WHAT 1915 MAY BRING FORTH
Well worthy of thoughtful consideration by per
sons who are asking what 1915 has in store for the
financial, commercial and industrial interests of the
country is Bradstreet's forecast for the year just
started. Coming from such an authoritative source
it contains much of value to business men and its
conservatively optimistic tone is especially helpful
at the close of a year so full of discouragements.
The forecast in part follows:
It needs to be remembered that following the first crash
of hostilities and the succeeding recuperation, the effect of
the immense war expenditures has been a stimulating one,
and European as well as America® industries catering in
any way to war conditions have been accelerated. It was
so in our civil war, and there is historical basis for the
claim that replacing the waste of war has often given an
impetus to a varied liue of industries. The financial results,
the debts piled up, the ruin of the fought-over regions, the
industries destroyed, the lives lost, the trade formerly
possessed gone beyond recall, must be left to the future to
record, but it must be remembered that the world as a
whole inevitably pays the bill as truly as the business com
munity pays the loss from failure or from fire. The lot of
the neutral in the war is not an altogether pleasant one—
we in this country have felt this already—but as the lead
ing neutral country, a position which it is to be hoped we
will retain, we seem destined to fall heir to much of
Europe's lost trade. On the surface of things, it might be
said that we have completed in the form of bankruptcies a
vast volume of liquidation that, hurtful as it has been, will
not need to be done over again. We now have a real cur
rency system, and the time-honored American panic seems
to have lost most of its power for evil. It is to be hoped
that the bulk of our recent legislation, but notably the
tariff and the ship registry bills, will bring us new cus
tomers. Our crops have been large, aud, even with the loss
in cotton, have brought nearly as much money as the best
of previous years. Our conduct as a nation has made, not
lost, us friends among the belligerents, and some of the
events of the year, have taught our manufacturers and
statesmen the value, indeed, the necessity, of strengthening
our industrial resources, where the war has demonstrated
that weaknesses exist. All in all, the American business
man seems justified in taking leave of 1914 with few re
grets and more hopes than seemed possible at some dis
turbed periods in the recent paßt.
There is encouragement, in the fact that a forecast
from such a reliable source contains so many ele
ments of good cheer. It might be added with profit
that one of the most important things to be consid
ered if 1915 is to see revival of business on a scale
such as there are reasonable grounds to hope for,
is the necessity of dispelling unwarranted gloom
and of suppressing the professional "calamity
howler." There is nothing so much needed to in
sure increasing prosperity as a revival of invest
ment confidence, for if investors# cannot be con
vinced of the wisdom of putting their money into
channels where it can be used for commercial and
industrial development, there is bound to be a han
dicap placed on such development. Nothing does
more to discourage the investor than the wails of
the "calamity howler" who usually is prompted by
some selfish motive.
PASSING OF PETTICOAT RULE IN THE ARMY
That ax-my officers who desire promotion no
longer have to make themselves popular in Wash
ington society in order to achieve their ends is the
import of an announcement made yesterday by Sec
retary of War Garrison. "Petticoat rule at the
War Department has btjen abolished," is the way
the newspaper correspondents put it.
In accounts of Washington society, past and
, . t i ' '* \ ■" 4*- ». • : '

HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 9, 1915
present, there are often hints of petticoat rule, and
instances of men who get into choice offices be
cause they are good mixers and have many persons
of the sex to speak good words for them.
That high officials have been governed to some
extent in the making of important appointments by
the recommendations of women of their families
does not seem to be at all impossible.
Unsympathetic Secretary Garrison, however, has
now declared that popularity in society will no
longer be the requisite for promotion in the army,
and aspirants for advancement will have to form
other plans of campaign. Popularity of array men
iu society is losing out as definite means to a selfish
end.
UNITY IN FIGHTING NATIONS '
While we Americans who suffer rather remotely
the consequences of the Great War are arguing
and entreating for the end of hostilities, the sub
jects of the battling kings and emperors as well as
the citizens of fighting Prance are making no de
mands for cessation of the war strong enough to
cause much disturbance, so far, at least, as cen
sored news dispatches relate.
There have been utterances of dissatisfaction
about one thing or another, but no demands gener
ally that the conflict be brought to a close. Anti
war riots are reported from Austria-Hungary, which
may be attributed to the repeated misfortunes of
the Austrian arms. Protests have been made, too,
in both Germany and England regarding alleged
insufficient provision made by the governments for
the wives and children.of soldiers; yet these objec
tions have been made not concerning the continu
ance of the war, but about conditions which con
tinuance of the war, taken for granted, will bring
about.
Before the war it had been predicted that if ever
conflict between nations came, prohibitive prices of
food in the belligerent countries would cause des
peration among unfed crowds of the working
classes, culminating in resolutions among them to
stop the war through civil strife. The socialistic
organizations, and all other bodies having pro
nounced anti-war sentiments, were also taken into
account in the predictions.
It was even said in tones which commanded re
spect that there could never again be prolonged
war between nations, but only between classes;
that the division lines on the map of Europe/could
no longer be drawn vertically, between the English,
the French, the Germans and the Russians, but
must thenceforth be drawn horizontally, separating
capitalists and laborers.
Since the war has broken, however, such theories
have been suffering. The antagonism among na
tions has resulted not in civil dissention, but in
unity within the nations. The Great War has, in
stead of bringing on strife within the belligerent
countries, prevented civil war which was evidently
pending in some of them.
Calls to arms have rung through Europe and
boys and men of all classes have responded, per
haps not always with great patriotic fervor, but
at least without loudly uttered protest. The aston
ishing national unity thus far manifested should
serve as an example for unity in peace, when peace
is finally declared.
Speaking of the good things of life it is gratifying to
learn that at last Front street is to have its fill.
While figuring on what to do with the Stough tabernacle,
why not go after one of the national political conventions
for Harrisburg for 1916?
We are awaiting with interest "Froth's" comment on the
publication of the annual story of the bear floating down
the Susquehanna on a cake of ice.
Oscar Hammerstein a bridegroom! Think of all the
broken hearts along Broadway as a result of the removal
of the gav young Oscar from the list of eligible "catches!"
• The value of the American dollar has advanced from
70 cents to $1.05 in Berne, Switzerland, since the opening
of the European war. Evidently Europe is beginning to
cultivate a respect for real money.

Shooting Down an Aviator
A German artillerist, writing from
Bapaume, France, tells of the death of
a French aviator who was brought
down by German gunners.
"To-day I saw a French aviator
brought down by our guns," he said.
"The French flyers had been growing
•bolder and bolder, especially in recoin
noitering behind our front, and so we
concealed a half battery of howitzers in
a village about four miles to the rear
in order to teach them a lesson. Things
happened as we expected. By 8 o 'clock
in the morning there came an aero
plane, sailing along with the greatest
assuranco in the world. The guns at
the front were not permitted to fire.
a»d after passing them the aviator,
thinking all danger past, kept coming
lower and lower, reaching finally a lev
el of about 1,000 feet. Not suspecting
that he would encounter German artil
lery so far to the rear, he came within
easy shooting distance for our gunners
in the village.

"Suddenly two shots were heard,

tually at the same ypot, until he was

cloudlets. One shot exploded just in
front of him, the other just behind him.
Our men had gotten their range very
quickly. Then followed two more shots,
one a little to the right, the other just
to the left. As seen through my field
glasses, the aeroplane seemed to waver,
as if it had been damaged. It did not
seem to obey its steering gear, for it
could not get away from the spot.

Rare Feat of Marksmanship
"The next two shots, fired almost
simultaneously, settled its fate. The
first one cut oft' a wing smoothly. The
other was a square hit, and the appara
tus was scattered to the four winds. I

the whole war. The gun-pointer who
fired it had already distinguished him
self 011 several occasions, and he won
the llou Cross with to-day's achieve
ment. The fragments of the aeroplane
were picked up afterward from a wide
reach of ground, but of the aviator only
a few bits were found.
Trick to Draw Aeroplanes' Fire
"Yesterday," the letter continued,
"we set up some boards in an aban
doned ' position to resemble a gun
shield. Theih we sawed off some logs
and painted them to look like cannon
muzzles when placed in position be
tween the boards. To-day the French

tors coujd tell them that they had been
duped. - '
A Japanese View of the West
In an article entitled, "Japan and
the European Armageddon," Count
Okumu, the Prime Minister of Japan,
writing in the "Japan Magazine"
about the war, says some forceful
things about Japar. 's relation to the
West.
"It will be our ambition at this
time," he writes, "to show the West
what it is slow to believe, that we can
work harmoniously with great Occi
dental powers to support and protect
the highest ideals of civilization, even
to the extent of dying for them. Not
only in the Far West, but anywhere
else that may be necessary, Japan is
ready to lay down her life for the prin
ciples that the foremost nations will
die for. It is to Ibe in line with these
nations thnt she is at this time opposing
and fighting what she believes to be
opposed to these principles."
♦ * *
The Japanese Ambition
The Premier continues: "She en
tered the alliance with Great Britain
to stand for and die for what Anglo-
Saxons are everywhere ready to de
fend, even unto death. It is Japan's
aim and ambition to participate in all
world movements towarl noble diplom
acy, international relations and the
principle of equal opportunity and
peace, and to prevent by one proper
means the outbreak or continuance of
bloodshed between nations. Japan's
relation to the present conflict is as a
defender of the things that make for
higher civilization and a more perma
nent peace."

