REILLY ANSWERS
 SEN. BRANDEGEE
(Continued from Fifth Page.)

the policy of the president as it re-
 lates to our foreign and domestic af- fairs Like MT. Hughes he fails to tell the voters of Connecticut what he would do, if by any miracle he should have been in the presidents place.
 Here is a sample chunk of what Senator Brandegee probably thinks IS convincing argument that he feeds to what he must believe is a mighty gullible electOrate:
 Such prosperity as the country now enjoys is due in large measure to the tremendous purchases made here by the belligerent goVernm ments.' Let
 us see about that. According to a report made to congress on July 6 of this year by the Department of Commerce the total exports of all manufacturers that can be in any way classified as war babies" for the ten | months ending April 1914, before the war began amounted to $291, 375, ,227. The list of manufactures making up that total is comprised as follows: Aluminium and manufactures of, brass and manufactures of, aeroplanes
 and parts of, automobiles and parts of,
 
 parts of, copper and manufactures of copper, electric machinery, explo- sives, automobile tires, firearms of all kinds, steam locomotives metal work ing machinery and machine tools of all kinds, rails for railways, wire,
 manufactures of iron, or steel, men S
 boots and shoes, harness and saddles, wool wearing apparel, uniforms, h otC ujn md fo n lures thereof.
 I believe that it will be admitted
 that the Hst- t-enumerated is quite com plete and includes every line of man.
 ufactures that can in any degree be called war goods AS said the total value of those goods exported during the ten months preceding the war, when the war naturally 'could not have affected the trade over $291,- 900, ,000, Then the report gives the value of the same articles of export sent abroad during the ten months, ending April 1916, or during the war
 The total is $1,169, 9,673,S42. Manu-
 featuring is the barometer of industry and these, IS the report Shows are our manufactures. Now to get at what the war has done for us and to show to what degree our prosperity is due
 to the war, as Senator Brandegee
 claims deduct the amount manufac- tured during the ten months before the war from the amount nFanufac- tured in the ten months during the war and you will get the amount of manufacturing prosperity that can be justly credited to the unfortunate hor-
 TOT across the sea. The deduction shows that during. the ten months of the war the manufa ctures were $87S,- 29S,615. That was the excess of ex-

organized, is meaGerly paid, day la borers receiving no more than three drachmae a day Ca little less than sixty cents), while skilled labor in the trade will average hardly more than twice as much. Carpenters, masons and mechanics generally use the most primitive of implements;' yet the amount of work which they perform in day is astonishing. The guilds, or corporations, which correspond to our labor unions, embrace practi- callV all the manual pursuits.
 Hhe Creek of today, especially in lthe country, is the most hospitalofe of moderns. The'best room in the house, the choicest tidbits<at the table; all the resourcesA of s*ns family. indeed are freely at the dis1osa} of. the pass ing stranger, withoutousht Or de- sire of payment, ana it is. 'only.. by means of some subtslfuge, such as, IS health, that one. is able with difficult ty to press money upon a host who has denied himself to make his guest comfortable.
 Because of the great number of Greeks who have returned from Am erica, English is often heard, and few travellers in the PelopOnnesus will fail to recall at almost every railroad sta -tion the eager face thrust in at tTe carriage window and quivering with the demand, You fellers from Amer ica?' The curiosity thus manifest in a friendly spirit is typical of the mod ern Greek. and one traveller recOunts an experience at the provincial capi- tai of Amhissa where twenty-nine people gathered and hung with eager interest upon the bargaining as he haggled for three lemons for ten lepta, a little less than two cents.
 "The extent to which emigration has affected life in the smaller towns is shown in the typical case of the Vil- lage of Megara, on the bay or Eleusls, where the Easter dancing was once rated as famous marriage mart but which has lost that distinction, for so many of the young men have gone oft to America that the maidens now sigh alone. Time was when these mon, having accumulated the 10000 drach- mae ($2OO0) with which they might pass as rich at home came beck to open a little shop and end their days in the serni-indolence of fltful mer- chandising.
 "But at length so many had fol- lowed in this course that some or the villages in southern Greece had come to be like that island in the fable of our childhood, where the inhabitants lived by taking in each others wash ing. So scanty indeed have become these opportunities that I remember one occasion when a steamer came in with 800 Greeks on board who, haV- ing made their pile in the States had come back to sunny Hellas, but after visiting their native villages and seeing how meager were the rewards to be gained, 400 of them promptly took passage back to New York by the same ship.''
