THE ARABIC AFFAIR
THAT after too frightful blundering o(
It. Bryan tho State Department was
abto to avoid Interruption of dlplomntlo re
kttioes with Germany and secure from that
Government ao explicit a disavowal as haa
beea obtained In tho Arablo case Is one of
tho ratracloa of modern diplomacy.
A diffloalt task at best, bringing Germany
to a realisation of her primary duties was
reedered doubly hard on account of tho
Impression given by Mr. Bryan that this
country was not In earnest and was sending
solemn protests for petty political purposes
only. The situation has bcon saved by tho
efficiency of Mr. Lonulriff, who became a
factor before things woro hopelessly mud
dled, and was ablo by herculean efforts to
bring order out of tho chaos which existed.
The national dignity has thus been saved
further humiliation, and peace with honor
seems to have been wrung from tho con
fusion which Ignorance had occasioned.
The Arabic case, so happily in process of
settlement, should forebode an assumption
of responsibility by Germany for tho Lusl
tanla outrage and tho payment of largo In
demnities for tho American lives so ruth
lessly destroyed. It Is not out of place to
record the service of tho German Ambas
sador, on whom dovolved In a large measure
the difficult task of convincing his Govern
ment of the seriousness of Washington. He
has worked sedulously, it appears, to pre
vent a rupturo. His success so far should
mean further success and the final settle
ment of the Liusltania affair on terms satis
factory to this nation, so far as that Is
possible.
WHAT MAKES A CITY GREAT
NATURE provides the opportunities for a
city; but cities do not become great
save as teen of energy and intelligence make
the most of the opportunities.
The greatness of this city, blessed with a
location unsurpassed among Inland cities of
the' world, can never surpass the greatness
of the living men who are In charge of Its
development.
Why handicap It by putting little men In
power, who could not do great things even If
they desired?
FIT BROTHER TO THE BEAST?
MUIKHB Is an old Joke about the "descent-Xof-man"
Idea in which the point Is that
the monkey ought to feel Insulted. A year
ago tha Joke was only a little stale. Today It
has a cynical touch that Is terrible to con
template. The monkey, at least. Is clean living. It
has a frank and ruthless pleasure In fight
ing. With the other beasts of the forest It
enjoys a cortain amount of killing for kill
ing's sake. It Is not a hypocrite and doesn't
talk about necessity.
Tha soldier In the trenches today la bel
meted and armored so that he looks like a
monkey. He has to dress that way. But It
Isn't altogether an accident that the ruler
who forced him Into the trenches doesn't
dress like an apo.
The ape might pity the soldier, but ho
would never forgive the ruler for pretending
to be better than he Is.
MARS TO THE MONARCH
CONGRATULATING General French and
all the ranks of bis men, George V, King
and Emperor, wrote: '

MEANING OF TnE BALKAN MOVES
NEITHER the Allies nor Germany under
estimate the Importance of the develop
ments In the Balkans. It Is within the bounds
of possibilities that the great issues of the
war will be settled by the battles on the Bal
kan peninsula and on the plains of Asia
Minor.
Germany Is fighting for a place In the sun.
German statesmen have been planning for
years to extend tho Teutonic Influence in
the Near East and to make a commercial
conquest of Asia Minor. There la a vast
territory in Eastern Turkey sparsely Inhab
ited and barren that was ouce the granary
MC (fee world. Germany has been ambitious
te ettfieit. It. In this desire can be found the
Wit ef the long efforts of Berlin to secure a
jtraatoNitBatlnff Influence In Constantinople
la make or Turkey a German depea.
Vtw German Balkan policy has been part
: ttats Han. The Balkan war by depriving
'iffMV of nearly all of Its territory In
rTum postponed the consummation of the
desires. After that war Germany
to deal with Bulgaria, and with the
of Ferdinand, it hoped, and still
hoyiafc U Jlnd a way to Constantinople and
thane' a Asia. It of the greatest Impor
tant te the AW that th way U Ala
afiaor laroiicb the Balkans to closed to Oer
many, oof tofauee of the nopeasMy of bold
Um Cwnataattaople Befily for ConatauU
ik tries mia but bacauM the way to tbo
East must be closed. Tho campaign at the
Dardanelles must succeed In order to open
a way for the passngo of Russian grain to
Western Europe, but also to cut Germany
off from her goal.
