Salvation Fund
To Stop Strike

PEKING, April 1.-Suggestions have
been made that the Yunan Shi Kai
government use the national salvation
fund raised after the Japanese de-
mands for the preservation of China
il putting down the revolution in
Yunnan. Funds are badly needed to
send a large punitive expeditionary
force and a number of vernacular pa
pers are urging the utilization of the
salvation fund. This now totals about
ten million dollars, Mexican, according
to newspaper reports.
AS much of this fund was subscrib
ed by persons who are now at variance
with the Yuma Shi Kai government.
who have been demanding its retura
the suggestion is not universally fav-
ored by any means. Ever since the
first report of the monarchial move
ment, the salvation fund has been a
bone of contention.

Science Praises
The War Offices

LONDON, April 1.-The much abused
war office, which has popularity been
held responsible for the ammunition
shortage, the lack of high explosives
ard machine guns, the Gallipoli fail
IRE and all of the other military mis-
fortunes of the war, has at last come
in for a round of praise from scien-
tiflc source.
The war Office has been the sub
ject of well-merited obloquy in these
columns in connection with it's wrong
headed conceptions of the value of
pharmaceutical qualifications" says
the Pharmaceutical Journal, and it
is our duty, as well as our pleasure, to
now record equally deserved praise
Oh the emancipation of the department
from it's former shackles of ignorance,
official pride and traditional preju-
dice"
The journal then goes on to COM
mend the appointment Of women in
military hospitals and better pay and
increased sympathy for qualified men
ard women. 1t continues:
THE enlightened view that the wa
Office will in the future give prece
dence in recognition over the compare
lively unframed will give immense
impetus to effective and thorough
methods of technical training, and
will simultaneously deal heavy blow
tc short cutters and flashy ineffi-
clients who have been the bane of Brit
ish art, science and commerce"

That intimate and practically uni
versal garment the shirt is ever the
subject of argument. The more man
has tried to develop it from its earli-
est form, the more he has been criti-
cised. America, emancipated from
that snowy armor known as the hard
boiled shirt, still struggles with the
problems of stripes and checks,
starched cuffs and soft, pins and
pasteboard. When the shirt maker
does his work we'll the laundryman
often wrecks the joy of the possessor
The war has not spared the shirt
wearer. His 1884 comes from the
laundry with a blush faint in the
white parts and starchy stiff sheen
on the cuffs reminiscent of the sos.
The laundrynan explains that because
of Europe he cannot get right kind
of soap, starch, bluing or labor. Be
yond that he is in as good condition
as ever AS for the pins, the paste
board spine and the gloomy little
collar button, he says that they are
necessary for the preservation of his
art in the transit of the shirt from
folding board to chiffonier.
The great American shirt is being
frowned at in the markets of the
world; not because it is not advanced,
but because it is Recently there
were complaints from Spain that the
American shirts offered for sale there
were all of the coat pattern. Young
America demanded this style so that
he could brush his hair before put
ting on his shirt. Old CASTLE wishes
still to pul'his shirt on over his head.
Our consul-general at Rio de ia

ington that Brazil also regards the
coat shirt as "fantastic.' Also, ne

plain that the American shirt Is un-
reliable as to size of collar and length
of sleeve; a cry not unknown IN
America. Another reason why Amer1-
can shirts do not appeal to the Latin
American Is the absence of the little
tab which used to be placed at the
bottom of the bosom. It is supposed
to be buttoned to the trousers or
drawers and thus keep the shirt from
rising in billowy majesty. The Aus
trian, Italian and Portuguese shirt
makers supply this tab, avoid the
coat pattern and put the Yankee shirt
to rout. AS an American shirt COM

export trade is large because we do
not give the South American what
he wants. The Portuguese maker fol-
lows the wishes of the trade so closely
that he puts little buttons over the
biceps so that the sleeves may be
pulled up and fastened If South
Americans want to roll up their
sleeves, let us assist in the true Pan

City Planning.
New Haven Journal-Courier)

(New Haven Journal-Courier.)
It is now the state Of Indiana which
is giving city planning it's serious at
tention. The movement extends to
the entire state and has for its pur-
pose the simpGfication of city or
ganization. An organization has been
formed which sends forth it's speakers
to the municipalities of the state to
educate the people, and the president
who has just returned to Fort Wayne
writes: "Since returning home from
the tour, I have been fairly amazed
to learn the results achieved in ad-
vancing towards these two objects, -
the enactment Of a statute creating a
city planning commission and the
education of the people.
This month there is to be a conven-
ton held at the city of Springfield,
Mass. at which among other subjects
relating to community life the subject
of the city manager will be discussed
bv city managers who have achieved
success in the field of local admins
tration. The meeting will be so close
at hand that it seems a pity the ma
chinery does not exist for sending a
formal delegation from this city to
stop, look and listen and then make a
report with recommendations to the
city fathers here. While we have had
some excellent results from the form
of local government we have in opera
ton here its frequent amendment in
the past shows that 1t has never been
wholly satisfactory It has never been
satisfactory because the principle upon
which 1T Is founded is not sound We
have grown to whatever state of excel
| lence we have by constantly shedding
manifest absurdities and seeking O.
more simple organization. We have
never sought a solution of the prob
lem by tackling it from original ideas
that have been subjected to severe
tests in practice.
There is every reason to believe that
the results which have been achieved
elsewhere, in increased economy and
efficiency, can be achieved here if the
simple commission or city MANAGER
plan Is adopted with confidence It
| is very desirable that it should be
adopted in order that the IMPROVE
ment in the public service which is
obviously demanded may be granted:
that is to say, that we shall have
better government from every point Of

A Stubborn Aristocracy.
Bridgeport Farmer.)

