THE NEW WHALING INDUSTRY

The New Bedford and Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket whalers used to send forth ships fitted to stay at sea ortrh .etaoinshrdlu ununun fitted to stay for three years if neces- sary Bold and stubborn shippers have been known 10 keep at voyage much longer than that. remember song they used to sing the Atlantic coast years ago. about Nantucket skipper who back after five years, and when hailed by all those who held a lay share in his venture as they thronged upon the wharf to welcome him home crying. What luck capn?" heartily replied: 'Haint got one drop of oil-but we've had dammned fine sa,"
 It picturesque and great era of American life, and it has produced least one classic of American literature, namely, Herman Melvilles won derful romance of "Moby Dick When Nantucket and New Bedford gave up the industry, many of the old ships were taken around the Horn to San Fran cisco making that port the headquarters shorter and less costly voyages Leaving the Golden Gate midwinter. the whalers would sail among the South Sea Islands trading until spring, when they would turn northward to the Okhotsk Sea- they would hunt in the foggy waters of the Kamehatka Strait or else keep the dwindng trail of the ice ever north ward through Boring Sea- and into the Arctic where sometimes they trapped and forced to stay for two three years. Twelve years ago. last of the San Francisco ventures ceased.
 But there plenty of whales available when new and less expensive, rather, more profitable methods could be devised to hunt and utilize them The old industry only interested the right the bowhead, and the sperm whale.

BEAUTY FOR LITTLE HOUSES

The March Woman's Home Companion carries the following encouraging thought:
 Just because house is little or inexpensive is no reason why it should not have personality com 1ort and charm In the little community group of homes located at Indian Hill, Worcester Massa- chusetts this statement has been proved bevond doubt. Here there well over fifty modest little homes built on the unit plan, but each one so indi- vldual that the effect, taken both simply and col lecuVely, IS artlsuc and picturesque to inspiring degree. Each little home fronts the street and is set well back from it so that it may have a stretch of green lawn There is tree in every yard and a place for garden at the rear. White walls gray green roofs lattices for vines the windows ard along the porches make home pictures that usually are only possible for well peonle to possess

It is to be doubted whether the people of Europe are sensitive about their ruins some would have believe. Unless European character has been changed beyond all belief by the experiences of war it is than likely that the American tourist will be as eagerly welcomed as of yore Just doubt, he isn't in any great demand, as Europe has other things think about than gathering in the tourists change the tourist would be in the way, eating food utilizing fuel end in general being a liability instead of asset. Europe isn't so much in need of money of the things that money will buy, and the tourists money isn't valuable the wealth he would consume
 But that will aG change shortly. Before the the United States could be counted upon to spend 1Q0 million dollars year in Europe fact well known that the tourist always a factor in any calculations of international business and trade bal ances in which the United States involved. The American tourist was one of Europes best indus tries, and millions upon millions invested in the vraous devices to get his money. These enter prices will be in full blast soon as they can be established. Of that there be little doubt
 The European is sentmentalist Life at the best in Europe is little too harsh for the majority of the people to permit them to indulge in any pensive notions They need the money and the best little provder has been the American tourist with his Indifference to prices. Your Frenchman your Belgian, your Swiss, individually all a canny lot, always willing turn honest penny everyone knows who has had experience with them. They the less brave and heroic races because bravery and heroism have nothing to do with prodigality thrift.
 The declaration that Europe does not want America to to the battle fields to satisfy vulgar curiosity" very probably uttered by sentimental American who has taken little too seriously to heart the general of international discourse it is altogether likely that there will be discreet futation of this idea tourist travel to Europe be restored.
 Europe managed to tolerate our vulgar curos- ity' for good many years and it would be strange if, when Europe will be under the obligation to pay 800 million dollars year interest she should be too naughty to take part of it back from tourists The European is human being, just like the rest of us, much that willing to guess that the most noted battle fields will be pre- served in manner that could well initiate both to artistic effects and financial returns-Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

 Dear Sir:
 Today's Republican contained poem by Private Shaw. which is one of the few real poems 1 have read that were written by Arizonians. l have read many verses that purported to have been written by cowboy poets, or poet scouts. but I could not make myself be- lieve their writers were either poets, cowboys or scouts; and here comes along a real soldier poet, who knows the mountains and plains of Arizona and can make one who loves them, see them through his verses.

pie. That spirit seems to have caught
with each age the Characteristic purpose
Of the age.
"This imperial people now gladly rep
resents the freedom Of nations. This
people which at one time seemed to con
eeive the purpose of governing the world
now takes part in the liberal enterprise
of offering the world its own govern
ment. Can there be finer or more i'm
pressive illustration Of the indestructible
human spirit, and of the unconquerable
spirit Of liberty?
II have been rejecting in these recent
days about a colossal blunder which has
been made-the blunder of force by the
central empires. If Germany had waited
a single generation, she would have had
a commercial empire of the world She
was not willing to conquer by skill, by
enterprise, by commercial success. She
must needs attempt to conquer the world
by arms, and the world will always ac-
claim the fact that ii is impossible to
conquer by arms; that the only thing
that conquers it is the sort of service
which can be rendered in trade, in inter
course, in friendship, and that there is
no conquering power which can suppress
the freedom Of the human spirit.

calling loudly for President Wilson to
appear on the balcony. The president and
Mrs Wilson, together with their royal
hosts, responded TO the call. At their
appearance on the balcony the crowd
went wild, cheering madly for President
Wilson and for America. The presiden.

All the way down the coast on his
way to Rome Mr.. Wilson was given
most cordial greeting. He displayed
greatest interest in historic landmarks
along the railway, which few months
