BUSINESS AFTER THE WAR
Denial of German Plan to Unloa,
Cheap Goods in America.

Denial of German Plan to Unload
Cheap Goods in America.
The prospect OF a 'war after the
war" as proposed by British news
papers and discussed at the economic
conference of the allies at Paris ap-
parently is causing little anxiety in
Germany, where the belief is ex-
pressed that the natural commercial
tendencies viii soon overcome any ar
tificial barriers which may be erect
ed. according 10 a dispatch from Ber-
lin. This view was voiced in state
ment to the Associated Press by
Philip Heineken, director of the
North German Lloyd steamship line.
Herr Heineken discussed plans which
are being made in Germany to resume
international trade alter the coming
of peace and said there was no basis
for apprehension that Germany might
unload low-priced goods on the Amer
can market.
Herr Heineken looks forward to an
immense call for tonnage with the
ending of the war. All Europe, he
said. will be calling for raw materials
to replenish exhausted stocks and
those companies which have tonnage
ahoat and Immediately available will
he in a position of great advantage
Post bellum traffic. said Herr Heinc
ken, will, of course, be largely one
| way traffic at first. German ships
for example, will be able to load for
America a certain amount of potash
dyestufis, etc, but this will not coun'
| ter-balance the cotton, tobacco, cop
| per and other raw materials which
will be imported Immediately from
America Only after the arrival OF
| these raw materials and the recon
| version of our industries to a peace
| basis will cargoes Of manufactured ar
ticles be available"
Herr Heineken said that whatever
! stocks of manufactured articles might
have been on hand at the outbreak OF
the war naturally had been utilized
| in Germany and that there had been
| no replenishment OF these supplies
Like most other German business
men. Herr Heineken felt that the pro
posed war after the war would have
no greatly ininojurs effect on the fu
ture of German shipping lines. Eng
land, he declared, is too dependent on
Germany for certain articles, while
Germany can supply herself in some
ways without too much reliance on
England to permit of the permanent
suppanting of natural and mutually
advantageous relations. Then. too, he
added, the proponents ,ef post ellum
commercial war forget that they may
not be in a position when peace comes
to dictate terms such as they now prC
pos.

EIGHT MEN ON MAJOR CLUB
Hit Through Second Needed to Notice
Bag Ungarded.

Basebalrs champions foolish play
was made in a game between Wash
ington and the White Sox in 1907 In
that battle Larry Schlafiy was cap
tain of the Washingtons and played
second base At the end of\an early
inning Schlahy went out to telephone
or buy goat, or something, and was
delayed so long that the Senators had
three men put out before his return.
The Sox came trotting in for their
turn at bat Washington took the
field with only eight men and nobody
on second and the game went on that
way till Fielder Jones hit one straight
across second Then, and not till
then, was it discovered that there was
| nobody on second base. Incredible as
it may seem. 10 men-17 players and
two umpires-had started the half
/ inning in this fashion, and not one OF
them got wise till Jones hit shot ov-
err the empty station. Schlafy reap
peared at this juncture and the UNI
pires decided that the hit was illegal
when made with only eight men in the
field. Jones had to so back and bat
