To this end, i have secur ed the services of Dr. A. P. Herring, secretary of the Lunacy Commission of Maryland, who todsy br<gan a scien tific study of the asylum and its needs. I discussed the subject this morning with Dr. T. J. Strait, superintendent of the asylum' and Dr. JuIIub H. Tay lor, Mr. James A. Summersett and Mr. A. H.

The asylum has been the football of politics too long, and the investigation I have asked Dr. Her ring to make is simply an alienist's in vestigation into an asylum. 'Or. Her ring was recommended first by Dr. Thomas W. Salmon, of New York, president of the National, committee on mental hygiene, a recognized au thority. "The asylum- has suffered, to my mind, from multiple control, "with di vided responsibility and lack of a def inite plan of policy. My general plan is to substitute for this the superin tendence of one man and that man a physician of ability. To relieve h tin of burdensome and exacting routine, there should, of course, be a business manager, but to a\Joid difficulties and friction' of dual control, the business manager should be answerable direct ly to the scientific head of the Institu tion. ?JDr, Salmon estimated that the pre liminary investigation would cost about S50?.. I have had it begin at once, so that, if legislation should be found necessary for the Improvement of the asylum, the legislature might have opportunity to act before ad journment.

OUR FIRST REAL TRADE BALANCE UNITED STATES FACING NEW ERA OF BUSINESS EX PANSION NATION BECOMES A WORLD MARKET Foreign Investment in America Totais $7,500,000,000 With Interest of $350,000,000. CD?- Anviclnt-d Pit M.) CHICAGO, Jan. 20.?For the first time in History the United States 1b "experiencing the sensation of a real trade balance" in its favori Dr. Ed ward E. Pratt. Chief of the federal bureau of foreign and domestic com merce, told the Illinois Bankers' As sociation at a dinner here tonight. As a result of developments abroad during the last jix months. Dr. Pratt said, "we have turned the corner and are facing a new eru of burines? ex pansion in Uiis country?an era which has made the term 'home market' ob solete and archaic, and put in its place the unfamaltar term 'world i m?rket.'.** He explained that while the export excess In favor of the Unit ed States had ranged annually for 14 years from $250.000.000 to 650.000. 000. "invisl.de factors" had made thlB only an apparent favorable balance. Foreign investments in the United States, the speaker said, totalled 27, 500.000,000 with an annual Interest of $350,000.000, constituting a fixed charge on American industries, while American investments abroad produc ed a revenue yearly only of $75,000, 000, reducing the balance against the Uniled Stuten on this count to $275, 000,000. American tourists traffic also poured millions into European cof fers each year: he artfled^ th? 1914. jflj? pre being ?pproxtmal?iy:.;is^0tw,000; foreign born Americans Bent home an nually at least $150,000,000, and for eign shipping companies collected freight from American foreign com r.im ce amounting to $25,000,000 a year. The result of all these invisible fac tors during the fiscal year of 1914 Dr. Pratt said, had been to produce an actual excess -of remit' \nces over receipts of $56,000,000. The change began on July 1, 1914, he said, and by December .11, the fav orable trade balance was $133.000. 000 due to huge exportations of food stuffs, merchandise, gold and stiver. At the same time came "a period of export capitalism, and we are just at the point of expanding into the world markets." To illustrate ''export capitalism," Dr. Pratt cited the Swedish loan of $5,000,000, the Argentine loan of $16, 000,000 and the Russian loan of $25. 000,000 all floated in this country dur ing the last six months. Dr. Pratt said information now at hand placed the total of war loans made by the belligerents at $6,000. 000.000, all made at high rates of in terest. "The Income expected and obtained on tnvestme&ts In Europe." se contin ued, "baa been much less than that prevailing or expected in this coun try. This war will, however,'be suc ceeded .by. a period of high Interest. It will be succeeded by. a period of intense demand for capital for recon struction purposes. The stock of capi tal is being depleted and it is more likely that financial exhaustion rath er than military exhaustion will de termine the final result. "At the close of the war, then, Eu rope Will not have much advantage over us in the matter of cheap capi tal," hV concluded. Dr. Pratt said development of trade with lAtln-Amerlea had been ham pered by long term credit extended by European nations. "Af'flr her present debts are liqui dated," he asserted, "Europe will be unprepared to keep her working capi tal tied up in a floating debt, and Eu ropean manufacturers will bo no more' willing to gfve- long time credit than our own. Again we win be on a parity with "European natlonn." He urged establishment of Ameri can banks in Central and South Amer-, lea. as the most important Btep to ward trade expansion there, and fav ored amendment of national banking laws to permit banks to hold a limited amount of steck In "over-sea" battles established extlup-lvely for foreign business. i -?-?-??--?

(Bv AiMK-iatcd Pr?m.) WASHINGTON, .lun. 20.?After a three days speech against the govern ment ship purchase hill. Senator Wut ton yielded the floor late today to Sen ator WeekB. who continued. what Democratic leaders now regurrt uh an open filibuster. Determined to keep the meusure constantly before the tlon measures, the Democrats tonight senate, even if it delays appropNa renewed their caucus to consider amendments. Administration leaders declared the Republican opposition would he given full sway In the hope that it would wear itself out. No Democrat, they said, would speak on the bill for many days. After Senator Weeks has fin ished his speech Senators Lodge, Jones, Root. Sutherland, Smoot, Ban degrce. Gallinger and NelBon are ex pected to continue the fight. Plans were made at u Republican conference today providing that when speeches on the present bill have been exhaust ed a substitute will bo offered on which to haue further arguments. Some Republican leaders predict' to night that the Democrats would give up hope of passing thp bill this seas ?ion if no progress was apparent af ter: two weeks of debate. Administra tion senators, however, declared the measure would be kept h efo rGr the senate right up to March 4 if neces sary and the appropriation bills' taken up at an extra session. Senator Burton talked continuous ly for more than six hours today. His address continued over the lunch hour but he drank two raw eggs brought to him In a glnsB whlle he listened to a question by Senator Sutherland. Senator Burton was emphatic In his prediction that the purchase of in terned ships would lead to Internat ional complications. Senator Vardaman suggested that diplomatic negotiations with Great Britain might remove that objection, If the United States would agree not to pay for the boats until after the war. "I understand negotiations along this line have been carried on," res ponded Senator Burton, "and that Great Britain and France are ready to agree to such a course, but if that be true there is no necessity for this bill. Private capital would be only too wil ling to invest in shipping under such conditions." Toward the end of his address Sen ator Burton's voice gradually weaken ed and Republican colleagues fre quently afforded htm brief respites while they asked parliamentary ques. lions. The Democratic caucus sent back to committee an amendment proposed by Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, providing that the proposed govern ment ship corporation should "In no instance operate any , vessel, except where the same cannot be chartered or leased for operation through anoth er corporation. Arm or Individual, un less such, operation Is necessary \o move the commerce of citizens of ti e United States." Democrats of the commerce com mittee recommended that two outside members be added to the proposed shipping board, which, as now pro vided in the bill, would consist of throe members. of the cabinet only.

"This union, constituted as It !b on a religious basis, 1b the embod iment of the interpretation of Juda ism, by what is popularly known as the reform movement.

"The problems which perplex us," she eaid, "have gone beyond mere sex considerations. Religion Is no more masculine than It Is feminine. We still labor under the old tradition of a man-made Bible. If a woman had written the first chapter of Genesis she would have formed Adam out of the rib or womb of Eve. "Woman is looking around and ahead.
