GERMAN SUBSTITUTES MEET POWERS NEEDS
 DESPITE BLOCKADE

BERLIN-(Correspondence of The Associated Press)-The extent to which substitutes and limitations are rampant in Germany today from one of the most interesting subjects of the now seasonable reviews. The"ersatz" the German word for substitutes is now common not only in the line of foodstuffs but in technical industry, textiles and metals. Though from time to time indications of this change in German life have become known abroad, there have lately appeared in- teresting summaries which afford a sharper focus or the situation. Some of the items in this development, un- der their respective heads, are as fol lows:
 Saltpeter: Before the war Germany imported annually over S4O,OOO, 900 worth of saltpeter for agricultural and ammunition purposes, mainly from Chile, and all of this regular supply was lost at the outset of the war. To day countless factories in Germany are manufacturing saltpeter, whereas be- fore the war there were only a few experimental establishments, and Ger many is now able not only to supply the increased amount of saltpeter necessary for ammunition but also has been able to furnish all that is neces. sary for fertilizers.
 Aluminium: Before the war the sup ply of beuxite for the manufacture of aluminium had been imported from France, and the cutting off of this supply led German scientists to dis cover a process of aluminium manufac- ture by electricity from ordinary clay
 Mineral Oils: Chemical experts in the German coal fields have discovered new ways of extracting oils from coal. partly relieving the serious condition resulting from the cutting off of min. eral oil imports which in 1913 amount ed to no less than S277.000,000.
 Rubber: Germany lost practically all of her imports of rubber, and to offset this shortage she has substituted steel for rubber in innumerable cases where rubber had been used purely for its elasticity. Further, the per lection of a submarine merchantship made is possible to bring in enough new rubber to mix with the old in the creation of a regenerated or synthetic rubber. The supply of this has been developed until now it is said to be sufficient to last for another eight months.
 Graphite: Ceylon was the exclusive source of supply of graphite used in Germany before the war. because the Ceylon graphite was 99 per cent pure Since the beginning of the war Ger many has been dependent entirely

CHICAGO. Jan 25-British official utterances that. were construed as ad- verse to an early peace gave the wheat market an upward swing to- day. which, however, was not well maintained. The market closed hea- " lk to F net higher with May at 1S43s to 1S5 and July at 1.5319 to 1535s. Corn held q to < at 1c gain and oats finished 2s to F at 7s up. Latest figures on provisions varied from 21a decline to a rise of 40c
 Advance that in some cases amount ed to 215 bushel on wheat resulted from the purchasing which was large ly stimulated by the British chancel- lor's speech at Bristol commenting unfavorably on President Wilson's plea for a peace without victory
 In the absence of any sign of i'm; portant new business with Europe the market in the last hour of trading came very near to losing all the pre- ceding enhancement of values
 Active export buying hoisted the corn market to a new high record not equaIled since the civil war. Oats rose with corn.

 Rosin: Supplies Of this had come exclusively from America and France. but German chemists have now be- come able to produce all that is need ed from the German forests. or are able to use as a substitute for rOsin the by-products of wood and coal
 Textiles: Paper has been adapted in innumerable instances to serve for cloth. By using protoxide of sodium. sulphite cellulose. and paper. a very durable and satfsfaetarS thread has been evolved. which. in turn. lends
 itself to the creation of sacks and bags. girdles. doilies. aprons. work ing garments. wrapping cloth and thread and string. The inventors have discovered a way to give the paper cloth" great resistance to dampness
 Cellulose has been found to lend it. self to the production of gun cotton when combined with other chemicals
 and nettles have proved themselves to be the source of cotton mating thread. yarn. coloring matter and ev- en feed stuffs. Dresses and other clothes are being manufactured out of artificial cotton and wool, as they sometimes were in peace times. Even the reeds that grow on the banks of
 lakes and ponds are being used to
 make artificial cloths.
 Copper: Almost the only "unsub- stitutable" substance has been cop
 per, but there has been found to be ! plenty of that on hand in German
 industrial plants and elsewhere. In
 place of the copper thus taken by the government there have been installed aluminium and zinc. out of which | wires and utensils of various sorts have been fashioned, with perfect success. In addition zinc has been found to do just as we'll as copper lu lIle lldnuIdcIuTe or score or ar ticles in everyday use. and is a good substitute also for brass and bronze.
 Iron and steel also substitute satis- factorily in dozens of other cases. and ! are now largely used in installing ap-
 Daratus of all kinds. in place of rub
 her. copper and brass. Zinc and alum mum and zinced iron find their use now in switchboards and the like in place of marble or slate.
 Foodstuffs: limitations have play
 ed almost if not quite as large part as substitutes for foodstuffs of which shortage has been created by the
 war. Many of the limitations are of doubtful nutritious value, some Df
 them have proved dangerous. but the authorities have kept a watchful eye on the situation and have promptly put the ban on the bad limitations and
 required the proper labelling of the good ones. The grain supply of the

