Bureau of Commerce
Stops Weekly Reports

Showing copper imports of $3.50 and
exports worth S5.663 ,S66 for the week
ended January Is, today's weekly state
ment was announced to be the last that
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce will issue.
Several weeks ago the Chamber OF
Commerce of the United States ques-
toned the accuracy of the weekly state
ments and the methods employed in pre-
pairing them. Secretary Redfleld was
informed that the aggregate figures OF
four weekly statements did not tally
with the statistics in the monthly state
ments. He then began an inquiry which
resulted in the following notice being
appended to tOday's copper statement:
at has been decided to discontinue
these weekly statements OF imports and
exports of copper after February 1, 1916.
THE statements were instituted soon
after the outbreak of the European war,
when. owing to the abnormal conditions
prevailing, the business public was in
need OF current information regarding
the general trade movement. Since the
! trade situation Shas become COMPARE
lively settled these statements are no
longer of sufficient Importance to JUS
tify their continuance. The extra work
involved in their compilation at the va
rious custom houses can, with ad-
vantage, be diverted to the regular
monthly reports which are much fuller
and more accurate and cover a period
| better adapted to comparative study"

DETENTION OF MAILS

THE heart of the question of the
detention of mails by 6elligerent 10
not whether they are going into or
Ginning out of an enemy country. 1t
isnot whether they are bound to or
from the United States. 1t is not
whether they arc carried in. Ameri-
can vessels. None of this in time Of
war is the fundamental principle
any more than in ordinary contra
band.
The question is whether mails are
being put to uses proper, under the
laws and customs of nations, or to
uses improper. The privileges of
first class mails are very distinctly
defined, and it should be very SIM
pie matter to determine, on the
actual facts of the contents of mail
interfered with by any belligerent,
whether those privileges are abused
Of are not abused.
No serious issue, therefore, is
liable to come out of the diplomatic
negotiations now on between the
British government and the Ameri-
can Government as to the detention
Of mails in which we are directly or
indirectly interested.

"0ROUP PRINCIPAL" PLAN

One of the most significant adj
administrative changes made in the
schools here for some years is that
outlined by Superintendent Thurston
before the Board of Education yes
terday providing for "group princi-
pals" for several groups of Wash
iHgton schools in close proximity.
The policy adopted years ago of
esecting small buildings here has
resulted in increasing the overhead
cost Of running the schools; and it
has been great handicap in obtain
ing proper supervision. Under the
present arrangement the principal
b of an eight-room building has no
supervision over teachers in her
building, though she is burdened
with much administrative work con.
corning the building and the buying
of supplies. A parent who wishes
to complain about the teaching given
her child in the third grade cannot
60 to the principal; he must go to
the supervising principal, who has
from eight to twelve buildings t.
watch out for.
How little this defect has beer
understood is shown by the genera
assumption that the eighth grade
teacher is a principal. The repor
of the Cleveland commission merrily
charged up all eighth grade teachers

salaries to Supervision" thus max
ing that item a heavy one, whereas
the cost of supervision in Washing
ton schools is exactly $4,000 a year,
less than almost any city of its size
in the country. That is no virtue,
it ought to be more. But such is the
fact.
The "group principal" plan is a
good one from the standpoint of the
teacher. The eighth grade teacher
had gone as high as she may expect
to go. There was no incentive for
her to study supervisory methods,
for there was no likelihood Of her
icing called upon to supervise.
Under the new plan eighth grade
teachers have chance to enter into
the work of supervising from twenty
to thirty rooms. They still must
teach but their time will be left
free during instruction from special
teachers, such as drawing, domestic
science, manual training, and other
instructors. This time may then be
given to keeping in touch with the
work of other teachers.
This is only one of the many ex-
periments tried in the schools re-
Gently to make for better admins

ton designed to raise the educational

BRITAIN IN LINE AT LAST

That opposition which is merely
opposition is always highly vocal
when it has the privilege Of free
noise that appertains to democratic
institutions. A few weeks ago the
opposition to compulsory military
service in Great Britain was so noisy
that it managed to get itself taken
very seriously, even in Britain. Yet
when the parliamentary measure
came to the voting test, opposition
dwindled to unimportance on the
first reading, and well-nigh to the
vanishing point on final passage Of
the measure.
But even at that, there was still
the insistent belief that organized
labor in Britain was still hostile to
CONSUMPTION or any other extreme
measures calculated to strengthen
the position of the empire. Or
ganized labor, it was insisted, would
never assent to such measures;
rather, it would plunge the country
into internal Industrial war, if neces-
sary, to prevent their adoption.
Now comes from the labor con-
ference at Bristol the announcement
that two votes were taken by the
delegates representing 100000
union workers, on resolutions in
dorsing the attitudes of the govern
ment and of the Labor members Of
Parliament who stood by the gov
eminent. One resolution was adopt
ed by vote of 100000 to 100000;
the other by 100000 to 100000.
1t may fairly be assumed that
with this labor issue thus adjusted,
Britain has squared away and will
hereafter be entitled to recognition
as a united country, ready to stand
for the common interest with all the
power and resources it can command.
If it be said that a year and half
of internal pickering has been re-
quired to bring this result, Ameri-
cans, of all people, ought to be
charitable in their attitude toward
these troubles of a democracy. In
the civil war epoch the North had
its vocal and virulent copperheads;
even SO late as 1864 the slogan of
the campaign against Lincoln's re-
election was 1.-THE war is failure"
That was long after Vicksburg and
Gettysburg had marked the turning
point of the struggle. Yet in the
election of 1864 Mcclellan, on that
platform, polled 100000 votes
against 2,216,OOO for Lincoln. The
British showing is not particularly
discreditable to national patriotism
when compared to the American poll
ing of 1864.

NO BLOCKADE OF GERMANY YET

Weighing advantages and disad-
vantages, the British government
has decided that the benefits that
could be gained by straightfor-
ward blockade of Germany would
not compensate for the antagonists
that would be inspired among neu-
trails. Instead Of declaring block
ade, the government will go ahead
under the policy of the orders in
council, rather than attempt the
complicated and dangerous business
of blockading neutral countries that
serve as gateways to Germany.
Whatever may be thought of the
policy thus announced, and in which
Parliament has acquiesced, it must
be recognized as bespeaking a de-
termination to make every conces-
sion to the rights and sensibilities
of neutrals. Critics of the Asquith
government repeatedly pointed out
during the discussion yesterday that
the blockade could be carried on
under the precise regulations en-
forced by the United States, and &C
guessed in by Great Britain, dur
ing the civil war. But despite this
Sir Edward Grey was unwilling to
attempt such a radical course. He
pointed out that, blockade or no
blockade, it must be necessary at
length to sift the merchandise des-
tined to neutral ports and pass that
which was unobjectionable either as
to character or presumed destina-
ton; therefore in the end it would
be no more effective to call the in
reference a blockade.
sThere are some grounds to suspect
I'll lat the abandonment of the block
aae proposal was actuated not by re-
gard for the feelings of the United
States, but by consideration of Hol-
land, Sweden, and Denmark. This
country could not possibly object to
such a blockade, such an application
Of the continuous voyage" and "ulti-
mate destination" doctrines as were
developed and enforced during the
civil war by this nation. On the other
hand, Sweden had bitterly protested
a ,blockade. None of the three Scan
dinavian countries, nor Holland, had
ever enforced such a rule, as the
United States had done. It's onus
would have fallen on them more
heavily than on the United States
The abandonment of blockade, there
fore, may reasonably be attributed tt
concern for those countries senti
ments; not to any special desire tt
please the United States.
