WASTE OF FERTILIZERS

A serious situation races the
farmers in their spring planting. In
nc other recent period has the neces-
sity of going bach to old-tme meth
DDS, when the farm provided it's own
fertilizer, been so urgent.
In 1913 the value of commercial
fertilizers used in the United States
was about $125,2SO,OOO. This in
cluded the potash salts, more than
$20,000,000, practically all from
Germany; nearly 100000 of am
monium sulphate from England,
which as we'll as the potash has
been shut off, and the nitrate of
soda from Chile, which is used al
most entirely now for greenhouse
and trucking purposes.

A NEW SUBMARINE PUZZLE

Greeks come, bearing gifts. Ger
many sends its ambassador to tell
the United States Government that
German submarines operating in the
Mediterranean are required to be
good; if any Of them violate the i'm
structions, their commanders will be
punished. If a German submarine
torpedoed the Persia, in violation of
these instructions, Germany will
make it right with this country. Pas
sengers and crews on merchant ships
in the Mediterranean are to have
their safety insured before the YES
sells are destroyed. Furthermore,
Germany proposes thus tardily that
she will pay indemnity for the
American lives lost in the Lusitania
sinking.
All this comes without warning,
and utterly unexpected. Germany
heretofore has cultivated the i'm
preston that she was operating no
submarines in the Mediterranean. It
would appear now that Germany is
to assume responsibility for the
sinking of the Persia, and that she
is clearing the way to do this, by
Offering to- settle the Lusitania af-
fair, and announcing some rules that
will make it possible for her to
avoid governmental responsibility
and instead impose the blame on an
undersea commander.
The whole performance will at
least bear watching. It looks and
sounds like a devious scheme to get
Austria out Of tight hole, in its
relations with the United States,
and shoulder the whole affair over
onto Germany, after first getting
Germany into such a posture that
she can more gracefully accept it
than Austria could.
Amid all the letter writing and
note exchanges from the beginning
of maritime massacre in this war, it
will be observed that nothing has
transpired that stopped or lessened
the savagery of the proceeding. The
promise, coming now, that a Lusi-
tania indemnity will be paid, does
not mean any more than that if an
other mistake" like the Lusitania is
perpetrated, more indemnity will be
paid if Americans suffer, and an
other commander will be punished"
That does not restore the lives to,
victims. Neither does it help in
sure the freedom of the seas to
commerce. To accept that Germany
may go on killing innocents on the
sea, on condition that she will "pun-
ish" a submarine officer and pay
some paltry dollars for the Ameri-
can lives lost, is only to admit that
at such price we barter away the
great right of free seas, safe seas,
wOrld-owned seas.
The new German communication
suggest that a trap is being pre-
pared, and that if the United States
falls into it we are liable to emerge
from this submarine controversy in
worse condition than we were i'm
mediately after the Lusitania dis
aster. Surely the experience Of the
last eight months is enough to
warn that we shall place no trust in
promises which repeatedly have been
violated almost as they were in the
making.

CONCRETE PAN-AMRRICANIsM

There has been a mass, a be-
wildering mass, of conversation dur
ing the past week about uniting the
American republics. Much of the
talk about creating a unity of
thought, feeling, and purpose, has
been vague and indefinite. Out of
it, some have felt, has come little in
the way of plans for bringing this
about.
The concrete suggestions made ~
Nine. Ernestina A. Lopez de Mel

The Times last evening, are refresh

bringing about a greater solidarity
among Americans has been that the

turned to Europe. ave have com

Nine. Nelson regards the "great-
est sin against Pan-Americanism"

schools. Instead of delving into the
history of Europe, and even touch

have some attention paid to the his

Why Do Men Become Counterfeitcrs?
 (NeW York WOrld).

