The budget sent to the riksdag by
the railway department calls for 80
locomotive engines, A passenger cars,
$50 freight cars, and $50 ore cars. The
cost of this at the prevailing rates will
be about $4,750,OOO Under normal
conditions the cost would have been
only slightly more than half of this
amount There is about 81, $685. 900 at
the disposal of the railway depart
ment, and the balance must be fur
nished by the riksdag. The depart
ment adds that~if -the@state railroads
were to be fully equipped it would
be necessary to get new rolling stock
for almost $9OOO.0OO.

A man in Gothenburg who was to
make a "trip to Germany told the wo,n-
IN who had supplied him with butter
for years that he was willing to dc her
Il favor. He had heard that butter
WAS very expensive in Germany, and
he offered to take four pounds of fresh
butter with him, sell it at the highest
price obtainable, and return the money
to her. In Hamburg tile man sold the
butter for 100 German marks, and it
would have been worth while to see
the womans face when her customer
handed her sixty and odd krOnOr, or
about SIT in American money for her
four pounds of butter.

DEN MARK.

It is reported that 10000 horses have
been exported from Denmark during
the war. During the first four months
of the war, in the fall of 1914, 1900
horses were sent to Germany. It was
justly feared that the farmers of Den
mark might suffer from lack of
horses, and an embargo was put on the
expectation of horses. This embargo
is still in force. But some time ago
1900 horses were exported by spe-
cial permission. The farmers have not
been seriously handicapped by lack
of horses. Since May, 1915, 5000
horses have been imported from Ice
land, 1000 from Norway and 1000
from Sweden.

AMERICAN TEXTILES
IN PORTO RICO MARKET

A report Of the textile trade Of
Porto Rico and Jamaica was made
public today by the bureau OF for

points out the fact that the United

continue 10 do so when the war is
over unless the business is badly
managed in the meantime. In Jam
aica the United States is second to
England in the textile trade, and the
report states that there are oppor-
tunites for improved business there.
The report contains chapters on
the character and extent of the
trade in cotton fabrics, wooden IA
brics. knit goods ard ready-made
clothing. and on trade methods and
the future Of the trade. 1t is the

Mobilizmg Money for the War
An Outline of the Seven Billion Dollar Bond Issue for
United States.

our government needs funds for
war. Part Of this money will be rails
ed by taxation. and part by a great
popular loan TO which the public
will be given every opportunity 10
subscribe. The United States is to-
day the richest country In the
world. The demands or the war are
imperative. The nations wealth
must meet the nations needs.
The American people are not yet
educated TO the purchase OF bonds
as are the people of other coin
tries. Less than one-hfth Of one per
cent OF the people OF the United
States own bonds, and only a frac-
ton Of these are holders Of govern
ment securities. In both France and
England. more than Il percent of
the people have helped individually
TO finance those countries in per
forming their part in the present
war.
Broad Cooperation Needed.
The government has a sound basis
for its belief in the patriotism Of
the bankers and the investors OF
the country. and for it's anticipation
that they will give their enthusiast site
cooperation in the support OF this
loan. In order to assure its success.
however. this cooperation must be
broad and deep. II must extend far
beyond ordinary channels of invest
ment. Thousands of persons who
never have purchased bonds. who
never have been in touch with finan-
cial houses. must become investors
in this issue. IL has an appeal not
only 70 patriotism, but to reason and
10 business sense. The whole nation
must be quickened 20 q complete un-

meaning of this investment America
