Today is the day for which all your previous
efforts have been qualifying you to
do your task better than It
S was ever done before.
REVIVAL OF GRAIN SHIPMENTS
THE increase In tho Brain export business
of this port In the past nlno months is
satisfactory only to those who do not know
what has been happening at other American
porta. A little more than twice as much
wheat, oats and corn have been shipped from
Philadelphia In the period mentioned this
year as In tho some period last year, but tho
exports of wheat and flour from the whole
United States Increased from 142,400,000 in
the fiscal year of 1914 to $482,400,000 in tho
fiscal year of 1915. Philadelphia has shipped
abroad 17,900,000 bushels of wheat in the past
nlno months, whereas In tho corresponding
period last year the exports wero 12,000,000
bushels.
With all that has been done to attract
business hero, it Is evident that we have
not succeeded so well as wo should. There
remains much to be done before the port will
rise to the rank to which Its location and
facilities entitle it. It will be a mistake to
assume that oven the grain business which
once came here Is to come again without
any one going out to get It. The exports
this year may be larger than in any pre
vious twelve months, but other ports are
competing for the trade. It Is necessary to
make conditions so favorable here that those
who use the port once will use it again. It is
Important, also, that the Philadelphia busi
ness men set an example to business men In
other parts of the country by doing their
waterrborne business through the Delaware
Klver Instead of at somo other port.
A DINNER TO THE GOOD
rf-AYE" LANE protests against the hy
U pocrlsy of members of the city Admin
istration when they criticise him for asking
campaign contributions from officeholders.
He says that the present Administration has
enforced more contributions for dinners to
exploit the heads of departments than were
received by the Republican City Committee.
If this is true, the men got the dinners
they paid for, didn't they? And they kept
their jobs, too.
Under tho old regime, the one that "Dave"
ane and his friends are trying to restore,
the men made their contributions, but they
did not get anything to eat in return there
for. Under the reform system the men seem
a dinner to the good. That Is some gain.
HOPE FOR RUSSIA
THE Czar, it Is announced, will presently
recall the Duma. Early In November it
will reconvene, at His Generous Majesty's
invitation, to take up Us noble work.
On that occasion its chief Interest will be
passing a budget of war expenses. When
that engrossing work Is accomplished tho
Duma will probably turn its attention to
Russian freedom, and will bo promptly pro
rogued. But Isn't it magnificent of the Czar to call
It together at all?
WEALTH OF THE BELLIGERENTS
STUDENTS of international politics never
doubted that the Allies would bo success
ful in floating a loan of practically any size
in this country. At the same time, they were
equaljy certain that the Teutonic nations
would have great difficulty in receiving credit
to the extent of a billion or half a billion at
the hands at American bankers. The reason
is apparent from a glance at the figures
showing the wealth of tho nations involved.
Tho Bureau of Statistics, Department of
Commerce and Labor, estimates the wealth
of the belligerents as follows:
Great, Britain and Ireland ($0,000,000,000
France 65,000,000,000
Russia , 40.000,000,000
Italy 20,000,000.000
Total wealth of Allies ,316.000,000,000
Germany JCO,KO,0O0.000
Austria-Hungary 21,000.000,000
Total wealth of Teutons $83,500,000,000
Both the Allies and Teutons have a com
bined debt of approximately 8 per cent, of
their respective total wealths. But Jl,
000,000.000 Is only l-205th of the Allies' wealth,
and 1-SBth of tho Teutons.
A BIT OF HUGO
AN INCIDENT of lofty romance has been
.reported from the high seas. In itself
a4 in the associations It brings to mind
it in -wf tfiy of note at a time when Romance.
Ut capitalised, is said to be moribund.
Ob board the Almlrante, 100 miles south of
Ittnajiton. Jamaica, was repeated, in essence,
tfet tkvrMHng story of the wild cannon which
l, tfiU by Victor Hugo In his 'Ninety.
