statistics, says Portland Oregonian. In

1t was closed two months Of 1915 on
account of slides, and the number Of
ships which passed through was LII,
carrying a tonnage of 4,966,560. There
was a decided shortage of shipping

the tonnage passing through was
only 4,931,9 OIL, carried by 1858 ships,
the number of the latter being in

decreased. But 1917 bids fair to es-

months of the year go ships, with

GERMANY HATES FEMlNlsM.

There is some interest, If not equal
Importance, in the fact that America,
reputed throughout the world as the
land of feminism, the -fund of priv
heged womanhood, is ut war with the
country in which the claims of fem
lnism are most universally and vio-
lently detested and the claims of
culinism most loudly asserted and gen.
orally accepted. Herr Voechting
wrote a book a few years ago On
,"The American Cult of Woman" in
which he congratulated his own Ger
many on being safe from the danger
that was engulfing the United States
in ruin and degradation. If we ac-
knowledge the awful impeachment
brought against us out of the logic of
kultur, what shall we say on our part
Of that masculinism which expresses
itself among the men of Germany in

forming little acts of kindness and hui
manity for the prisoners within the

ism in the kaiser's empire that wOm-
81 themselves are among its stanch-
est adherents, says Philadelphia Bull
letin. No other land could eve make
a creed of subjecting to constant in
suit and cruelty the helpless and the
wounded. The masculinism of Amer
lea is OLA different sort, despite the
gloating assertion of Herr Voechting
that we have sunk too low to lay claim
to anything of such a title. We pre-
fer our own variety.
