Whether Mr.. Holmes comes back or
not, his latest exploints, told in The Re-
turn of Sherlock Holmes, make very en-
tertaining reading, as told by DR.. Doyle.
1t is true that the careful reader can
early foresee the end of some of them.
Such a reader "gets onto the curves of
DR.. Doyle. He sees that he plays" the
unexpected, and, as in ''The Adventure
of the Three Students or "The Adventure
Of the Second STAIN" for example, ne
quickly discovers where the lightning is
to strike The prestidigital methods Of the
writer cease to fool him. Nevertheless,
he reads the stories with great interest,
entranced with the elaborate detail! with
which the parts of the stories are put
together by the detective.
For one, we are not sorry that Mr..
Holmes came back, and, if he waits as
long before coming back again, we will
probably be very willing to welcome him a
third time. But if he comes again he ought
to do something in the line of grand
detection.

MONUMENT AT GETTYSBURG
FOR the REGULAR ARMY

WASHINGTON - Lieutenant Gen
eral Chaffee and Major General Bates
of the general staff returned to this
city from Gettysburg, Pa, where they
joined other survivors of the battle
of Gettysburg in inspecting the mod
els of monuments designed to mark
the positions of the different organi-
cations of the regular army which
took part in that decisive engagement.
Congress appropriated $4,000 for the
purpose, to be expended under the di-
rection of the national Gettysburg
park commission.
As a result of general discussion
a sentiment was developed in favor
of the erection of a large single monu-
ment in memory of the regular army
in preference to a large number of
small ones to mark the positions of
each individual organization.

God has caused our fatherland to

fate in a sangunary war, but the

TARIFF RATES UP.
Completion of Figures on eermany's
New Low.

WASHINGTON--A statement of the
German customs tariff, comparing the
rates of import duty levied in Ger
many under the old and new customs
tariff, respectively, was given out by
the Department of Commerce and La
Dor. A table has been compiled ex-
pressing the difference between the
old and new raises in advalorem
terms, based on the German estimates
of the import value of the articles in
1908, the last year for which figures
are available.
The estimates as to what percentage
advalorem the new general and con-
ventional rates will constitute can
only be approximately correct at best.
If prices of commodities should not
change greatly as compared with those
prevailing in 1908. the estimates Of
what the new advalorem rates will
amount to will be fairly accurate,
otherwise they will not. On baoch the
rate at present charged is twenty
marks per 100 kiles, and that to be
charged against the new tariff thirty
six marks. an increase of so per cent.
Among the products constituting the
most important items in the export
trade of the United States with Ger
many the highest adyalorem rate af-
fects minerals oils, being II per cent.
advalorem on illuminating and ~ per
cent. on lubricating oil. That on IL
Eliminating has been increased &C per
cent. in the new tariff and left I'M
changed in the conventional tariff.
The duty on tobacco is 81 per cent.
advalorem and has not been changed
in either of the new tariffs.
A series of notable increases affects
agricultural products. Thus rye, the
duty on which until now constituted
the highest advalorem rate viz: 35 per
cent. is advanced to about 20. per cent.
ad valorem under the new general tariff
and 43 per cent under the conventions
al
The specific duty on wheat is adj
vanced ia per cent. on wheat flour
157 per cent; dried wheat, SO per
cent; fresh oranges, 200 per cent. The
conventional tariffs are somewhat
lower. Thus while oranges coming
from favored nations will be subject
to duty of "a per cent. ad valorem
those imported from other countries
will have to pay about 80 per cent
advalorem.
The rates on provisions also have
been advanced 80 per cent. pork ZIG
per cent; beef, 200 per cent though
the conventional tariffs being some
what lower.
