be the rule. Should this country find
itself upon a high level of costs when
Europe resumes business, competition
from that quarter would be much
more difficult to meet # peace found
us laboring under the disadvantage
of high costs of production. Peace
will find our output greatly expanded.
Every indication points to our making
mighty strides in foreign trade. Amer
lean manufacturers are sure of secur-
ing a larger outlet for their surplus
products. But after the war these
may have to pc sold at low prices or
kept at home. More or less depres-
sion will follow here in sympathy
with depression abroad. More than
ever it is necessary for leaders of
labor to understand the laws OF trade,
if they wish to conserve the interests
of those in their charge and prevent
them from mourning self-inflicted in
juries. Home trade continues ac-
tive in all parts of the country. Last

it is quite possible that recent traffic
congestion will result in smaller gains
in earnings for December and jan

the modest conception of the early
days of his importance at this time was
gradual for the idea of citizenship Of
the United States as distinct from citi-
zenship of the state, as the question
came before the country from. time to
time, was of slow growth and confus-
ing in application; and the full mean
ing of what is implied in citizenship of
the United States is not understood
even in our own day and generation.
With respect to aliens, that is, persons
foreign born, citizenship of the United
States is a white mans prerogative,
with his admission to the political
family ~lgulated solely by Congress
through its laws of naturalization.
The Civil War gave citizenship to the
black man on American soil. Neither
the yellow nor the brown man, Meth
er Chinese nor Japanese. neither Ma
lay. Hawaiian, nor Filipino, is well
come under the laws of naturaliza-
ton; and the red man, as a domestic
alien, is denied citizenship so long as
he is held in tribal relations as ward
of the nation.

CROP ACREAGE GROWS
Worlds Grain Area Jumps Per Cent
Because of War.

Rome, Feb. 22.-The February re-
port of the international institute of
agriculture compiled from data sup
piled by each country indicates that
the war needs have increased the crop
area of the world seven and three
tenths per cent. Increases in corn,
wheat and oats in the United States
and Canada and elsewhere are more
than neutralized by decrease in
cultivation in Russia and Hungary. The
forecasts that the wheat production of
Argentine and Australia would show
an increase are confirmed.
Cattle in the United States increased
$40 per cent or 3,112, 900 head, thus
making a total of 61,441, 900 head.
Cereal crop conditions are backward
in France and England and favorable
in Italy, Switzerland, India, Algeria
and Egypt. In Spain there is an in
crease of per cent in wheat 81 per
cent in barley and of IT per cent in
oats over the corresponding period of

RAPID READERS BEST
Assimilate More Than Slow, Says
School Survey Report.

Detroit. Feb. ga report On the
results of the studies of reading, car
ried on as a part of the Cleveland
school survey, was given today to the
national council of education by
Charles H. Judd, director of the school
of education. University of Chicago.
The national council was one of nine
organizations affiliated with the Ma
tional Education association, which
neld sessions today.
The distinction between oral and ST
lent reading was shown in Professor
Judds report, by means of a diagram
which exhibited the fact that oral
reading Is slower than silent reading.
Another diagram indicated that the
slow readers are in general, inefficient
IN the reproduction of what they have
read, while rapid readers, in general,
are able to give an account of what
they have read.

BAGS A ZEPPELIN
% German Airmen Perish
When Dirigible Blows Up.
French Gunner Hits Raider
With Incendiary Shell.

Paris, Feb. 22.-The entire crew of
the Zeppelin airship brought down by
French guns near Brabant-Le-Roi yes
terday, % in number, persisted, ac-
cording to a Havas dispatch from Bar
Le-Duc. The Zeppelin was brought to
earth by the first shot from an auto

The Zeppelin was one of the latest
model, according to the advices, being
of the marine type and numbered IL.

ceeded in another direction. The Yep
pelin fought against the wind and adj
vanced slowly. AS soon as it was
within range the cannonade began.
Two shells burst in the rear of the
dirigible, while an incendiary projec-
tile seemed to tear across the Zeppelin,
igniting the right side of the craft.
The fire, sweeping along the entire
length of the airship, burned steadily
and in touching the earth the bombs
which the ship carried exploded. An
enormous crowd of persons speedily
gathered. while the roads were filled
with automobiles on their way to the
scene. Those who arrived found moth
ing but debris of the aircraft, among
which lay twenty-five bodies.

