American trade has been demonstrated
many times during the present war. =
notable incident Is that in which .
group OF men in Georgia chartered .
British steamer and loaded her with
cotton. She was about to sail whom
the amazing news came that she had
been requisitioned by the British gov
ernmeat and could not carry her cargo
abroad. This would seem to have
been a piece of stupidity ON the part
of Great Britain, for the ship could
have been taken over as well after
she had delivered her cargo In Eng
land as before.
However that may be. Senator Hoke
Smith went Immediately to the state
and demanded that vigor-
GUS representations should be made to
the British government for the release
of the ship to the use for which she
had been chartered. He was told that
Eall proper steps to secure her release
would be taken, but after waiting for
ty- eight hours without hearing sound
from the state department he laid his
case before the British ambassador. In
less than twenty-four hours the YES
sci was released.

Ration Of Exchanges Of Smokes Be-
tween German and French Soldiers.
Correspondence of Associated Press.]
Paris, Dec 20.-A scene in one of the
military hospitals is described in the
Figaro:
In the military hospitals in Germany
as in France they distribute cigars and
cigarettes to the wounded. Germans
and French often find themselves to-
gether in the same room. The French
man prefers the cigarette; the Ger
man the cigar. They like to exchange.
But upon what basis? And how to
make each other understood? They
do some contortions with the fingers.
Zone cigar" explains the French
man, 'is worth five cigarettes"
The German replies with his fingers:
1.-TWO cigarettes for your cigar"
It finally ends in this agreement. The
German will give the Frenchman three
cigarettes for one cigar, and this is
tariff which is now established: Zone
cigar-three cigarettes"

AIdtors' Safety Par9chutes.

Ihe energies OF practically all the
inventors Of parachutes for airmen
have been directed towards the deyel-
opn1ent OF a device for the airman
alone, the aeroplane itself being al
lowed to drop to earth unhindered.
Parachutes for the whole aeroplane
nave just been designed by a French
Inventor. Two folded %parachutes, CON
tanned In cone-shaped receptacles, are
attached TO the wings as near the ends
% possible. BY means Of a simple
mechanism. operated by the movement
OF a small hand lever, these para.
chutes are pushed out of the contain
ers. after which they are claimed to
open freely, NJ matter in what man.
ner the aeroplane may be falling. All
the airman has to do is to hang on to
the aeroplane.
