RRAZIL,s POSITION.

With the announcement which has been made by the foreign minister of Brazil to the various legations in that country, that the different countries which they represent may know how this South American country stands in regard to the revocation of the neutrality of that republic as regards the state of war existing between the United States and Germany, it is made plain that Brazil has done only what any self respecting nation must do when confronted with the conditions under which it was laboring.
 Brazifs position was much the same as that of the United States. It rec ognized that Germany was transgress- ing it's rights, that protests amounte d to nothing and that Germany did not intend to respect the privileges which belonged to it under international law Brazilian lives and property had been destroyed without warning and without justifica tion and from the attitude which Germany has taken in regard to such pifatical operations it was plainly to be seen that it did not in tend to change it's policy of ruthless ness against the neutral as we'll as against the belliSerent. It was there fore useless to attempt to delay and haggle over the situation. It called for resen tn1ent on the part of the i'm iured nation and that is what Brazil has shown by the action that has been taken. Like this country Brazil did as much as: if not more than, ought to be expected of it in order to bring desperate Germany to a reali- zation of what it was doing, but all without avail.
 How thoroughly Brazil displays it's approval of this country's action and it's close ties with this country is plainly set forth in the statement of Foreign Minister Pecanha when in explanation of his country's move in siding with the United States he said Brazil could not remain indifferent from the moment the United States found itself involved in disinterest- cd struggle for the rights of the peo-- pie and when Germany meted out in discriminatory to Brazil the most bru- tai treatment"

SELFISHNESS PROMPTS THE EFF
 FORT

Those who are always opposing the placing of restrictions upon or limit ing the hours of labor of women and children never fail to take advantage of every opportunity to break down the legal barrier which prevents them from getting the benefit of cheap help and long hours. They are everlast- ingly looking out for their own inter- ests without regard to the effect that will be had upon those who are direct ly concerned. In fact their selfish ness surmounts everything else.
 This is plainly manifested in the effort that has been made to have the federal child labor law suspended by act of congress and the legislation which has been enacted in the state of New York providing for the re- moval of the legal restrictions on the labor of women and children during the period of the war. As might be expected there is the strongest kind Of opposition being manifested to- wards the move to prevent the opera ton of the federal law, and thereby extend the period during which chil- dren can continue to do the work of grownups in the mills of the south and Governor Whitman of the Empire state by his veto has put his foot down against such a relaxation of the law as was proposed in his state
 This is not the only country in which such an effort was made. In England for instance the labor laws were actually abrogated and there it was clearly demonstrated that not only was there no benefit obtained therefrom but that it proved to be actually detrimental. It worked harm 10 the individual and it had its i'll ef- fleets upon the output. so that there is more than the usual good req sons for opposing any such plan in this country.
 It must he recognized therefore that Governor Whitman has done the right thing in blocking this legislation which would have meant a return to conditions which were long ago de- clared undesirable, and that if it is needed the whole country should lend it's assistance in opposing the move to interfere with the operation of the federal child labor law

THE KRoNsrApr ERROR.

With the turn of affairs in Russia where the delegates of the workmen
 and soldiers insist upon taking charge of Kronstadt, the military post which
 is of much importance in the defense of Petrograd, and setting up a sepa- rate government which will not be
 answerable to the coalition govern ment a serious situation is presented as those O. the Russian cabinet well recognize
 Although this post Is a strongly for tiied point it is located upon an isl- and from which it is possible for the main government to withhold all sup
 plies and sooner or later to bring those in the fortress to subjection. It is a case where those who are at the head of this new movement apparent ly overestimate their power and abil- ity It is move such as those who are responsible for it should understand cannot be accepted if the new Russia is going to stand on firm founda- tion. What is needed at the present time is loyalty to the new government and the lending of all possible assist ance in making it strong and success full But those who are credited with this assumption of power seem to think that strength lies in division instead of unity. They have got to learn, or De taught the oid maxim, united we stand, divided we fall"
 There are indications in the course of the affairs in that country that the thirst for power and the increased privileges which go with democracy have gone to their heads. They are not used to such things and they are letting matters run wild. They are not used to thinking along such lines and they hope to reach the goal which others have required long years of trials and tribulation to attain. in one grand slam, without looking for or seeing the pitfalls which lie in their path. The chaotic conditions in view of the tremendous overturn which has taken place there may not be surpris- ing, but 1t is bound to be terribly de- trimental, if not suicidal, if they do not come to their senses, profit from the experience and advice of those who are their friends, look the situa- ton straight in the face and govern themselves accordingly.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society.

