A TWO .MILLION DOLLAR TUA UK
BALANCE. ,
Sir George Paish, financial expert of
tho landon Statist and adviser of the
UrltlHh government, prophesied last
Bummer that tho United Slate? would,
as the war proceeded, ooconte the
llnunclul center of the world. We
have already attained that distinction.
He prophesied then that our favor
able trade balance for the year would
reach a billion dollars, and that fore
cast has been closely approximated.
We are prepared, now, to listen rc ?
Hpectfully when he announces that our
excess of exports over imports Tor the
next twelve months may reach V2.000,
000.000. Tho greatest favorable bal
ance we ever had, before the present
billion dollar year, waa $666,000,000 In
1908. A two-billion balance in our fa
vor would be precisely three times
that.
Such a situation would mean that wo
could usu two million dollars a year
In buying up American securities now
held abroad, and In lending money to
foreign nations, without in the slight
est degree impairing our own domes
tic credit or money supply.
With a billion-dollar wheat crop In
prospect and other crops doing weil,
with the Btcel Industry reviving and
the prospect of geting altead to the
extent of two billion dollars a year
in our foreign buslnesa, tho few busi
ness pessimists left might just as well
stop croaking.
A weightier man than Hr. Taft for
secretary of state would be hard to
find.
BREAKING THE POSTAL RULES.
The British people habitually as
sume a reproachful air of Injured in
nocence when we criticise them for
anything. "How could you have the
?heart to do lt?" they seem to ask, re
gardless of the' flagrancy of the of
fense. Nevertheless, we are obliged
again, gently but firmly, to call Eng
land's attention to an Irritating breach
of international law. If the Swedish
minister at Washington knows what
he ia talking about-and e'thcr a
Swede or a minister general'/ does
know-the British censors have been
tampering with diplomatic correspond
ence on ila way to Washington. That
Is tn plain contravention of the rules
of the Unlveraal Postal Union, ot
which Great Britain ls a member. The
regulation' establishing' the Inviolabil
ity of diplomatic correspondence tn
the malls is aa sacred aa waa the In
ternational guarantee of the neutrality
of Belgium. It la no more legitimate
to violate one than to violate the
other.
It's bad enough to have private mall
opened In Its passage through Eng
land, but It's Infinitely worse to have
official government communications
read and Interfered with. Whether
the grievances of which the Swedish
minister complains are due to mere
stupidity of the British censors, or to
Intentional wrong-doing th? practice
ls indefensible.

THE ATTACK ON YON BEBNSTORFF
The German ambassador at Wash
ington has committed improprieties in
the course, ot his American mission
and has. been punished for them. It
io evident from hts whole attitude
since the LuMtanla affair that he has
been trying scrupulously to llvo np
to the. requirements ot ht? difficult
position.
It ls unfortunate, then, and grossly
unfair, that the ambassador has been
subjected ' > the humiliation ot the re
cent Meyer-Gerhard charges. No
trustworthy evidence has ever boen
produced to substantiate the accusa
tion that Mr. vo?> Bernstorft abused his
authority and deceived the American
government by smuggling back to Ger
many under a special safe-conduct
"Dr. Alfred Mayer ot ?he German war
office." The aznbse*ador hais declared
that he has no knowledge of any such
person. Even lt he had. and even lt He
wanted to procure a safe paasage home
for such a compatriot, and oven If hq
had been willing to deceive the state
department to that ead. it is Incon
ceivable that he would have santloned
such a breach of dlolomatto regularity
In connection with the delicate and
widely-advertised peace mission ot br.
Meyor-Gcrhard. The German ambas
sador appears to be working sincerely
and earnestly for peace, with mutual
respect and honor, between Germany
sad America. Any attack on him, Im
pugning his good faith, tends to de
feat his efforts and to hapern the re
lations ot the two countries. Even if
carping and suspicions critics lack re
spect for the German ambassador, they
should at least respect his office, and
relax their hostility until they har o
unquestionable occasion fot i*.

The pigs and ch: ;kenn ot the MAVS

emancipation from a terrible enemy.
Tor several month: past the fanners
of that section bo o been missing

been going by the coro and realizing
that the enemy wi s ooma variult ot

of the great Poo D e, a f?rmev of the

A steel trap wan s t which wv. halt

morning when the armer approached
the trap he saw at once that ho had
his prisoner. Bro' uer Wild Cat was
ia the tolls hard aa fast, tho trap had
clamped one of his tegs so tight that
lt waa impossible f< r him to free him-'
self. He bad bec ?rae exhausted In
his efforts to get 1 ose and seeming
ly bad quietly res rued to his fate.
He was sitting up ? fer the trap when
his captors approa bed and even tn
thia hopeless condi ion he made one
more attempt to de end his dear life,
with a coarse snat he attempted to
spring forward on c ie of the men, but
a bullet was shot I trough bis head.

Claude Grahame-W?ilte and Harry
Harper, In "Aircraft In the Great
War." have made an entertaining
contribution to the literature of the
day. In giving a summary of the
military value of aircraft, they sa?
that so far gunfire has not been ef
fective .against aeroplanes, and
Messrs. Grahame-White and Harper
pnt the case thus: "A high ?peed
scout, traveling at 120 miles an hour,
covers In each second a distance ol
mor0 than 170 feet, while & projec
tile from the ground, fired at such a
craft when lt ls 6,000 feet high
taken several seconds to roach this
altitude. To aim directly at the ma
chine, therefore,, ls hopeless. 'Phi
gunner must point his weapon, ai
the moment ot firing, at a polni
some distance in advance of the aer
\ opUme; and this precise point, un
p6WFTBf^irranr tha speed o?, th a -orafij
can be found only by trial and er
*or."

' Sometimes aeroplanes are disabled
'>y the enemy's fire; again enginet
balk or other mishaps occur while
aviators are over hostile territory; in
either case it ia necessary to descend
and lively; adventurer have come
about in thia way. M. Pegoud, th?
first aviator to "loon the loop" ii
public tells a story of thia kind.
He had to alight, through lask ol
petrol, at a point behind the Qermat
lines. He managed to concent hil
aeroplane temporarily, then niovet
cautiously towards a village and md
nome French peasants. They we?
cager to help him, but could promise
hun. no petrol; the entire stock it
the locality had been commandeered
by the Germana, frat a little peaean
boy said he believed some contd b<
obtained at a garage,, a few mile!
away, and set off resolutely in quea
of it.
"It was, said M. Peguod,' a dan
gerous Journey for the little chap
bat ha, walked out through th^si
German camps with the courvge or i
saint, and X felt like a coward foi
letting.him gp. In the darkness! be

for Uhlans.' I had no sooner pourra
th? petrol in the tank and .treggei
my machine Into thu open that I ea*
bin tearing frantically back. Hur

The fl?chette has proved an effec

there say* With the aeroplane, th
