ITALY'S "WHITE COAL"

(Salem, Ore, Manufacturer, June 6,
 1918O
 Italy has learned from the war an economic lesson that is full of interest for Americans. When coal had nearly disappeared, and their industries were on the point of suspending, the Ital- ians began to make a more extensive use of their water power. The ex- cellent results of their efforts are shown in the following figures, given by the New York Times. In 1S56-S6 the applications forw ater filed with the Italian government amounted to 86 horsepower; in 1899 to 2,160 horse power! in 1914 to 100,000 horsepower. Today the sum of $120, 0,000,00O is in vested in hydro-electric companies, and the annual horsepower is more than 100000, 900.
 It ought not to require such a bit ter experience as Italy's to convince Americans of the wisdom of develop ing to the utmost extent water bowen purposes.
 The U. s. Chamber of Commerce after citing the great necessity for development of our potential water power at this time resolved by an overwhelming vote that the immedi- ate passage of legislation which will make available at earliest possible date the water powers of the country be urged earnestly upon Congress

REVOLUTION TO
 COME AFTER WAR SAY SOLDIERS
Order Issued by Military Commander Sheds Light
 on Attitude of Men.

British Headquarters in France, Aug. 23-(By the Associated Press)- An order issued by German military commander and which is more illumi- hating than anything that has come out of Germany in many months says:
 Tt has come to my knowledge, through a letter addressed to the royal Prussian ministry of war, that men on leave have spoken publicly of a revolution which is, to break out after the war.
 ''I wish to impress all superior of ficers who happen to overhear such objectional talk or who hear of it through others that they must deal with it at once and without hesita- ton. The home authorities and the director of military railroads have been requested to take corresponding measures"

AMERICA NOT PREPARED FOR
 WAR OF 1872
Non Militaristic Character of America Shown By Re-
 view of Conditions Then.
ECONOMYWATCHWORD
 OF THE FINANCIERS
Collapse of United States Bank in 1911 Made a Ser
 ious Situation.

Washington, Aug. 23-The United States has ever been non-mi1itaristiv nation, and no peter evidence of that fact is to be found than in the condi- tions existing just prior to the second war with England.
 Although it had been known for 8 long time that another war was possi- ble, every effort was made to reduce the size of the army and navy, and preparedness measures were 'discour- aged This course arose largely from the influence of Secretary Gallatin, who had succeeded Alexander Ham1l- ton as head of the treasury. Gallatin needed to reduce the running expenses of the government. He hoped that by this means the people might be re- lieved of a. large share of the taxation which had been placed upon them.
 Gallatin succeeded in curtailing public expenses to such a degree that the budget for 1902, 1903 and 1894 called for an expenditure of only $4,- 000,000 as compared with the $7,500,- 900 spent in 1900.
 John Randolph, chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, was an enemy to internal taxation and through his influence a repeal act was passed which overthrow a great part of the tax system which had been in augurated by Alexander Hamilton.
 Then came the purchase of the Lou isiana Territory which cost $15 900, 900 and to meet this outlay Gallatin pro- posed the issue of $11,250, 900 worth of new bonds bearing six per cent inter est. Owing to the war in Europe, American commerce was 1ourishing, export trade was brisk and prices were high. As a result, the success of the ] loan was far greater than had been expected.
 The brush with Tripo1i, however. made additional revenue a matter of necessity, but instead of restoring the excise duties which had formerly pre- vailed. Congress on March 26, 1894, .uthorized an addition of 21a per cent. on all imported articles subject to ad valorem duty and an additional 10 per cent. on all goods imported in foreign vessels. The proceeds of this act were known as the Mediterranean Fund and was used for the protection 1 or the COlllIueICS, anu SSc1IlAOh VI 'A-N United States against the Barbary Powers, and was to be levied until a treaty was made.
 It was not until 1907, when war threatened that President Jefferson | much against his will, agreed to an l increase of expenditures for national defense. At the same time he entered
 upon the alternate policies of non-im
 portation of manufactured goods and
 of prohibiting shipping to leave Amer
 ican ports. This completely upsets th' customs receipts which fell from S16,

