Carranza Cleyer-GeneraI Carranza
has proved that he is at least clever
If ungrateful-by threatening to order
a strike of his New London delegates
If President Wilson does not immedi-
ately withdraw Pershing's force from
Mexican territory. Profiting by the
example of the Brotherhood presi.
dents, Carranza has notified his repre-
sentatives at New London that the
time to gain concessions and surren-
ders from the Wilson administration
is now-on the eve of the election-and
not after the election is over. He has
instructed them to heed the example
of the Brotherhood chiefs and that II
they do so they are certain to gain
success, whereas, If they permit them
selves to be fiattered and entertained
and cajoled after the Presidential cleo
ton, they may be able to gain moth
ing worth while. His first demand,
and 1t is peremptory one, is that
President Wilson order Pershing's
force and all American troops off Mex
lean soil. and he has told his dele
gates to make that demand so plain
that there can be no Misunderstanding
about it. The willy old Mexican has
plumbed the purpose of the
Wilson administration to tide things
over until after the election, and he
will have none Ct it,

For Value ReceiVed-The Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen has sent an
appeal to all its members to vote for
President Wilson and defeat "our enc
miles," while it is intimated that each
of the other Brotherhoods which prof
tied by the Wilson-Adamson wage in
crease law will do the same. The
course of the Brotherhoods is, of
course, merely the payment of a just
debt, a service rendered for value re-
ceived in advance. If not specifically
agreed to in advance, It doubtless was
well understood by those leaders of
the administration who first precipi-
tated the railway-wage crisis and then
forced Congress to enact a law which
gave a 25 per cent. increase of wages
to the rs per cent. of railway employees
represented by the brotherhoods. Opin
ion, even among the brotherl1UUds is,
however, by no means unanimous that
they are obligated by President Will
sons great gift to vote for him. A. n,

ductor at Albany as saying to Gov.

War PrOsperity-The total exports
from the United States for the year
ending June 80, 1916, amounted to $4,-
1913, 65S,0OO. According to the New
York Times. which is enthusiastically
supporting President Wilson and
which has made a careful study of the
subject, three-fourths of these exports
constituted war trade. That is, of the
export trade of the United States dur
ing the year ending June 80, $S,249,-
100000 was due solely to the European
war. What does that mean? 1t means
that the amount received from the war
trade would be more than sufficient to
pay 100000 workmen $3.50 a day for
an entire year, of 3l2 days. What is to
become, then, of at least 5000, 90.
American workmen when the end o!
the war cuts off this trade? Actually.
a far greater number of workmen viii.
be affected because, of course, the sum
received for war supplies was divided
between material and labor, with 4
percentage of profit to the employer
1t is a reasonable assumption in view
of the character of the war exports
that labor did not receive more thai
half of the sum paid to the UniteI
States for war supplies. OF course
some workmen received much more
than $3.50 per day. Others receive,
less but allowing for these variations
and for the share which went for ma |
terial, rent of buildings, interest oil
plant, wear and tear of machinery anC |
profit, it is a perfectly rea.
sonable assumption mat not less than
5 100000 workmen were paid their
wages out of the receipts for war ma
terials. Does it take a college profess
sor, or even politician to figure out
that the greatests need of this coun-
try today is industrial preparedness

now to protect itself against the TERRI

Floating Mass of Pumice

From the Popular Mechanics Magazine.
 A mass of floating pumice some five miles in width and of unknown length, was encountered by party which was recently cruising in a lotion motorboat among the Fiji Islands and other groups Pumice is lava having a frothy or spongy structure which has been thoroughly per- meated by gases. It is often so porous as to float on the water for a considerable time after being elected from a volcano, but after it's pores are filled with water it sinks to the bottom. it's specific grav- ity being nearly two and one-half times that of water. The edge of the unusual ly large mass discovered by these voy- agers seemed like floating froth and dust and the boat moved through it easily But later on there was difficulty in mak- ing headway, and at times the craft was brought almost to a standstill The pro- at each revolution and occasionally the pilot steered to one side to avoid solid masses, as much as four feet in tiame- ter. In some places the pumice was so compact that a native was able to stand on small plank thrown on the top of it. The spongy material clogged the pipes of one of the engines, which had to be taken apart for repairs. It took nearly two hours to pass through this floating mass, which, on the sides, reached as far as the eye could see.

Jon the slxty-third anniversary, March 8. of the landing in Japan of Perry, the Amer lcan commodore, the Yokohama Histor- lcal society petitioned the city of Yoko- fama to mark the landing place in some flttlng manner. Commodore Perry opened up Japan to the western world.
 The spot where the famous American officer set foot on Japanese soil is now within the compond of the British con- sulate general and the British will prob- ably be asked to authorize the commem- oration. President Sokabe of the histor- 1cal society has also asked the mayor Of Yokohama to preserve a camphor tree which is standing in the same com pound as sacred emblem. It was under this tree that the first treaty of amity between the United States and Japan was signed. Perry subscribed for the United States and Lord Hayashi repre- senting the Tokugawa Shogunate. for Japan.

 The United States will be the only foreign nation having 8 special section at the exposition and the organizers are making every effort to make it a suc- cess, in view of the considerable extent to which France will have to rely upon the United States for material to be used in the reconstruction of war-wasted towns.

 Furniture, it is thought, will be in great demand after the war and that the United States will be called upon to furnish a considerable part of it. It must be of moderate cost and France produces only furniture of the highest grades. Even wealthy people will provisionally restore their house furnishings modestly to be- gin with, being unable to find epoch fur niture in the quantities in which it will be required so as to make their chateaus. villas, etc.. comfortable immediately they
