 WASHINGTON. Dec. i0.~tnpre- cedented growth in the foreign trade in the United States has been accom- panied by & beneficial change in it's character. according Co the annual re- port of Dr. l.. l. Pratt. chief of the bureau of foreign and domestic com merce. The most important feature is am increase in exports Of manufactured goods
 Dr. Pratt predicts that America will be in a better position after fhe war than now to develop foreign trade Of uneasiness over the growing imports, he says
 There is no reason fer anxiety. The increase has been unprecedented but it has been ol. A most satisfactory character. For the most part II Is of materials not produced at all in fhis country or not produced in sufficient quantities to meet the weeds of our domestic manufacturers Before the War q considerable quantity of this material was used in Europe to manu- fracture finished goods for sale to us
 Conditions have SO changed that we find it not only profitable to do this manufacturing ourselves but aliy have engaged in manufacturing some of the materials for re-export to Eu- rope
 Figures are presented to show an ac- tual decrease of stSI000, 900 for the year in imports ready for consumption and a decrease of $257 .O00 in ciud, materials eSportcs. despite increases in both exports and Imports.
 "in connection with the change in th' character of our foreign trade say, the report. "it is interesting to note tho imports of goods Ion which no duties are collected. The increase for tho period ended June 1916 was S365. .000. 00' over the same period in 1914. Dutiable imports show decrease of S6l 900 00l for the same period"
 Export activities during the year the report says, have been greatly stabilized.
 "I believe 1t is absurd to cnntenf that European snations will be able tc do more after the war than they dit before" Dr. Pratt concludes "t beliey, that domestic wants will have to h, filled before European nations can seri. ously undertake foreign trade.r

LORD KITCHENER
AND WAR STAFF PERISH,
England's Secretary of State of War
and Staff Drowned.

Lord Kitchener, Secretary of State
of War in the English Cabinet and his
staff are reported lost in the destruc.
ton of the British cruiser Hampshire.
The party, on their way to Russia
were on board the cruiser Hampshire
when it.was sunk by mine or a Ger
man submarine off the Scottish coast.
The loss was officially announced by
the Admiralty today.
Lord Kitchener has been Secretary of
State for War since the declaration of
war with Germany, and his loss will
be felt keenly by the English, as he
waslthe one man in whom the British
Empire had put it's trust since the
lighting began in Europe.
The Hampshire was a British
cruiser of the Argyll type and carried
a crew Of 655 officers and men. After
the ship had been struck, observers on
shore saw four boats leave the sink
ing ship.
There was a high sea, and on search
ing later only one capsized boat was
found so that up to ssthe present time
little hope is held out for the safety
of any on board.

more and { was decided that the .rah
industry must be protected to the full
ertent Of the law, and the Gull law
,elating TO oysters must be carried
ont without the slightest variation.
Il was the first meeting of the COM
mission and although there was much
business discussed, no definite action
was taken. W. Thomas Kemp, chair
man ami J Edward White, of the Com
mission elected VIM. II. KiIlian, a
member Of the board. secretary. Mr..
Kilain's entire time will be spent at
the Offices of the board. The staff
consists Of Swepson Earle, engineer ;
Thomas c. B. Howard, commander,
and + Lee LeCompte, game warden.
Samuel A. Harper, of Talbot county,
was appointed chief clerk, and II. H..
Johnson, of Annapolis, deputy clerk.
No deputy commanders will be chosen
until next month. In few days the
crab inspectors will be named.
or all the duties that the new board
will assume the conservation of the
crab industry is looked upon as most
important, as as also the enforcement
to the letter of the oyster Gull law.
The crab industry in Somerset county
is said to be very extensive, and the
people of that section, who aided in
having the crab law enacted, Chair.
man Kemp said, have promised to do
everything in their power to aid the
commission.
Among the matters discussed yester-
day afternoon and which will again
be taken up in the near future was the
Gull law. Mr.. Kemp pointed out that
much attention will sbe paid to this,
and all culing must be done on the
grounds from which they are taken,
thus insuring a perpetual bed. An in
terestIng fact pointed out by Mr.. Kemp
is that more than 100000 bushels of
oysters in the headwaters of the Bay
are in danger of being drowned by the
spring freshets, and the plans for the
removal and replanting of these were
taken up. There is an oyster tax of
five cents bushel. and figuring on
the removal of but half of these oys-
,ers, Mr. Kemp declared that $40,
could be reverted to the state treas.
ury.
The new commission takes over the
work Of the Shellhsh Commission, the
Fish Commissioners for the Eastern
and Western Shore, the state game
warden and the control of the oyster
navy, under the command of Captain
