Business Of All Kinds Adjusting L.
self to the Necessities Of War
and Sea Traffic Gradually
Being Resumed.
BIG LOSS OF TONNAGE
Due to Withdrawal Of German Ships
Diminishing Tension In the FL
nanciai World a Help to
Business.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Gradually
but surely business of all kinds is be-
ing resumed, and the worlds COM
merce is adjusting itself to the neces-
sites of war. BY far the greatest and
most important basis of improvement
has been the partial restoration Of in
ternational trade. Traffic is now
practically safe across the Atlantic
and through the Mediterranean, two
channels through which much the
largest share Of the worlds COM
merce travels. The route to South
America is also practically open.
German boats, representing an en-
ormous tonnage, are of course out of
employment, and the sudden with
;drawal of so large q capacity must
continue to be a serious inconven-
fence. The loss Of tonnage will fall
most severely upon the passenger
service, but this class of traffic prom
ises to be exceedingly light for at
least year or SO to come. For
tunately freight transportation is be-
ing rapidly resumed chartering has
become much more active, and very
soon our wheat and cotton will be 20
ing abroad in liberal quantities. Ger
many will not be able to buy our grain
or cotton with any freedom, hut Eng
land must have both in large amounts
and will be able to secure them as
long as she can control the sea. This
helps matters very materially on this
side of the Atlantic and will lessen
or avert the loss that threatened our
southern and western farmers by an
EN- barge upon transatlantic routes.
The proposal of our government to
buy large foreign feet of merchant
vessels Is now unnecessary. 1t is I'M
wise for both political and commercial
reasons. Our government would be
entering upon an exceedingly costly
and losing operation for the purpose
Of meeting a temporary emergency,
which is rapidly passing away.
Another important sign Of improve
ment is the diminished tension in the
financial world. International bank
ing arrangements are being gradually
resumed, and foreign exchange opera
lions have now been reopened on the
continent on limited scale. The
New York stock exchange remains
closed and may not be reopened until
1t is known what the London ex-
change is likely to do. To open the
New York exchange under existing
conditions would be sheer folly, since
1t would make New York the dump
ing ground of all the needy sellers in
Europe and precipitate fresh democrat
ization in this market. Meanwhile a
business Of very considerable import
ance has been accomplished under

Rotogravure Method Used.

The rotogravure printing method ap-
pealed particularly to the employees OF
the bureau of engraving and printing
and the government printing ofhce
who know better than most citizens the
difficulties that have to be met in re-
producing so clearly on paper even the
best of photographs
Taking into consideration all the diff
fculties of war photography, not only
the danger and the difficulty of getting
within proper distance of the fighting,
but remembering that the very earth
is a-tremble and the atmosphere cloud
ed with smoke from the guns and
from burning villages. those who know
most about artistic printing are EN-
phatic in praise of the results achieved
in The Star pictorial magazine.
Among the most striking pictures
are full-paSe Illustrators of Gen. 10
seph Joffre. commander of the French
armies, and of Grand Duke Nicholas.
