there is the whisper of traitorous infamy. The cards are all in the hands of the Chinese powers that be. They hate Dr.. sun Vat Sen and they probably fear him as well. The man who could marshal the forces o2 liberalism in an auto cracy that had been sOmnolent for centuries, and bring about a revolu- ton that in it's scOpt. radicalism and manner of achievement has no parallel in the history of men, is a man whose capabilities and pos abilities are not easily to be esti- mated. He deserted the place of power and therefore he is not q strong man, but there is the sus- picion that he has the young heart of China with him if opportunity shall offer whereby he can appeal 10 it and arouse it's enthusiasm.
 It were better to dau,h Dr. sun Yat Sen with infamy if tEat may be done. It were better to create the that he is Conniying with the adroit enemies oi China-Or if Lot enemies, at least those who are looking with covetoUs eyes and de- termiuei purpose Ou Chinese terri tory and opportunities.

HUGE EXPORTS IN MARCH

Early and necessarily mcom- rie,e figures show that the eN- ports Of merchandise last month were double the imports and 56 per cent more than the highest previous record for the same month Of the year. March, 1914, was surpassed by about 65 per cent.
 These changes in the foreign trade Of the United States are of unprecedented proportions. They show a balance in favor of this country which far exceeds any previous surplus of exports. The March margin was at the rate of about $l,920,O0O,00O q year If it were possible to maintain such sales Of American products to for vigu countries the exports ill a year would be oyer $3,S50, ,Jo0, ,ooo, lar surpassing the best record ever made by any country, and the sur
