from La Junta, says: "Four new men

of postal clerks in the service between

fourteen now employed. The eastern

for the increase in the number

A COMMERCIAL rREA1Y.
Germany and Russia Discuss Means for Nut
ial Benefit in Trade

Berlin. Nov. 2O.-WhiIe the Car was
at Potsdam. recently, the general lines
of a prospective commercial treaty be-
tween Germany and Russia were
reached. Emperor William. the Gar
DR.. Won MIGUEL and NJ. DeWitte dis
cussed the whole situation, including
the financial crisis in Russia. This lat
ter was largely due to the numberless
industrial enterprises. especially in
iron. started under the Russian high
tariff policy. being obliged TO curtail
their output owing to insufficient coal
supplies from the south Russian mines.
When the workshops closed for lack of
coal, prices rose enormously and the
minister OF finance. M. DeWitte. there
fore arbitrarily fixed the price Of rail-
road material required by the state
railroads at about 80 per cent. below
the price demanded. AS many of these
enterprises were started expressly 10
supply the Siberian railroad. the re-
suit was disastrous.
Tie German and Russian govern
ments take grave view Of the situa-
ton. but in Berlin financial circles. the
crisis is only regarded as temporary.
Therefore, in view of the Cars en-
phatic declaration at Potsdam in favor
of NJ. DeWitte's peace policy and the
believed baseiessness of the represen-
tatives Of Russian advance in Afghan
istan and Persia. they are inclined to
further Russias financial and indus
trial expansion on the ground that the
will be thus subscribing to their own
interests in drawing apart Russia and
France and in heightening Russia's
powers OF purchasing German pro-
ducts.
