An attempt was made at an early
hour this morning TO blow up the
big Nemours powder works To-
Gated at Neznours, Virginia, near

An investigation has revealed
NO trace OF the party who placed
the matches ON the track.

States in 1913 were $5,0O0,O00 but in
1914 they were 100000. This in
crease of s2S,0O0,0OO was practically
all farm products, to be sold in Ameri-
can markets in competition with the
products of American farmers.
Consul General Bray, Sydney, Aus
tralia, in his resume of trade condi-
tons in that commonwealth for the
year 1914, says that when the United
States placed meat upon the free list
in its 1913 tariff il was confidently ex-
pected that Australia would do large
business with the American Pacific sea
board in both canned and frozen com
modities. "The year 1914 he writes,
opened with every prospect of this
expectation being realized. Several
Australian producers visited the
United States and excellent results
were being achieved when the war
came on and interrupted the course
of business. Embargoes were put on
meat exports to countries other than
Grea; Britain and its allies" The
