NAVAL STORES HURT
by DISCRIMINATION
is CLAIM OF c. OF c.

Protesting against discrimination
against Pensacola in rosin freight
rates, and claiming that if this city
were on an even footing with Mobile
to points on the Pacific coast, large
companies would come here, the fol-
lowing letter has been sent to C. B.
Compton, freight traffic manager of
the L. & N. at Louisville, by Secre-
tary James F. Phillips, of the Cham
Der of Commerce.
Dear Sir: am instructed by the
board of directors of the Chamber of
Commerce to call your attention to
the fact that the rate on rosin from
Mobile to certain Pacific Coast tern1i-
mails when for export is SIS cents per
hundred pounds, whereas the rate
from Pensacola is Cd cents per hun
dred pounds or 8 cents per hundred
pounds higher.
As you will remember the naval
stores men of Pensacola opened the
Pensacola naval stores market on
April 1, 1914, thus creating a third
primary market for naval stores in
this country. This action has caused
considerable development of the
naval stores industry in this terri
tory, but we are badly handicapped
because buyers cannot make pur-
chases here to fill Oriental orders,
they being forced to make such pur-
chases in Mobile or New Orleans. ]
have in mind one large naval stores
dealer that would open an Office here
if Pensacola was given the same rates
to the Pacific coast on rosin as now
prevail in Mobile.
We assume that the rate from Mo-
bile applies through Memphis and st
Louis. If so, it is certainly discrirn-
nation against us to haul rosin from
Mobile by Flomaton to either Mem
phis or st. Louis when destined to
the Pacific coast at lower rate thar
from Pensacola.
As stated before this discrimination
is working considerable hardship
on the business of this market, and
our people are very much concerned
over it. viii you not, therefore,
kindly take the matter up and en-
deavor to give US the same rates as
Mobile is now enjoying?
Yours very truly,
(Signed)
JAMES F. PHILLIPS,
Secretary.

SWEDEN.

W. A. f. Ekengren, minister to the
United States from Sweden, stated
few days ago that his government will
take no action against the recent mill
tary encroachment of Russia on the
Aland islands, but will await the con-
clusion of peace in Europe for set
tlement. The Aland islands, which
are but 80 miles from the Swedish
coast and So miles from Stockholm,
have been transformed into a Russian
naval base during the last six weeks
and 1t is reported the Petrograd gov
eminent Is erecting fortresses on the
islands, This action is contrary to
the convention G.awn up by Russia
with Great Britain and France in 1856
and while there are some citizens sus-
picious of Russia's action. the govern
ment at least has full confidence that
the matter will be settled amicably
at the conclusion of the war;" said
Minister Ekengren. we are enjoy

Great Britain created hostile feeling
in Sweden by sinking our vessels and
Selling our mail boats, but the two
governments since have agreed to many
of our claims and the ill-feeling prac-
tically has died out. Nevertheless
Sweden has suffered economic losses
as the result of the war on our trade
and business interests have been ham
pered. Because of the Russian fortifi-
cation of the Aland islands and the
placing of mines throughout the Bal
tic sea, our trade with our large terri
tory along the gulf of Botnia is
practically at standstill and the lum-
Der and steel Industries in the prov
ince of Norrland are gtagnant. The
allies already have agreed to many
of our claims for damages and peace
in Europe is expected to see complete
settlement of the others. While the
Russian Notifications on the Aland
islands are contrary to treaties, the
encroachments probably are only tenn
porary and Sweden will take the mat
ter up at the close of the war;

The Stockholm Dagens Nyheter is

plan) /; the banks refuse to lend more
than so per cent on the market quota
tons of even the oldest established

WHY WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
cine Co.

Women who are we'll often ask care
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co are continually publishing,
genuine?" "Are they truthful |"
why do women write such letters?"
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent Of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
1t has relieved women from some of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements. Inflammation, liberation,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.

is well and who RSS6N

A eonsOrtium of Scandinavian finan-
ciers is planning an insurance corpora
ton which will insure against the hor-
rOrs of peace. The coming Of peace
is dreaded by thousands Of fnanciers,
manufacturers, shippers, railroad
freighters. bear spectators (also some
industries bull speculators) and 9th
ers. As the war drags on the interests
of these classes become more and more
dependent or a long war; and thou
sands have entered upon deals that
involve their ruin If peace comes sud
denly and without warning. Hence
the scheme of insurance against peace.
Such a scheme implies that many per-
sons are making money out of the war.
and that is fact The condition of
the United States war stock Is par
alleled in neutral Europe. The differ
ence is that America is making money
mainly out of munitions and war
stores and neutral Europe is making
it out Of everything conceivable. Ship
owners, food producers, clOthmakers,
railroads Especially in Norway and
Sweden), chemists, medical store pro-
ducers, dye manufacturers, paper
makers, alkali producers. aluminium
trades and men in 80 other trades are
flourishing. The losses at first suf-
fered because of dislocatlon of credit
have been made up and the neutral
states are fiourishlng as never before
in their history. The reason is that
in addition to prosperous home con-
ditions Ga few minor trades except
ed they are taking In vast sums of
money from belligerent countries.
