alton and other attendant war evils.
l confess that year ago when wooden
mill men talked bearishly about the situa-
tion and the probable scarcity of materials
that entered into the manufacture Of a suit
of clothes, branded it as "bunk."
l was chump.
Of course, if would have harked back
to the time of the Civil war and consulted
the records, the startling truth of high
prices would have been revealed.
You know, good suit of clothes cost
from SIS to $780, calico was S1.25 yard;
cotton rose to So pound; everything else
was proportionately high during the Civil
war in America from 81 to '65.
What follows here is not prophecy, but
facts
Unless there is an immediate termination
of the European war, there will be cloth
ing famine in America within year.
You will be able to buy high-priced
clothing, but the popular or medium grades
will be off the market.
Europe is now consuming every pound
of the worlds supply of wool in the cheaper
grades at this ratio: It uses every seven
months quantity equal to the annual pro-
duction in the known world
1t takes some arithmetic to figure how
that can be true; but it is.
Wool is used over and over again. first
as straight worsted yarns, then as mid
dlings, and finally as shoddy.
This applies to conditions when people
are on peace basis In war, it is different.
Statisticians estimate that suit of
clothing in the trenches lasts one month,
when, for sanitary reasons and because it
becomes vermin-infested, it must be
burned
That is the reason there are no "come
backs when we ship wool goods to Europe
They are destroyed, and hence the largest
source Of once-used-wool supply is cut off.
We are now feeling the first effect of
that scarcity. Every day the war lasts, the
more acute becomes the situation.
The day for the $40, SIS, $50 and S25 suit
is waning and fast.
Everything entering into the manufac-
ture of a suit has advanced from 20 to 5000
per cent. And it is soaring every day.
The dyes are specially scarce. Ordinary
colors that used to cost Is cents a pound,
are now worth $40 a pound, and unobtain-
able at that
You don't believe it?
Look at the color of the next &c stamp
you buy; it is so light in shade it looks
cheap and tawdry.
Your clothes will soon be as bad Get
the Saturday Evening Post of May 9Th and
read what we are due to have in America
in the way of high priced clothing within
three months unless the war ceases.
And then in the face of this situation,
ponder over this: am offering on sale for

HOW THE GERMANS
 STRUGGLED COPPER

According to statements of a well known New York business man who has just arrived from Holland, two clever German schemes to smuggle contraband of war through Dutch territory had been discovered and to an end.
 German agents, it is stated, gath cred large quantities of copper in Holland and had it moulded info anchors. German barges and other light craft coming down the Rhine to Dutch ports would leave their iron anchors and replace them with the copper implements painted black Which false anchors hung in full view on the catheads of the Ger man boats, would be taken back on the return trip. This ruse was discovered by British agents in Hol- land and reported to the Dutch Authorities.
 A Dutch railroad inspector, exam ming a trainload of cement blocks bound for Germany, accidently tap- ped one of the bricks with a ham, mer, where upon the block cracked and benzine gushed out. The blocks were hollow and each filled with the precious spirit.-Central News

THERE ARE MANY
 WHO SUSPECT
THAT GERMAN SUBMARINES FOLLOWED THE GERMAN
 CRUISER
ON WAY CROSSING
WITH INTENTION OF OPERAT- ING ON THE AMERICAN
 SEA COAST

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-An associ- ated press correspondent interview ed naval officer this morning in reference to the German cruiser with the British prize at Hampton Roads, and learned that among the naval officials it is the general be- lief that German submarines accom- panied the cruiser across the water which supplied them with the sup plies on the way and with the in- tention of operating on te American coast. One of the officials said that they have many reasons to be- lieve that such was the case. From that, it is inferred that the United States will send out cutters in an endeavor to discover the submarines.

THAT UNITED STATES WILL HAVE TO MAKE SOME
 DECISION

WASHINGTON, Feb. D. The British liner Appan that was brought into Hampton Roads yesterday in charge of German crew and under it's flag is presenting other com- plications that the department of state will have to decipher. Many there are who believe that the Uni ted States can take the boat as we'll as the cruiser and hold them as prize ships.
 There are no precedents to this case and therefore involve ques- tion that may prove of interest, say officials at the department.
