New significance is given by recent events to the demand of certain Der lin papers a month ago that in re taliation for PortugaIs seizure Of German ships and the prospect of like action by other neutrals, Ger many should make war against Britains whole maritime trade As the VosSische Zeitung puts 1t. Brit ish trade comprises all Oversea trade, regardless of the flag under which It sails. Britain does not leave a single vessel carrying goods for Germany unm olested, even if bound for neutral ports" Therefore, in retaliation, Germany should destroy neutral ships in order to increase the scarcity of tonnage and avenge the seizure of the laid-up German ships. It IS simple logic, but rough on neutrals, -SpringfieId Republican,

That Mayor Quigley is really afraid
 to debate with Councilman o. r. Cur
 us now seems to be an absolute fact
 This gives ground for some unfavor-
 able criticism of his honor, especially
 since it was in his brain that the de-
 bate idea was born. At the Fifth Ward
 Republican club smoker several weeks
 ago he publicly remarked his regret
 that Curtis was not present that they
 might debate. Now that Curtis has
 seen fit to call his bluff, his honor.
 after first accepting, has now exhibit
 cd a distinct aversion to a verbal
 cilash with his enemy. Is it. as MT. Curtis claims, because he is agraaid to have his administration thoroughly re-
 viewed and criticised publicly? Mr. Curtis claims. because he is afraid to Wedn esday to accept or reject the of
 fer to debate. He did neither MT. Curtis went further and, openly bait ing the mayor, he claimed it was fear that prompted Quigley to keep out of the debate. But his honor still re- fused to be drawn into any contest in which he might be shown up in a dis agreed ble light and his only excuse is some boyish barley about conditions and a subject on which to debate. The | public is of the opinion that had the 1 mayor nothing to fear and had his | administration been all that could req | sonably have been desired he would l have reason to quit. But the fact re- 1 mains He refuses to debate, after 1 broaching the subject himself and even 1 agreeing to no later than Sunday last
 This debate is easily the most dis | cusscd topic of the campaign.

Other business enterprises included
45 grocery and, provision stores, and
2 g dry goods shops-an extraordinary
large number, it would seem, for a
town of less than 5000 people, but
Chicago was the center of y large
trade territory. The merchants drew
their custom from scores of miles
around, and the more progressive of
the Marshall Fields of that era reaped
a. rich harvest. The healthfulness of
pioneer life is attested by the fact
that there were only three drug stores,
and several physicians. Like the coun-
try merchants of today, however,
many of the grocers carried stocks of
simple remedies.
Chicago's domestic commerce had
its beginning ins1834, when the first
steamboat, the Michigan, made it's
appearance, followed a few weeks
later by the illinois,, the first lake
schooner. The packing industry had
it's small beginning in 1914, when a
quantity of beef was packed and
shipped to England. The. success of
this venture led to the opening of the
first cattle yards, known as the Bulls
Head" as Ashland avenue and Mad
ison street in 1848. That year is also
memorable because the Chicago &
GaIena Union railroad completed a
line of 10 miles. NJ
