First Blow of Reaction Has Acted
as Tonic, Forcing Nation to
Create New Branches and En
large Trade Scope.
Articles Formerly Coming En
tirely From Europe Now Being
Made in United States—New
Plants by Hundreds.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-—I-low‘
every phase of American industry has‘
been benefited by the world war was.
outlined in an official statement. by
the Department of Commerce tore-!
casting the effect of the conflict on
the industrial future of the country.
“The blow in the face received by |
American industries through condi
tions brought about by the European
war has acted as a tonic, has torcedi
the nation to create new branches
and enlarge the scope of existing
phases of manufacture, opened the
way to utilize, on a vast scale mat‘
natural resources of the United
States, and induced manufacturers
and merchants to expand their mar
kets into foreign fields with pros
pects of permanent results,” says the
statement.
“American ingenuity has been ap
plied with suecess to the making of
articles previously imported, and
among those who have shown con
spicuous abiMty in meeting the situa
tion, an important place is given to
Thomas A. Edison, America's scien
tific wizard,’ who bhas had a great
part in the enterprise and initiative
required to build, at a moment's no
tice, some of the new American man
ufactures required by the emergency.
Many New Plants.
“A review of the chief industries
ministering particularly to the tem
porary needs of the belligerents
across the Atlantic shows that the
final outcome will be a very material
addition to the manufacturing plants
of the United States, Part of this
plant will be simply anticipatory of
the normal growth of the country's
mechanical equipment; part must lie
idle in time of peace, but is a distinet
asset in the national preparation for
an adequate defense agalnst attack,
the remainder furnishes at once prod
ucts needed in the healthy expansion
of the chemical industry of the coun
try.
“lLess conspicuous and spectacular,
but of far greater permanent value, is
the impulse given to the manufac
ture on American soil, with American
raw materials, of a variety of arti
cles for which we have hitherto been
dependent upon foreign skill and en
terprise. In a more or less uncom
fortable way we have suddenly been
brought to recognize the unwisdom,
the folly, of shipping vast amounts of
the crude material of our farms, for
ests and mines 3,000 mies across the
occan and buying it back in a manu
factured form at a vastly enhanced
price.
“We have likewise gcome to recog
nize the absurdity of allowing many
natural products of the tropies, of
South America, of the Far East, to
find their way to Kurope and of pay
ing foreign intelligence and skill to
transform them into articles of daily
need in our lives. ’
“American ingenuity, "yinpunlnn.
inventive talent, scientific attain
ments and general enterprise have
promptly rallied to meet widespread
demands and establish on our own
soil the permanent manufacture of a
number of wares, some of minor,
others of major importance. The re
turn of rfl}vo will see them well root -
ed and ablé to withstand forelgn com
petition,
Using American Potash,
“In the future natural dyestuffs
wlil occupy a more important posi
tion in the textile world, and a more
ample recognition will be accorded to
the highly perfected processes of re
cent years, ensiing theip fastness
upon the animal and vegetable fibers,
At the same time we can look for
ward with confidence to the evolution
of a genuine American coal tar color
industry.
“Of the domestic potash supply it
is stated that large amounts of the
compounds of this element are pres
ent in the vast beds of kelp floating
on the waves of the Pacific, close to
the western littoral of the country;
that each year the waters of the Pa
cific Coast are producing a crop in
which potash salts possessing a nor
mal value of more than $980,000,000
are readily available for use In agri
culture and the arts Now, a dozen
companies are engaged in the cam
palgn. Not only the inexhaustible
supplies in the waters of the Pacific,
but also the remarkable deposits in
the arid waste about Searles Lake in
California, and the valuable alunite
of Utah are being rapldly trans
formed into standard commercial
grades. A yeay or two hence we may
be able to fertilize our broad nseres
with Americean potash exclusively,
while another vear or two may ses us

Whole Village Until Bath
Robes Are Supplied.
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—That thdnxs“
may exist at Ostend which will never
do for Helmetta, N. J.,, was shown
when two young women walked
through that town and left nobody
home in it. |
There are barely enough persons in
Helmetta to form a crowd. They were
all men.
Fortunately James Deming, who is
the marshal of Helmetta, followed the
crowd and administered the law. As
a result it is probable that village
residents may retain their interest in
their own business and firesides from
this time on.
The young women were escorted to
a shelter and allowed to proceed c¢n
their way only after bath robes had
been brought from their homes to
make everything, including the scen
ery, legal.
It seems that the persons who dwell
in Outcult, the physical culture city,
near Helmetta, have cultivated the
;habit of wearing clothing whizh
‘would in no wise interfere with a
‘hand spring. This has progressed
until, as was the case here recorded,
;one-plece bathing suits have come to
be regarded as ample attire for streét
and avenue toe and heel work.
Marshal Deming, after halting the
young women, sald that unless the
residents of Outcult made less trouble
and wore more clothes he would pros
ecute them to the fullest extent of
'the New Jersey law.
That night many of the women,
knowing the Jersey laws, were attired
in furs.

