PUT BATTERIES IN WHITE.
German Ruse When Snow Falls Puz-
Zles the French.

A device by which the Germans
have helped winter mask their bat
teries in the field in northern France
is described in a letter written to the
Frankfurter Zeitung, by Journalist
now serving as an artillery officer at
the front.
For weeks, he said, the German
batteries in shifting positions had
been hurting their iron hail against
the French near Lille. Then. snow
fell, covering the landscape in white.
In vain the French officers on obser-
walton sought to discover the German
batteries as on the day before by
watching for the sup-glint on the
metal parts. Everywhere there was
but an unbroken stretch OF white.
The Germans, the writer explains,
had turned each battery into white by
wrapping the wheels and gun car
riage with white towels, sheets, and
curtains and stretching white sheet
in front of it. Suddenly a centra'
match in the white sheet was drawn
away. and the white nose Of the can
non was pointed upward through it.
The very artilleryman who touched it
of, the correspondent adds, was
dressed in white from top to toe in a
ludicrous long nightgown, and the
entire battery and its crew were quite
indistinguishable amid the white of
the snow-covered landscape.

ernments in this very field of compe-
tition?
American merchants feel that
they are at very considerable disad-
vantage in contending against that.
The matter has been many times
brought to my attention and I have
each time suspended judgment, be-
cause in this matter I am from Mis-
souri, and I want to be shown this:
I want to be shown how that COM
bination can be made end conducted
in a way which won't close it against
the use Of everybody who wants to
use 1t.
What I would like very much to
be shown, therefore, is a method OF
cooperation, which is not method
Of combination, not that the two
words are mutually exclusive, but we
have come to have a special meaning
attached to the word com bination.'
Most of our combinations have safe
ty lock and you have to get the COM
bination to get In I want to know
how these cooperative methods can
be adopted for the benefit of every
body who wants to use them, and 1
say frankly, If I can be shown. that, I
am for them.
eff can not be shown that, T am
against them, and hasten to add
that hopefully I except that can be-
shown"
The president said that he hoped
the organization would take steps to
discover the opinion of the small mer-
chants and bankers in the country
districts on the subject.
GAS a matter Of fact" he con-
tinued, you do not have time to
think in city.
There are thinking spaces in this
country, and some Of the thinking
done is very solid thinking indeed:
the thinking Of the sort. of men that
We all live best, who think for them
selves, who do not see things as they
are told to see them, but look at them
and see them for themselves, and if
they are told they are white when
they are not white, plainly say that
they are black; men with eyes and
with a courage back Of those eyes to
tell what they see. The country is
full of those NEIL"
Experience has taught him, the
president said, not to try to dominate
any conference called to get the best
solution of a problem because "eom-
mon counsel always brings the best
results. :.
'It is splendid thing to te part Of
a great wide-awake nation; it is a
splendid thing to know that your own
strength is infinitely multiplied by
the strength Of other men who love
the country; it is splendid thing to
feel that the wholesome blood of a

ers based this Republic"

ton committee and author OF the bill,
declared the fight for restrictive i'm
migration legislation would continue.
1--WE lost by a very narro'7 margin, "
he said, "and swing of few votes
ould have passed the bill. The fight
will be made again in the next con-
gress."

Germany Warns Neutrals to Stay
Away From English Waters.

The German admiralty Thursday
issued the following communication:
"The waters around Great Britain
and Ireland, .lcluding the whole Eng

from and after February 1S.
Every enemy ship found in this
zone will be destroyed, even if it is
impossible to avert dangers which
threaten the crew and passengers.
"Also neutral ships in the war zone
are in danger as in consequence of
the misuse of neutral flags ordered
by the British government on Janu-
ary 81, and in view Of the hazards OF
naval warfare, it can not always be
avoided that attacks meant for enemy

Let me say, if I may say it without
disrespect, that I do not think you
are prepared to give it right away.
You will have to make some rather
extended inquiries before you are
ready to give it. What I am think
ing of is competition in foreign mar
kets as between the merchants Of diff
ferent nations.
II speak of the subject with GER
tain uegree of hesitation, because the
thing farthest from my thought is
taking advantage Of nations now dis
abled, from playing the full part in
that competition, and seeking a sud-
den selfish advantage because they
are for the time being disabled. Pray
believe me, that We ought to elimi-
nate all that thought from our minds
and consider this matter as if we and
the other nations of the world were
in the normal circumstances Of COM
merce. There is normal circum-
stance of commerce in which we are
apparently at disadvantage.
Our antitrust laws apparently
make it illegal for merchants
in the United States to form combi-
nations for the purpose of strengthen
ing themselves in taking advantage
of the opportunities Of foreign COM
petition. That is a very serious mat
ter for this reason: There are some
corporations and some firms, for all I
know, whose. business is great enough
and whose resources are abundant
enough to enable them to establish
selling agencies in foreign countries.
The question arises. therefore.
how the smaller merchants, how are
the younger and weaker corporations.
