GERMAN TRADE ASSOCIATIONS
PLAN FOR RUSSIAN TRADE

BERLIN, April 20.-Despite recent
events in Russia, German trade associ-
atoms which were interested in Rus
sian trade before the war are pushing
their plans for capturing their shore
of the after-war trade All these as
sociations have just combined in the
formation of Russo-German Econom-

Upon the basis of the information

ard the rich experience Of the former
associations for trade with Russia, the
activity of this committee will en-
brace the whole sphere of German

MINES ARE
PROVING DANGEROUS

LONDON, April 20-Mines laid in
the important British shipping lanes
bv the German U-boats are proving
inst as serious a problem to the Ad-
mirality as the U-boats themselves.
Sir Edward Carson, First Lord of the
Admiralty, pointed out in a speech this
week that lin the olden times the lay
ing of mines was dangerous, but it
was nothing then to what it is now,
when submarines are employed not
only to sink ships, but to lay mines
below the surface of the water"
Mines of this character have caused
heavy loss in the English Channel
since the submarine campaign began
on February l, and from the prom
iscous way in which these machines
were scattered they we're much more
difficult to deal with than when placed
bv surface craft in more or less de-.
fined areas.
"A submarine can follow our mine
sweepers." said Sir Edward Carson,
land as quickly as we sweep up mines
they can lay new ones without our
knowing or suspecting. Do not under
estimate the danger and difficulties OF
that operation" Necessarily, this prac-
tice involves the Navy in a gigantic
work to ensure even comparative i'm
munity. Complete immunity cannot In
the circumstances be expected.
Submarine mines of this character,
freshly laid, were swept up in the
path of the American liner st. Louis.
Similar mines, from which it had
providential escape, were found at
place where the st. Louis was anchor
ed for several hours.
During the past two months OF
ruthless summarizing, three British
destroyers have been sunk in the
English channel by mines.

MILLION
DOLLARS WORTH OF FINE
TOBACCO LYING IN HARBOR

THE HAGUE. Netherlands, April 20.
With twenty-four million dollars
worth of tobacco, or 100000 bales, still
lying in the island of Java awaiting
shipment to the Dutch market, and
with every prospect of shipment be-
ing delayed, an urgent admonition
has gone forth to the natives there
from the Dutch governor general to
plant corn and other food products in
place of their usual tobacco crop.
Last year the Java tobacco crop
yielded about 10000 bales, record
igllre. AS result of an abnormally
heavy rainfall, this years crop is ex-
pected to be considerably smaller,
probably less than 100000 and the
orders just issued are likely to have a
curtailing effect on subsequent pro-
duction.
The mere suggestion of a tobacco
famine in Europe must conjure up a
fearsome spectre in the mind of all
devotees of the weed but with the
spectre of European food famine
seriously frightening some people
here, the partial substitution Of corn
for tobacco in the Netherlands East
Indies is regarded as imperative.

FEDERATION Of THE
WORLD |SEXPECTED

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 20.-The
grand alliance" between the United
States and the democracies of Europe
against autocratic aggression as prac-
ticed by Germany gives rise to the
hope that the war will lead to FEEDER
alton of the World, in the opinion OF
Walter Lippman, of New York, Assoc
late Editor of the New Republic" ex-
pressed today in an address on Amer
ica's Relation to the World Conflict"
before the American Academy of Pol
itical and Social Science.
Il know it sounds little old-fash-
toned to use that phrase, the Fedora
ton of the World said Mr.. Lippmann,
because we have used it so long in
empty rhetoric. But no other idea is
big enough to describe the alliance. 1t
is no longer an offensive-defens1ve mil
itary agreement among diplomats. 1t
is growing into union of people de-
atermined to end forever that intriga-
ton adventurous nationalism which
has torn the world for three centuries.
1.-THE war is disolving into stipend
GUS revolution A few months ago we
still argued about the Bagdad corridor,
strategic frontier, colonies. These
were the stakes of the diplomats war
The whole prospective is changed to-
day by the revolution in Russia and the
Intervention of America. The scale of
values is transformed, for the democ~
racies are Embossed.
I'VE are at war to defeat the Ger
man government, to destroy its prest-
ICE, to deny its conquest, and to throw
it back at least into the arms OF the
German people, marked and discredit-
e. as the author of their miseries. 1t
is for them to make the final settle
ment with it.
I'VE can win nothing from the war
unless it eliminates in a union of lib
eral peoples pledged to cooperate in
the settlement of all outstanding ques-
lions, sworn to turn against tn Gag
gressor, determined to erect larger
and more modern system of internati-
onal law upon a federation of the
world. That is what we are fighting at
this moment on the ocean, in he ship
yard and in the factory; later, perhaps
in France and Belgium, ultimately at
the council of peace"

SPREAD OF THE "PIPE
PLAGUE IN ENGLAND

LONDON, April 20.-"An undoubt-
ed symptom of the breakup of our
social fabric" is seen, by members of
fashionable London clubs. in the
spread of the pipe plague" through
out England today.
Civilians who were formerly too
cultured to be seen in public smoking
pipes are taking to their briars in in
creasing numbers, and the monoclad
disciples of Lord Chesterfield are
deeply shocked.
MY word, old thing, I'd rather see
brown boots and frock coat than a
silk hat and bulldog briar."
This from the depth of a plush-cov-
cred armchair near the window of a
Picidally club, voices the indignant
opinion of the social elect of London.
