WANTS PRESIDENTS
APOLOGY TO HYPHENS
Representative Bennett Suggests
Amends to German-Americans.

Washington. Jan. % 4 hope that
the President was not "too proud to
apologize" was expressed on tho floor
Of the House to-day by Representa-
tive Bennett, Of New York. who declared
the President should apologize for his
statement in regard to the hyphenates
made in his message TO Congress.
"Oh! ! would that. as a fellow Pres
byterian, ! could, before the President
made his recent address to this House.
have given HIM word of Scripture
which / now give him IN all serious
ness to take to that great city which
love- said Mr.. Bennett. This Is the
phrase: But let all men be swift to
hear, slow to speak. slow TO wrath, for
the wrath of man worketh not the
righteousness of God
III the President had had that
phrase in his mind he would have
hesitated before on very slight evil
dence he used those particular words
I'm which he segregated a portion or
our citizenship. born abroad. For the
President is not unfrlendly to foreign
birth. / do him the justice willingly
10 admit that the words of scorn were
followed IN the next sentence by one
Of the most generous tributes 20 CIT
liens Of foreign birth ever uttered IN
this House.
1.-THE President simply was misled by
some one; and as he journeys to our
great city ne can do the cause which
he represents no greater good than by
demonstrating that even President OF
the United States is not too great nor
too proud to apologize for a statement
made almost without foundation"
Representative Dyer asked Mr.. Ben
net low he inferred that the President
had meant COMMUNICATIONS IN
speaking Of the hyphenates. Mr.. Ben
net replied that the entire country had
interpreted the Presidents speech as
referring 10 those born subjects of the
Central Powers, and that the Pres dent
must have known that his speech would
be so construed.

WESTERN CANADA PR0SPERS
West Comes Through" for British
Empire with Bumper Crop.

J. s. Dennis, assistant to the presi-
dent OF the Canadian Pacific Railway,
who is at present in New York, de-
clared yesterday that Western Canada
is enjoying a wonderfully prosperous
year as the result Of bumper crop.
"Never has Western Canada made
such a record he added. Never have
the prairies so demonstrated their fer
tility and, I may add, never. both from
our own point of view and that of the
empire. was il so necessary for the
West TO come through In wheat
alone the three prairie provinces last
year yielded more than all other grains
rut together. 100000 bushels, as
against 100000 in 1914"
Mr.. Dennis said the main problem
confronting the Canadians was that of
immigration. That has fallen Off, and
as a result a readjustment of the pres
ent distribution of rural and urban
population, according to Mr.. Dennis, IS
necessary.

The Improvement in the earnings
over 1914 did not become apparent UNI
til the results of the second quarter
were shown. The earnings Of the first
three months of the year Sl2,457 500 -
were S5,536,572 less than for the CORE
spending quarter Of 1914. Then came
the second quarter, with an increase Of
over S7,OOO,0OO, and the third quarter,
with a gain Of more than Sl6,000,O0O,
with the December quarter Gaping the
climax, with an excess of earnings over
/ 1914 Of more than S40,000,000. In this
connection. however, It is recalled that
the Steel Corporations showing for the
December. 1914, quarter was the worst
in its history.
