An Increase of Trade Is Reported
After Ten Years Experience
with the Policy.

= report, of great interest to the
United States al this moment, in view
of the pendency of reciprocity treaties
before congress, is that made to the
state department by United States Com
sui Ozmun. at Stuttgart, relative to the
workings of reciprocity arrangements
in Germany shows THAT tirrnrHny-
has now had ten years experience in
trade relations with seven different
European countries, conducted under
commercial treaties and the results of
their workings have been carefully
compiled and arranged in tabular form
in this report. The consul's conclu-
sions are in brief, that Germany, by en-
tering into commercial treaties with
these seven different countries, was
able to increase her export trade with
them A per cent. while at the same
time the imports from these countries
exceeded the exports to them, this ex-
cess being SO per cent. lass in the last
three years of treaties than in the
three before they came into operation.
This greatly increased volume of trade
has made reciprocity treaties popular
in Germany.

AWAITS several tHousanG men. Consul
Dudley at Vancouver, in report To The
department of state. in which he deals
with the lumber industry, says: The
lumber business in this province is
prosperous just now. A few months
ago the provincial government placed
an export duty upon all logs sent from
this province to the United States.
This applies only to logs cut from gov
eminent lands. Lands in the hands of
private owners or crown granted lands
are not affected by this regulation.
Nevertheless, the placing of tins export
duty on logs has increased the number
of mills here considerably, especially
single mills. One mill cuts l,250, 600
shingles daily. These are red cedar
shingles, and large portion of the cut
put is shipped to the United States.
AN agent of one OF the lumber mills
has just stated that he has orders
booked that will take him is months to
fill. There is u great lack of men. lie
says that 5000 or 5000 men could find
employment in the lumber and shingle
mills and in the logging camps. The
wages are probably lower and the cost
of living higher than in the adjoining
state of Washington. Still, if men ac-
customed to numbering work are out

WOMAN'S NURSE CORPS.
Surgeon General RiNey Fay0rs Its
Establishment for the United
states Navy.

The first annual report OF Surgeon
General Rixey showst that the health of
the navy and marine corps was good
throughout the last fiscal year, the
percentage of sick and the death rate
being lower than for several years. The
most important recommendation of
the report perhaps is that congress
provide for the establishment of
-wnman,s- nurse CORPS forthe- navy to
consist of one superintendent, eight
head nurses. 16 first-class and "a Sec
ond-classs nurses, these numbers to be
increased at the discretion of the sec
rotary. The surgeon general says:
"That women are. the superiors of
men for the work of nursing there can
be no question. and the objection that
they are not compatible with military
conditions can scarcely apply to insti-
buttons of the character of our large
naval hospitals"
The surgeon general also makes a
strong plea for the appointment Of
dentists for the navy, pointing out that
many otherwise good recruits for the
service are lost for lack of dental care.
