made in the next five years, provided
the states contribute a like amount.
The state allotments range from
$4.5l5, $50 for Texas to 1924, 500 for
the state of Delaware. South Dako-

year. and $4lS, $50 for the fifth year.
The $40, 200. 900 forest reserve
amount is included in the appropria-
ton of $S5, OO0, 900. South Dakota's
proportionate share of forest reserve

"Empire-Made Goods"

A campaign for Empire-made goods
for this country has been started IN
this part of New Zealand, and is likely
to spread all over the Dominion. II
may have far-reaching effects, If It
meets with sufficient encouragement.
The Auckland Provincial Industrial
Association has taken the matter in
hand, and a committee has been ap-
pointed to organize the work in
Auckland, with the idea of securing
the cooperation CT all merchants, man
ufacturers, storekeepers, and others
in carrying into effect an attractive
demonstration in favor of Empire
made products. 1t is proposed to
distribute patriotic posters emphasiz-
ing the need for patriotic purchasing,
and displaying miniature posters and
in shop windows, and
distributing them TO the homes Of the
city. The financing of this scheme,
which is expected to cost from $4,000
TO $4,000, is TO be taken over by the
merchants and manufacturers of the
city.

WABASH TERMINAL
REORGANIZATION
Application for Confirmation of
Foreclosure Sale Next Step.

There will be hearing in the near
future on the application Of the reor-
panization committee Of the Wabash
Pittsburg Terminal Railway Company
for a confirmation Of the foreclosure
sale which took place last week. The

ments of the plan.
The committee announced that
holders of first mortgage bonds will
have until September to pay the
assessment Of 1910 for each $1,000
bond. The extra $40 is intended to
represent interest on the payments re-
ouired under the plan. Holders who
have paid q part Of the instruments
but who have not completed their pay
ments may do so by paying a penalty
of $3.50 bond

That is to say, in exchange for ones
labor one is able to have more. The
laborer makes more and spends more
money. Naturally, it cannot have
been equal in all directions. He
spends relatively more for some
things, perhaps, and relatively less
for others. Possibly, if you took what
was the very minimum of necessary
things and compared it with the
same measure of things Of the same
quality at the present time, the act
ual cost would be seen to have risen,
but the rise in cost would be much
less than the rise in what is consid-
cred the minimum. People would
think it grievous hardship to get
on with what they consumed in liv-
ing twenty. years ago. Their wants
have increased. The cost of the act
ual minimum of food may have
risen; the cost of Ford car has
enormously fallen, actually ana
relatively.

IAPAN'S ACTIVITY
NSOUTH
New Shipping Lines to
Ports on the Western
Coast.

Considerable interest has been mani
tested by two Of the most powerful
Japanese steamship companies during
the last few months in developing
their service along the west coast OF
South America. Prior to the war these
cornpanics had no regular schedules
but now they maintain monthly ser
vice of steamers having a tonnage OF
from $4,000 to 10000. and are obvious
" making strong efforts 10 capture the
trade.
II is stated that the important Jap
anese steamship company, Togo hlsen
Kaisha. has recently decided to aug
ment its service between Hong Kong
and Coronel, Chilli. putting on three
steamers, the Buyo Maru, Hong KonS
Maru and one other. These ships are
70 touch ut San Francisco and some OF
the principal west coast ports OF Cen
trial and South America, proceeding AS
fsr south as Coronel. The service is
to be monthly.
II is also reported here that the Jap
anese steamship company, Mitsui BUS
san Kaisha. which has headquarters Mt
Toxic. has finished negotiations for the
purchase of five CHILEAN steamers
which ply between Punta Arenas and
Atlantic and Pacific ports of South
America. The steamers are the Com,
Valenzuela, Tribe, Mott and Boris. All
will be retired from their former SER
vice and placed in the trade between
Japan, Korea and China, replacing YES
sells of a larger tonnage.
The japanese government recently
instructed the japanese consul general
AZ Lima to make an extensive tour Of
Chilli, Argentina, Uruguay and Para
quay. with a view to seeking CONNER
cial information for the improvement
of trade between Japan and these coun-
tries. He has very recently returned
from two months trip, after an ex-
tensive visit not only to the seaports
but to many Of the interior towns of
these ountries.-Reported by Consul

FROM THE
TRADE JOURNALS
Americas Motor Army.

There are 5Os,677 more cars in use
to-day than there were on January l.,
1916. There are over 100000 auto
mobiles in use in the United States
to-day, including both passenger cars
and trucks. Between January 1 and
June 80, 1916. the increase which had
taken place was not far short OF the
total increase for the whole year OF
1915. There are now three states hav-
ing over 100000 cars apiece, New
York, Ohio and Illinois, whereas on
January of this year only New York
had as many as this. Eleven states
have over 100000 machines each,
Minnesota. Massachusetts,, Indiana
and Texas having passed into this
class since January /. In thinking OF
these big figures it must not be for
gotten that the industry has been pro-
ducing a good many more cars than
those absorbed in the United States.
Since January the exports have
totaled 43,265.-The Automobile.

