W. W'S. CLA SH WITH CITIZENS
 IN WASH.

A pitched battle between the Indus trial Workers of the World and a citizens posse led by the sheriff of Everett, Washington, resulting in the death of and seriously wounding of nearly 50 people on both sides to the combat occurred on Saturday last.
 There has been a strike on for some time at Everett, of the Shingle Weavers and the I. w. w. sym pathizers of Seattle to the number of 25O chartered two boats at Seattle and proceeded to the scene of the strike. It seems that the Everett citizens committee expelled number of I. W. W's. some time previous and the Seattle contingent went there for the purpose Of protest.
 On arrival they were refused per mission to land by the sheriff and posse of armed men, when a shot was fired, Git is claimed by the sheriff) from the boat; immediately a general fusilade was participated in by both sides in which 1000 shots were ex- changed resulting in the killing of 5 men and the wounding of 26 I. w. W's. and one man killed and 19 wounded on the dock
 The engineer of the boat had the presence Of mind to back the boat away from the dock and returned with the killed and wounded to Seattle. On arriving there the boat was met by the Seattle sheriff with a posse and a large force of police armed with rifles and shotguns, and placed all the I. W. w. they could find under arrest and conveyed them to prison. The captain of the boat described the affair as follows:
 When the Verona returned from Everett she showed many bullet wounds in her sides and most of her windows were broken. Of the six teen windows in the pilot house in which Captain Chance Wyman was standing at the wheel when the firing began, only one remains whole. One was pierced by twenty-seven bullets Only two of the crew and officers, numbering eight, escaped the fusilade, but none was seriously wounded Captain Wyman, Steward l.. s. Davis and Fireman Arthur Sullivan of the Verona declared that the first shot came from one of the Industrial Work CTS on the boat. Capt. Wyman said:
 We had just touched the dock at Everett and we had a spring line fast when Sheriff McRae appeared on the dock You can't come ashore; you can't come ashore. Who's the lead er?" Sheriff McRae shouted at the crowd.
 By this time as many as could crowded into the bow Of the boat, on the cabin or promenade deck. The crowd was not twenty feet distant Sheriff McRae's remarks were ad dressed to the crowd. Not me. was at the wheel in the pilot house His remarks were laughed and shout ed at.

KITCHENER SEEMS TO HAVE
 AS MANY LIVES AS VILLA

It seems that Kitchner like Villa won't say dead. The following is the latest emination of pipe-dream Swiss merchant who has turned up in Los Angeles:
 Kitchner of Khartoum, Englands greatest warrior of modern times, who was supposed to have gone to the bot tom of the Atlantic when a mine blew up the cruiser Hampshire, is now in India, according to Max Guenther, a Swiss merchant travelling over the United States, who came up from San Diego Friday and related the tale yes

Guenther also stated that the re- port concerning the Deutschland's de- lay in arriving in this country on ac- count of accident is false, declaring it was the Bremen that was forced to return to port for repairs and not Cap. tain Koenig's submarine, and that the Bremen should arrive in America any hour, as it was scheduled to leave Bremen day after Guenther's mis- sive was mailed.

tic and foreign field, should know the
fundamentals Of business arithmetic,
and have a practical knowledge Of
business ofic9 routine.
When equipped with these essen
tials he advised young men to study
the routine Of manufacturing vari-
Gus products, including the costs Of
production, to learn commercial law,
to study domestic and foreign
markets, and to make a systematic
study Of ocean-borne transportation.
This is an ambitious program. But
it gives an idea of the thoroughness
with which young man who intends
to enter the foreign commercial field
must go about his preparation. It
is a program that would do credit
to anyone who was studying a pro-
fession, and it emphasizes the fact
that business is becoming a profess

GETTING THE MUzZLE

Denmark occupies a position,
among all the worlds neutrals, less
difficult only than that of Greece.
Germany covets the little northern
country; Britain regards it's con-
tinued independence, as a buffer,
only less important than that of Bel
gium.
Danish diplomacy and good sense
have kept the country out of trouble
thus far; but it has been an eGuil-
ibristic feat of the most impressive
sort.
1t is apparent, then, that the COM
ing of the harum- m-scarum "peace ex-
pedition" from America must give
real concern to the Danish authori-
ties. The country is divided in sym
pathies, complicated with all manner
of difficult economic relationships.
It's greatest need is to avoid every
discussion that may tend to sharpen
Iacerbities and separate factions. No
body in Denmark dares feel sure what
might result from entertaining such
an impossible propaganda as the
Ford expedition. The ordered of
fetal mind of conventional European
administration cannot conceive what
this newest American marvel in
shirt-sleeve methods may signify.
The only safe thing is to apply the
muzzle; and that has been done. The
peace party is to be kept strictly
under supervision. There will be no
public meetings, and functions of
all kinds will be censored with the
utmost care.
If the United States could have
found a way to apply some of the
same precaution before the peace
ship sailed away from here, the dig
nifty and self-respect of this country
would have been distinctly enhanced.

