There has always been a case oi
militarism and International warfare
Through the last half century it has
grown with rapddity; and now one ot
the most serious problems confronting
US is how to deal with this information
al disease.
1 shall strive to set before you a
brief history of militarism, with its
objection able features and the diff
cufties that arise in overcoming It;
and to show you the steps that have
been made toward a universal peace
and the many advantages accruin9
from such peace.
AS 1 have said before, there has al
ways been a case of militarism and
International warfare. While the union
OF smaller states to form larger ones,
as in Italy and Germany, is step
toward world organization; and this
is the only way by which universal
peace can be attained; yet, the larg-
est and strongest army was formed by
the German Confederation
Militarism has made its most rapid
strides since the 17th century, and
Germany is the central figure. Ger
many has had her Thirty Years
War" her Seven Weeks War" and
her "Franco-Prussian War" in which
there was loss OF 225,0OO lives. Mean
while the other nations have had their
wars. During Napo4eon's campaign
in Russia, there fell during one hun
dred seventy three days in succession
an average Of 1900 men per day. The
war between the United States and
England, commonly known as the war
of 1872, there was a loss Of so 900 lives
This gives only an idea OF what war
has done.
No canvas can picture war; no ar
tist has ever found himself where he
could fling down his brush and say
as he gazed upon his canvas, Such.

tion is impossible. BUT If a man wish
es to realize what war Is, let him go
into his closet, shut the door and pray
to the heavenly Father, and then when
that gentle peace of God has settled
on his heart, let him turn ito the idea
of ibattle at once: let him bring his
lima ginatdon into play; let 1t wander
over that field OF carnage; let 1t see
man after man fall: let 1t look upon
that green grass, crfmsoned with hu-
man blood; let 1t listen to the moan
ings of the horses and the groans of
the dying men; let DIT look upon those
whitening forms; let 1T gaze upon the
pallor of that multitude of faces to
whom death is am angel Of mercy;
then he will realize what war, means.

New YORK, May 20, 1909.

Some rather big transactions have
given the local leaf market quite lift
for season which is bordering on the
dog-days. Twenty-four hundred cases
of Gebhardt were disposed of by a
Water street firm to number of the
largest cigar manufacturing concerns
in the country. A sale of 100 bales of
Sumatra were also made to a cigar
manufacturing concern. The liberal
purchases by the big factories appear
to have been prompted by the big busi-
ness these factories are doing and by
their confidence, not only in the future
steadiness, but also in the certain ex-
pansion of the cigar industry. On the
other hand the inference is not out of
the way that the continuous gains of
the larger concerns in the yet some
what slow times as these are, are be-
ing made at the expense of the smaller
ones. In fact, all reports agree that
the smaller concerns have as yet not
recovered the ground lost during the
panic period in spite of their hard and
persistent struggle to do so. That's the
dark side of the present situation. The
removal of large quantities of stock
from the market will make it more diff
ficult to supply the needs of the needy
ones and will effect an advance in price
besides. AS often pointed out during
the course Of the past few months in
these columns, anyone expecting to
take advantage Of price depression
later on in our market is sure to be dis
appointed And smaller concerns who
are waiting for the unexpected to hap
pen will be in much less favorable
position to meet competition with a
largely enhanced value of their raw
material. It may be written down as
an incontrovertible axiom that all types
of leaf tobacco, whether domestic or
foreign, with no exception whatsoever,
are cheaper today than they will be at
the opening of the Fall season. Jour

What little work there is yet being
done around the warehouses to COM
plete the handling of the '0S crop at
the packing points is about the only re-
minder now visible of the movement
almost closed. Nowhere do we hear of
any effort to secure the remainder in
growers hands. The situation regard
ing the old leaf market remains prac-
tically unchanged. A sale of two 50cs
lots of '06 and '07 by GAINESVILLE packers
is reported. Packers are receiving
more frequent inquiry for samples and
prices, which is an encouraging feature,
as well as the revenue reports showing
an increased output of manufactured
products. We learn, too, of several
fair sized transactions that are under
consideration that are likely to lead to
a larger volume of business in cured
leaf.
1t is seldom that the plant beds have
made more rapid advancement than
during the past week. Ideal weather,
conditions have prevailed and the young
plants on many farms will be ready for
transplanting the coming week and
thereafter the planting season will pro-
ceed. Growers will find themselves
pushed to prepare their fields to accom-
modate the fast growing plants.
The shipments out of storage reach
655 cases and 2 cars of bundles from
this market to all points for the week
past.

