Following is a copy OF a circular that
is being handed to Americans leaving
Germany:
A FAREWELL WORD.
AMERICANSl
Citizens Of the United States!

Citizens Of the United States!
In this earnest moment I'm which you
are leaving the soil of Germany and Ber-
lin, take with you from German citizens
from representatives Of trade and in
dustry, who are proud TO entertain
friendly commercial relations with the
United States, a hearty farewell coupled
with the desire of a speedy return
Together with this farewell we beg you
to do us favor. As our guests, whom
we have always honored and protected,
we ask you TO. take this paper With you
as a memorial and to circulate the same
among your authorities, press, friends
and acquaintances.
For. we are well aware that the enemies
of Germany are at work to make you
the instruments to lower Germanys peo-
pie and army In the face of the whole
world in order to deceive foreign ma
tions as to Germany's policy and eco
nomical power We ask you as free citi-
zens face to face with free citizens, to
circulate the real truth about Germany
among your people as compared to the
lies of our enemies.
We beg you to take the following main
points to heart:
/. The German emperor and the Ger
man nation wanted peace. The cunning
and breach of faith of our opponents
have forced the sword into the hands OF
Germany.
2 After war has been forced on us the
herman naUOn, emperor ana ftelCnblaS
have granted everything in the most
brilliant unanimity for the war. No diff
ference prevails in Germany any longer,
no difference between party, confession,
rank or position, but we are an united ma
ton and army.
3. Our military organization and our
mobilization has proceeded with splendid
precision. The mobilization was accom-
pllshed during the course of a few days.
In addition to those who are compelled to
serve, more than 100000 volunteers
have offered their services. All civil or
CARNATIONS, from the head OF industry
and finance to the smallest man down
ward, vie with each other in words of
voluntary aid and welfare.
4. In the field German arms have had
splendid successes in the first days of
mobilization.
In the east the Russian enemy has been
driven from the German frontier. In
numerous small fights by our troops in
conjunction with those OF the Austrian
successful coup de mains our navy has
been successful in damaging and alarm
ing our Russian opponent in its Baltic
naval ports. The Russian port Of Libau
has been burnt down and IN Russian Po-
land revolution has already begun. Rus
sian mobilization is a long way from be-
ing accomplished, the troops are badly,
poorly nourished, end many deserters
sell their wagons and horses.
In the west the German army has
gained imposing victories over Belgium
and France.
In Belgium. where the population I'M

barous atrocities against peaceful Ger

mans before the war broke out sompar-
atively weak German forces conquered
the strong fortress of Biege Few days
after the mobilization, inflicting severe
damage In the enemy and opening up
the way via Belgium to France.
Valuable victories have been obtained
over France on the Alsatian frontier to-
ward the strong French fortress OF BEL
fort as well as In the direction OF the
fortress L.uneville. At Muelhausen one
and a half French army division were
overthrown and driven back over the
frontier with heavy losses.
The strong and effective German fleet
is on the watch against the English fleet.
Englands risk is great in stalking It's
reputation as the strongest naval power
on one throw against the German fleet.
Further, England runs the danger that
its large colonies. such as India ana
Egypt, will seize moment that has been
long desired to revolt.
1t Is for the United States to utilize
the present moment to Illustrate by pow
erful initiative England's endeaVor to
keep down all nations, including America,
in the trade and traffic of the world.
Citizens of the United States! Take
the conviction with you TO your homes
that Germany will stake It's last man and
its last penny for victory. Germany
must conquer and will conquer.
Remember! That after successful
ard economical progress and that
America, as a shrewd business-like state
and as a friend of Germany, VIII part-
cipate in such progress.
Today we beg you earnestly to convey
to your fellow-citizens that the German
nation, as the safe refuge of civiliza-
ton and culture, has always protected
the loyal citizens of its enemies In every
manner In contrast to Russia, France
and Belgium. BY circulating this short
memorial among your fellow-cttizens
YOU are lEewiSe ensuFing that also In
the future the United States will learn
the truth about Germany's battlesN and
victories. Your friends here will al
ways do the best in their power to sup-
ply you with genuine news. We wish
you a happy voyage toward your home,
so Appreciated by all Germans, and
hope to see you again In victorious
and prosperous Germany

One Stream Taken From ST. Lawrence
River Prevents City From
Being Ruined.

Montreal, Dec. 31-Fire which
threatened the destruction of this city
on Monday was finally brought under
control when water was obtained by
running mile of hose to the river.
This city has had water famine for
several days. The loss is placed at
$1,00O,000.
The fire started in a block of stores
and houses at the corner of St. Hubert
and Ontario streets. On account of
the lack of water. the fire department
was unable to check it.
At 2:20 o'clock 20 buildings had been
destroyed and the fremen were pre-
pairing to use dynamite in an effort to
check the flames.
The water famine that has prevailed
here since the breaking of a main sew
eral days ago. compelled the firemen
to fight the blaze with only one
stream from the hydrants and their
chemical extingufshers. In half an
hour the fire had swept through a
block. All the apparatus in the city
was summoned and every chemical
extinguisher available was pie ced In
the hands of firemen. From the block
where it started. the fire leaped across
the street to large automobile gar
age, where a series of gasoline ex-
plosions threw Jets Of flame in all di-
rections. At this point Chief Trem-
blay held consultation with his lieu.

NO HELP FOR CONSUMER
Washington Report Shows That Oni,
Middleman Profits by Big Output
Declares Exports Help Keep the
Prices UP.

Washington, Dec. 31.-Ten billion
dollars worth of products, $5,000,000,-
600 of cash income-a bumper year il
spite of droughts and other setbacks-
is the 1913 record of 100000 Ameri
can farms.
The value of the 1913 crops is twic,
as great as that of 1899; more thai
$1,000, 100000 in excess of 1909, ant
substantially greater than in 1912, al
though the quantity of production ha
fallen. Fourteen principal crops aver
age about 20. per cent. higher il
price than year ago, and 4.6 pc
cent. higher than two years ago. Thei'
total values average about 3.S' pei
cent. higher than year ago.
OF all the crops. it is estimate,
that So per cent will remain on farms
where they were produced, and tha
20 per cent, of the animal production
will remain. On that basis the casl
income is estimated by the depart
ment of agriculture at $5.S47 100000

public.
y
values and the fact that the numbes
of farms has increased II per cent
since 1910, the department does no:
believe lower cost of living will fol
low as consequence.
However desirable increased pre-
duction on farms may appear to b.
from the consumers standpoint" the
report says, ''it does not follow thai
such increased production would re
suit in any increase in the cash in
come per farm or per capita of farm
population or that prices paid by con
sumers would be any lower" says the
report. Retail prices are promptly
raised on prospect of underproduc
ton, but are very slow to decline Il
there is overproduction
''The high prices paid by consum
ers, ranging from to nearly 500 pei
cent. more than the farmer receives
indicate that there is plenty of room
for lowering the cost of farm products
to consumers and at the same time
largely increasing the cash income
per farm without increasing farm pro
duction.
This condition is undoubtedly G
marketing problem which will have tt
be solved by better organizations o.
farmers and improved methods o.
marketing.
The common phenomenon of rec
ord yield and crop value below tht
record, and of record crop value witt
low production, is presented by more
than half dozen Of the crops Of 1913
If the farmer gets high price, per
haps very high price in case of {
crop of low production, on the othel
hand he usually gets but low prices
for the crops which he produces il

1T seems to be overlooked" the re
port continues, that the farmers ar,
producing enormous surpluses for ex
port to foreign countries. Prices ar,
high in other countries as we'll as il

tural exports of domestic production
in the fiscal year 1913 was $1,123.021.
