GERMAN TEXTILE

Berlin. Aug. l6.-Since the importa-
ton Of textile raw materials into Ger
many has been almost entirely
stopped, the army authorities have
perfected a plan or economic schedule,
by the terms Of which the textile In
dustry Of Germany will be regulated
and controlled 1t has been worked
out with a careful consideration of the
supplies Of textiles now on hand and
with a view to making them last as
long as possible.
This is to be accomplished. in part.
by forbidding for the time being the
production of Injuries, and suiting
production Of all other articles to the
supply on hand. Such a regulation in
connection with cotton goods already
exists and is working well.
No general prohibition Of textile pro-
duction has been laid down. but the
list of articles which may be made
has been restricted SO far as possible
to the absolutely necessary-as for
instance personal and bed linen.
clothes and Innings. 1t is also stipu-
lated what kind Of material these
things may be made Of the coarser
being substituted for the finer here
tofore in use. Also the use of cotton
is to be enlarged somewhat SO that
the list Of textiles may be accordingly
circumscribed.
Regulation Of wool production is
also in prospect, probably differing
somewhat from the rules governing
cotton, but in any event prescribing
what kinds of wooden may be used for
given articles.
A restriction Of the fax and hemp
industry is also planned.
Army contracts are not to be gov
erned by any of the new rules. Those
who have already made contracts
with the military or naval authorities
may carry them out whether or not
the production of the articles in cues
ton is forbidden.

AMER|CUS CREEK
COLONY DISCUSS
WAR PROSPECTS
THINK ALLIES WISE IN RECENT
STEPS TAKEN

Greek residents of Americas, Of
whom there are quite number, some
Of them reservists and subject to be
called home to fight the Turks and
Bulgarians again as they did few
years ago, are intensely interested in
the war situation there, now that their
loved country is about to engage in the
European embroglio. They are thor
oughly conversant with the situation
there, even at this great distance.
Americas colony members are sur
prised that the Allies have not, before
this landed troops at Saloniki, Greece,
to stop the Bulgars from reaching Tur-
key.
Saloniki, they say, is the key to
the southern Balkan situation, FORM
ing both a land and naval base for the
Allies and enabling them to check aur
movement Of the armies of the central
powers across the small strip of Ser
bia that keeps them from CONSTANT
nopls.
The diliatory policy that has been
followed by the King of Greece was
ascribed by some as due to the in
duence of the Queen, who belongs to
the royal house of Germany, and who
desired at least that Greece be neU
trail, if not arrayed on the side of h.
brother, Kaiser Wilhelm.
The Greeks seem to regard the en-
trdi ce of Greece as inevitable AMI
are enthusiastic that she sides with
the Allies and are indignant at the a.
ti;Ude of Bulgaria.

And this school Changed the vocation
Of Bills" after life, for it was there
he first became imbued with a love
for baseball.
Carrigan early exhibited a skill in
the popular sport and was selected as
catcher of the high school team in his
first year. He played four years on
the Lewiston high school nine and
then acquiesced in the desire of his par
ents to attend Holy Cross college.
While at Holy Cross Carrigan made his
impression on the big league scouts
and especially those of the Red Sox,
who in 1906 prevailed upon Carrigan to
give up all other thoughts of after
life for the padded mitt, bat and ball.
He played his first professional ball
in the autumn of 1906 with the Red
Sox, but, being inexperienced, was
sent to Toronto the following year.
He was recalled by the Red Sox in
1908 and was substitute catcher for
that year. In 1909 Lou Criger, the vet
eran, was released and Carrigan be-
came the regular catcher for the Red
Sox, playing that position in the
worlds series against the Giants in
1912.
He now enjoys the happy distinc-
ton of being the only playing mana
ger in the American league.

WARNS DRY-FARMERS
NOT GAMBLE WITH
NATURE IN SPEECH

DENVER, Col, Oct. c.-The eleventh
annual convention of the International
Dry-Farming congress opened in Den
yer today, when Congressman F. W.
Mondell, of Wyoming, the president of
the congress, delivered his annual adj
dress. He noted with regret that the
war in Europe had caused absence
of delegates to the congress from GER
tain European countries.
He warned the dry farm men not tc
gamble with nature. Notwithstanding
that the past season had brought boun
teous crops on dry farms, ne caution
ed against any relaxation in the appli-
cation of scientific methods of mois
ture conservation. This alone, he as
serted, would make farming uniform
~ safe and profitable in regions of nor
mally limited rainfall.
More than half the cultivated and
cultivable areas of our country, and Of
the earth" he said, normally have in
sufficient moisture to insure the growth
of crops profitably. Gambling never
pays in the long run, and lis hazards
are never greater than when on starts
his enterprise on the hope that nature
will depart from her normal attitude
in favor of his venture"
