his coat; he wore black flannel shirt,

knot; had Wellington bootsS rather
tight, dark trousers, pea jacket and a
white sombrero hat. But the most as

lady's sealskin cape, which he wore
about his shoulders. fastened at the
neck by a fancy brooch, which also
held together bunch of half a dozen

loving hands without his knowledge or

POSSIBILITIES In
| EASTERN TRADE

New York, Oct. "A well known
Shangshai importer, now in the Unit
ed States. is urging producers here to
turn their attention to the far east
ern trade. American manufacturers
have the best opportunity ever pre-,
sented to develop great trade with
China now that commercial re-
lations have been suspended with the
warning European nations. E. L.
Koehler has been in the east seven
teen years, conducting an importing
house in China, dealing with goods
manufactured on the continent, han
ding many articles made in Austro-
Hungary, Germany and England.
Unable now to import merchandise
and other commodities from those
countries, he has come to this side to
substitute American made goods. He
believes there is good prospect for
American manufacturers to capture a
large part of the Chinese commerce.
Chinese merchants buy almost solely
articles with we'll established trade
marks and as many of these will
cease to be imported for some time
to come on account of the war, Mr.
Koehler said one of the things to be
learned is to export to China not the
goods it is assumed the Chinese trade
trade will take, but the class of pro-
ducts that far easterners demand.
He also suggests that Americans
should go after Chinese industrial as
we'll as government financing, the
same as England does, and in that
way secure government contracts.

FRANCE IN AFRICA

If Germany wins, France stands
to lose an empire which for half
century she has been silently build
ing up in Africa.
We who live on this side of the
water know little of the immense fer
tility of this African continent and
of Frances loot held there. We do
not realize that France is mistress
of nearly so per cent of a continent
which comprises one-fifth of the land
of the globe; that she holds nearly
one-half of an area larger than the
North American continent by just
two million square miles. Her ac-
tual holdings in Africa take in a rich
area nearly twice that of the conti-
mental United States. They reach
from the banks of the Congo river
to the shores of the Mediterranean,
and from the Atlantic seaboard to
the fertile valley of the Nile.
The newspapers here ere ravina
over the expenses of this European
war. The money spent in it is a
mere bagatelle to the wealth of en-
pire that may be won or lost by it.
England almost went to war with
France sixteen years ago because the
latter was too rapidly absorbing the
African continent. When Capt. Mar
chand took the territory covering the
water sources of the Nile, with the
ultimate possibility of diverting them
into the Sahara desert, the Fashoda
incident was created. England de-
'manded his retreat with war as an
alternative France withdrew Mar
chand, but the incident left a bitter