BINGHAMTON, N. Y., Sept. 18—
The Rev. W, J. Richardson, pastor of
the Baptist Church at Pleasant Val

County jail at Owego on a charge of
bigamy. The indictment charges that
eleven years ago he married Miss
Lora Carpenter; that they separated
two years later, anG that in April,
1914, he married Miss Hattie Goeh
ner without having obtained a di
vorce. Mr. Richardson admits the
second marriage, and says the only
reason he contracted it before obtain
ing a divorce was because one of the
deacons of the church, whose influ

MASTER GROOMS HIS MAN
Wealthy New Yorkers Joini
Friends of Couple, Showering |
Congratulations and Rice.
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—Just as the
organ pealed forth a joyous prelugle to
a pretty wedding ceremony in the
Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola,
Elghty-fourth street and Park avenue,
two large and dust-laden touring cars
drove up to the church door and
there alighted from them Mr. and
Mrs. Anthony J. Drexel Biddle, Jr.,
and Mr. and Mrs. Angier B. Duke. All
four entered the church and greeted
the bride and bridegroom as the Rev
Francis Powers intimated that all was
In readiness for the ceremony. |
The bride was Miss Jeanne Elise
Salles, a mald in the service of Mr.
and Mrs. Duke, and Mr. Duke’'s valet,
James Edward Smith, was the bride
groom. Mr. and Mrs. Biddle were
hardly less well known to the bride
and bridegroom than Mr. and Mrs.
Duke, and the relatives of the couple
also were agreeably surprised that the
newly arrived guests saw fit to mo
tor all the way from Atlantic City to
witness the ceremony.
Positions Reversed.
From Mr. Duke's office, No. 200
Fifth avenue, also came Alexander
‘Sands, Mr. Duke’s secretary, and sev
eral members of his office staff, sach
laden with the requisite portion of
rice and confetti with which to deluge
the newly wedded couple as they left
the church
The bride’'s sister, Miss Louise
Salles, who also is in the service of
Mr. and Mrs. Duke, and John A.
Smith, brother of the bridegroom,
were bridesmaid and best man.
As Mr. Smith was about to take his
place before the altar, Mr. Duke smil
ingly reversed his own position in re
lation to his valet and saw to it that
the bridegroom was in readiness.
When the ceremony was commenced
Mr. and Mrs. Duke took their places
behihd the couple from “below stairs,”
as also did Mr. and Mrs. Biddle.
Showered With Rice.
Congratulations followed, and Mr.
and Mrs. Smith took leave of the
whole party and disappeared in a
shower of rice and confetti toward
where a motor car was in waiting.
They were taken toward the Grand
Central Station, while the four lately
arrived guests returned to Atlantic
City. :
It is but a few months since the
four figured prominently in two
“above stairs” weddings, at which the
bride and bridegroom were present,
though not as guests. An interfamily
romance of the Biddles and the Dukes
brou'm about the marriage on April
28 of Miss Cornelia Drexel Biddle to
Angler B. Duke at Philadelphia. Less
than two months later Miss Mary L.
Duke, sister of Mr. Duke, was mar

