Editorial Echoes.

Mr.. Wilson has handled the foreign affairs of
this country during the most trying period since
the Cival War. He alone knows of all the difficult
ties and embarrassments that he. has encountered
and he alone knows the weight of the response
bity which he had to bear alone, for it is
responsibility that cannot be shared shifted He
alone knows what obstacles our unpreparedness
has interposed to the successful assertion and
maintenance of our rights "as consensus of CIV
ilized peoples has defined them" No other mans
opinion the need of national defense is of any
value whatever in comparison with his opinion
for he has been through the mill. He speak
with authority that is denied to everybody else.
We can understand why men of earnest and honest
convictions might oppose the Presidents program
the ground that it does not go far as the
exigences of the situation demand, but we are un-
able to understand why any intelligent citizen
should assert that it goes too far. When
slider the position in which the United States is
already placed through fault of its own, when,
the President says I'VE do not know what the
circumstances of another month or another day
may bring FORTH" it is the sheerest folly for any
to that ought to act as If we

Markets for Our Peace Products.

II we are to escape an industrial reaction after
the war, our manufacturers must develop oversee
markets for their products Of peace. This timely
advice which has been the tongues of far
sighted observers for seasons past, urged with
particular emphasis at the recent meeting of the
National Foreign Trade Council at New Orleans
It is not to be expected that our vast volume of
European exports will continue when the beIIiger-
ents declare truce. Mr.. Alba B. Johnson presi-
dent OF the Baldwin Locomotive Works, reminded
the delegates to the New Orleans convention that
many of the war orders which now swell our for
eign trade balance are subject to instant cancella
ton. sudden stoppage of that kind, unless dis
counted well in advance, would be broadly de-
pressing American industry now thrives upon
conditions that are extraordinary. 1t be pre-
pared to hold it's own in a normal world, if its
prosperity is to remain undiminished.
The readiest markets for peace products,
surest means of cultivating G4Ose markets is the
money! and the New York Commercial tersely
ain and Germany in Latin America have been due
very largely TO their service to Latin Americas
financial needs. They have helped to build rail-
roads and to promote other developments. AS
natural result Central and South American trade
flowed responsibility to the European creditors.
Now, that Europe has been forced to withdraw
these accommodations, and for years to come will
be unable to resume them. the United States has

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash 1t with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless) is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance Of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves 1t fine and
silky, bright. fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get rnulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for

TWO FATALITIES IN
new YORK STRIKE
Car Manned by Green Motor
man Jumps Track at Curve
and Strikes Motor Buses.
FEW SURFACE CARS RUN

New York, Sept. 1.-THE first seri-
Gus accident Of the street railway
strike in this city occurred early today
when a trolley car of the Union Rail-
way company in the Bronx, operated
by green" motorman, got beyond
control on a steep grade and jumping
the track at curve crashed into two
jitney buses, killing two persons and
severely injuring thirteen others. Four
OF the injured may die. The crew was
arrested pending investigation.
After night Of intermittent rioting
motormcn on the Sixth and Ninth
avenue elevated roads reported to the
police that they hid been fired upon
from roof tops. Third avenue ele-
waited trains were repeatedly bonn
barded with bricks and stones from
buildings. One passenger, a woman,
was struck on the head and seriously
injured. Five arrests were made.
Subway Lines Congested.
The congestion on the subway and
elevated roads today was even more
pronounced than yesterday, due to the
fact that there was little or no service
on the surface lines of Manhattan and
the Bronx. Not car wheel moved
in the Westminster cities of Yopkers,
MoGnt Vernon and New Rochelle.
Union leaders claim hundreds OF sub
way and elevated employees have
joined the union within the last TWEEN
ty-four hours. Traction officials main
tain that all Of their employees who
signed the master and servant" con-
tract remained loyal.
The danger Of great general strike
to help enforc, the demands of the
striking traction employees seemed re-
mote today in view of the statement
that the only unions likely to be in
volved in such movement were those
directly concerned with the operation
of the street cars. Hugh Frayne, state
organizer for the American, Fedora
ton of Labor, who made this asser-
ton, said that if sympathetic strike
were called it probably would not in
volve more than 10000 workers. In
this class he named engineers, fire.
men, longshoremcn and teamsters.
The marlborough Rapid Transit
company maintains that subway and
elevated trains are running regularly,
but the strikers declare they have
made inroads on the ranks Of the COM
pany's motormen. As the result of
the limited service on the surface
lines, elevated and subway trains are
crowded and the suburban service of
the New York Central and the New
York, New Haven & Hartford rail-
way systems is congested.
More Acts Of Violence.
Violence continued as the day went
on. Strikers and sympathizers halted
surface cars and set upon the crews of
strikebreakers when the latter refused.
to desert their posts.
Nearly 100 strikebreakers, most Of
them from Chicago and Boston, APP
pealed to Mayor Mitchell and the Pub
lie Service commission, claiming that
none Of the promises made when they
were engaged had been kept and that !
they were virtually prisoners in car
barns. They alleged that armed guards,
prevented them from leaving and that
wages due them were not forthcom-
ing.
The mayor promised them police
protection in their efforts to collect
wages.
