War with Germany is War
against This Country, De-
clares DR.. Dernburg.

ST. PAUL, MINI. Feb. 3-Dr.
Bernard Dernburg, the former colo
NAL secretary OF the German empire,
in an address here argued that the
logical sequence of the interruption
of trade between Germany and the
United States, through Great Brit
aims command of the sea, both
transportation and communication. is
that "the war with Germany is a
war against tho United States"
Trade with Germany.
The speaker, who is making a
series Of addresses, told OF the COM
lmercfal embarrassment now suffered
by Germany and the effect upon neu-
trial countries. After reviewing the
resources of this county and describ-
ling it as the chief purveyor to the
world Of oil, lumber: cotton and cop
per. DR.. Lernburg told of the situa-
ton in Germany, where about TO-
100000 people are living in a terri
tory not larger than California, which
means, he. said. about thirty-five
Germans to one Californian In the
same area. The country, he said,
was rich only in coal and potash, so
far as natural resources were cons
lcerned. $50 that German genius, Z
he said, has had to be applied in
the manufacture Of highly finished
goods, imported raw stuffs not only
7 for manufacturing purposes, but
also for the home consumption.
On this basis an enormous trada
has been established between the
United States and my country. or
cotton no less than 1850 900 bales
have been purchased here during the
last year. In copper, Germany is the
best customer OF the United States.
Tor wood and lumber her purchase In
this country has been constantly in
lcreasing."
DIR. Dernbnrg. supported by figures
issued by the department of conf
merce. told how these imports have
been paid for through an exchange
for commodities such as fertilizers.
Idye-stulfs, toys and innumerable ar
ticles which Germany by the most
AFFECTED system OF applied science
and technique is able to turn out
cheaply and in good quality.
The stopping Of German compa.
ltition on the sea means loss OF
$500, 100000 to the people OF the

On account of the evangelistic SER
vices which we're held in st. Paul's
Methodist Episcopal church, South
during the month of January, tn.
Woman's Missionary Society held its
first regular meeting for the year at
1880 o'clock Tuesday night. After the
devotional exercises Mrs. w. II.
Foglesong gave some items from the
Monthly Bulletin relating to the wom-
ans work, and Miss Mary Robey read
an excellent article on "Christian
Stewardship" The president, Mrs. H.
NJ. Wade, made gratifying compare
tive report of the work done the las,
two years. The several officers made
their annual report which showed
progress along all lines.
The amount pledged for the ensuing
year was very encouraging, being a
liberal increase over any previous
year. A mission study class was re-
ported with fifteen members. The
text book being used is "The Child
in the Midst" Mrs. W. H. Foglesong
is the leader.
