IF YOU READ IN THE PAPERS

that a fierce blizzard is raging in the North Central States or that
there have been great floods in the South Atlantic States, do you
know just which States are meant?

Probably not. For all the geographies published heretofore
make use of other group names or group different States under these
names. Such geographies follow the individual notion of their authors.

BUT THE PUPIL WHO STUDIES

Brigham and McFarlane's Essentials of Geography

WILL KNOW

what states are meant because these geographies teach the official
grouping adopted by the United States Census Bureau and now
referred to in newspapers, government publications, and magazines.
These State groups have been officially standardized because they
are rationally based on similar historical, economic and physiographic
conditions.

These are the only school geographies that follow the official
grouping of the States. In the maps the States are also presented
in these same groups.

The use of the official divisions typifies the up-to-dateness of these books, and of the thorough care exercised to include the latest and most useful information.

THE GERMAN REPLY. The official German reply to the inquiries of the United States regarding the torpedoing of the Sussex and other ships on board of which were Americans, as passengers or crew, is more ingenious

than satisfactory. As to the British steamers Berwindvale, Englishman and Eagle Point, it admits that they were torpedoed by German submarines, but claims that in each case warning shots were fired, which were disregarded, and that boats were lowered for the escape of the crew before the ships were sunk. As to the Manchester Engineer, it declares that the evidence at hand does not prove that the torpedoing was the work of a German submarine, and it asks for more facts. As to the Sussex, it admits that a German submarine commander on the day in question torpedoed a steamer in the channel, in the region indicated, but explains that he had reached the conclusion that it was a war vessel, and submits a sketch of the ship which he made to prove that it could not have been the Sussex.

MEXICAN COMPLICATIONS.

New complications arise in Mexico almost daily. Now it is a report of a new revolutionary movement-the latest said to be headed by General Salazar, formerly of Huerta's staff. Then it is the statement that the Mexican authorities flatly refuse to allow the American commanders to make any use of the railways for transporting supplies. Again, there are hints of a mysterious concentration of Carranzista forces near the American border. Most serious of all is the direct demand of the de facto government that the American troops be withdrawn from Mexican territory and the further pursuit of Villa be left to the constitutionalist army. This demand, made at this time, wears a sinister aspect and creates an extremely difficult and delicate situation.

"IN THE RING."

Colonel Roosevelt's frank announcement of his readiness to accept the Republican nomination for the presidency provided that the Republican party is in a "heroic mood"-recalls his declaration, four years ago, that his hat was "in the ring." It was generally anticipated, yet it has added to the confusion already existing, created in part by the working out of the curiously mixed primary systems in the different states. Four years ago, Colonel Roosevelt's defection was the prime cause of the election of Wilson. It would be a strange yet not impossible outcome of the present chaotic state of things if, bitterly hostile as he is to Wilson and all his ways, he should now unwittingly contribute to his reelection. The Republican party never needed to hold together more than at the present moment; and the Roosevelt candidacy, whatever its strength or weakness, is distinctly divisive. A DESIRABLE "SPEEDING UP."

The announced intention of Congress to "speed up" its work in order to adjourn before the assembling of

warmly approved, provided, of course, that the acceleration of speed is not gained at the cost of proper scrutiny and adequate debate of pending measures of importance. In legislation, as in other matters, there is a haste which "makes waste.' The River and Harbor bill, which disputes prominence with the Public Buildings bill as a purveyor of "pork," has already passed one branch. The Demo cratic majority in both branches is holding together pretty well in most of the measures considered; but the division on the highly important bills relating to the reorganization and extension of the army, the strengthening of fortifications and naval construction is not along party lines, and the adjustment of these questions will take time.

SETTING THE CLOCK AHEAD.

Beginning with the 1st of May, all the clocks in Germany and Austria are to be set ahead one hour; and a similar change is advocated in Holland, but there the movement has not taken a definite shape. This is a definite enforcement of the "early daylight movement" which was warmly advocated in Great Britain some years ago.

What it amounts to is a concerted and nation-wide getting out of bed and beginning the work of the day an hour earlier than at present. It would be idle to advocate this reform simply as a personal practice. The individual would not be moved by the suggestion that, by simply moving his clock ahead one hour, he would find it easy to get up at what purported to be seven o'clock but was really six, or at what called itself eight o'clock but was really

a nation-wide regulation,
quiring every one to do it, and begin-
ning all industrial and business ar-
rangements accordingly, is a different
thing; and it involves a prodigious
saving of oil and coal by providing
ample daylight for all employments.

NO BUMPER WHEAT CROPS
THIS YEAR.

Last year and the year before,
economic conditions in Europe were
greatly relieved by abundant food
supplies from American wheat fields.
In 1914, Europe's wheat crop was less
by 345,000,000 bushels than the year
before; the Australian harvest was
almost a failure; and the Canadian
crop was small. In 1915, the with-
drawal of millions of men to the
battle fields produced far worse con-
ditions. But the wheat crop in the
United States in 1914 was 128,000,000
bushels larger than ever before; and
in 1915 even this bumper record was
beaten, and the crop was 120,000,000
bushels larger still. But the govern-
ment's April forecast of the winter
wheat points to no bumper crop this
year. The indications are that the
crop will run thirty-two per cent. un-
der that of 1914 and thirty-nine per
cent. under that of 1915. There has
been considerable shrinkage in
acreage; and, in many parts of the
wheat belt, the autumn was cold and
rainy and the winter weather un-
favorable.

THE NICARAGUA TREATY.

The Nicaraguan Congress has lost no time in ratifying the treaty upon

April 20, 1916

which our Senate recently took favorable action. This is not surprising, for the three million dollars which the United States has promised to pay for possible canal route rights and for a coaling station on Fonseca Bay mean a good deal to a government which is in such desperate financial straits as that of Nicaragua. The money will not go far, but it is a good deal better than nothing. Incidentally, the existing government will be strengthened by the fact that its maintenance is essential to the carrying out of the obligations assumed under the treaty. But there remain to be adjusted questions growing_out of the remonstrances of Costa Rica and Salvador against the location of an American naval station on the bay, which will have to be dealt with carefully.
