Japan's Grouping Commerce

, rFrom the Nations Businessl
Japanese industries and CONNER
cial enterprises we're multiplying ten
times faster at the end of the war
than in 1914. In 1918, of course
tho number of promotions that got
no farther than the paper stage was
much larger than in the earlier year,
and there is at present no way OIL
eliminating these from the hgures.
IN the face of the statistics. manu-
featuring showed the greatest rate
of growth. In 1914 about $14,ooO,-
600 of new capital went INTO manu-
featuring. and 1918 the announced
capitalization of new enterprises
vas s366 100000. That the Japan
ese have got a taste for big under
takings appears in recent an
nouncement of new steamship
company; it plans to have construct
ed SO steamers of 5000 tons this
year. and "a next year, with Few
5OO0-ton boats thrown in for good
measure. Japan can probably build
the vessels, too;. for she had 4
building ways in 1914 and now pos'
sesses 145.
Japan has always managed to
have a reputation for great re-
sources. In that respect 1t appar-
entity has not changed greatly since
the year 1928, when that ancient
worthy, Marco Polo. assured his
readers the amount of gold in Japan
was endless. One of our modern
contemporaries points out that Jap
an now has in one of her banks more
gold than all the feudal chiefs of

1t is now possible to computa
with accuracy the profit and loss OF

Nations, with six votes to the one
of the United States or any other
Power;

East.
Reparation for injuries and losses
to civilians.

Alsace Lorraine;
The Sarre Valley;
A barrier all along the Rhine
against another German attack;
Reparation for injuries and losses
to civilians.
BELGIUM WINS:
Restored independence.
Reparation for her injuries and
losses in the war.
ITALY WINS:
Restoration of Italia Irredenta;

Reparation for injuries and losses
in the war.
Japan WINS:
Former German islands in the
Pacific;

PRO-GERMAN ATTITUDE

TT is difficult to understand the
attitude of the Legislature as it
- approaches the close of the ses-
sion in the matter of certain meas
ures providing for the elimination of
regulations established for the bene-
ft of German interests in pre-war
times. In view of persistent Ger
man propaganda, through publica-
tions of one sort and another, 1t
would seem that the Legislature of
Pennsylvania would get into line
with the law-making bodies of other
States in repeating acts having no
other purpose than the promotion
of alien interests.
1t has been suggested that certain
members of the Legislature will be
entitled to return home with the
spiked helmet and an iron cross for
their consistent and Jealous sup
port and defense of measures which
should have been wiped off the stat
ute books long ago. The Bolard
bill, providing for official advertis-
ing in English newspapers only. is
through the House. but has been re-
posing a long time in the judiciary
general committee of the Senate. At
this late day it ought not be ,neces-
sary for the newspapers of Penn
sylvania to combat German propa-
ganda as exploited in official adver-
tising and the Bolard bill should
long ago have been IN the hands of
lGovernor SprouI.

MAKING PATRIOTS

20 MORE touching sight has
Nj been seen in Harrisburg for
\ many a day than that of the
aged veterans of the Civil War and
the Boy Scouts marching side by
side in the Memorial Day parade.
There is nothing spectacular about
the Scouts-no fancy military drills,
no gay uniforms. nothing of pomp
or ceremony; the keynote of their
organization is service. and service
it was that took them into the pa
rade on Friday with the men of the
Grand Army. They carried canteens
OF pure, cool water that the older
marchers might have needed as re-
freshment against the unusual ply
steal exertions of the long march in
the heat Service, not self. is as much
the motto of the Scouts as that other
motto of theirs-"Be prepared"
1t is fine thing to have once a
year such a procession as that of
Memorial Day, when the veterans of
the Sixties. of Cuba. Porto Rico, the
Philippines, China and Mexico,
marched in serried ranks with the
younger men Just back from the

American Efficiency

GFrom the Philadelphia Record.
1t was wise little dose of psychol-
ogy that the Second regiment of en-
gineers at Coblenz administered To
the Germans on Sunday when they
bridged the Rhine in just one min
ute less than one hour A German
major testified that when his peo-
pie, in their retreat. moved back
across the Rhine their engineers
using the same material, bridged the
river in. four hours, and thought il a
particularly rapid job. Two weeks
ago another regiment of American
engineers cut that time in half. and
greatly amazed the Germans. Now

NEXT YEAR, PERHAPS

DHE Harrisburg Chamber of
Commerce has acted wisely in
calling of the parade for re-
turned soldiers which it had planned
for the Fourth of July. The soldiers
have had a surfeit of parades. They
have been under orders" so long
that they are naturally resentful of
any attempt to get them back into
the ranks, if even for a day. They
want to feel free to observe the
great national holiday precisely as
they see fit. 1t is for us to bow to
their wishes, much as some of us
might like to have opportunity of
seeing them all together and of
paying to them tribute of the ap-
plause they so much deserve.
Next year, perhaps. they may feel
differently about it, May be then a
grand reunion of Harrisburg men
who served with, the colors in the
war with Germany might prove a
popular means of getting them to-
gether for parade, to be followed
by celebration. At all events, the
idea is worth keeping in mind. One
OF these days there will come creep
ing into the hearts of these men,
Just now so heartily sic kof every
thing military. desire for a taste
OF the old life, longing to touch
shoulders with their comrades of
camp and field, and to march again
IN the long. swinging columns
for which the American armies are
famous. Then will come our oppor-
tunity to finance really popular
demonstration in their honor.

