 Only two name are on the ticket Allan F. Vincent for mayor; Moses w. Nanwaring for treasurer The other places are left blank until it can be ascertained that a fusion ticket is possible.
 The Independents will ask the Dem ocratic Town and City Convention to endorse their ticket and nominate for the vacant places.
 It was stated today by one of the leading interests in the movement that Lawrence T. Gallagher will be nominated on the independent ticket for city clerk.

Americas Tin INDUSTRY.

While the United States has at
tanned commanding position in the
tin plate export trade, 1t by no means
equals that which Englard had before
the war, Data show that while our
exports Of tin plate have grown from
$500 tons in 1913 to more than 233,-
600 tons in 1917, they oven now are
less than 80 per cent of Englands be-
fore the war, and only 30 per cent
more than that country's present ex-
ports.
VIII this country ever have q tin in

ing industry is still in the childhood
stage. Ore supplies in Bolivia. in

doing business. Only the future can
tell whether any relief is possible from

For a week l Travelled the British

with mingled group of field and in
telllgence officers, Belgian on liaison

The talk, which was chiefly upon spe-
claltieS beyond the range of war, made
one fact evident-the world of civilian
life was more interesting than ever
before to these men. They were pas

GERMANY WITHOUT A FRIEND
Nation Stands Alone in the World,
Seemingly With No One to Mourn
for Her.

One cannot help wondering what
could have been the emotions of the
German agents in Spain when they
read the dispatch sent by King Alton
so to President Poincare. Those
agents have worked hard through all
these years Of the war and spent money
lavishly to make and keep Spain the
friend Of Germany. They can claim
with some show of truth to have kept
her neutral, but now, In the day Of
GermanY'S humiliation, she gets no
sympathy from the Spanish king. In
stead, he telegraphs to the French
president enthusiastic congratulations
on the victory of the allies, and calls
the result achieved the reaching of
"the end Of this glorious epic of the
French army and nation, which have
shown us ALL" he adds, "what bravery
and patriotism mean"
Alfonso says us ALL" and no Span
lard protests, so they must join not
only in the kings felictation Of Ger
manys enemy but also in the implied
denial that Germany has shown any
body what bravery and patriotism
mean.
Another failure, therefore, must be
scored against German diplomacy and
propaganda. Is it the hundredth or
the thousandth?-New York Times.

NJ. Paquin started life as bank
