of the Icelandic steamship Gullfoss, at
New York. May S. after a maiden voy-

been established a new trade steamship

In the past. Iceland has carried on
its trade almost exclusively with the
European countries nearest 1.-THE British
Isles and the Scandinavian countries.

however. the risks incurred by vessels
sailing to the North Sea and other naval
war zones. caused the Icelanders to look
about them for other countries with
which to open up new trade relations, and
America was selected.

WILSON EXPECTS BIG
ECONOMIC CHANGES
Requests Commerce Depart.
ment and Trade Commission
to Study Developments.

Confident that the end Of the war In
Europe will see an economic revolution
that may change oil trade standards Of
tho world. President Wilson. It was
learned today. has requested the De-
partment Of Commerce and the Federal
Trade Commission to keep a close
watch on developents with q view to
recommending any changes In the tariff
which these new standards might made
necessary.
The view Of the Administration is that
owing to the certainty existing as to
what will be the ultimate trade effects
OF the war. 1t 10 useless at this time to
make any tariff revisions. Such, II
necessary. would have to come later
on. On the one hand. the President has
been told that 1t the close Of the war
the belligerent countries would be
forced to speed up production to such
point as will throw cheap products on
the world markets and cause a slump
in prices in this country. On the other
hand. he has been told with equal posi-
tiveness that owing to the tremendous
loss OF life among the wage earners in
the warning countries there will be such
a scarcity Of labor at the close of tho
war as to result in increased prices.
Because Of these differences Of opin-
ion President Wilson has asked the two
departments to watch developments
closely.

Obituary-Wm. Campbell

Fifty-two years ago last July
President Lincoln issued call for
three hundred thousand volunteers
to serve in the Union army. Among
the number who heard and respond
ed was a young school teacher In
Morgan county, Illinois, named w.
M. Campbell. At that time he was
mature man with wife and children
dependent upon him. Leaving, but
not forsaking his loved ones he en-
listed in the 124th Illinois infantry
and for three years faithfully per-
formed a soldiers duty in all the
campaigns in which his regiment
had a part. When the war was over
and his work as a soldier done he
returned to his loved ones and be-
came one of the great host who has
proven to the world that volunteers
not only make good soldiers but
valuable citizens. Early in 1872 he
came with his family to this county
and settled on a homestead in sec
ton "a in Garfield township where
at 1880 a. m. January 13, 1915, he
answered the last roll call and went
to his final home to meet the loved
wife who had preceded him by two
years. Soon after returning from
the army he again became a district
school teacher and continued the
same in Kansas until he had reached
the allotted age of man, full three
score and ten years. Making EXCEPT
for the intermission caused by his
army service full fifty years as q
district school teacher, a record sell
dom If every equalled.
He was for many years an esteem
ed member Of Abilene Post and a
life long member OF the Christian
church. And we, his surviving COM
rades of the Post. wish to say well

honored soldier and sfaithful Chris

therefore, be it resolved by the
members of Abilene Post No. 81,

we tender to the bereaved children
and other relatives OF our deceased
