DESERVE FULL PUNISHMENT.

Following the many attempts which
have been made to destroy ships leav-
ing these shores for Europe by means
of bombs placed therein within the
past few months, and the frequent ex-
plosions which have taken place in
ammunition plants, the arrest Of Fay,
Scholz and Daesche, the first of whom
claims to be lieutenant in the Ger
man army points to- the confirmation
of the belief that well organized
conspiracy exists in this country for
the Gripping of shipping and indus
tries without regard for the neutrality
of this country or the loss of property
and life that is involved.

together with other evidence found in

of cotton yarn by the cotton spinning

conditions which affected all countries

LESSON TO PITTsBuRe.

Appalling are the stories which
come from different sections of the
country from time to time where there
are large losses of life because of
fire. In large percentage of the cases
this is due to the lack of precaution,
the failure to pay sufficient attention
to tho telling work that could be
dope in the way of prevention and
the lack of the proper facilities for es-
cape. What happened in Pittsburg is
very similar 20 that which occurred
in n tenement house in New York only
O few days previous and in a general
way q repetition of cases throughout
the country
The fact that there was a feed store
on the ground floor of the four story
building in Pittsburg, where highly in.
hammablc material could be expected
to be and furnish the means for z
quick and disastrous fire was SUN
Client reason for taking every precau.
ton against a fire and at the sam,
time equipping the building with ade
quate fire escape facilities. That girl,
were forced to jump and others fount
doors shut against them with no othe
way of getting out recalls similar fea
lures in the Triangle shirtwaist fac
tory In the metropolis few years age
That the Pittsburg loss of life was no
greater than twelve is the only aston
ishing fact under the circumstance.
for where conditions which PREVAILS
there are permitted little else can b
expected. 1t Is too much to expec
the firemen to overcom tn
hangers of such death trap.
and too late to attempt remed
after fire breaks out. It is possibl
that Pittsburg has been taught a les
son in this regard even though 1t wa
costly one.

JAPAN,s COTTON INDUSTRY.

Japan Is fully alive to the opportu-
mites which are offered it as the re-
suit Of the war and it is taking advan-
tage Of them in certain lines at least.
It wasn't many years ago that this
country had a big cotton trade with
China. That market is being supplied
today to a large extent by the goods
manufactured in Japan.
That it will be still further increased
is indicated by the fact that the pur-
chase Of raw cotton in this country by
Japan has increased by s6,0OO.0 900 dur
ing this year, which means that while
Japan was doing a good business in
that line 1t is preparing to do even
more. According to a report from
an American consul there was q Ia

MISS cAvELL A MARTYR.

It is probably apparent to Berlin
by this time that the shooting of Miss
Cavell, the British nurse, in Belgium,
has brought about conditions which
were not anticipated. According to the
effort Of the under secretary of foreign
affairs in Germany her execution was
necessary for the maintenance Of the
rules of war. 1t was considered neces-
sary that there should be lesson
given to the women Of Belgium which
would cause any others who were en-
gagged in such work to understand
that such penalty awaited them il
they persisted.
1t is one of the cases where Ger
many must by this time realize that
its adherence to such harsh measures
is bound to react and that while II
has succeeded In setting forth the les
son which it considered so necessary
it has at the same time made mar
tyr of the woman who was labofins
in Belgium in the cause Of humanity
and that martyrdom is worse than
the condition which they sought to
overcome, or which could have been
relieved more satisfactorily by inpris-
onment instead OF by taking her life
The killing of Edith sCaveH Is not CO.
ing to be forgotten any more than will
be the German idea that that country
had a right to set up its own rules Of
war and revise international law wfler

GOVERNMENT RAlLRoA6 RATES

1t is well known fact that this
government now owns and operates
the railroad across the Isthmus Of
Panama which formerly handled the
business before the canal was opened.
There has been. little use for the line
except local traffic, and that connected
with the work on the canal since the
waterway was opened, but the sudden
closing of the canal by the slides gave
it an increased amount Of business In
transferring cargoes from one coast
to the other much the same as II
used to do in the days gone by.
A fiat rate OF SO ton was fixed
for the hauling Of such freight. .bu,
that has now been changed to 50 q
ton and in view Of this substantial
increase which far exceeds the rate
which prevailed before the canal was
opened, 1t is not surprising that a
remonstrance has been filed with the
government against such action. It Is
even claimed by President Luckenbaci
Of the steamship company which bears
his name that IL there is no modiflca-
ton it means that his company mus
