Akron, o.
 YYT Is now almost 20 years since
 H I received my tsst assisnmsnt to Jt write 8 letter on the rubber in
 dustry. I thsn had to travel more than 5000 miles to get the stuff. My first port of destination was Para at the mouth of the Anason. and I rode for several weeks on that mighty stream through what were then the chsef rubber lands of the globe. To- day the industrial demands of the war have given me 8 second rubber assign
 uent, and l have come to this little city of Akron. in the heart of the North American continent. am now On the root ox the interior state of Ohio, 500 miles from any seaport thousands of miles from the equatoria! forests of Brazil, and more than halr way round the world from Malaysia, where are situated the rubber planta- tons from which the chief part or the worlds product now comes.
 Since I wrote that first letter the y<sbber industry has bounced to the top o3s the worlds great necessities; the euaYStor of production of the raw mate rfa1 has travelled from the wilds of South America to the cultivated estates of tropical Asia and Akron has become the chief rubber manufacturing city Of the world. It Is now producing more than one-tffrd of all the rubber goods made by mankind, and its output this year will be so great that it could give s1o worth of such goods to every fam ily in the United States and have some to spare
 The motor traffic of today is oush- toned on Akron. The tires turned out there lasts year exceeded 100000 in number. and that product will be dou bIed within few months to come. The output at present is about 10000 tires every day or enough to equip 10000 vehicles while the sun rises and sets. There are now more than 5000 acres of floor space here which are devoted to making rubber tires only, and there are companies which make vast quantities of tires and at the same time other rubber goods of every description.
 I visited one plant which sends out

may have. She did this so soon as the war broke out, cutting off the supply o1 tRe central powers and placing an embargo on all crude rubber produced Within British territory. Until we en- tered the war we were allowed to get rubber only by depositing bonds in London through the rubber companies, that none of our manufactures would go to the Germans, and this notwith- standing the British colonies were re- cefving something like s1500OO,000 for the crude rubber brought into the United states. I understand that these bonds have since been returned. The setting out of our own plantations in Sumatra, which belongs to the Dutch, will, to a certain extent, relieve us of our depend- ence on Great Britain Other countries are starting similar movements, and es- pecially the Japanese, who have done great deal in rubber since the war be- gan. The Japanese have 147 plantations on the Island of Johore, opposite Singa- pore, and these cover more than o5VOO acres. The Nanyo Rubber Cultivation company, a Japanese firm, was estab- lished last year with s1.000000 capital. The Dutch have many plantations in Sumatra and Java. and they have large tracts of land In Borneo and other ls- lands which will grow excellent rubber.
 The story of how the rubber indus try was freed from the domination of Brazil is interesting. The manufacture of rubber goods on a moro or less ex- tensive scale Is 60 years old, and for 40 and more of these years Brazil con- trolled the markets of the world. The prices went up and up, and when the automobiles came in with their great de- mand for tires there was rubber fam inc and the price of crude rubber rose to more than 8 pound. When I was in the Amazon valley it was something like $1 pound. and the difference between this and the cost of plantation rubber may be known when, as I have said. one of our companies can now produce it In Sumatra for r cents pound
 The Brazilians appreciated that they had a good thing in their rubber trees and for a long time they prevented the seeds of these trees being taken out of the country. An agent of the govern ment of India was sent to Brazil. and he tried to export them. He failed twice, but was finally able to ship large

quantity in especially designed baskets by labelling them as rare botanical spec imens. The seeds were sent to Ceylon and there planted by thousands. The most of them failed to sprout and only three matured and grew into Hevea trees From those three seeds came the rubber estates which now produce three -fourths of all the worlds product. The amount last year was more than 300 000, 900 pounds and it can be so increased that 1t can supply all the demands of the world of the future. The development of the plan tations was slow. The seeds were taken from Brazil 40 years aso and 1t was not until 1900 that 40o0 acres had been plant ed. Five years later the number of acres was 93,o00 and this has now risen to al- most 100000.
 Today it Is known that rubber can be grown successfully a,most anywhere along the, equator where there is as much as 100 inches of rainfall. It has been found that the best soil for 1t is Ma laysia and Sumatra, and that the trees can be tapped there within five or six years after planting. They are now set- ting out from 30 to 125 trees to the acre, and the yield averages about two and three-fourths pounds of rubber per tree every year. The cultivation Is scientih- cally carried on, and the tapping Is 50 done that 1t does not affect the life of the tree. The tapper uses a knife espe- clally adapted to the work, and at each tapping he slaves off slice of the bark so thin that 1t would take 30 of them to equal an inch. He cuts this off day by day throughout the month, and that in such way that 1t takes three years to go round the tree. At the end of this time the bark at the starting place has been renewed and it is ready for tap- ping again. The trees are tapped every day in the year. and the rubber milk is so carefully treated that it comes out in clean sheets, which look like layers of cream-colored Japanese crepe. On other estates the rubber is smoked and it comes into the market as smoked sheets. It has the color of glue, and Is put up in bundles much like newspapers.
 In the factories here have seen crude rubber of every description. The larger establishments have acres of space filled with 1t from floor to roof. Some is from the rubber camps of the wilds in the shape of hams and balls ranging in size from a football to that of a bushel basket.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-09-30

