COUNTING TEE COST Statistics of British foreign trade, for May reveal ta part the enormous damage dona by the coal ruincr' 6trlke. Exports -were the smallest since December. 1918. and Imports showed the smallest total since December, 1917. In May, a year ago, ccal exports amounted to S, 643,499 pounds; last mouth the aggregate was but 32,861 pounds. Imports of coal, usually insignificant, amounted in the month to 450,162 tons, valued at 1,553, 430 pounds. The falling og of ircn and steel exports approximated S.000 pounds, Indicating the extent to which producing works have baen forced to close for lack of fuel. These closings are continuing. Though the miners strike be settled, there have bean prodigious losses which cannot be made up. The largest part falls on the working clashes. The miners have inflicted punishment on the coal operators, but the severest injury has been done to operatives in the other industries who have been thrown into idleness because there was insufficient coal to keep the plants running. We get an inkling of hew imperative is the -Ml of keeping industries going in the importations of 1 which drained the country of $6,000,000 badly aeeded at home. British manufacturers must fulfill their contracts or lose them to continental concerns, many of them German. This is why so many went otbroad for coal. Some of them may continue to lock away from Britain for fuel supplies. They will if they can make better terms elsewhere or are assured of a more regular Bupply than the home producers can promise them. The miners strike has been a blow to the British industry at a time when it was mst In need of full aapport by every element of the nation. Recovery from it win be alow and may never be complete.

ROMANCE IN THE SOUTH SEAS A protest recently came from the people of one of the islands of the South Seas which we have been accustomed to think of as inhabitated by savages. They complained that they were pictured as going about In a state of nudity, whereas the truth was, they said, that they had worn the same sort of clothes as we do for two generations and would be as much shocked as we if one of their number should appear in public without lainment. Our conception of the life of those fascinating islands in a remote part of the world is lised largely on the stories of Herman Melville, Robert IajiiIh Steven-t-ou, Jack London and other writers of romance; doubtless many of our ideas concerning the region and its people are as wide of the truth as the misapprehension that the folk of the protesting islands go naked. We must guard, however, against going to trie other extreme and picturing the South Seas as civilized to the Fame extent as the United States or Europe. Frederick O'Brien has shown otherwise in "White Shadows in the South Seas" and auother traveler has recently returned from one of the more obscure islands with the statement that the natives are barbarians of the most primitive sort and still practice cannibalism. And now cornea from Papeete. Tahiti, as a news dispatch a yarn that would do credit to the imagination of any of the novelists of the South Sea. It is a story of treasure taken from Peru during a revolution many years ago and buried on one of the coral srolla to the eastward cf Tahiti. Dying in Sidney, the last, survivor of the piratical band that stole the jewels revealed the hiding place to a stranger who had befriended him, and an expediitiin is being fitted out to hunt for the loot. Tnat it is taken seriously by a number of people who are willing to fisk money on the recovery of the treasure is pretty good evidence that the possibilities cf a wild end lomantic adventure of the kind that Stevenson loved to narrate are still for from exhausted, and that romance Js yet to be found in the South Seas.

TESTS OP CHAHACTES Tia head of a aurety company some days ago exjsreased tha conviction as a result of his obaeryation that wrrd men, fat zaen and profane men offer the best risks In tix business. "There may be a valid reason why married men wo-old be deterred from violating a trust evan though under other circumstances they might act retrain. Family disgrace and the pain that would fee Inflicted on innocent persons tErougn the husbands' rias might opera to to keep them in the straight path, thocgh there might b Just as powerful a reason for a unmarried man with parents and brothers and sister to avoid peculation. It may ba that tat men are disposed toward good nature and that an easy-going man is not tempted to go wrong because It would involve too much trouble. Profanity by some has been defined as due to a limited vocabolary. Because one is unable to cemmand npprorod words of sufficient strength to express his feelis; he interlards his remarks with profanity on the principle that the statement is thereby strengthened. But why should one with a limited command of 'anguae be a better risk than one who uses good English and la able to express his thought without the use of profanity? If observation supports the view expressed by the rurety company official It 1b coincidence rather than causa and effect. One's reliability certainly depends on one's principles rather than on one's martial state, corpulency or manner of speech. Tt Is the inner man, the part of the man that cannot be seen, that determines one's trustworthiness. It may be revealed partly by one's language, it may show In his countenance, his family relations may offer some proof, but were one to -rely solely on one being married, fat and profane a long chance would be taken. Integrity is a quality that cannot be determined by surface indications. It has to be determined in living. The honest man may meet all three of the ouperficial conditions laid down but he is honest not because of them, but because he is right.

I DISAPPEARING RATTLE SCARS Nature blushes for the deeds of men; the pond gren earth forgives but does not forget. An English writer lately returned from a tour of vbat part of I .Mi.ce occupied during the war by the jrlti'I' force-J wil'.vs: Four-fifths cf the vast, provinces churnc.l and nmt 'lated by war between An. him and Avesnes is under cultivation. Odd stretches of flghtIrg ground in Flanders, the labyrinth south of Vimy ridge, the wilder tract astride Aniere and Scarpe, may still be found Just as the last great struggle left ihem; but it would take a greater than Hindenburg to trace across tne ground the entire Hindenburg line, the elaborate emplacements of which have been broken up fcr the malntalnance of roads." Let the work of healing the wounded battle ground be hastened. It is one of the fortunate provisions of the treaty that insofar as possible restoration i1? to be made. When peaceful homes and flrurishing fields replace the devastated areas of France and Belgium the world will more easily forget its period of

frenay; the coming generation will have loss to prompt the nurture of its hatreds. But the earth will treasure its bitter memories. On nearly the same ground in the studious period of peace following the Franco-Prussian war. scholars excavated the sites of Caesar's camps and battlefields in Gaul- More than 1.S00 years had elapsed, but Caesars trenches and the famous 'lilies' designed as mantraps were still easily recognizable by the displaced strata of sells and the mixture of dark humus with the excavated chalk beds. And in those hidden pits were bones of men. their broken swords and spears and the battered armor. Beneath the popples of Flanders field 1I the records of the world's supreme outburst of madness. Let the grasses and flowers grew quickly and conceal them, for Just now the world hag need of soothing forgetfulness. But let them r-maln also forever to be studied by archaeologists and historians and to be meditated upon by philosophers, in the hope that the wisdom of mankind may avail to prevent the recurrence of such a catastrophe.
