Bulgaria followed her armed alliance
with the central powers by a trade al
lance. Then the news came along from
Bucharest. the capital of Rumania,
saying that Austria Hungary and
Rumania had reached a complete
agreement in regard to the excnange of
merchandise. and that commercial
treaty had been signed based on the
same conditions the treaty between
Germany and Rumania. This showed
that Austria was acting in concert with
Germany.

cooperation of half a dozen countries in
armed hostilities than in economic hos
tilities. Fiscal systems and national pol
icies do not have to be readjusted. No
question of tariffs and trade relations en-
ters into armed hostilities-
The interparliamentary economic con-
ference of the entente allies at its ses-
sions in Paris passed resolutions rec
ognizing that the damage caused by the
war in the countries represented should
be repaired. and that enemy countries
should be obliged in the treaty of peace
to replace all materials and machines
necessary for the resumption OF industrial
activity in the occupied regions. This
meant chiefly Belgium and the parts Of
man army and in which are situated
much of Frances richest iron ore and
coal deposits
The conference succeeded in avoiding
to commit itself on some questions where
divergent economic theories, such as free
trade and protection, would make it diff
ficult to agree. But there cannot be an
economic alliance among the entente
countries after the war unless these diver
gent economic theories are at least par
TALLY harmonZed.
In England and France, at the present
time. there is very strong sentiment In
favor of a private boycott which would
eliminate some of the international DIFF
ficulties when the peace treaty that must
come some day is arranged The gov
ernments might not commit themselves
would compel French firm or an Eng
lish firm to buy German products, if they
did not choose to do it. Conversely there
is nothing which would compel Germans
10 buy British or French products If they
were willing to get along without them.
The war has demonstrated that all of
the belligerent countries can produce for
themselves some articles which heretofore
they have bought from other countries.
This. in particular. has been true of ar
ticles entering into the manufacture of
war munitions, but it extends TO a great
many other products which are con-
sumed by industries of the different
countries.
In the end. the question of these inter-
national boycotts resolves itself into one
of international inconvenience. While
England formerly bought large quantities
of emi-manufa ctured products from
Germany, equally large purchases of Brit
ish products for use in her own industries
were made by Germany. Put in popular
parlance, international boycotting is "a
game that two play at.
In the economic sense the question is
Evening star., 1916-06-04

one of the relative value of markets
and the ability of the various countries
to readjust their fiscal policies and
their trade relations so that they will
buy from one another what heretofore
they have bought from the enemy
countries. This is the basic proposi-
tion which must be considered in all
the talk of economic alliances after the
war. 1t has palpable limitations and
reservations. yet something may be
done along general lines if. when arms
are laid down, the popular passions
and the resentment of statesmen, or
presumed statesmen, continue as
strongly as at present.
Geographically. the proposition is to
form a sort of an economic union or
Great Britain, France, Belgium, Italy
and Russia, against the central powers.
Off in the far east is Japan as a factor.
There are also the British and the
French colonies with Germany's lost
colonial possessions also to be taken
into consideration.
The German empire in the past has
had the economic advantage. The
zollverein. customs union of the
German states, was the beginning OF
Germany's trade expansion The de-
feat of France at Sedan. and the treaty
of Frankfort. under which humiliating
terms of peace were imposed on
France. gave Germany some advan
tage in her trade relations, although
France gradually overcame this by her
adroit economic legislation.

Germany also was able to enforce
her economic policy on Russia through
Russia's inability to fight with arms

to the tale by some lover of exagger-
ated and extravagant detail
An example of a we'll known animal
whose tail acts in the same queer way
al does that of the glass snake when
violently treated is the American cha-
Tneleon. In both the chameleon and the
glass snake nature has provided great
powers of resistance to accidents OF
this sort. and it has been noted that
new tail grows very quickly on these
animals after the old one has been
broken off.
The tracing of such myths and fables
is very interesting task. One of the
most curious of nature stories is that
regarding the so-called "barnacle-
geese" a variety of geese, which by
the naturalsts of the middle ages We're
believe to be produced by barnacles.
Nearly every one is familiar with the
bsrnacle. which is kind Of crab in
closed in a triangular shell attached
the bottom of ships or floating drift
wood of the sea beach. II one OF these
little animals is seen in its native
waters, 4 beautiful little series of
teathery plumes may be observed wav-
ing backward and forward. attached
20 the organs within the shell. These
arc the barnacle's feet and they serve
not only 10 sweep food particles into
the mouth, but also to act s its breath
ing organs.
Row such an animal could have pos
sibly given origin to a goose affords
ner in which the fable of one year be
comes transmitted and transformed
the secure belief of the next
Literature concerning the barnacle-
geese dates back to 1854. and quaint
old work of this time tells, after de-
scrihing the barnacle itself that "in
process Of time. having been clothed
with a strong coat OF feathers. 1t either
falls into the water or flies freely away
into the air" The author continues by
saying that ne has seen more than a
thousand of these small bodies Of birds
hanging down from one piece of timber
inclosed in shells and already formed.
1t is to be supposed that he presumes
the barnacles to be geese in an unde-
Veloped state. He further adds that
bishops and clergymen in some parts
Of Ireland do not scruple TO dine off
these birds at times of fasting. because
they are not flesh nor born of flesh
A great many of the natural histories
up TO the middle of the sixteenth cen
tury contain serious discussions OF the
minute particulars of the production of
these IA hulous geese.

