GERMANY WOULD
GIVE UP NOTHING
Her Submarine War Has Been Profit
less to Her and Has Hurt Her
Enemies Very Little

1915. Industrial France is recovering
from the 1914 paralysis by leaps and
bounds and apparently has not dis
covered that submarines exist to de-
lay her recovery.
Italy has been little affected. In
February, 1914, the eight months
figures on the Italian reports were
$35, 100000. The first year of the war
they fell to $34, 100000. For this year
they are $34,30O,000.
Who would guess that the current
fiscal year, during the first eight
months of which Great Britain sent
US more goods than during the cor
responding portion of the last year of
peace, Italy fell only few hundred
thousand below peace figures, and
France II per cent over the year be-
fore, had been year during which
Germany has bent all her energies to
Kidding the seas, by fair means and
foul, of the commerce of her enemies
You would never suppose from the
foreign trade statistics of the United
States that a single foreign ship had
been interfered with.
Never was there so much cry over
so little wool as in the German conten-
ton over the submarine warfare. This
mode of fighting is wholly Intellectual
with respect to the only benefit it
could opssibly confer on Germany
the prevention of normal trade of
Germany's enemies with neutral coun-
tries. So far as the trade with the
chief neutral country with Germany's
chief enemy is concerned, it is actu-
ally larger today, even on the import
side, than it was during the last year
of peace. All talk of the necessity
of submarine warfare to the preserv-
alton of Germany's continued exist
ence is arrant nonsense. There is not
a single fact to support such an idea
If Germany gives up submarine
warfare, all she will sacrifice is the
feelings of certain misguided officials
and the Governments prestige with q
certain section of the German people
The submarine warfare thus far has
not been a factor at all in the worlo
of international trade. From the
commercial viewpoint, it is mere nag
cling. 1t has accomplished nothing
There is no evidence at hand that il
has even retarded the industrial ant
commercial recovery of England anc
France. When she has given it up
Germany will be exactly as strong as
she was before, so far as all tangible
advantage is concerned; and she will
be UNNECESSARILY stronger on the side
of what Bismarck called "the weight
of the imponderables." In the pitiless
light of the foregoing facts of inter
national trade, the reports that Ger.
many will yield to the demands of this
Government take on new meaning
The real difficulty is not the value Of
submarine warfare; it is the matter
of Saving the face" of the officials
identified with the "frightfulness'
campaign.-St. Louis Republic.

If the suggestions contained in the
following article from the Cincinnati
Enquirer should result from the Flu
ropean war, it would seem that the
United States made a financial blum
der when it repudiated the double
standards:
Though the increase has been al
most insensible in its upward trend,
the steady advance in the price of sill
yer bullion is being observed by the
watchful eyes of the real leaders Of
the financial world. In yea. ii has
gone up 10 per cent, and there have
been no recessions. The peering eyes
are seeking the destination OF these
bars of white metal, and there exists
behind them much anxiety. What is
feared is that the allied nations of
Europe, now practically bankrupt IN
der the new weight of thirty billions
of war debts, being shifted from the
creditor to the debtor class, will re-
habilitate silver, remonitize it as le-
gal tender for debts and so scale their
obligations as to avoid reputation.
The nation to be watched by the
American financiers is England, who

The abandonment by Germany of
submarine warfare against the COM
merce of belligerents and neutrals is
purely matter of national pride and
prestige. 1t is not a military question
at all, but rather one of internal Ger
man politics. If Germany gives up
submarine warfare she will give up
no advantage; for there is no advan-
tage in it to give up.
These statements are inevitable de-
auctions from statistical facts contain
ed in the report-just received-of
United States imports and exports by
countries for the month of February,
and for the first eight months, ending
with February, of the present fiscal
year.
We see from this statement that
during that month, in which the sub
marine campaign was in full swing,
the United States sent about three
times the normal exports of two years
ago to Great Britain and Italy, and
five times the normal to France and
Russia.
But the real revelation comes
through the import statistics. In Feb

ADvERTIsING-THE ONLY WAY

"Too many merchants are like the
tie Western city. He engaged new
manager and the new man started
out to do lot of advertising. The
owner of the sore said: Son, don't
waste our money. Everybody in
these parts knows me, and don't sup
pose there is a person in this whole
community that doesn't buy some
thing in this store in the course of a
year."
This story was part of speech by
]. B. Powell, instructor in advertis-
ing in the University of Missouri at
Columbia, before the Western Illinois
Retail Lumbermen's Association, at
Galesburg, Ill.,, on Better Business
and Better Advertising" Mr.. Powell
finished his story as follows:
"The new man got busy and in
about a month, approached the owner
of the store and said: Sir, I've had
a couple of young men collecting fig
ures that will interest you. Though
you have been in business in this To-
cation for thirty-eight years, 4 have
here the rames and addresses of hun
dreds of people-many Of them old
timers, too-who claim they never
bought dollars worth of goods in
this store. | have an extended list,
as you can see, of persons who say
they never heard of this store. There
are two clerks working down stairs,
who told me they didn't know the name
of the man who owns the business.
There are between five and six thou
sand people on the average, moving
into this community every year, and
we've got to reach them. Advertis-
ing is the only way we can do it,"

a shortage of binder Irvine for this
reason. The Missouri State Peniten-
tiary having limited quantity on
hand will reserve orders for future
shipment to the farmers and dealers
within the State for the next fifteen
days, as long as the supply lasts, at
91ac f. o. b. Jefferson City, in small
quantities, and Sc in quantities of

All people in America and especial
ly those who are past middle age are
prone to eat too much meat and in
consequence deposit lime-salts in their
ARTERIES, veins and joints. They oft
en- suffer from twinges of rheumatism
or lumbago, sometimes from govt,
swollen hands or feet. Such people
are not always able to exercise suffi-
GENTLY in the outdoor air or drink
enough pure water in order to sweat
freely and excrete impurities thru the
skin. DR.. Pierce has conducted ex-
periments and thoroughly tested a
uric acid solvent at his Invalids' Ho-
tel and Surgical Institute which he is
convinced is many times more potent
than lithia -this he named "Anuric."
1t can be had at almost all drug stores
by simply asking for Dr. Pierce's An
uric for kidneys or backache. 1t will
overcome such conditions as rheuma-
tism, dropsical swellings, cold extrem-
tiles, scalding and burning urine and
sleeplessness due to constant need of
getting out of bed at night.

WHAT TO DO FOR
YOUR ITCHING SKIN

Eczema, ringworm and similar itch
ing, skin eruptions are so easily made
worse by improper treatment that one
has to be very careful. There is one
method, however, that you need not
hesitate to use, even on a baby's ten
der skin-that is, the resinol treat
ment. Resinol is the prescription of
Baltimore doctor, put up in the form
of resinol ointment and resinol soap.
This proved so remarkably successful,
that thousands of other physicians
have prescribed it constantly for over
20 years.
Resinol stops itching instantly, and
almost always heals the eruption
quickly and at little cost. Resinol
ointment and resinol soap can be
bought at any druggists, and are not
at all expensive.

of $4,000. The Basin company owns
group of five claims adjoining and
south of the Hercules group and ly-
ing between the Laclede on the west
and the Stanley, which is understood
also to be controlled by the Hercules,

people is presumed to be on account
of it's convenience for tunneling from
