NO WATcHFUL WAITING HERE.

Santo Domingo probably will continue TO
present tserious difficulties to the Unteot
States until the black republic has been licked
into submission to law and order, but there IS
no telling. as things stand now, how much
longer the presence Of American marines VIII
be required in the VIGOROUSLY disorderly island
The present revolution is headed by an IN
surgent named Arias Several clashes between
American marines and Dominican rebels nave
taken place lately in the vicinity OF Santo Do
mingo City Comparatively little attention has
been paid to the trouble by Americans at home,
partly because the war correspondents have
been busy in other quarters; but "serious diff
cuties'' must be expected or else Washington
would hardly find it advisable to have sixteen
warships and three thousand marines scattered
along the Dominican coast
It is a nasty mess, especially in view OF the
circumstance that while Arias is regarded as an
upstart, .Jiminez, the former president, whom
Uncle Sam seems willing to support, cannot be
induced to get back on the job No doubt the
presidency Of the Dominican republic is an UNI
berth, especially to one who has tired
it and escaped with his life; but either Jiminez
or someone somehow acceptable to the Wash
ington overseers must go in and show sufficient
backbone or else this protectorate business
must go on unfortunately.

TOO MANY ORGANIZATIONS

What feared would be the result of too
many organizations to relieve distress in the
stricken nations of Europe is the result. Early
in the war the sympathetic people Of the United
States were warned to unite upon the Red
Cross as the medium for the distribution Of the
millions that would be raised for the relief of
the distressed. the Red Cross to respect the
wishes of donors with regard to specified ma
tions and specified spheres
The New York Times has been nquiring in
to the matter and has discovered that there are
no less than thirty-two agencies in existence
for the relief of many groups. Each of these
organizations has its set of officers its paid
subordinates, its separate stationery and
printed material, its headquarters and the vari-
Gus other overhead charges which are newt
able in any such task. No accurate estimate is
given of the total amount of money expended
by these thirty-two organizations in offering
and managing these funds, but that it is a pret
ty considerable sum is Indicated by the cost of
maintaining permanent charitable and phIan-
thropic institutions. The practical side of the
church unity movement deals with the immense
saving in administration and the enlarged OPP
portunity for service that must follow in conse-
quence.
1t is not difficult to explain why it is so
many organizations are thought necessary to
perform the work required The emotional and
personal equation enters into that and explains

coPPERING RUSSIAN TRADE.

Henry Lander, of the Moscow Chamber OF
Commerce, who is in this country to promote
better commercial relations between the United
States and Russia, has been wakening interest
by his speeches before various organizations.
Russia is an immense country. With its pos
sessions, it comprises one-seventh OF the land
surface of the globe and has population OF
nearly 13O,0OO,OOO. Mr.. Lander has much per-
tinent information and advice for American
manufacturers. but the fact remains that his
principal argument for great development OF
trade with Russia is a sentimental one. The
Russian market is peculiar market, = he says;
s.there are no more loyal friends in business
relations than are the Russians, once you have
won their confidence All this is true, no
doubt, but the fact remains that after the war
Russia will give US only such preference as our
trade availability warrants. We are a great
grain raising country; SO is Russia. We make
machinery which Russia needs but SO does Ger
many. and Germany will need grain where we
shall not This is not sentiment but it is the
sort of thing which will determine Russian
trade procedure.

REMOVE THE STRIKE MENACE.

The public had hoped that the menace OF a
general railroad strike would be removed dur
ing the conference between representatives OF
the transportation companies and the brother
hoods. but developments at New York make it
clear that the roads and their employees are far
apart on the question of wages and hours OF
service. Neither side can afford the loss that
would be inevitable if the MEN quit work On
the other hand, it is evident that the companies
could not grant. all the demands without in
creasing their charges for service, and this they
cannot do without the consent of the Interstate
commerce commission In the meantime the
public, which is the chief party in interest, IS
helpless. Sooner or later way must be found
to remove the strike menace by making it Ger
tain that work will not be interrupted while
public service corporations and their employees
are seeking adjustment of differences. The
sooner the better.

WASHINGTON June 16.-The last
possible chance of any real differ

party platform carpenters having
been removed by acceptance verbatim
of his ringing plank on hyphenism,
thereby making harmony a total win

today became an active candidate for
reelection. 1t became known only to-
day how determinedly the president
insisted on that .Americanism plank.
When intimation reached the white
house last night that certain mem

we're showing signs of baking on the
presidents language, he notified his
personal representatives at st. Louis
that he was running on the plank he
outlined and he would not consent to
any sort of "pussyfooting" on this
plank, nor would he stand for even
the crossing Of a T or the dotting o.

suite adornments. Moreover, while
Johnson moved himself close, Arthur
