MAHOGANY LOGS
FROM N. AFRICA
STEAMSHIP CHISWICK REACHES
PORT WITH LARGE CARGO,
WHICH WILL BE DISCHARGED
AT THE RAILROAD DOCK.

With a cargo of logs from the west
coast of Africa, the steamship Chis
wick was officially reported yester-
day, and was berthed Immediately
upon arrival a the railroad docks
The steamer will likely discharge the
entire cargo on cars, and thence logs
be shipped direct to inland points Of
destination.
Tt will require some two weeks to
discharge the steamer in the manner
above indicated, as each car is loaded
for transportation of the logs many
miles distance. 1t was stated that the
entire cargo will be discharged at
Pensacola, however.
The ChiswiCk left AKIN, on the
West African coast, early in Novem-
Der and came on direct to Pensacola.
Nothing of Importance tranSpired
during the voyage, according to state
ments aboard the ship yesterday.
This same steamer was in port in
August of this year going hence after
discharging part of a cargo of ma
hogany to London, and leaving here
only a few days after the European
war had been declared. She arrived
from Belize August 4, and discharged
all logs on her deck, and a few from
below and then steamed for London.
Thence the steamer went to Las Pal
mas an6 later to AKIN, reaching that
port in the month Of October.

Germany Has Plenty of
Food for a Year.

Since the embargo on all imports
into Germany has become effective,
many estimates of her resources both
t,v her own authorities and by others
have been published, in which con-
siderable differences Of opinion have
been expressed A careful and COM
prehensive survey of the subject is
made by writer in the Scientific
American and his conclusion is that
Germany has sufficient food to last
for at least a year.
Germany's extraordinary isolation IN
both the military and commercial re-
lations of the empire has been fully
noted in the daily press; and much
has been made of the fact that she
usually imports about third of the
wheat she uses, and all Of certain tex
tile materials, such as raw cotton and
silk. 1t has been confidently predict
ed that the war will result in the
ruination of her foreign trade and the
utter prostration of her industries;
while it seems to be assumed, with
out much evidence of any careful
study of the situation, that in the
matter of food supplies particularly,
the war will quickly lead to scanty
fare, If not to widespread hardships,
from actual lack of food.
But this notion, while it has some
thing to support it, fails to grasp
the fact that Germany can support her
self on her home resources for fully
a year, and that this capacity for self
support in the fact of a universal en-
barge has a very high military value.
It is probably true that long before
next August, if the war were to last
as long as that the people of Germany
would be put to many shifts from their
usual mode Of living. They might,
greater part Of their annual produc-
ton of some two billion bushels of
potatoes which are now mostly used
in the production Of industrial alcohol.
In the absence Of imports of raw cot
ton, they would undoubtedly have to
economize on stockings, underwear,
and shirts. But they could very well
do these things, and many others that
necessity might require, without any
real bodily suffering The South, in
our civil war. cheerfully endured pri-
vations much greater than any of a
material sort likely to afflict the Ger

the half a dozen steamers which have

load out with the cake. things would
likely have been exceedingly duh

1t is stated that another steamer is
to follow the one which arrived yes
terday, and this will probably COM
plete the first contract movement of
10000 tons. Should the second con-
tract be landed. however, it will mean
another active period of exports from
