American Firms in Canada.

During the last few months a num-
Der of United States manufacturers
have established branch plants in Can
ada Some of these branches are en-
gagged largely in assembling plant.
Others carry on a manufacturing bust
ness. and many manufacture a portion
Of an article in their Canadian works,
utilizing imported parts for completing
the article. According to an investiga-
tion conducted two years ago. there are
more than four hundred United States
branch establishments in operation in
this country, Of which over three hun
dred are in Ontario. The discussion
among the Allies and the Dominions
regarding favorable tariffs among them
after the war has undoubtedly given an
impetus to the present movement which
is bringing TO Canada, and particularly
TO Ontario. many more branch estab-
lishments Of United States concerns. 49,

in China from purely business motives
and thus help exploit the Unreasonable

objected that such investments by for

EUROPE TAKES HUGE
TONNAGE OF MEATS
Our Exports to Belligeren'S
TrebIed Since 1914.

Rellieerent Europe is drawing hea'
ilv upon the meat supply of the l n''eu
States. Despite the marked decrease
n tho number of food animals IN TINS
copntrv the export Of meats has treoled
since the beginning Of the war ana
beef exports alone are ten times a.
much as before the war
Figures compiled by the iorelg'
trade department Of the National o''y
Rank show that the exports Of meat o.
all kinds. which aggregated 455.OOO'ooo
mounds in the fiscal year of 1914. the
wear Immediately preceding the war
iumped 10 Ss5.OOO,OOO pounds in 1915
and 1889 100000 in 1915.
The quantity Of fresh beef exported
rose from 100000 pounds in 1914 10
40 1000. 900 pounds in 1915 and 23l,OOO'-
900 pounds in 1915. Of beef of all
kinds the exports of 1916 were prac-
ticallv ten times as much as those OF
1914. having been 32O,OOOOOO pounds in
1916 against 33.OOO.OOO pounds in 1914
IN the two years of war the exports OF
beef Of all kinds has to5slled $4,000
600 pounds.
This large demand upon our beet
supply is all the more striking IN view
Of the fact that the supply of beef cat
tie is now only about two-thirds as
much per capita as a decade ago. The
increase in exports of meats occurred
almost exclusively in the movements to
the countries at war. In 1916 Great
Britain took 100000 pounds. France
10000 900 pounds and Italy 100000
mounds

son. Topeka & Santa Fe. who was at
the New York Office OF the company
Yesterday. intends 10 fight TO hnish
the eight-hour law passed at the re
cent session of Congress. Following
remarks made by him few days ago,
that the Atchison would contest in the
courts the constitutionality Of the act
Mr.. Ripley declared that the company's
legal department had already taken
the matter under active consideration
He denied that the Atchison in
tended 10 make its case a test case
for all the railroads. but he thought
other Western roads would soon take
similar steps. SO far as the Eastern
lines were concerned Mr.. Ripley said
that he was not cognizsnt Of their
plans
should the courts finally decide
the eight-hour law is constitutional
and that what amounts to % per cent
increase in wages shall be paid MIR.
Ripley added. there will be an I'M
mediate demand from the remaining
classes Of labor The railroads VIII

creases i'm rates. Wages ultimately
arc paid by thu public, especially the
farming class"
The passage Of the eight-hour law

that it would cost the roads S3OO,OOO,-

ironical commentary on INTERIM

Japan politically. Japan's explain h
ton is that China is playing a very
shrewd game. Japan stands be

half Occidental and half Oriental.
When she faces China she is Orlen-
tall when she faces Europe or the
United States she is Western.

So Japan. according TO tho Japanes2
explanation, opens Oriental negotia-
tons with China, and China, having
learned by experience, reports the
Japanese demands to the Western
capitals as if they were Ike Western
demands. all in earnest. Then the
Western powers respectfully ask
the japanese what they mean. and
the confusion is hopeless.

FUNERAL OF S. WALRATH
OFTWORIVERS HELD HERE
Autopsy Performed to Determine the
Cause of Mans Sudden
Death

The funeral of Samuel Walrath, of
Two Rivers, was held this afternoon
in the Mueller Undertaking parlors.
A few members of the local Odd Fell
lows lodge and friends attended the
ssrvice. -s
Walrath died very suddenly two
weeks ago last Wednesday and his
body has been held at the undertaking
parlors to await burial directions from
relatives. He was brought to this
city from Two Rivers to receive med
ical treatment but died few minutes
after he was removed from the train.
DR.. F. M. Crosby, who was called
away from the Commercial club lun-
cheon to attend the dying man, could
not account for his sudden death until
after an autopsy had been performed.
It was then discovered that the vio-
lent illness had been caused by gall
stone collie which resulted in a fatal
depression of the respiratory organs
and the heart. e..
Mr.. Walrath had made his home in
the Two Rivers country for several
years. He is survived by sister II
Walla Walla and one in Chicago.
