While the fail ure of congress to include in the budget necessary appro priations to support it, will hamper operations, -work will nevertheless proceed. The commission is clothed with inquisitorial and regu lative powers. Lts authority enables it to secure authori tative information necessary to exercise the latter. , All corporations, firms" partnerships and individuals engaged in interstate commerce (except banks and rail roads) are under the commission's jurisdiction, and must file general and special reports and keep accounts as pre scribed by the commission. It is empowered to enforce the anti-trust act, classify corporations, investigate trade con ditions in foreign lands, and to make public, at its discre tion, any facts uncovered, except trade secrets and names of customers. The supplementary anti-trust act of October 15, 1914, gives the commission additional jurisdiction. This act de clares certain practices, such as price discrimination, re bating, price fixing and other such agreements, "where the effect substantially lessens competition or tends to create monopoly," to be unlawful, and gives the commission jur isdiction to act in such cases. Besides this investigative of the commission is contained in the section ot the trade commission act dealing with "unfair methods of competi tion." The act practically gives the commission power to define "unfair methods." The commission may act either on complaint by injured parties from the outside, or on its own motion, and as a result of its investigations. Tho commission has the right to determine what con stitutes "unfair methods of competition" and to enforce its conclusion by decrees. It can determine whether a practice lessens "competition or creates a monopoly, and may order such practice discontinued. The United States courts are made final arbiters. Cor porations may appeal to the the commissions order and iroin mere to tne supreme court. The commission likewise can appeal. The commission's proceedings are similar with inter state trade corporations to thoSe of the interstate com merce commission with railroads. Tt defines the rules of business, brings into the limelight methods in vogue and polices "business-crime," but the court's ruling governs. THE EUROPEAN BLOCKADES 1 XTHAT can the United States do regarding the subma- V rinc blockade of Great retaliatory blockade of Germany by the allies? Nothing. The president will protest, of course, hoping to secure concessions favorable to neutral shipping. But that is all it will amount to. Precedent or no precedent, the blockades arc estab lished. They are legitimate war measures. If neutrals do not want their ships blown up by the Germans or seized by the allies, they must keep them out of the war zone. Neutrals have a right to sell their products to belliger ents, and the belligerents have the right to seize the ship ments to enemies. The risk of delivery should be borne by the belligerent purchasers, not by the neutral scud's. The United States during the war with the Confeder acy established a most effective blockade. It starved out the south as the allies are attempting to starve out the Germans, and the Germans to starve out the allied nations. It mav be inhumanitv, but an inhumanity we set the ex amine in practicing. In 1898 Cuba, also. The United States may on the contraband list. But nation to make cotton u contraband of war, cutting off cot ton shipments to England from the south'. England pro tested, but in vain. ' But the allies are much more considerate than the United States was. The allies offer to buy instead of con fiscating cargoes and sinking ships as the United States did, and the Germans are, doing. The United States will not go to war. Tho belliger ents arc within their rights. Even if they were not, the United States could not interfere. It is not, and it is hoped never will be prepared to make war on the world. Besides, we have our Bryan peace treaties with most of tho bcl ligerants, which provide arbitration and a year's delay in case of an international quarrel and the United States has not yet reached the German militarist viewpoint, that a ti'eaty'is a mere scrap of paper to be violated at will. The Melancholy Pelican (Hen Lumpniiin in Oitlil Hill Xqwh.) Tho pelican perched on n slippery niiiig Willi nothing to do but preen where fishes dipped mid dnneed a ml Hipped itiuid the seaweed green.

Tho pelican's breast was white us foam and fihone like a distant hail; alio counted tho grertt flight feather all, and answer ed tlio curlew's wail. "JInvo peace, have pence! you witless one forever do yon cry and ftivo wo speech; why all and eneh havo nought tho distant aky?" Fluttered tho wailing curlow down to rest on tho slippery bough; ho bobbed his bead and briefly said, "You'd bent bo going now.''

March 2-1.- -"Kiirope hiv stilt today o ut Icily peaceful people, a people peaceful in action, in intent and of peaceful con templation," iSii.vh a bulletin jiM is sued by the National Geographic so cicty at Washington. "According to pres dijpatehossthis race is the only Mich race, hut. then, it is one of the moM peculiar peoples in the world's hitor,v the gypsies. "Kntering into lhe lilV of all nation;, under the sun, yet a pail of no sin gle one; miuglimr themselves within tho highest civilirattons, yd unlet tered; pilgrims upon an etctnal, wan der.pnth, vet forever true to the ties ut" racial blood and to customs whose origin and significance huvc been fully forgotten, the sxpsy is the most mysterious of nil, the strange ele menls of folkdom. Oilglo n .Mystery 'Whence they came has never horn settled to a certaiut. All manner of fables have been spun 'o explain their origin. Since they tirst appear ed upon the stage of Kuropc in the tniddlo ages, thev bae been identi fied with the lost tribes of Israel the 'mixed multitude' thnt followed Mose. out of Ku.vpt the Canunnitos the Anionics, the Saracens and the Hgyp tinns. Some hnve held the"1 to be the children of Cain, nnd others have de cided that thev were the children of the Wandering Jew nnd inheritors of the restless curse of their futhcr. "The gypsies tluia-elves have never professed to know who they weic r whero they came from, but they have shown great renditions to accept tho conclusion mi Ibis subject of the people among whom they lived. It was not until' the growth of coinpar utie philology and the chance inves tigation of thogp-ics 'tongue in the beginning of the lnt century that scientists concluded the gyp-dew to he u wandering low -caste tribe from northern India. Their language near ly resembles Snnscrit, the foundation tongue ol all our western languages which hns Held itself purest in In dian sources. J-aogimgo Unwritten One "The language they have wonder fully preserved in the face of over mastering cultures and eternal wan dering. This has ot been accom plished by a litcrnture or b.v a close cnrpointion. Ihe gypsies hnvo no literature, and their language is an unwritten one. while they, theeni- slves, are scattered in small baud over tho whole face of the earth, scattered oven more widely titan the Jews. The gypsy calls himell 'rom,' menning mini, 'the man' of nil men. His wife is 'romni'; his folk life is 'romnipen,' and his language is 'romani'. Kveryone not of his nice come under the generic term of 'gen tilo'. 'Gypsy-folk present the strangest problems known to philology and ethnography. An eleinentnry, no madio folk persisting for centuries in tho midst of complex Mcilmitions they have retained their physical characteristics, their tribal rules and customs reminiscent of their far-dis-taut, oxlrn-Kiiiopenn past, their highly inflected language, and their thousand years of fever for rowing. They ale absolutely singular and without close parallel among the peo ples of earth. Illttei-ly Persecuted "Gypsy idigion and gypsy inspir ation may be summed up In two lines from tho works of the Ocniinn poet, Geethe: 'To give room for wandering is it Thnt the world was mnde so wide.' This folk entered Kuropc bv way of Constantinople in the twelfth cen tury, nnd overflowed into the north ern Balkans, Hungary, Central and Western Kurnpe, Kngland and thenco to North and South America, lho Knglish willed them Kgyptiuns, after their supposed origin, whenco tho nnmo 'gypsy'. They reached Ger many in about 1417 and Kngland about 150D. At first they were treat ed kindly by tho western nations, but their strangeness, their uno'onvenlion ality, their light-fingered wnyst their proneness for fortuno-telling, necro mancy,, black magin nnd (heir un willingness for work in nil forms soon called down upon. them bitter perse cution in Germany, Kngland, Franco nnd tho NcthPilnnds.
