iBRITONS PLAN
BIG TRADE WAR
Appropriation Made for Prelim-
mary Expense of Department

London. April 4.-(Correspondence
Of the Associated Press THE British
Empires plans for the trade war that
most people believe will follow the
present war are gradually taking def
mite form A feature of it's prepare
lions is the creation of the Overseas
Trade Department under which six.
teen trade commissions will work in
the various countries Of the Empire
and a number Of commercial attaches
will work in foreign countries. The
House of Commons has just made
an appropriation of $4,000 for pre-
liminary expense of the department
This department which has beer
quietly reconstructing the whole gov
eminent commercial business thru
out the world is in charge of Sir A. D
Steel Maitland, social and consti
tutional reform advocate of Birming
ham.
The new organization is controlled
by a joint committee of the Foreign
Office, which corresponds to the An.
erican State Department, and the
Board of Trade which has much the
same functions as the American De
partment of Commerce. The reasons
for Joint control by these particular
departments is that in foreign coun
tries trade questions and political is
sues are often interviewer.
The commercial attaches will su
pervise and link up the work of a re
formed consular service and suppl
important reports embodyingg trad
and financial surveys of the countrie
in which they are situated.
The pay of the trade commission
ers in the countries of the Empire
will be as follows: First grade. 100
pounds to 1000 pounds a year: sec
ond grade. 1CO pounds to 900 pound:
a year: third grade, 500 pounds to 70'
pounds year.
OF the sixteen whom it is proposet
to appoint, there will be five each i,
the first and second grades and si!
in the third grade
The salaries OF the commercial
attache will be first grade 1906
pounds year; second grade, 1,1Of
pounds a year; third grade, SOC
pounds year: fourth grade, coo
pounds a year
Additional allowances for special
expenses will be made. 1t is also
proposed to promote men from the
fourth grade to the other grades. Ont
feature Of the whole scheme is--tt

FARMERS AND SHIPS

Two things which do not APP
pear to have very much to do
with each other. And yet they
have.
1t is not sufficient merely to
produce goods, they must be
marketed, and ships are neces-
sary to the farmer unless he
wishes to be cut off from the
best of all markets of the world
Europe.
Just as an automobile is a
good thing for hauling produce
to nearby towns and freight
cars are necessary to haul the
produce to the great grain CEN
ters, so ships are necessary
to market the produce of the
farmers.
We have been losing ships in
great numbers, and so have our
Allies. These must be replaced.
The farmer knows what would
happen if the freight cars on
the railroads were burned up
he would be cut off from the
market, Ships are just as i'm
pCrtsnt and necessary as freight
cara.
Seve.a! Million Dollars of the
amount subscribed to the Lib
erty Loan Is being used by The
United States Government to
provide a fleet Of freight ves-
selS to maintain our trade with
Europe. It follows that in
sub cribing to the Liberty Loan,
the farmer Is putting money
into his own business, with I'm
Gle Sam az a partner, with a
certain knowledge that he will
receive 4 per cent interest ON
his money, and that his princl-
pal will be used for his own
trade convenience and expan-
sion. Was there ever a clearer
case Of an investment profitable
in two distinct WAYS?
The German Government have
realized the necessity Of pro-
iding a merchant feet and re-
Gently have set aside Thirty
five Million Dollars for the
building Of ships, which are to
be delivered as soon as possible
after Peace is declared. Let US
ut least be as wise as the Ger
mans,
To every farmer there will
be offered during the next few
months this sensible business
like proposition to take Uncle
Sam into partnerhip In his bus
mess. Be ready to invest in
Liberty Bonds when the time
comes.

