upon transformation. 1t finds that
there is no surplus labor in Germany
that could be diverted to the prOduc-
ton of the goods in question. More
over, the supply of labor is not even
sufficient for producing the demands
of home consumers besides the vast
quantities of war materials needed;
and instead of wages being so low
now that manufacturers would find
this a favorable time for Producing
cheap goods, the report points out
that wages of all workers have alb
normally increased in proportion to
the increased cost of living"
The entire range of textile indus
tries, which constitute a very large
segment of Germans economic activ-
ity, are now wholly eliminated from

NO DUMPING SAYS
TRADE COMMISSION
Federal Investigation Fails to
find Surplus Abroad
CHEAP GOODS IN ABUNDANCE ARE
NOT DISCOVERED.
Many Industries Destroyed In Ger

Being Called to the Front.

WASHINGTON, ID. en- compre-
hensive review of foreign trade condi-
tons, the federal trade commission to-
day expressed an opinion that the
much discussed after-the-war CONNER
cial competition from Europe will not
come for some time after peace.
High costs of raw materials, in
creased taxes, probably higher taxes,
to say nothing of the lack Of capital
and stocks OF materials necessary To
repair the wastages of war, the report
says, are expected to delay the full
power of European competition until
il regain its normal state.
Laws to put the American exporter
on a footing with his foreign rival by
authorization of collective foreign sell
ing agencies are RECOMMENDED. A brief
summary of the report made public
last May, while it still was Incomplete,
recommended such legislation and was
followed by introduction of the Webb
bill which awaits action but has the
Endorsement of the administrators.
In studying the export situation, the
trade commission, it is declared, has
tried to take the problem in its broad
historical aspect, considering the pres
ent war as a temporary interlude, the
srmanent influence of which it is diff
ficult to estimate.
1T is frequently asserted" said the
report, "the manufacturers and pro-
ducers of the belligerent countries will
take effective measures to regain
| their former trade. 1t is likely, how
/ ever, that some time will pass after
the close of the war before they will
/ be able to exert thir normal compe-
/ titive power"
The American association of com
merce and trade of Berlin has been in
( vestigating the rumors circulated
abroad to the effect that Germany is
preparing for dumping enormous guam
itles OF cheap goods there after the
I close of the war. According to those
rumors, Germany has modified vost
army of ill-paid old men, women and
children to work on cheap staple goods
for export, consisting chiefly of steel
and iron goods, dyestuffs and Others
I It is further represented that vast
quantities of these goods are being
stored for shipment when the wal
ends
According to the associations week
ly report, all such rumors are based

manufacture for export owing to lack
of the raw materials; supplies of
these are so short that they were
long ago confiscated by the govern
ment in order to conserve them for
military requirements, and only such
small quantities are liberated for the
requirements of the civilian popula-
ton as are absolutely necessary.
This is also true of the rubber and
leather trades.
In fact, there is not one single in
dustry that could be named in which
conditions as to raw materials, sup
plies, labor and wages, are such as
would render it possible for manu-
features to turn out goods with view
to storing them for sale abroad after
the war.

AUDUBON MEMBERS
INSPECT WILD LIFE
Trip Made in Mountains of Garrett
" here Rare Specimens We're Found.

Three members of the Audubon So
ciety, Edward Harris, ST., James
Wvlie and W. S. Sparks, took an
pathological trip to Wolf Gap in Gar
rett county yesterday. Forty-two diff
ferent species of birds were identified,
which speaks well for the Alleghenies
of Western Maryland as bird region.
Among the several species found
were the wood thrush, veery or Wilson
thrush. red-headed woodpecker, Canada
warbler. Black hroated blue warbler,
magnolia warbler, chestnut sided war
bier, black and white creeper, and the
rose brested grosbeak.
The wood thrush is very much ad-
mired for its song, the veery or Will
son thrush although not so resplen-
dent in vocal powers, is the much
rarer of the two. The warblers are to
be seen only during their migratory
season extending from the latter part
of April through May, while the rose
breasted grosbeak is interesting in be-
ing restricted to higher attitudes, it's
beauty and its song. All are of econo-
mic Importance, destroying many in
sects injurious to agriculture.
Aside from the birds an interest was
taken in the fora of the region visited.
Backwardness of the vegetation was
noted by the ornithologist. About this
city one finds the trees to have almost
the foliage of summer, while on top of
big Savage Mountain, their appearance
is that of mid-April. The shad- bush
there is just in bloom, while here it has
long since passed perfection. Cumber-
landers therefore enjoy a warmer 10
cality. The sweet white violet was
found also, the only native fragrant
violet in the United States; the fringed
pollygole, the gold thread and the paint
ed trillium, some rare plants are on the
list.
The trip was most profitable and all
interested may join the Audubon So
cIety, whose object is conservation of
wild life. A meeting is to be held to-
night at Union st. School, at 8 O'Clock.

Mr.. E. ]. HAMlLL FREED.
Federal Court Judge Had No Author
ity to Commit Him To Institution.

Last week this paper along with
numerous others in Maryland and West
Virginia contained articles dealing with
the trial of Mr. E. j. Hamill, which was
conducted in the Federal court at Cum
berland on Monday preceding, Judge
John c. Rose, of Baltimore, presiding,
in which Mr.. Hamill was declared not
guilty of the charges against him, but
in the published reports several err
roneouS statements were made, which
are corrected in the following letter
written by Mr.. Hamill's attorneys and
published in the Cumberland Evening
Times of last Thursday, to which we
also give space, feeling that it is due
Mr.. Hamill and his family connections
to place the matter in its proper light
before our readers.
The letter addressed to the Times
was written by Messrs. George A.
Pearre, Fuller Barnard. Jr., and Saul
Prayer, attorneys for Mr.. Hamill, and
is as follows:
Editor Evening Times:-We observed
in Tuesdays issue of your valuable
paper an account of the trial of Edward
j. Hamill, of Kitzmillerville, our client,
in which Mr.. j. B. Bosnian is quoted as
testifying. to false entries of drafts and
to the "pocketing of deposits made by
John Barnard. We feel it our duty to
our client, who was acquitted of the
charges made in indictment, to call
your attention to the fact that this is a
misapprehension Of Mr.. Bosman's testi-
monY as Mr.. Bosnian did not state at
any time that Mr.. Hamill pocketed anv
of the deposits made by John Barnard,
an insurance agent of Westernport.
We should also state that the evidence
showed that no one had lost a single
dollar through any act of Mr.. Hamil as
cashier of the First National Bank of
Kitzmillerville, and the.bank met all of
its obligations. 1t may also be of in
terest to the public to know that Judge
Rose has concluded upon further in
vestigation of the law that he had nc
authority to commit Mr.. Hamill to St.
Elizabeth's Asylum in Washington, D.
c. Mr.. Hamill is now free man, and
will continue so, unless he and his
family conclude that it will be better
for him to have treatment in some good
institution, which it is more than likely
they will do.
