"Our chief purpose in the expedition
was to distract the attention Of the
battery while the block ships ran in,
especially the battery Of 11-inch guns

at the tip Of the mole. Our ship was
elaborately prepared for the business
of landing soldiers on the mole, which

THE GERMAN AS WE KNOW HIM

It is hard to realize how it is possible
for men of the present generation 70
manifest the characteristics of the Ger

Of Europe and America at least. were
civilized or enlightened, and il has been
a great shock to discover that this is
not true of the Tcuton. How has it
happened?
The result cannot be accidental
consideration of the forces which have
been in operation throughout Germany
for many years and in Prussia for
longer period, will afford an explana-
tion. The Emperor is the dominating
will of the united German states. He
has bee in his bonnet and il has
huzzed most industriously for long
time, probably for pretty much all of
his life. 1t is his ambition to subject
a big slice of the planet or the whole

and his HohenZollern ancestors at

lust for power which has kept them

the organization of Prussia and of the
German Empire which is obedient to the

institutions that form character and

LIMITATIONS FELT

LONDON, Z Feb. 8.-Regulation of
prices and limitations of profits to be
obtained by producers of necessities,
have developed during the war to an
extent probably never before known
in the British Empire Restriction on
prices and profits have been extended
to many kinds of supplies required by
the people or for government use in
the prosecution of the war.
Among the necessities most vitality
concerned, are food, fuel, munitions
and shipping. To what extent these
have passed under government regu-
lation is shown in a report submitted
to the house of commons by its COM
mittee on expenditures.
The price of coal has been regulated
at the pit mouth, while the profit that
may be made by wholesale and re-
tail merchants is strict yprescribed.
Ninety per cent. of the British mer-
chant shipping has been requisitioned
at varying rates per ton, based on the
market rates current in 1914. Nom
requisitioned ships are running ION
government account" at a narrow
margin of profit
In the building of standard ships,
the basis of the contract is cost plus
Il percentage between ten and TWEEN
ty per cent.
The ministry of munitions has at
tempted to fix ''the lowest possible
prices consistent with reasonable
return to the contractor and with
due regard to the urgency of supply"
Roughly, the maximum profit consid'
cred reasonable for main-contractor
is 10 per cent, or ~ per cent. for
supervision fog sub-contracted work.
AS the demand for munitions exceeds
the supply, competitive bidding for
contracts has stopped. Prices are
based upon investigation of actual
costs at contractors works, checked

ed factories in the same linee of pro