over THE TOP, FARMERSl
OVER THE TOPl

This war cannot be won with
out the aid OF the Farmers.
Why?
Because they represent about
80 per cent of the population of
the Eleventh Federal Reserve
District, in which we live, and
1t is impossible for the other
20 per cent Of the people to
carry the financial burden.
The farmer in this section
who has done reasonably we'll
last season has indeed a double
duty to perform. He has to
do his full share towards pro-
tecting his business, his home,
and his Country, and he has, as
a generous open-hearted, broad
minded SOutherner to help
make up for the probable lack
of over-subscription in the
drouth-stricken Counties Of
West and South Texas.
The people of the West and
South of Texas win do their
share-of that there Is no ques-
ton. They will raise their as
signed portion of the Loan, be-
cause it is their duty, but we
cannot hope for a large over
subscription from them.
An over-subscription from the
Eleventh Federal District is
called for. On the occasion of
the Second Liberty Loan we
raised but a little more than We
were forced to. Other Dis
tricts raised Is per cent and so
per cent more than the Govern
ment demanded of them. Such
a grudging response Is unwor-
thy Of us and we must improve
upon it. Shall it be said that
we men who live upon the rich
soil of Louisiana, who inhabit
the great producing State of
Texas, the progressive State of
New Mexico, who wrest the
wealth from the ground of An-
iona, or who have opened up
the great possibilities of Okla
homa, possess less patriotism
than our neighbors? It is un-
thinkable!
We have big task ahead,
but we will meet it. Let us plan,
and look ahead, and let us start
doing it right now, in order
that this great old South West
may shine as a bright star in
the armament of patriotism
when our Country calls.

MADE IMMORTAL BY GOETHE
GeIpzio Tavern In Which Poet Located
Scene In Faust" Was Well
Known Gathering Place.

Auerbach's cellar was a tavern at
Leipzig which disappeared in 1912. 1t
owed its chief fame to Goethe, who In
this place located the scene in Faust"
wherein Mephistopheles, standing up
on q wine cask, takes his flight into
SPACE with Doctor Faust. to the stupe-
faction of the guests drinking at the
tables. The old building to which the
cellar belonged was built by Doctor
Stromer d'Auerbach at about 1929, the
worthy doctor there storing the wine
intended for his own use. Later, as
the wine was good, he conceived the
idea of selling It. In this waf was es-
tablished the tavern to which his
name has been attached ever since.
From the earliest years Of the seven
teenth century legend has placed In
this cellar the famous adventure OF
Faust and MephistOpheles. Goethe
studying at Leipzig university from
1765 to 176S, frequented that cellar nj
most nightly and there talked with
his friends of art, literature and pol
ftics. and thus he heard of that le
gend which he turned to such excellent
account. at the same time so very
greatly enriching the literature OF his
country.

.FOCH PREPARING
FOR EMERGENCIES
HAS PLACED IMPENET
BARRIER BETWEEN HUNS AND
PARIS-MANY TRENCHES.

Washington. - The allied COM
mand has profited by the costly mis-
takes of the British.
Gen. Foch, generalissimo OF the al
lied armies, is taking nothing tor
granted as to the ability Of the Fran
o-British-American line to hold. The
crumpling up Of the British fifth army
which at the outset Of the German Of
fensive guarded the gateway to the
plains of Picardy, carried its lesson
home.
While the people of two continents
have been specializing anxiously as
to the whereabouts of Foch and the
interallied army of maneuver, it was
learned authoritatively that Foch has
not been idle.
Twenty-seven lines of trenches. 1t
was disclosed, have been constructed
recently between the battle front III
Flanders and the city of Paris.
Foch, it was stated, determined, de-
spite the Impotence of onlookers, 10
attempt nothing in the way of coun-
ter offensive until assured beyond
doubt that there existed between the
enemy and Paris an impenetrable
line of defenses, every attack against
which would take from the Prus-
slams a frightful toll in blood.
Within the past "a hours it is 1nd1-
Gated in high quarters the character
of resistance being offered the enemy
around Ypres and other sections u
the line gives reason to believe that
the Germans are beginning to blunt
their swords on Foch's defenses.
Meanwhile American experts, con-
fident that the crisis in the fighting
has been reached, express the bellel
that the fighting of the next As hours
will probably determine the fate d
Foch as supreme commander and 9th
err high commanders on the western
| front.

NAV BE New Source of Oil.

A preliminary inquiry into the posi-
bility of the commercial utilization OF
the seed of the rubber tree for Oil pro
duction has been undertaken by the
agricultural authorities in the FEEDER
ated Malay states. From time to time
suggestions have been made for the
utilization for this purpose of the seeds
of the cultivated Para rubber tree, as
large quantities Of the seed go to waste
ON the rubber plantations of the mid
die East. Experiments have proved
according to a British government re
mort. that not only Is the oil extractee
From the seed suitable for various
Durposes, but that the residue can be
nsed for cattle food or as fertilizer.
