u. S. LOOKS OUT
FOR HARDWAR E

Because Germany, Holland, Den
mark, Norway and Sweden will be I'M
Ger the necessity of restocking with
hardware when the war is over, the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, Of the Department of Com
lnerce, has just published a report on
the character of goods required IN
those countries and the possibilities OF
getting some of the business for Amer
lean manufacturers.
Before the war Germany was not
onl only able to supply domestic de-
mands for hardware, but to carry on
most fouishing foreign trade. The
probabilities are that, with the exce9-
ton Of few lines that America has
always supplied she will again be able
to supply her own markets when the
war is over. The Scandinavian coun-
tries, however, which have always
purchased certain lines of hardware II
the United States, will be promising
fields for purchasing American trade.
The report is made up of discussions
of general conditions governing the
hardware trade Teach of the coun-
tries mentioned and of detailed de-
scriptions of each article successfully
sold in the markets.
In connection with the investigation
by the American commercial attache
at Berlin. upon which the report is
based an extensive collection Of sam
pies was purchased. These samples
will be exhibited in the principal
manufacturing centers of this country
and then added to the Bureaus perm
anent exhibit at the New York Cuhtom-
house.
The new report is entitled Markets
for American Hardware in Germany,
The Netherlands, and Scandinavia"
Miscellaneous Series No. As. 1t con-
tains 126 pages and may be purchased
for the nominal price of Is cents from

THE AVERTED STRIKE

All good Americans were pleased to
hear the news that the strike had been
averted. The people were not con-
cerned in the measures which brought
about the decision which saved the
country from a nationwide tie-up Of
commerce, industry and her very life.
The people hope that a permanent
peace has been secured between the
brotherhoods and the railroads, as
they have heard already too much. 1t
is estimated that the concessions Of
the railroads to the brotherhoods will
approximate $6O,OOO,OOO annually. The
public is very much concerned here
for the people pay the freight.
1t is doubtless due to the pressure
from Washington, exercised by Presi-
dent Wilson through the mediators,
that the strike situation was clarified.
Secretaries Lane and Wilson official
family, went to New York and secured
the forty-eight hour respite, and it is
not to be denied that they brought
about the agreement which forestalled
the strike.
The American people have higher
concern in the future of the nation as
it regards international affairs. At this
particular time, the people do not care
to be annoyed by internal disputes and
for this reason their strongest hope is
that the situation has been adjudicated
for all time to come.
When the extra session of Congress
it is highly probable that they
will turn to the railroad situation for
attention. The principles Of interna-
tional peace are based on arbitration
of disputes, the verdict to be accepted
and if needs be enforced by the league
of nations. The same can be a guild
ing light for Congress which should
enact law forcing arbitration of
these questions. and thus forever put
behind the idea OF such situation
which has just been over come.
The time seems to be fast approach
ing when the government will take
over the railroads and other public
utilities. We would regret to see this
day arrive-as the government cannot
efficiently conduct the affairs 1t now
has in hand.

THE EMPTY HON0RS.

To hear the Germans tell it you
would think that Bapaume, Peronne,
Bagdad and other recent captures by
the Entente allies are Of no conse-
quence. Still, by reversion to the
time when the two French cities pass
ed into Germany's hands, the accounts
show that the Kaiser gained these
possessions because of their extreme
tactical and military advantage. They
amount to much when the Germans
captured them, but when they are lost
they mean nothing-and always the
Germans seem to benefit by their re-
tirements, previously arranged as the
official announcements have it.
Wrecks Weekly is the name of the
late Fatherland, a bitter pro-German
paper published in New York, openly
avowing its enmity to Wilson and all
things which have the defense of this
country foremost. Viereck belongs TO
that class of hyphenated and hibernat-
ing insects who think more Of the
German Kaiser than they do of the
Stars and Stripes. although the flag Of
freedom is furnishing their cowardly
beings all safety and protection.
A military expert of Viereck's"
comments on the fall of Bagdad, and
of course-to hear the Germans and
pro-German tell it, the fall is an empty
shell for England. Here is the com
ment of the military expert" this
week:
Bagdad has fallen. 1t was doom
ed from the moment that Kut-El-
Amara was captured. In fact the
Turks made no plans for the de-
Tense of Bagdad. What the British
have purchased at an extraordin-
airy heavy price Is an empty shell.
The she'll of what had once been a
great city but which is today IN
important For Kut-El-Amara the
British paid 10000 lives. When we
add to this the forty thousand
lives lost by the British last year
In their vain attempt to capture
the place we see that 10000 hu-
man lives were split by the Engl-
ish before Bagdad fell At this
rate the Turks can very well af-
ford to lose a few towns. When
it comes to the peace conference
Turkey will regain these villages
but the British can never regain

In this country the association did
similar work on the Mexican border.
Last spring $5,000,0OG were raised
to support the work among the new

crowded every night with boys writ
