The INDUSTRIAL AND BUSINESS
CONDITIONS IN GERMANY AREI
REGARDED As QUITE SATISFAcT0

Berlin, March 30.-Via London, 1l15
A. M-The business situation IN Ger
many is regarded as fairly satistac-
tory and considerably better than
might have been expected in view OF
the war. All industries OF course, are
running on restrictive scale, chief
~ because OF the virtual cessation OF
overseas exports, but as a large pro-
portion of the skilled worilmen Went
into the army the sharp curtailment
in production was not attended by
corresponding increase in unemplay-
ment.
Lack of Men
More women and glrls are seeking
work in some branches of industry
than can find employment but this is
far from being the case with the men.
On the contrary the leading industries
of the country are seriously emoar-
raised by the scarcity of skilled
workmen. This is true of the coal and
iron trade. shipbuilding and certain
branches of the chemical industry.
A pronounced scarcity of Workmen
is reported from the great industrial
district about Essen. The demand for
coal is greater than the mines can
meet, although export has been pro-
Last month conditions in the iron
trade were reflected by an advance in
prices. The production of pig iron.
running about 80 per cent. of last
year, would be still larger if the ne
cessary labor could be obtained
Many branches of machinery manu-
facture, an important department Of
German industrial activity. are work
ing full time or overtime, but here
also a scarcity of workmen is felt.
Locomotive works are busy, while
shipyarGs evidently are working on
big government orders. Two companies
have stated in their annual reports
that they have work on hand to last
until 1916, and complain of "a lack Of
help.
Value of Potash
The expert CT potash was forbidden
two months ago because of the belief
that exports to neutral countries We're
being used to manufacture explosives
for France and England The prohi-
bition resulted in a sharp contraction
in this trade, especially with the
United States. Mine owners are seek
ing government permission to increase
the price to compensate them for their
loss
Textile factories turning out the eheaper
lines of goods are hampered by short
age of raw material. The importation
of wool has virtually ceased, and wooden
rags are in great demand for the making
of shoddy. Some mills have taken to
spinning shoddy yarns. Inadequate re-
ceipts of American cotton have raised
the price Of cotton yarns and cloths.
Weavers are trying to place long con.
tracts for yarns, believing prices will go
higher.
Silk Trade
The silk trade is doing fairly well, good
sized American orders resulting in HIGHER
prices for raw silk. The linen trade Is
hampered by lack of fax, which comes
from Russia. Bavarian peasants are
planning to devote considerable land to
this hitherto neglected crop.
The retail trade is active only in art;-
cies OF necessity as Injuries have been
very largely dispensed with. Dressmak.

WILLARD HAS MADE
PIN MONEY SINCE
HE BEAT BIG JACK

It's just trifle over seven months
since Jess Willard became the heavy.
weight champion, but in that time he
has earned approximately $214,0O0--
and not one dollar of it via the fight
route.
Willard spent 40 days doing circus
stunts. He was guaranteed $1,000 a
day-and he averaged $1,000. That
made his income from that source
total $16S,000. He got $4,000 for his
newspaper writings and another $20,.
600 or so through his theatrical ven
ture.
Two hundred and fourteen thousand
dollars in eight months! Yes, Oscar,
it surely pays to be champion.
Of his income, however, it is said
that Willard only got 60 per cent Of
the gross-about $3.50, 000-the balance
being divided among his managers.
Tom Jones, chief manager for Willard,
recently said that Willard has salt
ed" away sum close to 100000, des
pite the fact that he paid $4,000 to
Harry Frazee and Lawrence Weber
when he bought out their managerial
interest in him,
And now Willard plans to go back
into the fighting game. where $4,000
purses await him. If he retains his
championship as long as his heavy.
weight predecessors, 1t looks as If his
hopes will be realized-the earning of
$4,000 before his pugilistic star sets.

AFTER THE GAME.

New. Ravens popular song before
they met Harvard)
In the classic shades of Princeton
Sits a Tiger, sad and sick,
And he looks as though his features
Had been fiattened by q brick.
Both his ears were chewed to pieces
And he wears a busted Stat,
And the Halls of Nassau tremble
At the yowlings Of that cat!
My advice to other Tigers
Gather close and get II right
Is to keep away from Bulldogs
TIL you're sure they cannot bite"
In the Bowl at far. New Haven
Sits q Bulldog, big and grim.
And he grins the grin of yict'ry.
For there are no marks on him.
Now ne ticks his chops, contented,
AS he wags q stubby tail,
And New Haven's hills re-echo
With the fighting bark of Yale:
MY advice to other Bulldogs
Who would beat the Tigers jaws
Is to grab him as he crouches
And TO bite before he claws"
It is safe to tease q tiger
When You hold him by the tail,
But you shouldn't kid bulldog
When he wears the Y of Yale.

OLYMPIC CLUB
SURE TO COME
TOHONOLuLU
Ed Nell Makes Announcement
This Morning; Many
Stars on Club

Ed. j. Nell returned from the main
land yesterday morning and an
nounced that the Olympic Club is sure
to come to Honolulu during the Car
niyal. This announcement clears VI
the situation, and leaves no doubt in
the minds of the fans of the city. Nell
was appointed by the baseball com
mittee OF the Carnival to arrange al
matters for the trip, and the Honolu
lu man was assured that the San
Francisco club team would be here
with strong lineup.
Things are buzzing around the
Olympic Club now" said Nell They
are talking Honolulu every moment
and a squad of AZ men is out at Ewing
Field every day getting ready for the
visit to the Paradise of the Pacific
They are going to have sweet look
ing ball club, and although they will
not have any big leaguers as has
been announced they will bring down
a club that will surely make 1t inter.
esting for the local teams"
Prizes Offered Players.
Nell stated that President Hum
phrey of the Olympic Club had offered
two gold watches to the player with
the best all around average and the
best hitting average, and other mem
bers of the club are offering prizes to
the players II they win from the Ho-
nolulu teams.
A four9club league has been organ.
lied among the members of the Olym-
pics, and the leading players will be
given the trip to Hawaii Nell an
nounces that the league will continue
until few days before the trip and
the choice will be made just before
the squad leaves San Francisco. There
is no chance for argument on the
question of team strength, as most of
the players have been stars at col
leges and in the bushes The fist
of players having the best chance to
make the trip is: Catchers, Reardon
and Burke; pitchers, Bliss, Schammel,
Howedge and Martin; first base, Nc
Grath; second base. Benn; shortstop,
Rippon; third base, Traumatolo; out
field and utility, Elmer, Barker,
Muhl, Swanton and Kennedy.
Strong on Hilltop.
When Bliss and Martin went out for
the squad at Ewing Field the batter
expressed concern. These two heav-
ers have been going like house afro
and with Dutch" Schammel and mid:
get" Howedge to mount the hill top,
the Olympics will be well fortified in
this department Reardon and Burke,
exist Mary's players, are up to the
standard of backstops in the bushes
and will likely be picked to make the
trip.
Infeld possibilities are many, of
course, but If any quintet can beat
out McGrath, Swanton, Benn, Rippon
and Traumatolo they will have to hur.
ry. McGrath has played in the bush
leagues, and has made good. Swan
ton was In the old California State
league. Benn and Rippon have played
in the Trolley league, and Chauncey
Traumatolo was one of the best third
basemen ever developed at Santa
Clara. The outfield candidates are
many, but all are up to the standard
