A SHAKESPEARE SUCCESSION

With the announcement that E.
H. Sothern would leave the stage at
the end of the current season, join
ing in retirement Julia Marlowe,
playgoers will receive with pleasure
the news that Margaret Anglin and
William Faversham have joined
forces to take the place Of the here
tofore Shakespearean leaders of the
American stage.
Margaret Anglin has had wide
and varied opportunity since she was
graduated from the Empire Dra-
matte School, where she was one Of
the four leading pupils engaged by
Charles Frohman at the commence
ment of 1894, and from that time
to the present she has been climb
ing in artistic favor.
Faversham, before he became a
star, had the opportunity of playing
with E H. Sothern, Mrs. Fiske, and
other well-known and capable play
ers. He has created any number of
roles, so striking in themselves as
to stand out distinctly in memory.
Margaret Anglin and Faversham
appear as the legitimate successors
in Shakespeare of Sothern and Julia
Marlowe. May their work be profit
able to them and worth while for
the public,

WORLD EXPORTS INCREASE

The swift rise of our imports in
recent months, has been pointed out.
There is little doubt that we are
now going an import clip of some
$2,000,000,0O0 a year. Even when
there was no war we never looked
forward to an import record by this
country of two billions a year.
A table of international trade sta
tistics compiled by the National City
Bank shows how the foreign bust
ness of trading nations not under
blockade was well on its way to re-
adjustment virtually within one
year from the outbreak of the war.
To judge what is ahead of us in
the way of further increases of our
imports even before the war shall
end, and then to picture what can
happen to US when all the produc-
tive forces of the Old World are
again at work, it is worth while to
examine these statistics.
In the seven months preceding the
war the exports of the United King
dom ranged between a minimum OF
$194, 100000 in June and 1892 900 600
in January. In August they fell to
$117,700,000, and in no month dur
ing the rest of that year did they
touch $140,000,000. In January of
1915 they We're nearly 100000, 900
below January of 1914; in February
some $70,000,000 below February of
1914, and in March some $7O,O0O,O 900
below the previous March. In April,
however, the exports Of the United
Kingdom had risen to $156, 100000,
running thereafter: May $163,5OO,-
900; June, $161, 100000; July, $685.
100000; August, $157, 100000; Sep
tember, $157 100000.
From an average of some $110,-
100000 a month in the first half OF
1914, the exports of France sank to
SAT, 100000 in August, and then ran
$32, 100000 in September, $34, 100,
600 in October, and 29,100,0O0 in
November. From March, 1915, ia

USE THE YOUNG MEM

In his address urging prepared
ness for citizenship by inviting the
young men to participate in the
work of the citizens associations,
President P. T. Moran, of the Cham
ber of Commerce, brought to the
Mid City citizens last night doc
trine that would help to prevent re-
currence of the misunderstanding
and pickering which attend the dis
cussion of all questions of civic bet
terment.
Preparedness by educating the
young men in the fundamentals of
good citizenship would make un-
necessary an extended campaign of
education every time a question of
vital concern to the community is
to be decided. 1t would build up a
body of citizens who would know
their responsibilities and be willing
and anxious to accept them.
The question of what to do with
the young man is more easily dis
posed of in republic than under
any other form of government.
Growing boys and callow youths
have a keen idea of their own i'm
portance; they are made into surly
men and careless citizens by the at
tltude a community usually assumes,
of treating this feeling as a joke.
They are made into good citizens by
treating it seriously and giving
them opportunity to demonstrate
their Importance.
Mr.. Moran is doing a service by
preaching this doctrine. If the
young men of Washington can be
gathered into the citizens associa-
tions, placed on committees, and
given place in the deliberations, the
matter of building up the city can
take care of itself. 1t is not a diff
cult thing to do. Every citizens as
sociation has a host of committees.
Let the young men be taken in. Let
them do the work, prove their abil-
ity, and develop ideas.
Preparedness, like charity, begins
at home; and preparedness for the
defense of the neighborhood against
Ignorance and lack of enterprise is
preparedness for defense of the ma
tion against foreign physical foe in
the very best sense of the word.

NEWSPAPERS IN THE SCHOOL

A few sensitive persons may be
shocked at the news from Brooklyn,
n. Y, that newspapers instead of
the usual text books, are to be used
in teaching foreign pupils the Eng
lish language.
The principal of one of the schools
doing this explains that he not only
believes the forceful and colloquial
diction of the newspapers a good
thing for those learning our tongue,
but he thinks foreigners will be in
terested in reading about current
events as they study the new Ian
guage.
He might have added that the
aliens should read the newspapers
for the same reason that many
school officials have ruled that ma
tive pupils should read them; be-
cause these records of the days
happenings in national and civic
affairs arouse that sort of interest
in community and national life the
school pupil needs to have stimu-
lated.
In schools of many large cities
including Washington, newspapers
are read and certain time each
week is devoted to the discussion OF
current topics. Here there are even
courses in the high schools which
carefully examine daily newspapers
with a view of training those who
may wish to work upon them.
In the case of the foreigners the
newspaper brings them the news

THE STORY OF, STEEL IS THE
STORY OF THE NATION


pinnacle of prosperity on which this
country is now poised than the al
most magic transformation which
has come over the business of the
United States Steel Corporation in
less than a year.
1t was only last March that the
quarterly report of this, the greatest
single manufacturing industry in the
country, perhaps in the whole wide
world, showed such low net earnings.
at $12,457, ,SO9, that no dividend at
all was paid on the common stock,
though it previously had been cut
from an annual rate Of per cent to
an annual rate of per cent, when
the December quarter had given less
than $11,OO0,OOO.
Yesterday the dividends were re-
stored at the annual rate Of per
cent on the common shares. But it
was not this dividend which electri-
ned the nation; it was the statement
of profits for the three months end
ing with December 81 last. This
showed net earnings for that single
quarter of $51 1882, 1888!
. In the autumn of 1914 and the
spring of 1915 a pauper, with every
body wondering whether even the
future of the preferred were secure.
and at the coming of the new year
a prince, with earnings more than
eight times the amount required to
pay a quarterly dividend on the COM
mon at the annual rate of s per
cent! Earnings all but five times as
big as in the year before. two and a
half times as big as in the quarter
before and not far from three times
as big as the first quarter of 1914!
And undoubtedly even this is not
the whole story of Steel. What is to
be borne in mind in considering this
exhibit of vast earning power so soon
after the impoverished returns
which followed the outbreak of the
war is that some of the business of
the quarter which has earned more
than $51 100000 net was done under
old' contracts made at lower prices
than obtain now for all the business
that can be handled by plants work
ing at full capacity. Every old order
filled means greater profits on the
new order succeeding it. And so it
may we'll be that the earnings for
the December quarter will be thing
of wonder only until there shall
come the statement of the earnings
of this current quarter to stagger
the imagination.
But the wonder of all the treasure
gathered in this country while the
Old World was at war will never
fade within the memory of long gen.
erations; for it is not only Steel.
putting profits divided into the
pockets and profits undivided to the
credit OF rich men holding many
shares each and poor men holding
few. The story of Steel is the story
of the nation, with the farm of the
West and of the South, the mill and
! factory of the North and of the East,
the lumber camp, the mine, the live
stock range, and the dairy-all
minting money for the American
people at work, while 100000 of
her fellow men strain and struggle
on the battlefields of Europe.
