Favorable Trade Balance in Last
Eight Months Is Nearly TWO
Billion Dollars.

Washington.-The enormous extent
of recent gains in the export trade
of the United States is disclosed in
statistics issued by the department
of commerce. Total exports for the

tire fiscal year of 1914.

pared to the fiscal year 1914; to Rus
STA 900 per cent; to Norway $40 per
cent; to France, $40 per cent; to
Denmark, 140 per cent; to Italy 1879
per cent to the United Kingdom
103 per cent; to Sweden "a per cent;
to Cuba AZ per cent, and to Japan
25 per cent.
This vast export trade shows an
apparent trade balance for the eight
months of $1,73O,0 O0,0 0O in favor Of
the United States and department Of
ficials predict that by the end of the
year it will exceed $4,000, 0O0, 900. The

BRITAIN IMPARTIAL
IN COMMERCE WAR
NOT TO USE FORCE TO WIN
TRADE WHEN CONFLICT is
FINISHED.
"OUR" INTERESTS AT HEART
No Mention Made of Blacklist In
Future Dealings with New World
Question of Common Sense
to Guide.

London.-The comment in the Unit
ed States concerning the possible eff
feet of the commercial measures con
templated by the recent Paris econo-
mic conference of the entente allies,
led Lord Robert Cecil, minister of
war trade, to declare that wholly
wrong conclusions had been drawn
from them, especially with regard
to these conclusions attributing any
attempt to exclude or discriminate
against the trade of the United States
with the entente allies after the war.
Our relations with the New World
Will always be of vast importance
to u.s." Lord Robert said to a cor.
respondent, and they take a leading
place IN our plans. In answer to the
great calumny so often circulated, and
which we Indignantly republic, ]
want to say that wihe we are plan
ming our measures for peace now, We
pledge u honor these plans and
measures, which we are bound to take
against the neutral trader with our
enemies under the laws of war, have
been and will be kept entirely sep
arate.
They are worked out in different
departments. They are wholly dis
tinct. We shall never try, what we
know would be fatal to our own in
t%erests, to use any of our %belligerent
measures to enable us to replace neu-
trails by British trade or impede the
commercial enterprise of neutral ma
tons"
Lord Robert did not mention the
blacklist in this connection, but I'M
questionably he had it in mind.
What one of the districts devas-
tated during the war would wish to
lose the opportunity to take advan-
tage of American enterprise and CAPT
tal?" asked Lord Robert. Suppose,
for instance, no question of friend
ship were involved. Then it resolves
itself into a question of plain, COM
nonsense business" he added.

ASK WILSON'S ASSISTANCE
GERARD SAID TO HAVE. PETI-
TON FOR INTERVENTION.
Terms of Proposal Not Known, But
Recent Events Said to Have
Shaken German Confidence.

New York, N. Y.-Germany has
definitely decided to apply to Presi-
dent Wilson to use his good offices
in suing for peace with the allies,
according to a story published in the
New Y9 v Evening Post.
The Saty says Ambassador James
W. Geriter who is on his way over
here, W. lay the kaiser's request
before President Wilson within a
week.
The story says:
important bank interests, in close
touch with Germany's plans, pointed
out that a great many nations were
involved in the European conflict,
and, hence months might elapse be-
fore peace would be finally consum-
mated, even in the event that Presi-
dent Wilson interviewed as mediator.
Ambassador Gerard is on board
the steamship Frederick VIII, which
left from the other side on Saturday
last, and is due here, according to
officers of the line, probably on Tues
day, next.
THE main statement, made with
gre& p~ositiveness, tends to confirm
rumors that have been afloat for
months.
1t is a fact, however positively it
may be denied officially, that the
possibility of President Wilson act
ing as mediator has been discussed
by German officials with Ambassa-
dor Gerard.
mo details of that nature were
~obtainable, but it was generally
thought that If Germany was making
the offer, in view of the recent events
in the war, the terms which the
Teutonic empires would agree to
would be much more reasonable than
those which have been suggested
from time to time as a basis for end
ing the conflict"

Women Not to investigate.

