DEFENSE WORTH PAYING FOR.
No class of men in the United
States have been harder hit by the
increased cost of living: than the
officers and men of the navy and
the regulai army, says the New
York World. And though we are
not yet at peace, there is no inter
est more neglected by Congress than
that of these defenders.
Whatever attractions the regular
services may offer enlisted men, in
health, travel, education, chance of
promotion, they must compete with
civil employments that now pay
higher wages than ever before. The
case of the officers is in one way
more critical, since they have de
voted years to professional educa
tion, are married or at an age when
they should marry, and ought, for
the country’s good, to stay long in
the service. Yet, unless they have
private means, how- can they, with
the present scale of pay?
Congress shows a willingness to
coquet with a proposal to bond the
country for from two billion to five
billion dollars to pay a bonus to
men of the A. E. R, because that
is supposed to mean a great many
votes. It is treating the question
of army and navy pay by the fa
miliar flimflam of an elaborate game
of cross-purposes between the house
and the senate.
If in a world so lately at war and
not yet settled down to peaceful
ways defense is worth having, it is
worth paying for. Army and navy
officers cannot be improvised, and
they cannot remain in the service
unless they receive a living wage.
LAND OF PROMISE.
Paraguay is a lam! of wonderful
opportunity for .Nort'ir Americans,
says \Y. L. Schurz. United States
trade commissioner, who has just
completed a seven months’ investi
gation of its resources. Ten million
dollars in American money has thus
far been invested in the Jittie re
public, but, in the opinion of Mr.
Schurz, millions more of American
capital would find a profitable re
turn there.
Nearly the size of the state of
Missouri and with less than one
million inhabitants, Paraguay ha?
untouched resources of amazing va
riety and possibilities, Mr. Schurz
told a correspondent of The Associ
ated Press.
“Over half the country is for
ested with the finest hard woods ir
the world,” he said. “Its soil and
climate are capable of raising any
thing under the sun, including wheal
and bananas. Experiments have
proved that more cotton to the acre
can be raised on Paraguayan soi
than on any other soil where cottor
is cultivated at present. It is gooc
for tobacco and sugar, it is gooc
for anything.
“Oranges in Paraguay grow wild
You would not believe that onl;
one out of every 100 oranges pro
duced in Paraguay ever is eaiten
But it is so. Billions of organge
lie on the ground and rot.
“There are deposits of manganes
and iron of unknown extent tha
have not been worked since th
Paraguayan war ended in 1870. It
! is waiting for a railroad to be built
I to it. There is also copper,
j “The American investments in
Paraguay at present are in cattle,
j meat packing plants and quebracho.
J There are less than 100 Americans
I in the whole country. They are
popular with the natives, who think
| a lot of the United States.”

HUGE WHALE PROVIDES
DOG-FEED FOR TELLER
i Oscar Crookstad, a well-known
j oldtimer of the Seward peninsula
| country', reported upon arrival at
Nome recently that tons of frozen
i whale meat taken from the carcass
I of one of those nuge sea mammals
i found near Cape Douglas was being
hauled to Teller and other points
along the West coast for use as dog
feed, of which there is a great
i scarcity at present. According to
! Crookstad, the whale was of huge
| size, measuring about 75 feet in
length, and frozen so solidly that
frozen chips of the meat flew in all
i directions when axes were used in
1 chopping the carcass into pieces.
iThe whale was found some time
■after the ice came in, and evidently
had drifted ashore with the slush
. _
ice. When found, the huge body
'was entirely intrusted with a thick
.coating of ice. The meat was in an
excellent state of preservation and
made excellent dog feed.
KETCHIKAN MAN WILL
MAKE TRAPPING EASY
A recent mail from the East
brought to E, A. Teeter, a well
known oliitimer of Ketchikan, an
|offer from the Hudson Bav com
pany to purchase the Canadian pat
ient rights to a clamp for big game
|traps which he invented during his
'spare hours spent as a lighthouse
keeper in some of the outlying dis
tricts of Alaska. The company ex
pressed the opinion that it will be a
very serviceable and practical de
vice, removing much of the labor
inow required in setting traps, which
'in cold weather is a hardship.
For months, Mr. Teeter has been
; trying to make arrangements for
Jthe manufacture of the clamps in
'sufficient quantities to meet the de
Imand for them, and has finally suc
ceeded in finding a company in Syra
cuse, New York. He has orders al
ready for approximately 100,000 of
the clamps and has not even start
led to manufacture the^n yet. He is
!now enroute to the East to make
the final arrangements for the manu
facture.

JAPANESE UNIONS
IG BE PERMITTED
TOKIO.—Government approval of
tile organization of labor unions I
would be given for the first time j
in Japan under a new bill drawn up j
by the department of commerce for j
submission to the present session of
the diet. The government proposes,
however, to regulate, restrict and to
a certain extent otherwise control |
the operations of the unions which |
might be organized under the pro- ]
posed law. One of the regulations i
which has aroused criticism provides '
that when a union of any craft or
trade adopts a resolution that runs
counter to law or is considered to
|be detrimental to public interest or,
| fails to perform what is required of j
jit by the administrative authorities,
these authorities may cancel the res
oluton or dissolve the union.
Unions of various trades would
be permitted to form a federation
of unions only provided its rules
I and regulations were submitted and
'approved by "the proper authori
ties.”
EEeretofore, Japanese workmen
have mostly been organized in
guilds, although an Associated La
bor Union was in existence in To
|kio nearly a year ago. Supporters
I of the proposed law say the gov
lernment must take the place of the |
j old guild masters and advise and re - j
j strain the workmen until they shall j
have gained experience in the opera- j
tion of their unions.

LONDON.—England's war taxes
continue to force many of her no
bility to sell parts of their great
estates. One of the greatest of
[these which recently has passed un
der the auctioneer’s hammer is that j
of the Duke of Rutland, which is]
i I
i known as Belvoir. The duke owns j
iabout 59,000 acres, of which he is j
[selling about 13,000 acres located in
jthe best part of the Lincolnshire
I hunting district. He explained at
la public meeting that the sale was
! made necessary by the increasing
! burden of taxation resulting from
[the war.
Goadby Hall, one of the duke’s
; properties of 230 acres, was sold
' privately in advance of the public
j sale, and 100 tenants have bought
from the duke the farms he had
rented to them.
I Earl Manvers’ estate, known a?
"Holme Pierrepont,” at Ra^cliffe-on
Trent, has been sold at auction for
£42,685. It covers 320 acres.
It is reported that part of the
estate of the Earl of Londesborough,
comprising Raincliffe Woods and
Racecourse, has been bought by a
Scarborough financier.
