SIDNEY, Australia, Dec. 80.
Albert Ballin, general director of
the Hamburg-American Steamship
company, who is reported to have
committed suicide just before the
81, ming of the armistice, had pre-
dicted disaster for the German
overseas trade as an outcome of
the war.
This is disclosed by the publ
cation here of a letter which Herr
BALM had written in December,
1917, apparently to DR.. Rothenau,
a privy councillor at Berlin. A
COPY of this letter was made pub
lie here by ]. M. Paxton, a resi-
dent of Sydney, who received IL
from a friend in London.
In it BALM declared that wheth-
er Germany or England was vic
torious in the war the consequence.
es to German foreign trade would
be disastrous. The letter reads
in part:
"Most of what we read in the
newspapers as to our prepared
ness for embarking on brisk trade
and manufactures as soon as peace
has been concluded is, I fear, writ
ten with the manifest intention Of
heartening u people who are no.
toriously ignorant of our actua'
economic conditions and all thai
threatens them"
He said that the German mer
camille marine was in "a perilou:
condition." and that the bill to re
establish and strengthen it. which
at the time of writing was before
the reichstag, would show no re
suits for at least five years. IL
that time Germany's great mari
time competitors, Britain, the Unit
ed States and japan and the neu
trails, Norway, Denmark and Hol
land, would profit enormously.

U. s. REFUSES TO ACT
IN L. v. & r. MATTER

Reno Gazette: Relief from the
government to prevent the aban-
donment and scrapping of the Las
Vegas & Tonopah railroad tracks
and property, connecting Goldfield
with Las Vegas, has been refused.
For the last several months the
state railroad commisson, through
J. F. Shoughnessy, first associate
commissioner, has been endeavor-
ing to secure some relief from the
federal railroad administration,
sending numerous letters to John
Barton Payne, general counsel for
the administrator, to take such
steps as would permit the Salt
Lake system to operate the road
under a lease contract. A letter
received this week by Commission
er Shaughnessy from Payne con-
tain's the governments final re-
fusal to act in the matter.

TOURISTS TRAVEL tt
NATIONAL PARKS
NEAR ORMAL
DURING 1918

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 3d.
In spite of war and enforced re-
strictions on travel during the
1918 tourist season the number Of
visitors to Americas national parks
was 35 per cent of the total of
1917.
Stephen T. Mather, superintend-
emit of the national park service
established a year ago, has report
ed to Secretary Lane that visitors
this year numbered 454,841,
against 490,705 in 1917. For
1919, the director anticipates that
the new privileges and the releas-
ed restrictions will lead to i'm
mense increases.
Director Mather urges that the
Grand canyon of the Colorado be
added to the list of national parks,
and that steps be taken to acquire
for the United States the Nam
moth cave, in Kentucky, the sand
dune area in Indiana and the gi-
| gantic tree areas in California.
Total appropriations for parks
carried for the year beginning
June 80, 1918, were $1,012, 900.
Mr.. Mather reports, while the rev.
enues from the parks in the year
ending the same date were $217,-
los, as compared with 1851 in
the previous year.
Pointing out that a large num-
Der Of gifts of lands and rights OF
way have been made to the park
systems and are likely to be made
oftener in the future, the report
suggests that permanent legisla
ton be enacted to allow the secre'
tary Of the interior to accept
these and to accept money gifts.
An early fixing of tourist rates
on railroads is also asked, that the
travel to the parks and theil
management policy may be facili
tated during coming years.

Balm reminded his friend that
he (Ballin) vainly begged Berlin
authorities not to engage in unre-
stricted submarine warfare, and he
continued:
"You and l know that the
Americans are probably the most
idealistic nation On the earth's
surface. In antagonizing America
we have done a disastrous thing
a thing which will throw a cold
shadow on our economic life for q
generation" The latter part OF
Ballin's letter said:
"But IL 1 am concerned about
our relations with the United
States, 1 am still more anxious
about our relations with Britain
I realize as never before that al

MONTANA BRtWERlES

FOR DROUGHT DAYS

HELENA, Mont, Dec. 20.
With the cessation of brewing, as
a result of prohibition in TINS
state, many valuable properties
will be reconstructed or reorgan-
lied, ONE of which will enter INTO
the manufacture of products w1oe-
Nv differing from that turned out
in the past. Such, for instance
is the possibility of one or more
Of the plants being converted INTO
manufactures for the ~production
of potato flour, a transition from
a wet to a dry product. others
contemplate continuing with wei
goods, but in the form OF non
malt or non-alcoholic beverages.
Among the 20 Montana owe
les put out of business permanent
ly was one that was established a
Virginia City in 1858, the year
that gold was discovered here.
This brewery is said to be the
Oldest business establishment III
what is now the state of Montana.
The 20 breweries have invested
a CAPITAL of s3,172,233, and their
yearly production was 4Zo'lfz
barrels. They employed a total
of 257 skilled and SO unskilled
men, and used 22.166 horse power.
The second oldest brewery In
Montana is the Kessler establish
ment at Helena that started In
1865. The third Oldest was start
ed in Butte in 1875. n re-
naming breweries we're all estab-
iished since 1890.
The most extensive plant in the
state is the malt brewery at Man
haitian with $5S2,1O0 invested and
a production of 100000 pounds
, of malt a year.
There are three breweries at
Butte, two at Great Falls, one each

LEADER WANTS DOORS
Of NATIONS OPEN
FOR JAPANESE

TOXIC, Dec. 81. = Japan's at
titude at the peace conference
should be one of d~isinterested-
ness as far as territorial gain is
concerned, in the opinion of T.
Inukai, the leader of the Koku-
mimic political party. The states
man said the other day that ia
pans actions hitherto have been
liable to misunderstanding as pos
sibly actuated by territorial am
bition, and Japan should seize the
first opportunity to disabuse the
world of any misapprehension.
At the same time Mr.. Imuai
thought it desirable that the Unit
ed States and other countries should
freely open their doors for the ad-
mission of aliens, thus bringing up
again a question which in the
past has caused considerable ne
gotiations between the United
States and Japan.
With the worlds tendency to-
ward forming republics it would
be necessary, he said, for the JAP
anese to carefully ponder over the
future of their own country. ia
pan could prohibit the import of
foreign books, but she could not
prevent the influx of foreign ideas,
dangerous or otherwise.