These balls are dark brown or black. They are of the purest Para rubber and they bounce Into the air as they drop on the floor. I saw cords of what Is known as crepe rubber, which comes from the plantations of South Asia. The best of 1t Is from the tops of the trees, and 1t Is cured by ztfre coolies with acetfc aid, which is something like vinegar.
 There are altogether 70 different kinds of crude rubber. The most valuable Is the Hevea, which comes through Para, and of which the plantation rubber is the descendant. Another grade Is that from the vines or creepers of Africa. It Is gathered by the negroes of the Congo, much as on the Amazon, and 1t is smoked the same way. It comes to the market in strings rolled in balls of vari- ous sizes. This rubber Is much less valuable than the Hevea or plantation rubber. The same is true of the Guayule rubber, which comes from shrub on the

It makes, In short, so many things of rubber that the names alone would take more space than l have for this letter. Many of its products are of vital necessity to us in our war with the Germans, and the most of the fac- tories are now working on war orders.
 There are 30 establishments all told. They cover thousands Of acres, and some of the larger of them have as many as 1000 men and women laboring away un- der one roof.
 But before I describe these great Akron factories want to tell you of the mighty changes that are going on in the rubber industry. During my stay here I have talked with rubber experts from other parts of the world, and, through the chief officials of the plants, am able to give you some idea of the situation to- day. First. let me tell you what. rub Der is. It does not come from one tree only. It Is a milky fluid which Is found in the bark of more than 300 trees and -l. 1, trt also exists in a shrub of the Mexican deserts, and Is found In certain African roots. There are some trees, however, that produce far more rubber than oth- CTS; and there are four varieties Of crude rubber which are of especial importance. The species known as Hevea Is the best of all rubber, and 1t comes either from the Amazon valley or IS descendant of trees that grow there.
 Twenty years ago the wild trees of equatorial Brazil were the chief source of the rubber of the world, and they are still producing a large part of the product From the mouth of the Anna zon, all the way up its winding course to its source in the Andes, distance almost as far as from New York to San Francisco, there IS dense forest which, in places, Is wider than from St. Paul to St. Louis. This Is spotted with rub Der trees which grow wide distances apart here and there through the woods. They extend over a territory one-third as large as the whole United States but they are so far apart that the rub Der gatherer has to walk miles every day in collecting the milk from the trees he has tapped
 During my stay in the Amazon val ley I visited some of the rubber camps and even made some rubber myself.
 The rubber trees there look much like
 the English ash. They grow to a height
 of about 60 feet. Their bark is silver gray, but 1t turns black after tapping. The trunks of the full-grown trees are as big around as a mans waist, and after they have been tapped they swell out at the base so that they are much
 larger. The trees blossom in August

desert table lands of Mexico. The shrubs are pulled up and taken to the factories where they are crushed and thrown into hot water. As the water boils the rubber rises to the top while the wood goes to the bottom. The rubber is skinned on. It Is worth about GO cents less than that of Para.
 
 So much for crude rubber and the far away places where 1t is grown The most interesting part of the story is the ad- ventures of the product, after 1t gets to the factory and goes out in thousand shapes to help mankind on its march through the world. Above all. of especial interest just now is the part that rubber is playing in our great war in Europe, and how upon it may depend the success or defeat of our army. These matters I shall take up in my letter next week. (Copyright, 1917, by Frank G. Car

Association has found that in the
transportation of fertilizer only about
AZ per cent. of the car capacity is
now being used. This is on account
of the low minimum tonnage of car
load shipments. Figures for March
show that in the movement of fer

amount of 1882 cars was lost by
small loadings.
The cooperative committee on rail-

National Defense states that it is a

the railroads unless every freight

RUMANIA entered
The WAR FOR LOOT
DEVASTATION Is THE PRICE OF
HER BARGAINING FOR
SpOILS.

Washington, Aug. Arrival in
Washington of Americans returning
from the seat of war, clears up one OF
the conflicts many mysteries-ths
Rumanian riddle.
The disaster following Rumania' s
entry into the war caused political
crises in France and Great Britain,
but politicians preferred political re-
tirement to revealing the truth. They
had a complete excuse, but to tell 1t
would have been undiplomatic.
Rumania, dominated by a coterie
of corrupt politicians. with few rich
land owners and a mass of ignorant
poems, was ready to join either side.
She was frankly out for loot.
She had played the same part in
the Balkan Validating until the
contending parties had reached a
deadlock, then stepping in to decide
the struggle and reap spoils.
All thru the war her politicians had
played both sides and taken bribes
running into the millions.
In the fall of 1916 they believed
the deadlock had been reached and
Rumania's weight would turn the bal
ance.
The higher allied commands were
convinced Rumania would be wiped
out by Germany; they knew the army
was rotten.
But they knew she was bound to
jump in on one side or the other.
With the remorseless logic charac-
teristic of French warfare and state
craft, the French general staff reas-
oned it would be advisable for Ru-
mania to go in with the Allies, so in
the retreat, the Allies might destroy
the oil wells and wheat crop.
Early in the campaign the Allies
prepared to destroy the oil wells in
the retreat which they saw inevitable.
The work was done largely by an
American wrecking crew-Standard
Oil men with commissions in the
British army.
So well did they perform the Ger
mans have not yet succeeded in put
ting the larger wells in commission.
The Rumania wheat crop of 1916
was burned. The Germans have put
in a big crop for this year which is
approaching harvest.
Several divisions of the German
army equipped with hundreds of trac-
tors and gang plows have this task.
The work was under the supervision
of the same experts who planted the
lines in Northern France.
