Naming the Pictures.
(NeW York Sun).

When the unexpected triumph of the cinenatograph went around the civilized world and brought into the languages several new terms, it was our own speech that fared the worst. Tle continental nations gained a short , or a melodious word for the new science, while such an unmanageable mouthful as moving pictures" was the best that the English language could do Of course, popular usage soon abridged this to the shorter and more expressive movie" which las not, however, acquired the dignity and status of a literary word.
 The word indeed, is so inadequate that there is a tendency to adopt, to describe the moving pictures, one of the terms obtaining in other coun- tries. Germany got "kino." France, England and Italy have used the word "cinema" with variations; and 1t is to that appellation that this country is gradually turning. Tn England, al- though cinema is plainly from the same Greek root that gave the Ger man language kino, the initial "c" IS soft. The same is true of the word in French and Italian.
 It is to the use of the word "cin- ema' as a substitute for our own awk- ward compound that the language Is gradually drifting. The moving pie ture art or industry, or whatever 1t may be, has loaded the vocabulary of entertainment with some dreadful words. Such hybrids as "picturiza- tion," "flmization" and the like are not the only offenders. It looks now as if register" as it Is used in the cinema ateliers in the sense of depict were going to find a permanent home in the language. It has not yet 'got into any of the dictionaries, but there is every reason to believe that it will The speech of the man in the street seems just now avid of any word tx- cept the correct one.
 In adopting a new word to describe the art of the moving picture there is an evident desire to get away from the more ordinary stencils of the new processes. Tn this tendency there Is an indication of a higher regard for the artistic achievements of the cinema than is to be expressed in it's first crude vocibula.xH.

ing policy in the present instance. This
 country remained aloof in the First
 Balkan War G912) During the Sec
 ond war, when Bulgaria, Serbia, and
 Greece were fighting over the spells
 which had been wrested from the
 Turks in the previous struggle, Ru-
 mania again remained an interested
 bystander until the closing days of
 the conflict; then she threw her weight
 with Greece and Serbia in time to
 demand as her reward the valuable
 strip of Bulgarian territory lying
 north and east of a line drawn be-
 tween Turtukaf and Baltchik in the
 Dobrudja region, between the Dan
 ube and the Black Sea. This prize
 added some 2,90O square miles to her
 area.
 ''If, as Is reported, Russia has prom
 ised the big Balkan state the impor
 tant province of Bessarabia, which ad-
 joins 1t on the northeast, 17,0O0
 square miles will be added to Ru-
 manian domains, together with two
 and a half million kindred people. In
 addition to this tempting spoil of

 "In the transportation of Russian troops as well as in handling her own forces to the Austro-Hun garian and Bulgarian borders Rumania's 2,300 mile railway system. nearly 95 per cent of which is state-owned, would play an extremely important role, as would also that great water highway, the Danube, which flows out of Aus tria-Hungary at the Kazan Pass and in it's eastward course to the Black Sea forms the navigable southern boundary of Rumania for nearly $50 ! miles, The 1,896,O0O miles of national | roads criss-crossing the country would also greatly facilitate the despatch of l troops"

Washington, D. C., Sept. 2.-What weight Rumania will throw into the scales Cf war in behalf of the entente allies is suggested in the following war geography bulletin issued today by the National Geographic society on the resources of this; the largest of the Balkan nations.
 With a field arm of 290.00O men, thoroughly trained and fully equipped, and with a reserve force of at least 100000 additional fighting men, Ru- Hania's entrance upon the great battlefield of Europe will inevitably have great weight. But of equal or perhaps even greater importance to the allies is the fact that with this cOuntry's declaration of war against the central powers her highways and railway systems can be used in moving an unlimited number of Russian SOL dlers to the northern frontier of Bull garia and the southeastern gateways into Hungary.
 Tn the present struggle it has been easier on many occasions to secure men for the firing line than to control the facilities for transporting them and to find the necessary IovI for them after their arrival in the trenches. Rumania possesses the means to solve in part both these problems.
 With an area about equal to that of the State of Arkansas, but with a population nearly five times as great, Rumania is essentially an agricultural country producing vastly more wheat in 1915 than Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece and Montenegro combined. It's crop last year (89, 100000 bushels) equalled the joint production of our two fer tile wheat states, Minnesota and Iowa. The yield of barley, corn, oats and rye is also large, and during the two years of war the country has waxed rich playing the role of an Egyptian merchant to starving nruther-nations the Well-paying central powers.
 Before the war the value of Ru- mania's grain exports exceeded $1O0,- 0O0,00 annually, and second in the list of her international sales was pe- troleum, valued at nearly $8,OOO, 900 a year. Her forests, too, are a source of revenue, for the well-wOoded slopes of the Carpathians, which form the western boundary between Rumania and Hungary, yield excellent oak, beech pine and fir, the exports being valued at $5,000,0O0.
 '"The precedent of her success in choosing the right moment to join in the Balkan imbroglio of 1916 would seem to have had considerab11 in- f1uence in prompting Rumania's wait

Correcting the Record.
New Haven Journal-Courier) :.


