EUROPEAN WAR EFFECT
ON WORLDS COMMERCE
Figures Indicate Conflict Has Cost
United States Aggregate Of
$3.50, ,s31,172.

| Figures showing the effects of the
European war on the commerce of the
world, just issued by the Department
of Commerce, indicate that the con-
flict has cost the United States 1882,
s31, ,172 in decreased exports up to De-
cember /. and has cost the belliger-
ent countries greater sums.
Exports to all countries for the
eleventh-month period ending with No
vember aggregated $780, .9e1, ,492
against $2,250.s22, 1854 for the like period
in 1913. Despite this showing, how
ever. the November trade balance in
favor of the United States was $79,-
riod, $1s3,s72.os6.
Greatest Gain in November.
The November increase showed its
greatest gain in the crude and manu-
factured foodstuffs sent to Europe, the
1914 total being $73.049,03S, against
s3S.7s7.68s in 1913.
A striking demonstration of the ef.
feet of the war shown by the statement
is the decrease of Germany's $4S.072,
784 consumption in November. 1913, to
$42,136 in November, 1914. For Bel.
gium the decrease was from $3,999, 169
in 1913 to s121,316 in 1914:
Imports from Germany did not snow
the same results. In 1913 the United
states bought $14,256,995 during No
| vember in German markets and In 1914
$11.920,680 during the same month.
During the eleven-month period Ger
man imports fell from $165.939,267 in
1913 to $14O,70S,93S this year, while
exports to Germany decreased from
$31S, ,720.256 to $156.100.951.
Exports to all countries except Aus
trol Sron I1nifAd
dom and Italy fell off during Novem-
Der from 1913 figures, and for the
eleven month period only Australia.
Italy and Russia increased their Amer
lean purchases.
United Kingdom Largest Customer.
While the United Kingdom was the
largest customer, taking $69.5Ss.2s7 in
American goods during November and
$515,645,990 during the eleven-month
period, the latter figure shows de-
crease of approximately $11,Qo0,oo0
from the 1913 total.
Italy showed the greatest increase
in November. taking $17,031.754 last
month against $7.771,113 In November,
1918.
In the grand geographical divisions
of expert commerce the figures show
clearly the effect of the war. To Eu-
rope the United States sent shipments
valued at $1.342,905,152 during the
in 1918 and .s1.14s.7s1,5s5 in 1914. To

M. and Mrs. Whitcomb wanted their
child to be an American citizen and
not an Englishman so they conferred
with the, officers at the United States

There's only one thing about it,
said Judge Whitcomb, this morning,
