Hope for Benefit From War.

The Boston park shelters about 1,400
animals, ranging from elephants, buff
falo and lions to guinea pigs. There
has Eeen little falling off in numbers
since the war began, as the European
dealers, through whom most of the
supply of wild animals came, have in
many cases been put out of business
by war conditions. 1t seems quite like
ly that the war will force the business
of supplying wild animals into new
channels, and, perhaps, bring Amer
lean geological gardens into close rela-
lions with the source Of supply, espe-
clally in Africa, which excels all the
rest Of the world in the variety and
abundance of its large animals.

Hans Won BIeichroder.

Hans Won Bleichroder, one of the
two principal partners of BleichrOder
& Co., bankers, Berlin, Germany, died
a short time ago at the age of sixty
four.
The banking firm of Blelchroder &
Co. came into international prominence
when it helped Bismarck finance the
war against France, aRd Hans Won
Bleichroder was ennObled ut that time.
His son, Hans, Jr., was killed in action
on the Warsaw front, August 1, 1915.
At one time the son was secretly en-
gagged to Princess Sophia of Sax-Wei-
mar, who committed suicide in 1913 be-
cause, it was alleged, her father, Prince
William, would not permit her mar
riage. Young Bleichroder studied bank
ing in New York in 1910. The marriage
was opposed not so much because
young Baron Won BleichrOder was be-
meath the princess In rank, but be-
cause he was a Jew and refused to re-
nOunce his creed. The elder Bleich-
roder is said to have been worth more
than $40,000,OO0.

Contributed From All Countries.

From the southwestern United
States every year now there are sent
TO market tons of dates. If it had not
been for the bureau of plant industry
and its explorers, the date today would
not be an American product. Out of
China have come cherries which took
gratefully to our soil and climate; from
the Altai mountains have come red
currants; from the Orient somewhere
has come the puckerless and seedless
persimmon, and from other places Of
the far-off have come fruits and vege-
tables of good garden and table serv-
ice, and shade trees for the comfort
of men in sections of this country
where no shade tree of American origin
would take root.

Charting the Army's Feet.

To a layman, the records of the in
spectiOns Of the feet Of the various
militia regiments stationed on the
border last summer are astonishing.
For example, take the specific case of
the Sixteenth Pennsylvania infantry.
Out of 1,0S7 men inspected only 300
with sound feet were found. Four hun
dred and seventy-six men were wearing
shoes from one to two complete sizes
too small. The Sixteenth Pennsylva-
mia sported $50 corns, 762 ingrowing
nails, 613 bunions, to say nothing of
such esoteric maladles as "exostoses,"
''pronation" and "hallux valgus," Of
which latter misery there were 500
well-developed cases. One wonders
how the Sixteenth Pennsylvania got
over the ground at all.-"The Feet of
the Fighting Men," in the Worlds
Work.

Important Chinese City.

Hankow is in the heart of China. 600
miles from the ocean, with which the
Yangtze river is the only practicable
communication. 1t is a flourishing city
with many modern cOnvenleuces, and
with trade passing through the mari
time customs of Sl13940,933 in 1915,
exclusive of treasure and coins, which
amounted to $2O,957,009. Its foreign
trade equaled that Of the port or Bal
timore in 1914.

CONGRESS WILL
FOLLOW ADVlCEOF
The PRESIDENT
Administration Leaders
Confer on Program and
Agree to Consider War
Measures First of All.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Administra-
tion leaders held their first conference
here today to plan work for congress
which convenes next Monday. On
President Wilson's message depends
speculation already has listed possible
war declarations against Germany's
allies, higher taxes on war profits and
more billions for army, navy and the
allies.
Suffrage and prohibition amend
ments, CRITICS of loans to Russia and
ments, chiticism of loans to Russia and
November's congressional elections in
mind, are also being mooted.
WAR BUSINESS FIRST.
Democratic leaders in both houses
stated today congress would follow the
presidents lead and take up first only
those bills he regards as war emer-
gency measures. They said suffrage
and prohibition measures would be
considered only after pressing war
business had been disposed of. Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait and other suff-
ragist formed the vanguard of thous-
ands who will attend the national
American woman suffrage convention
opening Dec. IL are already here, how
ever, to wage a drive on congress.
Republicans gave indications today
of making a pro-suffrage fight and
demanding bigger part in war lead
ership for congress. congressional
war expenditure committee If again
sought by members, is expected to
draw the administrators fire.
PREPARING REPORTS.
Departmental reports now being
prepared for publication shortly after
congress convenes, will add to the leg
islative grist.
The Justice departments efforts to
combat alien enemies and spies will
be aided by new laws. The food ad
ministration may ask wider powers
to reach retailers directly.
,, Railroad legislation looms up as one
of the subjects President Wilson's may
treat in his first message or subse-
Quent addresses to congress. The
brotherhoods' demands for general
wage increases to be submitted to the
railroads by Dec. 10 will reach a criti-
cal stage 80 days later when the rail-
| ways time for answering expires. This
delay enables the president to mature
| his plans for final adjustment.
|. A federal wage Adjustment law is

GREAT WAR BUSINESS
BY ADVERTISING

Carl A. Tonner. manager of the Bal
timore branch of the Goodrich Rubber
company in recent interview had
this to say about the value OF news
paper advertising during war time:
"Close study of European business
conditions shows that never before In
history have merchants and manufac-
turers so prospered from extensive ad-
vertising in newspapers as during the
present war.
Merchants who never before made
use Of the columns of the newspapers
have found that advertising Is the life
of their business. and 1t is free pre-
diction that after the struggle to es-
tablish democracy as the keynote OF
model government Is at an end an
even greater amount of advertising
will be done. This is something the
American merchant must bear in
mind, for gradually the war will be
brought home to us more acutely.
big corporations have been keenly
alert to the necessity of bringing to
the attention Of the public the many
commodities they produce AND HAVE
FOUND IN THE NEWSPAPERS
THEIR GREATEST Co Q-OPERATORS
IN EXTENDING ADEQUATE SER
VICE. Obviously this should be food
for reflection for the merchant who
heretofore has not utilized the press
which has as big a message to the
consumer in attractive advertising a:
1t has to the reader Of the news coll
umns.
Tn this respect the words Of Harr,
G. Selfridge. the former American
merchant, now proprietor Of London,
greatest store, carry real weight:
1--WE have done a bigger business
during the war than we did before
and chiefly because We have ad.
vertised'
