Entered at the postof 1 ice In Salem, WORLD DOMINANCE IS SHIFTING. Protection has so long stimulated the diversification of Ameri. can industries through the utilization of the immense resources of the country, that with the surge forward born of urgent necessity in production of all kinds, the United States is the storehouse of the world. The more that is drawn, seemingly, the more there is to draw. . Great Britain, and the other allies, may-never fully realize, or, for that matter, know, the great debt they will owe to the United States in helping to win the war a debt that is colossal only be. cause protection has stimulated and diversified production. Had rwe been willing to remain merely an agricultural country, as our British ' friends so strenuously have urged us to remain, our aid to .the allies would have been comparatively negligible. Had we re mained exclusively- an agricultural country we would not have had the population, the productions nor the wealth that we now have had we remained an agricultural country Germany might have wrest, ed world dominion from Great Britain, in shipping- commerce and finance. ; Free trade for over half a century has dominated Great Britain, and during that time Great Britain has dominated the world. 'But is that dominance passing t And is it passing to the United States! Has our almost uninterrupted adhesion to protection fitted us for the role of dominatorf ' Senator Roche, of Halifax, in a debate in the Dominion senate opposing a bill providing for the identification of traders in Ger man goods, on the chief ground ihat "after the war Germany should bcone of the main customers of Canada," is quoted further, like J hist " ; r,The'ehd of the" war will see the outbreak of a v tremendous commercial struggle and the" United States J j . wOuUTthen control the financial and commercial world, i She has the iron and the coal and the factories to make - ' the- goods, she would have the. shipjs to carry her goods to all parts of the world, and she would be the great i; -'J center of international' finance i j . . "The United States,? under 'these circumstances, I-Av would not want Canadian goods. Nor does England longer hold out the prospect of trade preference. After ' the war she will be compelled to trade more and more with the United States. .Where, then, would Canada send her trade! Where would' she send her lumber! The "Norwegians fould outsell ; Canada in this line in France and England. Where would "she sell her flour, her wheat and bacon! When one considered these things the bill before the house must be considered chiefly nonsensical." ' Of course, one does not have to agree with Senator Roche. What he said was strenuously opposed in the Canadian senate. But there it stands, for what it is worth. Plainly, we shall have a shipping in a year or two that will eclipse that of any other nation perhaps that of all other nations combined.

Up to that time the English governmer.t had not given much consideration to the medical department and the nurses' corps of Its armed forces. She was the angel of the battlefield, and her patriotic efforts blossomed into the Red Cross movement of to day. - t For a number of years before the war the tide of European emigration to the United States ran high, but it never reached the height of tho American bookings for Europe dur ing the month of June. Secretary Baker reported to congress that more than 200.000 Americin Liberty troops embarked for France In that month. Certainly Lafayette and the other French patriots cat tneir bread on the waters when they en listed In the struggle for America's freedom. The return after many days almost staggers belief. So hid den are the decrees of fate that not one of those early French patriots dreamed that he was fighting for the future, liberation of French soil when he drew his sword for Ameri can liberty. The bookings for Eu rope during June will probacy aver erage 10.000 a day, or 300,000 for the month. NAMING TUB IJOVS.

