Germans Losing
Hope of Regaizainagy g
T I rade After War
View Spreads Commerce
Will Depend ON Peace
Treaty Conditions
The Ne1p York Tribune
F0rci0u Press BltrcIL

The long duration Of the war is
changing German opinion on their com
mercial prospects for the end of the
struggle, says the "Gazette de Lau
same" Their opinion is not SO unani-
nous now as it was IN 1914 and 1915
that on the conclusion of peace they
will be able to begin Immediately TO
seize the worlds markets by underbid-
ding and underselling. Some German
and Austrian economists. however, still
look for rapid revival Of Teutonic ex-
port business.
Gustavc STOPPER, an Austrian, holds
this view, basing his argument on two
principal conditions first. France, Be-
GUM and Poland, three countries es-
scntially industrial, have had their fac
tories destroyed and will be unable to
enter into effective competition with
German industry; second, Europe Will
require enormous amounts of supplies
of all kinds, and will buy wherever she
can get the goods
Pessimism over the German outlook
gains from day to day, however, and
the view is spreading widely that Ger
man commerce after the war Will de-
pend very largely on the conditions Of
the peace treaty. This leads an impor-
tant group of German economists to
believe Germany should organize her
self so as TO depend as little as pos
sible on other countries.
The "Frankfurter Zeitung" publishes
an article in which It says that before
the war the general policy followed by
all nations was to assure a foreign
market for surplus products, while
keeping up prices at home by means of
protective tariffs. After the war the
principal task will be to assure plenty
Of raw materials and foodstutfs at a
reasonable price.
To pay for her imports Germany will
have to export manufactured articles,
as she has not the necessary credits in
other countries to pay in cash. But
she will find an enormous difficulty N
this, IS both her friends and enemies
have been forced by the war to learn to
manufacture for themselves. Moreover,
the general rise in prices will be an
ether obstacle.
The struggle will no longer be based
on protective tariffs, for the oscilla-
tions in exchange will weaken the eff
tect of tariff regulations, and they will
be replaced by compensations
Before the war, the article continues.
German merchants inundated other
countries with German products. They
were so aggressive in their methods
that they got q bad reputation, and
since the wan there Aas been regular
propaganda throughout the world to
rum German commerce by charging.
that German merchants make a prec
tlcc of abusing the hospitality accorded
them. In the treaty Of peace it must
be provided that commercial relations
are not a concession. but compensa-
tlon, that those countries having great
colonial possessions owe to those other
countries not SO we'll situated.

Shope, from the United States Naval
Academy at Annapolis, was spite work
on the part of George NJ. Kcnnerly,
prosecuting Attorney at Chattanooga,
Tenn, who was vexed because she had
Obtained bail on the charge on which
she was arrested there. She spoke as
a mother defending her son, and not
at all as siren, alleged to have lured

But they had better watch out.
Ihere was no necessity for dragging
my boy INTO this trouble. He is inno-

Most Of the evidence upon which tho
baroness relies to clear her son of the
Stigma that has been put on him is in

man that ever played there into court
said Mr.. Smith. 1--WE been easy thus
far, but everybody's got to come here
and tell me everything he knows
about that big monthly meeting on
January %"
This announcement caused Just
twenty-five Partridges to scream and
flap for help. Loud cries went up all
day. Most Of them asked to be ex-
cused. They found District Attorney
Swami adamant and his assistant with
out heart. 1t was learned last night
that some of the twenty-five are men

record last Wednesday by Mr.. Bauchle
When he took the stand before Judge
Wadhams in his own defence.

written yesterday in Specials Sessions

bail OF $1,000 each was declared for

The Actress, the bad Loser,'
And, Oh! the Lost $4,000
Man Who Paid That Amount to Woman Banker in
Banker and Broker" Game Tells District
Attorney About 1t

Waiting for complaints against gam
blers might be lonely and monot-
onous business if it were not for the
fact that among the gentlemen who
tuck their knees under the green baize
tables for poker, baccarat or chemin
de fer, now and then a bad loser shows
his head above the boards. Such per-
sonage has complained to District At
torney Swami that we'll known
actress, now in motion pictures, sepa-
rated him from $4,000 on the Thurs
day before Christmas, most unsea-
sonable time to be relieved OF ones
surplus
James f. Smith, Assistant District
Attorney, has found that the game was
q Fifth Avenue hotel-a little uptown.
The actress was playing the part of
the banker. Two other actresses and
four men were in the game. The limit
was $40. The men stayed in until col
lectivcly they had lost $4,000.
Mr.. Smith. delving into this unfortu
nate occurrence, established the fact
that our victim is wealthy in his own
name, so enormously so that he can
well aHofu TO lose Ten tlNeS lIlaC
amount. But just because man can
afford to lose doesn't deter the District
from exposing the crlminality
Of it all Mr.. Swami says so.
Another unfortunate phase of this
crusade against gambling is the fact
that twenty-five ma:sabars of George
Young Bauchle's Partridge Club have
been subpmnucd to take the stand i'll

he American Defence Society has
sent letter to every member of Con-

The letter, which was signed by Henry

of the board of trustees, and II. D.
Craig, secretary of the society, de-
clared that the ideals of the alliance

The letter openly charges that the
ultimate aim of the alliance is to sub
ordinate the welfare of the country to
the ambitions of the German Emperor.
