From The World Today. I 11 I Blew York's Americanism. And Yet Diversity of Blood Has Always Been its - - Dominant' Characteriatic. By Brander Matthews. (HERE are those among us who are not satisfied with this setting up of barriers against the unfit, and who see a menace to Ameri can standards in the admission even of the physically fit, If they come from alien v stocks. ... There are those and they are noi a few who would keep out the "men from the Volga and the Tar tar steppes" 'and all "bringing with them unknown gods and rites." Willing enough still to welcome Teuton and even cen, they see peril to our citizenship in granting it to Slav and to Scythian, with Higer passions, here tostretch their claws." They look askant at New York, with its immense masses of imperfectly assimilated foreigners, with its Little Italy, with its mysterious Chinatown, with its Syrian quarter, with its half-million of Russian Jews. They ask themselves whether the metropolis of the United States can any longer be considered "an American city. ; To this last question the answer is easy. New York is quite as American today as it ever has" been in any of ,its three centuries. Diversity of blood has always been its dominant characteristic. As one of its historians has tersely asserted, "no sooner has one set of varying Elements been fused together than another stream has been l?oured into the crucible. There , probably has been no period in the city's growth during which New Yorkers whose parents were born in New York formed the majority of the population; and there never has been a time when the bulk of the citizens were of Enelish blood." From The Century . . Mot Move Out Armiex .... . 1 . , '. . , . -. '. By Leslie- M. Shaw, Ex-Secrptary . I of the Treasury, . ET it be understood that he who invests money in railroad extension or in railroad equipment shall be as safe and as. secure from the reckless ambition of the manipulator on the one hand, and from the reckless ambition of the demagogue on the other, as is the man' who invests in farm lands or factories. Let it be the de clared policy of the American people, toward the American people that there shall be accorded to each and to all the greatest measure of discretion as to the nature and" character of the investment he' shall make,, and that each and all shall have right to share liberally in the great volume of unearned wealth which we, the American peo ple, possess. American is plethoric in everything. Our circulation is con gested. In other words, our transportation facilities are far. below our needs. Meantime locomotive works and tar factories are running twenty-four hours a day And all this notwithstanding some of our great transcontinental lines . do not possess sufficient side traces to hold their present equipment or. cars; We .are now a3 much in need of double-tracking our transcontinental lines of railroad as we' were originally in need of these lines. The combined railroads could not transport an army with necessary supplies to the Pacific coast in six months. Our salvation lies in the act that no such army will be needed.

Opportunities in Civil Ufa Havs Drawn Thousands From Army Commissions Not Takon--Graduates- of Technical Schools Ignore Proffer of Second Lieutenancies-Many Vacancies. ' Washington, D. C Tho coast defenses of the United State3 ars facing the most serious condition of recent years- Reports received by the War Department show that with an. authorised force pf 19,321 men the Coast Artillery, on October 15 was able to muster only'9628. Ten thousand re cruits are needed to fill the ranksand the question is where to get them. An official report prepared last year 'in connection with the Aritllery Increase bill showed that the actual strength of the Coast Artillery was 11,450 on October 15, 1906. Congress passed a bill authorizing the addi tion of 5000 men, but not only have the officials of the army failed to get these extra men, but they have lost 2000 of those they had. , ' Every month reports are received of men quitting the Coast Artillery to accept more lucrative places. In civil life. Men of five", ten, fifteen years service privates, sergeants, first sergeants, non-commissioned staff officers are leaving by the hundreds. Their electrical and mechanical training In the Coast Artljlejy especially fit them for ood jobs In civil life. y , . Common civilian laborers at military poets are making more money than the highest ; grade technical . non-commissioned officers under whom they are employed. - Teamsters, plumbers, ? firemen, engineers and. elec tricians get rations, quarters, fuel, medical attention, etc., practically all of the allowances of soldiers except uniforms, and in addition they get from $45 to $125 a 'month for eight hours' work a day. v ' ' Soldiers performing; the same duties at the same posts get from one third to one-half of the corresponding pay, are subject to all tho rigors of military discipline, and are' frequently on dut all day and all night. More remarkable is the diflculty of getting officers. For the first time in the history or the army vacancies in the prade of second lieutenant are going begging. The artillery., bill 0 last year authorized the appointment in the Coast Artillery each Tear for five years of sixty, second' lieutenants. The appointments were to be made: First, from graduates of West Point; second, from qualified enlisted men, and. third, from civil life grad uate of technical colleges and schools. Invitations