The business situation.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s Review SAYS:
weather conditions have continued
to stimulate retail trade in seasonable
merchandise, part Of the earlier unsatis-
factory results being offset by a vigorous
demand for winter clothing and footwear.
while household consumption of fuel has
revived retail trade, so that coal dealers
will not carry over as heavy stocks at the
end Of the season as was indicated by last
months business. Nor has the possi-
bility Of a strike unsettled confidence in
the future, iobhing and wholesale sales of
dry goods for the spring trade reaching
a greater aggregate than last year, and
collections are prompt in most instances.
Manufacturers in most leading industries
are falling further behind with deliveries
particularly in the steel business, while
increased capacity has not kept pace with
requirements, but reports from the woolen
mills are irregular.
"Failures this week numbered 24l in
the United States against 25s last year.
and SS in Canada, compared with 30 a
year ago"
Bradstreet's says: "Spring trade in
dry goods, clothing, shoes and millinery
continues TO show expansion despite the
presence of winter conditions. Inter
ruption from this source in fact has been
less than anticipated, and shipments OF
goods on old orders and preparations fol
house trade at leading centres 20 on un.
checked. Retail trade has been appre-
oiably helped by the weather. but con.
siderable stocks will unquestionably be
carried over because recorder business has
not been heavy, owing to mild weather

Help for japan.

We print on this page an appeal from
the Delaware Branch Of the American
National Red Cross Society for the famine
stricken people Of the three northern
provinces Of Japan. and urge upon our
people to give it their most sympathetic
attention.
It appears from the statements con-
tanned in this appeal that, by reason Of an
extensive failure of the rice crop, more
than half a million people, unless gem
erous relief shall be extended, will be
threatened with death by starvation. This
prospect is most appalling, and should stir
the hearts of all who can spare the slightest
portion Of their money possessions toward
donating the same to the agents of the
Red Cross, to be applied to the physical
salvation Of the stricken people.
Years ego, when the failure Of the
potato crop in Ireland reduced thousands
in that fair island to the verge of starva-
ton, tho great heart Of the American
people was appealed to, and made most
noble and generous response. Today
we have a condition Of affairs In Japan
similar to that which prevailed in Ireland
more than half century ago. Now, as
then, the appeal for relief is directed to
the generous people of the United States,
and now, as then, will not the response
be prompt and assuring
Contributions in this city may be sent
to Mr.. Henry NJ Candy, ll0l Delaware
avenue, treasurer Of the Delaware Branch
Of the American National Red Cross, and
will by him be sent to the parent body
The latter will forward them to the Japan
ese Red Cross, through whose agency the
relief work will be applied directly to the
sufferers.
Tho occasion is a worthy one, and tn,
response should be encouraging. The
people Of Wilmington should be among
the foremost in the good work Of aiding
the sufferers in the terribly stricler
famine district of Japan.

Tho Conversion Of Alice.

The sudden conversion Of Senator Alice
to the cause Of clean elections and an un-
corrupted suffrage in Delaware evidently
incites hope mingled with apprehension
in the mind Of the Dover Index. "For
years" it says, "the chief lieutenant Of
Addicks, the greatest political corrup-
ZIONIST this State has ever known, who
holds his official position through the
influence Of the money of Addiclxs, leads
many persons to inquire why so sudden
a change from the corrupt to the uncor-
rupt, from civic destruction to civic
virtue In justice 70 Senator Alice,
he must be given credit as being honest
and sincere in his declaration against
bribery, but we trust that his statement
has not been prompted from any appre-
hension for the scarcity Of Republican
campaign funds in the next election"
We are frank to say that we do not
believe that Senator Allee's conversion
was due entirely to "any apprehension
for the scarcity of Republican campaign
funds in the next election" Such an
apprehension undoubtedly had something
to do with il, as the outlook for corruption
money is not as rosy now as it was two
years ago. But we are confident that the
main incentive to the Alice conversion
was the Inauguration Of the anti-bribery
campaign.
No matter what else the proposed anti
bribery organization may do, it will make
vote-buying in the future exceedingly
hazardous. There is not the slightest
doubt that il this disreputable work is
attempted during the next campaign,
someone will be sent to jail
That Senator Alice does not desire to
60 to prison is only natural 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that he should come
out against bribery and in favor of clean
elections.

AN APPEAL FROM JAPAN.


Through the California branch. the
American National Red Cross has received
from the American residents in Japan an
appeal for the famine-stricken people in
three northern provinces of that country
In one province the rice crop has yielded
only y per cent Of the average, and the
sentence OF death hangs over a quarter
OF million people If forgotten and un-
aided. In the eastern portion of another
province the yield is only IS per cent
and $4,000 people are in great distress
ana on the verge Of absolute starvation;
and IN the third province it is certain
that over 100000 persons cannot live
without speedy and prolonged aid.
Already thousands in these three
provinces are reduced to shrub roots
and the bark of trees by which mere life
may for time be sustained. but at the
least calculation 6S0O00 people are now
facing extreme conditions. What this
means for their poor women and children,
we who live in the centre OF this on
coming misery find no words to describe. 4"
Hundreds Of thousands Of persons are
on the verge Of starvation and winter is
adding its rigors to the distress, snow
having hidden away the roots and herbs
OF the forests from the hands Of the
s'ilcken people, speedy death or physical
anguish worse than death confronts them
During the late war the great European
Red Cross Societies did much TO aid the
Japanese Red Cross in its work of caring
for the sick and wounded, but our Ameri-
can Red Cross, just beginning its re-
organization, could be of no assistance.
Now the opportunity arises for us to
send to these brave famine-stricken people
some assistance from our abundance. The
American National Red Cross will gladly
receive and forward to the Japanese Red
Cross, to be used for the relief Of these
tamine-striclzen provinces, such CON
tributions as the public at large OF any
OF its own members desire TO make.
All contributions in this city can be
sent to Henry M. Candy, ll01 Delaware
avenue, treasurer Of the Delaware Red
Cross Branch of the American National
Red Cross.
The conditions in Japan, as shown by
both letters and newspaper reports are
too terrible and too pitiful to make an
appeal to our American people prove in
/ vain. Charles Bird
President Delaware Branch American
National Red Cross.
