State of Trade.

The feature of the textile situation in
first hands is the enormous business in
military goods, causing full employment
of mills in all centers and assuring activ-
ity along this line for some time to come
Advances in prices of cotton goods are
frequent, despite the quiet buying from
the regular trade. Wooden goods for both
mems and women's wear are firm and
tending upward, the position of raw wool
being such that no lower prices are in
prospect Wool dealers, in fact, look for
continued firmness in the staple, and
probably higher prices in the future ow
ing to the world scarcity and immense
consumption.
There is indication of improvement in
the leather and hide markets, transac-
tons in the former being more numerous
and inquiries for the latter quite general.
The boot and shoe trade is still feeling the
effect of the weather, which has been

SHORT RATIONS IN GERMANY.

We in America cannot Judge of condi-
tons in Germany from the dispatches
sent out from there. Every dispatch is
dictated by the war lords, and the news
papers of Germany do not print the news
but publish what they are told to publish.
1t is no part of the plans of the Kaiser to
let his people or anybody else know the
truth. Not long ago, DIR. Agnew, who
has been Cuban resident minister in Ber-
lin for three or four years, left Germany
and is now on his way to Cuba. What
he says about food conditions seems to be
worthy Of credence. We are glad to give
our readers the substance of what he
said in an interview given to newspaper
representative. Before the war Germany
had II ,0O0O 600 cows. When he left Ber-
lin she had only 6, 200, 900, and owing to
insufficient food the supply of milk from
these remaining cows had fallen of about
one-haIf. Little children could obtain
milk as could invalids upon presentation
of medical certificate, when milk was
to be had
Three years ago Germany had 100000
sheep. Today sheep have disappeared
entirely,
One egg monthly is now the allowance
of eggs Coffee, tea and chocolate is
non-existant. Regardless of the social
class of the family the daily ration of
each person of adult age is: bread little
less than ounces; meat, | IA ounces;
potatoes, IL IL ounces; fat l-3 of. an
ounce, equal to 1:-48 of pound of butter,
and of sugar IA of an ounce"
The prospect of a good crop of food
stuff is not encouraging. The land needs
fertilizing by nitrates, which cannot be
had for that purpose, and farm labor is
being done by women and war prisoners,
Germany now gets very little food from
outside sources. Her agents are in the
United States buying food which is ship
ped to neutral countries and then reship-
ped to Germany. If we had less high
ideals and more practical sense an en-
barge would have put stop to this long
ago.
When the war began Germany was en-
thusastic in her belief that she would
gain much territory and exact large sums
of money from her adversaries. In 1871
she demanded indemnity from France
amounting to 81, OOO, 600, 900, and kept her
army in France till it was paid. The hope
of again thrusting her hands into the
Golfers of France and of looting the treas
ury of England has been alluring, To-
day her armies are mainly on the
defensive and hunger has joined the
forces of the Allies against her. Doubts
are supplanting enthusiasm. Germany is
weary of the war. Although her spirit
wavers it is not broken. But the forces
against her are cumulative and will pre-
vail.

THE UNDERTAKES IN BOSTON.

Three hundred woodsmen from the lum-
bering districts of New England have
sailed for France. They 60 there as mem
bers of the sawmill units, whose work is
to be the speeding up of the supply of
lumber to be used in the trenches on the
western battle lines.
In Boston they were entertained at the
famous Boston City Club The woods
men, most of them in their shirt sleeves,
sat down to dinner with Gov. Mccall,
Mr.. Hohler of the British embassy at
Washington and hundreds of prominent
citizens of Boston and vicinity There is
vast difference between walking on river
full of floating logs and promenading
the sidewalks of Back Bay. The Boston
club room is more elegant than is saw
mill But the gentlemen of the City
Club met the lumberjacks of New Eng
land on the broad level of equal manhood.
After the units were on board ship await
ing departure, in appreciation of their
treatment in Boston, the following letter
was written and signed by every man in
the party
Describing themselves as 'husky saw
bucks of old New England" the lumber
men said:
''You may rest assured that we, repre-
sentatives of the Drawn of New England,
will uphold the record for which our
fathers and forefathers stood. The gov
eminent we represent can depend upon
US to do our bit in the great struggle for
humanity, and when our work is over
God grant that we may all return with
the feeling that you and your assistants
will be proud to welcome us back to the
shores of Old New England"

ANOTHER INVESTIGATION
NEEDED.

The Weather Bureau has let loose so
much of the water which it had in cold
storage that supply has outrun demand.
After the President gets control of our
railroads and our food supplies; after he
has regulated the affairs of Mexico, Rus
STA and China; after he has forced Con-
gress to obey his will in everything, and
after he has whipped the Germans whom
we all love, then he will perhaps be
ready to have the Weather Bureau I'm
vestigated" This will enable a few
more deserving Democrats" to live at
public expense and will be quite as sensi-
Bile as hurting rhetoric at the ''Heathen
Chinee" and much less dangerous than If
ritating Japan.

Josephine Chiffon, reader, will appear

Mr.. Bangs is so we'll known to every
reader of American literature that he
will be among friends in addressing a
Chautauqua audience in this city. His
'Houseboat on the Styx" has perma-

others OF his short stories will be read
for many years to come. He has been
the editor of some of the leading humor-
GUS magazines, including Life, and was
editor of Harper's Weekly and the Metro
politan Magazine. His subject will be
''Salubrities."
