FRANCES TRADE LOSS
IS S1,143,OOO,OO
Suffers Greatly In Commercial
WaySinC0 Beginning Of War.

Washington.-The war to date has
cost France more than 81, 100000
of her foreign trade, according to fig
ures sent to the department Of COM
merce by United States Consul Gen
eral A. M. Thackara at Paris.
OF this vast amount over $S00,00O,-
900 was sacrificed in the first four
months of. the conflict, up to Jan. l,
1915. In that period the republic also
was deprived of 100000 tons of wheat
grown on her own soil and seized by
the German armies occupying her
northern provinces. There was, too,
decrease in that time of 6,162 in the
in the number Of ships departing from
French ports
In the first three months of 1915 the
loss in Frances foreign trade was near
ly 1914, 100000, being $411 100000 as
against $755 100000 in the same period
In 1914.
The imports since the first of this
year have been $2S6,O00000 as against
$442, 100000 and the exports have been
1925, 100000 as compared with $312,-
100000.
The imports of foods fell off $780,
900, those of industrial materials $780,
100000, while those of manufactures,
mostly war munitions increased over
$7000,00O.
The exports of food products de-
creased nearly 100000, those of in
dustrial materials over $64,O0O,O00 and
manufactures $96,O0O,000.
TIE imports into France in 1914 to-
tailed $1,225, 1897 900 as against $685.
$4,000 in 1913, and the exports from
France in 1914 were 1891, 1000 as
compared with $1,327, $4,000 in 1918,
decrease of 1896, 751 900.
The crushing extent of the blow dealt
by the war is shown by the fact that
in the first six months of 1914, before
hostilities, Frances foreign trade in
creased $33,391 900.
The tendency Of the war toward eco
nomic exhaustion is indicated by the
fact that the decrease in imports and
exports was almost entirely in mate
rial for the industries and in manu-
features.
The United Kingdom suffered less
than any other nation by reason of the
decrease in French trade, and the Unit
ed States came next. The Belgian
trade was almost entirely destroyed
through the occupancy of that king
dom by the German armies. The ship
ments from Belgium to France In 1914.
before the war, were valued at $780,
100000, while the shipments after the
war began, up to Jan. l, 1915, were
only $677.0O0.

EATS FIRST REAL MEAL
after SURGICAL PROBE
Drank Lye When a Baby---Un-
able TO Eat For Sixteen Years.

St Louis. Miss Katherine Besse,
eighteen years old, ate the first break
fast, luncheon and dinner she ever ate
In her life few days ago. For SIX
teen years she had not tasted COM
pletely food of any description. The
channel Of her throat, the esophagus,
was in position, but was entirely USE
less until DR.. Francis W. Kirsch per-
formed an operation known as gas
trotomy and brought her back to nor
mall
When she was two years old Miss
Besse, who is the daughter of the wild
ow of u grocer, drank q solution OF
lye while her mother was busy at her
homework.
The lye burned away the membranes
Of the childs mouth and the lining OF
her esophagus and caused this channel
from her mouth to her stomach to be-
come strictured and to close tightly.
A physician who was called to at
tend her said she would die unless her
esophagus was cut loose from her
stomach and new one made from
parts of the stomach fashioned into a
tube and sewed to the surface of her
breast
Her parents refused to permit the
physician to cut away the deadened
esophagus but granted him permission
to bring the lining of the stomach to
the surface of her body and make an
opening near the solar plexus, through
which liquid food might be given her.
DR.. Kirsch became interested in the
case. He began a gentle probing with
slender pliable steel rod, which he
forced down her esophagus. One after
another the closed places In the old
tissue were forced open and broken
apart. AS they were broken they were
left attached to the inside of the new
tissue that gradually had grown
around the unused tube.
Nature then began its process of alb
sorption until the new throat was clear
of any structure. Then the surgeon
placed the patient under an anaesthet-
ic and swiftly cut away the stitches
that held the lining of the stomach to
the old opening in the breast, sewed
this together and dropped it in place
sewed together the muscles that had
been severed sixteen years ago, cut
away the abnormal tissues that had
grown around the wound, stitched the
severed skin together and when Miss
Besse awoke from the ether told her
she had become normal again.

