Respectfully yours.

NOSTHCL1FFE.
1t is due our distinguished correspondent,
the brilliant British editor and publicist,
Lord Northclire, TO comply as completely as
possible with his request, after disclaiming
the slightest intention TO ignore either the
great obligation OF America to the allies or
the cordiaiiy OF our relations with Great
Britain. The editorial in question expressly
stated the improbability that the British gov
eminent would consent to part with Canada
or that majority of Canadians would desire
to change their allegiance.
In these times OF vast loans being made
by the United States to our European allies,
there is natural interest upon the part of
many Americans as to the solvency Of the
creditors and to inquire into tho assets that
may be available to eXtinguish the debt when
the time for settlement arrives. Such fears
as these may be put at rest so far as Great
Britain is concerned, by rejecting that, if
all other resources should fail there would
be In this hemisphere a sufficient quantity of
territory which might be acceptable to the
United States. if the British government
should see fit to part with it. Canada alone
would be worth more to the United States
than the whole amount owing by Great Brit
ain to tho United States
1t would not be new thing for this coun-
try to acquire territory from q European
government. In 1903 we purchased from
France an area almost one-third the size of
canada. In 1867 we acquired from Russia
oS6,4oo square miles. In 1898 we bought
tho Philippine Islands from Spain Only re-
Gently we purchased certain islands from
Denmark. Indeed, it is not considered bad
business nor bad manners, to discuss the
possible purchase from European govern
ments Of any territory they may find it con-
venient TO sell. Americans consider that
method Ill every way superior TO the peace

the edifice. Others, all armed fully

Passing through a street. the nc
groes encountered an automobile con-
tanning several police officers. Being
questioned, they told the officers to
go on about their business, almost
Immediately firing into the car, Ser
geant Cooper being killed almost in

Following the encounter between the
negroes and the officers, a general
alarm brought all police reserves in
the city to the scene and a Gordon OF
officers was quickly thrown around the
negro section of the city, none beins
permitted either to enter or leave
that quarter during the continuance OF
the riots. A body of well-armed Off
GERS then began Systematically search
ing every negro house in East St
Louis, confscating all weapons found
and making numerous arrests. Six
companies of national guardsmen ar
rived before this search was completed
and assisted the civil authorities in
restoring order. The troops are still
on guard.
Despite the presense Of the troops,
attacks on negroes continued during
the early afternoon, eight negroes be-
irg SO seriously hurt as to require
removal to hospitals, while one white
man and two negroes were killed. The
situation continues serious.

STEEL REPLACING WOOD IN
CONSTRUCTION OF COACHES

ATLANTA, Ga, July at is only a
question of time. and a comparatively
short time, before the wooden passen-
ger coach will be a thing of the past
on all American railroads, except the
small lines which carry light travel
and run at low speeds, according TO
Atlanta railroad men who call atten-
ton to interesting statistics showing
tie disappearance of wooden cars and
the remarkable increase of steel cars.
The building of wooden passenger
coaches has practically ceased. Only
three wooden cars for passenger SER
vice were built in 1916, ard on jan
uary l, 1917, only ten were under con-
struction. This shows that railroads
throughout the country are using steel
exclusively in the building. of new
coaches, and are working off the old
OGDEN coaches as rapidly as possible
No improvement in railroad equip
ment in recent years has contributed
more to the public safety than this one
thinf. The day of disastrous railroad
wrecks, when whole trains OF coaches
were piled on top of one another,
where they were ground into splihters
and then caught fire, has passed. 1t is
