. WHICH SHALL IT BE?

Men or munitions? This question Is
to be discussed by the allies-we being
represented, of course-in order to
determine whether the United States
cam best contribute to the war by
sending men to the trenches or NUM-
tions for the European soldiers who
are already there. 1t all comes down
to the matter of ships. With the ton
mage now available we cannot send
both men and munitions.
The toll of the U-boat has been
greater than the building program on
both sides of the Atlantic, although it
has fallen far short of the million tons
a month which the Germans set as
their minimum when they turned Won
Tirpitz loose. The American ship
building program calls for about six
millions of tonnage to be constructed
within the next year, a million tons
of it to be under steam by next March
Whatever the decision of the con-
ference which win discuss the mem
or-munitions question, we shall go on
providing both-and ships, too.
In addition to these we shall go on
providing food and money. Our re-
sources in all these have scarcely been
touched

OLD THEORIES UPSET.

We were taught at school that the
law of supply and demand was as
fixed and immutable as the laws of
the Modes and Persians; that prices
were Invariably governed by the rela-
ton of one to another. Yet the ex-
igeneies of war, says a writer in
American Industries. have knocked
this theory into a cooked hat and the
law of supply and demand has been
suspended so far as price determine
ton is concerned. The government
steps in and the ancient and time
honored law takes back seat.
We were taught at school that com
mercial trade balances governed the
flow of gold from one country to an
other. yet our reserve of gold, so la
boriously accumulated during the past
three years as a result of the opera
ton Of economic theories that had not
yet been suspended, was in danger of
depletion in favor of Japan, Spain,
Argentina and other countries.
It was not a trade balance adverse
to the United States that was drawing
all of this gold from our shores. Trade
balances with most of these countries
were in our favor, and again the gov
eminent stepped in and stopped or
regulated this flow. In the movement
of the gold that was leaving us, there
was no telling what Japan, or Spain
or other countries were going to do
with 1t; and so the government again
upset the ancient order of things.
We had been taught to believe by
our masters in political economy that
undue and harmful Initiation and ex-
pahsion of business always accom-
panies an over-supply of gold; yet.
with gold reserve nearly SO per cent
above normal, has any one yet noticed
signs of undue business expansion? Is
there any big industrial development
under way, except for the production
of war necessities? Are the factories
not so engaged abnormally prosper
| ous7 Are there any big public or
private improvements going on, or
railways being built7
One fails to find any abnormal bust
ness expansion except in war lines.
The temper of the country is distinct
ly adverse to business expansion of
any kind that does not directly affect
! our war position. Another time-hon-
ored economic theory thrown into the
discard.

TRAVELETTE
Number 10 jackson Place.
BY NIRsAH

Number 10 jackson Place, WASH
ington, d. c., has made a name and
a reputation out of the war. 1t is
one of the old-time residences of the
capital, with high stoop, a basement
kitchen and a flight of brown-stene
steps-the sort of house that was
considered the last word in luxury
and fashion forty years ago. and then
goes down into a gradual decline as
ordinary residence and rooming house
into a peaceful sleep. When war was
declared, 10 Jackson Place suffered
rude awakening. The well known
committee on public information
chose it for headquarters, and since
then it is on the map.
The old house wears an air of be-
wildered and resentful activity. 1t
was never intended for Office work,
much less for the strenuous role of
center of national war publicity.
Correspondents from all the world
over are wearing new grooves in the
brown-stone steps; they are smoking
the irreverent cigaret at a. m. in
what was once the staid front parlor,
where you feel certain that the gas
was turned out every evening at II
unless the daughter of the house had
company, and nobody smoked any
thing but good HaVanas and an occa-
sional fragrant pipe. The old n1antel-
piece over the dead fireplace is the
sole relic of the furnishings of those
by-gone times; where the center
table used to Ctand there is a desk
buried under a three days drift of
newspapers guarded by five telephones
ranged in a row.
Elsewhere the changes are as sad.
In the basement, where capable and
complaining old Virginia mammies
must have concocted saVory meals to
send their odors floating up the brick
stairway to thee street, they have To-
Gated the wholesale publications de-
partment, and the sidewalk is blocked
with a stack of mail sacks nine feet
high. Nothing floats up but odor of
printers ink, and the purr of many
typewrfters. Upstairs, the old spa
cious living rooms are divided into
bare offices by emergency partitions
of frosted glass. All day long the dig
nified old building shakes with the I'M
accustomed activity and instead of
giving it time to recover, they keep it
open all night. No wonder 10 jack
sons Place looks across the street at
quiet old Lafayette Square with aris-
toeratic Indignation.

s Los Angeles indulged-the word
seems appropriate-in a meatless day
recently It is described by the Times
as follows: Among the meatless
dishes served at the cafes and res
taurants last Tuesday were chicken
gibIets, omelettes of every description,
Belgian hare, stuffed young turkey
and cranberry sauce, frog legs with
mushrooms, Welsh rarebit and every
sort of fish from minnows to whale.

If the Junction City movie men
want to open their houses on Sunday
why don't they go ahead like other
Kansas cities and do it? The oper-
alton of Shows on Sunday is not in
terfered with anywhere except in To-
peka. The authorities need make no
effort to stretch the law in other
cities outside the capital. They
Should simply ignore it. In the

relies on the altitude" of the com
munity in enforcing laws outside the

= 1t is estimated that Hayti will, un-
der favorable conditions, assist mate
rally in relieving the alleged sugar
shortage condition by February or
March OF the coming year. In 1904
Hayti supplies all the cane sugar con-
sumed in France and much for the
rest OF the world, but from the time
Hayti declared its independence in
1904 until the United States estab-
lished it's protectorate in 1915, politi-
cal restrictions deferred the develop
ment of this island, conceded to be
the most fertile of the West Indies.
However, as soon as the United States
government assumed control, new en-
ergy and capital asserted itself, espe-
cially in the sugar industry.

While everybody is paying war
taxes in from one to a dozen forms,
even the small salaried man giving
up part of his earnings in the form
of an income tax, it would be interest
ing to know how members of con-
gress feel. They carefully exempted
their salaries of $500 a year from
both income and excess profit taxes
while at the same time taxing other
peoples incomes exceeding 81 900 and
placing an additional tax on those
earning more than $4,000 year. The
action of congress on the revenue bill
recalls memories of the old salary
grab days when members voted
themselves an increase in pay. What
the people thought of that measure
was indicated by the fact that a large
number of the congressman who voted
for it failed to be returned to wash
ington at the succeeding election
There are men working for the gov
eminent for 81 a year, who are not
favored by any form of exemption.
