A German Plan for After War Trade.

AS frank statement as has yet
appeared of the dlfficultie, Of the
restoration of Germany's foreign
trade after the war Is made by the
Central Potrers Economic Gazette
when it says that German trade will
be possible with nations now ut war
with her only through neutral coun-
tries, and that ''all marks Of German
origin will therefore have to be OBJ
liberated from all wares exported"
Financlers and business men Of
Germany have been particularly in
sistent recently that plans shall be
made for the rehabilitation Of their
shattered industries. They have
been talking of vigorous economic
war, which DR.. DEhNBURG declares
lis us important as a military war"
Their problem, serious enough earlier
In the war, when their shipping YVES
swept from the sea, has grown with
the alignment against them of al
most the entire civilized world. They
recognize that with the collapse of
the foreign trade which they had
built up with years of patient in
dustry the German nation faces a
discOuraging economic future.
The northern German cities Of
Bremen and Hamburg, which were
largely dependent upon their foreign
trade, few months ago had a series
of commercial conferences on prep
aration for conditions after the war.
Herr BALLIN, the chief spokesman,
was none too hopeful of the situa-
ton. His principal recommendation
was that Germany start anew with
out the blighting influence of Ger
man milltarism or governmental con-
troll. See to it," this experienced ad-
wiser said, that no more dangerous
play is made with the carrying on Of
| national and world economy by the
| Barrack Square methods"
In this he publicly acknowledged
the regard In which Germany is held
by the world. He accepted a situa-
ton which Admiral Won TIRPITz In
his widely quoted statement, I'VE
need to have sea free from Anglo
Saxon tyranny" failed to understand.
German politicians in harping on "a
reorganization of Germany's foreign
service in respect to economic repre-
sentation and of safeguards for full
equality In the worlds traffic" offer
no solution for the nations economic
problems. The great factor that en-
ters into the restoration of Germany's
foreign trade Is the attitude that the
world will take.
Civilization cannot be forced by
| commercial treaties or commercial
agreements to accept German wares.
The individual buyer remains to be
! reckoned with. How long will it be
before he can so far forget the years
of misery which German greed in
ficted upon the world, and the crimes
| committed by Prussian militarism
against civilization, that he will ac-
cept the Made in Germany" mark?
The Central Pouers Economic Ga
=ette in defending its commercial
camoufage" says, considerations of
international morality must be pushed
aside" Germany will have no diff
Guilty In pushing aside such consid-
erations. She is an adept at 1t. Be-
sides, the question of international
morality" Is not troubling Germany.

SAYS HOi ISLAND
 WILL LAUNCH 50
 SHIPS THIS YEAR
Vice. President of Firm Re- plies to Critics Before
 Committee.

Washington, March 1.-Launching of 50 ships at the Hog Island yards this year was promised the senate commerce committee today by liar ris D. Connick, vice president of the American International Shipbuilding corporation, which is building ships for the government, said 25 would be ready by November 1, another 25 by December 15, and that all of the 12O vessels contracted for would be deliv- cred before the time specified, July 1919. ''
 MT. Connick made vigorous, de- fense of the corporation against charges of mismanagement and ex- travagance, declaring that enormous expenses beyond the original estimate had been necessary by enlargement of the plant and changes ordered by the shipping board. After the original contract for the Hog Island plan was signed, MT. Connick told the commit tee seventy 5000 ton ships were added to the proposed output, which had been fixed at 50 vessels of 7,5O0 tons each.
 In colloquy with Senator Nelson of the committee, who has been one of the vigorous critics of the manage ment at Hog Island, MT. Connick as- serted the American International cor poration invested more than $1, FOG, ,OOO which it paid for the land, declaring that experts were retained for ad- vice, the plans were drawn, and other expenses incurred, which represented a large outlay of funds.

PROPOSE MONUMENT
 TO TUSCANIA DEAD

Port Ellen, Scotland, March 1.-(By the Associated ess.)-It is propos- ed to erect monument in the center of the island ofIslay, one of the Inner Hebrides to commemorate the soldier dead of the Tuscania. Probably the monument will take the form of a huge granite column with, the names of the victims carved thereon, and the site will be knoll facing the Atlantic ocean on ahigh elevation, from which can be seen on a clear day three diff ferent points where the Americans are buried
 The first proposal to erect the mon- ument came from residents of the is- land and modest fund was started for this purpose, even before the burials were completed. When the American officials were consulted they declared they would gladly as- sume responsibility for the project.

MARCH EXPECTED
 TO MAKE GREAT CHANGES IN STAFF
New Chief Arrives From France and Is Ready to
 Assume Duties.

