Conservation in the Concrete.

A veterinarian from Missouri speaking to the
convention in session here, says tina. il Ne
braska had had county veterinarian in every
county last year he could have saved swine
growers 100000. Whether the doctors figures
are accurate or not, his statement is significant Of
the economic waste ever present under our ex-
listing system or rather lack Of system, and
against which we make little or no effort Con-
seryation, expressed in simple terms, means to
safeguard against not only loss by reason OF swine
plague, but from any preventable source. Gath
erings Of learned men are continually preaching
to Us Of the need Of better ways, but we are very
slow to adopt them II is not because we lack
intelligence, but for some reason, difficult to de-
fine, we do not heed lessons 50 plain as that
taught the farmer in his experience with disease
among his animals. unwillingness to adopt bet
ter ways Of doing things ought not to subject US
to the tremendous economic loss involved, but

Problem Of the Submarine Merchantmen.

The Entente Allies are making formal protest
against recognition by this government Of the
submersible merchantmen. This natural move
ment is taking for its basis purely techncalrob-
lection, and one that lacks the support Of logic.
1t is argued that submarine is potentially, It not
essentially, warshp therefore all submersble
vessels must be excluded from immunity as mer-
chantmen. To carry this out to its reasonable
conclusion, all vessels potential warships,
therefore entitled to be listed as innocent
craft. Furthermore the United States very recently
determined dispute in favor OF the right OF mer-
chantmen to carry arms for defense against at
tack. This principle is capable Of easy extension
to the submarine, giving it the right to dive to
elude pursuit. As to the right of vessel to
change its character at sea- difference OF opin-
ion exists that is not easy to settle. Germany
claims that right and exercised it at the beginning
OF the war changing number Of passenger boats
into commerce estroyers Other great powers,
including the United States, object to the prac-
tice.
The Deutschland came peacefully on peace
full mission and is said to be but the first Of a
considerable fleet to engage in overseas traffic
1t is new note in warfare, for it does, to quote
Captain Koenig, unlock the seas" A blockade
can scarcely be maintained so long as these YES
sells are in service. Therefore, the British are
especially concerned in the protest lodged
A more interesting feature will be the cargo
to be carried back to Germany. The United
States has specifically engaged not to re-export
rubber sent IDS from British possessions Private
firms have similarly agreed not to export nickel
brought in from Canada. Germany particularly
wants nickel and rubber. II the Deutschland is
loaded with these staples the supply Of the United
States will be cut off. The greater part Of our
nickel comes from Canada, and more than 90 per
cent Of the worlds rubber supply Is provided
by the British plantations around Singapore.

Thrift, Insurance and Pensions.

Some impressive, il not actually startling,
statements have been made lately, under cond-
tons that bring them to the thoughtful with
more than normal conviction. The Carnegie
foundation, in announcing . new plan for COM
bination Of insurance with its teachers pension,
touches one Of the regrettable characteristics Of
the American nation. A professor. the founda.
ton report states, will cling to place that pays
him $1,000 rather than change to one Of $500
salary because the smaller paid position carries
with il the promise Of a pension at the end Of
thirty years service. He does not realize that
the difference in salary will pay for a support
much greater than the pension provides 1t is
also set out that the increase in pay does not lead
to continuation OF the thrift that would make
the desired condition possible.
At the meeting Of the National Educational
association in New York q speaker stated that
"thrty-fivc out Of every 100 widows find them
selves in absolute want and only eighteen find
themselves in circumstances that could be called
comfortable How accurate these figures are
cannot be said, but il they are only approx
mately correct, they constitute terrible indict-
ment Of Americans as people, II is a result Of
c;.rclessness, nexcusable because so many ways
Of avoiding this state are open to the husbands.
Compulsory insurance is drastic but II has its
advocates, and it may be questioned II the state,
which can compel man to look after his family
while living, may not also compel him to make
some provision for the care Of wife and children
after his death.
The Carnegie foundation plan amounts to
term insurance for prospective benefciaries OF
the pension the cost to be met by contributions
from the insured and from the institutions where
they are engaged, This may be step leading to
state insurance but it has the attraction OF point
ing way that will render widowhood less DESC
late.
