Industrial America.

while We Americans are commonly
credited with . disposition to think
no small potatoes Of ourselves, we
greatly doubt II many of us really
realize the Importance Of the United

The recent census shows that We are
now annually turning out about M.
teen billion dollars worth Of manu-
featured products, and these are fly
ures not approached by those Of any
other country In the world. The aid
to the farmer which this immense pro-
ductiOn affords IL very great. for
while. on the one hand, IL provides
him with q vast home market for the
products ~ the sUil, Il also gives
wonderfully chespened facilities which

and economically.
The farmers Of the country no only
feed and clothe themselves, and In the
main also all the rest ~ the people. 10

The Princess, IL Reports From Vfen-

By Encouraging u French Tu~

Dresden, Saxony, Dec. 24.-King
George and the crown prince Freder-
ick know where the crown princess
Louise has sought refuge, but they
bave decided to accept the estrange-
ment of the princess and her husband
as irreparable. They have made the
cabinet privy to the circumstances of
the princess fight as they see them.
and decree of divorce is talked Of
as a necessary sequel Of the princess
resolution to leave the court forever.
This determination of the princess
was announced TO her husband early
in November, after one of their fre-
quent violent scenes She also con-
fided her intention to separate herself
utterly from the court and all its
"wretchedness" to two of three of
her intimate friends, and discussed
with them the impossibility of her
longer enduring the artificial eti-
quette of the court and the forced
companonship of man who was
loathsome to her"
What She Complained OF.
What she complained of in the
prince was his intemperance, his in
fidelities and, as her partizans affirm,
his cruelty of disposition. They af-
firm that he has had for years liason
with an actress named Baste, and 1t 10
credibly reported that at review OK
troops at Grimma, n couple OF years
ago, the prince fell from his horse,
intoxicated, in front of his regiment.
However true these incidents may be.
the court and all Dresden knew that
chasm separated the affections OF
the crown princess from the crown
prince. Though he seemingly had
genuine admiration for his wife. the
prince did his share OF quarrehng'
and often tried to impose his will up
On her. but he always hoped that she
would in the end humble herself.

as violating the terms of the DEGREES

lowed ali steamers coming from the
United States ten days grace from
the date OF the establishment of the