wero sent to the presi dents of 125 of the principal technical schools and colleges requesting them to send in tho names of graduates who desired to be appointed. In stz months no names have been, submitted. Eighty-five vacancies in the grade of second lieutenant of Coast Artillery exist to-day, ' . : : flhe Future of Our a 11 - .11 - By H.M. Alden. r iHE enlargement of literature, like its enrichment, must be through the truth, which discloses the real .values of our earthly existence and experience In their living terms, and which gives to common things and associations their full meaning, investing -them with their natural pathos. and with, the romance formerly associtted mainly with .what was alien and remote. A new and higher kind of curiosity has been awakened and developed which the stories of old travelers like Marco Polo could not satisfy a curiosity concerning inti mate things.; Our perspective Is changed, diminishing the enchantments due to distance, as. the microscone has outmatched tha telescone in tha revelation of the wonderful. . ' Any solicitude, therefore, which we may feel as to the Immediate future of literature is not whether writers for .the new generation will do the thlnjrs which once seemed great, but whether they will still further widen the .range of the human imagination in the field of reality. It is in that way that their larger appeal must be won. . That indefinable distinction which" genius alone can give to literature, even in truth's plain air, is not precalculable. .. Present -conditions certainly ' do not justify any discouraging forecast. Harper's. Olive Oil Oil Go tion eeci J3y Iwlaj. Jolin M. Carson. Chief of the Government Bureau of Manufacturers. HE cotton-seed industry presents greater attractions and offers greater possibilities in the Immediate future for enlargement, in foreign markets than many others of our principal industries If irwere more generally known In the United States, that the best cotton-seed oil is equal In purity and heaithfulness to olive oil, the del mand for cotton oil at home woujd expand to' si point that would - seriously interfere ? with the profits of those manufacturers of olive oil in France,-Italy' and 'Spain who find cotton oil so profitable in . the con duct of their business. Our manufacturers of cotton oil migt profitably direct their efforts to bringing the product to the attention of the American people. If our own people were made familiar with the real qualities, of cotton-seed :oiL ery much of the olive oil now imported would btv permanently displaced, and very much of the animal fats now so extensively used in the preparation of food would be expelled from American kitchens. . r ' Perils In London. ; ; !

Admiral. Germlnet, the newly appointed commaidcr of the Mediterranean squadron, totally disagrees with the naval experts cf. England America and other" countries who advocate tho heaviest battleships and the neaviest guns as most serviceablo in future 'naval warfare. He ar gues for not larger ships and bigger guns, but smaller, fleeter vessels capa ble of '. great mobility and armed with guns of smaller calibre, capable 'of more rapid fire. This, he contends, is the real lesebn of the Russo-Jap c nam , war. The English admiralty, he says, buiit. the Dreadnought on , a mto- prehension of the reasons of the Japanese successes. .. . .. r i ; "Before obtaining complete information," says the Admiral, "the Eng lish attributed the Russian disaster, tc. Togo's tactics and the, big guns wita which his ships were armed. It was not true. I have recently obtained the proof from official documents. " I do not question Togo's ability. I say only that the big artillery did not produce the effect expected. At the beginning the Japanese used projectiles loaded 'with a comparatively small' quantity of explosive. They soon realized their mistake an$ commenced the manu facture of shells capable of holding, an enormous amount of explosive. "All their .Bhips carried that ammunition at the battle of Tsushima. ,;To' that they owe their victory. ... The projectiles exploding on contact gave off a pro digious "amount of heat, which melted. the hardest steel and produced a vol ume of gase3 which asphyxiated all who breathed IU- -The 'gases, penetrated the Interior Of the Russian ships and suffocated men even in the hold, "In the reports from which I obtained this information a case is . cited where the ammunition hoist suddenly ceased working. ;Upon examination. It was fonnd Intact, but every- man at the bottom of tne hoist was dead. "Without a visible wound; In other words, asphyxiated. Upon the same ship the electricity suddenly went out. The fires were found uninjured, but th idyhamo crew was. dead, suffocated to a man. Projectiles exploding against the ship's armor outside. had. introduced gases vihieh put two biff guns.oftt of action and plunged the ship in darkness. It 'was not that the Japanese, shooting was marvelous. It was good.- , But the efficacy, of the projectiles,' nany of which, by the way, exploded In their flight, . was the real secret ot the Japanese victory." .... " - . " . - Profiting by this experience. Admiral Germlnet contends that the French navy should arm the ships with a good gun capable of firing Bhella carrying the maximum quantity of explosive. The .3 05-millimetre gun of the Ifreadnough.t class, he says, cannot do this, as the pressure of the dis charging load would create top much danger of firing. the explosive.? .
