Paris, Feb. 16.-The destruction of
TWO allied warships with the loss of
384 lives was reported Monday
Three hundred and seventy four
lives were lost when the French
cruiser Admiral Charnes was sunk off
the Syrian coast Dispatches con-
firming the loss Of the cruiser said
that only one man, out of 375 aboard,
was saved The ministry of marine
gave out statement expressing fear
for the safety of the Admiral Charner,
4 4,6S0-ton cruiser. 1t was stated that
no word had been received from her
since Feb. 8, when German report
stated that French warship had
been torpedoed by a German subma-
rine.
Ten seamen were killed when the
British cruiser Arethusa was blown
up by a mine, off the east coast Of
England. The Arethusa, which has
figured in some of the most thrilling
English naval exploits of the war. is
believed to be total wreck.
The Arethusa, a light cruiser, built
in October, 1918, had several encoun
ters with German torpedo boats and
other warships early in the war, and
| became known as the daredevil of the
English fleet. Her exploits inspire
| several English poets to create
rhymes in her honor, and the Are

Ky GOV. ERNEST LISTER.

The past six weeks have developed
n much more active lumber mar
ket and the prospects for 1916 bust
ness are better than has been the case
in many years past. Recent SHOWS in
the wheat growing districts OF the
state have improved the prospects for
the 1916 crop. There is a steady de-
velopment In the live stock industry
or the state. especially along dairying
lines, and each year is improving the
grades OF stock owned by the dairy
men.
In relation to the effect that the war
has had on business conditions in the
State of Washington and will continue
to have In 1916 ! might say tina, with
u doubt many business concerns in
the state have benefited by war orders
and no doubt further war orders will
be placed in the State during 1910
should the war continue during that
year.
There are no exact or even approyl-
mate figures available covering the
unemployment situation in the State
at this time. Speaking In general
terms, however. ! would say that the
proportion OF persons out OF en-
ployment at the present time il con-
siderably smaller than at this time a
year ago. -

II Is true that Michigan has not been
directly interested in the manufac-
ture of munitions of war as much as
some of the other States. 1t cannot
be denied that the war has been in
strumcntal in bringing about an era
Of prosperity in the iron and copper
regions Of the north, with those en-
gagged in the manufacture of medi-
cines. and. in fact. chemicals of all
descriptions. In addition. the demand
for food supplies has increased the
price OF the staple farm commodities
and that in turn has created a larger
purchasing power in the rural dis
tricts.
As to What effect may be expected
II the war should continue another
year. would say hat IL would he
n veal OF pros perity AZ far as Michigan
Ii concerned. and might even in actual
results he more profitable from n
money standpoint, than The present
year.
In replying to the inquiry in regard
to the approximate number OF I'M
employed in this State. I would say
that the number is away below ror-
ma and | have doubts IL there is a
vell equipped. able bodied men in
Michigan to-day who is really looking
for work who cannot find It.

LITTLE FEAR OF BAD EFFECT
ON i. S. THROUGH LONG WAR

conflict was at that time having on
the business conditions in general in
the State. As a result Of that inves-
tigation we found that the business
conditions were In a far more de-
pressed state than at possibly any
other time in the history Of the State.
Every line Of industry has reduced
the number Of employees to the very
lowest possible point. In the lumber
industry, one OF the principal indus
tries OF the State. business was vir-
tually at a ~standstill. Many Of the
large concerns closed down, throwing
out Of employment hundreds OF men.
The coal mines were not working
more than one-fourth time and en-
ploying considerably reduced forces.
The low price OF cotton during 1914
due to the war prevented many farm
crs from meeting their obligations
and In turn the furnishing" mcr-
chants we're unable to advance sup
plies only in limited quantities for the
1915 crop.
Reports coming in to this Office at
this time. covering a period from June.
1918. to July. 1914. indicate that the
European war retarded business in
general at least so per cent.
AT this time business In general
has revived and II can be said that
Arkansas is In better condition to-day
than for many years. The farmers
were compelled to cease the one crop
idea and produce more OF the products
consumed on the farm. This, with
the advanced price Of cotton. the sta
pie crop. has enabled them to dis
charge their debts Of 1914 and 1915
and TO a very great extent relieve
them from the mortgage system.
During the last three months the
lumber interests have resumed activ-
ity and mills are running full time,
and in many instances double shifts
are employed.
The advance in price Of zinc and
lead has caused the northwest section
of h State to anticipate a business
boom. as in this section there is prob
ably some OF the richest zinc and lead
mines in the country virtually unde-
veloped. With the price Of lead adj
vanc!ng from $3S n ton to si10 capt.
tai has been attracted to this section.
land indications are that greater pros
spcrity than in years will he enjoyed
by this section Of the State.
The coel Industry is about the onl,
industry in the State not receiving its
share Of the return OF prosperity. Less
coal Is being mined than In former
years. But in the coal section OF the
State numerous gas and oil wells are
being sunk and at present that section
is furnishing much natural gas.
The banks Of the State are in a more
prosperous condition than for a mum.
her Of years, as at this time deposit.
are heavier and collections are reportc,
good.
The State OF Arkansas Is rapidly re.

