John W. Foster.

John w. Foster, whose death occurred
in this city today, was one Of Washing
toms most distinguished citizens, man
who had scored an enviable success in
craftsmanship and diplomacy and had
become world-renowned as an author
ity on international Law. Mr.. Foster
rendered service Of great value to the
country as Secretary Of State and on
various international commissions to
which he was appointed, dealing with
numerous intricate and difficult ques-
tons between this government and 9TH
ers. His long experience in this field
enabled him to speak and write authori-
tatively on international issues. It is a
matter Of regret that Mr.. Foster did not
survive this present world conflict, arts.
ing out Of the fragrant violation Of in
ternational rights and the breaking of
treaties, to see the dawn Of the era Of
dependable good faith between nations
that must result from the war.

Brazil's Birthday.

Twenty-eight years ago today Brazil
changed with extraordinary ease and
calmness from an empire to a republic
The transformation was the marvel of
the time, and it made the entire South
and Central American area democratic in
form ef government. Today that event
is being celebrated in Brazil. and the
anniversary is being noted In this coun-
try with especial consideration, mas
much as Brazil is now aligned with the
United States in the war to make the
world safe for democracy, the war of
self-preservation for American repub-
lies.
BraziPs progress during the twenty
eight years Of democratic government
has been remarkable. The country has
progressed in every direction. Educa-
ton has been spread, resources have
been developed, business has expanded
and Brazil has taken her place among
the nations Of the world as one Of the
factors for civilization and culture. It
is appropriate now that Brazil should
be allied to the powers that are fighting
against the forces Of reaction and selfish
ness and cruelty.
Thus far Brazips part in the war has
been only preparatory, but the moral
effect Of the break with Germany is not
to be underestimated. It has had a
marked influence upon the attitude Of
other South American states. Teutonic
intrigue has undertaken revolts in
Brazil that have fortunately been
thwarted. Brazil is making ready to de-
liver valuable aid to the allies, and when
the full resources Of that great country
are invoked the part that the youngest
Of the South American republics takes
in the maintenance Of the principles Of
democracy will be found to be consider
able and helpful.
The future holds great possibilities for
Brazil. With an area only slightly less
than that Of the United States it has
opportunities for development rarely
equaled in the worlds history. Enor-
nous parts o. its territory are virtually
untouched. Its tremendous range from
equatorial to temperate climate, its COM
bination Of mountain, plain and river,
render it rich in possibilities that are
scarcely appreciated by those who have
not travelled through it. Brazil has
wisely proceeded conservatively in the
matter Of development. After this great
war is over Brazil may be expected to
advance rapidly in the readjustment of
trade that is certain to follow the decla-
ration Of peace.

doctrine. Il Il 20 pretty on psper-an
pamphlets and between cove1s-they
cannot resist Il.
This confession IL made in the same
announcement:
"The league has not BEEN a. active
recently % In the years directly follow
ing its organization. The new policy Il
agreed to by the management which will
be responsible for tho success Of the
future, and it IL hoped that publicity
and energy win make the existence and
tho principles Of the league more fsmi3-
ia5 to the public"
Tho Protective Tariff League-n there
Is such an organization-should welcome
this Let US have q battle royalsev-
er0 Il necessary-over the greatest Of
the issues which viii confront the coun-
try after the war is over. IF nothing
else survives, taxes will. Many things
may disappear; but while we have a gov
ernment it must be supported, and pres
ent prospects are that for some years a
large amount Of money will be neces-
sary annually for that purpose.
Tho free traders are planning for &C.
tivities after the war. They see, as do
the protectionists, that production and
distribution have been so affected and
markets SO restricted everywhere by the
hostiities. that, until peace empowers
reconstruction, and, so encouraged, re-
construction begins, new tariff rates and
schedules cannot with any permanence
or satisfaction be arranged. In that par
ticular VIC are in the same boat with
our European trade rivals, although their
business dislocations have been much
more serious and widely extended than
our own.
But when that time arrives, something
will be doing everywhere. We shah
have to take a thorough and an accurate
look around Our trade purposes are
on an ambitious scale, and must be ad-
justed to the new world conditions. It
may be that both the free traders and
the protectionists will find it necessary
to shift ground somewhat, though the
essence, the foundations, Of the old con-
tentions will remain.

Hebron, shout twenty miles south Of
Jerusalem. They seem, however, to DO
unable to stem the British onset, for
they have been Offering but small 70.
sistancs as they retreat. They are now
I'm a better position than they would DO
north Of the Dead sea, which affords
them q protection on their left flank
against the Arabs. who are operating In
conjunction with the British. Should
they be forced north Of Jerusalem they
will be in great danger from this source.
The primary object Of the British cam
paign in Syria is to force the Turks back
from the 9uez canal, which at ono time
was approached too closely for safety.
Yet If tho northward movement can be
continued, with Arab cooperation, to
Beirut and Damascus, about 40 miles
north Of Jerusalem, the Turks will be
in peril Of eviction from the entire
eastern shore of tho Mediterranean ow-
ing to the strength Of the British posi-
ton at Bagdad. At present these two
campaigns in Mesopotamia and Syria
are distinct. It may not be the British
intention to proceed farther up the
Euphrates and Tigris valleys than Bag
dad, the seizure Of which was mainly
valuable for political reasons and was
one Of the chief causes Of the arousal Of
the Arabs as anti-Turkish allies. The
failure Of the Russian campaign in
trans-C aucasia and Persia left the Brit
ish in Mesopotamia without the support
with which at one time it seemed pos
sible to drive the Turks into Asia Minor
and possibly break the Turkish military
power. Yet late reports prove that the
British are able to hold their own. They
have just broken up preparations to at
tack the lines north Of Bagdad. What
ever befalls in Mesopotamia, short Of a
British disaster, it is evident that the
menace to the Suez canal has now been
definitely ended.

No Heavy Additional War Taxation.

No Heavy Additional War Taxation.
Secretary McAdoo brings timely re-
assurance against xumored additional
heavy taxation and further appropria-
tons for war purposes. Il will be ap-
preciated by tho business world. This
word from the governments financial
director, uttered with the confidence
proceeding from intimate knowledge,
should have immediate beneficial effect
It will also be great relief to Congress
leaders charged with tho responsibility
Ct providing ways and means.
Addressing gathering Of bankers
and fnanciers in Baltimore last night
tho Secretary Of tho Treasury said he
desired to dispel unfounded apprehen-
SION In the public mind as to the extent
Of the financial requirements Of the
United States during tho current fiscal
year. 10 declared that they had been
greatly exaggerated and he spoke by
the card, having At hand tho estimates
Of the various departments submitted
within the past few days. This was the
first Official hint upon a subject which
engages the attention Of business men
and legislators at this time.
The actual expenditures, which, he took
pains to point out, include appropria-
tions already made and proposed supple
mental estimates to be submitted at the
esmiAg session Of Congress, will not at
rhs most exceed the estimates. This
statement II based upon the fact that
expenditures Of the War Department
for four months, ending October 81, have
allen below tho estimate to the extent
Of so Per cent.
The taxpayer will take comfort in
Secretary McAdoos omission Of refer
ence to further taxation in the near
future. The money to be supplied will
b furnished by the issue Of bonds, war
savings certificates and Treasury Ger
ttfcates Of indebtedness
Doubling Thomases should be relieved
Of distress over the ability Of the coun-
try to stand the financial drain occa-
stoned by the war. The Secretary gives
positive assurance that in the opinion
Of the Treasury Department the raising
