Commercial Preparedness
(By Dr. Edward B. Pratt, Chief of the Bureau of Foreign and De- mestic Commerce, Depart
 ment of Commerce)

The war gives us certain obvious advantages, many of which are tenn porary and will disappear after the signing of the peace treaty. Many people believe that we will be con- fronted with competition even more intense than that which existed be- fore the war, and that we will face in dustries better organized than our own and spurred on by necessity.
 Can we meet the situation unpre- pared? Can our industries, with put large experience in foreign trade, jump suddenly into the worlds markets and successfully usurp the positions once held by our older and more expe- rienced competitors? Or do we need to organize and gather our commer- ciaI forces and to place the nations full strength behind men of shrewd and far-seeing intelligence? Without commercial preparedness we will be powerless to take advantage of the greatest opportunity which ever came to any nation.

GERMAN ACTION
 SERIOUSLY~HITS
 HOLLAND FARMS
Loss of Millions Threatened As Result of Metal
 Trade Changes.

Rotterdam, Netherlands, March 7- | A stir has been made in the Dutch | metal industries by the latest German export measure, which amounts to the
 annullment of running contracts of
 Dutch firms with the German iron foundries and threatens the firms in question with the loss of millions of dollars
 Many of them are already turning to l England and Scotland for their raw l iron supplies, and would doubtless place big orders in America but for the abnormal freights.
 Among other measures decided on with view to counteracting the very
 unfavorab1e exchange rate against Germany, the Government in Berlin issued an export prohibition on bar fUniversaT' and strip iron, preserib- ing at the same time that consents for
 export shall only be granted where minimum price fixed by it is paid. With a view to attaining this mini
 mum price, the sale has been placed in the hands of the Steel Works Un- ion in Dusseldorf. The consequence is that the German iron works pre- vented by carrying out the contracts
 they had entered into with Dutch customers, which bonafide contractors are thus annulled in order to get high CT prices.
 A meeting of the leading Dutch en- gineering and shipbui1ding concerns and connected trades was held recent 1y at which a resolution was passed emphasizing that the carrying out of the measure in question will cause serious damage to Dutch industry, and urging the Netherlands Government to take steps to get the export prohi- bition withdrawn.
 A committee appointed and charged to make representations to the German auth horities. Some of the
 manufacturers present had already placed themselves in communication with British iron fOundries with view to obtaining their supplies, and 9 second Committee was nominated to prepare the way for securing oth- CT iron cOnsignments in that country.
 It is recognized that Germany has a right to obtain higher prices, if 1t can for it's raw iron exports so far as all fresh contracts are concerned, espec- ially when it is remembered that, ow- ing to the withdrawal of labor for the army, only 11,79O,199 tons of iron were produced in 1915, as against 14,- 398, 547 tons in 1914 and 19, ,309.172 tons in 1913. The unfairness lies, it is argued, in giving the measure re- irrespective force and applying it to contracts already signed
 No export of bar iron is now per mitted from Germany below. a price of $3.6O gold per Kilograms, which means an increase of more than 60 This loss is irrecoverable so far the manufacturers are concerned, for it is is out of the question to transfer the burden to the shoulders of their cus- toners in case of contracts already entered into.

FRENCHNENC 60 BEARDLESS TO
 HONOR AMERICANS
Yankee Ambulance Drivers Praised By General
 of Allies.

Pont-a-Mousson, France March T. The cIean-shaven American motor ambulance drivers, mostly Harvard men, who have shared in the ope- rattons around the Bois Ie Petre for nearly a year, have set fashion in Pont-a-MoUsson. The "Mussipon- tains," as the inhabitants of this old Lorraine town are called, have pur- resting here between two turns in the trenches go back beardIess in honor of the Americans"
 The garage of the section of the American Ambulance operating here is located at DieuIouard where occur red one of the bloody engagements of the battle of Nancy. There were only three cars at the beginning, but they have been increased to 25, run ming every hour of the twenty-four when there is an action on. When there's nothing doing at the front, lief post for emergencies, and the others in the garage ready for one of the systematic bombardments of Pont-a-Mousson.
 ''The Americans will have a good place in the history of Pont-a- Mousson,'' said French officer of the division, tso that later on when our children read it they may know they should perpetuate the gratitude we owe them.''
 Many V1CC1InS or the two hundred and more of shel1ings the town has en- dured owe their lives to the aid of the Amreican Ambulance drivers.
 The General commanding the divis- ion recognized their work officially in the following citation:
 Sanitary Section No. of the Ambulance. Composed of frieneds of our country they, all of them, have not ceased to make themselves noticed for their en- thusiasn, courage and zeal. Careless of danger, they have worked without despite to rescue our wounded whose gratitude and friendship they have won.' Signed: The General Com

Post Office Department
 Sets a Precedent.

The Post Office Department has set a new precedent by getting out a pamphlet dealing with it's fight with the railways over railway mail pay. The departure lies not so much in the action taken but in the manner of ta- king it.
 It is a document of attractive ap- pearance and modern make Up.'' It is the kind of thing the average man, after a glance, likes to read. Gov oTnment publications do not often have this sort of appearance.
 The arguments are set forth in the sim mp1est language. It is shown con- vjncingly that the railroads are not underpaid for carrying the mails and that a change in the method of ad- justing mail pay is very much needed in order to assure the public the maxi mum use of the Parcel Post
 It is stated upon the cover that the booklet is issued in response to many requests from individuals, business men, pubH Hcations, boarGs of trade and Members of Congress for the facts re- lating to the subject.

Preventing "War" at Home

As the European war continues and more and more thousands of lives and more and more millions of money are sacrificed you hear more and more of this idea: If there were a superior tribunal, agency, or authority, recognized as su- perior by all nations, which could speak through the noise of the she'll i fire and say coo11y, ''you all agree this is supreme folly, so why not sit down quietly together and settle it,'' the war might be stopped and other wars pre- vented.
 A strike means a little war All the passion entering into war enters into strikes. The difference is that the Government now supplies between groups of citizens the superior agency lacking between nations.
 Since March 4, 1913, when the De- partment of Labor was created, so la bor disputes involving actual or threat justed by the Departments division of mediation and conclnat1on. In 1S instances, the governments efforts have failed. Twenty-seven cases are pending. In the so cases, more than 150,0Oo workmen were directly af- fected and more than 22O,00O indirect 1y affected The work is purely in dustrial; questions affecting railway operation are specifically excepted from the Jurisdiction of the Depart ment of Labor and placed under the U. s. Board of Mediation and Concilia- tion.
 The Departments mediation and conciliation work is rapidly increas- ing. Thus in the entire fiscal year ended June 30, last, there were .26 annfcabIe adjustments, 10 cases in which the Departments efforts failed and A cases pending, a. total of 40 cases handled. In the five months from July 1, 1915, to December 1, 1915, there were 28 anica,bIe adjust ments, four failures, and 21 cases pending, a total of B cases handled.
