BRITAIN RELENTING.

Critics of President Wilson, who
have harped on the emptiness Of his
diplomatic victory over Germany in
the matter of submarine warfare, will
find the American people less attentive
to them in future as consequence of
the announcement that Great Britain is
about to amend its illegal paper block
ade of Germany, established by Orders
in-Council, with an actual physical
blockade of German ports, not only on
the North sea but on the Baltic as we'll,
and that Britain is preparing to make
adjustment, in the way of reparation,
indemnity and payment for confiscated
cargoes in its seizure of American
ships.
This change in British front comes
Immediately from the prospect OF ad-
iustment of the difficulties between the
United States and Germany, in which
Britain can see the possibility of the
United States now being able to devote
it's entire attention TO its own violation
of international law.
Deriders of the diplomatic victory
over Germany declare that Germany S
realization that its submarine war had
ru nits course prompted surrender to
Wilson's contention for international
law and humanity. Undoubtedly they
will see in Britain's inclination to re-
spect that same law the same hollow
ness, in the fact that, during the time
of lawlessness, Britain has been able
to build a submarine feet with which ii
hopes to maintain an actual physical
blockade.
How much credence is to be placed
in either cry may be judged from the
fact that Germany has not abandoned

waters, but, on the contrary, has in

sharp representation by America to

for what suffering has been caused by
this tardiness.
British diplomats have demonstrat-
ed an astuteness and a grasp of in-
ternational and foreign politics that
ranks them first in the world. They
have guaged to hair American re-
sentiment and possibility of action and
have timed their reformation In block
ade matters exactly to the spirit which
would shortly have moved congress to
drastic action. Sweden's restlessness
Of British restraint, which became ap-
parent in the speech delivered from
the Swedish throne, played small part
in the British action, since Sweden's
mite would add little to the burdens

would be too heavy a handicap to be
lightly regarded.

Seoul, Korea Correspondence OF
The Associated Press)-The European
war has so far favOrbly affected the in
dustry and commerce of Korea accord
ing to M. Komatzu, commissioner OF
foreign affairs for the government gen.
eral. 1t is true, Mr.. Komatzu pointed
out, that the foreign trade in graphite,
sova beans, cotton and some other ar
ticles was disadvantageously inf1u-
enced at the outset of the war, but
this tendency has changed much for
the better The export in cereals, OK
hides, live cattle and other articles
has had an active demand especially
from Russia which has also placed
large orders for boots and ammuni-
ton pouches with Korean companies
The total figures for export durinb
the year ending July, 1915, stands
about AZ million yen or $21 100000.
This shows an increase of 51a million
yenas compared with figures for the
preceding and corresponding period.
AS for imports, prices in wheat -four,
matches, drugs and medicines and 2
few other articles rose somewhat at
the beginning of the war but fell after
wards to the usual standard. Some
fluctuation in the prices have since
been experienced, but it appears that
this cannot be charged necessarily to
the war. The total figures for imports
during the twelve months above men,
toned were about SIS million yen,
| which shows a decrease of 16 million
from the preceding year. This means
! that the excess of imports over exports
has decreased by about 10 million yen
during the period as against the pre-
ceding year.
Mr. komatzu said that difficulty was
experienced in manufactures to some
| extent owing to the scarcity of chemi-
| Gals but this seems to have been over
come at present. Among other things
| tobacco has found a new market in
China and there is good prospect in
| store for tobacco manufacture in 10
rea. He emphasized that transporta-
| ton by sea has been affected by the
war only TO very slight degree and
that even new lines of regular service
have been opened between different
ports of Korea and Vladivostock, ports
in Shantung province and other places
There is one thing. however, which
| is causing great deal of inconven-
fence to the extensive mining industry
in Korea and that is the scarcity oi
| dynamite. This is interfering serious.
ly with the engineering and mining
work. Before the outbreak of the wal
the greater part of the explosive used
in Korea was imported from Glasgow
but the quantity imported has steadily
! decreased until at the end OF las,
month 1t ceased altogether. In Japan
proper dynamite is manufactured BY
military authorities but on account OF
large orders for Russia il Is next tC
impossible TO buy the explosive either
from the government factories or pri
vate companies.
In view OF the danger that the sup.
ply OF dynamite will be completely cut
, of and all engineering work stopped

Soap and Water Distinction.

Fumigation with malodorOus or poi
sonous gas and the direct application
of druggy chemicals to the woodwork,
floor and walls of the sickroom after
scarlet fever, diphtheria and tuber-
culosis, is rapidly becoming obsolete.
Soap and water, open air and sun
light are proving more efficient, more
available and a whole lot more eco
nomical.
After all, it is persons, not things,
that carry most contagious diseases.
II we can control the human, animal
and insect carriers of disease germs
we need not worry much about So
called fomites or contaminated OBJ
jects. OF course such personal OBJ
jects as dishes, toilet articles, cloth
ing and bed-clothing must be boiled,
steam sterilized or otherwise disin-
fected after contagious disease, but
the old idea that the room itself re-
quires fumigation or chemical treat
ment is no longer upheld by our fore
most sanitarians.
DR.. Chaplin, the famous Sanitary
Superintendent of Providence, R. l.,
whose pioneer work In modern sani-
tation is now recognized all over the
world, proved years ago that it was
unnecessary and unscientitic TO fumi-
gate or disinfect premises after scar

Gently several boroughs of Greater
New York City have discontinued
terminal sinfection-relying in
stead upon soap and water, ventila-
ton and sunlight to take care of any
possible infection left in a room after
such diseases.
AS Chapin's Investigations have SO
clearly shown, there is strong doubt
that walls, woodwork, draperies and
furniture in the sickroom can harbor

PARCEL POST MARKETING.