LANCASTER, Pa, May 20, 1909.
There has been absolutely no change
the past week in the local leaf tobacco
market, so far, at least, as old goods
are concerned. The sales are still con-
fined to local cigar manufacturers, and
there has been no change in prices. The
packers will be greatly relieved when
they see the last of their old goods, the
improbable 1906 tobacco, in particular.
Some black rot has been found among
the 1908 packings, but not enough to
occasion any alarm, as it is not present
to a greater extent than usual, no crop
ever being entirely free from it. Re-
Gently Rutt & Baker of Landisville sold
500 cases of 1908 tobacco, and A. III.
Hershey of Mountville sold several hum
dred cases.
The cigar industry is about the same
as it was last week. Big manufacture
ers report some improvement, but the
trade generally is dull.
The growers will soon be putting out
their plants all over the county. Some
few have already planted, but general
planting time is not quite here yet

that a movement is on foot to organize
the Sumatra growing companies into a
combination or trust. 1t is proposed
by some of the largest Sumatra raising
houses of Amsterdam to form a combi-
nation, or come to an agreement where
by the amount of land planted annually
in tobacco can be controlled with the
idea Of cutting down the present acre
age one-ffth. According to story as
it comes from Holland, the crop of Su-
matra tobacco has steadily increased
from 233, ,957 bales in 1904 to 278, 115
bales in 1908, an increase of twenty per
cent-in four years, during which period
there has been no corresponding in
crease in the demand. This steady ex-
pansion of the production, it is said,
has had depressing effect on prices,
and after the record average of 159
cents per one-half kilo for the very
high-grade crop in 1907 the price drop
ped to 81 cents in 1903. At the same
time the cost Of producing tobacco has
greatly increased in the last few years
on account of higher wages and of the
|
Whereas about ten years ago the to-
bacco could be produced at from 60 to
rs cents, at present the cost runs as
high as 10 cents in some cases, which
means that in wears Of moderate, but
not altogether bad prices, many COM
panies which used to do very well can
no longer earn dividends. Moreover,
the new measure adopted by the Aus
trian State Reggie, which at present en-
trusts its purchases to one or two spec
ial agents, thus eliminating competl-
ton, threatens still further to compll-
cate matters To effect remedy to
this state of affairs negotiations have
been going on for some time past
among the principal interests, and it is
now proposed to reduce the number of
fields planted by each of the companies
by twenty per cent. OF course, this
need not mean corresponding decrease
in the crop, as the yield depends on the
weather and other natural forces; but
in any case material reduction in the
acreage must have very decided in
fuence on prices. At first reduction
seems to have been designed by some
the big companies only, but the plans
have now assumed a much wider scope.
1t is proposed to exclude new tobacco
companies, which may be established
during the life of the agreement, from
the benefit of the Amsterdam market,
by arranging SO that brokers will not
operate for them, while the existing
companies would have to bind them
selves neither to plant more fields than
may be allotted by the joint committee
nor to take any interest in new ven
lures. If this plan materializes, a very
important step will have been taken
towards unifcationEof the interests of
all Sumatra tobacco companies, which
will enable them to get prices their
own way round For the time being
the market is still in waiting mood,
and prices of tobacco shares have
scarcely moved at all.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The prospects for the new tobacco
crop have improved wonderfully of late.
The much desired warm weather has
come, which in connection with fire.
frequent rains that kept the soil well
saturated, has sent all vegetation ahead
with amazing rapidity. Under such
conditions the plant beds are making
phenomenal growth and fast making
up for the delays earlier in the season.
It seems quite certain now that many
growers will find their plants will be in
readiness by the time they can prepare
the fields to receive them, which ought
not to be very much behind the usual
transplanting season in this state.
Plant beds on many farms will need
transferring to the fields by the 18th
and possibly before that date which will
mean that growers cannot lose much
time in getting their fields ready for
the crop. So, even though the season
may be late in starting out, reason
able amount of seasonable weather at
the proper time helps bring about re-
covery very quickly, and the tobacco
crop which goes into the fields after the
summer is well under way seldom suf-
fers.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1909-06-04

A correspondent writing from the
Pennsylvania tobacco growing district
says: It is pretty we'll understood that
in case the planting season is favora-
BILE, there will be an increase in our
acreage. Even at the low price of 10
cents, tobacco is SO superior as money
producer to all other usual farm crops,
that it has come to be regarded as the
farmers money crop. | hear of good
many new tobacco barns that have been
contracted for, which either indicates
that new growers are about to enter
the field or that the older growers are
increasing their housing capacity. There
are at least 10000 farms in Lancaster
county and more than one-half of them
nave tobacco barns, some only one but
a good many two, with new ones being
built every year. There are, / think,
suily $4,000, 600 invested in tobacco
barns in this single county of Lancas-
ter. Is it any wonder our people want
to keep out cheap tobacco and cigars,
for every pound of cheap leaf and every
cigar that comes from abroad displaces
so much of the homemade product.
