kindly of the proposed beneficiary

War Supplies From America

The following article WAS sent to us
from Hans Steilow and was printed
in German and translated into English
through the courtesy OF Miss Louise
II. Eismann.
In the official report of the "Nord-
deutschen Allgemcinen" newspaper, a.
mons other things concerning Ameri-
/ can delivery of supplies to our enc
mics. there has appeared the fact that
the international forbidden ammuni-
:ion trade with England and France
has reached such an extent that it
brings up the question daily of not
only the neutrality of American Gov
eminent but of the American people
themselves.
| This assertion Is based on an arti-
Gle which appeared in the January
1915) number of the New York Jour
nal Of Commerce". The Journal of
Commerce is regarded as one of the
most authoritative commercial period
icals in the United States, and from
the beginning of the war it has always
preserved strict neutrality toward
| the warning nations. In the aforesaid
article. it is pointed out that already
a month after the war had set in,
traffic in war supplies had begun to a
more or less greater extent. Up to
the end of 1914 the round sum of 1889
| millions of dollars worth of war SUD-
plies was received by the Allies from
the L. S. Out of this there was not less
than 2S millions OF dollars for arms
and ammunition The sharpnells or
dered by the Russian government a.
lone amounted to - million dollars.
Other Items were:
Gun ammunition for 81 million dollars
| Guns and revclvers for million dol
t lars.
Grenade for 20 million dollars.
Iron and steel materials 2l.1 million
dollars
Shoes. saddle goods, etc. 81 million
dollars.
Automobiles 12.4 million dollars.
, Furthermore it is interesting to note
| that the order for submarine boats,
which at the time was placed in Amer
lea but which following decree of
the U. S. government was forbidden
to be filed, has been nevertheless ac-
ceptcd by the Bethlehem Steel Co.
| The construction, that is, the putting
together CT the parts. is now to take
| place in Canada. The total amount of
| this order runs up to a round twenty
! five million. Another great order for
sleighs, automobiles, saddle goods, etc.
was given to the Studebaker corpora
ton. 1t is valued at Is millions. The
whole amount of $50 millions, howev-
er. does not cover all the orders of the
Allies executed in U. S. because the
Journal OF Commerce very carefully
presents only such contracts for which
it has succeeded in getting an official
confirmation.
Then a great number of commits
sions about which certain reports
hover have not been reckOned in.
For example an order for two mil
lion Soldiers uniforms which were
said to have been delivered to the
French government at the end of De-
cember.
Furthermore, every week from Chi
cago to Europe are sent immense sup
plies of meat for the armies of France
and England Also the report from
Pittsburg has not been denied that
larger new orders for steel materials
amounting to four millions of dollars
have been filed
Added to all this five million dol
lars for L. S. horses have been pro-
cured. The total amount of all these
contracts is about $50 millions of dol
lars

NO FUNDS AVAILABLE TO

COST OF STRUCTURES AT MIS-

ceived letter dated February S, 1915
from the Commissioner OF Indian
Affairs concerning the erection OF
bridges across the Umatllla river at

Ia in the hands OF the Commissioner,
Il is estimated that the cost of both
bridges, including contingencies, is
S2S.5O0. IL constructed at one time, and
II constructed separately the estimat-
ed cost of the Thorn Hollow bridge
is $4,000 and the Mission bridge
$1S.5O0, total s2S,50O, The Commits
sioner advises that there is not suf-
ficient amount of funds on hand to
justify the construction of the bridges
at this time and that the Indian Of
flee will be unable to take any fur
ther steps at this time, unless a di-
rect appropriation is made, Major
Swartzlander has referred the matter

WOOL FAMINE is REALITY.
CONTINUED from page One.,

II competition is the life OF trade,
1t certainly looks as II there would
be plenty of lie IN the wool trade
in the west this spring. Not only
does Germany want our wool, but
dealers believe IL they can buy right
there will be splendid opportunities to
make money. Many manufacturers
having had to pay such round ad-
vances after the wool is in the deal
ers' hands are preparing to operate
in the west this yedr.
Until the past two years, when the
unconsumed wool was inventoried
January 1st, there was found to be
practically enough wool in this coun-
try to run our mills for almost a
year. This meant that wool was
grown one year and consumed the
next and indicated the need of the
dealers or middlemen to carry the
wool until consumptive demand arose.
But, with wool production decreasing
all over the world, consumption has
caught up with production and wool
must now move with as little delay
as is possible. from the sleeps back
to the human back.
With the added war demand it GER
