RUSSIA PROFITABLE FIELD
 FOR AMERICAN PRODUCTS

NEW YORk.-Curtis Guild. former American ambassador to Russia and ex-governor of Massa sachusetts, says that Russia is the most profitable and prolific field in the world for Amer ican products. He advised the estab- lishment of an American-R Russian bank for the acceleration and promotion of trade between the two countries
 Alba B. Johnson head of the Bald win Locomotive Works, the presi dent of the association, in introducing Mr. Guild, said there was no subject before the American people which should be brought more strongly to the attention of the State Depart. pent than the reconsideration of the whole subject of our diplomatic re- lations with Russia. Ex-Gov. Guild said one of the greatest sympathies that ever existed between nations was that which prompted Russia at the time of the American revolution to decline to supply troops to England, and he attributed the favorable terms of the Treaty of Ghent to the influ- ence of the Emperor of Russia.
 Getting the trade of Russia, meant obtaining the trade of 72,000. .0O0 peo- pie, said MT. Guild. who told that last year. while we imported goods from Russia to the value of $29,000, 900, we sent her $26,OOO,0OG worth of our own, although many American pro- ducts that went to London, Antwerp, Marseilles and Hamburg, were resold to Russia. He said that $150, ,0OO, ,O0O was conservative estimate of the value of American goods which even tually reach Russia every year.
 We don't hear very much about the Russian emperor" he continued, but he has done wonders for his country. He has reduced illiteracy by half, he has promoted athletics, he has stamped out vices such as drunkenness.

AN UMBRELLA TAIL.
1t Serves Many Purposes For the
 South American Anteater.

0OuIH AH1cFICdT1 AnteaCeFs
 One of the old natural history stories that have been only half believed is that the South American anteater uses its great bushy tail as an umbrella when ever it takes it's walks abroad in a shower. The story is partly true And the tail has other excellent uses, as one might suppose of so extraordinary an appendage. for perhaps no other ami proportion to body.
 The tail is like d. huge plume, but differs from the feather and from such flat, feather-like tails as form the rud- ders and balancing poles of the squir- rels in having its hairs arranged in two enormous fringes along the upper and under surfaces of the tail-not along the sides of it.
 The benefit of this arrangement is that when the anteater lies down at rest, with his tail bent sidewise, as is his wont, the long hairs of the tail completely cover the body like cloak or umbrella and shed the rain like q sloping thatch. The hairy covering is also useful in keeping away trouble some or dangerous insects, and its dull gray tint harmOniZes so we'll with the lights and shadows of the forest that 1t actually helps to hide the animal from it's enemies while 1t sleeps.-Iouth's Companion.

KAISER DEPRESSED
 BY HEAVY LOSSES

LONDON.-The situation in the eastern arena of the fighting is oc- cupying the attention of the military authorities in Berlin in very large de- gree, if reliance may be placed on news dispatches reaching London frop the continent. According to these, Emperor William returned hur- riedly to Berlin from the front in Po- land and at once held prolonged military conference, summoning for this purpose Gen. von Moltke, Count von Aulenberg, Gen. von Kesesl, and numerous other well-known leaders According to the correspondents of certain neutral Danish newspapers, Emperor William finds the situation generally hopeful, but he is described as greatly depressed over the terrible cost in men Germany has had to pay in return for comparatively limited advances against the intrenched Rus. sians. One account reaching Paris by way of Warsaw places the Ger man losses on the Bzura and the Rawka fronts at 45,O0O dead. This report is without confirmation, and 1t has not even been repeated from any other source.
 Nevertheless, Danish military crit. ics say Emperor William has pro- tested against this slaughter, and that,

Senator Sheppard was talking about a pathetic figure in Texarkana, an old merchant who. after attaining a posi- ton of eminence, now saw his trade slowly deserting him for younger and more radical rivals.

WANTS MORE REGULATION
Samuel Untermyer Urges Ma
tional Incorporation Law.

Boston, Feb. 1.-THE passage Of
national Incorporation law applicable
10 interstate corporations, especially TO
railroads, was urged by Samuel Inter
myer, of New York, in an address be-
fore the Boston University Law School
Association tonight.
Mr.. Untermyer characterized present
laws regulating corporations as chaotic
and inefficient, and said that LAWYERS
we're responsible for this condition. He
suggested that the Interstate Com
merce Commission or the railroad com
missions of the states should be given
power to prosecute directors In behalf
OF stockholders for the recovery of
money lost or diverted in the manage
ment Of corporations, in conformity
with the power now exercised by the
Controller of the Currency over ma
tional banks.
Approval of the Interstate Commerce
Commission should be necessary. Mr..
Untermyer thought, In the appointment
OF receivers for insolvent Industrial
corporations, and reorganization OF the
corporations should be under the SUPER
vision OF the commission.

RUBBER CONTROL
NOT FOR ENGLAND
Denial Made That Agree
ment Had Been Made
TO That Effect.

George b. Hodgman, OF the hodg'
man Rubber Company, yesterday de-
MED that an agreement had Deeh
entered into by the Rubber Club OF
America and the Rubber Trade AS
sociation Of New York with Great
Britain turning over to England the
control Of the rubber industry OF the
United States.
A statement 10 this effect was put
out Wednesday by the German In
formation Service which sends out pro
German matter to the American press.
Mr.. Hodgman is president OF the Rub.
her Club of America and chairman OF
the embargo committee, appointed TO
devise ways Of meeting the English
embargo on export rubber from BTU
ish colonies.
Mr.. Hodgman said yesterday that
the situation was simply choice as
TO whether American rubber manu-
featuring should go on by complying
with the terms on which England
agreed TO lift the embargo, or whether
our factories should be closed down
to half time.
IF American rubber manufacturers
are 10 continue operations they must
get rubber from Ceylon and the Malay
States, both British possessions" MI.
Hodgman said "In order to prevent
her enemies from getting this rubber
England placed an embargo on II such
as she had a right to do.
NTbfo ho hoe haan raiqpf
under certain conditions. Statements
have been issued by the German In
formation Service giving the impress
sion the Rubber Club and Trade As
sociation have bound the American rub
Der industry by a signed agreement
with the British government through
the embargo committee restricting our
trade and placing an unnecessary bur
den on the industry.
This agitation is based on a con-
fidential communication issued by the
embargo committee. This communion
tion mentions nothing about any
agreement. II was solely 70 acquaint
manufacturers and dealers with the
embargo committees Interpretation Of
the conditions under which the Brit
ish government would modify the en-
barge on crude rubber from its pos
sessions.
mo agreement has been signed by
the committee and il is optional with
each individual manufacturer and
dealer whether he imports British
grown rubber under the conditions as
outlined by the British government.
These conditions are that they will not
export rubber 10 the enemies of Great
Britain. nor 10 neutral European coun-
tries except through Great Britain, and
that they may export to non European
countries simply by sending a memor-
andum 10 the British. consul"
The slight Inconvenience, he said Of
exporting in this manner is practically
nothing, compared with the advantage
Of having the shipments of plantation
rubber resumed The herdshps would
be far greater, he said, if the embargo
we're re-established As a result Of
lifting the embargo, he said, two and
a quarter million pounds Of rubber
had arrived and a similar amount IS
now due, with others 70 follow. and
there was general satisfaction In the
rubber trade with these conditions.
