sion OF our foreign trade. and to rob
us OF every possibility Of recOnstruc-
tion By the liquidation OF thousands
OF German business houses and
branches ira nearly all foreign coun-
tries.
The heaviest blow Of this kind
was the inducement OF China and
most OF the South American coun-
tries 20 take steps Of this nature.
The German business man who,
after peace is declared goes out into
the world, @ill find ruins every
where, and If he attempts 10 rebuild
them he viii be prevented by a wall
OF enmity. Not even the return Of
the colonies would help us much for
they used 10 handle only a little
part OF our world trade.
Foreign Trade Important.
Let US understand clearly what
our foreign trade spells for our eco
homie existence. AS Or. Helherich
recently showed. our foreign trade
would, under normal development
have surpassed that OF England for
the first time this year. That spells
for import and export a total over
turn OF about 30 billion marks. If
one reckons that this includes about
billions for wages, freigEts, profits
on undertakings and other invest
ments. then one sees that this rep
resents a total capital Of 100 billions,
or about one-third Of the German
national wealth.
Should our opponents succeed in
binding our foreign trade perman-
emily. so that we should be depend
ent in the main on central Europe,
our industry should have TO shrink
and our entire economic life deaden.
Our working classes would be COM
PEELED 20 emigrate because of lack
of opportunity for work, just as in
the 7O's. The German empire would
be reduced to a second class power.
in short, England would have sue
ceeded in making Of us what we
were before 1870 and that which it
would gladly like us TO be again.
Must Defeat England.
We should be an European con-
tinental power without Importance
at sea and without any world posi-
ton with "A population devoted prin-
cipally TO agriculture which could
not possibly think of ever compel
ing seriously with the English world
power or the English trade. From
this fate no voluntary agreement Of
England's, no paper understanding,
can protect us. The renowned free
dom of the seas which England in
its present position probably would
gladly accord us, would be entirely
under the existing cir

In America, men age prematureIy
after the age of forty-6ve. Statistics
show that the mortality from the de.

Digestive disorders, particularly con-

most cases the underlying causes for
this premature aging of the system.
Doctors recognize that the increasing
use of drugs and physics is one of the
chief causes of chronic constipation.

Secretary Baker to Suppress
Reports of the Movements
of Soldiers
DISASTERS AT SEA
WILL NOT BE HIDDEN
System of Regular Official Announce
ments by the War Department on the
Military Situation Will Shortly Be
Inaugurated.

WASHINGTON, July 30-The move
ment of American troops to France will
be carried on absolutely without public
ity, if the present policy of the war de
partment remains unaltered.
Secretary Baker and some of his mill
tary advisers believe that no word
should be published on the arrival of
troops abroad, and it is probable that
this will be made clear to all newspapers
and press associations in forthcoming
regulations under the voluntary censor
ship to which the press of the country
has subjected itself.
Assurances have been given, both by
navy and army officials, that disasters
will not be hidden under the veil of this
censorship, and presumably under the
new regula atoms also the American people
will be expected to understand that no
news is good news in this respect.
No official explanation has been made
of the reason underlying the decision to
withhold from publication announcement
of the arrival of troops. 1t is under
stood however. that Secretary Baker be
lieves that with large troop movements
in prospect, as the new army or the Ma
tional Guard Is made ready for the
front, it would be unwise to call the at
tentiOn of the German authorities to
what is going on.
/ Not all war department officials agree
with the new ruling. The secretary is
supported, however. by the opinion Of
some of the highest army officers and
there seems little doubt that the depart
ment is about to establish system for
the supervision Of press dispatches to
prevent the announcement of arrivals of
troop transports in France.
Secretary Daniels of the navy depart
ment, although he may not share Secre-
tary Bakers views in this regard, will
. not permit the announcement from hi-
department OF army information Mr.
Baker desires withheld The attitude OF
the navy department has been that the
whole matter OF troop transportation is
a war department matter, although the
actual routing OF the troop ships and Tho
task of protecting them at sea belongs tt
: the navy.
The objection to publication of trool
arrivals Is not expected to extend Il
properly censored reports OF the activi
ties of the American troops in France. L
Is possible, III fact, that system of reg
ular official announcements by the wa
! department on the military situation vii
/ shortly be inaugurated The secretary i

I sideration
