business as a going concern The
great markets Of the world have been
and are to be found among the ma
tions who have parted company with
Germany in the present struggle. Her
past markets have been found among
them. The peoples of those lands are
not likely. by one common impulse TO
turn quickly to Germany for a renew
al of the commercial intercourse
which was broken by her act.
'As it will be a strange world upon
which the German merchant will look
out when war will close, 50. let me
add, it will be in a large measure a
strange world upon which the Am
erican merchant will look out AT the
same time. When embargoes are over
and trading with the enemy acts shall
have ceased to trouble, we also shall
see things differently.

Our vision is enlarged. Applied to

do to supply them. Our men with

lands. We are in the family whether
we will or not and in ms' earnest be-
lief we shall draw richly from the

IF we were those who look upon
the peaceful contests of commerce as

German Attack on Aisne


/. To the south, along the Aisne front,
the Germans. following a lively lombard
ment, have >again attacked the French
and succeeded in penetrating their en-
trenchments. AS has been customary,
however, the French Immediately coun-
ter attacked and regained the lost
ground.
Little fighting of great intensity, except
by the artillery wings Of the opposing
forces. is taking place in any of the 9TH
er war theatres. but there is every indi-
cation that shortly along the Isonzo
front in the Austro-Italian zone another
big battle will begin. From the head Of
the Adriatic northward intense artillery
duels are in progress. along the front
lines and against the Austrian lines Of
communication in the rear. Considtra Bile
activity also is in progress on the Carso
front.
Aerial raids in force have been re-
sumed by British naval avators on Ger
man positions in Belgium. The Bruges
docks and several airdromes have been
successfully bombed.

Forty-five soldiers from California ar

the 25th Regiment Of Engineers which is
being recruited here. Only specially nual-

In making up the quota to be sent from
this camp to Camp Gordon, Georgia. II
was announced today that a few men
would be selected from each company of
the depot brigade and that all sections of
New England and northern New York

to do with the civilian clothing OF the
soldiers. which is accommodating fast as
new shipments Of uniforms arrive, has
been solved by the decision OF the men
to send their castoffs to the Belgian ref
ugees. Two packing cases OF CASTOR civil
ian clothing were sent away today for
this purpose and more will follow from
time to time.
