The Washington herald., 1917-08-04

the outbreak of the war her foreign
trade had reached in money value
considerably over S 5,Oo0, ,0o0, 900, making
her second to Great Britain. OF this
amount almost exactly one-half was
with the countries which are now in
alliance against her in this war.
That trade Is lost for the time be-
ing and her own authorities do not see
how Germany can hope to regain It
until many years have passed. The
longer the war be continued the great
er the difficulty Germany will meet
with in regaining even a portion of
the splendid foreign commerce which
she built up with such painstaking
endeavor for thirty years.
It 10 true that the United States
lost q large market for her COM
modities when Germany was block
AIDED, but we more than made that
up by our exports to other coun-
tries and by so increasing our trade.
chiefly on account Of the war. that
in the fscal year just ended 1t was
approximately double the foreign
trade which Germany had been
building up for thirty years.
In the financial district, or at
least that portion OF it which is in
close touch with Washington. the
suspicion Is now strongly entertained
that the leaders in German indus
try and in commerce are just be-
ginning to realize what the loss Of
this worlds trade means to Ger
many and that the sooner peace
comes the more speedily will Ger
many be able to regain her foreign
commerce. The bankers in Ger
many, realizing that years will pass
before Germany can through her for
eign trade regain such prestige as
will be a source of strength to the
financial situation in Germany. are
beginning to be very anxious, look
ing into the future somewhat des-
pairingly. They do not yet doubt
power to hold of the allies, 1t may
be for some years. But where are
the sources OF economic strength
in Germany to come from in that
time? How is her shattered for
eign commerce to be speedily re-
stored? VIII she be able to over
come the resentments occasioned
by the war so that she can after
its termination speedily renew
trade relations with other coun-
tries that are now belligerents?
Furthermore. will not conditions
that have been created by the loss
of Germany's commerce enable the
United States to become speedily
the leading nation in the world 50
far as international trade is con-
cerned? 1t Is therefore. the sus-
picion in the financial district that
much Of the peace talk that comes
from Germany is to be traced to
the earnest desire to the leaders
of her industries, her bankers. and
those who built up her foreign
commerce, that peace may not come
too late.

Pershing's Call for Young Men.

1t was perhaps inevitable that Gen.
Pershing, after surveying conditions
in the trenches Of the Western front,
should come to the conclusion that
there Is no place for officers on the
slooing side OF middle-age in the
fighting Of this war.
He recommends that no general Of
fiers more than As years of age be
sent to service in France. He is en-
tirely in line with European practice
in this recommendation. Joffre, during
the first few months of the defense OF
Paris. had to scrap hundreds, and
even thousands, OF the highest officers
in the French army, because age had
untitled them for active service. The
same procedure came in the British
army, but it was easier and simpler,
because the British had no large and
complex army system to uproo..
There is little doubt that the Per-
shing idea will be followed. 1t is be-
fore President Wilson now, and 1t has
the o. K. Of Secretary Of War Baker
upon it. OF course, it means little
less than a revolution in the regular
Promotions have been so slow in the
American army organization that a
colonel under Is years is almost
unheard of. Many majors are be-
yond that age. The army has been
in a static conditions for SO many
years that promotions have been ex-
ceedingly slow. and various methods
have been devised from time to time
to stimulate them, but without great
success.
When the Pershing expedition went
into Mexico. many colonels and others
were found to be too old ito stand the
gaff," and were ruthlessly scrapped.
That is the army way. There is no
favoritism. no indulgence, no tolera-
ton of ineficiency in the army es-
tabllshment that we have been keep
ing. 1t has been small, the mere
framework Of a real army. but what
there was OF 1t was of the highest
class, and many experts have ex-
pressed their belief that It was the
finest body OF soldiers, man for man,
in the world. Certainly no other army
has even approached the physical
standards that have been consistently
maintained o" this side of the At
lantic.
The Pershing plan, If carried into
effect, means that we will have a big
new crop Of majors, colonels and
brigadier generals in the next few
months. 1t means immense expansion,
and an opening for those who make
good" in the Officers Reserve Corps
to become a part of the regular estab-
lishment. Only in this way can the
vacancies be filed. War Is putting
US beyond the days when the army
was a mere bureaucratic machine, not
a war-making organization. More
changes are coming. They will be
radical, and doubtless political pres
sure will be invoked to obstruct them;
but Pershing will have his way. The
price Of victory is high, and one OF
its essentials Is that a Spartan STAN
dard be followed In every detail of
our army organization.

Best Service Column in City.

The number of applications for
the second series of Officers Train
ing Camps is much larger than was
at first expected. The figures made
public by the Adjutant General
show a total Of 1874, OF whom
51,S3S have already passed the
physical examinations.
This work was accomplished in
a month, as the applications were
opened June Is and closed July Is.
1t was originally stated that the
War Department would choose for
the second series Of camps about
$4,000 applicants.
Applications came in very slowly
at first. but increased with unex-
pected rapidity during the last ten
days. as a result of the active cam
paign of the War Department. The
camps will open on August u and
close November 26.
Postmaster General Burleson has
received from Marcus H. Bum,
United States postal agent in
establishing there a postal agency
for the benefit of the members of
our expeditionary force. The agen-
cy has been in operation for sew
eral weeks with full corps Of as
sistants, so that soldiers mail Is
now handled without interruption.
Besides the base postoffice, to
which all mail Is sent direct,
branches for soldiers have been es-
tablished in Paris, at one of the
important seaports, and where the
soldiers are in training. Postal
Agent Bum and his staff arrived
at the scene Of military activity
some time before his equipment,
but on the morning following his
arrival he opened a temporary post
office in a room IL by 16 in the
basement OF the army headquarters
and improvised mail facilities by
using an overturned wardrobe and
empty boxes for counters and by
hanging mail bags for the distribu-
tion of accumulated mail.
The postal service with the army
consists of picked men from the
railway mail service and the money
order and registry divisions of city
postoffices.
All the elaborate postal equip
ment which Postmaster General
Burleson directed should 60 to
France has been installed and the
employees have been assigned to
their various posts, with the result
that full postal facilities are now
at the disposal of our soldiers in
France.
The sinking of the American steam
ship Motano, reported by the Navy
Department, marks the fourth Amer
ican vessel lost the complement Of
which was insured in the seamen's
division of the bureau of war-risk in
surance of the Treasury Department.
The Motano carried a crew of forty
five men, insured with the bureau. Re-
ports indicate that thirteen Of the
crew are missing. UP to the present
time the names Of the missing men
have not been learned, and for this
reason It is not possible to estimate
the insurance payable to their depend
ents.
The other three vessels, carrying
crews insured with the bureau of
war-risk insurance, and reported lost,
were the steamship Kansan, the
schooner Augustus Welt, and the
motor ship Carmela. Four men were
reported lost with the Kansan, but
the sinking of the other two vessels
was not accompanied by casualties.
