HIGH COMMERCIAL STANDING.

A few years ago q commission cana
over from Germany to Investigate the
causes Of the industrial supremacy Of
the United States. In their report
they asserted that the victories OF
American trade are largely due to the

the public schools have been taught
the evils Of intoxicating drink, and
that in more than 400 lines Of indus
try no man could secure employment
II he were known to be addicted to
Intoxicating beverages.

German control Of departments
OF the Russian government was
broken and cast out. The defeats
of the summer of 1915 made nee
cssary the appeal OF the imperial
government TO the national aspir-

German influence and control
could not be accomplished until
repeated defeats had made 1t nee
essary beyond dispute.