What to do-Yes, and how to do it. I presume many of you will want to swat" me for discussing again the same old subject of the fly, the ty- phoid fly, but I would have big job if in turn I was to swat every one of you that have read and approved of what I have told you about the fly and have done absolutely nothing to prevent its breeding.
 Now, 1t is a fact which you canIlOt reasonably dispute, that if your horses and cows were free from the cruel bother of flies during the entire sum- mer, they would be able to render you greater service and be in better condition in the fall. Isn't that so? Putting it on a purely cash basis, re- gardless of the health or lives of your family and it would pay you and all of your neighbors to prevent the fly from breeding. But looking at the matter of only one case of typhoid fever in your family in five years and from that standpoint alone it would pay to eliminate the flies from your premises.
 Impossible? Not a bit of 1t. If you have lots of stock around your barns then you must have lots of land and should have a manure spreader. There is always some field or pasture where it can be spread at any time, and the land is better and the value of the manure is greater if spread while fresh. Just a short bit of time every morning and you have finished job that must be done at some sea- son and why not now? Keep the barns clean and the manure scattered out on the fields, where it does good instead of harm and the flies cannot find breeding place except around filthy back door, the slop barrel, gar | bage can or the hog pen.
 | If the flies swarm around your back | door and breed in dirty mess where kitchen slops are thrown, then I must ] say that neither you nor your house. keeper are clean. Yes, I know I am far enough away to be safe, but after you get your place into a sanitary 1 condition, just come over and take l breakfast with me on the back porch If you have only one cook or even three and a couple of horses, then build 8 pit or tight box as & recepta- cle for the manure and other waste | or garbage that is to be carted off. Put screens over a portion if you want the air to get in, but fix it so the flies cannot get in there to deposit their eggs and you simply prevent the breeding upon your place of count less millions of dirty pests. Then make it rule to kill every fly you can. Trap them with screen traps, fly poison, sticky fly paper and any other device known to be effective, but kill them some way, also kill the rats; they carry disease, kill chickens and destroy food.

 mixed with corn meal and placed around their runaways in pans will destroy hundreds of them. Mix about

 LOW IN NUMBER
 OF HONEY BEES

There are 75,OO0,OO0 honey bees in Connecticut, says an official of the food committee, who has been study ing the agricultural survey made by the State Council of Defense and the Farm Bureaus. When asked how the experts arrived at these figures, it was explained that the census takers recorded a total of 3,400 hives or col onies and that according to the best authorities there are from 10000 to %, 900 bees in a single colony. It was further stated that this was only a small number; that there ought to be 1 1,500, ,000, 900 honey bees in Connecticut, or 20 times the present bee popu1a- ton of the state The point is that not one pound of honey out of 20 is being recovered. The balance is go- ing to waste in the air.
 Each colony can be expected to produce from 40 to 50 pounds of honey or total of 15O,OO0 pounds each year, and yet the production of honey is not the chief duty of bees. Their most important function is to polli- nate plants and thus insure fruitful ness in many garden and orchard crops. Bee-keepers are orally public benefactors. Litchfield with a total of nearly 700 colonies has more bees than any other county in the state. Fairfield county stands second with little less than 600, and New Haven county third with over 400 colonies.
 It does not require a lot of expen-
 sive apparatus to keep a few bees. A colony can work in a barrel and if one is not an expert or is too much of a coward to go near the bees, he can recover the honey some zero day in winter, when the bees are inactive a nd h ,.rnnlass

'3O0,000 to $7,200,000 and at the same time expenditures for war increased from $1,s0o,o00 in 1907 to $230O,oO0 in 1909. Fertilization of ports and harbors was .hastened, gun boats were purchased and the regular army was enlarged.
 Since affairs had reduced them selves to greatly decreased revenues and greatly increased expenditures Secretary Gallatin confronted deficit in the budget which amounted to $1,300,000. This was provided for, however, by a balance which remain ed on hand in the treasury, while in 1909 the Embargo Act was repealed and commerce was resumed with great Vigor. In 1910 the customs yielded $S,500D00 and in 1911 this amount was increased to s13,3OO,O0O. The appropriation for the army and navy was reduced and immediate financial danger was safely tided over.
 During this decade there had been remarkable reduction of the public debt which between 1901 and 1911 was cut down by $38,000,0OO. The foreign debt, which included the stocks of 1795 and the loans of 17sSl and 1900, was wiped out and no further recourse was made to tenn porary loan.
 The year 1911 was memorable in the financial history of the United States, for it marked the collapse of the United States Bank. The direct nF tho inc gress for renewal of their charter, Secretary Gallatin, reported in favor Of 1t, with certain recommendations for changes in the banks policy, Among them was that the bank be required to pay interest on all govern ment deposits above $3,00O,eOO and also that it should loan to the gov ernment at any time a sum not to ex- ceed 60 per cent. of it's apital. Other influences were at work, however, and vigorous opposition to the renewal of the banks charter was manifested in Congress. The con- stitutionality of the bank was ques- tioned and it was denounced as "an undemocratic political institution. !" The bill for renewal of it's charter was lost in the Senate Feb. II, 1911, when George Clinton, vice president of the United States, cast the deciding vote 1 against it.
 It then became necessary for the government to turn to local banks for the custody of its funds, and q of these institutions, located for the most part in the principal ports of entry, were employed for this pur- pose.
 The trouble between England and the United States had been growing all of that time, and despite lack of preparation on the part of the new country, war was declared in June
 1912, and Congress was again called upon to face extraordinary financial i demands.
