DYE SUPPLY DISCUSSED
 BY U. S. MANUFACTURERS

When the representatives of the principal textile interests of the coun- try met in Boston few days ago, the main subject for their considera- ton was the prohibitive price Of coal tar dyes. and a discussion of the ways and means to meet @ situation that has advanced aniline oil from n cents a pound to s175 a pound. with none to be had at even that prohibitive figure.
 It is generally agreed among cotton. woolen and silk manufacturers that the cessation of hostilities will bring comparatively little relief in a reduc- ton of price. even if all the chemical works resume industrial operation and cease to supply war material.
 Germany's chemical works are geo graphically so situated that they em- brace within an area of 300 square miles all the essentials for the pro- duction of coal tar dyes. In America the essentials are so widely scattered that transshipment adds greatly to the cost of production. Germany gets at least 25 per cent of the coal tar she uses in the chemical industry free from England. where coal tar dyeing originated in 1867 by Dr. Perkin.
 Government Obstacles
 "One of the most serious obstacles in the way of dye manufacture in this country" stated a prominent man ufacturer turing the course of this meeting. 'is the Encouragement i'm posed by onerous government regula- tion Combinations that are lawful in Germany and which are fostered there would be a violation of the Sher- man Law of the United States. But with all this we are getting ready to go into the business. because we are forced to as a measure of selfpreser- vation.

Launched recently by the Japan Chris

Salvation Army has also Joined.
The object is to exclude 'geisha" or

coronation, and to urge the authorities
to exercise strict control over matters
detrimental to public morals.
In this connection the Purity society
will publish the views of eighty repre-

reformers. A pamphlet will be dis
tributed to the officials of the govern
ment, the members of both houses of
the Diet, the mayors throughout the
country and other representative per-
sons. Mr.. Shimada himself will lead
the movement and will try to enlist
the support of Premier Count Okuma
and the authorities of the departments
of home affairs and education.

island in 1915 and the original capital,
Caparra, was abandoned for the mod

the city and the corsair crews from
England and France under the COM

Bonnet stormed the fort several times
unSucceSSfully, with a view to lOOting
the city. For there were thousands
of pounds of gold in San Juan shipped
over from Peru.
Things drifted along pretty quietly
in the eighteenth century, there being
only four massed attacks on the island
in 1902. 1903. 1743 and 1877.
All this time the island was occupied by
lazy, indolent whites who were outnumbered
When revolutions became popular Porto
Rico had one, but was properly sQuelched
in 1920. The conditions of America under
Spanish rule in the nineteenth century have
crumbling, the Jungles had grown up
around the ancient Qualifications the very
cannon protecting the cities were three
hundred years old, and the southland was
isolated and out of the way of the world.
Taking Porto Rico by the Americans In
1898 was an easy job. They landed 34O0
troops in July and seized San Juan. The
troops advanced in our columns acress the
island, capturing everything only losing
three men and 4S wounded
Today Porto Rico is governed according
to the provisions of the Foraker act. While
the island is supposed to be Catholic, the
natives have been allowed to grow up in

SONG RESTORED MIND
Shell Shock Blanlxed Reason; "Moth-
er Machree" Brought Recovery.

London. Nov. 6.-The word moth
err which saves lives and spares the
honor of innocents in the melodrama,
has actually restored reason to a SOL
der in France, whose mind had been
left blank by shell shock.
A concert party had gone over from
England to cheer up the sick, and one
of their number, a well known tenor,
sang the old favorite, Mother Ma
chree.'' Among the audience was a
nerve-shattered soldier who came out
of a bombardment not only blind but
almost an idiot. He could understand
nothing, babbled meaninglessly and
had to be treated like an infant He
was still blind when taken to the con-
cert The word mother" required in
the song and the soldier caught at it
When the song was finished, he was
still muttering the word to himself.
But it proved the key to his memory.
He began to recall detached incidents
about himself and later recovered
both his mind and his sight
Singers visiting the hospitals say

chief secretary for Ireland quarter
of a century ago, it has been fOstered
by all subsequent governments and has
done a vast amount of useful service
in improving the condition of the peo-
pie of the west. The popularity or
these poverty-stricken communities is
that the country is greatly OVer-popu-
lated where the land is rocky, bad and
unproductive, and much under-popu-
lated in the immediate neighborhood
where there are great tracts or grazing
land.
The board has power to buy land
whether tenanted or untenanted and
to distribute it in allotmentS to the
people. They can acquire this land
compulsorily where necessary, and I'M
der these powers have, after long
fight, succeeded in ex-propriating the
Marquis of Clanricarde, whose estate
near Loughrea was for a generation
one of the hottest of storm centers
in the land war. Within the past five
years they have bought 672 estates of
1.6SO,7S3 acres at a total price of over
$3O,00O,000, and there is great deal
more land that they might usefully
buy and resettle. By direction of the
treasury. in consequence of the war,
these purchases have now been sus-
pended.
The board, besides it's agricultural
work, does a great deal for the pro-
motion of cottage industries. This too
has been seriously hit by the war.
Last year attention was called to
falling off in the earnings of the
boards lace and crochet classes due
partly to the competition of Austria
which had started to make Irish
lace" and partly to the dullness in the
American market. The outbreak of
the war led to economies in dress.
Lace was a luxury banned by savings
committees, and the workers of the
west suffered for it. The earnings of
the lace makers which had been close
on thirty thousand pounds 50,000
year fell to eleven thousand. Thirty
three lace classes had to be closed
down and the earnings Of the women
employed came to an end. A few of
them have fortunately been able to
obtain employment as knitters for the
war office. In some districts the
amount earned by the women had ex-
ceeded the total rent roll, and out of
their savings it was possible in numer-
Gus instances to buy stock for the land
and provide capital to improve per-
manently the condition of these little
farms, as we'll as to secure fuller
supply of milk for the children. The
board is doing its best to furnish
other revenues of employment, but SO
far their efforts are merely expert
mental. These bleak western coasts
are, as the inhabitants call them, the
last land in Europe and the nearest
parishes to America, but the world
war has found them out.

IT is AN OLD SYSTEM
Quota Enlistment Used in England in
Ancient Times.

London, Nov. 6.-The quota system
which Lord Kitchener is said to advo-
cate as a compromise between the
present voluntary enlistment system
and CONSUMPTION is a historic method
of raising troops, for 1t existed in Eng
land from Saxon times down to the
year 1892. 1t is now merely suspend
cd, not dead.
By the quota system, Great Britain
would be divided into military dis
tricts, each of which is required to
send its quota of a required number
Of recruits. 1t is a form of compul-
sion, but a democratic form that stood
the test of eight centuries. Its spec
ia1 merits are its appeal to local pa
triotism and its civil control. Each To-
caltty has the power to enforce en-
lstment If other means fail; but a
large number of additional voluntary
recruits will be found just because the
affair is managed by the civil auth
critics and the appeal is more person
al and less emotional than by the mil
itary recruiting with their bands and
speech-making actors.
There are many statutes on the
English books relating to the quota
system, which can be enforced at any
time by an order of the privy council
with the approval of parliament. Some
changes were made from the old
methods in 1857 when the various
their quota among the various par
ishes where the men, in case of neceS-
sity, were to be chosen by ballot. This
law placed the age of service from IS
to 80 years, exempting all men with
more than one child born in wedlock.
Forces for the Napoleonic wars were
thus raised. In 1882 the old militia
passed from the control of the coun-
ties to the war office, and the system
of district selection was allowed to
lapse
