The Trade Of the Germans.

\ copy OF white paper" issued by the British
government indicates very clearly that Great Britain
is not so absorbed in the that she is relaxing
any efforts TO gain the German trade. On the con-
trary, would appear that renewed efforts being
put forth make inroads wherever advantage
appears.
The white paper is thoroughly comprehensive
exposition OF the situation abroad with special re-
ports from nearly all foreign countries 1t points
that German traders did business Of $2ooooooooo
year in the British dominons alone, and that not
everything German is unpopular. The paper con-
cludes THE words of the Trade Commission OF
New Zealand have special significance, and worth
repeating: Prompt overtures should be made so as
to anticipate competition from America"
Thus, so long Great Britain is able to maintain
the control OF the seas, will require every effort
the part of the business of the United States
capture the trade of Germany. Competition will be
as keen 1t will not be ours for the asking.
On the other hand, have one advantage that
is not nconsderable. Great Britain purchased from
Germany about $425yoooooo of merchandise which
should be able to sell her without great difficulty.

Threatened Shortage of Seeds.

There is going to be serious shortage in vege-
table seeds and consequently in vegetables, in this
country if the European is not over soon. The
same is true in the of many flower seeds For
tunaely for this country, however the great staples
such wheat and rye seeds, are supplied entirely
from our own soil, and the affect them in no
way.
At the Office of seed firm it was said re-
Gently that the vegetable seed situation is little short
of alarming Practically the entire supply of such
seeds beets, spinach, caulihower, and parsnips
comes from sections of Europe that are now para
lyzed by warfare There will be practically none of
these vegetables grown in America next spring TN
less the war ends by that time
Most of the vegetable seeds are brought from Eu-
rope because they can be produced more cheaply on
the other side. American farmers never have been
able to compete with their European brethren in this
respect The seeds can be produced however. in
this country and will be produced in all probability
if the war continues.
In the case of flowers the bulbs for tulips and
hyacinths and lilies of the valley come almost en-
tirely from Europe. At present the seed merchants
cannot see how they going to get a supply for
the coming season. They hope that the seeds will
come, but there is little doubt that the prices will be
increased very much
Besides vegetables the other agricultural product
to be affected is red clover. During recent wears the
seed for clover has been very largely Imported Al
ready there has been increase ranging from 10 to
IS per in the price of clover seed aAd il threat
ems to 60 higher.-New York Sun

Railroad Economy.

Except in isolated cases railroad earnings for
August are worse than Throughout, however
economy is the watchword, and big savings have been
made though always at the expense of the service
rendered passengers and shippers
Every means possible is being used to cut down
expenses For instance, among long list of "Donts
appearing in leading railroad Offices these days are
the following:
Don't throw the pins away when you clear up
your desk. Chances are they still have the sharp
point and be used again.
Don't large envelope for mailing the next
mans mail to him when small or medium size would
suffice. suit of clothes costs more than pair of
trousers
Don't throw away the top sheet of the writing

Those members of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission who believe that stockholders in railroads
all possess private cars will be somewhat disusoned
by finding that railroads have rules of economy that
go into the fraction of unit

HISTORY BUILDERS.
The Last Surviving Civil War Colonel
of Western Pennsylvania.
tWntten Exphesaly Ior ms defld.l
By DIR. z. J. EDWARDS.

While speaking OF the volunteers who
enlisted IN Western Pennsylvania at the
time of the civil war. Norman B. Ream
said to me recently that he had been
informed that the last surviving COM
mander OF q Western Pennsylvania vol
unteer regiment in the civil war was
Col. Edward Jay Allen, OF Pittsburgh.
Mr.. Ream was himself a volunteer in
one Of the Western Pennsylvania regi-
ments and was promoted for gallantry
in battle to q captaincy. He has always
taken a great interest in the Pennsyl-
vania volunteers and has recently been
occupied with the preparation of the his
tory of his own regiment.
I had an opportunity to learn from
Col Allen that Mr.. Ream was correct
in the statement that he Is now the
sole surviving colonel OF a Western
Pennsylvania volunteer regiment. Col.
Aliens career was divided, so to speak,
by his service in the civil war. He had
already had q most exciting sensational
career as one OF the pioneers who blazed
the path from the Missouri River to the
Pacific Coast. and in one OF his ex-
pedltions he entertained in his camp a
young army engineer who afterward be-
came a great general and, later, a candi-
date for the Presidency-George B. Nc
Clellan.
While that, Of course. was the most
interesting episode" said Col. Allen,
yet l think as look back that my eX-
perience in the development of the trans
portation systems OF the United States
has been after all the most important.
'One Of the great influences which
have caused the United States now to
equal, II not to exceed, the estimated
combined wealth OF Europe has been our
transportation. 1t is an extraordinary
gratifying reflection 10 me that 1 have
been able to witness all these develop
ments. Think OF it! Here I am still
alive and in fairly good health and yet
my career has been contempOraneous
with American transportation develop
ment
There was first the stagecoach. and
the stagecoach was the great incentive
in giving national aid to internal i'm
provement Henry Clay secured thou
sands OF followers because he obtained
Federal aid for good roads stretching
from the Atlantic to the agricultural re-
gions west of the Alleganies.
Il well remember when the stage
coach, the Conestoga wagon. and the
herd Of cattle raised vast clouds OF dust
along the national pixies. Today II Is
my good fortune to see the motor tourists
reviving the life and activity on the
pixies which were characteristic OF the
staEecoachers.
Then there was the second develop
ment-that OF the canals. / suppose that
today not one IN 10000 OF our people
ever made a journey on a canalboat
But in the sos and '+Os a heavy freight
and passenger trave! were chiefly by
canal Many great enterprises were un-
dertaken to finance and complete canal
