THE BRITISH REPLY.

i There Is no surprise in the British reply received at Washington. to the state departments note last December protesting against veXations interfer- ence with American commerce by British warships IL might have been written by any one, anywhere at any time, so obvious are the positions taken and the line of argument
 Great Britain has been fortunate in the progress of events since the Amer ican protest was filed The recent course of Germany gives a new sisni- flcance to every point made in the reply Besides the whole field Of in terest has been altered and public ir- ritation in the United States is no longer acute over British interference with our commerce in the past It has shifted to threatened German outlages on our ships in the future For this change in public sentiment to her dis advantage Germany has only herself to blame.
 The British pleas are in effect two .1D That England has done no act regarding our ships which was not forced on her by the exigencies and justified by the well ascertained laws of war. @ That nothing she has done has caused tangible injury to Ameri- can interests. Both contentious are advanced with great good temper and urbanity of phrase It would be foolish to say that strong prima faeie case had not been made out on both heads, American acts and claims in former wars and American evidence as to pre- sent conditions being freely used 10 back up the British position
 Naturally this is not q last word It furnishes no reason why the United States government shall not exercise the most watchful care over the in- terests of the national flag and the ships it covers Equally 1t estops in no way proceedings for redress and compensation for wrongs already com mitted. But it takes the controversy out of the area of superheat and stormy talk. England makes no sweeping promises, but she displays an unmistakable desire to go as farl

It is asserted that the recent experiment, whereby l Now York and San Francisco were placed in communication, developed beyond the preadyenture of a doubt that communication can be maintained with the same ease as is possible inl merely telephoning across the street The voices were as easily distinguish able as is usually the case in the more common forms of telephonic communi- cation, and a remarkable clarity inl tone and expression was also noted.

lluTERACY AMONG THE
INDIANS DECREASING
Census Figures Show a Lower
Rate OF Growth Than
Whites, However.

A much lower rate of growth for
the Indian population than for the
white; an increasing admixture OF
white blood; decreasing vitality of
full-blood Indians, indicating ten
deney to disappear altogether; in
creasing attendance at school and
decreasing illiteracy; an increase in
the percentage of the self-support-
ing; decrease in the number or res
ervation Indians-these are some OF
the salient facts set forth in the
special report on the Indian popula-
ton of the United States and Alas
Ea. soon to be issued by the Bureau
of the Census, Department of Com
merce. This report brings together
all the principal statistics relating
to the Indian population which
were collected at the last census.
The Indian population of the
United States, exclusive of Alaska
and the insular possessions, in 1910
vas 265,6S3, representing an in
crease of per cent, over the num-
Der reported in 1890, when the Cen
sus Bureau made it's first enumera-
ton of Indians. Thus at the last
census the only Americans whose
native ancestry extends further back
than a century or two-or three at
the utmost-constitute less than
three-tenths of l per cent. of the
entire population of the country.
The occupations in which Indians
are engaged are diversified in char
aeter, ranging all the way from I'M
skilled labor to some of the highest
proprietary, official. professional and
skilled pursuits. Among the Indian
population are found manufacturers,
bankers, United States officials, me-
chanical engineers, locomotive en-
gineers, telegraph operators, actors
artists, clergymen, college profes-
sors, physicians, surgeons and law
yers. The great mass of the Indian
workers in the United States, how
ever, are engaged in comparatively
small number of occupations. In
fact, S5.4 per cent, of the total num-
Der of gainfully employed Indians
were found in seven occupation
groups: Agricultural laborers, 35.5
per cent; farmers and stock raisers
1872 per cent; lumbermen, raftsmen
and woodchoppers, "a per cent; Ia
borers in manufacturing and trans
portation, 6.3 per cent; basket max
ers and weavers, IA per cent; laun-
derers and laundresses, 1.9 per cent.
and servants and walters, 2.6 per
cent Washington Star.

@ OIL WELLS. Q
O O O o O o o o o O o @ o o o Q
(By George Fitch.)

An oil well is hole in the ground
ab,ut aquarter of mile deep, into
which a man may put small for
tune or out of which he may take a
big one. And he never knows. until
the hole is finished.
Nothing is as noncommittal as an
oil we'll that isn't finished. A sphinx
is garrulous beside IL. But when II
is finished it either goes on being
quieter than ever or 1t begins spout
ing automobiles, trips to Europe and
large, knobby mansions in New
York.
II takes a couple of thousand dol
lars, several months and a couple of
noncommittal men in mud-plastered
overalls to dig an oil we'll. They be-
gin by going up about sixty feet.
When they have finished their der
rick they hang drill in it. This
drill weighs half ton and is as
large as the one which the dentist
uses on a red-hot wisdom tooth.
Then the men hitch the drill to an
engine and punch a forty-two-centi-
meter hole in the earth's crust.
Sometimes, after they have been
p Lching away for several weeks,
the hole blows the derrick into the
sky, utterly running It. Then the
owner shrieks with glee and employs
500 men to catch the spouting oil
in barrels. But sometimes the der
rick is as good as new when the hole
is finished. Then the owner curses
and takes the derrick away to some
other place which smells oily.
An oil well with its fancy work on
top cutters up the landscape good
deal, but nobody seems to mind. In
Cleveland, o., some of the finest res
licences in the city are defaced by
we'll derricks in their back yards, but
the owner of the house does not tear
his hair and mourn because his GU
cumber vines are getting trampled
on. He merely sings a low, sweet
song on the first of each month and
goes down to the safe deposit vault
to cut coupons. We would enjoy be-
ing a rich man and having an oil
well invade our back yard. We
would even consent to be very poor
man If an oil we'll would come and
deface our asparagus bed and fill
our cellar full of petroleum and our
sock full Of new $40 gold pieces.
An industrious oil well is one of
the pleasantest companions on earth
even If IL does gum up the surround
ings a little. 1t is one of the few
things OF earth which finds warm
welcome anywhere.

her where she had been.