~ sh~
1t was a big disappointment to
Mrs. Henry S. Ess, president Of the
Susan B. Anthony Club of Kansas
City. not to be allowed to send a COM
mittee OF women here to investigate
conditions at the state prison.
The committee may come, but the
governor says that they will be ac-
corded exactly the same treatment as
other visitors who are proper persons
to admit inside the prison and be es-
corted by a prison officer through a
few of the cell buildings, one or two
workshops, the kitchen and dining
room and the female department.
The women have holding meetings
for the last two or three weeks and
listening to stories told by former
convicts and others about the condi-
tons In the prison until they decided
that 1t must be investigated by a
committee from their own organiza-
tons.
Gov. Major has nipped the move
ment in the bud. He says that if
these women come here and ask for
the privilege of conducting an inves-
tigation into the various departments
Of the prison when and where it suits
their convenience the privilege will
be denied them.

Republicans Complain.

Looking around the state capital for
the leaks of which the Republican
candidates for office have spoken SO
much lately, the Republicans find
there Is no money in the state treas
ury to pay criminal court costs. The
legislature appropriated $45O,000 for
this purpose, but like many other ap-
preparations the funds ran out on
October 8.
State officials here, and those who
are looking for state office declare
that some method will have to be de-
vised next January to increase the
revenues of the state. The last legis-
ture appropriated $4,S0O,00O in excess
OF the revenue to carry on the state
work, but the governor found it neces-
sary to veto some of these appropri-
atoms, amounting to between $4,000
600 at n time, and $4,000, 900 in the
second case. This leaves an overap-
preparation of only 100000 for the
state, which is not considered heavy,
yet there is a deficit in many funds
intended for current bills.

NO AGREEMENT IN SIGHT
JOINT COMMISSION HAS NuMER.
Gus PLANS.
Doubt Expressed That Conference
Can Be Ended by Oct. is, as
Was Wished.

Atlantic City, N. Various
plans for the protection of life
and property along the border have
been disclosed again by the Mexican
American joint commission, but with
out agreement. Both Mexicans and
Americans still hope that the confer
ences may be brought to a satisfac-
tory close by Oct. Is, but evidence
of doubt is apparent.
At least four plans for border con-
troll have been suggested, two by the
Americans and two by the Mexicans,
all involving the question of with
drawal of Gen. Pershing's army from
chihuahua.
The Americans have steadily insist
ed that Mexico's internal problems,
especially the operation of DEGREES
affecting foreigners, as we'll as the
ability of the Carranza government to
afford protection of foreigners and
their property, must be considered as
an integral part of any agreement for
border control. The Mexicans have
acceded to the attitude of the Ameri-
cans with reluctance.
That the Americans had served no
tice on the Mexicans that Gen. Per-
shing's force would not be withdrawn
until Mexico had demonstrated it's
ability to establish order was again
denied by Franklin K. Lane, secre-
tary of the interior, head of the
American commission. He admitted
that the attitude of the Mexicans re-
manned unchanged, but insisted that
from neither side had there come any
suggestion or demand that leopard
lied the continuance of the confer
ence.

GOVERNOR MAJOR
TO MAKE SPEECHES
WILL EXPLAIN STATE FINANCES
AND WHY PENSIONS ARE
NOT PAID.
WILL MAKE A TOUR OF STATE
State Owes No Money Unless Bill
Has Been Signed by Governor
Next Legislature Will Square
Up All Deficiencies.


Jefferson City.
Governor Major is making plans to
deliver some campaign speeches this
week. He spoke last Monday at West
Plains. and will be in Southeast Mis-
souri, the latter part of the week. For
the most part Col, Gardner will be
north of the Missouri river.
The governor is explaining some of
the states financial problems. The
continuous harping on the Confeder-
ate pension deficiency has made the
executive determine to set the people
right on this issue. He says that all
the money appropriated for these old
soldiers has been paid out. and they
will have to wait for their pay until
another legislature provides it. They
have not received any pension money
in over a year. There are about 1900
of them and they are supposed to get
$40 a month each.
The governor approved the bill that
granted these measures of relief for
our old men, and feels keenly IN
criticism directed at the states failure
to meet its charitable obligations.
This law provides that only INDECENT
soldiers who have honorable records
of service and discharge nay partici-
pate in the states bounty. These old
men have no property Of their own,
and must live on what the state gives
them.
One theory held by the defenders
the state administration is to the eff
feet that if a bill was not signed by
the governor the appropriation not
legal, and only such are legal as have
the money in the revenue fund to
meet them.
While there is a considerable debt
over some Of the departments Of the
state government, the governor says
the next legislature is perfectly able
to take care of any deficiency that
has arisen.
There is quite a sum due the state
university, according to the figures
furnished by some of the campaign
speakers.