expressed in this column.
He Favors Votes for Women
Editor, the Star-Independent:
Dear Sir—After weeks of stren
uous effort "licking the devil" and
'shaking; up the dry bones" the Stouph
campaign has ended and another chap
ter has been added to the civic right
eousness of Greater Harri»burg. The
old adage, "in union there is strength,"
has been fully exemplified by the enor
mous contingent of men and money
cheerfully furnished for the occasion.
Let us hope that much -permanent good
may -be the result.
I notice that the Uev. Dr. Stough has
attacked the "Big Interests" and their
hirelings who betrayed the people for
' t f! ' ty P' eces °f silver" (and several
millions of gold) and he is making it
decidedly hot for "de gang." The jack
als have "sold the pe6ple's birthright
for a mess of pottage" to Big Biz and
appropriated the pottage to themselves.
The age of restitution is at hand, says
Pastor Rues ell, and if Dr. Stough will
chase them "in season and out of sea
son, perhaps they will disgorge, but
in my humble opinion "Votes for Wom
en" will be indispensable to the job of
cleaning the Augean stables.
X)r. Stough has a big job on hand but
let us hope that he will "fight it out
? n Ji 1 } ine It takes all summer."
In his vehement denunciation of "wick
edness in high places" he has "hit the
trail' of that ancient labor leader, the
lowly Nazarene, who "had not where
to*lay his head," and he may some day
find himself landed squarely "In His
Steps."
"Our elder brother, the way-shower,"
was always mild and gentle when ad
dressing "the common people," and they
"heard him gladly." He fed the multi
tude before He preached to them. Dr.
Stough puts his audience in a good
humor by making them laugh, which is
a good way, too. Amuse and then
instruct. Shakespeare says: "There is
good in everything; sermons in stones,"
etc., and no doubt the campaign did
some good, but we would most respect
fully suggest a more up-to-date meth
?7.\ There is more than one way of
killing a dog without choking him on
butter. Give the workers the full value
of the product of their labor anil nine
tenths of all sin, crime and misery of
the world will disapper.
"The System, Frenzied Finance," is
the root of all evil. Frances Willard,
that noble humanitarian, discovered
that nien steal because they are cold
and hungry and "drink because they
are poor," in an attempt to drown their
troubles. Women sell their souls for
the same reasons. Many commit crime,
burglary, petit larceny, etc., in order to
"make a living."
The crime of grand larceny perpe
trated by those who steal railroads,
mines, seats in Congress, etc., is the
only sane excuse for the doctrine of
"total depravity." Fortunately they
are in the "vast minority" and will be
eliminated "in the course of human
events, by the co-operative common
wealth.
Economic justice and not soup house
charity is what the workers need, and
tney will get it as soon as they acquire
enough good common horse sense to
vote for it. I am a firm believer in the
Innate nobility of humanity and am
(not almost, but) "Fully Persuaded"
that in the near future they will come
into possession of their own, "the earth
and the fullness thereof." In the lan
guage of of the world's greatest
humanitarians "The world is my coun
try; all maiikind my countrymen, and
to do good is my religion."

PANGGANGS OF MALAY
Ruled by an Old Witch, They Are the
Queerest People Known
Ruled by a great enchantress and
having no form of money, the Pang
gangs, a tribe in a mountainous jungle
in the northern pfart of the Malay pen
insula, is one of the queerest known to
white men. The tribesmen are of a
negroid type, whose social organization
is that of a Bimple form of common
wealth and who are nomadic, wander
ing about from place to place in their
dense jungles and forests.
Among them dwells a woman whose
strange characteristics are strongly
reminiscent of Haggard's famous
"She." The woman is supposed to bo
a great enchantress. She is held in
dread by the Panggangs. She lives
alone in a bamboo hut, shaded by the
leaves of the sacred übang tree. Food
is brought her daily by the oldest man
or woman of the tribe.
The Panggangs are said to be a
.peaceable and honest people, and do not,
among themselves, either fight or steal.
They literally have no use for money
for trading purposes, but if by ehance
they get money they bury it, so that
they may use it in trading after death.
After getting a supply of food, they
do no work whatever until the supply
is ended. They eat any wild creature.
These people do not seem to have
any religion, but they have a queer
ibelief in the "transmigration of souls.
In their country tigers are numerous,
and tliey believe that sometimes their
relatives, when they died, become
changed into tigers.—Argonaut.
