which she enjoys a superabundance of
raw materials to throw back upon the
world markets, and she will be able to
sell these goods at a very low price.
There are factories In Elberfield, Rem
schied, craftsmanship and Dus-
seldorf today turning out a steady flow,
not for the purposes of war, but for
peace.
Germany's preparations for the re-
construction period are characteristic
ally thorough. The imperial govern
ment has appointed 1.-The Friedensu-
bergau Kommission,' literally the GO
ing over to peace commission, which is
headed by Senator Stahmer of the
Hamburg parliament. Associated with
the latter are the most prominent Ger
man captains of industry and bankers.
The plans SO far evolved by the Stab
mer commission for the recapturing of
Germany's So, 1000. COOS 900 worth of lost
trade are based upon the principle that
when peace comes Germany must ex-
port cargoes of goods hat far exceed
in value the class of goods she imports.
That will enable her to establish a sub
stantial trade balance.
In her export activities she will lay
most stress or lines such as chemicals.
d%yestufrs. hardware. cutlery and 'knick-
knacks," for her available raw mate
rails favor the abundant production of
those articles. They will have to i'm
port copper. nickel. cotton and animal
fats and American machinery. On any
other commodity it is almost a certain
ty that the Stahmer committee will
recommend prohibitive import duties.
especially on manufactured articles.
If Germany is to compete successful
ly for world trade, however, it is vital
ly essential that costs be kept down in
the manufacture of the chosen articles
of export. The imperial order has
gone forth that the exporters burden
be %lightened, and all sorts of conces-
sions will be made him in the form of
preferential railroad rates and cheap
inland waterway tolls and ocean freight
rates. Industrial Conservation, New

Congressman Bacharach Now
AT Atlantic City Offices,

The House of Representatives hav-
ing practically completed the program
of legislation mapped out for the Spec
ial Session, an agreement has been
reached to take a recess until such
time as the Senate completes it's work
on the several Bills which are now be-
fore it for consideration. Congress-
man Bacharach's Washington Office
will therefore be closed until about the
middle of September, excepting on
such days as it may be necessary for
him to be in Washington in the dis
charge of his duties. He will be at his
Office in Atlantic City practically all
during the recess, and can be seen
there mostly any day, although it
would be we'll for those wishing to
have a personal interview to make a
definite appointment.

Back Export Trade Lost, Through
Conflict of Arms.
Contrary to the general belief. Ger
many, during the past three years, has
not confined her s%hipbuilding activities
to the turning out of submarines and
other war vessels. Since the outbreak
of the war twenty-eight new freight
steamers have been constructed in her
shipyards. 1t is also worthy of note
that German steamship offices through
out the neutral world are being kept
open for the immediate resumption of
business and that recently the clerical
stats in these Offices have been re-
stored to full from half pay.
To the American manufacturer and
his employee there is a world of signif-
n in these correlated statements of
fact, indicating, as they do, the extent
to which Germany is prepared for the
campaign OF industrial reconstruction
and the wholesale conquest of world
trade markets. which she plans to un-
dertake the moment peace has been re
stored. Germany is making ready for
the economic war just as carefully as
she prepared for the present conflict.
Just as every man. automobile. horse
and factory in the empire was indexed
and given place in mobilization for ac-
tual war, SO have certain men, indus
tries and raw materials been indexed

Nor is it to be supposed that the 9TH

bidding for world trade after the war
to make up for the tremendous trade
losses sustained through the conflict.
Under pressure of national danger the
governments in these countries have
come into closer touch with their man.

ciples of industrial mobilization, are in
a position to aid those manufacturers
in times of peace.
Germany'S plans for the trade war
may go astray just as some of the fea-
lures of her military program did dur
ing the past three years, but a recital
of the active steps she has taken to-

need in this country for industrial econ

strife between wage earners and wage
payers and unwise business laws.
To begin with, Germany is not on the
verge of bankruptcy. She has no huge
floating international debt, and her
war loans are secured several times
over. She has not put such a pressure
on her mines that they will be over
weakened when peace comes, nor has
she exhausted her other resources. I'm

be in an excellent position to wage the

Public Library Open To All

An impression prevailing among
many people that the Pleasantville
Public Library. located in the Pleas
antville High School building, is for
the benefit of school pupils only, we
desire to correct this idea and would
state that it is open to the public gen
orally, and everybody is invited to
make use of it without cost. The Lii
brary is open at the present on Friday
afternoons only, but it is hoped that
with the opening of school it may be
possible to keep it open on other days
also.

