GERMAN AFTER
 WAR PREPARATIONS
(By United Press.)

Paris, Aug. 15 (By MaiD-Ger- many's principle during peace was to prepare for war. With memorable logic she has reversed her maxim and is now preparing for peace during war. Ernest Outrey, deputy and mem Der of the parliamentary commission for foreign affairs, discloses a part of this formidable after-war campaign in an article in the "Echo de Paris"
 The principal 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 also been founded to develop the tour ist industry in Spain. Besides devel- oping hotels and travelling facilities, this league is working to entice Span- ish students to visit German univer- sites.
 During recent Germanophile meet ing at Santander, Senor Zamora. dep- uty, announced that after the war German firms would establish new important branches, so as to sell Ger man products which on account of the allies customs regulations, will be barred off other European markets.
 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 a Nuremberg. toy factory, has been advised by the latter that as they are prevented by the war from serving their Italian customers, they have made arrange ments with a firm in Madrid which is taking their place temporarily. Every facility is offered as regards payment by the Spanish representative, who is even prepared sto wait for settle ment of accounts till hostilities have ceased
 In Switzerland German commercial travellers are buster than ever and waging fierce competition against their foreign rivals. It is interesting to note that the paper shortage, which is felt nearly everywhere, seems to be unknown in Germany, at least to judge by the press. The "Berliner Tageblatt," for instance, contains thirty-siX pages of commercial adver- |tisements.
 From these indications it is appar- ent that the commercial struggle Ger many is preparing to put up after the war, is likely to be as formidable in it's way as her military enterprises.

OF WORLD
 MEET ON FIFTH AVENUE
(By United Press.)

New York, Sept. 15.-Fifth Avenue is a promenade for representatives of all the allies fighting forces today. The salutes of many nations may ee studied on the avenue any afternoon. French soldiers, in their blue uniforms and their red-topped caps, Italians, Britishers with fatigue bonnets stuck on the sides of their heads, Russian sailors with astonishingly long cap ribbons dangling down their back, stoll along often arm in arm with American officers and enlisted men. And they're all kept busy salutlng, the Americans jerking their arms straight down from their hat-brims, the Europeans flinging their arms out in a suappy semi-circle.

AMERICAN FIGHTERS GOOD
 SPENDERS, SAY FRENCH
(By W. $. Forrest, United Press Staff
 Correspondent.)

Paris, Aug. 29 (By MaiD.-France IS beginning to believe that money grows on trees in the United States The army and navy has had several pay days. Shiny American gold pieces have rapidly found their way into bank tills in exchange for French coin ot the realm and the latter has been lavishly distributed in typical Ameri- can fashion.
 The French poilu looks with envy on his American fellow-fghter. The poilu receives four cents a day for being poilu. The British Tommy gets "A cents a day The American gets about seventy cents day. And he spends it.
 Farls newspapers never cease to wonder at the spending American fighters One told how common. ordi- nary stokers off one of Uncle Sam's battleships came to Paris and cashed big letters of credit at Paris banks. Another detailed how an American Jackie bought a dozen bottles of cham pagne just because it was so cheap in France.
 Paris hotel keepers have ceased to be surprised when an American sol dier orders an expensive room. Thea ter ticket offices sell high priced seats to American fighters without a mur- mur. Restaurant walters are not sur prised when they are told "just keep the change"
 So marked has become the Ameri- can money spending menace that the Army and Navy Y. M C. A. which is self appointed guardian over our fighters pocket book and morals, has placarded the following "donts" and ''whenevers.
 "Don't engage rooms in any hotel without first asking the price includ- ing light and service. And don't think that your hot bath is gratis. Don't order a meal in a restaurant without first consulting the menu and see that the prices are plainly written otherwise you may be surprised when you get your bill. Don't omit to count your change.
 Don't give all your spare change to the waiter. He doesn't expect more than ten per cent of the bill up to fifty francs and then five per cent after that. Don't accept outside rates in exchange for pounds and dollars. Go to a bank where you will get the right and lawful exchange.
 Don't ask advice from strangers. Go to people in authority or recog- nized associations of your own coun- try Whenever you go into shop to buy nything-always ask the price first. Whenever you order drink notice that the price is marked on the saucer upon which it is served.

(By Arthur E. Mann, United Press
 Staff Correspondent
 London, Aug. 2S (By MaiD-How a British officer feels just before going into action is tragically described in the following letter to his parents, re- ceived after the news of his death: My Darling Mater and Dad:-
 Tomorrow at dawn there's hell of show coming off and this will only reach you if I get knocked out. Mater be brave-for Gods sake be as brave as I know you can be-for it's hell to lear. Anyhow, you'll be proud, too won't you? Cos it's the best death chap can have.
 Do not think with pain of the things loved; the favorite songs; the friends; the tennis; the picnics and the Downs, but let their memory make you enjoy them the more!
 Nothing to say and this is horrid letter to write So goodby, Mother and Dad-and-and-cheer up every one!

In connection with the search for potash and nitrates in the United States the government receives many reports of supposedly valuable dis coveries. A letter recently received by the United States Geological Sur vey, of the Interior Department, de- scribes a cave in one of the Southern states. This cave is said to contain at least 100000 tons of nitrous earth, which, however, contains only one to two per cent of nitrate. The survey now states that it seems very doubt full whether such material can be pro ftably used as a source of nitrate salts. Several hundred thousand dol lars has recently been expended in one of the Western states in testing the proposition to utilize low-grade nitrate The results have been nega- tive.