STRIKING THE KEYNOTE. One of the interesting announce ments made by Lloyd George In his Edinburgh speech was that the ap peals of certain statesmen of the central powers were politely an swered by the British government, but the response to Great Britain's answer was the roaring of German cannon. "It was not because the German and Austrian statesmen were delib erately deceiving us," said the pre mier, "but because those-diplomats did not understand how they were being used by their military chief tains." , In that statement lies the key to the whole trouble. , There are doubtless good men In. both Germany and Austria, as well as in England and the United States, who desire an honorable peace, but the Prussian military machine dots not want peace and has never want ed it. The Prussian tyrants want war. They are hungry - for blood and conquest. War and blood they shall have-r but not conquest as long as there Is left a sings nation whose stand ard Is freedom, based upon Justice. Y. M. a A. ANNIVERSARY. The Young Men's Christian Asso ciation', whose social welfare and re lief work among the American sol diers and sailors and their allies I second to that of no other organiza tion of its kind, enters upon the seventy-firth year of Us existence and usefulness, tomorrow. . The founder of the Y. M. C. A. was Sir George Williams, an Eng lishman, who died In London In 1105. In his 85th year. Mr. Williams became a Christian in 1837, the year of the coronation of Queen Victoria, who knighted him in 1894. In 1841 he left bis home in one of the pro vincial towns and went to London; there he became a junior clerk In a large dry goods establishment. Here he found, about 80 fellow clerks, very few of whom were professing Christians. At a conference among a few of the Christian young men In the establishment, they decided to call a conference of all the Christian young men in the house for June 6. 1844,' to consider the practicability of establishing the work on a. firmer basis.' It was decided to organize the "Young Men's Christian Associa tion, the object of which was stated to be "to Improve the spiritual con dition of young men engaged In the drapery and other trades." Mr. Williams lived to see the movement he had organised spread over a large part of the' world. In Europe and America. .. In . Australia and Africa, and In the cities of far- off India, . China, Japan and other lands are now to be found branches of the Y. M. C. A., actively engaged in spiritual, missionary, educational and social welfare work. The growth of the movement In North America has been even more marvelous than In the British Isles, where It -was given birth. The In ternational committee, which main tains headquarters In New York, has general, supervision of more than 2000 fully organized branches throughout the United States and Canada. . When America entered the war In the early part of last year the Y. M. C. A' called for S3.000.000 to launch ts program of social service work among the enlisted men. The dona tion of $5,000,000 was the public re sponse to this appeal. With this fund at Its command the association immediately set about the building and equipping of "huts" or associa tion club houses for the comfort and service of the men in the different army corps and cantonments and at the naval stations. The rapid increase In the size of the nation's military establishment and the sending of the troops abroad called for a proportional increase in the activities of the association. The success of the Y. M. C. A. work among the American. Canadian and British troops led to an appeal to the organization.; to duplicate its service among the armies of France Ita:y and Russia. ' To meet the demands for Its serv ices and to carry on Its work in a systematic manner the Y. M. C. A. decided upon the organisation of a national War Work Council. The organization of this council was com pleted 'last fall. In November It Is sued an appeal to the public for 833, 000.000 with which to carry on Its work. The response to this appeal. $30,000,000 from over 2,000.000 persons, was far more generous than was anticipated. On account of the great demands upon the organization. In the war swept countries, and especially upon the western front In France, where j hundreds of Its huts and other buildings have fallen Into the hands! of the Germans In their recent drives the next war work drive of the Y. M. C. A., this fall, will be for a hundred million dollars. GLANCES BACKWARD. At the commencement of the war with Mexico the whole number of American troops of the line was 7244. The first gun ever rifled In, Amer ica was done at the celebrated Albcr iron foundry In South Boston, in 1834. On the eve of the beginning of the second war with Great Britain, the entire regular army of the United States consisted of 6744 men. ex clusive of the staff. The Enfield rifle, long the stand ard weapon of the British army, was transplanted to England by a son of Vermont, under whose superintend ence the arms were made. When hostilities began with Great Britain in 1812. there were but 65 West Point graduates in the United States service, and the few regulars had scarce ever seen a battlefield. During the Revolution, having but few educated officers, America was very frequently dependent upon Eu ropean soldiers of fortune, who were eagerly employed with high rank and extravagant pay. The first muskets ever manufac tured In 1 America are believed to have been five hundred stand of arms made by Hugh Orr, a gunsmith of Bridgewater, for the province of Massachusetts Bay, about the year 1748. .. - . The provincial congress of New York, at the commencement oi the Revolution, offered premiums of $500, $375 and $250. for the first three powder mills, capable of mak ing 1000 pounds per week, erected In the state. The earliest reference to the man ufacture of gunpowder in America is found In an order of the general court of Massachusetts, dated Juni 6, 1639, when Edward Rawson was granted 500 acres of land, "so as he goes on with the powder. If the salt petre comes." One of the most useful men of tho American Revolution was General Tmomas Mifflin, who served as quar-termatfter-general t the siege of Boston, and when barely 30 years cf age was appointed a brigadier-general and placed In charge of tho construction of the works at ' Fort Washington and Kingsbrldge. In the war with Mexico the United States army. In less than a year and a half, though opposed to a quad ruple force of the enemy, won thirty victories, captured 40.000 soldiers, carried ten fortified places, Includ ing the capital of the enemy, and ex tended Its conquests over the im mense territory of Mexico and Cali fornia. . Although there were no Y. M. C. A. or similar social welfare agencies at work during the American Revolu tion, the commanding officers of that period were not unmindful of the advantages to be gained by provid ing wholesome recreation for the sol diers and protecting, their morals. In his Instructions to his officers. Washington said: "Let vice and m morality of every kind be discour aged as much as possible; and, as a chaplain is allowed to each regi ment, see that the men regularly at tend divine worship. Gaming of ev ery kind is expressly forbidden, as being the foundation of evil, and the cause of many a brave and gallant officer's ruin. Games of exercise for amusement may not only be permit ted, but encouraged." Accompanied by her husband as far as Portland. Mrs. O. A.

Dicky stood just Inside the door of the living room, holding an Immense parcel ' carefully wrapped. his nat was on tne back of bis head, his eyes shining, his whole face arlow with boriih mlrhlf. "It's for yon my first housekeep ing present, mat is neeaea in every well regulated family," he burles qued boastfully, "but you are not to see It until we have something to eat. and you have guessed what it la." I know It is something lovely, dear," I replied sedately, "but come to your dinner. It is getting cold." Dicky looked a trifle hurt as he followed me to the dining room. I knew what he expected enthusias tic curiosity and a demand for the Immediate opening of the parcel. 1 can Imagine the pretty enthusiasm, the caresses with which almost any other woman would have greeted a bridegroom of two weeks with his first present. But It Is simply impossible for me to gush. I cannot express emotion of any kind with the facility of mot women. I- worshipped my mother, but I rarely kissed her or expressed my love for her In words. My lov for Dicky terrifies .me sometimes, it is so strong, but I cannot go up tn him and offer him an unsolicited k ! or caress. Respond to his caresses, yes; but offer them of m own voiuion. never: There Is something inside me that makes It an absolute impossibility. "What's the menu. Madze? Th beef again?"