One of the ablest books yet written on “The United

lished by the Athenacum Press of London and New York.
The real author is believed to be Mr, George Bernheimer,
of No. 1 Astor Court, New York.
He has® presented with striking terseness and ac
curacy some of the glaring deficiencies in the army and
navy—deficiencies which Congress, at its nert sesgion, is
erpected to remedy. Portions of this work are given
below.
EVER In the history of the world has the spirit
N of strife been abroad as it is to-day.
N All Europe is ablaze; civil war rages in Mex
fco; a sword of Damocles hangs perilously suspended
above the Balkans, ready to drop and sever their
cobweb of peace.
Italy, fully armed, cast her lot with the stronger
of Europe's contending factions as soon as she seemed
sure of the fortunes of war.
Holland and Switzerland are armed to repel aggres-|
slons which seem inevitable in this battle of the giants.
Norway, Sweden, Denmark have armed and allied
to defend to the last their mutual interests.
. Africa is In arms. Revolt in India is imminently
possible.
Turkey and the Moslem world are in the throes of
their death fight.
Japan, not content with participating In the cancer
lous European conflict, must needs selze this opportunity
when the civilized countries of the white world have
thrown off their mantle of Christlan restraint and seek
to solidify the Orient into a real and tangible “Yellow
Peril.” For under the guidance of Japan's cleverness
and ambitions China's wealth and millions are.a power
to be reckoned with.
The Duties of This Country.
We, the citizens of the greatest civilized power, have
two duties plainly before us. First, the duty to our
selves, our homes, our country and our sovereignty.
Second, and higher still, a duty to the white peoples
of the world,
Engaged in internecine war, blinded by petty hates,
passions and commercial jealousies, the Caucasian race
does not see the menace that impends.
Fully occupied with their European wars, England,
France and (Germany are not capable of offering real
resistance to Japanese aggression.
Exhausted by these same European wars, England,
France and Germany will not be able to offer real
resistance to Japanese aggression.
It remains for us alone to police the white world,
to protect It, while our blood-brothers fight among
themselves. It is will remaln for us alone to reorgan
ize the white world into a unit capable of defending
itself after the frenzy of oar people across the seas

their wounds,

with England or Germany. It 1s not enough to remain
firm in the righteous belief that the insults to our com
merce and our flag, offered allke by Germany and
Britain, must be amicably settled. i
It is not enough to turn the other cheek to Germany
and to England, and to wait until their passions cool
before demanding the redress and the satisfaction for
the loss of Iwes and property suffered at the hands
of Powers professing friendship which is ‘our due. It
Is not enough to rest content in our “splendid isolation,”
in our ability to exist without foreign commerce.
We must arm and make ready to defend ourselves
against possible contingencies arising from a bloody
European victor carried away by the god of war and
for the moment irresistible. We must arm and make
ready to defend ourselves against a chagrined people,
‘defeated, but not broken—filled with a dull resentment
‘against our clumsy neutrality,
But, most important of all, we must arm and make
ready to defend ourselves against the threatening East
ern hosts,
Our Future and England.
In the present inflamed state of mind of the world
every combatant nation would long hesitate before too
seriously incurring our displeasure. But, in the light
of an ultimate British victory, let us examine the pos
sibilities of the situation. -
England, “Perfidious Albion,” has ever used her in
sidious diplomacy to the destruction of her commercial
rivals. In combination with Russia, Prussia and Aus
tria she crushed France at the height of her power.
In the war of the Crimea she turned against her former
ally, and In conjunction with France and Turkey broke
down the dawning power of Russia. Now, to complete
the cycle, she combines with Russia and France to
crush Prussia (Germany), Austria and Turkey. .
England, never a true friend, never our friend, will
surely grow jealous of our coming commercial pros
perity. And, lest that prosperity become supremacy,
she might not hesitate to ald and abet with money and
necessities of war her ally, our logical enemy, J"‘.
England has an offensive and defensive alliance "
Japan, in accordance with the terms of which Japan
already done an appreciable amount as England's :
In the present struggle, and has volunteered to M
and maintain a quarter of a milllon men in Europe, #f
the Allies so desire, -
The combined English and Japanese navies have l&
most four times the atrength of ours in GMM
and superdreadnoughts. In scout, patrol and aeroplane
strength the disparity greatens immeasurably,. We h“'
only twelve naval aeroplanes. To cope with Gflw
Great Britaln must have at least a hundred.
Germany’s commerce has been swept from the seas,
yet her coasts have been saved by three factors which
we lack-limited extent, Kiel Canal, submarines. We
can not limit the extent of our coasts, fifty times great
er in extent than Germany’s; a canal similar to the one
at Kiel would serve no purpose, but we can build sub
marines,
A War Against England and Japan.
Forget the Philippines, which we should but can not
protect; forget the Hawallan Islands, Samoan and
Porto Rico, our sole insular possessions: forget Alaska
with its wealth of natural resources; forget the Panama
Canal, which does not begin to have the fortifications
of the Dardanelles, and with which we have no direct
lines of communication; sacrifice all these m
possessions on the altar of the goddess of disarmament,
but remember our seaports, our coasts and our country,
In the event of a war with England and Japan “fi‘j
bined let us pleture our position. Troops pouring trom
Canada Into Alaska, occupying Alaska; fortifying ”
Canadian boundary agalnst us. A mere ten army flflfi‘
sent over, veterans from the European struggle,
more than cope with all our immediate Mfi
tia as well as regulars. These British units could ene
gare all our forces while a single Canadian -i
luvaded and conquered Algska without opposition. S
