immense military plant we are erect
ing in France. We don't hear much
about this. Occasionally fugitive par
agraph brings to us bit of intelligence
on the subject, but, so far, as we know,
there has been no adequate description of
| it, probably for military reasons. But
we do know that British observers are
immensely impressed with it, one Of
them remarking only recently, that we
now have docking, rail, and depot
equipment capable of handling 100000
men.
A news despatch that came last even
ing gives us a glimpse at what we have
reared in France in less than l6 months.
Our war department has ordered $40
locomotives, and is about to place an or
der for 10000 freight cars, for use on
our military railroads in France. 1t viii
be observed that this is not French
government order. These locomotives and
cars are to be part of our own rail
equipment.
What we have done is to build some
600 miles of railroad in France, with
immense docks back Of IL, and great de-
pots along its course.
Think of it! 1t is as if France had
come 70 our country to make war, had
taken Portsmouth, for example, built
miles of docks there, and, desiring base
on the Great Lakes, had constructed q
complete, perfectly equipped railroad sys-
tenn to Cleveland. This, of course, is a
rough comparison. We would not convey
the impression that we have single
stretch of road of this length, but we
have what would amount to line con-
Meeting the ocean with Lake Erie.
And il is all our own. We have made
and transported the material for it. We
have built it. We have equipped it out
of our own shops-the road, the docks,
and the supply depots. 1t Is one of the
most fancy touching incidents of the war
the creating of a really great railroad
system in a year, 5000 miles from our
own seaboard. 1t is said that what with
our overseas port and rail development
we have cut down the time Of New
York to Paris trip to five days, but that
is another story. Here is this amazing
demonstration of determination and eff
cheney.
Well, probably this was one of the
things the Hollander saw. 1t would do us
all good to see it, and to feel it, too-to
feel the gripping conviction that despite
obstacles innumerable we are going to
see this thing through right If every dol
lar we have, and every pound Of steel,
and every foot of wood we can produce,
and all the productive energy Of our
country 90 into the business. 1t has a
convincing effect, even to think about 1t.

The Mexican editors to whom Presi-
dent Wilson's memorable address on the
relations Of their country to the United
States was delivered are to see a good
bit of this country before going home.
They have been entertained in New York
City and Boston, yesterday were guests
of the General Electric company in Sche.
nectady, and to-day are TO be welcomed
in Buffalo. They viii also 60 to Detroit,
Chicago, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Los
Angeles and San Antonio. Visitations Of
this kind are not cure -alls, as past ex-
perience has shown, but that they are
calculated to beget better understanding
will not be disputed.
At the dinner given by the Boston
Chamber of Commerce one of the guests,
Leopoldo 2. Plowes, said the editors
would return with profound conviction
Of the friendship Of the United States
for Mexico. He summed up in char
acteristic way by saying: "You are a
great nation and have great soul, and
the protection that you have given to
your women is an assurance of the pro-
lection you would give to the small ma
tions to the south of your country" The
root of the matter was in that saying,
and it was put with carrying power. On
the side ofsthis country, Lieut.. Gov. Cool
dge was applauded when he said that
when Americans 90 to Mexico and OBJ
tain privileges they should remember
that the government and the people Of
Mexico have rights that no government
or people can take away. "Let us CO.
operate" said he, 'to carry the western
civilization to a higher point than any
thing it has yet attained.
1t is long road from the oratory of
a banquet to the practical realization Of
high hopes, but these words on both
sides were worth saying, and we'll said
In the threatened breaking up of the
established order which the world is now
witnessing it will not do to lose sight of

ing. If the war is teaching anything it
is the lesson that respect for the rights
of others must mark dealings between
nations in the future. This is what civ
ilization means and must be made to
stand for, and the allied world sees that
the German idea will have to be outlawed
before right understandings can be main
tanned at their face value, Meantime
and all the time there must be such Gull
tivation Of mutual respect and conf
dence between nations as this visit of
the Mexicans is calculated to advance.
It is profitable while the war is in prog
ress to do all we can for the rebuilding
Of honorable relations based on good
faith That is why there is the will
throughout this country to work with
President Wilson in promoting better
understanding with Mexico.-Springfeld

American Food Exports.

The exports Of food from the United
States for the European allies and our
army at the front have reached enor-
nous quantities and values. Though they
iluctuate in details, they maintain high
level on the whole. 1t is interesting to
observe the variations, the increases or
decreases in the supplies of different ar
ticles sent abroad. In the IL months
ended June 80, 1918, the total value OF
all descriptions of exports was S5,92S,-
900, 900. Compared with the total for
the Immediately preceding IL months,
that was 1862 100000 less, which may
be regarded as not inconsiderable de-
crease. Nearly two thirds of this de-
crease was due to a heavy reduction IN
the quantity of wheat exported. 1t was
only 34,llS,OOO bushels, against l49,s3l,-
900 in the previous year. Yet the alles
really took nearly as much as before
only, they took it in the shape OF flour,
The aour exported in the year ended
June last was 81 $4,000 barrels, where
az the quantity in the year ended June,
1917, was but IL ,942,000, worth 1851 $685.
600 less than last years quantity. Turn
ing to the other grains and emitting de.
tails of the comparatively small ups and
downs, we may say that in the fiscal
wear 1918 the exports of barley, corn,
oats and rye together amounted to 1885,
$4,000 bushels, or 2,047 900 bushels more
than in the fiscal year 1917

pounds of the first and 81 $4,000 Of the
second in the previous year, the total
increase amounting to no less than 202,-
10000 pounds. There was something
even larger than this. In the fiscal year

667, ISL 900 in 1917 and the weight Of
hams and shoulders exceeded 4l957l 900

totals of these things showing that in
the IL months just past we raised the
supplies by 30l ,0s2,000 pounds. That