NEW YORK'S VISITORS
SEE BIG STORES FIRST
Formerly They Hastened 10 See
Grants Tomb, Eden MUGee, and
Other Landmarks.

That this is the age of commercialism
Is even shown by the visitors to New
York city. Formerly they hastened to
see Eden Musee. Grants tomb. and
other notable landmarks. Now their
first stop Is at the department stores.
and these seem to be a continual sur
prise and an ever-increasing source of
astonishment, says the Wall Street
Journal
1t is hard for the visitors to realize
that under one roof everything one
needs from the cradle to the cofHin can
be obtained. and with no more difficulty
or DELAY than the small-tOWn merchant
takes to wrap up a paper of pins. Few
realize what constant supervision musI
he exercised over every department TO
rec that losses are cut to the minimum.
and that not only every article must be
kept in its place, but also that tho ware
houses must be we'll stocked with goods
to take care of any early calls for re-
newing the stock.
An example of the high efficiency un-
dor which this class of stores Is run can
be seen in the fur storage department
OF one OF the local stores During the
past summer they stored more than
.0OJ articles. valued at nearly 81. coo. ON.
and their total losses on them were $25.

What will this nation do about it ?
STOCKS GOING TO THR PEoPL e

A summary of the reports of
ownership of securities of railroad,
industrial, and public utility corpor-
ations shows a considerable increase,
during 1915, in the number of stock
holders. Yet the increase is not so
great as it ought to be; indeed, it
is disappOintingly small considering
the great amount of foreign holdings
that have been absorbed by this
country.
Nothing would more strongly
make for popularizing the manage
ment and methods of the great pub
lie corporations, as a widespread
popular interest inspired by substan-
tial interest. We are told that at
the end of 1914 a group of twenty
three railroads, fourteen public
utilities and twenty-eight industriaIs
had 579,411 stockholders, while at
the end of 1915 the same companies
had 604,858. This is a gain in the
right direction; but it is not so great
a gain as is desirable. 1t should be
part of both the public and the
corporate administrative policies to
secure wider distribution of such
holdings. The United States Steel,
the International. Harvester, and
some other companies have insti-
tuted plans for bringing this to pass.
There is no great problem of corpor-
ate management, or of the admins
tration of utilities in the joint inter
est of owners and public, that would
not be made easier of solution if Sc
curities were as widely held, as gem
orally understood, in this country as
they are, say, in France and Great
Britain.

A sensation has been created in po-

a member of the French chamber Of

the discovery that a certain dress

has been greatly advertised through

As Mach A. G9O.OOO Has Been spent
To Get IL Men To Try Case.
(MeIviHe DdUissOn Post in Saturday
Evening POst)
A jury must be selected. Ordinarily
one would think that it would be no
trouble to select twelve men to hear
case. But so exacting are the rules
that in a capital case of Importance il
Is a matter OF the greatest difficulty to
get a jury. Hundreds of talesmen are
examined. Sometimes this examination
goes on for weeks The whole panel
may be interrogated without getting a
single Juror. 1t has cost as much as
$4,000 in some cases to get a jury. The
result OF the minute technicality of the
rules governing this feature OF the
game is that citizens competent for
jury service are sifted down to the most
unintelligent. and the administration of
justice Is thereby turned over to the
most ignorant and most irresponsible
persons in the community.
When such a jury Is selected, the trial
finally begins. Everything up to this
time has been merely preliminary. At
last the game is called to be played be-
fore a fury of the most unintelligent
persons that the attorney for the de-
fendant has been able to get on 1t, and
before a referee whose sole concern Is
so to conduct the game that he will not
violate any OF the rules.