Washington, March 1.-Numerous changes in the personnel of the gen. eral staff of the army are expected to follow the arrival here of Major Gen. eral Peyton March, who landed at an Atlantic port today returning from France to assume his duties as acting chief of the staff. Officers here have no knowledge of plans General March may have laid in this regard, but it IS assumed that he will draw to his ald men in whom he has special per- scnal confidence. It is understood that one of the first acts of the new chlei will be to name a successor for "a1or General John Riddle, assistant chief of staff.
 Reorganization of the general staff recently effected is now in operation, 1t has been stated officially, however. that the general officers recently as- signed to duty as directors of the five major divisions of the staff are hold. ing their positions temporarily.
 General March brings to the head of the general staff intimate personal Knowledge of conditions in Frfance. He has discussed every phase of the relationship between the war depart ment and the expeditionary forces with General Pershing, and 1t is antic- ipated that complete harmony of ac- tlon and purpose will prevail on both sides of the water under his direc- tion.

Washington Opinion Changing.

Washington, Mar. Manifestations
 now point to agreement between the
 entente powers and America to con-
 flde. to Japan alone the task of talk. Ing such measures as may be necessary
 to combat German aggression and in- fluence in Siberia, and to protect the military stores at Vladivostok. No final conclusion has been reached, how ever, and it was said in high official quarters tonight that conditions were changing SO rapidly and so many new factors were entering into the prob lem, that it would be unsafe to pre- dict overnight what the issue might be. Exchanges are proceeding rap idly between the entente govern ments and Washington, and the mat ter was considered at today's cabinet meeting. It is understood that the state department is being slowly but steadily influenced to accept the view which seems to obtain in Great Brit ian and France, and possibly in Italy, that is that single power with an efficient army and navy within easy reach of Siberia and not otherwise em ployed, and acting in conformity with general agreement, might be better able to deal with the situation than any international force, such as was at first contemplated.
 In the meantime Vologda, a city of 6O,O0O people 375 miles east of Petro- grad, apparently is to be the Ameri- can diplomatic headquarters in Russia until the situation in that country clears. As for the safety of the ann bassador and those. with him, no deep concern is felt. The Bolsheviki auth critics have given no indication of hostility, and the only apprehension felt Is that the released German pris- oners in camps along the railroad might prove troublesome.
 The article lays great stress on the fact that the British and Japanese governments hold that Japan's inter- vention into Russian affairs is not to be construed as an act of hostility to Russia or the Russian government Its purpose is to safeguard menaced allied interests and to protect stores anr munitions at Valdivostok and to assist Russians to tighten and event. ually lift the burden of the German yoke.

 Tine fact that the amount of the loan is dependent on further legislation in- dicates it will expend $3.60O, ,OOO COO the remainder of authorized but un- issued bonds, and the fact that cer- tltlcates of indebtedness now being sold in anticipation of the loan bear F Der cent, affords some indication of the interest rate
 How large the loan shall be de- bends largely. however, on the fate or the pending war finance bill. car rylng an appropriation of half bill Hon and action on the railroad bill With it's appropriation of similar amount.

American troops in desper- ate hand to hand battle have re-

 There were number of Ameri-

 dead in the American trenches,
 while the ground in front was

Three German prisoners remain. ing in American hands. The ground m front of the trenches was strewn with German dead.
 Opened Fierce Shell Fire.
 A driving wet snow was falling this morning when the Germans opened fire on the American salient with ev- cry weapon at their command. >Sev- enty-seven heavy shells and gas shells fell in a perfect whirlwind on the American trenches for half an hour, at the same time other enemy shells in great numbers were dropping on the American battery positions.
 Terrific Gas Attack.
 The Germans, evidently thinking that the Americans in this section having had one taste of gas a few days ago would fear it now, let loose great quantities of poisonous gas, but the men put on their masks and only a few were affected by it.
 So intense was the fire that the woods back of the salient were shot to pieces.
 Huns Surprised.
 At o'clock the barrage fire lifted on the trenches to the right of the sa- llent and Germans numbering 24O sweeping forward under the protec- tion of their fire. They came for ward apparently intending to make a big haul and jumped into what was left of the trenches, but there, instead of the easy time anticipated, found the Americans all ready for battle. Fierce hand-to-hand fighting began.
 Cuts Off Enemy.
 One American captain rallied men with rifles and machine guns and went thru the American wire entangle- ments into No Mans land and there waited for the enemy, whom he er- pected to be driven out by his com- rades. He was right for soon groups of the enemy started thru the wire en- The Americans poured in deadly fire, but unfortunately the captain was killed during the fight. He is the first member of the 1917