Cadiz and the Germans-Rumors of diplomatic dickerings between cer- tain prominent Spanish politicians and the German government looking toward the use by German transat- lantic liners of the Spanish seaport of Cadiz as a first and last port of call at the conclusion of the world war. bring into high relief this great city of ancient and of 18th century Spain but a place of small importance in 20th century commerce. The Ma tionaI Geographic Society, from its Washington headquarters, issues an interesting bulletin on the physical as poets of the Andalusian port. It says:
 Although it's importance began to wane when Spain's colonial began to diminish, and it's commerce reached low water mark following the restruc- ton of Spanish trade with Cuba and Porto Rico as a result of the Spanish American war, CadiZ still maintains brave and beautiful front to world travellers. Situated on a narrow ton que of land which juts out from the Is.e de Leon a distance of five miles, it seems 8 veritable magic city with its tall, turreted houses all snow white. It is said that every house is white washed at least once a year. A famous writer has said that the most fitting description of the port is the word white written with a white pencil on blue paper.

THE FARM LABOR PROBLEM.

It has been recognized from the very start of the movement for the growing of increased crops that one of the great troubles which would be experienced would be the lack of help. Shortage of farmhands has been ern- phasized for a number of years par ticularly during harvest time, but with the planting of increased acreages the need of even a greater army of as sistants became evident, and the need is not confined solely to the harvest season. Much help in the way of get ting more produce from the soil is going to be given by the householder who plants a garden where none ex- isted before. This work will be done In spare time and would not be obtain able otherwise, but that does not by any means solve the problem in the asri- cultural sections of the country. Flow ing. planting, cultivating and harvest ing machinery can and will be ern- pIoyed there in an endeavor to reach the desired goal and make the crop output of the country this year the greatest ever. but regardless of these mechanical contrivances there is need of man power
 There is always a floating popuIa- tion which should have no difficulty in securing employment this year, and if they do not respond something more than persuasion ought to be used in their cases, but an excellent example is being set by college men through out the country, who are not of the proper age to be included in the con scription. in volunteering their ser vices on the farms of the west and middle west, the south and the east, or in fact wherever they can be of the most benefit They will be set to work on unfamiliar tasks but they

 Going out ?' Henry inquired, for I had on my coat and carried my hat. It just showed the power of sugges- tion.' I took the letter he extended to me and mailed 1t, as before, in my inside pocket.
 Tt was a lively and fierce corre- spondence. I believe the gas com pany threatened to sue and Henry roared back to sue and be horn-swog- gled. All his acquaintances were brea tl1lessly awaiting the outcome of the fight. Alicia was the bright star at teas and card parties, telling Of their horrible troubles with the ridic- uhous gas company.
 Finally, the gas company, through myself of course, wrote Henry curt.y that they wanted no more trouble over the affair and would shut off his gas if he didn't remit. Thereupon Henry gave the maid orders that she was to admit any gas man only over her dead body. Nobody arrived to do the deed. It was because I was waiting for the day when Alicia and Henry were giv- ing large and elaborate dinner party. At in the afternoon I rang up the house and told the maid that. man was coming out immediately to shut off the gas Alicia was at her charity board meeting miles away and the maid frantically phoned her of the en- suing tragedy and said that the wo man caterer at work in the kitchen was having mysteries regularly every five minutes.
 Alicia tore home gasping with hor- TOT and mounted guard at the windows and doors. She said 1t was the most awful thing that had ever befallen her and she wanted to die! When Henry got home he wanted to die. too, be hope and expressing his rage md wrath at the gas company. Honestly, those people were seeing things! Every tinkle of bell made them start with wretched anticipation and when the guests began arriving the tension was awful You see, we didn't know whether it was a guest or a husky gas man with a wrench in one fist
 The guests were as nervous as the family, too, when they discovered that the dinner might stop cooking any second. And the arrival of each course hailed with a gasp of relief that at any rate they had got that far. When we hit the frozen stuff and cof- fee I hauled out of my pocket all Henry's vitriolic letters and threw them at him.

But Go redeem our merchant fleets from the submarine, to redeem our trade from pawn, and to redeem our then strickon allies from still further depredations, we will be obliged to accept peace on terms of an American indemnity.

It is immaterial whether this danger could have been avoided. It is useless to discuss whether blunders have been committed. You are in the war and you are in it to a finish.
