News From Germany.

George B. Mcclellan, former mayor
of New York city, who is now profes-
sor of economic history in Princeton
university, writes very interestingly
of conditions as he observed them in
a recent journey through Germany
and other European countries. There
are fewer young men in the streets
of the German cities than formerly
and more people are in mourning,
but otherwise everything is normal.
The food supply is limited, but there
is no indication Of want and even the
prisoners of war are well fed. The
economic conditions are far better
than in Italy, France or Switzerland,
The people claim to have adapted
themselves to war conditions and to
be- self sustaining, and say they can
continue the war indefinitely. They
are absolutely confident that the al
lies will be defeated. Mr.. Mcclellan
says German sentiment toward the
United States can best be described
as one of ''pained establishment, =

GERMAN RESOURCES
How They Have Overcome Some
War Troubles

The neutral observer" OF the Lon
don Times describes how Germany
meets it's war needs as follows
One of the most serious errors in
to which the public Of this country
appears to have fallen seems to be
that of Understanding the German
power to do without products which
the war prevented her from obtain
ing, at least from obtaining in suffi-
cient quantities.
The knowledge of number of sub
stitutes for articles of everyday use
was widespread even among the UNI
scientific population before the war,
and it is important to remember that
the popularization of substitutes has
been officially encouraged in Ger
many for a good many years.
Good exhibitions in various cities
of Germany, and more especially in
Berlin, have had as one of their
most prominent features kiosks or
booths where you could sample subs
titutes for coffee, yeast, eggs, butter,
olive oil and the like.
A case, now notorious, of food sub
stitute is of course the German war
bread. Nobody pretends that the
Germans like war bread, partly be-
cause of it's monotony, but the early
complaints of unhealthfulness have
disappeared since the bakers acquir-
ed skill in its preparation.
OF substitutes for olyie oil there
were already several derived from
nuts of various kinds. Utterly, since
the supply from Italy has ceased,
German ingenuity has set to work to
find substitutes in addition to those
already existing One of the leading
chemists told me for a fact that the
Germans are now extracting sub
stitute for olive oil from cherry
stones.
TO turn to other substitutes, it

will be recalled that Germany very
early began to popularize the use of
the heavy benzol instead Of petrol
for motors. Prizes for the most ef-
fective benzol-consuming engine, for
benzol carburetors and so forth,
were offered by various official de-
partments in recent years Since
the war ingenious inventions for the
more satisfactory employment of
benzol have been adopted. Naturally
alcoholic extract from potatoes, al
ways great German and Austro-Hun
garian industry, has also found in
creased employment
When Germany fell desperately
short, as she did. at one time, of lub-
ricating oils, she used fish oil. and
her factories not only used all the
fish they could get out of the sea,
but they also very carefully collected
fish refuse and the dead flotsam of
the seashore.
For copper in electrical and other
industries, Germany claims to have
devised substitutes before the war,
and her experts now assert that in a
wide range of industries copper pots
can safely be removed and used by
ammunition factories, since they will
replace these pots by entirely salts
factory substitutes.
1t is perfectly true that Germany
makes every effort to get copper
from every possible source. 1t is true
that housewives ae being asked to
sell their government their copper
cans and kettles But this does not
mean that these are Germanys last
copper reserves. 1t means that on
the whole, there is less disturbance
of ordinary conditions created by TAX
ing the domestic preserving pan than
by removing copper wire from tram
ways; also every pound of copper
thus made available at home dimin-
ishes the amount which Germany
must import from abroad and pay for
with her cherished gold
Germany has likewise developed |
since the war began the original Nor
wegian process for extracting nitro
gen from the air. Previously Ger
many obtained most of her nitrogen
Gus material from Chilli. Her air ex |
tracing process provides her now !
with the three important substitutes |
Of ammonium nitrate, used in the |
of explosives; sodium, |
used in coloring, and concen-
rated nitric acid.
The situation may be summarized |
-hus: The necessaries of life in Ger
many have risen very much less in
price than Germans themselves eX-
Dected or than people in other coun
-ries were made eroneously to be-
ieve. 1t is, of course, not true that |
prices are practically unaffected, and
It is not true that Germany does not
EEL the pinch of the war.
But it is true there is no real short
age. 1t is true that Germany can
can feed herself, and it is true that
famine prices-that is, the heroic
prices of a besieged city-are not be-
ng asked or paid. 1t appears neces-
sary to repeat this even today in
England.

JONES FAVORS FEDERAL
 CONTROL 0F FISH

Dr. D. Lester Jones' doputy fish commissioner. who spent several monthn in Alaska last year investl- gating ilshe'ies conditions believes thoroughly that all control over the fishing industry in tho North should be vested 10 the Federal government end that the Territorial government should have nothing to do with the matter at all. This is the first subject treatad in bis report and with refer enco to it he says.
 "Any division of authority between the Department of Commerce and oi- ficials of the Territory Of Alaska, in administering the Alaska fisheries law would loo detrimental to the salmon and other fishery industries. lt would SO confuse conditions that neither the officials of this Department nor the Territory would have adequate aus thorlty. What is needed is not di- yldod power. but the concentration Of authority under one responsible ad ministrative department
 "it is my undivided and unbiased belief that a continuance of the pres. ont nvostmant of such authority in the Department Of Commerce win be fruitful of much more real good to the fisheries of Alaska than any diyis- ion Of authority
 "The contention of some in Alaska that the Tcrritory can better admin lster its own fishery affairs is sus- ceptable of adverse criticism because of the strife and friction between the diverse local interests that would ale most inevitably follow such efforts to handlo the situation. This has been the result in some States, and 1t is therefore my honest belief that full Federal control of the fisheries of Al. asla, as impartially and honestly ad- ministered by the Department of Com mcrce through the Bureau of Fisher ies. will result most beneiicially to all interests concerned. And, further more, owing to the vast amount of practical and scientific knowledge and information acquired and developed turing and extended period by men of unusual training and experience in The Bureau of Fisheries, any idea or thought of transferring jurisdiction over this highly important industry to another institution or board of the National government should be dis missed at once. as such action would be a serious mistake and would prove handicap to the greatest develop ment of Alaska's fishery resources '

PITTSBURGH, Jan 10.-tof tee first time in months tho Peoples Na- aonal bank. k regarded as an author itv on commercial conditions n 1he pittsbureh district. Che largest indus triai center ip the world is wholly optimistic. as these extracts rom i'- January circular show
 .There is such distinct cleavage betweon actual conditions as tney eS lsted at the end Of 19li and the pres ent hope that looks in over the tnresa- old of 1915, taat more stress snoaia ho laid upon the latter than Che ioghi' cr in starting the new year.
 "From .he perspective ot January j. 1915. the country sees more clearly what it went through. and while it IS amazed over the dangers successfully met and overcome. and relieved from the tensity of the strain, there aas been nevertheless the inevitable re- action. Men Of affairs have been ron dercd conservative regarding new un- der,aklngs. and more cautious, lest the strain haa been too much for in' forests that a8 yet revealed no out ward wound. January settlements should clear up doubts on this latter point. and then there should he room for the Iuil play of the optimism that appeared early in December and Whien fnoda steady progress Co the end ot the year.
