There is no need for the United States
to be afraid of Germany and Great
Britain In the keen commercial rivalry
! that Is to follow the present war, accord
ing to Secretary Of Commerce Redfeld
who last night at the New Willard ad-
dressed a session OF the fourth annual
convention of the Chamber of Commerce
Of the United States.
Discussing commerce and what will
happen after the war. the Secretary de-
clared that the United States has two
great commercial Hvals-Germany and
England. The methods of all three, he
said. are as different as the pecplc.
Germany has applied the science of
research and organization to the secur-
ing of foreign trade" he declared.

Mr.. Redfeld said the rivalry between

President Ernest r. Nichols, Of Dart

in the business world, The Employment
Manager and declared that this is the
best remedy yet devised for curing the
labor. He related the great changes
that have occurred between the owner
and the laborer in the past fifty years
and scored the inattention Of owners and
directors to the human element of their
business
In asserting that the personal relation
between owner and laborer had ceased.
he said that business has come to regard
labor as a commodity, yet the human
problem is the greatest problem con-
fronting business today.

the "Malady OF the Railways" Howard
Elliott, president OF the New York, New

President Elliott spoke with great
frankness of the strike now threatening
all the railroads OF the country and de-
scribed in detail the handicaps under
which the transportation lines are suf-
fering.
Whatever the reason for the present
malady of the railways" said he, two
facts stand out prominently in the history
of the railways OF the United States for

special taDic 10 Inc "AIun8ton hertu.
London, Feb. s.-Germany has today in
the field armies of 3,Sco,Oo0 strength. She
has suffered 100000 casualties and has
100000 reserves still available for field
service
The strength of these armies will not
begin to fail until the supply is exhaust
ed. If the Germans lose 10000 men q
month, they will exhaust their power of
reinforcement by September next II
the rate of loss is 10000 a month, then
the field armies can go on till February,
1917.
Finally, if we dispose of no more Ger
mans per month than we did during the
month just elapsed, namely, $1,000, there
is no particular reason why we should
set any particular term upon the war.
If we insist upon fighting Turks, Bull
gars and what not, instead of Germany.
We make a great mistake. We have only
ono enemy that counts and whose fall
will bring his confederates down with
him. We should concentrate upon him
and act against him Extensively with all
our might.
This should be the cardinal plan of
the war. and victory is assured If we
pursue 1t relentlessly.

from his peace expedition in Europe,
and former Secretary of State Bryan
may cooperate TO oppose the military
preparedness program of the admins
tration.
They conferred today for over an
hour, and it was thought this might
have been the subject of their talk.
Ford came back from Europe, con-
fident that there may still come some
good from his expedition. At any rate,
he said, it will have veen worth while
if it succeeds in the slightest in short
ening the war. He declared that people
who allowed the monarchs to do their
thinking were responsible for the war,
and incidentally he took fling at
America for what he regarded as a
similar state of mind here.
"The kaiser's granting permission
for the peace party to cross Germany
is great moral victory for the dele
gates" he said. 'Gt will have de-
cided effect on bringing the movement
into more general favor in Europe"
