IN FLANDERS FIELDS

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
lake up our quarrel with the foe;
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
II yc break faith with Us who die
We shall not sleep, though peoples grow
In Flanders fields

"My Dear Bob -
From The Manufacturers Record

SIN NY DEAR BOB" otherwise known
WI as Mr. Robert Grain, distin-
guished Baltimore political at
torney for the United Brewers, has for
many years, we understand been in the re-
cept of retainer of $4,000 to look after
the brewery interests of the country in
Washington. We have also heard that this
annual retainer does not cover important
items for special eases. 1t has been said
that "Mr Grain is a born lobbyist, and has
the power of getting in with prominent
people and pcrsuadng them to think his
way
The brewers should be ashamed of them
selves for paying such a niggardly salary
to "My Dear Bob" considering his immense
value to their Traffic. "My Dear Bob"
should demand a good big percentage on all
the profits of all the brewery interests kept
in operation for years by his ability to
shape affairs in Washington. The brewers
have been robbing "My Dear Bob" of we'll
earned income many times as great as the
beggarly $4,000 which they have been pay
ing him.
1t is probably very true that my Dear
Bob" he is so lovingly called by Mr.
Fcigcnspan in the letter giving in detail
the subscriptions by brewers to the fund
which enabled Mr.. Brisbane to control
"The Washington Times" has indeed
great power to get into close and familiar
touch with prominent men. That has been
credited to him for a long time
Touching Brisbane
The facts have been widely published
by daily papers and need not be detailed
here, but the contributions, running from
So 900 to $4,000 each were made TO
finance the purchase by Mr.. Arthur Bris-
bane of "Thc Washington Tines paper
which, like Mr.. Brisbane himself, has been
notorious for its advocacy of the brewery
interests. The list of contributors as fur

SOLDIER SULLIVAN IS
 PATROLMAN SULLIVAN

Superintendent John H. Redgate, at a meeting last night of the Police Commission, reported that Patrolman Henry Sullivan, who has been in the army since September, has been hon orably discharged from the service and resumed his former duties at the Second Precinct last night. Sullivan is the first man in the service to re- turn to duty in the department.
 A number of applications were re- ceived for appointments as special police. These were referred to the committee on appointments. The committee reported unfavorably on the application of Herman Green spun, and he was given leave to withdraw his application. Edward Mitchell and John H. Duggan were elected special patroImen.
 Superintendent Redgate reported that there are eight men on the sick list at the present time, and the force Is still further depleted by the recent death of Patrolman Henry Pitts. Besides this there are ten in the service at present.
 The payroll and the bills since the last meeting were referred to the finance committee.

carry this merchandise we shall have a larger tonnage of our own steam ships than ever before. The Central Powers which were accustomed to ex- port about $3,50O,000,000 worth of merchandise annually were cut off from overseas commerce during the war and the Allied countries which formerly exported about $6,000,0 ,000,- 900 worth of merchandise annually reduced that total to little more than $3,000, 100000, thus creating the great demand abroad especially for manufactures. This gives to the United States at the present moment a special opportunity to enlarge it's eXportation of manufactures upon which we must chiefly rely for future
 enlargement of our export trade. To
 do this successfully we must closely
 study foreign markeIs, make goods to suit the requirements of those
 markets, and sell them upon accom-
 modating terms, all of which we shall now be better able to do than ever be- fore under the opportunities offered by the Webb Law, coupled with the
 use of our own shipping, plentiful supplies of capital for manufacturing l and increased banking facilities.
 The National City Bank alone, he said, l had established during the war over 50 branches in foreign countries while other banking organizations are also establishing branches abroad.

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY.

The first great exposition of New World products and arts was opened in New Orleans 34 years ago today. The exhibits from European countries were of minor importance and did not compare with the previous world ex- position at Philadelphia. The dis plays from all parts of America, both North and South, however, were most complete, and gave a tremendous im- petus to the trade between the United States and other American countries. The Panama Canal movement. as a United States government project, was favored by many prominent guests of the exposition. The main building on the exposition grounds, was the larg- est erected for such a purpose up to that time. It was 1888 feet long and 905 feet wide, and covered a space of S3 acres.

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

By laying a total of 1,457 eggs dur ing the sixth week of the contest at Storrs, the hens made a gain of ex- actly three eggs over the preceding week. The winning pen for the week was bunch of White Wyandottes be- longing to Laurel Hill Farm, of Bridgeton, R. l., which laid 49 eggs. A pen of White Leghorns belonging to A. P. Robinson of Calverton, N. Y, won second place with production of 40 eggs. They were closely followed by Obed G. Knights White Wyan- dottes with yield of 39 eggs, and in fourth place came pen of Barred Rocks belonging to Samuel M. Monks of Hartford.
 Two weeks ago the Leghorns were laying at the rate of 21.5 per cent, while the corresponding rate of pro duction for the heavy breeds was IS I per cent. In the week just closed the 50 pens of Leghorns produced 6SO eggs, which represents rate of laying of 19.6 per cent. During the same week, the 50 pens comprising the heavy breeds laid at the rate of 22 per cent. From studying the records of previous contests this is exactly what should be expected to happen.
 The following table presents a few of the outstanding facts regarding the Wyandottes in the seventh contest, re- gently closed. The corresponding fig ures for the winning pen of Wyan- dottes in the same year are given for comparison.

OUR NEW OPPORTUNITY
 IN FOREIGN MARKETS

National debts of the world have in- creased from $44,000, 100000 to $2O4,OOO, 900, 900 during the war per iod and the interest payments there on from less than S2,000, 100000 per annum to over 0,000,000 per annum according to a statement made by o. P. Austin, Statistician of the National City Bank of New York. In addition to this the uncovered paper" money of the world has increased from less than $3,0O,00O,000 in 1914 to $24,O0O, 100000 at the present time. To that extent this enormous increase in world currency and world indebtedness has caused the increase of approximately 100 per cent in the cost of living meantime, the speaker did not attempt to determine nor was it possible to estimate the rate at which the enormous sums of uncover ed paper could be withdrawn from circulation or national indebtedness reduced.
 The United States, the speaker said would enter the new conditions of world trade resulting from the war ! with a less handicap than that of many of the sister nations. The ex- cess of exports over imports during | the war period have aggregated about | $10, 100000 and as a result the 1 nation now holds fully one-third of l the gold of the world, Meantime our | indebtedness abroad has been reduced from an estimated $5,000, 900 900 to approximately $1,000,000,O00 at the | present time and our loans abroad in- | cluding those by individuals, corpora t>tions and the advances made by the government to our Allies aggregate approximately $10,OO0, 900, 900. We have thus been transformed from a
 of sending many millions of dollars abroad to pay interest, we shall in
 future be receiving many millions o1
 dollars in payment of interest. The
 stock of money in the United States
 has increased from $34 per capita ir
 1914 to about $56 per capita at the
 present time. Meantime we have
 happily, developed the savings habit
 and the n lmber of holders in the
 United States of bonds and similar SC.
 curities has increased from about
 300, ,0OO at the beginning of the war tc
 over 100000 at the present time.
 These conditions at h >ne, he said
 mean the possibility of ability to sup ply the demands of the empty shelves lin every part of the world and t
