over, Russia was developing its own
farm machinery industry by various
paternal measures
The United States was not in good
position for a tariff war. 1t needed the
manganese ore, the wool and hides and
skins, and the licorice root, and some
other special products Of Russia. To
have imposed maximum tariff on these
products would have been at the expense
of American industries which needed
them.
Russia, on her part, could have added
to the tariff tax on American agricul-
tural and industrial machinery without
touching cotton, which she needed for
her industries. Statistics of the ex-
ports of raw cotton from the United
States to Russia are widely divergent
from the Russian import figures.
The latter, however, are the correct
measure of importations, since they
account for American cotton that Is
received from England and Germany as
well as direct. The Russian statistics
show importations of American cotton
to the amount of $4O.000,00O to $50.000,-
900 annually.
Both governments were sincerely
anxious to continue the trade relations.
and, this being the sentiment, way
was found. It was discovered that
after the abrogation of the treaty Rus
STA, under its political system. could
continue to give American goods the
same tariff treatment that was ac-
corded to the products of other coun-
tries. This was done quietly and with
out friction.
American manufacturers were re-
lieved of their apprehension, and the

RUSSIAN WHITE PRIEST IN vEsTMENTs.

Much of the overseas traffic heretofore
has been carried in German and Eng
lish bottoms.
Russia's trade with the United States
In the past has not been extensive. yet it
has been too valuable for either country
to permit it to be lost. Russia's market
in the future promises to be immensely
more valuable. 1t is not likely that a
situation similar to that which arose
when the treaty between the two coun-
tries was abrogated will again arise The
trade diplomacy Of the Taft administra-
ton averted an interruption of trade re-
lations at that crisis.

action of Congress, and giving notice Of

ground for complaint on the part of
Russia as to the manner of abrogation.
The international amenities were OBJ
served, and Russia showed it's apprecia-
ton, but this could not prevent ill-feel-
ing, and the Russian government had
some difficulty in controlling national
sentiment
Secretary Knox, on his part, did not
find his path strewn with roses in keep
ing open a Russian market for American
goods. Threats were made of reprlSaiS,
and the zemstovs, or Russian co-opera-

W1HERE all the money Is TO come
M from with which the great war
in Europe Is being conducted
is a mystery to many. Yet for JUST
such a conflict as the present Germany
has been preparing financially Tor
years. And this hoard. which was
known as the war chest. or war fund'
was watched over carefully, but never
spent.
The beginning of the fund was in
1870, when Bismarck, having conquered
the French, compelled them to pay a
sum of many millions in gold to Ger
many. This was laid aside for nest
egg, not to be touched until the next
war came. In the meantime, Germany
went on accommodating money as well
as training her army and building big
guns.
In the Julius tower in the Citadel of
Spandau, in the province of Branden-
burg, Prussia, this treasure is stored.
Spandau is a town of several thou

other enterprises connected with the
army and was once the home of one

The beet is cultivated in various parts
Of the empire. but the larger districts

The Russian production of beet sugar
is more than sufficient for domestic
consumption. Russia was party to
the Brussels convention. under which
bounties were regulated.
While the convention was in force
Russia had surplus of beet sugar.
and usually was at odds with the
other parties to the convention as to
its rights to export. Since the agree
