will it be before England can hope to
restore it's actual trade conditions to
that measure of prosperity which char
acterized the year 1913?
No nation ever prospered by the ruin
of it's customers. Commercial compe-
This is evident in national commerce,
and it is more emphatically true of in
ternat1onal cza-merce. No greater dam
age has been lone to the world by de-
liberate criminals than has been done
by those false so!dier-economists who
have taught the absurd doctrine that
the way to extend trade is to destroy
commerce.
The American cotton crop cannot be
marketed and the cotton planters are
desperate: the Brazilian coffee grow
unmarketable. coffee; the Indian and
Chinese tea growers cannot know that
the cargoes they send over the seas
will find a haven in market port or in
the bottom of the sea. Such are the
losses imposed upon neutral countries
They are as nothing compared to the
cost of the war to the belligerents.
The war. as it is now carried on. is
requiring the daily expenditure of
about $4,000. 0oo-all of which Is. of
course. absolute waste, SO far as pro-
duction is concerned. This takes no
account of the economic loss sustained
pean men from productive enterprise
and placing them in the destructive
business of wholesale pillage, rapine
and murder.

in Europe can be imagined. And yet we
are asked to believe that war Is an
efficient agent for the encouragement
of commerce and the expansion OF
trade.
This represents maintenance alone
and takes no account of stocks of am
munition or the maintenance of ships.
automobiles and aircraft. Including
these things. the &c man cost would
appear to be at least sS.500.000 a day.
The allotment of a similar cost to
France, Russia and Austria would make
their combined outlay around $780,
600. 900.
There is excellent authority for the
statement that during the first few
weeks OF the war the cost to Great
Britain was little less than 100000
day. but the British expenses have in
creased rapidly with the expansion of
the army and the purchase of new
equipment. Still. putting the cost con-
servatively at 100000 a day, this
would bring the total up to about 1884,.
100000.

Export and Import
Trade Affected.

port trade is demoralized. our whole
financial fabric is shaken, and we dare
not open the doors of our stock ex-
changes. 1t is true that We have
avoided moratorium and have been
paying our debts with reasonable
promptitude, but there is nothing in
the war situation that affects America
that is not to some degree harmful.
Among the excuses for war, the one
most frequently advanced and most de-
terminedly defended is that pent-up
nation must make war to expand not
only its territory, but it's trade. Among
a certain school of economists pro-
foundry indebted to the militarists for
their morals. it is held that d nation
owes it's people the highest duty of
extending their opportunities for trade
by an ever widening expansion of it's
military influence.
How any person not blinded with
powder smoke or not drunk with blood
could defend such fallacy, in view of
what has happened in the world within
the last three months, is almost be-
yond belief.
If Germany started the war to extend
its trade, even granting that it will
gain the victory in the end of the war,
how many years will it take to build
up the sea trade the Germans have al
ready lost? How many years will 1t
take for newly gained German trade to
pay the enormous money losses sus-
tanned in the actual expenses of the
war?

if this figure is too high. it will lie

DOES IT PAY?
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Some time-may it be soon-the busi-
ness of war will have to answer to the
world the question. Does it pay?'
Economists who are free of military
influences agree with practical unanim-
ity that war can never answer that
question satisfactorily. Books. such as
those written by Mr.. Norman Angel,
and aphorisms. such as Ben Franklin's
oft quoted. There never was a good
war or a bad peace" have represented
this point of view in the realms of lit
erature. Unfortunately, writer's of his
tory have too often subordinated the
economic to the military phase Of de-
velopment. There was need. therefore.
for facts to bolster up the contentious
of those peace advocates who declare
that war is waste, unrelieved and I'M
mitigated.
In the present great war much atten-
ton Is being paid to this economic
phase. We Americans are giving it our
attention, because we cant help our
selves-we are not in the war, we had
no responsibility for beginning it anu
no power to end it, yet We are suffering
from it's effects.

barley and rye matured this season.
The vegetables Of the garden we're
the best ever grown here on the is
land. Potatoes were of better quality
than ever before and the yield was
good.
The native grasses on the hillside
furnished abundant pasturage and
hay for the cattle at the settlements.
In the valleys most of the grass was
covered too deep to get through the
ASH but that which did get through
made a very heavy growth.
Sufficient hay and silage was raised
at the station for the small herd of
sheep and the teams. The cattle
taken to the states last fall will be
brought back next spring.
Some fifty head will be offered for
sale at Chehalis this fall and only the
best mixers of the herd will be re-
tanned. Those for sale are OF the
best beef type, for which they have
been selected for years. There will
be a few that will be saved for the
dairy work, and by careful selection
and actual test in the dairy these
will be known by their performance.

they are. They are excellent for en-

also claimed that eating them, simply
cooked, once day for five or six
weeks, will clear the complexion,
redden the cheeks and make the hair
glossy. Farmers especially know
their value in stock feeding to make
the coats smooth and glossy.
