WHAT “SEE AMERICA FIRST”
MEANS.
What the “See America First”
movement means in a solid business
sense is strikingly brought out by
a linancial authority who cannot he
accused of the enthusiasm of the
American promoter about the matter.
He is Sir George Faish, now in this
country as a representative of the
British treasury.
In an interview at Washington on
the adjustment of our foreign ex
changes, upset by the war, Sir George
figures that this country must needs
export about $900,000,000 a year, "in
gold, silver and merchandise,” in or
der to cover interest duee, expenses
of tourists in Europe, and remit
tances from immigrants to friends
and relatives.
How much of this has gone to pay
“expenses of tourists?” Estimates
run as high as $200,000,000. Say it is
only half that amount—$100,000,000 a
year.
Offing ru.M matins ntt'y
ing that amount at home. It means
(he euivalent of adding over 100,000,
000 bushels to our annual sales of
wheat abroad, or 2,000,000 bales of
cotton at $50 a bale.
It also means—a fact which should
be kept in mind—seeing things worth
seeing. hTere are things in this
country as well worth seeing as any- '
tiling it! Europe. Unfortunately, thou
sands of Americans have been going
the wrong way to find it out.
The coming year should and will
see a growth of the “See America
First” movement. The conditions are
highly favorable. For the (irst time
in history we find the home tourist
industry given a fair measure of pro
tein inn.- Chicago Herald.
DOGS IN WARFARE.
What part dogs are to play in the ,
prsent war in Europe has not yet
been developed, but the reports are
that many of the armies are using
them. Germany alone is said to have <
6,000.
In wars of the past dogs have ren
lered valuable service. Great hounds
vere used to guard the camps of
tome. In more primitive times they
vere formidable adversaries in hand
o-hand conflicts, while to come to
nore modern days Frederick the
Jreat and Napoleon held a high opin
on of the value of canine sentries.
Itecent wars have served to em
phasize the advantages which may
be gained by the use of the peculiar
jualitles of scent and hearing which
logs possess. During the Russo-Ja
panese war the whole of the Manchu
rian railway line was guarded by
Jogs that gave the alarm and on sev
eral occasions prevented the Japanese
from crossing the line. hTose which
were sent out from England with the
Abor expedition, N. W. frontier, more
than once prevented the sentries
from being rushed during night duty
owing to their keener sense of hear
ing.
In the Tripoli campaign Ilieir value
was frequently demonstrated, while
the war dogs belonging to Major
Richardson, the famouse Scottish
trainer, rendered yeoman service to
the Bulgarians at the siege of Adrian
ople, where they were able to give
warning of attempted sorties by the
Turks. Some of Major Richardson’s
well trained animals were also used
in the Spanish trenches in Morocco,
ind were responsible for the finding
pf hundreds of wounded men who
would otherwise have been left to
heir fate.
At present most of the modern
irmies employ dogs, although natural
y opinions differ as to the most suit
ible type of dog. The Russians have
idopted the Caucasian dog, Austria
Dalmatians, Turkey Asiatic sheep
logs, France and Belgium the smug
glers’ dogs of the Belgian frontier,
while Germany uses collies, pointers
ind Airedales.
So far the British army has ignor
'd the value of trained dogs, though
he admiralty some five years ago
nstituted a scheme for the use of
logs in naval stations ashore. Major
Itichardson believes that the only
eally useful war dogs are the Aire
lale, sheep dog and bloodhound. The
lative courage and instinct of the
-ollie have been spoiled because it
las been “overbred.”—Ex.
THE PATRIOTISM OF THIEVES.
A diminution of 40 per cent, in
•rime in the county of London, in
spite of the poverty and suffering
taused by the war, led Robert Wal
ace, K. C„ to tell a grand jury that
‘even thieves are showing patriot
sin in this crisis.”
The condition that the eminent and
‘xperienced chairman of sessions not
'd is not unusual. It has existed in
nany lands and many emergencies,
'rime stopped in Milan during the
‘Glorious Five Days.” Margaret Ful
er, in a short-lived Republic of Rome
tnder Mazzini and Garibaldi, describ
'd the freedom under crime and the
greater self-respect of what had been
one of the most criminal peoples of
Europe.
No better fighting was done for the
North in our civil war than by the
patriotic toughs from the slums <
New York. Paris in the revolution,
and again in the unjustly maligned
commune, was unusualy free from
ordinary crime. In both cases the
■patriotic thieves were with the army
or incorruptibly guarding public prop
erty. i
Probably not one thief In fifty is
criminal because of incurable differ
ence fro mnormal men. Modern In
vestigation has weakened the theories
of Lombroso as to innate criminal
blemishes. Why cannot some way be
devised of appealing to the patriotism
of thieves in ordinary times?—New