 Scientific periodicals and scientific men are not content, 1t seems, to let rest the condemnation of President Wilson, because under his adminlStra- ton, Dr. Durand was forced from the directorship of the census to make way for another more in political sympathy with the administration. They do not so much question the ac- curacy of the charge brought by MT. Hughes as they regret the fact that since the presidents sincerity in mat ters of scientific interest is large the whole truth is not told about him.
 The Scientific Monthly is one that takes MT. Hughes to task in this re- gard. It does not attempt to con- ceal a little shining on the presidents part, but what 1t regards of greater importance is the fact, unrecorded in political speeches, that of all the presidents since 1863 MT. Wilson has consulted more frequently the various scientific bodies and scientific men as to appointments and has respected their counsel. This was true in the case of the chief of the weather bu- reau, against heavy partisan odds and in the case of the commissioner of fisheries. Says the Scientific Month ly: "In other cases President Wilson has asked and followed the advice of scientific bodies and scientific men, and his record in this respect is cer- tainly better than that of any of his recent predecessors" Prof. Edwin (. Conk1E, a Princeton scientist of note, testlhes to the same effect. He says over his own signature: "The fact ls that no president within recent times at least has taken so much pains to obtaln the advice of scientific so c1etles and of scientific men regardines appolnIments to scientific position within the government; and none has more faithfully followed that advice"
 This sort of testimony from periodi- calls and individuals who are not a-~ cerned with political matters certain ly places MT. Wilson under heavy ob- l legations to MT. Hughes for having 1 pointed out his deli4quencies in the matter of scientific appointments. MT. ! Wilson may not be 100 Der cent. pure | in this connection, but he is surely 98 per cent pure, a very high aver i age in this year of our Lord.

California, it will be remembered he was forbidden by the Old Guard of that state to come into contact with Hiram Johnson. The plans were all formulated in advance so that Mr. Hughes would not have a chance to hop-nob with the PrOgressives. After the tour of the presidential candidate mad progressed a certain length the candidate saw the state of affairs and they were not to his liking. He req hzed his candidacy was being hurt by the tactics in vogue. And so he per- sonally set about making a re-adjust- ment. He wanted to see and have a talk with Hiram Johnson, who practi- cally dominates the political situa- tion in his state. But Hiram Johnson keenly resented the actions of the Old Guard in first holding off Candi- date Hughes and so Hiram Johnson refused to meet the candidate. He made it his business to keep out of sight. At one time the two men were in the same hotel, but Johnson emu lated the example of Houdini and made a complete disappearance. Thus was the breach between the two men widened until today it has over grown it's local application to Califor- nia and has spread in Progressive cir cles the country over.
 Now that Hiram Johnson has proven his strength by going outside his own party and securing the sen- atOrial honOrs from his Republican rival there will be weeping and gnashing of many teeth belonging to the Old Guard. Tn addition to this, Governor Johnson has his own Pro- gressive backing, enough to assure his victory over any man who might come before him. The mere fact that he can go into another mans party and take away the hOnors at the pri- maries shows which way the tide is drifting California will have little to do with the Republicans when the November elections appear on the calendar because California has not yet forgotten the sins of the Old Guard of that party. California is Progressive if it is nothing else.

National Unity.
(New Haven Journal-Courier.)

(New Haven Journal-Courier.) Presidest Wilson has found time to discuss Americas Opportunity in the current number of a popular magazine. Of course, the opportunity to which he refers is the situation which will arise the moment the
 warning nations of>Europc, now fouF@
 teen in number, lay down +H"ir arms
 and return to the Ways of peacL
 President Wilson Is deeply l-n-
 pressed by the opportunity which tb
 nation will enjoy as a result of u q
 commanding financial strength which
 will be hers when peace has cor le.
 It is natural that he should hope nat the great financiers of the cJuntrW will have vision enOLSk -- see and seize the opportunity, which recalls a statement, made to a distinguished American a few months ago by one of the great figures engaged in tho European war. He was commenting upon the future relation of this cOun- try to the other countries of the world and declared that, in his opinion, th9s United States has nothing to fear from any other nation on the face of the earth unless the United Sates provoked another nation into war. This, he said, was as true of Germany as it was of Japan. That will not be your trouble" he explained. At the close of this war ycu will find your self, speaking of you as nation, the
 most powerful and the richest in the world, and unless you are different from other peoples you will be the most arrogant There lies your dan ger" A part of the preparedness, - then. necessary to make the seizure of the approaching opportunity worthy, is the task of learning to keep a civil tongue in our heads without sacrifice ing dignity.
 We believe the president is right in$ his confidence that the future w show that we understand ourselves as & nation better than ever. The dis covery that we have to any degrea whatever a hyphenated citizenship to contend with has, in the language of every loyal and devoted American the length and breadth of the land, whether his birthplace was on this side of the water or on the other A new and wholesome force has arisen amongst us of thoughtful, watchful, energetic patriotism" That Is unQuestonably true. National unity has become more than a tenn porary political issue. It has become an essential of American stability. No citizen will hereafter be permitted 2, to serve two masters and play part in the political part of the nation.