Hire That story, perhaps the first bit of
Hugo which the English-speaking child Is
Mli4n to ryad, tells of the mad fury of a
, cSjAusan waleasfaed in a storm at sea, In this
eta It whs a safe that came loose and,
cstMUiuv through the purser's stateroom,
! m 4 to ioutroy the ship on -whiah K
SRuttenuius (Ubnuct) started. Mrtnwhtl. a
KftU of le miles drove th whip ut wf Its.
r
course, and breakers were driven so high
that they actually cleared the ship instead
of swamping It,
Every day, in some obscure fashion,
romanco plays with tho lives of men, and
every- day men take the splendid hazard of
finding romance around the corner.
MORE DEMOCRATIC FOLLY
TT IS not n all likely that Congress will
appropriate half a billion dollars this win
ter to bo spent In Increasing tho efficiency of
tho army and navy, in splto of reports from
Washington that the Congressional leaders
havo told tho President that tho appropria
tion can be made under certain conditions.
Tho nation Is confronted with no crisis of
sufflolcnt gravity to Justify the expenditure
of so much money beyond tho usual
amounts required for maintaining tho mili
tary and naval establishments. But Con
gressmen aro willing to spend It, however, If
public shipbuilding plants aro to bo estab
lished and if the Government will go Into
tho business of making guns and explosives
on a much more extensive scale. The pa
triots nro not willing to patronize the exist
ing prlvato companies because, forsooth, tho
owners of tho companies would mnko a
profit from Government contracts!
In other countries, where wiser councils
prevail, Governments deliberately encourage
the establishment of prlvato shipyards by
awarding contracts for warships to prlvato
corporations. They believe that It is better
to have several shipyards equipped for the
enlargement of tho navy than to conccn
ttato all business in Governmont-owncd
yards Their theory works out well in prac
tice through the development of the ship
building Industry.
Whatever the Administration may decide
to do about the manufacture of explosives It
will make a grievous mistake If It turns its
back upon tho private shipbuilding plants In
this critical time when an attempt Is being
made to revive the American merchant ma
rine, even If It Is Intending to drlvo privately-owned
American ships from the seas
through sondtng out Government-owned
merchant vessels In competition with them.
In such an event there would bo no private
shipyards loft anyhow.
"SENSELESS SPECULATION"
SOBER words on a sober subject were
written by Samuel Untermyor when he
warned the general public against speculation
in war stocks.
Tho Stock Exchange, as It is now consti
tuted, and under the hectic Influence of the
war. Is no place for any but tho expert and
the experienced. A sudden change in the
fortunes of war, or the abrupt cessation of
hostilities, would cause an almost cata
clysmic change In values. Trained minds
are unable to predict tomorrow on the Stock
Exchange. What chance is there for tho
amateur?
There are plenty of good American indus
tries, not war-industries, which need devel
opment. They are the proper field for In
vestment; they are the safer field.
INCREASING THE WRONG WAY
EVENTS do not always turn out as wo ex
pect. There Is that boom In South
American trade that was to follow the out
break of the war In Europe. But the export
figures do not disclose any boom, In 1914 the
United States sold to Argentina goods worth
$45,000,000, but In 1915 the exports to that
country slumped to $32,000,000. There has
been a decrease of more than $5,000,000 In the
exports to Brazil Instead of the anticipated
increase.
Business depression in South America has
been partly responsible for the decline In
trade with this country; but the' depression
Itself has come about through lack of capital
for carrying on tho business. American in
vestors havo not been willing to supply tho
capital and the Europeans who have been
wont to flnanco South America have had
other uses for their money.
We cannot Increase our trade with Latin
American Republics by simply saying that
we should like to Increase It.
A SILLY QUIBBLE
THE election laws make explicit provision
for the pro-emptlon of a party name by
tho signing of the proper papers by a speci
fied number of electors and the filing of the
papers in the proper place.
Tho attempt, therefore, to make It appear
that the men who havo taken the name of
the Franklin party for tho purpose of nomi
nating candidates by petition have no right
to participate in the organization of the
party because they may havo voted at the
primaries of another party for the candi
dates whom they wish to support, is a quib
ble unworthy of full-grown men.
The earth continues to slide at tho Culebra
cut, Just as the engineers expected.