THE SPANISH LANGUAGE

One significant by-product of the
meeting of the Pan-American Scien=
tific Congress in Washington is the
widespread revival of the interest in
speaking Spanish. Young men and
women who may have had a smat-
tering of the tongue got out diction-
aries and tried to follow the Span
ish accounts of the meetings in
newspapers and in the publications
of the congress. Even elevator boys
at hotels where there were delegates
and the shop girls and clerks at
stores were found making an effort
to "pick up" the tongue.
All this interest IN the language
which is the commercial speech Of
the nations to the south of us is
interesting, but James A. Farrell,
president Of the United States Steel
Corporation, in one of the most il
Illuminating addresses made last
week, made it clear that participa-
tion in commerce and industry with
South American nations requires
more preparation than the study of
their language. Only a few years
ago the fad for learning Spanish was
at its height, and commercial schools
were encouraging adventurous
spirits in the seeming belief that all
they needed to make their fortunes
in the Spanish speaking countries
was to learn the language and sail
in with that lingual equipment.
President Farrell, who also is
chairman of the National Foreign
Trade Council, placed first in his list
of requirements for a young man en-
gagged in foreign trade a thorough
knowledge of the particular business
IN which he was employed. Then he
insisted upon a well grounded lnowl-
edge of the English language. This
statement from business man goes
far to support the assertion of peda-
gogues that Americans have a habit
OF learning other languages before
they have mastered their own. The
speaker further urged that young
business men, whether in the domes-

TRADE WITH INDIA is
NEGLECTED BY u. S.
She Has the Market and America the
Goods, Rut Opportunity
Is Not Seized.

Now that. exports from Germany and
Austria to India have been stopped by
the war. II is interesting to see how few
American manufacturers have grasped
this rare opportunity of introducing
American goods to a market which is
rapidly expanding and with which we
are comparatively unfamiliar. says the
NetU York SUH.
During the past ten years India prac-
tically doubled the value of her imports,
and yet in that same period exports
from the United States to India showed
AN increase of only .25 per cent. The
United States now supplies one -fortieth
OF the merchandise imported by India.
The ever-growing Indian market for
foreign goods should be particularly
tempting to American manufacturers
owing to its demand for the
very goods that are extensively
In 1914 India imported engineering
products worth nearly $lS6, 100000. in
Guiding all kinds of machinery. iron.
steel, railway plants. motor cars, &c:

foods, biscuits, canned and bottled goods,
condensed milk. patent medicines. soap.
cigarettes. and beer amounted to Sl3,-
529 $40.
Japan, which for some years has en-
ioyed close commercial contact with
India. has not overlooked the present
opportunity to advance her industries

From a French source we learn that
the day OF the funnelless battleship Is
near at hand, says the Liverpool Jour
nal of Commerce. The details avail
able are very meager, and too inderi-
mite to be OF much interest, but the
idea is interesting because the title
"funnelless battleShip' expresses In ap-
pcsIte form one OF the most important
advantages incidental to a particular
method of propulsion.
In a merchant vessel tunnels do not
form a serious obstacle to the woFking
of the vessel, and owners have no de
sire whatever to possess motor-drven
vessels simply because they need not
be fitted with a funnel. The case OF
the battleship is very different. The
tunnels, especially in large, high-speed
ships, are not only in the way, but they
are positive danger. The designer
would be very pleased to see the run
nels disappear, because they seriously
interfere with the arcs OF training OF
his guns.
But the ships officers would be- stiA
better pleased because tunnels form aT

4 SORRY LYNcrlNo RECORD

While this country looks with
pride at its record for the past year
and grows especially mellow over
our civilization, as compared with
that of some warning nations, there
comes forth the announcement that
seventeen more >lynchings were
chalked up in 1915 than in 1914.
Fifteen States may take what
pride they wish from the fact that
they were in the lynching zone.
Georgia has the unenviable distinc-
ton of heading the list. In only
eleven of the sixty-nine lynchings was
the crime charged that one upon
which advocates of the "unwritten
law" base their claims to kill, with
out trial, those who commit it
Stealing hogs and poisoning mules
were among the other offenses for
which those strung paid their lives
without process of law.
In four of the cases absolute proof
later was forthcoming that the vic
Tins were not guilty. In other cases
the evidence against them was hazy.
Neither can it be claimed that the
lynChings were wholly racial prob
lem, for fourteen of those who met
death in this manner were white.
All indications point that the
whole question of lynching is not
question of race, but a problem in
civilization, which we might solve
before being too proud of our en-
lightenment.
