WHAT IS “NORMAL TRADE?”
The Austro-Hungarian government, having failed in the
scheme of its ambassador to tie up our factories by strikes and
riots, now renews its protest against the sale of arms and muni
tions to such nations as arc in position to receive them. They say
they would not object to a “normal” trade in military supplies,
but do object to the sale of “abnormal” quantities.
What is a "normal” trade in arms and munitions? If this
means that we can sell only what we would find a market for in
lime of peace then we can sell only when there is no market.
It means that we cannot help out the unprepared nation sud
denly attacked, nor buy in “abnormal” quantities when we arc sud
denly attacked.
Secretary Lansing will hardly feel called upon to reply to
this.
The "normal" sale of tlk'se things is the sale of enough to sup
ply the market when there is a market—in war times.
In the meantime the central empires keep on offering fancy
prices for cotton to be I tough t in America. And cotton is the most
important ammunition in the war. For every company of .'100 men
in the Germanic armies there is an ammunition train carrying
three bales of cotton in the form of gun cotton; and three di:
charges of one of those 42-centimeter howitzers takes a bale
cotton.
Cotton is as much ammunition as nitro-glycerine.
Germany now contemplates a drive on Egype for the purpose
principally, of obtaining Egyptian cotton with which to make ni
tro-cellulose—which is gun cotton. In other words the Germanic
empires are making bids for ammunition, and kicking because we
are selling ammunition to her foes—which is all right if she can
make us fall for it.
From His Cell He]

The Mother's Voice
Johnny Johnson, in Athens Jail,
Writes a Second Letter to The
Herald Full of Advice For
Young Boys.
- Our friend, Johnny Johnson, whose
letter we printed in The Herald a day
or two ago, writes another letter to
■is which is full of philosophy and
good advice.
In his cell, awaiting trial, Johnny
has much time for reflection and these
thoughts which he has he expresses
rather well in a letter. Of course hi-
spelling isn’t correct hut the thought
is there and Johnny seems to have his
heart behind it so it is all right.
His second letter to tt.s we print be
low:
of
WESTERN MONEY CAN’T HE SWUNG OPE HAND BY NEW
YORK ANY LONGER.
“New York will he the financial metropolis of the world after
this war!” exultantly cries the eastern hanker.
Perhaps so, hut we move as n substitute for the foregoing
“The United States will be the financial center of the world after
■ the war.”
The west isn’t going to allow New York to handle its money
at pleasure as was the practice in the good old days. The west is
going to sit in at the directors’ table. If New York wants to do
big things with the nation’s money the west will expect to be con
suited about it and have a big, strong voice in it. in fact, they
have already discovered in New York that this is a new western
attitude, as witness Lord Reading’s visit to Chicago “to confer
with financial leaders in western centers” on thnt billion dollar
loan to the allies. _ *
, Lord Reading nnd the English nnd French colleagues came
over to Gotham expecting to do their business in the big city anti
presently sail triumphantly home. But things didn’t seem to run
exactly right. Now it transpires that if Reading and his fellows
nre to get a billion, or even half a billion, they must fix it up with
the “western financial leaders.”
'The west is progressive and awake. New York won’t swing
it any more.
ARE YOU CARELESS WITH YOUR MAIL? *
The Germans say that as a people we arc mighty careless, not
to say reckless, and every once in a while something happens to
prove their charge. -
The postmaster of Chicago has just issued a statement that
43 per cent of the mail handled in the Chicago postoffice is im
properly addressed. Get that? Nearly half of the millions of
pieces of mail deposited every day. And the cost to the Chicago
pbstoffice of looking up addresses and correcting mistakes is
$>85,000 a month.
Of course this condition isn’t peculiar to the Chicago post-
office. It exists in the Athens postoffice also, but perhaps not
so> seriously.
Do you always stamp your envelope?
Do you always write down the correct name of the city?
Do you wirtc the street address legibly?
Don’t be careless with wour mail!
