LITTLE IMMIGRATION.
(Seattle P.-I.)
During the last fiscal year, according
to the recent report of the Immigra
tion bureau, our alien population In
creased by but 50,070. Since that date
thousands more of alien residents of
the United States have returned home
to fight or take the places open to them
in industries.
The rate of increase through immi
gration during the past fiscal year was
only about one-sixteenth of what It
had been formerly. During 1913 the
alien population increased 815,303.
During 1914, when the depression start
ed by tarifT legislation began, the In
crease had dropped to 769,276. Now
it is practically stationary, and there
is fair probability that should the war
ntinue until June next the alien
population of the United States will
show an actual decrease.
It Is not alone to take part in the
fighting that workers are returning to
Europe. Agents are in this country
now soliciting the services of skilled
workmen for the munition plants of
England and offering wages as high as
are paid In the United States. There
is keen competition for this class of
■ u,r, and Europe is getting quite a
lot of it from us.
There is a good deal of speculation,
purely theoretical, whether at the end
of the war there is to be a great re
newal of immigration to the United
States. Whether there is*or not, there
is an interval during which no Immi
gration of any large proportions may
bo expected und it is a question wheth
er there will not be felt a serious short
age of labor of all kinds If the im
provement In the Industrial world pro
gresses longer at the present rate.
permitted to send more than the usual
mount of exports to neutral European
countries, and, according to Mr. Skin
ner's report, England Is not restricting
our trade In order to keep supplies
from Germany, but in order that Eng
land herself may get the business. Mr.
Skinner professes to have the official
ilgures showing the large increase of
shipments from England to the conti
nent. Nevertheless, the British em
bassy denies the charge. It is almost
unthinkable that England, at a time
when the friendship of the United
States is so important to her, should
ike this course.

AFTER THE WAR.
(Commerce Reports.)
At the close of the present European
war all the nations now engaged In that
‘truggle will need immediately and in
'arge quantities articles wholly and
partly manufactured, as well as raw
-naterials. While this demand may
'ax the productive resources of all
countries for a time, readiness to take
advantage of new openings will count
heavily in immediate kales as well as
Tn future trade. It is. thereore, urg
ently suggested that American pro
pers of raw materials and of manu
'actured and semi-manufactured pro
ducts should begin preparation for this
Tada.
That the fullest knowledge as to the
needs of Austria may be before the
nanufacturers of the United States, a
-eport Is in course of preparation by
'his consulate general, which, It is
'■oped, will deal with every possible
rade and contain as complete and as
accurate information as is obtainable.
NEWS FROM AMERICA.
A POSSIBLE RESULT.
- i
(Exchange.)
Speaking of the question of "dump
ing.” and of trade competition follow
ing the close of the war, the editor
of the Pittsburg Gazette-Times gives
expression to some good horse sense.
He calls attention to the fact that the
Industrial plants of Germany are un
impaired and that throughout the war
an association of German manufactur
ers and financiers has been bnsy per
fecting plans for regaining markets
after peace is restored and goes on to
say:
“But in the more recondite workings
of political and social economy there
are factors which will have important
influences in the impending fight for
markets. The poverty of Europe and
•asperity of the United States
may work to the advantage of the
former, as a competitor, and against
the latter in the struggle. For exam
ple, the hnbit of self-sacrifice imposed
even upon non-combatants of Europe
while the war is in progress, and the
tremendous burden which will follow
pence for years to come as a result of
unprecedented war debts, will make It
f asler for English, German and French
people of all classeo to consume less
and produce more. They might be
likened to an Individual who is work
ing off the mortgage on a home. He
is more economical in personal expen
ditures and more industrious In pro
duction than the individual who spends
s he earns. The prosperity of the
TTnlted States, with its rapidly increas
ing wealth, the higher wages of Its
workingmen, which make possible the
gratification of creature comforts; the
Ising scale of living, which converts
luxuries into the necessaries of life—
all these things add to the cost of
production and become a determining
factor In international trade."
18 ALBION PERFIDIOUS.
(Baltimore Sun.)
The charge that Mr. Skinner, our
consul general at London, brings
against Great Britain is not a pleasant
one. It is in effect that, while Eng
land is restricting our trade with the
neutral countries of Europe, she is ex
panding hef own trade with those
countries at our expense. We are not
(London Chronicle.)
Two years ago, when the Ohio state
'egislature was considering a sumpt
uary law, prohibiting women from
vearlng open-work blouses and trans
arent stockings, Mrs. Laura Bishop
etnliated by forming a commission of
her sex to regulate male attire. They
trew up a scheme which Included com
pulsory beards, the abolition of waist
mats and collars nnd the prevention
pf any public display of bald heads.
Naturally, this program caused con
siderable amusement, but it was gen
i rally agreed that if men were per
mitted to dictate to women in the mat
ter of fashions, women should be al
lowed to point out what they consider
hjfctionable in masculine attire. So
eventually the attempt to impose
sumptuary laws had to be abandoned.
EASY TO BE A BACK NUMBER.
(Columbus (O.) Dispatch.
One of the easiest things, these swift
moving days, is to become a back
number. A lawyer may school himself
thoroughly In the knowledge of his
profession, but if he is to win, he
must continue his study; there will be
■something for him to learn every day,
’nd then he will wish for longer days
In which to learn more. So with a
physician, especially with a specialist.
Ivory day is sure to add something to
his particular science, and he must
'■now it, if he is to lead. What is
rue of these two professions of law
and medicine is true of every profes
don and skilled employment. The
knowledge, which is all the time ac
oumulating, one must have as certain
ly ns the carpenter must have his
tools.
That is why it is so easy to become
v back number. Keeping abreast of
he knowledge peculiar to one’s occu
pation is hard work and constant work
Put the reward is abundant for the
man who thus exerts himself. Years
may come to silver his hair, but he is
it ill the master of his task, and he will
not be distanced by the newcomers
in his field of endeavor. Moreover,
his keen interest will keep him young,
his continued success will conserve his
health, and he will serve better and
live longer. Don’t by any sort of a
'etdown run the risk of becoming a
back number.
