INTERNATIONAL COMMERCE.
Figures for 1919 one-thrrd Greater
Than for 1918.

World international commerce ir
1918 was nearly or quite 100000, 0,000,-
900 in stated value compared with $40,-
OOo 100000 in 1913, and $4,000, ,000, ,00C
in 1900. Official figures of the 1915
trade Of 20 principal countries Of the
world are now available and upon these
and the partial figures for other coun-
tries The National City Bank Of New
York estimates that the valuation OF
the entire international commerce OF
the world in the calendar year 1915
will, when Official figures become avail
able, approximate and perhaps fully
equal $6O,OOO,OO0,OOO compared with
$50, 900, 100000 in 1917, $4,000, 900, 900 in
1916 and s4O,OO0,000.000 in 1913, the
year preceding the war.
Twenty Important Countries.
The 20 countries for which 1918 fig-
ures are now available are the most
important from the trade standpoint
of world nations. They include in
Europe, Great Britain, France, Italy,
Spain and Switzerland; in the Orient,
India and Malayan Peninsula, Siam,
Australia, New Zealand, the Philip
pines, and Japan; in Africa, Egypt, and
the Union of South Africa; in South
America, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and
Venezuela; in North America, Canada,
Cuba, Mexico, and the United States.
In a few instances, the figures for 1918
are based upon estimates for the
closing months Of the year, but in
practically all the important cases the
saguses are governmental and cover
the full year.
United States Highest.
Nearly one-half of this estimated
world total of 100000, 100000, said the
banks statement, was handled by the
United States, Great Britain, France,
Italy, Canada and Japan. The 1918
trade of the United States alone was
more than $4,000, 100000; that Of the
United Kingdom nearly $s,00O,0OO 900;
that of France nearly $4,000, 100000;
Italy, more than $4,000, 100000; Can
ada slightly more than $2,000,00O,0 900,
and Japan nearly $2,000,0e0,00o.
No figures are available as to the
total trade of the Central Powers in
1918, though official statements for
Austria Hungary for the calendar year
1917 are available, putting the grand
total, stated in her deprecated cur
rency apparently, at slightly more than
that of 1913 when the figures stood at
s1,15O, 900, 900 for imports and exports
combined.
No official figures have been pub
lished by the German government for
the total trade during the war or for
1918, though her imports were pre-
sumably only limited by the available
surplus of foodstuffs and manufactur-
ing material in the contiguous areas,
and this is also true of Turkey and
Belgium.

His students were partly radicals
and partly conservatives, and what
called forth the applause OF one set
was sure to cause the other to hiss and
to. shuff their feet SO that his class
room often was a veritabIe pandemo-
MUM. His attitde toward the German
government was alrays uncompromis-
ing and as a result NO student was al
lowed to take his doctorate under
him.. His academic liberty was. how
ever. not interfered with. Marburg
has long been noted for it's radicals
along certain lines.
Prof. Scheucking was not infallible.
He still thought In 1911 that Cuba was
under the political dominion Of the
United States. and oftern declared that
economic and financial relations OF
the different nations were such that a
world war in case 1t should come. could
not last more than three or four
months But those OF US who knew
him. respected his sincerity and integ-
rity as man and as teacher.
Just as the great world war was be
ginning in August. 1914. Prof.
Scheucking issued statement which
] still preserve. in which he said in ef-
feet that war had come and with II
what amounted to martial law. This
made it necessary for him and his
companions to keep silence The
German people and the foreign ma
tions. however. should remember that
German pacificism still existedand that
as soon as liberty OF expression was
permitted again they would be found
faithful to their old principles.
Just how far Prof. Scheucking is
representative Of the new German gov.
ernment. am not prepared to say. II
is possible that the old sinister inter
ests are using him and others like him
to get on easier in the treaty OF peace
than they could otherwise hope to and
that when he has served his purpose
he will be discarded But there can
be no doubt that Prof. Scheucking is
personally sincere and that he has
consistently fought and suffered for
the same ideals that the Allies have
poured out their blood and their treas
ure to uphold.
Prof Scheucking is tall and heavy.
set. clean sbaven and rather careless
of his personal appearance. He Is

as Schuecking.r he remarked. And
who is Schuecking?" asked. He ex-
planned that he was the one professor
at Marburg who was outspoken in his
pacifism. and in his opposition to the
militarist program of the imperial gov
ernment- As it was the beginning OF
the semester. looked up Prof
Scheucking's courses and picked out
a one-hour-aweek lecture on History
of the Theories in Regard 10 a League
of Nations to Prevent War"
This course was given in one of the
largest halls of the university. and
about $50 students were in attend
ance as a rue. The professor re-
viewed the theories of medieval &c
clesiastics and renaissance ideaiists,

cyclopediasts and German phiiosoph-
ers Especially Kant). Of modern So
ca'ists and Of those who had been in
strumental in calling the conferences
at The Hague. Throughout the course
he-was constantly casting insinuations
against Prussian bureaucracy. and
when he described The Hague confer
ence he severely criticized the German
government for having prevented any
real or permanent good being accom-
plished by them. He advocated wom-
ans suffrage. the rights Of labor. and
even went so far as TO assert that
there were not a few people in the
United States of America who lived
for far higher and nobler IDEAS than
that OF merely acquiring money.
