some concern. Over here some Of
Uncle Sans warehouses require the
help of more than 5000 men properly

The foregoing are a few of the
points brought out by Clarence Bud
ington Kelland, writing for the Y. M.
C. A. from overseas, in declaring that
Americans should be proud of the ac-
complishments of this country
within year in France. He say
that Uncle Sam has commissary
business in France that dwarfs the
greatest wholesale or supply busi-
ness in the United States.

This establishment of Uncle
Sans" says KeIland. cannot be fig
ured by SO many feet of floor space.
but i'll units of acres, almost of
miles. One of these commissary de-
pots requires<ffty miles OF railroad,
in intricate network, to care for it.
"As we passed the open doors OF a
warehouse the variety and quantity
of its contents amazed us. First we
saw tons upon tons of tobacco. Next
was canned corn-it looked as though
the entire crop OF Iowa was IN that

by the ton. Shovel heads-enough TO
dig trenches from the sea to Switzer-
land-were piled up. There were also
supplies ofS all character"
Kelland says that the Y. NJ. c. A.
plays a prominent part in this work.
Barracks for the thousands of men
required he says, form a good
sized town. The Y. NJ. c. A. has a
large number of .huts at these depots.

Out of his meager savings he paid
for course in night school, and
it is told of him that once he was on
the point of being discharged by his
mill boss for being found buried in
an English grammar while at work.
When still in his teens, a press
biographer relates, he bought a sec
ond-hand dictionary and spent sew
eral months copying it from begin
ming to end. In this way he acquired
remarkable precision in his public
speeches, The books he studied were
the works of economists. philos-

WARR|NG FOR CONTROL
IN COTTON AND WOOL
Aims Of United States and Great
Britain Interpreted by German
to Leipzig Manufacturers.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AMSTERDAM, August 24.-Count
Vitzthum d'Eckstadt, minister of for
eign affairs and interior in the cabi-
net of Saxony, on opening a fiber
textile exhibition at Leipzig today.
declared that the aim of Great Britain
and the United States was to monopo-
lize the world commerce in wool and
cotton.
The minister continued:
"If they succeed manufacturers will
be obliged to close most of their fac
tories. and from . to 10 per cent of
the German population will be unable
to make q living. They will be forced
to emigrate and be exposed to ex-
ploitation by the English and Ameri-
cans. For many generations to come
the fatherland would be reduced to
poverty.
The less England thinks of aban-
doning these war aims the less chance
there is for peace by agreement
Nothing is more erroneous than the
idea that pre-war condition will be
re-esta blished by a speedy peace.
I'VE must continue to fight until
England is forced to admit US to free
intercourse in the world market and
to supply US with a portion of the
raw materials which we need"

GERMAN AIR MURDER
BEGAN FOUR YEARS AGO
Rr the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, August 24.-Four years
ago tomorrow. August 25, 1914, the
Germans began their campaign of
frightfulness in the air, the killing of
non-combatants by dropping bombs
from airships. The first German air
murder of civilians took place at Ant
werp. 1t sent a shudder of horror
then the world has Travelled far on the
path of horror.
The battle of Mons had opened, and
the French and British forces were
falling back rapidly under the over
whelming pressure of the German
armies. There was only one cause for
dissatisfaction at German -headquar-
ters-the delay which the little Bel
sian army had imposed during the
passage through Belgium, and the
to surrender, although his capital had
fallen and his army had been driven
into Antwerp.
It was under these circumstances
that the order was given to make the
first trial of Germany's great air
weapon. A Zeppelin was sent to make
a midnight raid on the city of Ant

structions to try for the royal palace.
for King Albert was felt to be the
soul of his peoples resistance.
Antwerp was a fortified city in the
technical sense of the term; but the
ring of forts was located far from the
parts inhabited by the civilian popu-
iation, and the main forts were at an
average distance of ten miles from
the center. But the Zeppelin did not
attack the forts. With its engines
stopped it drifted over the city and
discharged six bombs. all Of which fell
near the palace. An American Army
officer. who was in Antwerp at the
time, wrote the following account OF
the incident:
no bomb actually struck the palace,
but one narrowly missed the cath
edral. Three found human victims. One
killed four women and two policemen.
A second killed one man and wounded
two others. Another fell in the court
