we beat her or not she beats us the consequence will be the same disaster to our oversea trade if Britain so wills it. We may, in the event of victory, impose all sorts of conditions securing us most-favored nation treatment, securing us free entry into British ports everywhere. No sane man believes that these con dtions will help us.
 With a hostile British Empire, galled and fretted with our military success, raging at it's losses, hope lessly alienated, how are we to pro cure the raw material which this Elm pire alone can supply. That great Empire is self-contained and we are not, and all the military victories and all the wild will-o'-the -wisps about Hamburg to Bagdad' will not help us"

Albert BaIIin Played Game for Germany but He Feared for the
 Result.
HE WRITES LETTE
Claimed That He Often Wondered Why Britain Gave Germany so
 Much LeeWay.

SYDNEY, Australia, Jan 5.-Al- bert Ballin, general director of the Hamburg American Steamship Com pany, who is reported to have com mtted suicide just before the sign ing of the armistice, had predicted disaster for the German overseas trade as an outcome of the war. This is disclosed by the publication here of letter which Herr Ballin had written in December, 1917, apparently to Dr. Botheneau, privy councillor at Berlin A copy of this letter was made public here by J. M. Paxton, resident of Sydney, who received it from a friend in London. In it Ballin declared that whether Ger many or England was victorious in the war the consequences to German foreign trade would be disastrous The letter reads in part:
 Most of what we read in the news papers as to our preparedness for |embarking on brisk trade and manu- liIluiCo oS oooii po pOQtC hdo DCCi concluded is, I fear, written with the manifestation of heartening our people who are notoriously ignorant of our actual economic conditions and all that threatens them"
 He said that the German mercan- tile marine was in "a perilous condi- tion," and that the bill ito re-estab fish and strengthen it, which at the time of writing was before the Reich stag. would show no results for al least five years. In that time Ger many's great maritime competitors Britain, and United States and Ja pan and the neutrals, Norway, Den mark and Holland would profit enor- mously.
 Ballin reminded his friend that he (Ballin vainly begged Berlin au- thorities not to engage in unrestrict ed submarine warfare; and he con tinued:
 "You and I know that the AYneri- cans are probably the most ideal istic Nation on the earth's surface. In antagonizing America we have done a disastrous thing, a thing which will throw cold shadow on orr economic life for generation" The latter part of Ballin's letter ran:
 But if l am concerned about our relations with the United States, I am still more anxious about our re- lations with Britain, I realize as never before that all the increase in our wealth, all the success which attended our enterprises in the year before the war, were owing to our intercourse with the British Empire. Her home ports. her dominions and colonies were freely opened to our shippers and traders. Sometimes I wondered at this generosity, and even called it folly Is 1t to be Imagined for moment that these old relations will return?
 q am not to be supposed, dear Geheimrat CPrivy Councilor) as say ing one word in favor of Britain policy in this war. believe that she entered it from some base mo. tives.
 Consider what we are risking. We look forward to resuming our sea trade. We build our proudest on this. How are we to. resume it in face of an Anglo Saxondom which loathes and must loathe our presence among them.
 But we must beat England, you say. no matter what the consequence, agree. All I say is that whether

Constitution Day Observed in City
Schools by Students and
Speakers in Theatres.

Constitution dsy was observed in
Rock Island yesterday, chiefly by
the schools, and in the evening at
the theatres. High school heard
several good talks in assembly,
and special ceremonies took place
at every grade school in the city
to commemorate the day upon
which the instrument forming the
basis Of our national government
officially came into being. Four
minute speakers at theatres of the
city addressed the crowds upon
the importance Of the event.
That the constitution is compe-
tent as a basis of government to-
day as well as in the initial years
of its career, formed the nucleus
Of the four-minute speeches. E. c.
Fisher, superintendent of Rock Is
fand schools speaking at the Spen-
Ger Square. voiced the general
point advanced by the speakers,
when he said that the constitution
was made to be both static and
elastic 1t is elastic in that it can
change with the times, through in
terpretatiOns and common usage.
1t is static If that it embodies the
eternal progressive attitude and
freedom of the American people,
placed there by the wisdom and
