Moss, a man Of long experience in
| Chinese trade and one Of the liquid
ators Of enemy firms in Hong Kong.
'"The knowledge gained from the
liquidations is summed up by Mr..
Moss as being, mainly, a more COM
plete knowledge of how not to do
| business" says Truth. Instead of
the valuable lessons in trading
methods which some people ex-
pected, the merchants and account
ants in charge of the winding-up
| discovered practically nothing but
evidencS-unmistakIIble, conclusive
evidence-of the unsoundness and
appropriateness of the lines on
which the Germans did business.
Nearly 80 per cent of the trade OF
Hong Kong Excluding Chinese ma
tive trade) was in their hands, but
| they did not make one-twentieth of
the profits OF Che British--indeed,
more than one British firm there
makes for itself net profits equal to
those Of all the German firms Jumped
together. The great aim of the lat
ter was to have a big turnover, no
/ matter whether there was any profit
or not.
! cut-Throat Competition.
"As an instance Of this on the ex-
port side, one firm had built up
turnover of 100000 a year in silk,
but only covered the cost of running
the department. All engaged in cut
throat competition, not merely
against one another, and even in the
handling of their own German and
Austrian manufactures. In the main,
however, the goods they sold to the
Chinese-giving dangerously Icing
| credits--consisted of Manchester
and Bradford goods, for, though the
were retained by British firms, the
Germans had captured a substantial
portion of it by taking business-as
their books showed-on miserably
inadequate terms, sometimes even
at a loss. This had temporarily
benefited Manchester and Bradford
merchants, but, many of the enemy
firms were getting deeper and deep
er into state of such chronic over
trading that very little would have
been needed to upset the whole fab
ric and bring about a crash which
would have seriously injured Brit
ish merchandise and banking inter
ests.'
Made False Statements.
TT is not at all surprising to learn
that German firms at Hong Kong
added dishonesty to their reckless
Eess in trading. The winding-up in
quiries disclosed the fact that the
bulk of their business was actually
done on capital borrowed on what
were virtually false pretenses from
London finance houses. Nor Is it
surprising to learn that merchants
who treated their own letters of
lien as so many scraps Of paper, de-
liberately violated the conditions
under which they were allowed to
continue business in Hong Kong for
two or three months after the out
break of war"
The periodical says that Mr.. Moss
certainly shows that the methods of
German traders ARE for the most
part methods to be avoided" and
adds in conclusion.
s"And Hong Kong is not the first
place from which we have had
proofs that German commerce. about
the growth of which we used to hear
so much, rested on a very unstable
foundation"

pots and everything possible done to
nurse them back to health and
strength.
Convey Food in Lorries.
within two months of our occu-
patton of the proteCtorate, a large
fleet of motor lorries had been or
ganized to convey food to Ovambo-
land, and to succor those who had
been unable to come south and re-
lief measures were in full operation.
Our officers distributed large guam
titles of foodstuffs and relief par
ties were organized to assist stray
Cling Ovambos on the road. These
measures were carried out in the
face of enormous difficulties Of
transport, and in addition to the
heavy task of feeding our own peo-
pie in the northern part of the pro-
tectorate under abnormal circum-
stances.
'Tt cannot be emphasized too
strongly that long prior to the Brit
ish occupation of Ovamboland a fam
Inc had existed there to an intense
degree, nor can it be doubted for a
moment that the German protector
ate government is wholly to blame
for the neglect to assist the Ovam-
hos during the years 1913 and 1914,
and the first six months of 1915"

BLACK HILLS TRAIL
NOW AM OPEN HIGHWAY
Historic Road Leads Through Some
of the Most Picturesque Country
In America.

Lennon, N. D., July 1.-THE re-
vival of the famous Black Hills trail,
over which in the seventies. humid
reds of wagon teams piled, freight
ing provisions and machinery from
Bismarck, then the cad of the near
est railway, to Deadwood and other
famous camps, returning with their
wagons loaded down with precious
gold, was determined upon at meet
Ing here today of directors OF the
Devils Lake, Bismarck & Black Hills
Trail association.
The trail is now open and in COM
mon use for its entire length from
Devils Lake to Lead, Rapid City and
Deadwood, and thence there is a
well-defined system of automobile
roads leading into Cheyenne and
Denver. The road leads through
some of the most picturesque coun-
try in America, regarded from either
a scenic or historic point. and the
association plans TO spend a large
amount of money in improving the
highway and making the public
familiar with its advantages.
Definite plans for this campaign
will be made at a meeting of the
association to be held in Bismarck
in August.

London July 7.-(Correspondence

10 some remarkable stories of Brit
fish mistreatment of natives in Ger
nan West Africa which recently
have been circulated by the German
wireless, an official statement of the
situation in that district has been
given to the Associated Press. 1t
declares that whatever sufferings
have been endured by the natives of
Oyamboland were due. not to Brit
ish mistreatment, but to the neglect
Of the German government prior to
British occupation, and gives some
details of the work Of restoration
and and reconstruction which the
British undertook as soon as they
came into possession.
The most recent German wireless
communique on this subject was is
sued on May 80, and said in part:
.sTerribly critical conditions have
been created in German West Africa
owing to the occupation of that
country by the English. A mission
ary writes TO a South African mis-
sion paper: In the Ovambo coun-
try the terrors of war were followed
BY even greater terrors of famine.
Now and then the country has been
visited before by similar Affections,
but the German government took
care to prevent suffering by helpful
precautions so that the Affections

Reckless FaIsehood.
9 The facts as established by re-
PORTS from the governor general of
Houth Africa, illustrate the reckless
falsehood Of the German official
statements. The British reply is as
follows:
''The territory Of Ovamboland was
Included within the borders of the
German protectorate or Southwest
Africa, but was always left severely
alone by the German administration.
The events referred to in the wire