DISTRIBUTING ESTATES

"THILE the disposition of pri-
Wv vate estates is a matter for
decedents there is always
more or less public interest in the
distribution of the accumulations of
years We are passing into new
day with relation to the response
biIity of stewardship of property and
there is an increasing public senti-
ment favorable to a more intelligent
and generous attitude on the part
of owners of property toward the
larger demands of the public inter-
est as against the purely personal
and family relation.
The other day a well-known wo-
man of Harrisburg passed to her
reward leaving considerable sums TO
worthy public charities in this city
and this feature of her will has been
the subject of much favorable COM
ment.
The Telegraph has on more than
one occasion urged the establish
rnent of a Harrisburg Foundation
for the purpose of making more
nractical the handling of public be-
ouests in this city. We believe that
MANY generous givers in providing
for the distribution of their estates
would be glad to have such an or
ganization through which to make
effective their gifts to the commun-
inv. Next to the generous citizen
CARRYING out during his own lie
the purposes which appeal to him IN
the matter of public benefits, such
foundation would be the most prac-
tical solution of the difficulties which
frequently confront those charged
with the distribution of private prop
erty.
we shall hope that the Harris
burg Foundation" may become
reality soon, and that, through It,
millions of dollars now in private
hands will find their way into sub
stantial and worthy enterprises FOR
the benefit of all the people
For instance, such foundation
would find way to build pubic
natatorium, erect community
house. provide for public memo
rails, to set up the Donate statuary
and do many other things which are
neglected or cannot be done by the
municipal authorities.

roadway. II is on these side strips that
the gardens will be laid out.
Landscape gardening is a mans
size job, admits Mrs. Kite, who re-
CARDS it as field of work peculiarly
fitted to women.
At times these two busy women have
directed the work of hundred men and
they have had no difficulty in getting
men to work for them. They have been
in consultation with number of the
biggest contractors in the country.
The capabilities of soil are not mys-
tcres to Miss Exley, who can tell at y
glance the kind of planting that will
thrive in certain soil.
Born an English woman, Miss Exley
has long since become an American.
Her training was cosmopolitan, with
study in France. Sweden and England
and in the Amber School of Horticu-
ture. She is fellow in the Royal Hor-
ticultural Society. Four years ago sne
started her professional career in Phila
delphia and from the beginning she made
overhead expenses.
SO rapid was the growth of the work
that within the last year Mrs. Kite
Joined her as partner. Mrs. Kite was
also trained at the Amber school, at
the School of Industrial Art and at
Drcxel. Before her marriage she had
done gardening in professional way.
Mr.. Kite served overseas with the ma
rincs and was killed in the summer of
1918.

just what sort of disturbance Mr..
Bryan intends to raise. Mr.. Hitchcock
will possibly not want to take under
his wing too rambunctious q foe of Mr..
Wilson.
And Mr.. Hitchcock may be for one
candidate for President. while Mr..
Bryan might oppose him and oppose
him very emphatically upon the floor
of the convention. The Democratic
party is plainly headed toward con-
servatism, as it was when it nomi-
mated Judge Parker. Mr.. Bryan is
evidently against u conservative nomi-
nation. Mr.. Hitchcock might favor Mr..
McAdoo for the presidency and find
himself harboring an effective enemy of
Mr.. McAdoo in his own delegation.
1t is evident that Bryan is opposed
to A. Mitchell Palmer for the nomi-
nation because he is sharp critic of
Palmer's work in the coal strike. Bryan
was the original anti injunction man
and Palmer has just rcsortcd TO the
injunction at indianapolis. Mr.. Bryan
would possibly regard MIR. McAdoo as
O representative of the business in
terests. Besides, no heir of Wilson is
likely to be agreeable to the editor of
the Commoner, who not only asks why
the Democracy's hand is palsied, but
reprints cartoons from the Chicago Tri-
bune showing Wilson compromising for
five months in Europe in the interests
of other governments, but unwilling to
compromise at home in the interests of
his own.
The Democratic party has reached
once more the state of disorganization
in which it was in 1896, when Bryan
first came on the scene. He has al
ways been powerful force on the floor
of the convention. This year may be
his opportunity again.
