GERMAN BUSINESS MAN IS CANDID IN WRITING OF FUTURE Sees Absolute Industrial Ruin Unless England Is
 Defeated in End WORLD COMMERCE
 DESTROYED BY WAR This Writer Holds That Teutonic Empire Must Consider Other
 Things Besides the Map
 of Europe

Copenhagen November 20-(Cor- respondence of the Associated Press) semi-occasionally German voice is raised in plea or plaint indicating that there are strata in Germany which appreciate more than others that the vision of Dr. Won Bethmann Hollweg, formerly German chancellor, was narrow when he referred to the war map as the only thing to be con sidered in talking about peace, and that he failed to look beyond the con- fines of Europe itself.
 The Leipsic Neueste Nachrichtsn publishes a resume of the German sit- uation, written by Hamburg busi- ness man. The latter, it is true. uses his argument in favor of a German peace" presumably of the Fatherland variety, but in making it he writes in a manner not often encountered in the German press. He says:
 'Tn view of the fact that England has in the main achieved it's war aims, we must not close our eyes. Even our wonderful military situation in Europe does not alter this. Our mer- chant marine, our commerce with the world, have been so thoroughly de- stroyed, that we must literally begin from the beginning again, and dec ades of strenuous work will not suf- flee to rebuild what has been de- stroyed in these three years
 '1t was not the worst that the Eng fish, during the first months of the war, destroyed our merchant marine and our entire trade across the seas and possessed themselves largely of our colonies. They understood how to keep up this condition for three years, to set more and more enemies upon us; and during this period, with the help of their allies, namely the Yankees, to put themselves in our place, actual fy to take possession of our foreign trade, and to rob us of every possibil- ity of reconstruction by the liquidation of thousands of German business houses and branches in nearly all for eign countries.
 .tThe heaviest blow of this kind was the inducement of China, and most of the South American countries, to take steps of this nature. The German bus mess man, who after peace is declared, goes out into the world, will find ruins everywhere, and if he attempts to re- build them, he will be prevented by a wall of emnity. Not even the re- turn of the colonies would help us much, for they used to handle only a little part of our world trade.

Health and Wealth

From 'The New View of Money Mak-
 ing" by Hugo Masters in Physical
 Culture.
 Probably the majority of men do not know what real health m~ans. It means more than the capacity to sit up and eat, to walk about, to board a car and to bend over . desk. Real health means more than the mere abil- ity to do the same thing day after day. Real health means degree of stirring, nervous energy that enables one to think new thoughts, conceive new plans and initiate new enterprises. Superabundant nervous energy is back of exceptional mental activity. It is the basis of all those qualities which are most essential in the struggle for success.
 It is not sufficient to have health that will enable you to do a common place days work. The right Kind of health should give you the energy with which to perform far more than a days work, if necessary, even from quantitative standpoint. It is com monly the man with an unlimited ca pacity for work who gets on. He is able to work long hours without tir- ing. Successful men almost invariably enjoy the possession of this degree Of nervous endurance or working endur- ance.
 But it is not this that Is most i'm. portant. The possession of energy Is essential not so much for the sake of the capacity for long hours of work but on account of the quality of work which it enables one to perform. Qual- ity of effort is more important than quantity of work and the greatest value of unlimited energy lies in giv- ing one the capacity for concentra- tion, the capacity for an intensity of effort that is beyond the average man.

An Ancient Seat of Learning

From the Peoples Home Journal.
 The University of Cairo was installed in one of the magnificent mosques of that city in the year ss8, or more than 900 years ago. The mosque has been tho seat of this Arabian university ever since. The room for prayer of the mosque is also the university lecture room. Its floor Is covered with mats and the students enter this holy room only on their bare feet. In the great court in the halls of the sanctuary the students sit on the floor in oriental fashion assembled in groups about their teachers With shoulders swaying, they repeat their lessons in loud voice to memorize them. or murmur their pray CTS. Whenever the word Allah, mean ing God, occurs in the reading of the Koran-the Mohammedan Bible-the stu dent must incline his head gravely and with proper reverence.
 The university numbers 5000 students from every part of the Mohammedan world. It Is maintained by endowments. Every day more than 5000 loaves of bread are distributed among the schol- ars. and. besides, they are invited to free tables in restaurants and boarding houses, and there are also lodging houses in which free accommodations are placed at their disposal. The lec- turerS are poorly paid, but the rector, as head, enjoys large income. The hours of instruction are divided be- tween religion, law, logic, rhetoric and Reclamation of the Koran.
 The revelations of Mohammed, an Arabian prophet, constitute the Koran, and the sum of the Mohammedan creed consists of the following formula of faith: "There is no God but Allah. and Mohammed Is His prophet"
 The word Islam, meaning the Moham- niedan world which consists of 222, ,000, 900 followers of Mohammed, signifies sub mission to the Divine will The teach ings of the Koran are the basis of the religious, social, military commer- cial and legal regulations of Islam She Arabic word Mohammed means "deserv- inar of nrojsap

