in Italy It took a near Bolshevistic re-
volt Of the population to effect fall
In sthe price Of necessaries.
In Holland and Switzerland, as well
as in the Scandinavian countries, the
effect Of the cessation OF the restric-
tions on imports was counteracted by
the increase in exports to the Central
Powers. Alone in Germany was the
signing OF peace, followed by a gem
eral decrease in prices; the decrease
is noticeable in almost all instances,
considerable in some.
The Vossische Zeiiung, Of Berlin,
has, in the course Of July. published a
survey Of the cost ~ necessaries in
Germany as compared with prices pre-
vailing in other countries, A summary
of the rise OF living costs in Allied
countries, as compiled by the Statis-
tical Society OF Berne, was printed
showing that The general level OF
prices has advanced since July, 1914:
in Italy, 4Si per cent.
In France, 1863 per cent.
In England, 2i0 per ment
In Canada, 2i5 per cent.
In the United States, 2O9 per cent. a

tain Portugars dignity high among the
nations.
The Democratic party is credited with
the intention OF dssolving itself i'm
medately after the Presidential cleo
tion. That in itself might be no mis-
fortune, but it Is TO be feared that be-
meath this shunllng OF parties the
cardinal principle OF the republic win
remain unchanged-namely. that the
republic shall be represented by one
party only. which shall allow the ex-
istence Of other parties merely as de-
coys and never permit them TO obtain
power so long as they maintain their
independence or attempt to convert
their conservatism from an abstraction
into practice.
II that is so it wlll be very regret
table, because so long as there Is no
real opposition party and no real op-
position press opposition will inevitably
take the form OF conspiracy and revOlu-
tlon and we shall come back to the
old method Of violent changes OF gov
ernment every few months.
In the interest Of the republic the
party now in power should encourage
the formation Of strong conservative
party within the republic and not harp
on the absurd old theme That conserya-
tive republicans are royalists. The
tendency TO denounce' the opponents OF
a single party as traitors, royalists and
enemies Of Portugal has been and must
continue TO be a fatal obstacle-to the
consolidation Of the republic. Nor viii
it mend matters II that single party
changes its name.
The<Democratic party by any other
name will excite as much opposition II
Il retains IT'S spirit Of exclusiveness and
intolerance. On the other hand, If two
great parties, the radical Republican
and the conservative Republican, be
constituted, and successive governments
continue TO act with moderation and
with vigor in maintaining order, the
republic need entertain no great fears
as TO the future.

American aid to the extent of 10 cents
a day under its plan of securing Amer
lean godmothers for the little French

American godmothers came too late to
save these undernourished nerve
shocked little ones.