Four Minute Men to Appear
 at All Movie Houses

Phoenix, Arizona, July 26th.-The Four Minute Men, of which George J.. Stoneman of Phoenix is chairman. are soon to appear in all moving picture theaters in Arizona giving four min ute talks upon vital war topics. This movement is designed to bring home to the people the various phases of war preparedness, and in the work the Arizona Council of Defense is asking the cooperation of everyone.
 What do you want to know about your nations participation in the war? What are the specific problems which puzzle you? To enlist your CO., operation with the Four Minute Men and make their work of direct interest to you, write list of questions you would like answered and send them to George H. Smalley, secretary of the Arizona Council of Defense at Phoenix, who will send them to the committee on public information in Washington, and they will be ans wered later on by the Four Minute Men.
 Send in such questions as you and your friends have heard in discus sions on the street, in stores, on the train, from school children, from your own children. If possible send the questions in the very language of the askers.
 Do not lose sight of the fact for a moment that this is your fight and that the men who are directing it are your men regardless of whether you agree with them politically or with their methods of conducting the war. Have in mind only the fact that we must win this war and do it quickly, and that you have right to know the things that puzzle you.
 It is proposed to use the queries sent in as guides in the preparation of short statements bearing upon spe- cifc issues so that the purpose of this country in this war may be brought home to people who have not had the opportunity, or who have neglected the opportunity, to inform themselves concerning matters which are not of vital interest to them.
 In sending in your queries if you desire to add to any of them as in- formation what answers within your own experience have proved effective that also will be appreciated.

PROSPECTOR NEARLY DIES OF
 THIRST IN GRAND CANYON
Forest Service Warns Tourists Not to Get Of Trails Without Ex-
 perienced Guide

Albuqeurque, N. M., July 25.-Nesr- ly dead from thirst and exhaustion in the Grand Canyon, James McGraw of Flagstaff, Arizona, was recently res cued by Wm. Lockridge, an employee of Coconino county, Shorty" Oller, of the Fred Harvey system, and Aldo Leopold and T. Earl Wylder of the Forest Service.
 Carrying only one gallon of water, McGraw entered the Canyon by way of the Bright Angel trail, in search of an alleged lead mine at the head of Pipe Creek. He did not return that night, and the search party left early the next morning. On the lowest ledge of the red sandstone about 1500 feet below the rim, McGraw's trail was picked up. Here the party was compelled to leave the saddle animals, but managed to work one mule about two miles along the ledge. At 4 p. m McGraw was found where Pipe Greek. heads against the main wall. In the intense heat he had been without water for thirty hours, and was un- able to move; but he was finally re- vived and able to return.
 Officers of the Forest Service poin; out the danger of going into the Can yon in summer without plenty ot water, and without guide or thor ough knowledge of the country.

The Chairman of the Council has taken a keen personal interest in this work, and it is hoped to make this crop survey one of the most complete and comprehensive in the country. By this graphic method of presenting agricultural conditions one is able to secure, almost as a glance, the exact agricultural situation in every school district. As a definite illustration of the value of this map, plans are now under way to get all the grain lands in Maricopa county (Nearly 30,000 acres) into milo maize.
 Increased food production will be a big factor in winning this war, and through this crop survey Arizona will be able to base its food product on work on facts and not conjectures.
 The County Agents are giving in- valuable aid in this work and the re- suits are being tabulated at the head quarters of the State Council of De- fense.
