EXPORTS FROM GERMANY
 TO UNITED STATES Fall Off $31,552,1S5 During Year 1914 According
 to Statistics.

Berlin, Jan. 27, Via. London, Ii: :55 a. m.-E2ports from Germany to the United States in the year 1914, ac- cording to statistics compiled by Julius G. Lay, American consul gen. eral here, amounted to $159,O51, ,25O. This is falling off of $31.552,1s5 as compared with the previous year.
 That this decrease falls entirely within the period of the war is shown by comparison of the last six months of 1913 with the last six months of 1914.
 This change, perhaps; is not so much due to general trade depression as to the prohibitions upon the eX- port of articles of military value. Hides and leather alone account for 2,000,000 of the decreasc,- there not having been a single shipment of these goods during the last quarter of the year.
 Cotton manufacturers and the eX- porters of electrical machinery sup plies suffered generally, but certain other lines. of trade showed surprising activity or even gained during the war. It should be borne in mind that the supply of raw cotton was for a time interrupted and that 1t dropped fifty per cent. and that copper enters largely into the manufacture of cleo trical equipment.
 falling off is to be expected how ever, in 1915, as a considerable pro- portion of the exporting at the pres ent time is due to the filling of in complete contracts. Little new busi- ness is being contracted for, and the American buyers usually here in the winter season are not on hand this year. The decision to hold the usual spring fair at Leipsic from March 1 to March perhaps, will, it is eX- pected, attract buyers in greater num- bers.

TURKISH FORCES BEGIN
 INVASION OF EGYPT
Engagement Between British and Sultan's Forces Near
 El Kantara.

Cairo, Egypt, Jan. 27, Via London, 4:20 P. M.-An engagement occurred yesterday to the eastward of El Kan tara in Egypt, presumably with the advance guard of a Turkish army, al- though details are lacking. The Egyp- tian losses were one officer and four men slightly injured. Only a compara- lively small number of men were engaged in the fighting, which was in the nature of skirmishes.
 Detachments of Turkish troops have been sighted at three other points to the east of the Suez Canal but no fighting has resulted except that in the vicinity of El Kantara. In this engagement the Turks opened fire at long range with mountain guns. The British replied with machine guns and rifles
 A British seaplane dropped bombs upon the Turkish forces near Bir- murhadad inficting losses.
 Fighting in this locality indicates that not only was Turkish invasion of Egypt been begun, as was report ed in an earlier despatch from Athens but that Turkish forces have pene- trated a considerable distance into Egypt. E1 kantara is 2S miles south of Port Said and is on the SueZ Canal, which it is assumed, is the imme- diate objective of the Turkish ad- vances The territory to the east of K. Kantara, referred to in the fore going despatch, is the northern part of Sinai Peninsula, which extends to the Turkish frontier.
 It has been reported on several oc- casions since the entrance of Turkey into the war that an Ottoman expe- dition against Egypt would be att tempted.
