OUR CENSORED MAILS.
British Government Accused of Using
Trade Secrets.

\ statement made recently in the
House of Commons by the war secretary
is being widely interpreted as an ad-
mission that the British government is
using the mail censorship not only to
destroy trade to and from Germany, but
that it is using the trade secrets found
IN censored correspondence between
neutrals for the purpose of building up
its own trade, says bulletin of the
Philadelphia Commercial Museum. The
statement reads in part as follows:
1T is the practice to communicate
TO other departments concerned any in
formation on matters Of public interest
which may be obtained through the
censorship, for such use to be made of
it as the particular department may
consider advisable. ... The govern
ment is perfectly within its rights in
using any information which comes TO
it in these conditions for any public or
national purpose.
The concluding words "'for any pub
lie or national purpose are certainly
sufficiently broad in scope to justify any
such use of censored mails as NAV be
! decided upon. Yet, there is posi-
bllity that the war secretary s words
J
ion than was intended or warranted.
And, aside from the possibility, and re-
| gardless of the individual opinion of
! the war secretary, the fact is that any
! information of a military character
gathered up by the war department
| Through the censorship is not acted
upon by the department itself, but is
sent to the department having juris-
diction over such matters. In the case
of trade matters that department is,
under the present organization Of the
| British government, the ministry of
trade. Two weeks earlier this minis
try had denied that improper use was
being made of information CLEANED
from the opened neutral correspondence
in this formal statement:
1t cannot be emphasized too strong
/ ly that the general and statistical in
formation extracted from trade letters
which has proved so valuable to his
maJeSty's government in checking the
supply of material sent through neutral
enemy countries and suppressing the
export of enemy goods, is used for these
purposes solely and never for the pur
pose of substituting allied trade fol-
neutral.
The statements of these two respon
sible British authorities appear to bt
in flat contradiction, and III attempt
ing to explain the discrepancy 1t would
seem reasonable to assume that the at
titude as explained by the ministry O
trade, in whose hands the fate of thu
censored mails rests, more truly reflect
the actual practice of the government.
: This reasoning may be wrong, and /
) may be admitted that, in the course o
correspondence with exporters, tn
Philadelphia Commercial Museum ha
e been advised of incidents which Nigh
g justify the suspicion, at least, that tn
e censorship was being extended beyon

German trade in the past where bank

have used the information contained in
papers and documents passing through
their hands III the ordinary routine to
divert trade, occasionally a government
employee, at the instigation OF and in
conspiracy with, a merchant, has taken
advantage of his position to steal trade
information, but it seems incredible
that government itself under the
guise of a censorship which it justifes
as military measure, should deliber-
atelv set about making use of the trade
secrets of neutral merchants for the
benefit of its own merchants.
There may be a difference of opinion
ON the right of a belligerent under in
ternatlonaf" law to make wholesale de
tentlon and seizures of mails between
neutrals passing through its hands; there
can be only one opinion of the right
of belligerent to use the information
obtained through such censorship as a
means of building up its own trade and
destroying that of neutral countries. 1t
cannot be justified under any inter
probation of international law. Once
such improper use of the censorship is
established, the duty of the government
whose nationals are Disseminated
against is plain, but, until the facts of
the ease are admitted, or established
beyond reasonable doubt, it is the part
of wisdom to suspend judgment.

Sporting Notes.

In their mad career the Giants have
spared not one of the other teams i'll the
league. They have defeated consccu-
lively Brooklyn once, Philadelphia four
times, Cincinnati four, Pittsburg five,
Chicago three, st. Louis six and Bos
ton two games.
There is no need of waiting until the
world $ series to unload the annual story
of the fan who dropped dead watching
the baseball bulletin board. There is
every chance for heart disease to de-
.vclop in the present race for pennants
in both leagues. Why wait for the
world s series?
Ferdic Schupp, who has been sitting
on the Giants bench for the greater
part of three years with an occasional
chance to finish up n lost game, is con
timing his job Of blazing a path to
fame. In his last six games, all of which
he has won, he has allowed II hits and
one earned run. That is less than three
hits on the average to a game.
Several more of the larger college
elevens will swing into action today
for the first time this season, the see
ond Saturday of the eastern gridirOr
season of 1916. Among the more i'm
portant teams to engage in their initia
contests are Princeton, Yale, Army

When It Is Hot.

Consider Mr. Shadraeh,
OF fiery furnace fame:
lie didn't bleat about the heat
Or fuss about the flame
lie didn't stew or worry,
And get his nerves in kinks.
Nor fill his/skin with lines and gin
And other cooling drinks.
Consider Mr. Meshacl.
Who felt the furnace, too:
He let it sizz nor queried, is
1t hot enough for you?'
He didn't mop his forehead,
And hunt a Shady spot
Nor did he say, "Geei what day
Believe me, it s some hot
Consider, too, Abedneso.
Who shared his comrades plight;
lie dldn shake his coat and make
Himself a holy sight;
lie didn't wear suspenders
Without a coat and vest;
Nor did he scowl and snort and howl
And make himself pest.
Consider, friends, this trio
How little fuss they made.
They didn't curse when it was worse
Than ninety in the shade.
They moved about serenely
Within the furnace bright,
And soon forgot that it was hot,

New York Takes Stringent Measures
as to Coaches.

as to Coaches.
New York state has taken stringent
measures regarding physical training in
the secondary schools of the state. One
remarkable feature of the new orders
for compulsory training is that all
coaches and trainers must be members
of the school faculties. This bars hired
coaches and trainers from the secondary
schools of the state.
Another provision intended to prevent
excessive training is that it must not
exceed six hours a week and can be
substituted for play only on the basis
of pleasure and health and not primar-
! lily to win victories or make athletic
records. No pupil will be permitted
membership on more than one athletic
team during a single athletic season.
/ The physical training course will be
/ Of % minutes duration a day, the min
/ imWm prescribed by the law and will
include two Commute class periods each
week in schools equipped with gymna-
Sums. Setting-up drills are to be given
i in all schools at least four times a day
/ for Il minimum of two minutes for each
period. In schools not equipped for
gymsastic work the program calls for
supervised recreation.
Work done at home is to be accepted
as equivalent for the school work i'll the
physical training course. The boys who
chop wood at home, out of doors, will
receive credit for the work, as will the
students who pillow, pitch hay, do road
work or surveying. Students who do
field work i'll botany, wood craft, ZOO
logy or biology will receive credit in
their physical training course.
\ provision of the course is that all
athletics must be open to girls as well
as boys, the same conditions applying
to both. No athletic organization OF
enterprise, the commission held, could
exist in schools without permission of
tie local school authorities.

Holsteins Give Most Milk.

Tests, covering wide range of time

registered purebred Holstein- Friesian

market because she gives the most milk,

cost The dairyman who is in the bust
ness for profit cannot overlook the
