and the necessity of making
endless new adjustments will
all tend to keep our foreign
trade in a state of chaos long
after peace is established. Our
imports will naturally be more
affected in volume than ex-
ports, because of Europe's in
ability to sell. Our exports of
agricultural products may not
be seriously impaired; in fact
we may have to feed Europe
while her whole energy is given
over to rebuilding; but there
will be much less reason for
confidence in our ability to win
foreign markets for our manu-
tactWeS a year or two hence
than there is now. True, new
opportunities will be offered,
but when fighting is done with,
Germany will make an intense
effort to recover her lost mar
ketS. Low prices, hard work
and adaptability will slowly
but surely overcome present
prejudices. Great Britain will
be obliged to make an equally
strenuous effort if she expects
to hold any newly gained mar
ketS. Of our ability to compete
with these energetic rivals,
who will undoubtedly operate
on a cheaper and better estab-
lished basis than ourselves,
there is as yet no positive as
surance. The whole future of
the commercial world is highly
unsettled, and all operations
connected Herewith will have
to take into consideration the
numerous hazards, as we'll as
the unqueStionable oppOrtuni-
ties which will arise from the
settlement of old troubles and
a fresh development of the
worlds resources.

WHEN PEACE ARRIVES

T HE conditions that will

subject Of decided interest as

the following discussion as to
the opportunities that will then
be open 0 America:
When peace arrives recon-
struetion will follow in vigor-
GUS fashion. Europe will be so
absorbed in rebuilding, and 30
crippled in productive capacity
as TO have little to sell in the
form of merchandise to this
country. The disruption of es-
tablished business conditions,

EFFECTIVE

NN1ITHOUT sending any
" troops to Mexico the
United States govern
ment took very effective action
towards restoring peace to
Mexico when Huerta was ar
rested and his fellow plotters
taken in hand.
Why howl at the Mexicans
about the warfare in their
country when the source of the
trouble is not in Mexico but in
New York city? There is a
strange inconsistency on the
part of those whu clamor
against the bloodshed in Mex
leo yet wanted another revo-
luton started so there could
be more bloodshed.
Effective intervention in
Mexico calls not so much for
an American army of invasion
as for the services of good de-
tectives who can find the sourc-
es from which the fighting fac
tons draw their money and the
reason why some of our finan-
ciers keep the blood spilling GO

LARGE ARMIES OF FORMER

(From the Orangeburg Times and

Although the number of men en-
gagged in the present conflict is ex-
ceeding all previous wars, the pre-
ponderance is not as much as one
would think at first hand. A writer
in the New York Times points out
some of the large armies of ancient
nations as follows:
Ancient Thebes. it Is said. could
send ten thousand fighting men out
o. each of its hundred gates
Minus. the Assyrian king. in the
twenty-second century B. c.. led
against the Bactrians 100, 600 SOL
diers on foot and 100000 mounted.
The old historians credit Xerxes
with land and sea forces counting up
to 2,s41,O00, with enough attaches,
hangers-on, women. suffers. etc. TO
make host of more than 5000, 600.
Artazeryes at one time. before the
hattie of Cunaxa, an army nearly l.
$780, strong.
Darius OF Persia brought more than
100000 soldiers to Arebela.
Tamerlane is said to have met Ba-
jaret's i.400 .0oo with force of l.
600. .00o.
Terah. king Of Ethiopia had 1900
600 soldiers to call to his standards
Compared with the extended battle
line of today in Europe, the array of
forces Of ancient Cannae was but a
skirmish formation. There were Sc

Illegal Strikes Condemned.

Pittsburg, Kans., Dec 10 Pre-
sident Harrigan of district IA Uni
ted Mine Workers union has called
on members to stamp out illegal
strikes. He says these local shut
downs and strikes only fortify the
position of the operators to restrict
the progress Of our union. +"

Gus, "if these few members of our
union have disregarded our con-
tract could thoroughly realize what
a terrible effect this procedure has
had on our gaining an organiza-
tion in the non union fields of this
country, they would hesitate before
reserting to such action. The
district executive shows that every
illegal strike is recorded by the op-
orators and is used against the
workers at wage conferences.

PRISON FOR UNIONlSTS.
Plate En9ravers Mistreated by the Gu
ban Government.

Plate Engravers Mistreated by the Gu
ban Government.
Cuba and her officials were severely
criticised at recent meeting of the
Philadelphia Central Labor union for
the arrest and Imprisonment of four
American citizens who went to the is
land to install an engraving and plate
making plant, says the Philadelphia
Ledger.
The matter came before the union
with a resolution recommending the
passage of Il law at the next meeting
of congress prohibiting the government
from lending employees to any for
eign government, firm or corporation
for the purpose of educating men III
the art of engraving or platemaking.
The government for many years has
been lending engrayers and platemak
ers to foreign countries and to home
corporations in the plate and engrav-
ing business.
After plant was installed in Ha-
vana and Cubans learned engraving
and platemaking the wages Of the
Americans were reduced. When they
protested that their agreement with
the Cuban government was being yio-
lated they were dismissed and sent to
jail, charged with inciting other work
ers to riot After being confined for
several days and fed on black mo-
lasses and cornmeal mash they were
released and ordered TO go to the Unit
ed States on the first steamship sail
ing from Havana.
The workmen were members of the
International Engrayers and Platemak
ers' union, and the unfair treatment Of
Cuban officials will be called TO the at
tention of the state department by the
American Federation of Labor.
The bill to be introduced at the next
congress will be known as the Holden
bill. The Pennsylvania Federation Of
Labor will send committee to con-
gress in its support.

EXPANDING THE CHEST.
Proper Attitude to Assume During
Breathing Exercises.

Ii has been the popular belief that
when exercising certain arm move
ments during inspiration, such as hold
ing the arms up, expand the chest
and enable it to take in more air. Ac-
cordiug to Or. James Frederick Rogers
fin an article in the Medical Journal,
this is not the proper thing to do. He
tested fifty persons of both sexes,
ranging from sixteen to forty wears of
age. measuring carefully the quantity
Of air inspired when eleyating the
arms, as usually taught and when
standing still with the arms hanging
loose He found that in no single case
did the arm movements increase the
quantity Of air inspired, but In many
they actually decreased it He also
found that standing naturally is more
conducive TO deep breathing than "
ing fat or hanging by the hands.
The raising of the arms, he writes,
does apparently increase the measure
ments of the upper parts of the chest,
but the increase is due to the change
in the position Of the muscles in this
region and to their contraction Of
stretching, which causes them to stand
out from the thorax. For the muscles
which lift the arms forward Or side
ward or upward have nothing to do
with the lifting of the ribs, and conse-
quently no special effect upon the
depth of inspiration.
With very deep inspiration there is
drawing backward of the head and a
Strengthening of the thoracic spine In
other words, the assuming of a very
erect posture and, if any exercises are
to be carried out as aids to deep in
take Of air, it seems that the drawing
backward OF the chin and the assump-
tion of the most erect standing or sit
ting posture would be most useful as
an aid or accompaniment of deep
breathing"
