the outskirts. where there is molt
room. where taxes are lower. and
where there is more freedom from
burdensome restrictions. Yet the
city derives from these plants every
benefit in the way of trade that it
could get were they situated within
the corporate limits. The capital IS
largely banked in the city, supplies
are purchased there whenever posi-

large payrolls goes directly to the
city merchants.
Capitalists are not governed by
sentiment when investing their mo-
ney, and the Baltimore countians
who are trying to hold on to all OF
their territory insist that men like
Mr. Schwab are not concerned
whether city stands first or 1iftieth
in the list if it offers them the ad-
vantages they are seeking. They
urge that annexation, while bad for
the county, would also be bad for
the city, because large manufactur-
ers prefer the lower taxes and great
er liberty of the county.

NEED MORE CLERKS
FOR CENSUS RETURNS

All the city hall stenographers are
assisting in compiling the returns
from the military census More twp
lists and clerks are needed at the
common council chamber to assist in
the work. The completion of the
census is being delayed because of
the lack Of volunteer clerks to work
at city hall.
If the proposed number of yolun-
teers had come forward the work
would be nearly completed. It will
take probably two weeks to cop,p1ete
the census unless more clerks and
typists volunteer.
Charles Fl. Suckley, assistant su-
perintendent Of the police, is in charge
of the work and as fast as tile re-
turns are tabulated they are forward
ed to Hartford.

AMERICAN TEMPERAMENT
A PREPAREDNESS ASSET

In Everybody's for March. Lord
Northcliffe answers the question
What part do You think America will
play II she enters the war;" His an
swer is especially significant because
1t was cabled on February Sd. Just
before we broke off diplomatic rela-
tons with Germany. He says, in
part:
There liz some form Of prepared
ness which can be quickly attained
and for which the American tempera-
ment is entirely suitable. Two of the
successes OF the war have been the
aeroplane and the destroyer. The
American airmen with the French
and British armies have proved that
this individual form Of fighting is
particularly suited to your people. II
you start air-schoo1s in localities as
free from wind and gales as possible
you can quickly train flying men.
Some Of the best Of ours are mere
boys, from seventeen to twenty-five
You could easily get the models Of
the latest British and French aero
planes, and with your unrivalled
manufacturing facilities you could
multiply engines by the thousand.
"Our navy believes that the work
Of your naval officers and destroyers
ID OF first quality. Our people, while
} admirfng certain qualities OF German
seamanship, consider that their de-
stroyer work lacks individuality,
Quickness, and aggressiveness. The
destroyer Is one Of the best enemies
Of the submarine, and is also useful
in many other ways. Under pressure
OF war, complete destroyers are turn
Cd out in this country in a few
months. You have steel in album

les. There Is no reason why you
should not multiply by hundreds your

"You' could help the alliance by as

Of financing Russia, Belgium. Italy,
Serbia. Rurnania, Montenegro, and. to
lesser extent France. You could al

nomic Conquest Of
Neighbor.

Picking. March S.-Chinese newspa-
oers are devottng much space to dis
cussion of the apparent change in ia
pans attitude towards China. Pa
pers Of all parties and factions share
the opinion that Japan has abandon
ed. at least temporarily. all thought
Of physical conquest Of China, and is
devoting itself to an economic con-
quest.
Japanss attitude towards the new
American enterprises in China and
the renewed efforts Of Japanese bank
ers to entrench themselves more thor
oughly through loans Of various sorts
are widely discussed In the Chinese
press as we'll az In parliament. The
following statement from the Picking
Daily News Is representative Of the
view generally taken by the Chinese
press: "At Toxic the belief prevails
that Japan viii continue here endeav-
or to increase her political influence
In China. The Japanese business men
are continually clamoring for a po1iti-
cal ascendency that will not be SO
abrupt ais to endanger peace. What
they want Is thorough economic
conquest Of the neighboring republic
s'The readiness with which the Chi
nese recently granted American capi-
talists the concession to build q long
railroad and their hesitation in max
ing contracts with the Japanese have
awakened the japanese to the fact
that ascendency In China, to be sue
cessful must be accompanied by some
measure Of trust and confidence. The
Japanese have tricked the Chinese so
much that the Chinese have lost all
confidence in their neighbors, both
politically and commercially.
'.The situation as it stands between
the United States, China and Japan
is In its infancy, but it Is growing
daily and will have to be taken into
consideration soon.'
Chinese papers throughout the re-
public show hostility to any financial
arrangement in which Japan has 9
hand. There Is general disposition
to discourage joint action between
any group off oreign powers and
China, II Japan be included Id the

JUST STOP and THINK !

JUDI CkVA OaAu AkNA
When every day the people read
Of actions that they should not
heed;
When papers print and bring to
light
The things that make us want to
fight;
Just stop and think of everything
That's brought by death and suf-
feringl
When boats are sunk and tales are
told
Of actions brave and deeds so
bold;
When blood flows quick and BAN
ners fly,
And men and boys go out to die;
Just stop and think Of what it
means;
To men and women, kings and
queens!
When many politicians want
This country to resent a taunt;
When certain men design to gain
By fighting, killing, death and
pain;
Just stop and think Of all the horror
Brought to mothers in their sor-
row!
When at this time some cry for war,
We should be calm and keep the
law.
When fight we must, we'll all re-
spond,
To do our share across the pond.
But stop and think ere you COM
mence,
Of the result and consequence!
They all should now obey the call,
Of Brotherly-Love, Goodwill to
ALL
Humanity should up and cry,
It's surely wrong to make them
die
Then war would stop and horrors
cease;
There'd be naught else on earth
but peace.
