Germans Push Plans to
Canture Trade After the War

Correspondence of The Associated Press,)
Berlin, April 2.-Despite recent
events in Russia, German trade asso-
Citations which were interested in Rus
sian trade before the war are pushing
their plans for capturing their share
of the aftcr-war trade. All these as
sociations have just combined in the
formation of a Russo-German eco
nomic committee, under the chair
manship of H. Friederichs of Berlin.
A circular from the committee says:
Upon the basis of the information
acquired during the last twenty years
and the rich experience OF the former
associations for trade with Russia,
the activity Of this committee will
embrace the whole sphere of German
economic interests in Russia, includ-
ing the resumption of trade relations
and the far-reaching support of Ger
man firms in all difficulties which
may at first arise, especially as re-
CARDS the period of transition from
war to peace"

Flemish People Are Now
Out With Some Demands

Correspondence OF The Associated Pressy)
Amsterdam, Netherlands, March rs.
Aspirations Of the Flemish popula-
ton toward nationality OF an admin
istration separate from the Walloons,
which appear to be fostered by the
German government, are set forth
in manifesto at recent convention
at Brussels of the "activist" Flemish
leaders. This movement to separate
the two races now composing the
Belgian nation is frowned upon by
King Albert and is derided in the
Belgian circles in Holland.
The convention organized an execu-
tive committee and conferred upon
it the title OF the Council of Fland-
ers." This council is to deal with all
questions OF social, political and Geo.
nomic nature relating to the future Of
the Finnish people.
Now or never must the Flemings
secure their national liberation" de-
clared the manifesto drawn up in the
convention. I'VE demand that the
national rights of the Flemings shall
be organized and guaranteed at the
coming peace congress. We demand
that all measures leading to the full
unfolding in our own language, Of
the Flemish nationality, shall be fixed
and guaranteed in the international
arrangement of the political relations
OF European states in. the coming
peace treaties. We may no longer
suffer that the Belgian state shall
set itself to rob the Flemish people
of its mother tongue and French
ify it"

Publishers Hard Hit by
The New EnqIiSh Order

Correspondence of The Associated Pfess)
London, March 20.-American pub
fishers of books and magazines are
not the only ones who stand to lose
money by the new order of the gov
eminent restricting the importation
of publications. The British publish
ers have found that they also are hit
pretty hard. 1t was a growing Gus
tom for English publishers to have
their books printed in the United
States and the loose sheets trans
ported and bound in England. In
that manner they secured the Ameri-
can copyright, which is applicable
only to books printed in the States.
This is all done away with by the
newest restrictions.
The American publishers of maya
zines and periodicals, for which Eng
land has become such fertile field,
will. of course, feel the worst effects
Of the oSder against importations. The
only way the reader can now procure
his American magazine is by ordering
it direct from the publisher in the
United States.

result the sales of this cereal were very
light. although receipts showed a fair in

aud there was a pretty active inquiry foi
these cereals at somewhat lower prices.

OF the commercial grades and sales Of white
corn were listed at sl.bl 10 Sl.5f while vel.
low corn ranged from Sl.H to $1.4s. and the
mixed variety brought from sl.A to Sits
A wide premium was paid in most in
stances for white corn, as the demand for
this article was rather brisk and the offer
ngs very light
Oats sold quite adj. Mt the prevailing
prices and the market was quoted from &c
to &c lower. with No. 2 white selling at 69c
to 69lac and No. white bringing from
6si1c To 6stc.
Rye followed the decline In the other mar
kets and barley was quoted nominally lower.

Prices on the French Shells
Reduced Nearly One Half

Correspondence OF The Associated Press)
Paris, March 20-It was not until
the battle of the Marine was at its
height, when war munitions were run
ming low, that the French government
realized the imperious need of an
intense production OF war material,
according to statements made by Al
bert Thomas, minister OF munitions, in
the Chamber of Dputies. NJ. Thomas
was speaking in reply TO criticisms OF
the conditions under which war ma
terial had been supplied to the French
army.
From his assertions it appears that
the French War department has es-
timated before the war that it would
be necessary for state arsenals to
produce not more that $4,000 shells
day. In the belief that, the con-
flict would be short, no provision
whatever was made for the production
of explosives during the hostilities.
When it was discovered, during the
battle Of the Marne, that this esti-
mate was insufficient, Alexandra Mil
lerand, then minister Of war, sum
moned to Bordeaux the heads OF all
manufacturing establishments avail
able and organized them into groups
for the rapid production of three-inch
shells.
Neither the government nor the
manufacturers had then any basis for
figuring the costs. The exceptional
conditions and the great need of i'm
mediately replenishing the supply, NJ.
Thomas said, accounted for the alb
normal prices and for the fabulous
profits reaped by the manufacturers.
Three-inch shells at that time cost
the government Is francs each. To-
day they are purchased at prices rang
ing from francs and so centimes to
7 francs and so confines.
