Emperor Rewards Recalled Attache.

Emperor NCWokao ANSSolAS~
London, May ia Central News
dispatch from Amsterdam says that
Captain Karl Boy-Ed, formerly Ger
man naval attache at Washington,
has been decorated with the order of
the Red Eagle, third class, with
swords, by the emperor.
Captain Boy-Ed was appointed to
Washington embassy December, 1911
After various charges had been made
against him in regard to his connec-
ton with passport frauds, the equip
ment of German commerce raiders
from this country and German intri-
CUES in Mexico, President Wilson re-
quested his recall. After the presi-
dent had declined a request from
Berlin to explain the reasons for the
demand for Captain Boy-Ed's recall,
the attache was ordered home last
December.
The charges against Captain Boy
Ed continued after his departure
from this country. In March OF this
year when Horst Won der Goltz was
arrested in New York in connection
with the plot to blow up the Welland
canal in Canada, he made a state
ment to the United States district at
torney charging that Captain Boy-Ed
had proposed an invasion of Canada
from this country.

table published not long ago in
L'Echo de la Timbrologie, the French

as a label for letters, the Manchester

Prosperity; Let Us Keep It.

When the European war developed
in the midsummer of 1914 as a con-
flagration that could not be stopped
it was at once apparent that an i'm
mediate effect would be to stimulate
all forms of industrialism in this
country. This actually happened. The
wheat yield of the United States for
1914 was a breaker, but the
price of the bread cereal and of all
ly There was a call upon large
and varied schedule for materials to
equip the great armies. European in
dustrialism was completely demoral-
ized; export trade in the United
States decreased immensely; the
American manufacturer before the
end of the first year of the war found
that he had his home market, the
most important market in the whole
world, practically to himself, says Bal
timore American. No protective tar
iff, no matter how high the rate sched-
ules may have been arranged, could
have been SO effective in protecting
the American producer and the Amer
lean wage carrier against the low-wage
competition of Europe as the war.
The war has done exactly what it was
expected to do; it has started won
derful prosperity wave. in this coun-
try. It has created a market abroad

Tariff HELMS Germany

Recently the New York Evening Tel
egram chronicled the fact that as
result of the war America had gained
a new industry, quartz glass" hith-
erto imported from Germany, although
made from sand found only in Ne
braska, being now manufactured in
New York city.
Taking up this matter, the Ameri
can Economist wants to know whether
the new industry can survive. 1t does
not cost much to transport quartz
sand from Nebraska to Germany After
the sand reaches Germany it costs
about one-third as much to convert it
into quartz glass as it costs in the
United States. The trainers of the
Underwood tariff evidently intended
that Germany should keep on making
quartz glass for this country. If not,
why should they have reduced the
tariff from As to 80 per cent? The
war has acted thus far as prohibi.
tive tariff. When the war ends the
rate will go back to 80 per cent. 1t re
mains to be seen how this new Amer
lean industry will get along under a
free trade tariff unmitigated by war
conditions.
Framing our tariff to protect lot
of infant industries for other nations
is something that needs looking after.

OPPOSED TO BONDS
Democratic Party Displays Its
Usual Stupidity.
Leaders Differ Over Matter Which
Seems to Admit of No Dispute
United States Tariff a Help
to Foreign Commerce.

The Democratic obsession against
the issue of bonds in times of peace
continues. 1t is strikingly illustrated
in the attitude of Secretary McAdoo
and Democratic Floor Leader Kitchin
of North Carolina. They are opposed
on the question of defense, but as to
the great wickedness of employing this
well-known financial device they seem
perfectly agreed.
Mr.. Kitchin finds that the treasury
condition is not good and that there is
not enough money in sight to defray
the ordinary expenses of the govern
ment, to say nothing of paying for bet
ter national defense. The idea that
this is an extraordinary situation and
that measure not resorted to under
ordinary circumstances is justified
does not seem to occur to him. Or if
the idea occurs it is rejected with
classic Democratic horror as an in
vention of the powers of darkness be
cause it involves bond issue.
On the other hand, we have Secre-
tary McAdoo strongly in favor Of
large outlays for preparedness but in
sisting on meeting them out of the cur
rent income. He is just as confident
| that all the funds needed for ordinary
and extraordinary purposes will be
realized by his taxation scheme as he
was that the income tax receipts
would be vastly greater than they
were. The fact that bond issue has
a satisfactory certainty does not even
begin to outweigh, in Mr.. McAdoo's
mind. the iniquity of a small increase
of our relatively small national debt
Back of this obsession is the old
idea of the unpopularity of bond is
sue among the people. It is not i'm
probable, however, that the public
opinion in that regard has changed
much faster than the Democratic opin
ion. 1t is quite possible that an in
crease in the extraordinary taxation
and the extension of the income ia,
may wake displeasure even among
those who are supposed to regard {
bond issue as the certain sign of the
nations collapse.-New York World.

WIZ CHAPTER II
]. Wesley Croesus
~ -

Brouillard was not what the West
calls "jumpy" Four years of field
work, government or other, count for
something; and the man who has
proved powder-shy in any stage of his
grapple with the Land of Short Notice
is customarily dead man.
In spite of his training, however, the
young chief of construction, making an
early morning exploration Of the site
for the new dam, WINGED handsomely

explosion trembled upon the crisp
morning air, coming, as it seemed.

of the canyon.
The decorating crash reminded him
forcibly that the presence of the tour
ing party was asserting itself. The ex-
plosion was too heavy to figure as a
gunshot Therefore it must have been
an accident of some sort-possibly the
blowing up of the automobile.
Between this and hurried weight
ing of the sheaf of blueprints with his
fieldglass preparatory to a first-aid
dash down the outlet gorge, there was
no appreciable interval. But when he
came to his outlook halting place of
the night before, he saw that there had
been no accident The big touring car,
yellow with the dust of the Buckskin,
stood intact on the sand fiat where

lard had sudden rush of blood to the
anger cells when he realized that the
alarm which had brought him two

had been the discharge of stick OF
dynamite thrown into the Niquoia fol
the fish-killing purpose. In his code
the dynamiting of a stream figured as
a high crime. But the two on the trai

Rouoh Edoe on Coins.

Did you ever look at the edge of
a dime or quarter? They are differ
ent from pennies and nickels, for all
silver and gold coins have what are
called "milled' edges, while the edges
of pennies and nickels are smooth, the
Kansas City Star says. The reason
for this is that some dishonest persons
used to clip pieces off the coins, espe-
cially the gold ones, and then sell
these scraps of precious metal when
they had saved a great many. Every
year the nation lost large sums of
money this way and the thieves would
smooth the edges off SO well that it
was hard to find out who was guilty
The best way of stopping this practice
was found to be to mill the edges
of the more valuable coins so that no
one could pare them without letting
it be seen at once.
