NEw YORK. Sept. s. 1o14.

NEW YORK, Sept. D, lSl4.
Mr.. p. II. Schunck. Celina, o.:
Dear Sir-We received your letter in
regard to the book accounts. You ask
me about postponing the advertising OF
names and accounts for sale until next
month (October), as some are paying at
the rate of SOC to Sl00 per week and
some are not paying at all. About the
publication and collection of these ac-
counts, you may leave this go until next
mouth and then publish from 80 to 40
names and accounts for sale, as by this
method you may get more bids on the
larger amount than on the smaller pub
lication of 10 to II names and accounts.
1t would be a good idea to keep on adj
vertising the accounts that were not
bought after the publication, and per-
haps when published in larger amounts
you will receive more bids than hereto
fore. You ask me how to proceed as re
CARDS the account of Mr.. Wesley Tohn-
son, who, you say, bought pair of over
shoes OF you and was to pay for them by
drayage. He hauled two or three loads
for you and then, to avoid paying for the
goods, he turned over to another draw
man the railroad assigned to him. Ac-
cording to the terms of our contract, YOU
are to keep on advertising his account
for sale until you receive bid or he
settles himself. If you want me to re-
duce your book accounts, you must stop
doing so much credit business. Do not
trust anyone for the next ninety DAYS,
and by that time your accounts will be
materially reduced. Trusting that YOU
follow our instructions carefully, we re-
main, Yours truly,

German industry already has been hit
by the war DR. Emil Lederer. the
writer. says that the removal of all
men capable of bearing arms has
smashed industry to atoms" All
links uniting various trades have been
broken The crisis with regard to
money and credit which occurred in
the first instance was accentuated by
the necessity Of financing the war by
a single stroke. The attempts made
to meet the crisis by liquidating assets
only made matters worse. The un
fortunate thing, he says. is that this
liquidation. which is customary at all
crises. does not in the present instance
affect merely small body of specu-
lators, but expresses the fact that Ger

by the war At present there is little
sign of this. We see the apparent par

of increasing absorption for military
purposes of men capable Of working
there is an increase of unemployment
among those that remain behind Even
the much sought after labor of women
cannot find employment Day after
day undertakings shut down or their
output is diminished. Those. indeed,
which continue at work are working
with aimless overpressure because of
uncertainty, so the net output is dimin