increased our trade materially with
South America in consequence or the
European war.
Misleading comparisons are made
with the first year of the war IN order
to show that our commerce with South
America has increased materially. but
that was n year of abnormally poor
buying power on the part of South
America. due partly to commercial
crisis which was at Its height when
the hostilities broke out. due partly to.
also. the financial dislocation caused
by the war A comparison with the
year 1912 or 1913 shows practically no
increase.
Nevertheless. the United States has
got a better footing in South America.
The extension of American banks has
opened up a new chapter under which
trade based on American investments
may be expected. This development
is certain to increase the zeal of the
European countries to keep us out Of
South America after the war closes.
They cannot, however. control the
South American countries themselves,
and though European parties to the
two sets of economic alliances which
are in prospect may be equally inter-
ested in crowding out the United States,
they will not be able to do IT. They
will have to consider this country as
the unknown factor in the equation of
South American trade.

out In his sleep that Henry Craven, who
ten years before had ruined his father

ton Toye. who shares the stateroom with
him, knows Craven and also Blanche
Macnair. former neighbor and play
mate. When the daily papers come
aboard at Southampton Toye reads that
Craven has been murdered and calls
Cazalet's dream second sight. He thinks
of doing a little amateur detective work
on the case himself. In the train to town
they discuss the murder. which was COM
mitted at Cazalet's old home. Toye hears
from Cazalet that Scruton. who had been
Cazalet's friend and the scapegoat for
Cravens dishonesty. has been released
fiom prison. Cazalet goes down the
river and meets Blanche. Toye also
comes to see her and tells Cazalet that
Scruton has been arregted, but as he
doesn't believe the old clerk il guilty he

REMARKABLE CHANGE.
In statistical survey Of the first six
months Of prohibition IN As1sona. Jan
uary to July 1, 1915. Thomas X. Mar
shall shows the marked improvements
In all phases Of state life. Crime. in
counties where saloons existed during
1914. fell on 37.3 per cent when the
saloons were closed. This insured . saw
ing to- taxpayers Of $50.773.98 In de-
creased cost Of arrests and prosecu-
tions. Even more striking are the fig-
ures for the cities and towns. With .
total decrease OF 2,403, or SOL per cent
in the number OF arrests for the first
six months of 1915 as compared with
the same months of 1914. the saving
amounts to $85,17014. This almost of
sets the entire amount of liquor license
revenue, $100,998, which was surren-
dered by the cities of the state
The record Of the city of Phoenix is
perhaps the most remarkable OF any.
Over $5.000,00O increase in taxable
wealth, decrease in tax rate and about
$4,000 less in cost of city government
for six months, is credited to the capi-
tai city of Arizona for the first half
Of 1914. The decrease in arrests for
drunkenness for the first six months
of 1915 perhaps surpasses that of any
city of its size in the United States.
The number Of arrests for 1914 was
1.210 and for 1915 was s5. The per
capita cost of arrests for 1914 was
$6.53. With 1.125 fewer arrests for
the six months Of 1918 for this cause
there was . decreased cost Of $7,34e.35
to the city.
Savings banks accounts in the state
increased nearly 100000 the first six
months, and the deposits of all banks
increased nearly $3,0o0,000 up to Sep
tember, 1915.
The children Of the state are feeling
the benefit OF prohibition. There were
for the first six months Of 1915 1000
more children in school than for the
same period of 1914. The registration
at the state university also shows an
increase Of Sc per cent over the regis
tration for 1914.
