Trade Between France and Germany
q Guarantee OF Peace.

There is probably no more substantial
guarantee Of the peace Of Europe at
present than the enormous development
Of commerce between France and Ger
many. The guarantee is all the more
valuable because Germany is making the
bigger advances. She is pushing her
wares in the French markets and she is
making gains twice as fast as the French
are gaining in Germany.
The expansion Of trade between the
two countries is illustrated in the totals
for the last three years. In 1905 it was
i,1O5, 992, 900 francs; in 1905 it grew TO
LEES, $50, 900 francs, and the figure for 1907
was 1882, 8sS, 900 francs, an increase Of
rather more than 10 per cent. in two
years. France caters to the rapidly
growing spirit Of luxury in Germany.
It supplies wine, early vegetables, fruit
and all sorts Of confectionery and pre-
served foods, also fine fabrics and artistic
and semi-artistic articles Of use and
ornament. Germany sends to France a
great number Of articles Of coarser de-
scription which commend themselves by
their durable qualities or by their cheap
ness-iron work and the rougher and
cheaper fabrics, also fuel, chemicals and
some toys.
The enormous industrial strides made
by Germany since the consolidation Of
the empire have enabled her to get a
strong hold on the French markets, but
have not served to lessen Frances hold
on her own The movement Of COM
modities increases in both directions,
though the Germans forge ahead faster.
This is the way in which the totals given
above divide themselves:

RELIGION IN THE DAILY PRESS
Letter From the Rev. Or. Edward Ever.
cit Hale.

To THB EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sr: L
thought 1 had read my Sun even more resu-
larly thsn usual this summer but q friend
sends to me the enclosed article, which had
escaped my attention, which has q reference
to myself. I must ask you to say that i
share the views Of my friends Of the Brooklyn
Eaoe regarding practical missionary work.
Indeed, ! suppose II Ia only by an oversight
that The Sun expresses itself as It does. /
have too often profted by it's practical mis-
sionary work to accept this article as q reve-
lation of its position. .
The Unitarian Association was formed to
diYuse the knowledge and promote the inter-
ests OF pure Christianity.
IL seems to me that the officers OF the asso-
citation have done very wisely In extending
the knowledge OF pure Christianity by the
agency Of the daily press. ! am very glad.
and I think the readers Of THE SON are very
glad, whenever IL joins In such work.
The plan referred to in the Eagle seems
to me admirably adapted to carry out the
great object Of all Christian men. A half
hearted missionary once expressed himself
to the Duke of Wellington in something the
vein of the article from THE U which 1
enclose. What are your marching orders.
sIr2- the Duke said In reply. And the poor
fellow had to confess that they were the direct
Instructions Of the SAVIOUR, that We should
all 60 out into all the world and preach the
glad tidinss Of God to every creature.
1t 10 NOT to those persons who attend
churches alone, but to every creature that
the glad tidines are to be proclaimed,

press for nearly a century? ] cannot remem-

We agree with all that DR.. Hale says
In his letter. except 30 far as his remarks
may proceed from a Misrepresentation. This

understands as applying to all articles OF

press what THE SUN said about the news

The Deacon Gets the Campaign Hen,


- One Of the most affecting intellectual
and high moral competitions ever ex-
( { hibited, to a discriminating public has
ended with honor to all concerned and
substantial profit to the great American
? collector, Mr.. BRYAN. 1t will be remem-
bered that Deacon CALDWELL Of the
Charlotte Observer, in the frenzy Of his
zeal for the Denver ticket, offered to the
Bryan, campaign fund which Deacon
HEMPHILL of the Charleston Neps and
Courier was crying for with the same
frenzy, a gander and a hen taken on

farmers of Mecklenburg county, as famous

80 of Independence. Deacon HEMPHILL
accepted and fostered these birds at con-

So self. He is no farmer, but what pain
would he grudge in the service Of Mr..

glorious story:

exports to Germany increased only eleven
and a half millions and sixteen millions,
In round figures, in the years cited, Ger
many's exports to France grew 100, i59, 900
francs in 1908 over 1905, and again a.
547, 900 francs in 1907. France still holds
the advantage, but in 1905 the excess OF
her exports yer imports from Germany
was l51, 522, 900 francs, whereas in 1907
1t had fallen to 80, SOC, 900 francs.
In the present year there has been a

conditions. while convinced that their
country's exports to Germany will grow
steadily, still concede that for many
years to come Germany will gain on
France and will soon reverse the exist
ing balance OF trade.
The tendency is largely due to differ
ence in commercial methods. The
French make little or no effort to push
their goods. IF a French merchant

when they performed an operation
which saved his life. Huyler, a tailor,
l8 years old, fell Thursday while car

A few hours later he visited the Har-

heart and fearing he was going to die,
he hurried to the hospital.
rays were applied and the needle
was seen so close to his heart that
had it remained there two hours more,
the surgeons say, it probably would
have penetrated that organ and caused
death. Huyler is resting comfortably

GYPSY MOTH BUDGET.
Bay State Approprlates 100000 for
determination of the Brown
tail Moths.

BOSTON, May 18.-In asking Mas
sachusetts Legislature for an appro-
priation of 100000 to cover the ex-
pense Of the warfare this year against
the gypsy browntail moths, Archie H.
Kirkland, state supt. for the suppress
sion of insect pests, said that over
eighty thousand parasites of the
moths have been let loose from the
experiment station at Melrose High
lands during the past week and
twenty thousand will be ready for
liberation within few days. This
action Is regarded as most impor-
tant step in the campaign of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and State authorities against the
destructive moths and the result will
be watched with interest in every
locality where these insects have ap'
peared.
The scientists there is every rea-
sons to believe that in time these par
asites will accomplish the practical
suppression Of the gypsy moth here
as they have in Europe.
