RETAILING COST
IS TO GREAT
Not Undue Profits, But the
Methods of Doing Busi-
ness, that Causes Boost

Princeton, N. j., Dec. 31.-Prof L..
d. Weld of the University of Minne-
sofa presented one of the two princi-
pal papers at the afternoon session Of
the American Economic association.
The subject of market distribution
was considered by Royal Meeker,
United States commissioner of labor
statistics, and Prof. Weld, who dis
cussed the marketing of farm pro-
ducts.
Speaking of conditions in Minne-
sofa, Prof. Weld said: 1.-The propor-
ton Of retail price received by the
Minnesota farmer for commodities
sold in the Minneapolis market are
approximately: Butter, n per cent;
eggs, 50 per cent; potatoes, SIS per
cent: chickens, As per cent; milk, 37h
per cent"
Reasons for Wide Variations.
The reasons for these wide varia-
tions Prof. Weld asserted are the per-
ishability Of the produce, irregularity
Of supply. wastes and shrirkage, vol
un1e of business in the several COM
modities, and the relation between the
bulk and the intrinsic value Of the
commodities.
Analysis of cost of marketing vari-
Gus comm mod.ties shows that the retail
store takes nearly as large margin
as those taken by all other middle
men, including railroads, combined" !"
Prof. Weld said. THE high cost of
retailing is due to service rendered
and not to high profits, and it has
made possible the development of the
mail order house and the chain store,
and in other countries the co-operatiye
store.
Must Discover Weakness.
t"The solution Of the marketing
problem lies not in revolutionizing the
present system but in discovering it's
weaknesses and apply remedies"
Some of the defects of the present
wholesale system, Prof. Weld said, are

ENGLISH PAPERS

Declare Great Britain Must
Preserve Friendship of
the United States.

London, Dec. 31.-The newspapers
unanimously devoted the heads of
their editorial columns to the Ameri-
can note demanding that Great l5ri-
tain allow legitimate American ship
ping to proceed unmolested. Express
sions of the leading papers follow:
Pail Mall Gazette-"We should
bear in mind that America has
never adopted the silky tone of Euro
pcan diplomacy. We should not show
irritation at the brusque wording of
the note and should realize that there
mas always been mutual good will be-
tween the countries"
Anxious to Help Neutrals.
Westminster Gazette-"We desire
to do everything i'll our power to
mitigate the situation for neutrals, Yet
to prevent our checking contra band
traffic would be to intervene on the
SIDE or Germany, and we are sure that
this is not the intention of the Ameri-
can note"
I Evening Standard-"It is impossi-
Bile to think that tile president Of the
United States made this protest in, any
spirit OF hostility
largely one Of common sense. 1t is
unthinkable that two great friendly
nations would treat it other than in
q commonsensc way.'
Times-"The note is dated Dec. "a,
and, although the idea may seem fam
clful. we cannot help imagining that
1t was by no accident that the eve of
the great festival OF peace and good
Will was chosen for the dispatch of
this friendly communication from one
OF the great branches of the English
speaking communities to the other.
we do not suppose this is Il dispute
of our right as belligerents to practice
such interference with commerce be-
tween neutrals as is manifestly neces-
sary for the protection of our national
safety. What they do question, as we
gather it, is whether the action of
our ships does not in some cases en-
ceed that manifest necessity.

The note deals throughout with
unshaken faith in our sense of Justice.
That trust we shall assuredly do our
best to preserve. 1t is quite incon-

London Military Men Ex-
pect no General Offensive
Until Spring.

London, Dec. 31.-Military critics
are beginning to doubt whether any
determined effort to turn the Germans
out of France and Belgium will. be
made before spring.
Recently many observers jumped
to the conclusion. because OF isolated
thrusts by General Joffrc, that the
French and their allies were begin.
ming grand forward movement The
best informed students in London re.
jected this view. They held that the
activity in the west is merely to re-
mind the Germans that immediate
advantage would be taken Of any
heavy withdrawal of their troops TO
the east.
Foe Well EntrcncIled.
In competent quarters the fact ap-
pears to be accepted that the German
position in France and Belgium is too
strong to yield to a frontal attack,
however dogged. The Germans them
selves are regarded as having taught
this lesson by their fruitless sacrifice
in the movement toward Calais.
The allies policy is to hold great
German forces in the west while the
Russians develop their campaign and
while Lord Kitchener trains and aug
ments his large army.
Warships May Be Used.
With the advent Of spring this
army will take the field and even then
a frontal attack is not likely to be q
characteristic feature of the allies
plan. A frontal attack there will be
coincidental with q turning movement
along the Belgian coast, made possi-
BILE by the cooperation of British

meeting of the board Of school and

soldiers home bonds to the amount of
100000 were taken with funds that

MINUTE IS LONG
:. TINE IN Trench
Soldiers Regard Passing of
Time at Some Points as
Slow Process.

