SHORT PEN PICTURE.

BERLIN, April 27 - Prof. Heinrich Cauer, well known sculptor, who has been engaged for some time on a bust of Hndenburg. contributes to the Bauseitung a pen picture of the popu- lar military leader:
 If you look at Hindenburg closely you will notice a furrow over the nose drawn between the swellings of the brow. This furrow has been graven by the gigantic responsibilities of the present war. You get the impression of strain, and even suffering. an i'm pression somehow heightened by the yellow color of the skin.
 The field marshal is lean. Photo graphs had led me to expect fat man. But he is actually thin, and this thinness increases the impression of energy in the face and Is certainly preferable from the artists point of view"

selves as plotters against not only
the interest but the dignity of the

These elements some time ago be-
came notorious as putting higher

excited, than on the life Of human
being taken at sea, something which

them to make it known. But it will

is contraband it shall not be treated
as contraband because it's their cot

coNTRABAND COTTON

In its frankly avowed plan to send
cotton to Germany in ships owned by
native-born American citizens and
flying the American flag, the Texas
Farmers Union can purpose only to
brew more international trouble for
this country.
Cotton is on both the British and
the German lists Of contraband.
Contraband is epntraband, whatever
any shipper, or any authority be-
hind the shipper, may trsfsto make
Of it. ~, ~ ~
Cotton being contraband, it win
not, when destined for Germany,
ever get past any British warship
chat intercepts it. Cotton being con-
rraband, it would not, when destined
Cor British ports, ever get past any
German warship that could inter
cept, it.
The shippers from the Southern
States know this. The men in Con-
gress who are constantly agitating
this matter Of contraband cotton
';VVw it. There isn't anybody of
Intelligence that doesn't know that
contraband cannot be shipped with
out danger Of being captured. There
isht anybody of the feeblest brain
power in Congress that doesn't
know that when a thing is contra
band this Government cannot, unless
il be by force Of arms, compel bel
liserent TO forego its rights to inter-
cept and divert such contraband if
it has the sea power to catch and
take the contraband.
When cotton shippers in the South

Stsss, therefore, try to foment such

OIL THE NEW POWER

Gasolene has gone sky high be-
cause oil has been soaring. Supply
measured by demand, oil is for the
time being scarce. California, with
vast oil fields not yet scratched, is
more or less dried up by Govern.
ment rulings made with no under
standing of the situation in that
State. Not only does the oil not
come out now because Of those rul-
ings, but it may never come out
unless the Government does some
thing to correct its mistake in that
instance, for existing wells not now
being pumped are in danger Of be-
ing drowned out by subteranean
water.
1t is the business of; and it is a
prime necessity for, the administra-
tive and legislative branches of the
Government to look we'll to the con-
servation of oil supplies; but the
Government must have a care not
to play the foolish and costly part
of making oil needlessly dear; for
in these days all the world is hot
after oil and the fuel and power
products of oil.
The British admiralty has an
nounced that estimates for building
all fighting ships must provide for
the consumption of oil exclusively.
In the DardanelIes the maneuvering
of the colossal Queen Elizabeth, on
which oil was the only fuel, proved
that machinery controlling the
mightiest boats can be run by oil as
well as coal.
Our battleships built within re-
cent years are fitted to burn oil
either altogether or in part, and the
decision has been made that here
after those added to our navy shall
be entirely oil-driven. The ones at
present using oil for fuel would con-
sumo $4,000 tons a month if they
were in active service. With such
demands for its production growing
apace the power of oil in world
politics is bound to become immense.
OF the great naval powers the
United States is the only one which
has an ample supply Of petroleum,
and it's future might seem to be we'll
guarded, but not if the confidence of
business men who have put their
savings into the highly speculative
investment of sinking wells is de-
stroyed.

pkospERIrY vs.. ARTICULATION

The inevitable conflict between
Nero speculation and real business
vas illustrated the other day, when
the United States Steel Corporation
announced q 10 per cent increase in
wages, affecting many thousands Of
its employees. Plainly enough, such
q move could not be made by so
carefully managed corporation
unless there were confidence that its
present prosperity was destined to
continue a long time. Wages change
more slowly than prices; other COM
ra6dities vary in cost from day to
day; labor's cost is the last to be
Teduced in period of general fall
ing prices, and the last to be adj
t;ahced in time Of rising prices. It's
fluctuations are slight compared to
changes in commodity quotations.
So the advance of 10 per cent in
wages must have been testimony
that the steel people anticipated. a
long period Of good business. 1t
might reasonably have been assumed
that the speculative community
would accept this as almost axiO-
matte. 5 But instead Of strengthening
Steel shares, the announcement was
followed by bearing development.
The spectators calculated that if
he corporation was to give SO much
more to labor, it could not pay it out
in dividends.
This is the difference between
speculative interest in a stock, and
responsible managerial concern for
the general advantage of a corpora
ton. The management must con-
slider everything. A liberal policy
toward wage earners is the guaranty
Of stable labor conditions, the insur-
ance against strikes. 1t is no longer
possible for any great enterprise to
be successfully conducted with a
view only to dividends. That plan
may succeed for a time; but in the
end it will break down. The fact
that the big corporation, long-vis-
ioned as its management has re-
peatedly proved itself, would grant
so liberal a concession to it's labor
was the best possible roof of con-
ddence in the future.