New England has an aristocracy of
cotton mill owners who have inherited
for two or three generations. The
ancient industries constructed by
gifted men of democratic ideals, have
fallen into the hands of heirs, who,
lacking contact with the real world,
know little of it.
Thus these aristocrats by inheri-
lance attempt to impose their arbi-
trary notions of statecraft and policy
upon the people of the nation. They
are barely successful in New Eng
land and not at all in the countrN
Their day is done. They are now but
impediments to the progress OF New
England.
Regarding themselves as they do,
as an exclusive class, ordained to be
rulers of a working population fresh
from the soil of Europe, they demand
for themselves and their privileged
institutions concessions which no free
government can give.
They have already forced tho west
and south into combination, and they
have made New England of little con-
sequence in the counsels of the
United States.
New England cannot enjoy her for
mer eminence until she casts out her
reactionaries, beginning with Lodge in
Massachusetts, and ending with such
senators as Mclean and Brandegee in
Connecticut, and such congressman as
Hill, in the Fourth District.
The time is not far distant when the
purging will be an actuality. Lippitt
was beaten in Rhode Island Mclean
had a close shave in Connecticut.
In this whole state only Fairfield
county gave the Bourbon nlajorities of
the former days.
One has but to look at the coun-
try to see that it is astir with the
business Of a new age.
The New England Bourbons are
unconscious of the change. In a GER
tain limited way they do know that
industry, to succeed, requires modern
machinery. But here their capacity
for provision ceases. They do not
know the necessity of modern social
machinery.
They are fatuous enough to be-
lieve that a society can get along with
outworn laws and customs better than
it can get along with outworn ma
chimes They make the less super
Tor to the greater. Their stupidity
knows no limit
In this election New England peo-
pie did what they could, and almost
succeeded.
Maine, Bourbon by small plur-
ality; New Hampshire, free Massa-
chusetts, close, and Connecticut Rour-

The future is bright with promise
of better things in New England.

Blaming the Committee.
(Springfield Republican,.

\Spr1nSneld Repub1iCan).
The predicted has happened. Mes
sages from all parts of the country
have been received at the republican
headquarters in New York, and Chair
man Wilcox is quoted as saying that
many of them were complaints of
every kind" If a national com n,ittee
happens to be on the winning side it
is overwhelmed with praise from the
mem bers of it's party, but if it is on
the losing end Of the game it may be
sure Of getting a seemingly endless
succession of kicks.
At the same time politicians of
large experience hold that the repub-
Hcan party was not strong in it's CEN
trail organization. This may have
been due to the fact that there was
more than the usual struggling for
position and recognition on the part
of contending elements. During the
early part Of the campaign George w
Perkins and those who stand with
him were much at the front. This
was the period during which Candi-
date Hughes was raking President
Wilson'S record fore and aft and
could see no good thing in it. The
admirers of Col. Roosevelt were GER
tain that he was putting needed
punch" into the republican fight
and there is melancholy disillusion in
the discovery that his oratory was
almost everywhere followed by a
trail of defeat. During the last fort
night of the presidential contest Mr..
Hughes settled down to making the
tariff the important thing, and there
he seemed to do his most effective
work. There are republicans who hold
that if the candidate had paid as
much attention to the organization Of
the campaign as he did to its oratory
he would have done better.
There is a certain melancholy inter
est about this aftermath, but it does
not get anywhere. The fact remains
that President Wilson, by virtue Of his
record in office, obtained a majority
CT the votes. Inquests never result
in giving the subject OF them chance
to trv things over again. Death and
defeat have to be accepted, and the
more philosophically the better.

English prisoners of war are report

Captain Boelke, who was killed re-
war geography bulletin issued from
the Washington headquarters Of the
National Geographic Society:
"Situated on the banks of the small
river Haase, a tributary Of the Ems,
Osnabruck lies 1876 miles in an air
line due east of Amsterdam, IS miles
southwest of Bremen, and SO miles by
rail west of Hanover. The industries
Of this town of 75 900 inhabitants are
numerous and varied but perhaps it's
textile mills are best known, because
it was in them that the coarse linen
fabric which bears the city's English
name Osnaburg, was first made.
''Osnabruck is one of the most VEN
cradle towns Of Prussia. In the clos
ing years Of the eighth century
Charlemagne designated it as the cap
ital of a bishopric, a distinction which
it enjoyed without interruption for
more than a thousand years In 1903
the see was suppressed, the last
bishop being Frederick, Duke of
York, son of the English Hanoverian
monarch George III. In 1858 the
city was restored to it's religious emil
nence when it was again made the
seat of Roman Catholic bishop.
Osalab-uclx, German Prison Camp.
"It is on account of her share in the
preliminary negotiations which led to
the epochal peace of Westphalla that
Osnabruck is famous in history. In
1914. after all central Europe had
been devastated by the great struggle
which eventually became known as
the Thirty Years war, representatives
of Sweden the German Empire ana
German Protestants met here, while
in the neighboring city of Munster,
80 miles to the southwest, delegates
from France, Spain, the German
Catholics and the German Empire
gathered. The negotiations extended
over a period of four years In
october, 1913, both groups of con-
ferees having arrived at a common
basis of settlement, the Osnabruck
diplomats repaired to Munster, where,
a few days later, the peace was signed
which guaranteed the sovereignty and
independence of the several states of
the Empire, and which forbade re-
ligious persecution throughout Ger
many. It was this peace, in which
Osnabruck played such a vital part,
that put an end to religious wars in
Europe.
GAS early as S88 Osnabruck was
granted the right to establish it's own
mint, but it was not until the fifteenth
century that the city reached the crest
of it's medieval prosperity. Following
the decline which was necessarily in
cident to the ravages of the Thirty
Years war, it enjoyed a second era Of
growth
