The Frankfurter Zeitung, q leading
German paper, reviewing the war and
the role Germany has played, regrets
the attacks of the German press on
the United States, and arrives at the
conclusion that Germany has behaved
in Thoroughly injudicious manner. 3"
1t says: "Two German vessels at Ma
Mia would have suffced amply, and in
the future we hope the foreign Office
will take into it's own hands the set
ting of all incidents in connection
with Germany's foreign policy, includ-
ing those relating to the navy"

APennsylvania commission, charged
with the difficult task of devising
some means whereby convict labor
can be utilized without interfering
with union labor, has found, after two
years of inquiry, nothing better, IN
der existing statute restrictions, than
the New York plan of utilizing such
labor in the making of supplies for
state institutions. The members of
the commission approve of the Euro
pean plan of making army stores and
equipments in the prisons. That plan,
of course, is not applicable in this
country, where ordinarily there is no
such demand for war material, but
Pennsylvania is supporting 10000 in
sane in its various hospitals, and it is
believed that the furnishing of sup
plies for that INDECENT army would
keep all the prison inmates in the
state busy.

It is not so very long ago that Korea
was a close corporation, and, Of
course, having no foreign trade what.
ever, it is interesting and surprising
TO know with what rapidity it has in
creased since 1898, when it had 49,.
900, 200, and in 1897 it had grown to
Bill, 900, 900. The Japanese troops,
during the Japan China war, spent
large sums of money in the country,
which furnished the Koreans with @
purchasing medium. Later there was
large influx of Chinese merchants,
and the government, in 1897, made
large expenditures for public works,
causing a great increase in trade.
Americans are somewhat interested in
Korea, in its gold mines and in the
construction of electric roads.

Notwithstanding the large amount
Of its Chinese indemnity, Japan finds
itself in financial straits, and lacks
,apital to carry on its largely increas-
ing volume of business. Business
men in all parts of the empire are
making urgent appeals to the govern
ment for relief. But with the pur-
chase of new warships aud other ex-
penditures the imperial treasury finds
Ehe demands upon it all and more
than it is at present capable Of meet
ing, and is considering new schemes
of internal taxation to make up the
deficiency. Germany found itself in
: financial crisis only a few years after
the payment Of the huge French in
aemnity, the lesson of both cases be,
ing that the booty Of war does not
always pay its cost nor provide an in.
exhaustible fund for the nation that
gets it.

A Disastrous Fire

At o'clock this morning fire
broke out IN the Montgomery
Cooperage Cos. shops. When
noticed it had gained great head
way and by the time the fire de-
partment arrived the entire in
side Of one Of the twin buildings
was a mass Of flames. The iron
roof and sides kept the fire con-
fined until they had fallen in,
which made the heat terrific.
The fire soon caught the other
building, and though they fought
the flames valiantly, the fireman
could only save the nearby build
Ings and the cooperagc works
were a total loss. But for the
work of the firemen, Taylor'S s
mill and dry kiln would have
burned. The kiln was on fire
several times, and with it would
have gone much other property.
The boys stayed on the scene
until / o'clock and only left when
the fire was out and all danger
over.
The buildings were owned by
Mrs. M. d. Taylor K Sons. and
were rented two years ago to
the Montgomery Cooperage Co.
They were valued at SllOO and
were insured.
The loss to the company is
about $4,000, with $500 insurance.
In TIE buildings there was ;0o
spirit barrels, a car Of iron, ma
chinery, furnaces, tools, etc, !,
which comprised the company
loss.
The employees were heavy
losers, each one having his kit
Of tools in the building.
Mr.. w. H. Clark, manager of
this branch, told the Star man
that his company would continue
work in Ocala, renting n building,
or building later, and will prob
ably be at work again in a fort
night.
The cooperage was one Of
Ocala's most solid enterprises
and labor employing institutions.
and everyone deeply dcplorcs the
loss.
Mr. Clark Thought it was I'M
possible for the fire to originate
from the dryers or furnaces, as
they are surrounded with d solid
brick wall. No cscw has yet
been discovered as to its origin.
