THE PROFESSOR AND HIS apes

lh0 OF long ago some newspapers
HIM published photograph that was
supposed to show Professor Richard
l.. Garner in the act of kissing an
ape. Professor Garner became indig-
nant when the picture was called to
his attention. He said that while the
photograph might resemble him in
some particulars it was not his por-
trait, and ne denied ever having kissed
an ape. The newspapers have had
their fun with Professor Garner and
many of them have refused to take SER
iously his many years of research
work among the members of the ape
family. In order to vindicate himself
befote the public he has brought suit
Tor 100000 against the photographers
who made the picture. They deny
senCing out the picture in an effort
to make it appear that Professor Gar
er was kissing an ape. one of the Of
ficials stating that the man in the
photograph is an animal trainer.
This case doubtless will come to
trial. Perhaps some time in the fu-
ture, when such men as Professor
Garner have pursued their animal
studies further, it will be possible to
use apes as witnesses although there
may be grave doubt about their abil-
ity to understand the natur of an
GA til.
Professor Garner insists that apes
talk to each other, and when he last
returned from abroad he told report
ers some Of the words they use. This
conversation is somewhat limited. in
dicating that in some respects the
apes are farther advanced than hui
mans because they make their wants
known and carry on such business
as are necessary without
an endless flow of words. Professor
Garner has hopes that the future will
reveal still more interesting details
their lives and habits. He
holds 20 the theory that animals
should be treated with kindness. but
limits his affection to a tender word
or hand pat.

HOW 1T LOOKS TO THE SKIPPER

Of imports and exports may
w do very well for the banker and
ping man wants to know about ton
page.
Our official figures for foreign trade
have been expressed mostly in dollars
and cents, and they accordingly have
not meant very much to the managers
of our new mercantile fleet. sAddi-
tional figures in tons now before the
men whose chief interest is in cargo,
bring to light some interesting facts.
In 1914 our sea borne foreign trade
amounted to s1,0O0,00O long tons, with
Ga per cent of the tonnage represent
ing exports. In 1918 the total tonnage
was 92,a00,000 and 6s per cent were
exports. In tonnage our foreign trade
was IA per cent larger than in 1914.
When measured in values, however,
the story is different. For 1914 the
value of our foreign trade was $4.25s,-
100000. and exports represented So per
cent. In 1918 the value was $3.50 ,0OO,-
600 and exports were 66 per cent. The
value of our foreign trade in 1918 was
los per cent greater than in 1914.
Such figures go to emphasize that

PRODUCTION AS A THERAPEUTIC
AGENT

ALSE remedies will not do, In Mr..
III Hoover's opinion. Every econom-
ic patent medicine he says. has
nocked to the banner Of socialism and
communism, which claim alone to be-
speak human sympathy and alone to
present remedies. Extremists are loud
in assertion that production can be
maintained by the impulse OF altru-
ism alone, instead of self interest. Ev-
cry country is engaged in experimental
ton with varying degrees Of these by
pothcses, and 50 far every trial has
reduced production"
The conclusion OF this memorandum
is forceful: mo economic policy will
bring food to the stomachs or fuel to
hearths that does not secure the max
imum production. There is no use Of
tears over rising prices; they are. to
q great extent INSTALLATION Of In

THE THRAclAN ISSUE

1fHE last phase of the Thracian issue
has been reached, and developments
henceforth will be watched with keener
interest. The past year an argument
tative duel has been waged between the
Greeks and their friends on one side
and the Bulgarians on the other. Eng
land, France, Italy and Japan are in
favor Of giving Thrace to Greece, but
Bulgaria will not give in. 1t is, like
Fiume. one of the knotty after
problems that must be solved salts
factorily II another Balkan war is to
be prevented.
The Bulgarians insist that Thrace
should be given to Bulgaria for two inn
portant reasons
J. Because the majority of the pop
ulaton of Thrace is Bulgarian.
.. Because Bulgaria needs al eco
nomic outlet to the Aegean sea.
Is Thrace i'll the majority Bulgarian?
The Bulgarian delegation has presented
to the peace conference two vo)umi-
the other on western Thrace. In these
memoranda. the Bugarians quote from
'iarious Prussian, Bulgarian and Ger
man authorities, as well as from mis-
sionary Journals, to prove that Thrace
is Bulgarian in ethnology. They also
give the statistics compiled by the
Bulgarian Exarchate in 1894. in which
the Bulgarians appear to be in the
majority in eight of the 81 kazas dds
tricts) of the villayet of Adrianople.
On the economic need for access to
the Aegean the Bulgarian memoranda
give no authorities. They express the
Bulgarian views alone.
The Greek delegation at Paris bases
Its claim to Thrace on two things:
/. The Greek ethnic character of
the province, and
?. The economic and strategic needs
of Greece

the statistics prepared by the Greek
patriarchate nor of authorities that are