STRENGTH OF HUGHES.

Another indication of the sentiment
of the rank and file of Republican
voters in favor of the nomination of
Justice Hughes as the Republican
presidential candidate is to be found
in a straw vote that was taken re-
Gently by the Los Angeles Times
among the Republicans in Los An
geles. Approximately $500 voters
were polled and of this number no
less than 2.592 registered themselves
in favor of the New York julist. This
is more than twice as many endorse
ments as any other preference re-
ceived. And an unusually interesting
outcome of this poll was that former
President Taft was second choice,
1903 votes being cast for him, or
about one-sixth of all the expressions
that were gathered. 1t was in Cali
fo~nia, too, that one of the most Wig
orous of the contests was waged
against Mr. Taft during the last presi-
Dental campaign, and the strength he
showed in the Los Angeles poll would
seem to suggest that Californians have
finally begun to appraise Mr.. Taft at
his real worth. But this is going on
all over the country and the prob
abilities are that Mr.. Taft is held in
higher regard today the nation over
than he has been at any time during
his public career. certainly than was
the case during The close of the last
presidential contest, and many Re
publicans who voted against Mr.. Taft
then are probably now of a mind
that they did him an injustice. Elihu
Root ran third in this Los Angeles
poll with 900 votes and former Vice
President Fairbanks was fourth with
476 votes, while among the more ac-
tive of the Republican presidential
candidates, Cummins received SS9
votes Burton 236. Sherman 164 and
Weeks 113. The really significant
feature of the poll, however, is the
strength shown by Justice Hughes
And the likelihood is that Republican
voters all over the country are Just as
partial to Justice Hughes as are the
Los Angeles voters whose opinions
have been voiced in this concrete way.

BUSINESS AND LAROR.

According 20 the weekly financial
review issued by Henry Clews, the
New York banker, about the only no
ticeable cloud on this courtry's i'm
mediate business horizon is the labor
situation. which Mr.. Clews character
ICES as unsettled owing to the threat
ened crisis with tho coal miners and
railroad employees. There is reason
to hope, however" Mr.. Clews con-
tinues, that serious disturbances will
be avoided and that the disputes will
be settled by conferences and rea-
soning between both sides. In making
these new demands, labor leaders
should not overlook the ultimate ef-
fects of war upon themselves as we'll
as capital. For the time being labor
is scarce and trade active: hence full
employment at good wages is GEN
orally assured. The scarcity of labor
is a factor in their favor, because in
the fiscal year ending 1915 the ar

lures by only $4,000, compared with
an average influx of about a million

three fourths of a mile from Milford,
because of defective airhose. A
special passenger train bound in the
same direction toward New York,
smashed into the rear end of No. 70.
All in Same Direction.
The engine of the special and rear
coach of the stalled train were over
turned. A minute later the freight
hurled into the overturned engine and
coach which had fallen across the
next track. All the trains were going
in the same direction.
A fourth train, arriving shortly aft
er the crash, picked up the injured
and, finding the road to New Haven
impossible, backed into Bridgeport,
two miles in the rear.
According to the New Haven YER
sion of the wreck, both 70 and the
other passenger train were badly dam
aged. The freight cars were piled in
huge tumble.
Yale Men ON Train.
Among the injured passengers are
John R. Fitzpatrick of New York. for
mer Yale athlete and football player;
Allan Corey. son of William E. Corey,
former president of the United States
Steel corporation, and former Yale
baseball captain; Morgan O'Brien, son
of former Justice Morgan J. O'Brien,
of the New York state supreme court
and Ford Johnson. All are Yale men
and were on the last car of the pas
senger train. 1t is not believed any of
them suffered serious injury.