The allied statesmen have not lost sight of
tho Issues at stake. An English expedition
was sent from India months ago to fight Its
way from tho head of tho Persian Gulf to
Bagdad and northward. When tho Grand
Duko Nicholas was detached from tho main
Russian nrmy and sent to tho Caucasus tho
tlmo was ripe for the co-operation between
tho Russian and British in tho great move
ment to seize the Turkish territory, and to
pre-empt for the Allies that placo In the
sun to obtain which Germany hos brought
down chaos upon tho civilized world.
PUT PHILADELPHIA ON THE MAP
"1ITIES as well as States aro dependent for
their growth upon the development of
railroads. D. M. Brogan, of Oregon, who
talked about tho resources of his State to
on Evbnino Lbdoer representative yester
day, bemoans the pitiable lack of offshoots
and branch lines to open up the land along
tho main lino railroads. Ho asked the man
agers of ono road to run a spur Into a dis
trict In which he was Interested, but was
told that ho was years ahead of tho times.
Ho was not to bo denied and built tho spur
himself and his confldenco In the possibili
ties of tho district was justified.
Tho great railroad men of tho Northwest
are ordinarily alert enough to see opportuni
ties ahead of any one else. They havo learned
by long cxpcrlcnco that people will follow
a now railroad, that they will open up tho
country, ralso crops, build houses and schools
and factories and that all this means freight
and passenger business.
What railroads can do In tho Northwest
rapid transit lines can do for Philadelphia,
with ono-tcnth of the risk Involved.
Thero is a vast undeveloped territory with
in tho city limits awaiting rapid transit,
and as soon as street car lines penetrate It
houses will bo built and factories will
spring up.
Faith In tho future of tho city and courage
to bank on that faith ought to bo enough to
provide all the transportation lines nccdod.
But more Is needed bocauso thero are little
men hero, timid men who in splto of the dem
onstrations of experience are afraid that the
city will be bankrupt If it lends Its credit to
provide rapid transit. And thoro aro selfish
men hero who aro seeking to delay develop
ment until they aro ready to undertake It
themselves and pocket the profit that there
may bo In exploitation of corporations or
ganized to build tho now lines.
The plain people of tho city have It within
their power to checkmate all obstructionists
whatever be the motive of obstruction. Rapid
transit Is within their grasp If they will only
reach out and take It. The matter can be
settled on November 2, by tho election of a
Mayor and Councils committed to tho en
lightened transit plans already Indorsed at
the polls, and It can bo settled In no other
way.
A vote for any ono who Is not heart and
soul for rapid transit Is a vote for a little
Philadelphia In a year when all organizations
of tho whole community ought to be working
together to place the city on tho map in let
tors so big that they cannot bo overlooked
even by the most casual observer.
IDEAL OF NATIONALITY
A CONVERSATION In the grandest man
ner Is reported out of Bulgaria by the
Corrlere Delia Sera, of Milan. It Is Impos
sible to determine at this distance whether
It occurred as reported, or the Italian love
of drama touched It up. In cither case It Is
remarkable.
When King Ferdinand of Bulgaria had an
nounced his policy to the leaders of tho op
position, M. Stambullvskl said to him:
It Is a policy which can only lead to dis
aster, which will compromise not only the
future of the country, but your own dynasty,
and which may cost you your head.
So spoke the farmer to the monarch. Judge
now of the monarch's reply:
Do not trouble yourself about my head.
It is an old one. Rather think of your own.
And finally the great democratic retort of
Gtambullvskl:
My head matters little, sire. I am think
ing only of the country,
Ferdinand and his Premier, Badoslavoff,
are pro-German. Maltnoff and his associates,
of whom Stambullvskl Is one, know the dan
ger of taking any step of which Russia dis
approves. None of them is free. Yet in their
every word there Is that freedom of spirit
which comes from unselfish devotion to a
great ideal the Ideal of nationality.
Tho next news will be the old favorite:
Russia breaks with Sofia!
Bernstorff says the Arablo incident is set
tled; but will It stay settled?
The United St-tes Is refunding canal tolls.
