WHAT is LIKELY TO HAPPEN IF
WE FAIL TO WIN THIS

An interview with President Arthur
T. Hadley of Yale University.
President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale
university has been interviewed by a
representative of the Connecticut
State Council of Defense, under the
plan of 'Made-in- Connecticut War
Interviews" being carried out by the
Council. He entertains strong views
on the gravity of the crisis facing
this country; and his interest in the
cause is more than academic, as he
has furnished to the service his two
sons, Major Morris Hadley of the
Field Artillery and Lieutenant Hamil-
ton Hadley of the Signal Corps.
What is likely to happen if we
fail to win this war;" was the signi
ficant question put to President Had
ley at the outset
"A series of war" was his prompt
reply, "begun without notice and
waged with much disregard for the
rights Of n-combatants.'
When asked for his grounds for
this opinion he continued Because
leading men in Germany believe that
war is good thing for their country
and for the world and should be con-

mot entirely" was his reply, but
the German people in general are so
patriotic that they are content to do
what the military leaders wish and
believe what the military leaders say,
so long as it brings them victory"
When asked If the warlike spirit
of Germany constitutes a direct men,
ace to America, President Hadley's
reply was unequivocally in the aff1r-
native.

Germas secret service has been &C

questioner.

GERMANY To MAKE

American Merchants Must Pre-

Washington, Aug. 27.-"Whatever
may be the outcome of the war, Ger
many is going to make as active
canvass for the export trade as its

warning given American business men
by the Department of Commerce.
The aims of Germany to capture

are disclosed in report just made

Austria Hungary when the war stops"
I'm looking to the future, the United
States has many of the same problems
as Germany and the other warning
nations. Like the German exporters,
the American exporters have to face
a period of sharp business competition
in foreign countries such as, probably,
has never before been met. In Ger
many the individual business man, all
the local and great national associa-
tons of business men, and the gov
eminent departments are even now
strenuously occupied with the prob
lens that must be worked out. The
American business mems associations Z
and the government departments are
alive to the Importance of, these mat
tiers, and upon their individual and CO.
operative efforts through the coming
critical years will depend in large
measure the nations future in inter-
national commerce.
"In the German commercial high
school at the present time emphasis is .
more than ever being laid on higher
courses in preparation for foreign
trade. At the commercial high school
in Berlin, for the winter semester
1861, 115 separate courses Of in
struction were offered. OF special in
terest are the courses on the general
science of world trade; the political
and economic organizations of the
world war and their effect upon its
operation; German cooperative or
ganization as result of the war; coal
and iron; the economic chemistry Of
vegetable and animal products: valua-
ton, treatment, and utilization Of
grain and the establishment of grain
elevators; the study of machinery: the
commercial geography of France and
Italy: economic conditions in Russia,
Russian language; courses in French,
Italian and Spanish; elementary and
Turkish.
AT the same time that is, in 1916, /
in the midst of the war, the University
of Berlin was Offering no less than "a
courses of study especially referred to
as preparing for commerce and in
dustry' There were in the curriculum
specialized courses in world trade,
commercial geography, and language
courses in Danish. Swedish, English,

st. NIary's Church.


Rev. Father Price Of Maryknoll
seminary, Ossining, N. Y, spoke at
all the masses at st. Marys church
yesterday morning. His sermon was
an appeal to the members Of st.
Mary's parish for sympathy and aC-
tive cooperation with the work thai
is being accomplished at the SEM
mary. At this institution young men
are trained for the foreign missions
and young ladies are taught to be
sisters of mercy. The seminary was
founded in 1911 and in the six years
Of it's existence it has been blessed
with marvellous growth both at OS-
shining and in it's influence in the
fields affair." A preparatory school to
the seminary has been founded at
Scranton, Penn, and the preacher an
nounced that it was the purpose of
the missionary authorities to have
in time a chain of seminaries and
preparatory schools, extending from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. At the
present time there is a great lack OF
missionaries in the foreign fields for
those missionaries who were physical
ly fit have been drafted into the
service Of the European armies. ST.
Mary's seminary is the only Roman
Catholic seminary in this country en-
gagged in the education of mission
aries.
The support accorded by the parish
was gratifying and of much material
help to the priests in carrying on
their work. Many subscribers to the
monthly paper published by the mis-
sionaries were enlisted.
Two marriages will be solemnized
this week at st. Mary's church On
Wednesday Robert E. Stone and Mary
A. Coffey will be married at o'clock

a prejudice against German products
in the markets of the countries now
hostile to Germany. With an as
sured commercial hostility in sucn
vast markets, it is obvious that Ger
man export trade must. make the
most of the few remaining neutral
markets. In the great neutral mar
kets of South and Central America
in which American exporters are
more than ever directly interested
in Spain, and in other countries not
actively involved in hostilities, Ger
man competition after the war will
be particularly severe. At the pres
ent time German oversee commerce
Is reduced to practically nothing. The
German exporters, however, are en-
deavoring to keep in touch with their
foreign markets and are doing every
thing they can to preserve their good
will in those markets. In the neutral
countries of Scandinavia, the Neither
lands, and Switzerland, Germany has
continued to do a considerab BILE eX-
port business. Manufacturers in
some lines since the outbreak of the
war, have paid special attention to
these countries and have actually won
a larger share of the trade than they
had before, because of the difficulties
those countries have had in obtain
ing ample, prompt, and regular ship
ments by water.
Invasion of Near East.
German exporters are already
planning campaigns for extending
their business in the Near East Some
Of the German writer's on foreign
trade urge the advisablllty or max
ing the most of the German oppor-
tunities in that region and are point
ing out that if sufficient energy were
bestowed on the development or Mes
opotamia it would become second
Egypt. They are pointing out that
tho thing for Germany to do is to
establish itself so firmly in the coun-
tries to the East that in any future
contingency Germany would have
overland communication with big and
markets and sources of
supplv for raw materials all the way
east to the Persian Gulf and the Red
Sea. The German Levant banks are
already there. Germany has already
aiken a hand in the construction of
railroads in the Near East, and 1t
the Germans can further irrigation
and the growth Of industries in that
section, Germany's future in world
trade will be more secure. The Near
East is apparently one Of the great
fields where German competition will
be keenest
among the preparations for the
period following the war the inter-
national movements between Germany
and Austria Hungary are most inter-
esting. In the common cause of war
the two empires have been brought
very close together, and it is felt gen
orally that following the war they will
remain in the closest of economic