 istence. As pr. Helfferich recently showed, our foreign trade would, under normal development, have surpassed that of England for the first time this year. Thqt spells for import and export total overturn of about 3O.ooo,000,0o marks. 1t one reckons that this includes about 5000,000.000 for wages, freights, porfits on undertakings and other investments, then ore sees that this represents a total can ital of 100, 600, ,000, 900, or about one-third Of the German national wealth.
 Should our opponents succeed in bind- ing our foreign trade permanently, SC that we should be dependent in the main on central Europe, our industry should have to shrink and our entire economic life deaden. Our working classes would he compelled to emigrate because of lack of opportunity for work, just as in the 70's The German empire would be re- duced to a second-class power; in short, England would have succeeded in making of us what we were before 1870 and that which it would gladly like us to be again.
 We should be 8 European continental power without importance at sea and without any world position with a popu- lation devoted principally to agriculture, which could not possibly think of ever competing seriously with the English world power or the English trade. From this fate no voluntary agreement of EnS- lands, no paper understanding, can pro- tect us. The renowned freedom of the seas which England in its present posi- ton probably would gIadly accord us, would be entirely illusionary under the existing circumstances, and would do us little good !"
 The Hamburg business man-author, with this argument as a basis, then draws the following conclusion:
 Therefore, away with any conciliatory peace, which would be misfortune for the German people, and which would de- stroy for all time our future development. Only the defeat of England with the aid of the U-boats can avert this misfor- tune. Therefore, hold out until our ir- comparable submarines have done their n,,irLs.n

Buhl Road Figures
Have Been Compiled
r. NJ. Kunze Tells In Detail. The
Cost OF COnstruction-Buhl Wants
New Phones.

The figures have been completed on
the one and one-half miles of crushed
rock road which was put in south and
west from the Burley corner, and they
totaled $3O2O.6O. R. NJ. Kunze was the
foreman of the work, and under the
direct employ Of the Bull Highway
commissioners. He kept a detailed
account of the entire cost Of bridges,
grading and s%urfacing with rock. The
$3O2O.60 applies TO the construction of
a mile and a fifth, instead of a mile,
making the cost of a mile $2,416.49.
While some of the work was dona-
ton labor, account was kept of it as
the going wage for men and teams.
Though Mr.. Kunze says, the road
could have beer built cheaper had it
all been employed labor, for when
men are donating labor they do not
usually work as hard as when they
are paid wages. He believes that the
actual cost could have been reduced
by several hundred dollars, had all
the help been hired. He said that Of
tentimes men did not work a full day,
and it usually made the rest of the
crew "~shOrt-handed." w.ich increased
the cost.
However, the commissioners, the
people who live on the road, and all
others are well pleased with the re-
suit. They believe it will be a means
of getting hard surface roads all over
the county.
A seven inch layer OF crushed rock
was placed on the dirt grade, instead
Of eight inches, tapering to five in
ches on the outer edge. as mentioned
before. The hard road is 16 feet in
width, allowing ample room for We
hicles to pass each other.
The amount spent on the road by
the Highway district was $1774.6O, and
of total amount, $165, was spent for
bridges in the n and one-fifth miles
and $3.50 for the dirt grade.

Hunting Down the High
Cost Of Errors

1t was the smallest kind of game that the Howell
Brothers, Richmond Va, found when they had stalked
the high cost of doing business to its lair-nothing,
IN fact, but the high cost of little errors.
The errors were picayune affairs-too small even to
have been suspected, but in the aggregate, they made a
good sized bag.
And it isn't mere coincidence that after these penny
and nickel errors had been smoked out Of the business,
Howell Brothers hardware store started a growth that
soon made it one of the most progressive businesses in
Richmond.