That's easier than pushing the slide back

PROM THE DAYS OP
THE CLIPPER SHIPS
The Romantic Story of Cramps'.
A Mcrchnnt Mnrine That Flies
tho Flags of Many Nations.
A Motto That Worked
By WILLIAM J. CLARK
CONTRACTS have somo part, of course, In.
keeping Cramps' In a foremost place In
current history, and Jt figures In tho present
titanic endeavor to establish a coalition
among tho great Industrials of the country;
but back of nil that lies nnother story. The
namo of Cramp has been synonymous with
tho best In shipbuilding for 85 years from
clipper ships to modern leviathans of com
merce nnd ships of war. Tho William Cramp
& Sons Ship and Engine Building Company
hns kept pace with tho times ever since tho
first vessel left tho ways.
Evidence of continued advancement Is
shown In tho nnnounccment that $700,000
Is soon to bo expended in Improvements. Tho
recent activities of tho company's stocks Is
anothor Indication that Innocuous desuctudo
Is not In prospect.
The Little Old Wooden Ships
Ever since William Cramp began con
structing small wooden ships with his own
hands, back In 1830, Cramps' had been a
pioneer. The clipper ships turned out nt
this yard becamo famous, and aided greatly
In giving tho supremacy of the Sovcn Seas
to tho Stars nnd Stripes In nntc-bollum days.
Undo Sam's first iron warship, tho New
Ironsides, took her mniden plungo Into tho
water from Cramps' shipways. Her record
teems with thrills In tho naval strugglo of
tho Civil War.
"Turn out tho best ships nnd let tho profits
take care of themselves," was tho motto of
tho shipbuilders from tho earliest days, nnd
It has never been forgotten.
The Georgo W. Clyde, tho first iron steam
ship built In tho United States, was tho work
of William Cramp. Sho was also tho first
steamship in America to bo equipped with a
compound engine. Our navy's first battleship,
tho Indiana, recently sold to Greece, was
Cramp constructed. Other vessels con
structed for tho navy wero tho cruisers
Yorktown, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark,
New York, Columbia, Minneapolis, Brooklyn,
tho battleships Indiana, Alabama, Massa
chusetts, Iowa, Colorado, tho old Pennsyl
vania and new Malno and a fleet of smaller
auxiliary craft.
Flying tho merchant flag of this country
Cramp-built ships havo plowed through tho
waves of every ocean. Two of tho four
regular line vessels engaged In tho transat
lantic trado under tho American flag, the St.
LouIh and St. Paul, wero constructed in tho
Kensington yard. Tho Great Northern and
the Nbrthern Pacific, two of the largest,
fastest and finest passenger steamships ply
ing along tho Pacific coast, aro tho product
of tho shipyard that has always been the
pride of Philadelphia, Tho steamships
Kroonland nnd Finland, carrying tourists
through tho Panama Canal from Atlantic
to Pacific and vlco versa, wero "Mado nt
Cramps." Theso vessels wero tho first big
passenger steamships to use Undo Sam's
gigantic waterway.
Cramps' constructed the Ohio, Indiana,
Pennsylvania and Illinois for the American
Line when that company wns first organized
by locnl capitalists. A fleet of more than a
hundred vessels now engaged In tho coast
wlso trado was launched at Cramps'. Back
In the early days tho fame of the shipyard
was established by tho clipper ships Bridge
water, Manltou, Morning Light, John Trucks
Chamberlain and Isaac Joanes.
Ships In the Present War
Other shipyards may havo recently sur
passed Cramps' In tho number of new con
tracts obtained for construction of vessels
for tho merchant marino, but none has come
near the record established by Cramps' for
the construction of vessels for tho United
States Navy and the navies of other coun
tries. From tho decks nnd ports of vessels
built by this company guns have thundered
In the defense of tho Union in the Civil War,
for tho freedom of Cuba In the Spanish
American war and In asserting the rights
of tho United States In vnrious parts of the
world. In tho Russo-Japanese struggle war
ships turned out by Cramps' for both coun
tries met and fought. Turkey Is defending
herself against the Invasion of tho Allies with
Cramp-built warships, and should Greece en
ter the struggle she, too, has the product of
Cramps' workmen to assist her in fighting
her enemies. '
Under William Cramp's management the
yard turnod out 207 vessels, nil tho Jlnest
of their tlmo. duo to the indefatigable labor,
the patience and perseverance of tho founder,
who laid wisely the foundations upon which
his successors havo bullded well.
