IS the welfare Of our ally vast
u increases, and facts are not lacking
10 encourage the belief that she is al
ready on the road to recovery from the
blow of invasion by a ruthless enemy.
One of the most important develop
ments is the announcement that one of
the largest banking institutions in
America concerned with foreign trade,
The Guaranty Trust Company of New
York, has opened Paris branch to
handle the rapidly increasing volume
of French business arising not only
out of commercial demands, but also
out of the fact Of the large number
of Americans in France on military
duty.
This action may surprise many per-
sons who had thought of France as
bowed under a calamitous invasion.
The bank, however, gives figures indi'
eating that France is not only meeting
her military and civilian problems
with stout heart and never failing
courage, but is re-establishing her eX-
port business with this country.
In 1914, the year of the outbreak of
the War, imports from France to this
country totaled Sal ,446,2o2. This to-
tai was reduced to $77,15S, 74O i'll 1915,
but last year the value Of French i'm
ports to the United States rose to $1O2,-
O77,O6O.
"a nation that can achieve such a
commercial recovery while her terri
tory is being ravished by the invader, -
says the Trust company's statement,
possesses recuperative powers which

more closely the ties that bind the two
great Republics together, and will en-
able Americans to discharge in part
the debt they owe to France for her
friendly interest in the welfare and
progress of the United States from the
beginning of its life as nation.
In judging the industrial status OF
any nation, it's production and con-
sumption of coal, iron, and steel, and
the growth of it's transportation sys-
TENS are highly significant factors.
In 1869, French industries consumed
q million tons of coal, of which 1875
millions were taken from home mines.
In 1912, the consumption was 81 mil
lion tons, Of which Al million tons were
taken from home mines.
In 1869, the French output Of cast
iron was 1,3SO,OOO tons, and of steel,
100000 tons. In 1914, France pro-
duced 5,311, 900 tons of cast iron and
4, 635 900 tons of steel.
The increasing activity of her rail-
way system is similarly demonstrable.
In 1862 there were in France 10,743
miles Of railroad track; In 1912, there
| were 81 $40 miles.
Between 1859 and 1912, inland navi-
cation increased 5000; while the traffic
OF her mercantile marine had amazing
! ly expanded The tonnage entering
French ports in 1869 is set down as
| II 100000 tons. In 1912, this had been
| increased to 100000 tons.

C. A. Martin, Poet.

A member of Company C of thi
city, now on the border, sends tn,
Freeman-Tribune the following poem
written by Cook C. A. Martin, ais,
of Company c, after the Third lows
regiment had been ordered home:
We're left to guard the border,
We're left to guard the town,
We're left to guard the country
For many miles around.
We'll be guarding in the morning
When the sur comes from it's res
Well be guarding in the evening,
For the Seconds all that's left.
We will guard at all the ranches,
We will guard the bridges, too,
For the First and Third are home
now;
For them there's no guard to do.
The Second has good soldiers,
General Allen proved it true
When he sent the rest all home
And left us this guard to do.
But we're not going to make a holler
We will do what's left to do.
And if we're ever ordered home
They will know we're all true
blue.
The Second grubbed the cactus,
And they walked on long hikes,
too.
In fact we've done a lot of things
That the others didn't do.
But we've got to live in hopes, boys,
AS the days go passing by
That ;"some day" Well be ordered
home,
And the time will surely fly.
If you've something hard to do. boys,
That no other troops will do,
Just put it on the Second
And they will take it through.
So We'll have to guard headquarters
For the First and Third are
through,
For they've been ordered home now
And it's left for us to do.
So we've got to do our best, boys,
To cover all the land.
For we are left to guard it
And we MUST do lit, understand.

new MACHINERY At
CITY POWER PLANT
City to Have Three new Stokers-
Automatic Apparatus TO
Attach to Furnaces.

The city officials have just ON
pleted arrangements for three new
istokers at the electric light and wat
er works. The new stokers will not
mean three new men to shovel in
the coal with blackened hands and
faces, but new apparatus which may
be attached to the furnaces and au-
tomatically slide the coal onto the
bed of Goals in so scientific a manner
that the smoke nuisance will be al
most wholly abated.
Residents of the vicinity near the
electric light and power plant espec-
tally will welcome the new machin-
cry, as it will do away with smoke
except when the ashes are being
cleaned from under the furnaces.
Hand firing has always been the pre-
vailing manner of placing coal in the
furnaces of the city power plant UNI
til now, but with the installation of
the new machinery, which will cost
Installed approximately $3,400, there
will be a saving in coal of around
81 900 per year. The invention is
mot a new one, having been in use
lsince 1898, and because of it's per-
feet work, burns everything that is
combustible in the coal, besides elm
linating the smoke nuisance.
There is also a saving on labor, al
though none of the present help at
the electric light and power plant
will be discharged on this account.

HAVE RELATIVES
IN EUROPEAN WAR
Son Of Dave spangle' Loses Life
Brother of J. R. Silver in
the War.

The European war affects direct
ly or indirectly probably every state
in the union, but nowhere more gen.
orally than in Iowa. so much Of
whose population is made up of
Americans but recently over from
the continent or the British Isles.
Hamilton county has it's fair share
of relatives or former residents now
engaged in the great struggle and
just recently one of the countys
former residents was killed fighting
with the Canadian troops in France.
The young man was the son of Dave
Spangle, an old time Hamilton coun-
ty resident. and he has a brother re-
siding in this city. Dave Spangle re-
moved from this county to Minneso-
to a few years ago, one of the sons
who removed with the family going
into Canada at the outbreak of the
war in Europe and in a spirit of ad-
venture enlisting in the kings SER
vice. The young man was killed in
November fighting in the trenches of
France.
J. r. Silver, residing south of this
city. has a brother, William Silver,
of Laurencekirk, Scotland, who is a
member of the Gordon Highlanders.
Recent news from him leaves
him in the Northumberland
War hospital at Newcastle-on-
Tyne, in England, slightly
wounded. The wound was incurred
while he was in the trenches in
France. He has only been in active
service about II year, having quail
flied as an ambulance man, but vol
unteered to go to the trenches. The
last letter received from him said he
was getting along finely and anxious
to get back into the trenches again.
Our Mr.. Silver also has four nephews
fighting for the allies al various
points of conflict in Europe and news
from the battle lines directly affect
the Silver family.
Another Hamilton county resident
whose birthplace was in Scotland, is
w. C. Halliday. living southwest of
this city, who has seven nephews
somewhere in France fighting. These
young men r all under thirty-eight
years of & and all enlisted from
Ayrshire. Doubtless there are many