Com iSsiOncr Of Commerce and
Labor

Requested by Gov. Harris To an
swer your questions. | beg to state
that at the present time industrial and
business conditions in Georgia are much
better than they have been for the
last few years. and there is every rea-
son to believe that these improvements
will be more marked when It is seen
in the spring that the farmers have
decided 10 reduce permanently the
cotton acreage and to increase corre-
~spondingly the acreage OF food produc-
ing crops. The farmers have become
convinced that an e.even million bale
crop OF cotton Is worth more than a
sixteen million hale crop and costs
much less to produce. The 1915 crop
o. cotton sold and is selling for n bet
ter price than the most %sanguine
farmer expected when tho crop was
planted and Was made with only
about 60 per cent. Of the commercial
fertilizers commonly used. Not only
that. but cotton seed sod for a rec
ord price. Having cut the cotton
acreage. reduced the cost OF CONNER
c!al fertilizers and having harvested a
big food crop, the farmers have been
.tIlt ~ l.IllGt I IL llSlb Nv va
OF Their Indebtedness and will begin the
1916 crop with less maturing obiiga-
lions and more foodstufs on hand
than ever before in the history or
Georgia. They nov face the boil wee
vii with less concern thnn otherwise
might be the case.
Business conditions in Georgia are
therefore good and growing better
daily. Virtually every Industry In the
state is now running or full time and
many are operating with night shifts.
This is particularly tru Of the textile
nils.
Perhaps not In a decade have the
prospects been 50 bright for the textile
interests, There is a big demand for
all kinds of cotton goods and even the
fabrics not heretofore profitable ale
now selling at a price which leaves
a good margin to the manufacturer.
There ia no denying the fact that
war orders have done much to stimu-
late this industry, though the return
OF confidence means more to the manu-
facturer than the profits received from
goods shipped to the war zone
Another year of war cannot injuri-
ously affect conditions in Georgia. We
have discounted the war for at least
twelve months. In my judgment the
war cannot d!sastrously affect this sec
ton IL it should last for five or ten
years.
Al Of this meas. of course. that the
unemployed in Georgia number much
less than in the spr!ng and summe
OF this year. In fact, while there may
be a number who cannot get employ
ment in special trades, still work OF
some kind can be secured. In a short
time it seems certain that those who
may be still out OF work can go back
to their regular trades at remunerative
wages.

AssOciatiOn.
Ohio Is again enjoying a moderate
form of prosperity. There has been a
revival OF industry in many lines and
our merchants arc reporting a holiday
trade in excess OF n TO- the last
three years. Generally this partial
revival can be ascribcd to two causes:
We have been blessed with b%oun;eous
crops. which were marketed at top
prices. putting our agricultural ele-
ment In fine condition. The second
cause. OF course. is the demand made
for American products by the war in
Europe. while this demand in Ohio
has directly affected the steel pro-
duccrs aad metal workers. shoe manu-
facturers and producers of leather
goods ami textiles. 1t las also st'mu-

Idaho.
By GOV. VI. ALIEN &NDER.

The industrial conditions of Idaho
are more prosperous than ever
before. Idaho being an agricultural
state. both irrigated and dry farming
being followed successfully. The pro-
duction OF the soil is it's largest in
dustry. and the prosperity OF the state
Is gagged by that condition.
During the last year the State has
produced greater quantities OF every-
thing from the soil than ever before
in the history of the State, and our
condition is highly prosperous. our
principal crops are oats, wheat. bar
ley. corn; our livestock industry con-
s!sts OF raising in quantities cattle.
horses. sheep and hogs. We have
large sugar beet factories and beets
are raised In quantities for that pur-
pose, and the output this year is
greater than ever before.
our prosperous condition Is not due
TO any wal effect. but Is based upon
the sound production of the neces-
sar.es of life. for which there is an
open market everywhere.
The result Of the war. so far as
Idaho is concerned. to a certain en-
ten has been manifested in the price
of lead. zinc and copper. Of which
Idaho is a large producer. In fact,
Idaho produces about one-third of the
lead of the United States. Those large
lead properties are located in north
Idaho and have never been shut down
during their history.
There are virtually no unemployed
In Idaho.
The State has many thousands Of
acres Of land at $40 al acre at forty
years time in which to pay for il,
thus giving every one an opportunity
to participate in the prosperity OF
Idaho.