Following tho death of William Cramp, his
son Charles II. assumed the presidency. His
sons Edwin S. and Henry held executive posi
tions. In 1872 they Incorporated the company
under Its present name. The Morgan-Drexel
Interest, led by E. T. Btotesbury, secured
control of the company In 1903 and elected
Henry S, Grove president. It Is still under
the Morgan-Drexel control, although It is
rumored tho Schwab interests are endeavor
ing to secure it. Mr, Grove is Bttll president.
The "Cramp boys," grown gray in service,
held executive positions until a few years
ago, when they left the company. Henry
died and Edwin 8. moved to New York.
Charles II. died only recently, as did Edwin,
and the last Cramp holdings of stocks,
tho property of tho Edwin S. Cramp
estate, were recently sold by a local broker,
thus marking the passing of the Cramp In
terest from the shipyard that will carry tho
namo down in history.
A big boom is predicted for Cramps' In the
near future. By holding back from accept
ing long-time contracts they are now In posi
tion to accept short-time work at a premium.
Enough work Is now In tho hands of the
builders to last two years. It consists of
several torpedoboat destroyers for the United
Btates Nayy and several large freight and
passenger steamships, with minor work.

THE GARY OF
So He Has Been Called, But Samuel Mathews Vauclain Is Much
Better Described by His Own Name His Qualities and
Achievements Give Him Unique Distinction
By WILLIAM
DO YOU know the Gnry of Philadelphia"?
If not by that title perhaps you recog
nize him as the Edison of tho Steel Horse.
As vlco president of tho Baldwin Locomotlvo
Works, Samuel Mathews Vauclain was glvnn
tho first tltlo for tlio way In which ho
smashed all records In the construction of tho
big plant of tho Remington Arms Company
at Eddystono. And not only for that, but
for the breadth and humanity of his vlows
as a man of large affairs.
But It does not requlro tho namo of any
oth,cr, howover notable, to describe Mr. Vau
clain. Ho was born In this city, and with
the exception of 10 years spent In tho shops
of tho Pennsylvania Railroad at Altoona,
Pa., his entlro business enreer has bcon In
Philadelphia. For 32 years he has been with
tho company of which ho Is now vlco presi
dent and a directing genius. Ho started July
1, 1$83, as foreman of tho 17th street shops,
became superintendent of plant equipment
two years later and a member of tho firm,
then Burnham, Williams & Co., in 1895.
His Faith in Man
Mr. Vauclain has been In tho public eyo
recently because of his work at Eddystono,
and Justly. But ho has other achievements
to his credit, nono the less remarkable. He
was tho Inventor, fo Instance, o tho orig
inal compound locomotive completed by tho
works for tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company In October, 1889. He was the chief
flguro In the settlement of tho Baldwin striko
a fow years ago. Ho devised and put Into
operation a system of compensation for
workmen and their families that Is said to
bo the finest In the country; a system that
costs them nothing nnd makes them thrifty.
Four International expositions In which ho
haa been a collaborator havo honored him
with awards, and In 1906 the University of
Pennsylvania conferred upon him tho degree
of Doctor of Science.
Mr. Vauclain Is not In nny sense a politi
cian. If he wero ho could undoubtedly
achlevo success merely by his sincere belief
In and admiration for tho "common people"
and his ability to make them bcllevo In his
sincerity. He describes himself as one of
them does It with a touch of pride. And
as to their honesty, Mr. Vauclain holds somo
views that are almost unique in modern
business circles. He believes, for Instance,
that much more money Is wasted by large
corporations to prevent workmen from steal
ing than would be lost by thefts without tho
preventlvo measures. For this be has the
proof In the record of tho Baldwin Locomo
tlvo works, which has paid as many as 20,000
men a week, never exacting receipts from
them, and which has yet to faco its first suit
for nonpayment of salary.
Ho believes that mutual trust Is the basis
of all social and Industrial life. Ho makes
other men trust him, regardless of their sta
tion, by showing his faith in them. And he
has found this philosophy durable in a life
time test.