Saint Pol. France, Dec. S1.-Ger-
man prisoners of war work cheerfully
at the side of armed French guardians
in repairing the much damaged ma
tional highways in this region, Just
to the rear of the battle front The
prisoners are on the best of terms with
their captors, who sood-naluredly
share cigarettes whiffs from their
pipes and other luNur:es.
Prefer Trench Work.
In this region there is much activity
from morning till night on account of
the passage of great supply conveys,
interspersed with columns OF troops
proceeding ga:.y to the front to take
their turns in the trenches. The SOL
diers march at swinging gait toward
the firing line. Without exception
they express a preference for work in
the trenches rather than remaining
idly at their billets.
Time Drags Wcarily.
While the men are held in reserve
a short distance to the rear, they have
nothing to occupy their time, which
drags YEARLY They say that aside
from the time when they are sleeping
off fatigue each minute seems to them
like an hour. The postal service is
uncertain and they rarely receive news
from the rest of the world.
Roads Like QuaSmircs.
Almost every day there is IL change
in the weather. Today is marked by
:. hard frost, turning the roads into
long skating Kinks. on which the
heavy motor trucks are almost USE
less. Pedestrians are obliged to take
to the fields beside the roads. Thou

Grey offer the surest guarantee that
no effort will be spared to reduce the

every problem with the single-minded
determination to find an equitable So
luton"
Goodwill .of.U. S. Desired.
"One consideration which should
that the prize law which Great Britain
Is now enforcing is very similar to
the American practice. Also the ac-
tual conn cree under dispute is not Of
great pecuniary value to America,
while America would greatly benefit
from a shortening of the war through
the allies blockade. On the other
hand, the British government should
consider carefully the relative values
Of certain of its regulations and of
American goodwill"
Daily Chronicle-"Some amount of
inconvenience is inseparable from the
present state of worldwide war, and
it has been increased by the novel
methods, of maritime warfare inaugu-
rated by, Germany. The American
government has no intention of de-
parting from its much-prized neutral
it, so far as to infringe the belliger-
ent rights of England and her allies.
THE allies are quite legitimately
subjecting Germany and Austria Hun
gary to species of gigantic siege and
upon the efficient maintenance of that
siege their success. in the war must
largely depend. If individual Aineri-
can traders wish to defy it in order
to profit by the famine prices which
now rule in the besieged countries
for copper, antimony, petrol and other
necessities, they can do SO at their
own risk. ~.
Must Take Ships to Port.
1T is virtually impossible to .aban-
in harbors ,ifisteaT eaf sea, owing
to the great size ofmh hdefn merchant
men as compared,to did ships and ow-
ing to the tactics Of German subma-
rines in attacking British warships
from behind u screen of merchant vets-
sells. Unless detention in harbors Of
ships for search is conceded, the right
poses cease. The government, how
ever, should do everything possible TO
expedite such search"
Food Exports Declared Larger.
The Chronicle goes on to contend
that some Of the other American COM
plants have little substance. 1t gives
as an instance the complaint concern
ing exports of foodstuffs being severe
ly handled, and points out that Ameri-
can exports of food stuffs in Novem-
ber, 1914, were four-fo1d greater than
those of November, 1913.
With regard to the complaint about
copper, the newspaper points out that
while Scandinavia can send it's small
supply of copper to Germany through
the Baltic and not by way of Italy.
American exporters will almost b.
compelled to send theirs through Italy
Here, therefore. it says no question
partiality is involved.
In conclusion the Chronicle says J
feels sure the British government WI!
concede readily every point to tn
American government which is not in
consistent with its legitimate and sue
cessful prosecution Of the war.
