GERMANS WILL
 CEASE MAKING
 TRASHY GOODS

COBLENZ, Aug. g Correspondence of Associated Press) German man. ufacturers are planning to rehabili- tate their world trade by "a new pol icy" according to a writer in the Deutscher Handel Warte of Nurem- berg. It contemplates nothing less, he says, than abandonment of the flooding of foreign countries with trashy goods"
 Admitting that the outlook for Ger man exports is Unfortunate" in view of the progress in manufacturing made by Japan, America, England and other countries, the belief is eX- pressed that those nations are so busy trying to increase their indus trial production that they are becom- ing lax in the matters of beauty, quail ity and price.
 America seeks to drive Germany from the world markets" says the article. ''The entente concerns it. self also with working against our exports in neutral countries Yet all this can not scare us. It is thereby made clear what bOundless esteem eX- ists for German manufacturers in enemy countries. The goods which are best, most beautiful and cheapest will find their way into other lands.
 "Through improvement of our scientific methods our government must promote German export busi- ness. The means are already at hand We possess research insti- tutes for coal, iron, leather, textiles and food chemistry. We must step farther along this road. Besides, professional schools are to be i'm proved in order to raise the general level of labor. Technique and science must work together to save the raw material
 "Already foreign firms are seeking German goods. In Berlin German American merchandise exchange has been organized. A number of Amer ican chambers of commerce have raised the demand to renew business with Germany as soon as possible. It is known that in South America there is also lively need for German wares. The sharp competition which is al ready apparent between England and America will be profitable for our exports. The ten-year-Iong relations of our merchants with other coun- tries can build the bridge for our export trade.
 "The earlier flooding of foreign countries with trashy goods will cease We shall lay emphasis on goods of quality, for only the best value products will henceforth gain entrance to the worlds markets. If peace and order can be restored in l the fatherland, then we need not be uneasy about the outlook for the future"

ing partisanship and selfish desire for advantage and power.
 It is highly probable that some thing in the nature of reservations and interpretations will be attached to the treaty by the United States senate. But it is unthinkable that the extremists should so far mutilate the document that reference back to the peace conference should be neces- sary. Such a course would mean that Germany would be the beneficiary.

If the Irish people should cause the fall of the Lloyd George ministry it would not be the first time a British cabinet had been wrecked on the rock of Irish nationalism. Nor probably the last.

WANT TO BUY
ARMY FOOD
POST OFFICE CROWDED WITH
MANY APPLICANTS FOR pos
TAI FOOD SALE

All day yesterday the force at the
post office was kept busy answering
questions about the government food
list and anxious matrons from the
city and surrounding districts came
in to make arrangements for stock
ing up the family larder in case OF
local scarcity of supplies.
Postmaster Leavy said yesterday
that he did not think the rush was
as large as he expected, but felt that
today his force would have all they
could handle. Louis j Leavy the post
master, and R. G. Harley, the assist.
ant postmaster. were both working
over the schedules with customers air
day.
They report that the smallest lrdel
was a little colored girl who ordered
a ten cents package of crackers. Right
here is the necessity of getting to-
gether orders of enough of one kind
to make the commodities up in case
lots. In this manner the shipments can
be expedited. In fact the post office
on this sale cannot handle goods in
less than case lots. The list of all the
commodities is posted in the lobby of
the post office, near the general de-
livery window where it is in plain
sight.
Postmaster Leavy said yesterday
he would have been better satisfied if
500 of the price lists had been sent
him for distribution as ..ioA
have sent them out to hepublic. He
only has three OF then on hand AMI
one is in the lobby.

500 DOGS TO
PAY LICENSE
CHIEF OF POLICE REGISTER SAYS
he is GOING TO INCREASE
REVENUE AT ONCE

The local police are working out
the collection Of street and dog taxes
together, according to Chief of Police
j. E. Register yesterday, At the last
session OF the police court ten delin-
quents in the street tax were fined $5
apiece,
The chief says any one who is on
the delinquent list since July Is is
liable to summons to the court and
to fine also. At the present in serv
ing notices for the street tax the po-
licemen are serving notice for non-
payment of dog tax,
There are fifteen hundred street tax
cases still unpaid and the chief esti-
mates that at the very least there are
five hundred dog licenses that are due
and unpaid. He thinks he can see
five hundred dogs every time he goes
down to the post office.
On account of Sc many persons
working at the Atlantic Oil Refinery
it is rather difficult to secure service
on the notices.

SILVER MOON CAFE IN
G:a BANKRUPTCY COURT

A voluntary petition in bankruptcy
was filed with the clerk of the United
States court in Savannah yesterday
by Matthew Couvelas and George
Tampas. of Brunswick, trading as the
Silver Moon cafe.
The amount of the assets aggre-
gate $11,000 while the liabilities are
listed at $S,422 in the schedule which
includes number of lccal as well as
foreign creditors.
The Silver Moon opened for bust
ness several months ago and for a
time did flourishing business, but
coupled with the high cost of food
stuffs and the partial suspension Of
the shipyards the cafe has been a
losing proposition according to the
proprietors.
The fixtures, which are modern and
attractive constitute the greater part
of the amount named in the assets.
The matter will take it's regular
course through the local bankruptcy
court.