Vauclain in His Ofllce
Mr. Vauclain occupies a small ofllce In the
corner of the Administration Building, at
15th and Spring Garden streets. It is sim
ply furnished. In contrast with tho endless
roar of the nearby Bhops, it Is singularly
quiet and peaceful in that ofllce. There Is
a glass plate on the desk, and beneath it
two long phptogrophlo strips showing the
progress of the work at Eddystone on the
Remington plant and that of the Eddystone
Munition CopiPany, a subsidiary of the
Baldwin Works, incorporated to fill war con
tracts. It is a common saying In Mr. Vau
claln's ofllce that the plants grow faster than
the photographs, which are changed every
Monday. The ofllce has but one other occu
pant, Mr. Vauclaln's pet dachshund. In be
tween the demands of business he finds time
to play with the animal. '
To the mind of Mr, Vauclain there is
nothing extraordinary in hta part of the ac
complishment at Kddystone, it is quite com
mon for business men tp get what they go
after. lie went after speed in the erection
of the two enormous plants, and he got It.
Naturally, lie Is proud of the work done, but
It Is a generous pride and mainly for his as
sociates la the irreat enterprise Thero 1 but
one thing tor which Mr. Vauclain takes
erf alt to Wmoelf, and ho does t,hat modestly.
It js the JiaMwlw compensation" agreement.
It Jo related that while this plan was bo
fn worked ouf by th Baldwin chiefs tho
question of making provision for men per
"DARWIN WAS RIGHT!"
PHILADELPHIA
A. McGARRY
manently disabled In the works camo up and
proved a stumbling block until Mr. Vauclain
found the answer. Ho describes it as a "sim
ple method," Briefly, It Is to pay workmen
permanently Injured a salary for life, based
on tho average wage for the four weeks pre
ceding the accident. Tho death benefit In
tho system Is 100 weeks on the same average,
not to exceed $3000. Jn event of permanent
or temporary Injury, tho benefits paid under
the Baldwin plan do not come from the sav
ings of the employe. It Is necessary for em
ployes to becomo depositors In the saving
fund of the company to receive tho benefits.
A Familiar Figure in the Shop
The man who was primarily responsible
for this system has always been popular
with employes of tho locomotive works. Ho
Is a familiar figure In all the shops of tho
company, and Is known personally to a large
percentage of tho workmen. Mr. Vauclain
sets them a good example. He is methodical,
almost rigorous, in his personal habits. He
rises every morning throughout tho year at
half-past B, and frequently Is at his office
before 7 o'clock. Sometimes It Is 6 when
he leaves. As ho goes about tho shops his
heavy thatch of white hair gleams under an
eld straw hat. Nearly everybody, by the
way, weari an old straw hat during business
hours at Baldwin's.
Work Is Mr. Vauclaln's hobby. He rarely
has tlmo for the ordinary amusements of the
theatre or tho horse show, although his
daughters generally have entries In the latter
event, and he himself Is fond of horses. He
does not find It necessary to play golf or take
other exercise outside his work to keep In fine
physical condition. At B9 he is alert and
active. Ho visits the work at Eddystono fre
quently nnd Inspects eyerythlng at a pace
that keeps younger men hustling. Yet lie
never misses anything.
Mr, Vauclaln's ancestry Is French on his
father's side and Scotch-Irish on his moth
er's. His father, Andrew Vauclain, was an
employe of the Matthias Baldwin who
founded the locomotive works. Mr. Vauclain
was married In 1879 to Miss Annie Kearney.
They have two sons and three daughters.
Their homo la at Rosemont, Pa.
"JUST NATURALLY"
A lone Texas ranchman stood off a band of
Mexican raiders, killing two or three and
wounding others. Mr. Bryan may point with
pride to this as showing what Americans "Just
naturally" could do against anything and any
body, Kansas Cltf Star.
A MIRACULOUS RECOVERY
On the Austro-Itallan frontier a lieutenant of
artillery, Francesco Ummarlno, was admitted to
the hospital stricken absolutely dumb by the
violent explosion at his feet of an Austrian
grenade. For aeveral days he could only indi
cate hta feelings or his wants by manual signs
till King Victor Emmanuel arrived unexpected
ly at the hospital.
