$l57.000.000 in June; Ex-

A statement issued by the Depart
ment of Commerce yesterday shows
the imports and exports for June and
for the entire last fiscal year.
The total imports for June were $751;
$4,000 and the exports S26S,547, 900.
ton and food animals for the twelve
months amounted to 100000, 900, COM
pared with $4,000. 900 in 1914. Food
stuffs partly or wholly manufactured
also showed big jump, totaling $452,-
100000, compared with s293,000,0 600 in
1914. Crude materials for use in man
ufacturing showed a decrease from
1872, 000. 900 to $5os.oo0.00o. Manufac-
lures for further use in manufacturing
100000. Manufactures ready for con-
sumption jumped from s724,000,00o to
$S0S, 10000
The statement shows that in the
month Of June alone horses valued at
100000 and mules at S2,542,000 were
exported During the entire year the
value of horses exported reached the
enormous total of $64.oo0,o0o and Of
mules s12.726.o00.
Europe in the last twelve months
took s1.s7l, 200, 900 of American ex-
ports. compared with s1,4s6, 100000 IN

from 1884, 0oOOO to 1911. ooO. 900, and to Rus
STA from $4,000. 900 to sS7,0O0,000.

Great Britain has intimated that this |
increase of exports to neutral nations |
bordering on Germany was altogether alb |
normal. and indicated that Germany was |

New York, August u--Disappointment

THE SPOILERS

A melting pot of emotions is the
Spoilers nine reel film version of Rex
Beach's romance.
With Farnum as Glenister, Kathlyn
Williams as Cherry Malotte, the Alas
kan Dance Hall Artist, Thomas San
chi as Mcnamara, and Bessie Eyton
as Helen Chester, with such stars as
those playing the leading parts in the
Spoilers" the famed Rex Beach novel
of the Alaska Northland with such
characters as Devtry, The Broncho
Kid, Slap Jack, and the corrupted
Judge, all played to perfection, it is
not surprising that audiences in thea
tres like the New Strand in New York
and the Studebaker in Chicago, sit
spell bound through the two hours 1t
takes to the %photoplay. The scenes
are so vivid, the action so strong, the
%picturing of passions Of the lnen so
true, that n forgets he is watching
a picture play. He feels he is right in
the streets Of Nome, Alaska, living,
breathing, absorbing the life and at
mosphere Of the turbulent days of the
gold miners themselves.
This brilliant romance Of the gold
fields of our great northwest Is strong
in sentiment, is stepped in fierce prim-
tive passions, inspired by insidious
evils that invent the closing coils of a
great conspiracy to rob honest toll of
its golden fruit. 1t braves privations
with death ever imminent, day by
day, and through the long night of the
domain of the midnight sun. 1t has
the better and brighter things in con-
trasting figures to the rugged miners,
in sweet and refining, as well as re-
liant and i%mpervious womanhood, to
give it interest In unusual ways, sober
ing and inspiring as it touches the
hearts and actions Of rugged and bat
Ting men. These strong elements, in
the melting pot Of this romance, fuse
to make the great work intense, pic
t%uresque and potential beyond com
pare, as far as current production of
motion pictures is concerned.
Rarely has a more distinguished au-
dience assembled to see a motion pic
ture than the one hat saw the dress
rehearsal of The Spoilers at Orches-
ira Hall, Chicago, before its opening
at the Studebaker where it has play
ed for ten weeks to record breaking
crowds.
