THE GERMAN HUMoRisTs.
(From the Kniekerbocker Press)

 There is wealth of humor in the war. But some writer of books or vaudeville sketches of future gene aton will write it, since we of this age are too close to the tragedy and that it is causing

every cat and dog in the empire. Something of the sort now seems to be actually happening; an indication of the country's desperation.
 The Lokal Anzeiger, government controlled organ publishes a notice to the effect that the army at the front needs dogs, "healthy, qulck' sharp and not shy" They are required as watchdogs, the notice says, at the same time will make it possible the Tightening of military duties It looks as if the animals were to be used to worry the British troops or report the advance of the Americans and give the German soldiers a chance to run.

THE DIFFERENCE

According to the report of the Ketchikan registration officers, there six allen enemies in our midst Whatever that means. These may be said to be avowed enemies. At that they are much less dangerous than those who profess to be friendly but are doing their best to breed trouble Like those who encourage disobedience to the law. A man may be your enemy, yet he may not be a criminal; but the man who claims to be your friend and advises you to break the law is not only an enemy to the country but criminal besides A man may be an Austrian a German or a Bulgarian and his sympathy may be entirely with his country; yet if he keeps his mouth shut while he is in this country, he may be an enemy but a respected enemy. Whereas an American citizen who hampers the govern ment in this crisis is both an enemy and crim- inal.

GOING BACK SOME YEARS

Thinking backward some forty years and ex- amining the conditions of that time Tor the pur- pose of comparison with the conditions today we are at loss to account for the difference, in one respect at least. And that is in regard to prices of commodities.
 For instance; we remember distinctly that flour was selling at $4. barrel. Today we have to pay S4. for one quarter of barrel Butter was fifteen cents a pound. Today it is sixty. Eggs were ten cents dozen Today they are seventy-fve Pork five cents, and beef from five to ten cents pound. would get a hair cut and shave for fifteen cents. Today he has to pay S1 Yet what we receive today for our money is no better than it was in those days. Men are not better today than they were in those days We eat no more today than we did in those days. Besides we raise ten times of all commodities of life than we did in those days, and the world does not seem bigger, larger and more ravenous than forty years ago.
 As to clothes people do not dress better than they did. As matter of fact, women use less today than ever before. Their clothes are abbreviated so. Still everything is sky high. What brought these conditions? What brought these preposterous prices? If there was a scar city value, it would be easily explained. But there isn't. Really, it looks though we were forced to assist in extending the wristbands of individual profiteers, whose action is not far re- moved from and should suffer the same punish ment as is meted out to those who strip the dead on the battlefield. Like the man said the other day. We have reached state where 1t has become case where dog must eat dog How ever. this gives no explanation of the difference in the condition between the prices of cOmmOdit- ies of today with those of forty years ago.

New York Cotton Market,

New York, Dec. 27.-The cotton market was somewhat irregular at the opening today, first prices being ,27 points higher to 2 points lower, with near months relatively firm. Trading was comparatively quiet at the start, but became more active as though sympathizing with the strength and excitement of the stock market. January sold up 3O.8Oc, with 1 March advancing to 3O.O8c and May 2980c, or into new high ground for the season and about l5 to 27 points net higher, shortly after the call. Trade interests were again moderate buyers anG the advance was encour- aged by bullish spot advices, includ- ing reports that there was a good in- quiry from spinners today. The action of the government in taking over the railways was much discussed around the ring, but any influence it may have exerted on the early market was sup posed to be reflected in the buying by i brokers with Wall street connections. 1 The early advance met moro south crn selling that for some time past, and there were reactions of 15 or 20 points from the best late in the nor ming. Trade interests were buyers on a scale down, however, and the vol- ume of business tapered off around midday with prices holding steady in the neighborhood of BOG for March, or v to 12 points net higher.
 ] There was a renewal of scattering liquidation during the early afternoon and probably some selling for reac- tion. It was supposed that the early selling for southern account had pretty well filled up buyers and the setback suggested an easier technical position. March reacted to 29.90c and May sold off to 29.53c, or back pyacti- cally to last nights closing figures.

Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, Dec. 27.-Notice that the government would take possession of the railways had bearish effect to- day on the corn market. A majority of traders inclined to the belief that the government action would tend to result in larger movement of grain from the interior to the principal ter minals. Selling based on this theory, however, was not of an aggressive character. Opening prices, which ranged from unchanged figures to 3-8 @1-2c lower, with January $1.26 IA to $1.26 1-2 and May $1.241-2 to SPA 7-8, were followed by moderate setback all around.
 Although at first oats showed con- siderable strength, the market later took downward turn with corn. The initial upturn was ascribed to fore cast of much colder weather and to likelihood of export sales.
 Provisions were irregular and dull. Pork showed small decline, but lard and ribs scored slight gains.
 Scarcity of arrivals brought about a little rally later, but failed to give the market any lasting strength except in the December delivery. Peace talk was bearish factor. Prices closed