"Lollypops

They may be able to Imitate the name of
the Franklin party, but would do better to

The Swiss cavalry has been sent to guard

WIZARD CARTY
OF THE WIRELESS
Great Engineer Never Stopped Work
Long Enough to Consider How
Much Science and Progress
Owed Him
By CHARLES F. KINGSLEY
THE growth of the fnmo of John Joseph
Carty has been the slower by reason oi the
custom of many great corporations, Includ
ing tho concern of which ho Is chief en
gineer, of nnnounclng to tho public great re
sults as having been
accomplished "under
the superintendence
of So-and-So" or
"by Such-and - Such
a department." Mr.
Carty has read many
pnpers beforo engi
neering societies and
has lectured nt tho
Sorbonnc, describing
experiments which
had been carried on
in the engineering
department of tho
American Telcphono
and Telegraph Com-
J. J. cautv. pany, but giving no
intimation of tho fact that they had been
his Immediately personal work. And now
that the dcelopment of wireless telephony
has reached a new hlghwatcr mark, Carty
Is the last man who would minimize tho
achievements of Bell, Marconi. Pupln and
the many other scientists and engineers who
contributed this or that to the great success
that has crowned tho efforts of them all.
Carty was born In Cambridge, Mass., 54
years ago. As a boy ho showed n great
liking for mechanical experimentation. After
graduation from tho Cambridge Latin School
ho would have entered Harvard but for
serious trouble with his eyes. Ho found
himself attracted to the telephone business,
which was then in the stage of difficult ex
perimentation, carried on without textbooks
by a small band of constructive pioneers.
Ho was first employed In the old Tele
phone Dispatch Company, of Boston, In 1879
as a night operator, and then and there he
began a long series of contributions to tho
technical knowledge of telephony.
Last June the Stevens Institute of Tech
nology conferred on him the degree of doctor
of engineering, and on that occasion Presi
dent Humphreys, of the Institute, said of
Mr. Carty: "He has probably done more than
any other one man to make tho telephone,
as it is today, the ready and efficient ser
vant of mankind." Carty has received most
of the professional distinctions which can
come to a practicing engineer. Including tho
Edward Longstreet medal of merit of tho
Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, Twlco
he has received tho formal thanks of the
Japanese Government for services In con
nection with the establishment and develop
ment of tho telephone system of the Mikado's
country, and by tho Emperor he has been
decorated with the Order'of tho Rising Sun
and tho Imperial Order of tho Sacred Treas
ure of tho MelJI.
Going to College at 28
In 1889 the young Boston engineer was
Invited to reorganize the entire technical
equipment of'the system of what Is now the
Now York Telephone Company. While en
gaged In this tremendous task, in order to
make up deficiencies In his engineering
training, he carried several courses In Co
lumbia University. Evenings he might bo
found in his little npartment doing calculus
or quaternions. This little story out of a
successful career well Illustrates the thor
oughness with which he has always tackled
the Job of making good.
A few Incidents will serve to reveal somo
of his other leading characteristics. He
discovered that ho would have to do many
unpleasant things when ho was selected in
1907 as englneer-in-chief of the Bell system.
"Last night," ono recalls Mr. Carty saying
with a wry face as he smoked of an August
evening on the piazza of his North Shore
cottage, "I visited with ono of my oldest
and dearest friends, an engineer connected
with the Boston office; this morning I wrote
him a letter firing him." It was only for
the good of tho service that was all. Ho
had to do It.
