Admitting Defeat

Germany is now preparing her
people for a fifth winter of war. In
a speech before the Wuerttemberg
diet one of the leaders of the pro.
gressive party declared a fifth
winter of war was now inevitable.
Germans must make their minds
to face disappointment instead of
obtaining the victory hoped for
during the summer, he said
This is heartening news for
America and the allied nations If
Germany has given up hope of
winning a decisive victory this
summer she is done for
With two million American fight
ers on the west front by spring Of
next year the kaiser will face in
dubitable defeat. If the German
offensive of the present summer
tails kaiserism is doomed. The
fifth winter of war in Germany will
speed this happy development if
the people of Germany accept Herr
Hausmann's advice and make up
their own minds. To date their
minds have been made up quiet
largely by the exponent of German
kultur. The discomfort of a winter
which looks toward nothing but the
military reverse which are sure to
come with full Pledged American
participation in battle, will do much

does not lose million hogs, old and

BUSINE Sc WORLD
VIE US FUTURE
AS UNCERTAIN
Nature and Volume for Next
Six Months Bring Varied
Forecasts.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 30.-The
dominant note in the story of gen
eral conditions today is the calm
and collected manner in which the
business world views the uncertain
future which lies ahead, said a re-
port on general business conditions,
made by the United States chamber
OF commences committee on statis-
tics and standards. The report was
made public tonight.
There are all sorts Of forecasts
as TO the nature and volume of bust
ness during the next six months
said the report. But this seems 20
be the most popular prOphesy: A
period of intermediate length work
ing itself out of a commonsense and
forethought TO a far better era and
greater prosperity than ever has
been our portion in the past"
The report says that there is q
widespread feeling that there must
be such readjustments Of prices as
will bring them TO a lower level,
assuring sterilization Of prices and
purchasing and adds:
THE general desire is not for
radical reductions, but rather for
such gradual declines as conditions
may warrant. Co-mingled with this
is the knowledge that the wages
and salaries have much TO do with
the cost Of commodities today and
nothing is further from the general
thought than there should be sub
stantial reductions in the income
and purchasing power of the many.
but rather that a re-alignment OF
this nature should assume the form
of readjustment in the line OF such
wages and salaries as are not war
ranted under the changed cOndi-
tions."

When the Doctors Despaired.

There have been recorded during the
war many being cured by accidental
means, such as a sudden noise or an
unexpected visitor, or as startling
question, and in one case at least
midnight fall out of bed. But one Of
the strangest cases belongs to for
mer war, observes a correspondent
where a soldier lay Is months under
the influence Of catalepsy. Finally, in
despair, the doctors ordered the bag
pipes to be played near the patients
bed. That did the trick.
There is a story told of a skipper
who had a medicine-chest containing
cures numbered one to seven. For dys-
pepsia he administered a stiff dose of
No. Z. For sprains, No. 2 was the bot
tie, and for rheumatism, No. 5 seemed
to work the oracle. But on lengthy
voyage the skipper ran out of No. z,
so when next a member of the crew
had pain in his middle he dosed him
with mixture of 2 plus 5. Nobody
had another pain during that voyage,
or, at any rate, confessed to having
one.

South African Shoe Trade.

Cape Province has numerous firms
which manufacture boots and shoes.
Many of these are engaged i'll the pro
duction of high-class footwear though,
us a rule, the better class of footwear
that is popular in this country, is OBJ
tanned from overseas, writes Consul
General George II. Murphy, Cape Town.
The foreign producer, with his highly
specialized factories, is able, with the
aid of the importing merchant, to flood
the market here with enormous guam
titles of boots and shoes, either made
for the South African trade, or form
ing a part of his surplus output. The
result is that the South African pro
Queer is unable TO command a sufii-
cient market to warrant extensions of
his plant to meet large calls which
may be made by the wholesaler. He
must content himself with producing
high-grade footwear in small quaint
ties for the retailer.
Large quantities of boots and shoes
are being received from the United
States. partly as result of the i'm
possibility Of obtaining adequate sup
plies elsewhere.
