India is particularly interesting and
significant. For several years prior to

capturing the Indian market and those
cheap articles Of everyday use which
India demands in such large quantities.
When the war cut off the supply from
Germany, Japan was found ready to step
into the breach, and. during the first
year of the war, the Japanese manu-
facturer literally flooded the Indian
market All this. of course, would have
been legitimate enough if the trade had
been a genuine one II was quickly
goods were even more inferior i'm quality

Germany, and determined effort was
made in India to promote the home

cases this effort involved the setting
up of entirely new industries, but almost
from the first the scheme was success

Persia Sick.
From the Christian Herald

Persia has been weakened by her
neighbors and by her own religion and
people The persians have had great
poets and idealists and Persian itera-
ture is even now greatly admired and
her poets are widely quoted but Per-
STA today, in size and in influence Is
the merest shadow. of her former self.
Economic and financial stagnation are
the rule everywhere. There have been
many occasions where Persians have
aspired for better and nobler things for
their empire But the time has not yet
come when these things can be under
taken. initiated and carried on by the
Persians alone. without outside assist
ance There is no Persian army. The
soldiers are badly paid, if paid at all.
The treasury is empty. The customs
are mortgaged to England and Russia
for loans advanced in the past. There
are no railroads which can be claimed
by her; the British have built military
railways all along her frontier. The only
railway. in the northeastern province of
Aberbaijan, from Russian Julia to Ia
briz and thence to Lake Urumia-some
$50 miles in length-was built and COM
pleted by The Russian government dur
ing the war. Famine has struck Per-
STA hard. Drought has brought about
prohibitive prices.

From the Los Angeles Times.
Always after wars there are battles
of words. Since the fighting ended in
Europe engagements have been refought
before various commit tees at Washing
ton, London and other capitals where
inquiries have been made into the con-
duct of various officers. After the civil
war controversies ragged, the echoes of
which are still heard. The Spanish
American war produced its crop of quar-
rels, the -Schley dispute being
the most notable. The World war has
been prolific of wordy fights as regards
methods used on both land and sea. The
Sims-Daniels quarrel is still delighting
some people and boring more. General
Pershing too, has been roundly crti-
cised, but manages to bear up His
smile. as disclosed during his recent visit
to Los Angeles. is just as captivating as
it was when he was on the Mexican
border. Other generals have come in
for more or less abuse. but most of them
refuse to let it bother them. They know
that a good deal of it is manufactured
by politicians who have more than pa
triotic end in view. 1t is impossible to
conduct war without many and
grievous mistakes. Germans, supposed
to be the best military minds in the
world made error after error. Costly
mistakes were made by French generals.
The British muddled expeditions ashore
and afloat The Italians blundered
erieyously at times. No nation was i'm
mune from failure in some way or an
other To err is human. and 1t is just
as human to beef about it afterward.
Americans are not alone in doing that.
The British have revived the controversy.
over the battle of Jutland and they are
still divided into camps over the Darda-
nelles failure. Various aspects of the
war will remain fruitful subject for dis
mutation for years to come.

The Fog.
The sad sea woman

In gray chiffon
Creeps up DER the rocks,
And on. and on,
Seeking for one
Whom she loved and lost;
Some lover of hers,
Some old sea ghost,
She looks In the gardens
And over the wall;
On hill and coppice
Her garments fall.
She circles the trees
And the houses old;
II seems the world
She would enfold.
Up. up, she goes.
Yet ever higher,
Till her wells entangle
The tallest spire,
Vainly, forever.
She seeks her love,
In the cities of earth
And the clouds above,
Till, weary and weeping and worn with
pain.
she slips back into the sea again

Few will deny all this, but the
merry chase for dollars goes on. The
voice of the profteer is heard in the

fashioned goal of living for the glory
of God and the good Of humanity to
the quest for fortune
1t is all right for Johnny to enjoy
his plum, but let him not allow it to
hypnotic him into the notion that he
is great. People are not made great
by lucky finds. Two men sink oil
wells in sight of each other. One
turns out to be a gusher and the
other remains a hole in the ground.
The difference in the wells is not an
infallible index of the difference in
the men. Greatness is built on some

KIND OF MEN WOMEN WILL CHOOSE
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE MUST
BE JUST AND SIMPLE OF HEART
BY MRS. A. BARTON HEPBURN,
Treasurer Women's Roosevelt Mem
orial Committee; Chairman Navy
Club Campaign COMMITTEES;
President City History Club.


Women are going to demand for
the head of government, a man who
has the vision and the interest of all
classes so highly developed as to in
clude the interests Of all people in all
walks of life. He will, first of all, be
fair and just. Such a man was
Abraham Lincoln. He worked in
most self-sacrificing way for the wei
fare of his country.
We women want a man for presi-
dent whom we know will not use this
high office to enhance his own
glory.
We want human man in whose
soul there registers the heart beats
of the people of the country, their
needs, their progress and their well
fare.
Record of Good Work
We want man whose record of
work shows the greatest good to the
greatest number. and who is so great
and yet so simple of heart that he
will be willing to consider and even
accept the advice of experts on diff
AANIlA CdDJCNCS IIldI COIllIOIlI L06 ma
tiOn from time to time.
We want man who represents the
kind of chivalry that means self-sac-
ritice-deeds not words. Women
don't care a bit for the brand of
chivalry with which many men are
imbued, because they know it is in
sincere. They prefer justice and
plain common sense.
The cook in the kitchen often has
a keener insight into the fundamental
needs and changes of government
than the so-called successful business
man.
One wouldn't employ a mechanic to
teach Greek, and neither will the
woman voters of the country elect a
man who does not represents high
ideals for which they stand.
Moss-Grown Traditions
To the eighteen million odd women
voters who are going to register their
choice for the presidency this year,
there cling none of the old political
party traditions, nor moss-grown con-
ventiOns and adherence to political
faith to blind a clean choice of man
who will not only set high standard
of patriotism and national integrity
but who will work to accomplish those
things which the people wish to have
done, and particularly those things
for which women have worked so long
and so faithfully to achieve.
(This is the second of four articles
on women's attitude toward presiden-
tial candidates.)
