foreign policy must be based. Why,
then, surrender, except as a last re-
sort, the pledges of future opportunity
in Asia which we already hold in our
hands?
Mr.. Usher's chief criticism OF the
foreign policy of the Wilson Admins
tration-if there is such thing In the
broader political sense-is that II IS
not based on the needs of the future
and the real interests Of the United
States. Il has been, in fact, an extern
porization from day to day, responding
20 sentimental impulse or to toe ext
gencies of domestic politics.
For instance. Mr.. Wilson has made
much-at least in diplomatic CORE
spondence-of the maintenance OF the
rights Of individual Americans travel
ling on the high seas. I'D practically
nothing of the maintenance OF the
rights of individual Americans muir

macy have been due TO the lack OF any
clear conception of foreign policy as
such. and of the vast extent to which
our permanent national interests must
be affected by our international rela-
tons.
Mr.. Wilson is perhaps a representa-
tive American in still accepting the
tradition If isolation. He has not ap-
preciated the wisdom Of President
McKinley's announcement fifteen years
ago, that the period of isolation was
over. Il is the great merit of Profess
sor Usher's book that IT tears this
inherited superstition TO tatters.
Even those who will not accept he
doctrine of "the imperative necessity
of force" in the world as it IS now
constituted, or admit that every nation,

from this volume. That IS that,
whether we wish it or not. our lot Is

conceded 10 US IL We made an alliance
with Great Britain merely to obtain a
free hand IN the West Indies and the
Gulf Of Mexico.
Why should a British-American alli-
ance compel US TO retire from the Pa
cifc and give up the Philippines, Guam
and Hawaii 10 Japan? Mr.. Usher adj
mits that the present British-Japanese
alliance is only a makeshift. and that
Japan's interests IN Asia are rapidly
bringing her more and more into con-
fict with Great Britain. These two
powers cannot travel harmoniously IN
company very much longer. But If we
arc backed by Great Britain's sea
power. what harm can Japan do US in
the Pacific? The logic of an alliance
with Great Britain points rather 20 a
retention by US Of our present Pacific
possessions, with a view 10 using them
later on when China is really opened
up to civilization and becomes one Of
the most profitable markets in the
world.
The only real argument which Mr.
Usher advances for an abandonment O {
our strategic positions IN the Pacific is
that Japan cannot now monopoliZe Chi

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG LAYING CONTEST

Report for the thirty-second week, ending June Il, 1916.
 Perhaps the most significant fea- ture in the thirty-second week of the laying contest at Storrs is the fact that a new high mark has been set for weekly pen production. Nearly two years ago Tom Barron's pen of English White Leghorns laid 63 eggs in one week, thereby setting a weekly record that has not been even equal led until last week, when the Agri- cultural Colleges pen of "Oregons'' from Corvallis, Ore, laid GA eggs, a production for the week of 91 1-2 per cent. P. G. P1att's White Leghorns from WaIlingford, Pa, were second for the week with a yield of 60 eggs.

DO AMERICANS LACK PATRIOTISM?

Are Americans deficient in patriot ism? Answer: Yes-according to Dr. Edward Charming, professor of history at Harvard University. Americans are, and always have been, the most unpatriotie people on the face of the gIobe,'' Professor Charming was quoted as saying in a lecture on his tory at Harvard a few months ago. Others of his statements which have attracted attention are that "it was only by accident that we won the revo- Iutionary war; and his criticisms of the various alleged shortcomings of Washington, Jefferson; Patrick Henry, Franklin and other early American patriots. Speaking of the Father of His Country, Professor Charming is quoted as describing him as "a man of unsurpassed temper, without large brain power'' He added: ''The strong, square jaw that is pictured to us came to Washington because he

 A few weeks since it was pointed out that the White .Leghorns were not really contributing their share Of the eggs, this, however, is no longer true. Last week they laid little beyond their proratat proportion as they pro duced 37 per cent of the eggs that were collected last week whereas they constitute only 35 per cent of the birds entered in the competition

Tacoma's Apple Crop Nearly Gone

Tacoma - Homegrown apples are
about gone for the season, say local
commission men. Supplies on hand
now are going at a better price and
this increases the sales Of Eastern
Washington apples, which were held
back earlier in the season because of
low prices of the home product. The
crop of local apples was good one
this season and many apples were sold,
the dealers and growers both benefit
ing. Eastern Washington apples hold
steady.
Grapes are reported gone for the
season. The holiday trade cleaned up
what supplies were on hand and deal
ers say the weather is too cold now to
bother with such commodity. This
season saw more grapes sold on the
local market than ever before. There
were many varieties offered and all
were of an exceptional quality that
was maintained throughout the season.
One of the features of the season was
the way in which the grapes were
packed for the holidays, some coming
in cork-packed kegs and others in lug
boxes.
Vegetables with the exception OF
the root varieties are gone and there
is no damage to be expected from cold
weather. Shipments of tomatoes from
California are becoming smaller.
Sweet potatoes are arriving regularly.

-Seattle's city firemen and the EN-.

the use OF oxygen apparatus at the
United States Bureau Of Mines rescue
station on the campus of the Univer.
sity OF Washington.
Last month 20 firemen from differ
ent stations in the city were given the
course of instruction, and 20 more are
registered this month. Night classes
are conducted for those whose hours
OF employment prevent day attend

A recent student in the rescue sta
tion was Mr.. X. A. Dye, member OF
the bureau of mines staff, who was
on his way from Washington, ID. c.,
to Alaska, where he will be the assist
ant of Sumner Smith, United States
inspector OF mines.
The station Is adding to its equip
ment a lamp testing gallery similar
to that used in the Pittsburg station
operated by the government In this
gallery various mixtures OF explosive
gases and air will be made, and with
the aid of fans to give velocity the
gas will be driven against sundry
types Of safety lamps in an endeayor
to determine under what circum-
stances an ignition and explosion will
follow. The attempt is TO duplicate
varying conditions in mines where
sometimes a concussion following the
falling Of rock and the subsequent
rush of air may force gas into the
lamps and cause disasters. Methods
of testing for the presence Of gas will
be taught in connection with the use
OF the new apparatus. The gallery
will occupy a space Sxl0 feet.