Has any one ever made a fortune by counterfeiting money? Has any counterfeiter, indeed, ever made 8 !iv- ing comparable with what he might have earned by the exercise of a similar degree of skill and industry?
 The question is prompted by the seizure by secret service agents of an elaborate plant on Staten Island, ap- parently designed for the manufa acture of bogus treasury notes and silver cer- tif1cates. The equipment included an expensive photographic apparatus, lthogra phic and other presses, etch- ing, engraving and electrotyping out fits and supplies of costly paper and ink 1t em mbraced in fact, all the fit tings of a complete printing and pho- to-engraving business. Tn the hands of men of honest industry, with far less technical skill than that required to run the plan successfully on 1lle- gitimate lines, it could have been made to yield an immediate income and could probably have been de- veloped into a lucrative business.
 As 1t is, the costly machinery is con- fiscated before operations are begun. It is a trite saying that crime does
 
 crime less profitable in the long run, and as measured by the talent and preparation needed for it, than coun- terfeiting? Burglary necessitates no apprenticeship But a cOunterfeiter must be skilled workman, to begin with, and once embarked on his ne- farious calling he Is suspect. not alone by the tradesmen who change his bad bills for him but by the most ef1- cient of detective institutions. the gov ernment secret service From tha time he first falls into the clutch, q of the law until he dies he is watched and the amount of money he can make and circulate under the most favorable conditions is negligible bv comparison with what he might earn honestly.
 Why men should aspire to he co,,n- terfeiters while possessing a skill that is readily marketable for exca11o,+ wages is one of the mysteries of hu- man nature. Does 8 perverted bride of craftsmanship of the old ordor survive in the counterfeiter and actn- ate him in the error of his ways?

v. 5. Fisheries N0W H0ld
 Lead Among AZ Nations

Washington, D. C., Aug. 22.-Flesh and fowl may fail us, but Americas S fish supply is going on forever. ac- cOrdlng to censuses of the finny tribes which inhabit our lakes. streams and coast waters from Alaska to the Florida Keys. Dr. Hugh M. Smith, the leading authority in this country on the subject, tells of Amer ica's surpassing fisheries in a com municatiOn to the National Geo. graphic society now made public in the following bulletin:
 With the acquisition of Alaska there came to Us marine resources of such transcendent value as to over shadow all other natural products and to give the United States fisheries the leading place among the nations.
 The creatures which support our fisheries are not all fish, but belong In various classes some of those con- tributing most notably to the import ance of the industry being crustaceans and mollusks. The total annual value of our fisheries at the present time Is approximately $76,0O0,OOO.
 The most numerous fish of econ- omic importance on the east coast of the United States is the >menhaden which Is known also by a large num- Der of other names, some of them in- appropriate and misleading. It is a member of the herring family; goes in great schools in the ocean, bays, and sounds, and supports a fishery from Maine to Florida.
 Although the menhaden is a pal atable food fish, it's principal value now, as in the past, is for conversion into oil and fertilizer. At times it is exceedingly fat, and yields a cheap grade of oil much used in the indus tries, while the part remaining after the extraction of the oil is rich in amm onia and is one of the best fer til1zers whether employed alone CT in combination with other ingredients The chief purpose, however,, which the menhaden serves Is as food for numerous valuable fishes along the entire coast. It forms at times the principal diet of bluefish, swordfish squeteague, mackerel, Spanish mack erel, etc., and often when we eat these fishes we are really consuming trans formed menhaden. The abundance or scarcity of menhaden in a given season or on a given part of the coast may determine the abundance or scarcity of various important food fishes; and for this reason in addition to immediate value to man, it has by some persons been regarded as the coast of the United States.

old line Republicans in New Britain are free to admit that Hughes is the biggest disappointment they have had to contend with in ages. And other towns around the state are eXper1enc- ing the same condition The Repup- licans of years standing are not en- thusiasefc over their candidate, some thing usually unheard of. The lead- ing member of the party ln New Britain has come out in the pubic prints with a denunciatiOn of the can didates campaign methods and there are humber soldiers in the ranks of the party who frankly admit they are going to vote against Hughes. So California is not the only state in the Union sore plexed on this thought of the day.

is near. This is because of the very nature of the railroad business. Rail- reading may be simple to those who spend their lives at it; to those who pursue other occupations 1t simply means the running and stopping of trains. The technical difficulties to be surmounted before a complete grasp of the situation can be had are innumerable. Whether the eight hour day is practicable from an operating standpoint may be easy to see. Whether it can be made a sue cess from a financial point of view is quite another thing. There are so many details involved, so many Ques
 tions of rate and time and schedule crew efficiency and other things to be considered that an expert would be baffled. But if the public does noa know or understand these things it does know there must be some way out of the dilemma and that if the two sides cannot find a way at the present moment they can adjust their differences after an experiment has been conducted. This, the President Of the United States has suggested. He invites the brotherhoods and the railroad executives to try out the eight hour day for what it is worth, patch ing up the minor difficulties If in the end it is found impossible to grant the men their concessions without serious loss, the case can be presented to the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion and new schedule of rates pro- mulgated. The question is therefore u1, to one side or the other. the rail- road executives or the brotherhoods.

