Marvellous Increase In Business
Of Nation Has Been Gained
Without Aid of Conflict.
FOOD SHIPMENTS EXCEPTED
Boost Of More Than Half BIZ.
lion Dollars For Year Is
Shown in Official Report.

The marvellous increase in the ma
tion's foreign business during the
last fiscal year. aggregating $780,
ooo, 900 in exports higher than the
1914 total, was not due entirely to war
orders, unless food shipments be con-
sidered as such.
Omcial figures made public by the De-
partment Of Commerce today, giving
an analysis of the foreign commerce OF
the United States for the fscal year
ending June 30, refute the claims that
the American manufacturer Of war ma
terisls has enriched himself by the suf-
ferins In Europe.
Analysis Of these figures show that
while there was an increase Of 1855, =
494. 40 in tho total Of exports. the in
crease was made solely on foodstuffs
and meat animals.
In the two groups OF foodstuffs In
crude condition ana food animals. and
foodstufYs partly or wholly manufac-
tured, there was an increase Of $3.50, 49,
82 In the value of exports for the year.

In the manufactures group which In
cludes crude materials for use In manu-
featuring, manufactures for further
use In manufacturing and manufactures
ready for consumption there was n de-
crease Of sale. .3ls, 337 In the value Of ex-
ports under the year before.
The only othor item in the classinca-
| ton of exports Is the miscellaneous col.
umn. The total In this group Increased
from N.0Oo. 600 in 1914 to $50 ooO 90 In 1916
which was largely made UP by the ex.
portat,on Of &6A, ,ooO.oo worth Of horses

jury President Judge Joseph M. Woods
knowing the nature of the evidence to

Plummer Port. the husband of the
murdered m was the first wit
ness. Railroad officer Frank Ernest
and Private Detective Port were also
important witnesses for the State.
A full, written confession of the
crime, in which Snyder admits assault
as the motive. will be introduced as
the Commonwealth's telling blow
against the defense. Upon whether or
not the court will admit the confession
as legitimate evidence apparently
hinges the life of Adam Snyder. IF
the confession is admitted, there will
be but one last plea to which the
accused boys counsel can resort-that
is insanity.
