More Pity, Less Censure

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
A careful study of the Kalser's
words and deeds for full two years
compels the conclusion that both are
not new to the world, and when infiu-
encing the average mind, is not only
dangerous to his associates, but in
valid in its relations to the world at
large. But the Kaiser Is much more
than an average man with average
opportunities for good or evil. His
inherited equipment and opportunity
is worldwide and centuries long in
their accumulation

KEEP WEATHER EYE ON JAPAN

TN a recent address to the gradu-
ating class at Johns Hopkins
College, President Frank Good
now, who for years was China's con-
stitutional adviser, warned America
to keep her weather. eye on Japan.
He declared that the United States
must look to its interests in China,
for If Japan succeeds In getting half
her demands in that quarter of the
globe it will mean the end of our
trade in Cathay. Our exports to
China are now averaging some $685.
100000 annually, although there is
already marked dropping off in our
sales to her of cotton goods, Japan
having secured practical control of
that trade.
The fact that We have joined her
in the allegiance against Germany
will not deter Japan from grabbing
all she can get in China, and If she
can ever bring power enough to bear
to coerce China into discouraging
the importation of American goods
the door which John Hay opened
will be closed in our faces.

scious that at certain time of day
the sun has attained the top of his
arch across the sky. In point of
fact. there are only a few places in
the country where noon and IL
o'clock coincide. Under the plan,
IL o'clock would still be the time
for the midday knocking off" and
the evening suspension of work
would also occur at the same clock
time as before; the only difference
would be that the sun, at each of
these times, would, on his daily
path, be one hour behind his pres
ent schedule-an astronomical mat
ter which no one would care any
thing about. What people would be
interested in would be to observe
that they would now have an addi-
tional hour of daylight, after stop
ping work for the day, in which to
do the things which they can only
do by the light of the sun.
The principal active opposition
comes from the railroads, who fear
confusion over time tables. This,
however, is not justified by expert
ence. as 1t has been found an easy
matter to accustom people to re-
member that railroad time is an
hour slower than local time, and to
govern their movements accordingly,
but even that could be overcome by
proper arrangements the country
over. German railroads are so op-
Grated and. surely. American rail-
road men won't admit they can't do
something that Germans can.

CROP PEST LETTER
By Prof. J. G.. Sanders, State
Economic Zoologist
BLISTER BEETLES

q oMETIMEs large swarms of
- long, narrow, black, gray or
- striped beetles appear and
destroy the foliage of garden
and field crops. Occasionally
called "old-fashioned potato
bugs" there are several species
appearing in early summer, and
each prefers particular types of
plants.
The young stages feed on the
egg masses of grasshoppers in
the soil, hence are beneficial for
that time.
Quick action in spraying with
arsenate of lead throughly ap-
piled may save crops; but their
sudden appearance in swarms
cause quick damage. Line OF
workers armed with foliage
brushes can put them to flight
with the wind and occasionally
save a field crop.

HOLLAND PRINCESS
LEARNING TO SKATE
Ice Has Been Exceptionally
Good This Year.

observation-disclosures is famour for
skaters and it's skating, but it is a
number Of years since the devotees
have had an opportunity of showing
their form. The last two winters were
exceptionally mild. but this year, "as
the day heightened the cold strength
ened" and the innumerable waterways
of Holland were soon frozen over.
It did not take many hours to pro-
duce the familiar spectacle on the
canals and lakes of the Netherlands.
Young men and maidens, boys and
girls, appeared as If at the waving of
q magic wand. and the whole country
was transformed into a land of skaters.
AS one passes through Holland at such
times the scene is most picturesque.
The flat country with its whitened,
frosty surface affords the relief neces-
sary to throw UP the bright costumes
of the flying figures. Red and green
and yelow--all the colors of the rain
boW--are dotted about on the ice, and
the spectacle is like a. Kaleidoscope in
the variety and mutability of its chro-
matte combinations and organizations.
OF course, everybody skates from
the queen downward. This year little
Princess Juliana has been initiated
into the art of what the Dutch call
schaatsenritdcn. The princess. who will
be eight years old in April, has been
supplied with a three -cornered wooden
appliance resting on the ice and so
contrived as to prevent her from fall
ing too often. No one is allowed to
raise the princess if she falls. although
a lady in waiting and a court footman.
both excellent skaters, are in attend
ance. It is a tradition of the Dutch
| that those who would learn to skate
must also learn to fall in order that
| they may grow confident and indie
| pendent. The queen herself is an eX
cellent skater, her style being simple
and firm and typically Dutch.
In Holland skaters do not affect fig
IRE skating so much as the skaters
of some other countries. They prefer
the simpler form of the exercise, as
nothing seems so delightful to them as
, gliding over the endless labyrinth OF
canals than which there is perhaps nc
more admirable skating ground any
| where to be found. 1t is to this that
the Dutch themselves attribute Their
peculiar style of skating and their typ,
| ically long and firm stroke.

At the outbreak of the war more
than half the total land area of the
British Isles We're grazing and pasture

quarter million laborers off the land,
and not more than 50 women have re-
placed them. Sailors and fishermen
bring England so per cent of its food
over the sea or out of it.
For 50 years the whole trend of the
British social structure has been away
from that of a nation raising its own
food And now n siege puts a pre-
MUM on England's growing its own
food out of it's own soil. Hence the
British government belatedly does for