The farmer who wishes to sell his
products by parcel post, in accordance
with the feature of the postal service
which the Rock Island postoffice was
Instrumental in developing, and the
housewife who wishes to use this meth
cd Of securing country produce for her
table, will find many useful points in
Farmers Bulletin 7o3, Suggestions for
Parcel Post Marketing" This bulle-
tin, in addition to explaining the pos
tai rates and measurement limits for
parcel post matter discusses in some
detail the types Of containers which
are most successful and the methods Of
grading and packing produce, so that
it will reach the consumer in good con-
ditiOn, and be attractive in quality and
appearance. In treating standards for
parcel post shipments, the bulletin
tells how to select, handle and pack
poultry, and how to grade and pack
the various fruits and vegetables which
the average farmer is likely to market
through the postoffice.
The bulletin points out that one of
parcel post communication between
| farmer and consumer is that the farm
er may be unwilling to offer goods at
price which attracts the customer,
or that the consumer may offer price
lower than the farmer can obtain at
a local market. To quote the bulle-
tin: y
| Not only must the farmer have some
thing additional to the usual price to
compensate him for the extra work,
container, and postage required, but
4he consumer must also have some
thing to attract him to marketing by
parcel post. In determining what the
price shall be, both the farm price and
the retail price paid by the consumer
when he markets in the ordinary way
should be taken into consideration.
The consumer must receive either a
better article at the usual retail price
Or an article of the grade usually pur-
chased at some concession in price
ut is probable that the point which
will make the strongest appeal to the
average consumer is that he can Sc
cure by parcel post a fresher, brighter,
more attractive, and thus possibly a
better product than he can obtain 9TH
erwise
The average producer, as a rule
does not realize the Importance of ap-
pearance as factor in selling goods
and frequently is careless and indiffer-
ent in preparing produce for market
The consumer, on the other hand, relies
: very largely upon appearance in Sc
lecting food supplies and unattractive
articles are passed by promptly
: "a personal acquaintance should be
established between producer and con-
Sumer, when they come into business
contact. This will help a great dea
in furthering parcel post marketing
and also will eliminate many of the
misunderstanding which may occur
from time to time. A definite under
| standing should exist as to the dutie!
Of each in regard to remittances claims
for damaged or spoiled produce and thu
preservation and return of containers.

The Daily Story
A Meeting-By Sarah Baxter.

One evening at a social gathering in
New York city a girl sat alone, and
those who passed her would have won
dered how one so attractive looking
could be a wallfower were they not
cognizant Of the fact that the higher
the social status the greater the self
ishness. To speak more plainly, the
young lady, Miss Starkweather, was
a western girl visiting an aunt, and
her way into society had not been
paved for her by certain requisites
without which an unknown girl could
not hope for any attention.
The hostess observed Miss Stark
weather sitting by herself and thought
Of a plan. She had no especial sym
pathy with the girl, but lady to
whom she was under obligations So
cially had asked for an invitation for
a man with whom her husband had
had dealings in Colorado, who had
come to New York and said her hus-
band considered it to his interest to
treat him with especial attention. The
hostess found the above named guest,
Peter Gallagher, holding his hands
with q bored look on his face and took
him to Miss Starkweather and intro
duced him.
When the young lady heard the
name and looked up into the mans
eyes it was evident that there was a
commotion in her bosom.
Gallagher, did you say?" she asked.
"Yes'm; I'm Peter Gallagher Of Colo
rado."
did you ever live In Arizona?'
II certainly did"
The man seated himself beside the
girl. who was a dozen years his jun
ior, and the two fell into an animated
conversation. Mr. Gallagher was de-
sirous Of learning what the young lady
knew about him, and by way OF reply
she told him a story.
"Once upon time" she said, "a
man, his wife and several children,
the oldest of whom was a girl Of
twelve, lived in a cabin on prairie.
There were no forests to obstruct the
view and few houses. One morning
the Oldest girl, Alice, went out of the
cabin for water with which to make
coffee for breakfast and against the
rising sun saw a horseman coming at
gallop. She watched him till he
came near, then went into the cabin
and told her father.
THE settler met the horseman at the
door, and the latter said:
There's been a murder over at Hill
ton, and your revolver with your ini-
tials carved on the handle has been
found near by. 1 don't believe it's
yours, is it?'
"'No'
"'Some one used it to put the job
on to you. The committee found it
and are coming for you. Get on your

Russia is evidently expecting that
the war will continue for awhile yet.
Orders from that country placed with
four American companies for $4,000
machine guns at $1,000 each, give some
idea of the preparation it is making
for the conflict. 1t has been stated
that 100000 Russians will be armed
for the campaign that opens in the
spring. There seems to be no indica-
ton of a pacificist movement among
the great powers thus far.
