run behind about three quarters of a

by urging prompt remittances by col

a book showing balance of about

a fictitious showing is now proven by
the fact that from the first, day of the

THE LUMBER INDUSTRY.

Washington, Aug. 4.-(Special Cor
respondence) Some startling facts,
coupled with some good advice, have
been laid before the federal trade
commission in its investigation into
conditions in the lumber industry.
The disadvantages under which
American lumbermen are now doing
business embrace, first of all, dis
tinct element in favor of Canadian
timberland owners in the matter of
freight rates, it being shown that the
Canadians. by reason of their strate
gical location, can send lumber into
the United States by the lake route
in foreign bottoms and make delivery
for 81 thousand feet to cities like
Milwaukee, Chicago, Bay City, De-
troit, Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo, To
nawanda, and New York, while the
average cost Of transporting the same
grades Of lumber by rail from Wiscon-
sin or Minnesota is from $3.50 to Sc
a thousand, or about 200 per cent
greater than from Canada. In some
instances this advantage in freight
rates is nearly ouO per cent III INC
Canadians favor.
IN addition to this, labor in Canada
averages fully Is per cent cheaper
than in the United States. TO ag
sravatc tic situation Canada offers
nothing in the way of reciprocal re-
lations, having imposed duty of 321s
pert cent upon dressed lumber and
~ per cent upon rough lumber, while
the United States has removed the
duty. BY having removed the tariff
on lumber the markets of our 100,-
100000 people are thrown open for the
benefit of the 100000 of Canada,
thus nflicting a useless loss upon this
industry. the American people, and
the United States government. 1T
would seem that the federal trade
commission would be warranted in
recommending to congress an ade-
quate import duty as a partial pro-
lection to the lumber industry, to la
Dor in general, and to the many di-
versificd interests that depend for
their prosperity upon the lumber trade
in this country.

Briton Talks Of Possibility Of Losing
War-Says Germany Would
Then Rule World.

Bangor, Wales, (via London)
March 1.-The chancellor of the
exchequer, David Lloyd-George
made pointed reference to the Unit
ed States in a speech here yester-
day.
"If Germany is Triumphant over
this country he said, "she would
be practically dictator of the world.
And where" he asked, could we
then look to chivalrous country to
protect us-to America?
''If countries like France and Rus
STA, with huge armies, and we, with
the most powerful navy in the
world, could not face this terrible
machine, how could America step
in? 1t would be more than Ameri-
ca could do to defend her interests
in her own continent. America is
more unready than we were"
The chancellor then took up the
liquor and industrial questions.
THE government has wide powers
to deal with the drink question and
it means to use them" he declared.
He said small minority of the
workmen employed in the armament
factories had refused to work a full
week because of the lure of drink.
eve need men, but we need arms
more than men and every day of de-
lay is full of peril to the country
he asserted. For one reason or an
other we do not get the assistance
we have right to expect from our
workshops. Industrial differences
are inevitable but we cannot afford
them now.
at is intolerable that the lives
of Britons should be imperiled for
the sake of a farthing an hour"
