The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1917-07-10

From the commercial viewpoint,
The blow which our enemy has sus-
rained has been severe. Little is LETT
81 those foreign trade relations whose
increasing volume was Germanys
pride and placed her second in the
world scale, Immediately after Great
Britain. More than two-thirds of
Germany's exports went to countries
which are now at war with her and
while she was able to continue her
trade with contiguous neutral coun-
tries. l do not believe the volume OF
that trade has increased in the
course of the war to any great eX-
tent.
The only prosperous workshops in
Germany now are those working FOR
The army and navy. Krupp's, CT
course. are in full swing and have
started a big branch near Munich. The
building of cars and locomotives is
active. But a great number of other
plants are shut down.
One of the numerous German in
dustries suffering from the war IS
chat Of potash, the expectation OF
which has been considerably re-
,duced. In January last the Frank
furter Zeitung did not hesitate to de-
clare that companies owning potash
concessions we're following an adj
venturous policy instead of husband
ing their as they would do
IN peace time. The value Of the pot
ash output, which exceeded $4,000
900 yearly, has fallen to half that
figure.
The intervention of the empire was
1ardy and vitiated by the fact that
individual confederated States have
their own interests in the potash de-
posits. The capital tied up in these
undertakings is very considerable,
hut the dividend yield is small.
There has lately been some talk OF
an imperial monopoly of potash, but
II the companies stocks were taken
over at present prices on the Boursei
the result would be d%eplorable for the
public finances; if on the other hand
the companies merely received pay
ment on the basis of the real value oil
their potash deposits, they would
sustain an loss.
I'd to now Germans have had q
monopoly in potash, but such viii
cease to be the case when we have
obtained the retrocession of Alsace-
Lorraine with its huge potash re-
sources.
The effect of Germany's poor in.
dustrial situation is, of course, seer
in her financial and monetary position
With most foreign markets closed tC
her and unable to secure credits
abroad, her banknote has deprecated
rapidly. She has made six nationa
Noans; she has increased her own re

and thefts of all kinds through the
medium of her armies; but all the
same she will find it increasingly diff
ficult to find the money she requires
for her own needs and those of her
allies.
The German imperial debt is to-
day about twelve times what it was
on August 1, 1914, when the total was
$1,25O,OO 200.
Since the war began the expendi-
ture of the empire has figured in a
separate budget fed by loans and con-
stituted by virtue of parliamentary
appropriation votes, the total of
which o reaches $19,75O ,OOO, 900.
By the law of August 4, 1914, the
Chancellor was authorized to issue
long and short-term notes up to
S1,250, 100000. The empires metallic
reserves-$60, 900 1000 gold and 49,
100000 silver-was also turned over
to this extraordinary budget.
The ordinary budgets have been
maintained throughout the war pretty
much on the lines of the peace
budgets. The ordinary budget for
1918 was for a total of S31, 1000, or
S2O,OOO,O 900 lower than the preceding
budget. A great part Of the expendi-
ture on the army and navy no longer
figured on this budget. but on the
other hand, it had to carry more than
$25O,OOO, 900 as interest charges for
the national debt.
The most astonishing feature of the
1915 budget was the sum of sl7S.OO0.-
600 credited as cuetop,s ravor,,o ~
was the figure in the 1914 budget VET
owing to the war Germany's world
trade had ceased since. The extraor.
dlnary war expenditure allowed for in
the 1915 budget was $2,510.500, 900.
The ordinary part of the imperial
budget for 1916 totalled 1914 900
Customs receipts continued to figure
at $l7S,OOO,OOO. Expenditure on army
and navy, except for a residue of $12.
600 ZOO entirely disappeared from tn,
ordinary budget, but it's burden un.
der the heading of interest charge.
Tor the national debt increased b,
S257 10000; The extraordinary wal
expenditure rose this year 10 $500,
100000 to be covered by loans.
The imperial budget for 1917 was
presented in February last. It's tota
was $1,235, 100000. The increase /,

The old axiom Of sport They can't
Come back" is faced with n new
theorem in 1918 baseball They must
come back"
1t Is on the chances OF the old stars
coming back that baseball magnates
are basing their hopes now.
OF these men who have rei ched the
end Of the road in ordinary times a
great many will hear the call to fill
the ranks depleted by war.
The following men VINO have been
cut of baseball for few seasons, Oh
who have been retained as coaches
probably will have u chance to show
whether or not they can come back.
Infielders-Larry Lajoie, Hans Wag.
ner, Hans Lobert, Joe Tinker. Jimmie
viox, Jay Kidke, Clyde Eng:e, Leary,
steve Yerkes, Harry Lord, John Hum
nell, Jacques Fourier, Won Kolnitz,
Art Phelan and George stovall.
Outfielders-Sam Crawford, Birdie
Cree, Olaf Hendrickson, Wade Kill.
fer, Ham Hyatt, Fred Snodgrass ano
others.
Catchers-Tom Clarke. George Glib
son, Jimmie Archer, Sweeney and
Doom.
1t is a usual rule that when pitch.
er is through he cannot make good on
another trial. Yet there are few
pitchers back In the big minors who
might come in mighty handy this year
Vean Gregg led the International
League last year and might be ready
for comeback; Fred Falkenburg
probably has few good games in his
head II he hasn't in his ancient arm;
Nap Rucker might be coaxed back to
the big show for another try-out.
It Is likely the bench managers of
last year will be coaxed into the game.
Matthewson declares be will get into
shape and pitch If he finds is neces.
sary. and Miller Higgins probably will
be found on the field II the Yankees
run short OF infielders.
1t Is bound to be dull winter for
writing obituaries. of oldtimers. Few
of the veterans will be released this
year. John Evers may retire on &C.
COUNT of poor health, but the others
who probably would have been side
tracked this year had the year been
normal, undoubtedly will be found
back in fast company again.

SINGING is LOST ART TODAY
In This Age 1t Is Largely Confined to
the Professional Performers, Even
in the Churches.

Singing, as far as most people are
concerned, is lost art. Thousands at
tend operas, recitals and musical COM
edies, but, as for singing themselves
Informally at their work or play, they
have forgotten how. In times past
people Of all ranks sang together as
matter of course. Sailors sang at
their work; peasants, shepherds, cow
boys, all had their favorite and appro-
pirate songs. The songs Of children at
games, the lullabies of mothers, are
In the collected ballads and folklore
of many peoples.
''The pastimes and labors of the hus-
bandman and the shepherd" says An
drew Lang, according to the Indianapo-
lis News, "were long ago a kind Of
natural opera. Each task had it's
own song; planting, seeding, harvest
ing, burial, all had their appropriate
ballads or dirges.
''The whole soul of the peasant class
breathes in it's burdens as the great
sea resounds in the shell mast up on
the Shore"
Nowadays the whirl Of machinery
makes all the noise. The workers in
mills might find it unsatisfying to sing
at their work, but it is doubtful If they
would sing even if their voices could
be heard, while singing in an Office or
store would pretty surely be stopped
by the "boss" or the police. Thousands

Of moving picture theaters, and even
in the churches where singing by the
congregation used to be customary, the
attendants now usually listen in silence
to paid singer.
Singing in this age is largely con-
fined to the professional performer.

Pigs Eat Less Than Chickens

Keep pigs instead of chickens, is the
British governments latest advice to
householders bent on maintaining the
food supply at the least possible ex-
pense. 1t appears that it costs less to
feed a big pig than it does to feed
little chicken. Chickens eat too much
corn, for want of which horse racing is
about to be halted in England, while
pigs will clean up all the waste and
scraps from The table.
