GERMANY SEE. kS AF TER WAR
 TRADE

PARIS, Sept. 21-Germany's prin- ciple during peace was to prepare for war. With memorable logic she has reversed her maxim and is now pre- pairing for peace during war
 Ernst Outrey, Deputy and member of the Parliamentary Commission for Foreign Affairs, discloses part of this formidable after.war campaign in an article In the Echo de Paris The principle foreign zone of Ger many's commercial activities is Spain. The German consulate at Barcelona has lately tripled it's offices and em- ployes. A German association has al so been founded to develop the tourist industry in Spain. Besides develop ing hotels and travelling facilities, this league is working to entice the Spanish students to visit German universities.
 During recent Germanophile meeting at Santander, Senor Zamora, deputy, announced that after the war German capital would be poured into Spain. and that German firms would establish new important branches. so as to sell German products which on account of the Allies customs re guiations, will be barred off other L,,,ropaau m ortafo
 There is no doubt that Germany is already preparing to recapture Italy's trade after the war. A firm in Milan, which used to deal with Nurem- burg toy factory, has been advised by the later that as they are prevented by the war from serving their ftal. ian customers. they have made ar. arrangements with firm in Madrid which Is taking their place temporar. lily. Every facility is offered as re gards payment by the Spanish repre- sentative, who is even prepared to wait for a settlement of accounts until hostilities have ceased.
 From these indications it is appar ent that the commercial struggle that Germany is preparing to put up after the war, is likely to be as formidable in it's way as her military enter prises.

GERMANS WRECK FRENCH WATERS
 OF ALL FISH

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
 Sept. 21-Germany's latest effort at
 sucking dry every inch of the inyad-
 ed regions of France before she is
 breed to give them up and eyacuate
 has just come to light in the discovery
 that the canals and rivers of Northern
 France are being seined lifeless of eatable fish The discovery was only made when the French recently un- 1ertook the task of rendering these waterways navigable after the Ger man destruction of bridges, locks. em- bankments and barges.
 The necessity of draining dry many of the canals and portions of river beds rendered unusable by the Ger
 mans has brought to light the numer- ous fish traps, seines, barriers and other appliances used by the Germans
 n order to catch absolutely every 'ish. Frequently the canals and riv- CTS were divided up into sections Wltn barrlCrS across eacn cnd Tn Oruer ! to render impossible the escape of a single fish. Evidence has also been found of the use of explosives for stunning the fish and bringing them to | the surface where they were raked in with hand nets. Previous to the Ger.
 man invasion of the canals. rivers and waterways of France had been in a 1 high state of fish productiveness by | both stocking them and by the enfor- cement of practical laws regarding | fishing. The idea was to keep the productiveness of these streams up to their highest pitch at all times. River fishing constituted one of the very important industries of the country, and careful observance of the fishing laws insured the perman- | eney of the river stocks. The one
 idea dominating the Germans ap- | pears to have been to make certain
 that after their evacuation, it would
 be years before the French would a. l gain be able to restock the rivers
 and canals to their former plentifuls.

(By Associated Press)

STOCKTON, Cal, Sept. 21. = Gaso- line is being used more than ever as substitute for mule power this sea son in the grain districts of the San Joaquin valley. Long strings of mules. the leader wearing tingling bell, familiar sights in the far west since the pioneer arrived, have been seen but now and then this year. and grain men say animal outfits for hauling are out of date, too expensive and slow.
 Instead of the mule teams as during the old days modern automobile trucks have appeared. To these trailers are attached to haul grain to the mills or warehouses. The automobiles in this work, despite heavy loads average about twenty miles an hour, grain men say.

SURVIVORS TEL l IF EXCITING
 EXPERIENCE

SYDNEY, Australia, Sept. 21. - Survivors of the sinking of the Penin- sular & Oriental Company's steamship Mongolia by a German mine off Bonn bay on June 23, have arrived here with further details of the disaster, which cost the lives of about twenty white persons and Lascars. The sur vivors' stories indicate that the mine was one placed by the German raider Wolff. The Mongolia sank within twenty minutes. in water so shallow that the tips of the masts remained unsubmerged
 Australians on the vessel included Brigadier General Sir Robert McC. Anderson and Lady Anderson of Syd- l.ney; Major Norman Robertson and Mrs. Robertson, of Sydney, and Jus. tice Booth. of Western Australia. Gen eral Anderson had been on military duty in England and Major Robertson in Egypt. They agreed that had the Mongolia struck the mine at night in stead of at midday the loss of life would have been heavier.
 "The wireless apparatus was shat tered by the explosion and we were helpless" said Sir Robert. Although the lifeboats had everything aboard biscuits and water demanded by the Board of Trade regulations, if we had been unlucky enough to have been lout for some days there would have been a greater number of deaths.
 There were two deaths iii my boat l One of these was from burns. Life boats should be equipped with hos pital chest and first aid outfit, and think a proportion should be fitted with engines. With ordinary lifehoats it is not always possible to re, ch 8 man in time. We had one poor char taken by a shark"

GERMAN SOCIALIST CRIES
OUT FOR FREEDOM; CZAR1SM
GONE, HE SAYS, BUT TEUTONS
STILL UNDER PRUSSIAN HEEL

Berlin, March 10, (via London,
March 2O.) Philip Scheidemann, So
oialist leader in the Reichstag, says in
the socialist newspaper Vorwaerts:
"It does not require many words to
explain why almost the whole world
il arrayed against US. The answer is
xiven quickly. The world sees among
eur enemies more or less developed
forms of democracy and in US it sees
only Prussianism.
We have always answered by refer
ring to the absolutism Of Russia, but
now Czarism has gone and the emper-
or's successor is to accept the throne
only if the representatives Of the peo-
Die agree. These representatives are

esual, direct and secret suffrage.
''In Asia, the empire of the Man
darins opposed every reform. They
desired an emperor with absolute pow
sr, as long as he did their will and
thereby undermined the monarchy and
laid the foundation Of q republic. In
the European central empire, similar
spirits seek to build similar Chinese
walls and hinder every reform. The
clock shows five minutes to twelve.
They imagine they hold up the time

STRIKE SETTLED.

The great railroad strike which was
scheduled to begin last Saturday,
came to an end suddenly when the
railroad managers decided to give the
Brotherhoods their demands regard
less Of what might be the termination
Of the Adamson law. A 48 hours arm
istice was declared Saturday and the
agreement was reached Monday morn
ing. At noon that day the Supreme
court had declared the Adamson law
constitutional. It is possible that the
members Of the Brotherhoods will re-
ceive increased pay from the first of
the year past.
The whole country breathes more
easily now that the trouble has been
settled. The President used his in
fuence in getting the men together,
appealing to their patriotism not to
start trouble in such serious times.

Mrs. Glib was woman of excep-
tional character and ability She was
highly educated and had all the cul-
ture and grace and talent Of her
Scotch ancestors. Her mind was de-
lightful storehouse Of information and
she read and enjoyed and absorbed
the books Of the great authors with
an avidity that was marvellous. Her
culture and broad views of the prob
lens of life, her accurate information
and her keen mental grasp of things
made her delightful companion and
a charming comrade. She was al
ways the center of cultured and in
tellectual group of friends who APP
preciated her brilliancy and her simple
and gentle character. With a mind
that commanded the highest respect,
she had the simplicity of a child, and
her heart was open to the appeals of
those who were in need of motherly
counsel or friendly advice. She was
loved because of her worth as wom-
an and her splendid character.