And his method of gathering his staff 1b
Interesting. He adopted It years ago. At
first at Columbia, and later at New Haven
"Shef and Boston "Tech," ho began to He
In wait for the most promising men of each
graduating class. His method of recruiting
was characteristically original. Instead of
having the boys sent to him, he would go
to them. If such and such a senior had
been recommended as a likely candidate, the
engineer would quite unexpectedly knock at
his door, spend a few minutes in conversa
tion and quiet observation, and then invite
the lad to take a little walk. In an hour's
stroll and talk It was generally possible to
get the candidate to drop all constraint pni
to reveal his natural aptitudes and limita
tions. One JDay for Worry
There Is another story quite as illuminat
ing. "I come of a worrying race," he once
said. "Wo worried a great deal at home,
and I was likely to grow up into a worse
worrier than my father, a dear, good man
and very competent in his calling, an expert
at handling church bells, you may believe
me. Then once as a youth I suddenly saw
the light of reason and one day I proposed
to my father that wo each select a single
day a week on which to do our worrying. In
that way we would keep six days clear for
work and have only ono brief time In the
week for being of no use to anybody. My
farther saw the point, in a measure; and I
deliberately set Sunday asldo for my Worry
ing day, but when Sunday came I had gen
erally forgotten all about my troubles,"
This little Irish-American man of roc
t HI near features, clear eyes and high brow
assumes no title to greatness. A few years
ago he said to a friend, "I often wonder how
safe I really am. Things are' thrown at
mo for decision from every quarter of the
universe, I try to look at each question from
every possible angle, above, around and
through but I havo to give my Judgment
quickly because 1 am dealing with that kind
of men, A wrong Judgment may cost mil
lions of dollars. Do you wonder that I value
my sleep?"

BALKANS OFFER NEW WAR PROBLEM
Situation Produced by Bulgaria's Expected Entrance Into Great
European Conflict Will Almost Exactly Reproduce
Crisis of 1913, Expert Points Out
By FRANK H. SIMONDS
THE entrance of Bulgaria Into tho great
War as tho ally of tho Central Powers
will almost exactly reproduce the military
problems at the outset of the Second Balkan
War. Then as now tho chief objective o(
Bulgarian strategy was the Oriental railroad,
which connects Belgrade with Salonika and
binds Scrvia to her Greek ally.
In 1913 General Savoff, chief of tho
Bulgarian General Staff, planned to dispose
of Servla by one tremendous surprise blow
with the main mass of Bulgarian troops,
using a small containing force against tho
Greeks. His whole strategy lay In isolating
the two allies by cutting the Oriental rail
road, the only line of communication betwoen
the two states. '
Today the. first aim of the Bulgarians must
be the same. Servla, isolated from her Greek
and Entente allies, assailed In front by the
Germans cither along tho Danube or on tho
Bosnian frontier, dependent upon Salonika
for all supplies and reinforcements, should
provo an easy victim if the railroads wero
once cut.
Tho aim of the German, as contrasted with
Bulgarian, strategy must bo to sweep south
along the valley of the Vardar, moving by
the Salonika railroad until Nish is reached,
and then turning east on the Nish-Sofla-Constantlnople
railroad.
Bulgaro-Gcrman Strategy
Thus tho twofold purpose of Bulgaro
German strategy must be: An attack upon
tho Salonlka-Belgrado railroad by tho Bul
garians, designed to Isolate Servla; a great
"drive" by the Germans south from tho
Danube to tho Bulgarian frontier, opening the
Oriental railroad for tho transport of German
troops and munitions to the Turkish capital.
In 1913 Savoff approached his simpler
problems In the following fashion: Bulgar
troops wero in Macedonia and occupied all
the district between Kustendll and Istlb. Th0
main Servian forco was southeast of Uskub,
facing Istlb, and behind the Bregalnltza
River, Just east of Veles. Against this army,
without warning and without declaration of
war, Savoff hurled tho victors of Lule
Burgas. At the same hour the second Bulgarian
army about Kllkls, 40 miles north of Salonika,
detached a force which cut the Salonlka
Belgrado railroad at Guevghell and for the
moment Isolated Servla. At the same time
the balance of this army undertook to hold
In chock the main Greek army advancing
from Salonika.
Unfortunately for the Bulgarians their
numbers were Inadequate for tho work
undertaken. After a brief period of confusion
the Serbs rallied, took the offensive, and In
a five days' struggle cut the main Bulgar
army In half, driving ono portion through
Istlb and over the mountains Into old Bul
garia, around Kustendll, and the other south
upon Strumnltza.