Orders for War Material Still Coming

In the press dispatches of yesterday
we note the following in regard to the
further purchase OF war material ano
supplies: New war orders received in
America add to the stupendous sums
being spent for war munitions and sup
plies. Italy is spending ST., 100000
with one concern alone, in Bridgeport,
Conn. The plant makes projectiles
and will be kept busy for over a yeal
filing the order. The contracts now
being worked on in the Lehigh valley
reach the great totol of 5000, 100000
Besides the Bethlehem steel works,
other large concerns are working night
and day turning out shells and shrap-
mel.
The French government is asking
for bids for 1000, 900 shells valued al
So each, and for about 100000
worth OF shrapnel. In Hartford, Conn.
work on 81, 100000 worth Of munitions
is proceeding. The Colt, Remington,
Winchester and Smith & Wesson plants
are working overtime. The Dupont
powder plants are being constantly ex-
tended, as are those Of the Bethlehem
Steel company.
Baltimore manufacturers are handling
81, 100000 in contracts for projectile
material 1t is estimated that Canadian
firms are working on war munitions val
ued at $156. 100000. The Canadians
are now turning out 10000 shells a
day and expect to reach $4,000 day.
Montana horse owners have already
sold the warning nations three million
dollars worth of horses. This week
agents of the European governments
have been at Dillon, Montana, arrang-
ing for the further shipment OF horses.
The dispatch states that Montana horses
are preferred because they are superior
to others for food purposes. After
horses are crippled and rendered unfit
for use as horses they are killed and
supply the troops with an excellent
quality OF fresh meat.

turning to New York, he attempted to
regain his wife. His offers were
spurned. Then followed his $250,0OO
suit charging alienation of affections.
After hearing the evidence Justice
Hough dismissed the suit and pro-
pounded what he said was a theory of
law designed to cover such cases and
to minimize the scandal and discourage
the institution of "such sordid demands
as have been here exhibited" He held
that while parental authority may
terminate with marriage, the parental
relation continues and that no parent is
bound at the peril of successful suit
for damages to approve of his child's
marriage.
There is a duty to pursue this
course because litigations like this have
been happily almost unknown in the
national courts, and no decisions of
binding authority at present control the
action Of this tribunal. A plaintiff who
in plain language sought pecuniary con-
ISOLATION from a wealthy father-in-law
who refused to show by payments of
money or the furnishing Of business
opportunity his appreciation of that
plaintiff as son-in-law would be out
of court upon his own statement.
"All suits such as this. whether pro-
NOTED by or against the rich or the
poor, rest. on the same legal basis
namely, the alleged wrong of the de-
PENDANTS In depriving the plaintiff of
the society, affection and services of
wife or the protection, support and at
lection of husband as the case
may be.
But when the defendants are not
strangers, but parents, the family rela-
ton, which antedated matrimony,
greatly modifies the law and has pro-
duced considera BILE number of opin-
ions in all parts of the English speak
ing world not capable of reconciliation
and furnishing help to almost any con-
tention related to what are commonly
called alienation suits.
1.-THE doctrines preferred by me and
so far as | am concerned to be en-
forced are these: The parental author
ity may be admitted to terminate with
the celebration of lawful marriage by
the child. and even parental power and
influence (as distinguished from au-
thorityl must thereafter recognize the
creation by marriage of status pro-
tected and favored by laws quite as
ancient us those enforcing the duties
and responsibilities of children, fathers
and mothers"

So per week for..femaIe Help in Hotels

The Washington Industrial Welfare
Commission has established 50 as the
minimum wage for all females OF 18 or
over employed in hotels and restau-
rants, or other places where lodgings
are supplied or food prepared, this or
der to take effect August II, The
minimum wage rate for girls under Is
is $3.50.
If board and room are given in par
tial payment the deduction on this ac-
count must not exceed IS per week.
The welfare commission rejected
the recommendation OF the conference
that 81 be fixed as the statewide
minimum wage for mattresses. Altho
finding that frequent changes of attire
demanded in the large cities would
Justify such a minimum wage, the
commission found that application OF
this rule to smaller places would work
an injustice, and new conference will
be called, with the intention of arrang-
ing different wage scales dependent
upon population or other conditions.

Some Forms of Rheumatism Ohraoie
Rheumatism is a disease character
lied by pains in the joints and in the

Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, Rheu-

and Lumbago. All of these types can
be helped absolutely by applying some
good liniment that penetrates. An ap-
plication of Sloan's liniment two or
three times a day to the affected part
will give instant relief. Sloan's lni-
ment is good for pain, and especially
Rheumatic pain, because it penetrates