Campaign Slogans Past and Present

Hughes has raised the standard of America first and America efficient" :" Thank God for Wilson" is the an swer of the dem Ocrats. But compare these keynotes with the campaign slO- gans of yesterday.
 At the approach of every national campaign" writes "Zim" in Cartoons Magazine, "the cartoonist casts about for a symbol or some suitable mode of attacking the political foe or uplifting his own candidate. Thus Bernhard Gillam's famous 'Tattooed Man de- feated James G. Blaine. It was a cartoon likewise that returned William Mckinley to the White House. This was Grant E. Hamilton's Full Din her Pail cartoon, and the Full Din ner Pail was taken up as a campaign slogan.
 50 popular, in fact, was this nov city that both Mark Hanna and Will liam Mckinley after election, compli- mented Hamilton for his great work in the campaign and declared that the dinner-pail idea, more than Mark Hanna's campaign manageme ent, se- cured for MT. Mckinley the presidency of the United States. The public at large is not always aware of what hap pens behind the scenes in a news paper office, for if 1t were, 1t might have seen a novel presentation of a mammoth tin dinner pail filled with tobacco, wines and cigars to one Ham ilton, as Ia token of love and in rec ognition of his ingenuity. The Full Dinner Pail will go down in political cartoon history as one of the greatest hits because it's spoke the truth and added a clean and inoffensive ele- ment to the cam paign."

A Big War Fortune.
(Meriden ReCOrd.)

J. F. Morgan the elder, although re-
 of his country, didn't really know how to make money. The present J. F.
 Morgan is said to have made as much
 in the last two years as his father
 made in his whole career. or at least
 as much as he left at his death.
 The elder Morgan found his op-
 portunity in the consolidation of
 American industries into trusts The
 younger Morgan found his opportun- ity in the European war. And he has made the most of it.
 Under a contract with the British government the Morgan firm has re- ceived a commission of two per cent. on all munitions and supplies pur- chased by the allies in this country. Those purchases have amounted to about $2,O00, 100000 so far. It like
 wise gets a banking commission on all loans raised here for foreign govern ments. Such loans are said to aggre- gate at present about $500, ,OoO, 900. There are also commissions for selling many hundred million. dollars worth of foreign owned American securities l for the British government, and cOm- | missions for call loans and commts- 1 sions for stabtlizing British exchange. 1 Tn fact, it's hard to imagine any mon- | etary phase of the war that doesn't | bring In commissions to the House of 1 Morgan.
 It's a record In which MT. Morgan 1 as a business man may justly take 1 pride. But the comparison is by no 1 means all in his favor. The elder
 Morgan was more than 8 money-mak- | CT good mart Of life Q 1 devoted more attention to art than l to business The art collections he l left were worth nearly as much as his l business investment The younger
 Morgan cares so little for art that
 he is rapidly selling and scattering l those collections.

Travelling in Safety.
Philadelphia Inuuirer)

In the last thirty months the Penn sylvania system, including all lines east and west of Pittsburgh, has trans ported 454 ,000,000 passengers without a single loss of life. This Is an as- tonishing record. It means that what amounts to four -one-half times the population of the country have made a trip in safety and the total mileage equals about one-ninth the distance from here to the sun.
 Compare such a record with tho safety of the ordinary pedestrian. In this city during the first half of he year about sixty persons were killed by autom obles alone. Many tres passers on the tracks of the Penn sylvania have been killed and many who have not needed warnings Un- fortunately, some of the employees of the company have lost their lives, but the passengers have been transported in safety. According to these figures, the safest place in the world for man is on one of the Pennsylvania trains.
