THE ARMS OF EXPERT DELU-
SION
Our imports nflarms and ammuni-
tion are not anything to pct excited
about in comparison with our other
exports. The total for the first eight
months of thc war has been only $330,
470.000. The increase in such exports
are period of the previous
figure when compared with our total
year is 21, 09.”. 000. That cuts a small
figure when compared with on total
excess of exports ovcr imports of.
nearly tln'ec-quarters of a billion dol-
lars in the. same length of time. it is
about 2 per cent. ot’ail our exports
for the period.
The fact is. of course, that the
great. bulk of our export trade. con-
sists of food stalls and of manufac-
tured articles which, though many of
them may be used in connection with
the warwsut'h as automobiles and
blankets—mic not to be classified spe-
cifically as war materials. Certainly
'such goods cannot be charged up
against us as contributing to human
slaughter. and there is no ground in
international law or common morals
Y for denying us the right to sell them
in any market.
It appears, then, that all the chorus
‘ against the Ameri-
can people in connection with the
war trade has been based on this
$21, 093,000 gain in our shipments of
arms and ammuntion —— with, -‘ of
course, the. receipt of further orders
and the preparations for filling them.
It follows that our contribution to
the Allies campaign has been grossly
exaggerated. Considering the fact
that the Allies have between 7,000,000
of recriminalions
‘ ~ I and 10,000,000 men in the field, and
7 I, considering the
.~. which ammunition is ertpended now-
’QI‘ndnys.’I its obvious that
reckless rate at
$21.093.ooo
worth of stuff hasn't gone very far,
that the oft repeated‘German state-
$000: that “if the Americans had re-
I‘ {used to sell England arms the war
taintho principle or buying war bla-
would have been ‘Over lOng ago” is
absurd.
Concerning our right and even our
duty, to sell arms and ammuntion to
belligerents, there is of course no
more question in the minds of the
American public. Two things 0:0

Nevertheless, clear as
ence is about the matter, 111210 is a
certain satisfaction in knowing that.
we havent contributed so much to
the. destructive side of the conflict as
our critics have led impressionable
people to believe.

NO MORE CANNERY SLAVERY.
The refusal of Gov. Whitman of
New York to sign the bill permitting
the. employment of women and child-
ren in the canneries 72 hours a week
meets with almost universal approv-
al. The present New York low, pass-
ed two years ago after a startling ex-
pose of the hardships to which wo-
men und children were subjected in
the. canning factories, has remedied
the worst of the old abuses, and has
served as a model for other states.
From the temper shown by the New
York public, it seems that it there is
to be any tampering at all with this
law it will be to make it more strin—
our conci-
gent.
The, claims of the canners. who
have been fighting the. present res-
trictions, have been swept away by
plain business facts as well as con-
Tliey have
insisted that the only way to get their
goods canned in the busy season is
to have the women and children work
long hours, because the supply of la-
bor is not. large enough to handily
the work on a short-hour basis. The.
factory investigating commission
which went over the whole subject
. in 1913 pointed out that while the
t-annnrles claimed exemption from
the law restricting the hours of wo—
men and children in other industries,
they paid lower wages than anonl'
they
couldn't be-
cause they wouldn‘t pay enough mon-
thc others: the only reason
not enough help was
ey.
And as for the labor
burdensome. the commission estimat-
cost being
ed that if the wages 0010001101011.
the cost of a can of peas would only
be increased 1.38 cents.
It isn't necessary to double wages;
and if it Were. it wouldn’t necessarily
follow that all the extra cost ought to
be passed on to the consumer. But
it it were. a good many thousand Am-
erican housewives would gladly pay
a cent or so more Tor a can of peas
or beans or corn for the sake of en-
ablint; women and children to earn
cnouch to keep body and soul togeth-
cr without toiling twelve to sixteen
hours a day for it, as they used to.

“THE ALMIGHTY H EART!"
Maybe we Americans are. vain and
overeager for
it may, we. find deep satisfaction in
the kind words uttered by. Sir Gilv
bert Parker in England the other
day, coming like music in the midst
of a clamor of defamation. animosity
and misunderstanding.~ '
“The Almighty Heart,’ he says, "is
still stronger in the United States
than the Almighty Dollar.
“Never has neutral nation had
such problems as the United States
has faced with a temperateness. cour-
tesy and moderation for which this.
country cannot be too grateful. The
American government has pursued
the only course possible to a nation
desirous of preserving its deservedly
macy. It has been in true sympathy
with the highmindédness and sensi-
bleddealism of the American people
with regard to the greatest events
of the world's history.
“It is not surprising, therefore, that
all the combatants in this great war
desire at least .America's good opin-
npproval. Be that as
1011.
Such a tribute helps us to live up
to the ideals that Sir Gilbert praises.
The Ijob of walking the tightrope of
neutrality is a rather thankless one.

(Brooklyn Standard-Union)
The rate for electricity in Manhat-
tan has just been reduced from ten
to eight cents per kilowatt hour. it
one not versed in technical terms
asks what a kilowatt hour is he will
be told that. it is a unit of energy
equal to that done by one kilowatt
or, in other
words. it is the equivalent of 1.34
horsepower working an hour. it is al-
so generally known that. a kilowattis

Watt, the Scotch inventor, and repre-
sents work done at the rate of one
joule a second or in an electric cur-
rent by one ampere under the pres-
sure of one volt. One horse-power is
746 watts.
The latter two terms lire better
known than the former. The volt is
the unit of electromotive force, or
