so much that you
are called upon to do more. You have such a
chance offered to you here for building up al
superb Capital that it would be almost an act of

Increasing FOREIGN Trade.

Foreign trade is increasing enormously, mostly
on the export side In fact, virtually ali the ex-
pansion is there, and while the munitions ex-
ports cut large figure there is a great increase
of exports of other sorts. Exports to South
America and Asia Fave increased very much in
eight months Of this year over the same portion
of last year. OF the increased exports to Europe
nearly one-hah consists of breadstuffs Including
provisions and articles OF teaceful nature, though
undoubtedly designed for war service much more
than half the increase is of pacific commodities.

Santa Claus will leave for the Phil
ippines on the transport Thomas which
departs from San Francisco Friday.
This is the last transport th-t leaves for
the Philippines in time to reach Manila
before Christmas. The next transport
which will be the sherman. departs
from San Francisco Dec. 8, but does
not arrive at Manila until Jan. :.
For the past three or four weeks
those who have friends serving In the
army on the islands have been busy
with their Christmas stockings. The
presents. which will reach San Fran
cisco in time TO be shipped on the
transport left Washington a week
ago Under the policy of the War
Department any present for an officer
or enlisted man in the army or navy
will be sent free of charge on the
transport from San Francisco. Free
transportation of gifts on the army
transports is the annual Christmas
present which Uncle Sam gives to
those serving in the army ana navy
Presents from the Philippines to
army and navy officers and men must
be shipped from Manila Nov. is. to
reach San Francisco by Dec. Is. This
is too late to reach the Eastern part
of the United States by Christmas
eve. and most of the presents were
shipped from Manila on Oct. Is.
Reports received at the Quarternlas-
tiers Department from the depot quar-
termaster. San Francisco. indicate that
the Thomas will be unusually well
filled with Christmas cheer this year.
The gifts include everything from
jar of mothers jam, to pianos from
the old folks to the newly weds who
have recently gone to the islands.
Unless the American manufactures are
able to solve the dye problem II will be
necessary to change the color OF the
uniform of the United States army and
the National Guard. German dyes are
used in coloring the cloth of the present
uniforms and on account of the war the
manufacturers are unable to get any
dye stuffs from Europe. II Is under
stood that the American manufacturers
are developing some domestic dye stun
which will comply with the specifications
of the War Department
To provide against any shortage of
cloth for uniforms. the Quartermaster
General has been making experiments
with the new material which would not
require foreign dye stuff. This is to be
a notified brown and can be manufactur- |
ed by blending white and black wool. |
The same color can be produced in cotton |
goods by using a standard American
dye. The new cloth In the opinion of
army officers Is dressier than the pre- |
sent uniform and II can be obtained at
lower prices Experiments with II In |
dictate that II will outwesr the cloth In |
the uniform issued to the service at |
present.