At the same time a Greco-Serb force
expelled the Bulgar detachment from tho
Vardar Valley, at Guovghell, driving it alsi
in on Strumnltza. Finally, the main Greek
army easily and quickly overpowered the
second Bulgar army about Kllkls and drove
it northeast of Strumnltza. A small Bulgp.r
force operating around Seres and Kavala waj
also obliged to flee north to escape capture,
and the three beaten armies made their
escape through the Struma passes.
Czar Ferdinand's Task
Today Bulgaria will have to start behind
frontier drawn by her old enemies, she will
have to begin any attack upon the Oriental
railroad between Uskub and Veles behind
the mountains which separate her from
Macedonia; that is, she will have to start at
Kustendll instead of at Istlb. At only one
point will her armies be, at the outset, within
striking distance of the Oriental railroad, and'
that is at Btrumnltza, where Bulgar territory
is within a dozen miles of the railway. It Is
at, this point that Macedonian comitadjls
made a foray some months ago,
Meantime the Allied troops landed at
Salonika can be transported by rail to th
Ouevghel! danger point in a brief time. Wil
garia, pn her side, will have to operate Mr
from railroads, depending upon tuouatsla
roads and paths. This was one of the uau
I of hr dfU in 11 mU may prova disastrous
SMALL POTATOES
i -ll
i-n
again. From Nlsh to Guevghell, Servla and
her allies will fight with their backs to a
railroad, thus being assured of supplies and
munitions. As for XJreece, If sh,e undertakes
to hold her own northern frontier, from tho
Vardar to the Mesta, she will havo behind
her tho Constantinople-Salonika railroad.
It is conceivable that Bulgaria will con
centrate her troops west of Sofia and drlvo
northwest through Pirot to Nish, while the
Germans drive southeast from Belgrade and
Semendrla toward Nlsh. This would open
tho Belgrade-Constantinople railroad, but It
would leave tho Servian armies on the flank,
and until the Serb force, with Its Allied re
lnforcements, Is disposed of, such an avenue
would be exposed to attacks and wholly In
secure. If Germany actually means to hack a way
through Servla to Bulgaria, It would seem
necessary first to cut the Oriental railway
north of the Greek frontier, thus isolating
Servla, then destroy the Serb army and repeat
the Belgian exploit in the little Slav king
dom. Servla once eliminated, Germany could
leave to Bulgaria the task of holding Mace
donia and thus keeping tho Allies far away
from the.Belgrade-Nlsh-Constantlnople rail
way. Tho key to the whole Balkan conflict will
be found- In the railroad map. The line from
Belgrado to Constantinople through Nish Is
the pathway of German advance to Con
stantinople, as it was that of tho Crusaders
In another century. Tho railway from Nlsh
to Salonika is the lifo line of Servla and tho
only route by which she can bo reinforced
and munitioned.
THE GOD OF BATTLES
Mr. Robert Service, the Canadian writer, who
is at present engaged in Red Cross work in
France, has sent to the Paris correspondent of
an English paper what he describes as "the
best war poem I have seen." The verses,
which. Sir. Service says, were found by a
French priest on the body of an English sol
dier killed at the Marne, run as follows:
They say that war Is Hell, the great accurst,
Tho sin Impossible to be forgiven;
Tet I can look upon It at Its worst,
And still see blue In Heaven.
For when I note how nobly natures form
Under the war's red rain, I deem It true
That He who made the earthquake and the
storm
Perchance made battles, too.
As a matter of fact, the lines were written In
a time of -profound peace, like most good war
poems, and by a man who was an ecclesiastic,
not a soldier Their author was Doctor Alexan
der, the late Lord Primate of Ireland, and they
were first published In the Times some seven or
eight years ago. Manchester Guardian.
THE LOVE OF TREES
That one should feel affection for great trees
Is natural. In the Minnesota forests I met a
lumberman who told me he wept bitter tears
when he got orders to cut down a fine hemlock
Every stroke of the axe seemed to him to bo
felt by the sturdy monarch whose life he was
taking.
When I havo revisited the "woods" In which
as a boy, I gathered nuts, I have fancied the
trees I used to climb recognized me. They
