AMERICA'S LOSS AND GAIN IN
 EUROPFS WAR.

That they European conflict may
 mark the beginning of a new com
 knercia1 and, industrial era in the
 United States, says an authority in the
 New York Journal of Commerce. is
 Hsct at all unlikely, and the question

 i7lfc benefit from the conditions
 thrust upon us, or profit only tempo
 rarily to suffer later crises of reaction. .Gepends upon the alacrity with which Ithe American business man will seize |the opportunity, and upon the wisd om with which the American legislator will face the situation. In this con- |nection, says the Literary Digest, we find much expert and editorial testi- nony to the fact that vaster more Intricate, and more rapid readjust- In1ents of industry are now called for than at any previous period in mod 'ern history. As to what we, in this country, are Co gain and what we are
 to lose, the New York Evening Post |cites as an authority Joseph French Johnson, dean of New York Univer- |sity School of Commerce. and says of him that he is optimistic as to the ef Ifect of the war on American agricuI- lure and the industries which cater largely to agricultural interests, vet believes that many industries will suf- fer severely The Post then quotes a Summarized statement of the chief items of profit and loss to the Ameri- lean people which appears in Dean |Jolnson's article on War and Am |erican Business" written for the Alex lander Hamilton Institute, and, acs |ccrding to the Post, based on an in- |yestigation conducted by the research |department of the institute. The sum- mary follows:
 Loss-C) The tendency to drain gold from this country, which must be offset by accommodating reserves, re-
 strictine credits, and avoiding infa-
 ton of currency. CD Closure of Eu-
 ropean market to American securi-
 ties and sale at low prices in this
 country, resulting in checking all per-
 nnanent financing and stopping new
 projects and construction that have
 not been financed; probable perma-

why all the carnage has been pre-
 cipitated-and in that will not be
 much worse off than many of their
 riders-wilI be killed by the tnou-
 sands Hence the opportunity for the
 American breeder, since the South American horses are said to be too
 light for good cavalry mounts and the Arabian horses not suited to the Eu- ropean climate. It is reported that
 capital is already being invested in great ranches for horse raising in the expectation of large returns in four or five years, when, if the war is over, there must be a dearth of horses for peaceful employment as we'll as for the remounting of the armies, even upon a peace basis. Such a dearth and the consequent higher prices for horses of all classes would obviously put premium upon the further de- velopment of the automobile, and the age become thereby more nearly a reality.

Figures issued by the interstate commerce commission show that dur ing the fiscal year 1913 total of 1,126 rersons were killed by railroad loco- motives or cars at grade crossings and IF killed on electric roads, in all 1,242 lives snuffed out. Statistics for the fiscal year of 1914 are not yet given out, but during the past three months thereof the commissioner re- ports APO people killed on steam road crossings and forty-six killed on trolley line crossings, total of 466. This amounts to. an average. of IA fatalities a month or four deaths every day for the fifteen months cov- cred by the reports.-Ansonia Sem tiniel a>' -r.'' ''-,~

NEX|CO'S NATIONAL
 BEVERAGE WONDER
Puque Tastes Like Sour Milk But
 Jag" Is Sure. ~.

Fl Paso, Tex, Aug. 29.-Puique is the national beverage of Mexico, but is consumed almost exclusively by the lower classes. One or two quarts of it will give you a capital joy. It sells retail from 1 1-2 to 2 cents a quart. It has a whitish- gray color, tastes like sour milk and smells like a skunk.
 This remarkable beverage is ex- tracted from a plant. or species of cactus, known as the maguey plant. This plant attains a height of six to eight feet, with the same width. It resembles very closely a giant arti- choke. Its leaves are frequently ten feet long, a foot and a half wide and ten inches thick. How is that for leaf? The juice (pulque) is extract ed in much the same way that you tap a maple tree. ....
 Seven Years Growth.
 The plant has to grow for seven years before it gives any pulque; then it is tapped, and it continues to give an average of one and half gallons every day for three months; then 1t , dies. When the plant is dead its great value then begins. From the stems of the lower leaves two other drinks are made-tequila and meZcal.
 These are very intoxicating, as clear as water, are drunk from small whis- ky glasses, and sell at from two to four cents a drink, about half m ounce. With the leaves of the plant they fatten cattle, thatch houses, make ropes, brooms, sewing thread, needles, paper, vinegar, N classes, caves troughs and many other useful things and besides these the Indians extract a worm from the leaves, which they cook, eat and consider a great delicacy.
 Filthy Stink Pots.
 The pulquerias-that is, the shops where pulque is sold-are mere filthy stink pots, patronized only by the lower element of both sexes. A so- Der man or woman is seldom seen to enter or leave these joints. They are drunk when they go in, and drunker 1 when they come out. Of course, d |, large can business is done, and you | can see girls and children of all ages | rushing the growler for the folks at | home.

 While admitting the opportunities
 of the United States to build up it's ex- port trade, Dean Johnson points out the difficulties of breaking into new
 markets, even when they are tempor- arily left open; and as for extending it's financial influence, he says that it is likely that the bankers of South America and the Orient will increase their deposits in New York-the only safe haven for the moment-and the New York bill. of exchange will tenn oyd1 Ivy <ol lxo fIo >F 1T T bfll. For the present however, we are confronted by a closed market for securities with no definite prospect of it's being reopened. Broadly speaking, only hand-to-mouth financing is pos sible
 striking feature of the situation, in Dean Johnson's opinion, is the un- even influence of the war on American industries. He says that we shall prob ably see, if the situation continues, certain industries and commercial or ganizations working at top speed and making enormous profits, while be- side them will be the empty offices and ] deserted factories of other industries. l
 There is scarcely business in the | country, he stated that does not need l immediate readjustment. It may not 1 be radical in most cases but it will | be enough in thousands of instances to make the difference between profit l and loss, between success and failure The read.ustment may consist simply | in revising orders for stock and raw materials: it may consist in reducing | or extending sales and office expenses; 1t may consist in securing additional capital for some big, timely expansion. Every business needs, more than ever, hawk-eyed watching and quick de- cision. .''.
 The Journal of Commerce presents an other authority in an article by Ed win R. A. Seligman, McVickar profess sor of political economy at Columbia university, who tells us that so far as the immediate effects of the war upon our chief raw materials are concerned. he prospects are not favorable to cot, ton, and perhaps a little less unfavor- able as to wheat and other food pro- ducts. This is our share, he explains, of the inevitable loss which is con- sequent upon so huge a war. ..l

He may not be as bad as Senator Tillman says he is, but ap- parently he is not good enough to be a senator, after what he has done as governor.-Hartford Times
