The allies have been trying to enter
Constantinople the past twelve months
without success. The Germans start
ed to make the entry few weeks
ago and are now well on the road with
no great opposition. Of course the
Serbians are fighting to the last ditch
but they are being overwhelmed with
numbers just like the Belgians and
this while the English and French
are being disturbed through cabinet
designations and internal dissentions.

Mistaken in the Geography

OF the Sign.
In Western Kansas, on one~af the
automobile highways is the town of
Razine, which consists of a store, a
blacksmith shop and four houses. On
big sign just outside the place APP
pears the legend: 'Razine, Speed
limit one hundred miles an hour. Do
your Darndest." Judging by the
speed set by some auto drivers through
North Durango they must think that
sign is located there.

INCREASED EXPORTS
DUE TO WAR ORDERS

Exports to the value of three bill
lion dollars for the period September
1914 to August 1915 is the new rec
ord set by this country, according to
figures recently made public by the
department of commerce. The nearest
approach to this record, for that par.
ticular period, was in 1912-1913, un-
der Republican administration, when

tide of our export trade under nor

result of our self-sufficiency at

ducts which added to the enjoymen,
of life. 1t was n normal trade. under
wise laws, efficiently administered
and not the result of feverish de

in a taturnalia of slaughter.
The figures published by the de

was actively engaged in filling wal
orders to the European belligerents

amounted to S3,035,033 ,2sO. During
this period there was an increase
over the period September 1918 to
August 1914 of fully one billion dol.
lars in the value of those articles
which properly come under the head
of munitions of war. Our total ex-
port trade for similar period in
1912-1913, under Republican law, was
S2,49S,053,721 In 1914, same period
eleven months of which was under the
Underwood tariff law, our export
trade fell to s2,2s0. .1s5,791, a de-
crease of about s21s,OoO,O 900 Had
there been n normal export trade in
munitions of war, our export trade
for 1915 would no doubt have fallen
below the two billion mark.
For this same perior in 1914-1915
our import trade (articles which COM
pete with American manufacturers
and American labor) amounted to
81 ,669, sos, 1884, compared with S1,906,-
657,5l5 for the same period 1913
1914, the first year of the Under
wood tariff law, a decrease of $237,-
100000, showing the extent to which
the war performed the office of a
protective tariff proxy, so that it is
not unreasonable to say the Euro
pean war benefited this country to
the extent of fully one billion dollars
in export trade and S237 900 900 in
import trade, and this does not take
into consideration the undoubted fact
that our import trade in 1915 would
have been far greoter than in 1914,
had hostilities not resulted in en-
bargoes. decreased tonnage, the for
eign manufacturer of war munitions
instead of compctitory products, and
the sending of millions of foreign
laborers to the firing line. For the
