TRADE MARK IS OFFENSIVE
From Germany Americans Want Moth

BY FREDERIC J. HASkIN,
In Chicago Daily News.

Washington, d. C.-For the first
time in over so years, American stores
are practically emptied of German
toys. Only few bisque dolls re-
main, and in most cases these have
been carefully packed away until some
distant day when American toy buy
ers shall have become reconciled to
the trade mark made in Germany"
Today this trade mark is not only
unpopular-it is offensive. Americans
will still buy Turkish rugs, Austrian
musical comedies and Bulgarian color
combinations, but from Germany they
want nothing but souvenirs OF victory.

We hear much about the necessity of

that the war Is over, but few people
know that before the war our impo-ta

that Of dyes. The figures show that
$9,OS4OOO worth Of toys were import

many showed such n startling increase
that 1t Ia now believed German dive
and toy agents in this country were

U. s. Toy Business Now Is Vast.
The only difference In the histories
OF these two industries Is that toys al-
ways had been made to n limited ex-
tent in the United States. whereas
dyes-at least coal tar dyes-had not
been made here at all. In 1913 there
were already II toy establishments,

There Is no doubt ut present that the

lean toymakers have not yet learned
to make bisque dolls or Christmas tree

year, when suddenly cargo Of Ger.
man toys arrived in the port Of New

An earthquake could not have
caused greater CONSERVATION In the
American toy industry. Immediately
the press took up the matter with the
free use of bitter invective and the
vice president of one of the firms to
whom the toys were consigned ISSUED
the following statement: 1--WE have

matter with me in London just after
it occurred said few destroyerS could
have stood the strain. He could only
account for her standing the pounding

fact that her hull was cold riveted

And skulks i'm the realm of despair.

Whose forces no foe can turn back;
| Can't flies the flag of disaster
And surrenders at every attack

Who falters and lags in distress.

Butter-The market continues UNI

are up 2 or cents on full creams.
However, there is still low price

NATIONAL ISSUES IN
STATE CAMpAI
Republican Chairman Sounds the
Slogan of Back to the
Republicw

Trenton.-Erom his utterances since
he took Office it is evident that former
Governor Edward c. Stokes. the new
chairman of the Republican State
Committee, is impressed with the i'm
portance of national issues in the New
Jersey state campaign this year, Ma
tional issues were the principal theme
of his address to the committee when
he assumed the craftsmanship, and in
speeches since that time he has dwelt
upon them almost exclusively.
"a party with a program" was the
keynote of his address to the commit
tee The program he referred to was
national program. He believes that
this program, whatever it may be,
should be exploited as the keynote of
the campaign in New Jersey. At the
same time he recognizes the fact that
there are many important issues which
are largely confined to the political and
governmental activities of the state.
In one of his more recent addresses
Mr.. Stokes sounds the slogan, Back
to the Republic" meaning thereby that
the country should return to the good
old policy of rule by the people instead
of permitting one man or a cOterie of
men to dictate its policies and com
mandeer its activities in peace time
as well as in time of war. The speech
contains some striking sentences.
War Powers, Not Peace Powers.
Tremendous powers" says the state
chairman, have been vested in the adj
ministraticn, greater than ever vested
in any autocrat or king. They We're
granted, however, as war measures and
not as a part of the permanent policy
of the country"
And again:
"Those powers taken from the peo-
pie should be restored to their rightful
owners as soon as practicable"
This thought he hammers home in
this wise:
ore of the chief factors in the work
-. reconstruction is the re-establsh-
ment of our government on the basic,
constitute onal principles of our fathers
and program back to the republic
where the power was vested in the DeO-
pie and not in bureaucratic commits
SionS."
The keynote of the Republican cam
paign in New Jersey will be sounded
in platform to be adopted at the con-
vention of the State League of Repub-
lican Clubs at Trenton early in June,
and there Is no doubt the able state
chairman Of the party will have hand
