Disturbance to Business.

The disturbance to the investment
market and business in general by the
selling of holdings to make this change
would be another angle to the situa-
ton. but the principal feature to the
government, it Is asserted, would be
the loss Of expected revenue.
Careful attention will also be demand
ed of and doubtless given by the COM
mittee to the rates of taxation to be
levied on products Of industrial con-
Germs and on profits, to see that they
are not made to carry a load under
which they will break, and thus defeat
the very ends of the legislation-rev-
enue for the expenses of the govern
ment and the war.
In this connection 1t is pointed out
that the government will undoubtedly
make heavy demands upon some of the
greatest Industrial concerns for the full
fillment of government contracts to the
exclusion of just that much work for
domestic consumption. AS the govern
ment contracts will unquestionably be
made at a lower rate than would be
required for general contracts, the earn
ing capacity of the plants would be
proportionately reduced and the profits
lessened. the profits from which the
government would expect revenue from
the firm. from its officers and Its stock.

position of our lawmakers to secure

MARKET LlTHOGRAPHIC STONE
American Quarries Report Considera-
BILE Production in 1916 for the
First Time.

In 1916 for the first time there was
considerable production of photographic
stone in this country. This production,
according to information received by
G. F. Loughlin of the United States
geological survey, department of the
interior, was made by the Kentucky
Lithograph Stone company, which has
quarries at Brandenburg, KY. and an
office at Louisville. In 1916 the COM
pany sold 10000 pounds of finished
stone at prices ranging from PA to
q cents pound. For some years pre-
Vious small quantities had been sold
occasionally in Louisville. but in 1916
the stone was shipped to buyers as
far away as Cleveland, Washington,
New York and Boston.
The greatest difficulty in the develop
ment of lithographic-stone quarries in
the United States has been the high
cost of quarrying and preparing the
stone in competition with the we'll
known Bavarian stone. Much of this
stone is reported to occur in thin lay
ers that require only planning and pol
ishing before use, whereas all known
deposits in the United States that are
at all suitable for photographic work
occur in more massive beds that must
first be sawed into slabs of proper
thickness. High cost of labor In the
United States and of railroad as COM
pared with ocean transportation have
also stood in the way of the domestic
industry

EXPORTS LARGE
United States Leads World in

Apples Comprised one-Third of Total
Shipments Worth $34, 100000

The United States leads the world
The fruit exports from this country
were valued at SIS, 505,OOO in 1910 and
$34 100000 in 1915. Fresh and dried
apples comprised One-third of the
value of these exports. Italy and
Spain are second and third, respective
ly. During the five years from 1909
to 1913, the average value of the fruit
exports from Italy was $21 ,492, 900,
and from Spain S21, $4,000. Lemons
constituted In value one-third of the
fruit exports from Italy, and oranges
one-half of those from Spain.
With reference to imports of fruit,
the three leading nations are the Unit
ed Kingdom, Germany and the United
States. During the five years, 1909-13,
imports of fruit into the United King
dom averaged 500, 1927 900 annually, as
compared with $41, 4S5 900 for Ger
many in the same period, and S27 0S1,-

the United Kingdom, the chief fruits
imported were oranges, apples and
bananas for Germany. apples, grapes

Countries which lead in the cultiva-

currants, Hawaii for canned pineap-
pies, Italy for lemons. Jamaica for ba-
nanas, Japan for persimmons, Spain
for oranges, table grapes and picked
olives, and the United States for

Large quantities of grapes and OIL
ives are consumed in the form of

Zurich.-Laden with cigars, cigar
cites and food showered upon them
by the hospitable Swiss, 50 of the now

in Zurich. They arrived at the Ger
man frontier at Lindau, after con-
tinuous trip of 81 hours from the pris-
on camp at Brandenburg.
The sailors, although emaciated
from their Imprisonment and serious
lack of foed since their arrival in Ger
many on December 81, are in fair con-
dition and confident that with nor
NAL amount of food they will soon be
themselves again.
The party was met here by United
States Consul-General Keene, who
greeted them briefly and asked them
not to forget that they were Ameri-
cans and not to bring discredit on
America by yielding 10 an understand
able temptation to kick over the
traces"
The sailors said that they were
convinced that the raider which sank
their vessel was the Ritz of Bremen"
They describe her as brand new YES
sci of about 5000 tons, capable of IS
knots, equipped with one funnel, two
masts, one false funnel, four torpedo
tubes. seven rapid firing guns and a
wheelhouse which was hidden by side
of the ship.
The tunnels had a devise by which
the stripes could be changed at will.
and the ships doors were SO con-
structed as to cut off all light when
they were open.
During their stay in Germany, they
reported. they had subsisted on one
allowance of soup daily and had made
their long journey to the border on
one such meal" There was hardly

not felt the fist of a German camp
guard, and the squad of five soldiers
which brought them TO the border had
exercised the privilege of abusing
them up to the last possible moment.

of severe cold weather in Germany,
due partly to lack of fuel, but more to
the absence of the shoes and cloth

TO FORCE STUDY OF ENGLISH
Uncle Sam Plans "Bie Drive" to Com
pei Foreign-Speaking Workmen
to Learn Language.

Uncle Sam is preparing for a big
drive-mostly on the eastern front.
He is going to send 100000 foreign
speaking workmen into the trenches,
figuratively into English language
schools, literally.
There are, roughly, 100000 adult
foreigners in the United States who
cannot speak English, and they are
not anxious to learn.
1t has been up to Philander Claxton,
United States commissioner of educa-
ton, to see that these foreigners are
Americanized.
In 1915 and 1915 Commissioner
Claxton established many schools to
teach English to foreigners, and in
dueed large industrial establishments
to start schools. The attendance was
negligible.
Now he has determined upon big
effort to literally drive them into the
schools.
Practically all of the 100000 for
eigners are employed in large indus
trial establishments.
Practically all of the large estab-
lishments in the country have notified
Commissioner Claxton, by letter, that
they are willing TO establish English
schools in their plants and make the
schooling compulsory, just as soon as
Commissioner ClaXton outlines plan.
Representative of most of these in
lustrial combinations will be in Wash
ngton this week, at the convention
md lust as soon as it closes Commits
Sioner Claxton will open an "Ameri-
canization" convention in the Willard.
He has persuaded most of these men
to remain over for his convention and
| help him work out plans for this big
educational scheme.
Two Detroit automobile plants
started some months ago to carry out
| the commissioners idea.
The schools will be opened in other
plants throughout the country within
several months, and will be the most
important work ever attempted by the
\ bureau.
