to mention only three out of the many
big and small cNaritiss that have
prohted by his poster sales. He Is
thus brought into close personal con-
tact with all the war charities, his
work costs him nothing except time,
and in the past three years he has
made $500 to give to many worthy
causes. He has no regular price and
no catalogue. People buy what he
has and give what they are able,
though It Is an unwritten law that
no poster should bring less than s..
A poster that has Inspired men to
fight or to give, and that Is besides
work Of art Of permanent value, is
naturally priceless.
Some people cannot seem to under
stand this side OF the question. A
Western woman felt much aggrieved
when she found she could buy the
same posters more chenply from q
New York publisher. She was buy
Ing them to sell again for charity
but couldn't realize that those posters
could work twice for charity. She
felt she must buy In the cheapest
market.
This shows what a man can do and
yet not neglect hts business. Lusl

muddle., To these happy persons, and
particularly those who are women or
are at present free from personal
labor on questionable, great op-
portunity comes. 1t Is to step In and
help the less fortunate who will sit
biting a pencil over a hard question.
The man to be helped may be a rela.
tive, or an employee, or n neighbor,
or perhaps a mere stranger struck
down on the road to Jericho by Arith-
metic and Forgetfulness. The Levite
will pass by on the other side and 20
to the theatre. but the Samaritan will
sit with the victim and say, "Yes, EN-
cumbrance' means mortgage What
Is the amount on your house?"
IT is quite true that the registrant
in distress Is permitted to 60 to his
local draft board for help. but It
must be remembered that the local
boards have been working very hard
and that they have tremendous tasks
ahead Of them. The more question
naires that, come to them in perfect
form the, more time and patience
they will have to give to other pa
pers that will be held up for error.
So If those Who can help their neigh.
bors will do so, the work Of adding
to the army will advance more rap.
Idly. Those fortunate persons we
have spoken Of have the opportunity
to do a good work.

the effect that Bulgarian troops are
already at Maubeuse. on the Franco
Belgian frontier. and that Bulgar
military headquarters have been es-
tablished ut Liege. .--
The proof OF the actual presence Of
Bulgarian troops on the western front
will no doubt revive the earlier de-
mands for declaration of HOSTILE
ties against Bulgaria. even IL their
alignment against the Americans
would not automatically create the
existence OF a state of war between
the two countries. There appears no
good reason that such n subservient
tool as Bulgaria has proved to the
Central Powers should enjoy the Off
cial recognition Of the friendship Of
this country and possess the advnn-
tages that such recognition would
give Of serving the interests Of Amer
ica's foes.

James II. Goodier. consul from Palma
de Majorca. Spain. reports that there is
good opening In that consular district
for the introduction OF special locking
devices. The greatest demand Is for door
locks OF various kinds.
The bulk OF the exports OF Brazil have
for years consisted of two products, coffee
and rubber. For example, out OF total ex-
ports Of $3l3.e2s,000 in 1918 rubber and
coffee comprised S24s,570. 900. or about
four. hfths of the total, BY far the most
important single export is coree. which In
1918 amounted to 3lss.157. 900. or over SO
per cent of the total exports. Coffee Is
not q war commodity. The Allied Powers
have restricted its import. Even more
serious Is the fact that the large demand
from Central Europe, amounting normally
to about 100000 bags year. has been
cut of. In consequence the United States
Is at present the only unrestricted mar
ket for Brazilian coffee, taking about one.
half the total exports. Added to these
pronounced restrictions OF the demand for
coffee IL the fact that the Brazilian supply
during the war has been somewhat above
the prs-war normal. The result Is that
Brazil has on Its hands an increasing stock
OF coffee. which 1t cannot hope to dispose
of until after the war.

Some Impending nesrrsngements
Geographical and Pathological.


The Austro-Hungarian note 80
promptly discredited by President
WILSON contained misrepresenta-
ton which cannot be too speedily
corrected.
The communication grudglngly rec
ognized what Austro- Hungarian d.
plomacy Is pleased to call mot slight
differences" between the belllgerents.
But with characteristic mendacity
the note affected to minimize these
differences. In this vein It insinu-
ated that the Great Alliance had
largely II not wholly given up de
mands which amounted to the dis
memberment Of Austria.Hungary. to
ea=sl!minution and deep internal
transformation Of the German EN-
pire. and the destruction Of Turkish
European ownership"
The insinuntion Is repelled by
events and portents.
The Inst Sultan Of a great Ottoman
Empire awaits a victor's disposition
Of Constantinople, Armenia, Syria

As for Austria-Hungary, Italy and

satisfaction; the recognition accorded

nation presages a Bohemian State ;
Galicia may cast Its lot with n re-
