The enormous extent of recent gains
in the export trade of the United
States is disclosed in statistics issued
by the department of commerce. To
tai exports to the various countries
for the first eight months of the cal
endar year were in many cases mill
lions of dollars greater than those Of
the entire fiscal year of 1914.

Denmark, 14O per cent; to Italy, y129
per cent; to the United Kingdom, |103
per cent; to Sweden, "a per cent; to
Cuba, AZ per cent, and to Japan, IS
per cent.

months of $1,73O,0OO,O00 in favor Of
the United States and department Of
ficials predict that by the end of the
year it will exceed $2,500,000,000. The
total exports amounted to $3,345, $780,
212, an increase of $1,205, o82,01O over
the same eight months a year ago.
The largest gain was in exports to
the United Kingdom, which took near
~ one-third of all goods exported from
the United States in that period.
They amounted to $1,207,751, 939,
showing an increase of $554,000,000
over the same eight months last year
and $731, 100000 more than the en-
tire fiscal year Of 1914. France, the
second best customer Of the United
States, took goods valued at $544,475,-
900, an increase of $211, 100000 over
the previous eight months and 1884,
100000 more than 1914. Canada was
third, taking $373,736,569, an increase
Of $163,O00,0OO over the eight months
of last year, but only $29,0oO,000
more than 1914.
Russia in Europe and Asia took
$500, 362,626 worth, an increase Of
$21e,Oe0,o0O over the previous eight
month period. Greece's imports from
the United States amounted to $685.
5e7,141, compared with $1,1o0,00o in
the whole fiscal year before the war.
Exports to Germany and Austria
have almost ceased. Decreases for
the eight months when compared
with the same period last year were
shown in exports to Denmark, The
Netherlands and Sweden, but the to.
tails, except for The Netherlands, ex-
coed those of the fiscal year 1914.

This Is what happened on a noun
tain top to the east of here the other
day when a detachment from Company
A, Signal Corps, o. NJ. D. c.. took part
in war game" with troops from the
22d Infantry. In harnessing the horses
to reel cart carrying wire for laying
field lines, some one forgot to attach
insulators to the traces where they con-
meet with the single trees. By reason
of this oversight the horses were put
into the circuit of the current and
every impulse that came along the line
sent shock through their bodies. 1t
was a new sensation to them; one that
they could not escape no matter how
hard they plunged or high they reared.
A million horse flies seemed to be
biting them at once and they continued
to do so until the cart was overturned
and both horses had been thrown by a
tangle of harness. Then some one cut
the wire, broke the circuit and the flies
stung no more.