Educational News Of Special Interest

enough At any time. but II is peculiarly
50 In this war whose meaning for the
! individual citizen II not so easily
brought home In 1898 and 1897. when
the Monroe Doctrine was under dis
cussion, Daniel Webster referred to
the people who thought that Ameri.
cans had no interest in the European
system OF mutual insurance for here,
ditary rulers against popular move
ments. What, they said, have We 10
do with Europe? The thunder. Il may
be said, rolls at distance. The wide
Atlantic rolls between US and danger;
and. however others may suffer. We
shall remain safe. Webster's answer
70 this question was strikingly similar
to some OF the utterances Of President
Wilson: I think It is sufficient
answer to this to say, that We are one
Of the nations OF the earth. We have
as clear and interest in international
law as individuals have in the laws of
society That was said long before
the steamship, the submarine, and the
wireless had broken down still further
our splendid isolation Today we are
fighting for our own rights. but over
and above those special rights of our
Own we are fighting for international
law itself. without which no nation
can be safe, least of all those demo
cratic governments which are less eff.
fectively organized for war than for
peace.
NO one can take an intelligent part
in a great conflict for the safety of
democracy under an orderly system of
International law unless he is really
interested in and knows something
about other nations than his own
about the differences between a repub.
iiean government like our cwn or that
OF France or the scarcely less demo
cratic constitution of Great Britain on
the one side, and, in sharp contrast to

OPPORTUNITIES FOR TEACHERS
OF HISTORY IN HAWAII
How the lessons of the great war
NAV be taught in the School room is
told in Opportunities for History
Teachers" just issued by the United
States Bureau of Education for dis.
tribution throughout the United States.
In its appeal to teachers the Bureau
says:
The nation has finally been drawn
into a great war, war which demands
for its successful prosecution not only
efficient and courageous service in
the army and navy. but also the loyal
cooperation of millions of men and
women who are not enrolled in the
fighting forces nor directly responsible
for the civil administration on which,
those forces depend.
+ First of all comes the duty of keep
ing, for teacher and pupil, the habit Of
at least trying to see things as they
really were and are. This is not easy
at any time. 1t is peculiarly difficult
at such time as this when too many
people believe a slight distortion OF
facts may be a patriotic duty. In the
long run loyalty to the country as well
as loyalty to history are best served
by looking facts squarely in the face

THE SCHOOLS AND THE
Ennn raAAICc In

Perhaps one of the most important
lines OF work of the Territorial Food
Commission is the disttnctively edu-
cational work. In this the schools OF
Hawaii can be OF genuine service. The
data published by the Food Commits
sion can be utilized directly in sthe
subject-matter OF the school curricu-
lum. The schools reach. directly and
indirectly, all the homes in the terri
tory. The school teacher can easily
inform herself concerning the facts
as to the food supply of her own par
|ticuIar school constituency. Here are
a few suggestive questions:
What are the people in my school
community raising in their own gar
dens or on their own, land for food?
What might they raise (from the
practical standpoint) that might ma
terially increase their food supply?
What foods are they importing now?
Are the other foods that might be
imported or substituted more advan-
tageously, from the standpoint Of food
conservation?
What does the average school child
in my school usually eat for break
fast? for lunch? for supper. Are there
any improvements to be suggested in
this diet?
What can l do, in a concerted way,
to interest my pupils in the food con-
servatien program Of Hawaii?

HOLLAND HOUSE
HUNTER person
WITH BIG TASK
rBy Associated Press1

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands. - The
house-hunter in Holland in the DAYS
Of the great world-war of 1917 is as
suredly an object for pity. The scar
city of houses for rent at Amsterdam,
the Hague and other centers has great
ly increased because of wars interior.
enee with the housebuilding industry
and of the influx of foreign population
INTO the Netherlands. At the Hague.
Tor instance, OF Belgians alone there
are thousands who have temporariIy
settied. The lack is particularly felt
IN respect of apartments-the Dutch
upper house" or Clover house,
ranging between 5000 and $500 in rent
So keen was the hunt after houses
IN Amsterdam recently that high re.
wards were offered for addresses Of
houses to let. Races have taken nlace
ana brlblng has been practised to find
homes. II in the morning house was
70 let, IN the afternoon it was let. In
the brief meantime thirty or forty
prospective tenants had rung the bell
and asked to see it.
The result is that landlords have
become more and more particular, and
their demands have multiplied. A
special law was passed by Parliament
to prevent the undue initiation Of
rents, so that the natural effect of the
damand has been artifically prevented.
Certain. classes of houses are unob-
tainable save by purchase, and the
purchase prices have risen enormous
ly certain houses changing hands
rapidly at an ever-mounting price.

rig philippine SCHOOLS

One of the finest achievements OF
the American democracy is the public
scbool system in the Philippine
islands. The last annual report OF the
director of Education, 1916, has just
been received, and contains much
material of interest to Hawaii The
following data will indicate the size OF
the Philippine school system:
Number of schools 4,40o.
Number of tachers 10,700.
Average daily attendance 465,OOO.
Number of school libraries $50.
Number of school gardens $4,000.
The industrial program has been de-
termined with reference to the needs
of the community. Home agricultural
work is a school requirement. CluDs
whose members undertake definite
agricultural projects are now organic
ed in schools.
The bureau cooperated with officers
of the Philippine Health Service In
the conduct of a systematic medlcai
inspection of school children.
An entirely new feature of the gar
den work was the keeping of Pupil
Daily Record in Gardening. The pro-
per use of this publication, of which
80 900 copies were in the hands OF
pupils during the year gave 1nstruc'
ton in the keeping of records and
aided in estimating the value of the
labor expended in production. Pupils
incidentally received valuable training
in neatness. pennmanship, arithmetic,
and English.
Several years ago athletics for every
pupil became a slogan of the Bureau
of Education. The idea thus expressed
was achieved much sooner than was
expected. over 95 per cent Of all
pupils in the public schools are now
taking active part in some form OF
athletics.
