RESPECT FOR THE FLAG.
Respect and reverence for tin* Flag i- something which i
constantly is preached hut seldom practiced hy the American
I icople.
Kveiy man with red Mood in his veins will fight instantly
to protect his flag from insult, yet those same men will pa
the Flag hy with indifference on every other occasion.
duncan longshoremen last week furnished a dignified hut
ignificant example of the respect due the American flag. A
Canadian vessel came into port without flying the Stars and
Stripes from her forepeak.
The group of longshoremen on the dock was quick to no j
lice the omission, which was the result of somebody’s careless-j
. Nothing was said, hut the word was passed among the
men for none of them to take the heaving lines when they werej
cast ashore.
The vessel came alongside the dock, the lines were east to
the dock, hut no move was made hy the men to grab them, and i
they slid hack into the water. Again the lines were thrown on,
1 he dock with the same result. The captain of the vessel, angry
at the action of the men, demanded the reason for not taking
his lines. He was told. The flag was raised and the boat
docked without trouble.
Not much, you will say. True, not much. Hut it showsi!
that these men, awaiting on the dock to unload a foreign ves |
set, were quick to notice that the flag they love was not uu
furled. It was only the result of carelessness, hut to them it ;
meant that proper respect was not given the Stars and Stripes,
and until that was remedied, they meant to see that the vessel
did not land.
That captain never again will come into an American port j
without flying the flag. lie has been taught his lesson. No
doubt h lias made hundreds of American ports in the pas!
it limit flying the Stars and' Stripes, and had grown cnreles
and it remained for the longshoremen of Juneau to remind him
ot the courtesies due from him.
It is not enough to fight for the flag in time ot trouble. It
is not enough to cheer when the flag is flashed on the movie
•reen or produly carried across the stage hy some melodrama
hero, hut there should lie that love and respect tor the I lag in
everv heart, so that it never can he passed without a quickening
of the pulse and a glow of pride in the country which it rep
resents.
It was not the flag of which those Juneau longshoremen
were thinking. To them the flag stands for the greatest, the
grandest and most maanifieent country on earth, and as such
m entitled to every little courtesy recognized hy international
usage. The manner in which the rebuke was administered was
both dignified and effective, and one that must have earned
the respect of the Canadian master.
We take our hats off to the Juneau longshoremen.

INCREASE IN OUR FOREIGN TRADE.
The enormous increase in our foreign trade is generally
supposed to he largely due to the exportation of munitions of
war. According to figures compiled by Dr. Edward Ewing
Pratt, chief of the bureau of foreign and' domestic commerce,
department of commerce, at Washington, this is not so. Our
foreign trade in 1915 amounted to $5,333,000,000, as compared
with a total in 1913 of $4,277,(XX),000. At the present rate our
foreign trade for the fiscal year ending July 1, 1916, will
amount to $6,300,(XX),000. Of these rather incomprehensible
figures, the increase in the exports of munitions has actually
been less than the increase in the amount of secondary was sup
plies exported or the items that have no direct relation what
ever to the war. The largest increase in exports has occurred
m the groups which might be called “secondary war supplies”
and those articles which have no direct connection with the
war. The smallest increase in actual amount has taken place
in the direct munitions of war.
The increase in exportations of munitions of war to the
belligerent countries for six months ended December 31, 191.),j
was approximately $153,000,000; the increase in exports of
secondary war supplies to belligerent countries for the same:
period was approximately $195,000,000; while the increase of
exportations which have no direct relation to the activities ol ;
belligerent nations, and of all other products to belligerent and
neutral nations amounted to approximately $188,000,000.
However, since the British quartermaster list is said to
contain 50,000 different items it is more than probable that
most, if not all, of the products listed as having no direct rela
tion to war have such relation. The view points of a British
quartermaster and a United States bureau official are quite
different.

Although shot s are a part of the landscape now as never
before, a United States commerce report shows there were
fewer women’s shoes made from 1969 to 1915 than in the five
years preceding.

“The Schweizerische Nachweisbureau fur Bezug und Ab
satz von VVaren announces,” says the same report, and it isn’t
a new cheese, either.