GERMANS DO NOT
FEAR TRADE WAR
Believe That Economic
Contest Will Not
Last Long.
Wireless ga Sdvriile 10 The Tribune.
BY ERNST KAHN.


Pinorcial Editor Of The Frdnkfurter Z-i-
tunO."
Berlin, Aug. 20.-Premier AS
quith's recent speech announcing
that England plans commercial
war against Germany after the
present war is over was not greatly
surprising to any one, although sucn
contest is not expected among
thinking Germans to last long.
In spite of the popularity of the
so-called "Mittel Europa" agita-
ton, the best economic opinion does
not believe that the most intimate
after-war relations between the
Central Powers, Bulgaria and Tur-
key can long replace Germany's
oversee business. Germany is si.-
uated on the Atlantic, not the Dar-
danelles," as one of the leading Ge--
man statesmen succinctly put 1t.
This country needs foreign mar
kets, as those markets will need the
German exports. The artificial loc&-
ing of doors cannot last long. The
European countries need an inter-
national division Of labor, especially
after the present impoverishment,
and Germany expects that this
economic pressure will break down
anv artificial barriers which the
politicians may erect.
The German steamship compI-
nies are putting these ideas into
practice and building as many
steamships as possible. The grea1-
est proof of this is the new record
breaking Hamburg-American liner,
the Bismarck, of $4,000 tons. Be-
sides, German capital draws inter
est in the federated countries.
Much is expected from the Ger
man method of farming, as the
German output of wheat per hectare
I2k acresl is 25,700 Kilograms
1889 bushelsl, against $4,000 for
bulgaria, 13,4OO for Austria and
1890 for Hungary.
As to Rumanian affairs, and the
reports that that nation is about to
Join with Germany's enemies, COM
mercial circles here point with con-
fidence to the facts that an order
for 10000 tons of German rails for
the Bucharest government has just
Teen made public, and that Rumania
has granted permission for the ex-
port of its surplus wheat.
Germany's iron output for the
last seven months was 7,6OO,OOO
tons, as compared with 6,6OO,OJo
for the same period in 1915.

A shortage in the worlds produc-
ton of wheat will cause breadstuffs
all to be dearer during the next
twelve months. The eating price Of
wheat now is over $3.50 in this coun-
try; a year ago it was under S1.20.
The price of the loaf may be adj
vanced. Bakers are preparing the
public mind for that experience. In
Great Britain there has been a lot
of feeling against the spectators,
especially the Chicago spectators,
who have been assisting the price Of
wheat to rise. This is a very an
cient feeling, shared by all consum-
ers, but until substitute for specu-
lation has been found to spread the
weight of a wheat crop over the
whole year and to regulate the con-
sumption by the price it will con-
tinue. For instance, if spectators
had not accelerated the rise in wheat
Europe would have been very large
buyer at lower prices, foreseeing as
any Spectator could the probability
of scarcity later; and then we should
have parted with our exportable sur
plus for less than perhaps it was
worth.

Food prices in the average have
touched the highest point since the
inflated prices of the Civil War pc
Rod. That is expressed in The An
nalist Index Number. Experience
has proved that this or any other in
dex number arranged to express the
average price of food will synchro-
nize with an index number arranged
to express the average price of a
great number of other commodities.
So, judged by all experience, the
United States governments great
Index Number, which contains more
than 260 commodities of all kinds,
will show for this year a new high
peak in the rise and fall Of prices.
But has the cost of living risen,
otherwise than in this statistical
way? Has it actually risen, not
since last month of last year, but
during the ten or twenty years in
which the tendency of prices has
been almost constantly to rise? Nom
statistical evidence in the negative is
everywhere. One has only to use
ones eyes and employ ones recol-
lections and contrast the present
habits of people with those of the
past-two or three or ten years ago.
Every one is consuming more goods
of all kinds. The manifestations fill
conservatives with alarm. They call
1t national extravaganza, denounce it
as an evil, and exhort the wasteful
TO repent of their ways and begin to
save. 1t is of no use. People go on
consuming more of everything
more food, richer food, more auto
mobiles, more moving pictures, more
transportation, beautiful fabrics,
gaudy shoes, and personal adorn-
ments. 1t is not confined to any
class. 1t is the prevailing case. If
people can afford so much more liv-
ing, how can it be said that the cost
Of living has risen? Prices have
risen. Actually, the cost of living,
in terms of labor, is probably lower
than ever before in this country.

ure, "a financial offensive to COM
plete the military offensive" in the
words of Neymarck, is significant.
The "Corriere della Sera," of Milan,
pointing to the absolute necessity OF
a strict financial and economic union
of the Allies, says: after two years
of war, Germany maintains in sub
stance her plan of hegemony and
conquest without compromise, and
this renders inevitable the continual
ton of the war until there is defin-
tive victory" 1t is to be remem-
bered that these expressions carry
the special infection of having been
passed by the British censor. Cor
roborative evidence is the increase
of war contracts placed in this coun-
try.
