Of sewing machines and parts, our own figures of exports to Great Britain show an annual over- age of $2,592, 900 per annum, while the British figures of imports of sew ing machines from the United States show an annual average of S1,394,- 900. Of "apparel' our own figures, if we include everything which could bo properly classified under that general title, would show an annual average of $1,54O, ,00O. while the British figures of imports of apparel from the Unit ed States show an annual average of but $715,OOO.
 The total of all of our reported eX- ports of the prohibited articles to Great Britain during the three fiscal years immediately preceding the war formed, as above indicated, less than 1 per cent. of our total exports and of little over per cent. of our exports to Great Britain, while the British fig ures of imports from the United States of the articles included in the prohibited list formed but about one- half of one per cent. of her total i'm ports and about per cent of her inn ports from the United States.
New Britain herald., 1919-02-12

some cases merchandise from the United States consigned to Great Britain may have passed on to some of it's colonies without being unloaded in Great Britain; also by the further fact that the British figures of inn ports omit to show the mere handlse imported for the government, while United States Consignments to that country would show all merchandise including that intended for the gov crnment. Still another cause for the discrepancy between the United States figures and those of Great Britain lies in the fact that the years covered by the two official reports diff fer, that of the United States being the fiscal year ending June 30, and that of Great Britain the calendar year ending December 31.
 A still further cause for the dis crepancy lies in the fact that many of the 50 articles named in the prohibit ed list are of such small importance that neither of the governments in question mentions them in it's official list of exports to the various countries of the world, or imports from the various countries of the world, in cluding whatever small values there may be in the ulinformative grouping all other" countries or articles.
 Mouth organs" for instance, which were mentioned in the British list of prohibited articles, are not shown in either the export figures nf the United States or the import fig ures of Great Britain, neither are mops, slide rules for engineers stereoscopes, speCtaclcs and glasses wringers and mangles, vacuum clean H. CTS, mats, baths of metal or fatty acids. Certain articles mentioned by the United States as exported to Great Britain are not shown by the British figures as imported from the United States, being presumably in cluded under the general heading of "all other articles or "all other coun- tries" Of the 50 articles included in the British prohibited list, only about 25 are considered of sufficient import- ance to be included by the United States in it's liat of articles exported while only about 20 are named bv inc British government in their list of artices exported. In most of the art1- tidles in which the movement by countries is shown, the figures of Great Britain are slightly less than those of the United States, due nre- sumably to causes above explained

BRITISH LIST OF
 PROHIBITED GOODS
Its Relation to ]. s. Exports to
 Great Britain Explained

Exports from the United States to Great Britain of the 50 articles named in it's recent British prohibition order averaged in the years immediately preceding the war less than 1 per cent. of our total exports and about one-half of one per cent. of the total British imports in the same period. A Bank of New York shows, from the official publication of the two gov ernments. the value of every one of the prohibited articles which the re- spective governments considered of sufficient importance to mention in their officially published trade reports in each of the three years immediate lv preceding the war. The figures of the United States cover the fiscal years 1912-13-14, those of Great Brit ain the calendar years 1911-12-13. The officially published records of the respective governments show exporta- lion from the United States to Great Britain of less than $20,0O0, 900 worth nor. wear of the various articles named m +he British prohibited list during Tho fiscal years 1912-13-14, while the British figures of importation from The United States show only about s13.O00, 900 worth of the articles named as the annual average of the calendar years 1911-12-13.
 This apparent discrepancy between ,bo ITaited States figures of our eX- norts to Great Britain and the British figures of imports from the United states, of the articles in question, is ac accounted for in part by the fact that t1e British schedule of imports from tle limited States fails to include cer- tain minor articles which are enumer- s+ed by the United States as exported Io Great Britain; also by the fact that Inc British figures of imports only m rlude the articles actually unloadeo from the importing ship Whlie III

Nothing can be more cOnsOling than
the thought that the loving Jesus is
still accessible to the cry of suffering
humanity, and the burdens of life are
relieved of much of their weight when
the weary and oppressed al realize
that He, with others of the heavenly
host, are in sympathy with them,
The Bible bears witness to this cheer
ing and beautiful truth. The influence
that a firm belief in a experimenting
Providence exercises over the minds
of all who possess this faith, is meal
culable, and what is spirit protection
and guidance but one of the methods,
and the principal method, by which
God in His beneficence and love sees
fit to respond to this faith.
This disposition to rely on a power
above is deeply implanted in the soul
of every man, and in times of peril
and distress it is manifested, even in
those who in their pride of heart, vain
ly attempt to deceive themselves with
shallow and false ideas of self-depen-
dence.

lar overpowering temptations which
beset some unfortunate people, the in

query, lying, fraud, coarseness, vice
in many forms, besides toward open
offences against the law; the few re-
straining influences in social opinion,
good example, or inherited self-control,
the forces without. and the ~organiza-
lions within, impelling to crime, and
then see how immensely powerful, the
belief in, and. love for a supernatural
and noble friend is, upon such natures;
how it inspires to nobleness, restraints
low passions, changes bad habits, and
transforms base hearts; how the
thoughts of this supernatural friend
can accompany a child of the street,
and make his daily hard life an offer
ing of loving service; how the unseen
sympathy can dry the orphans tear,
and throw a light of c~heerfulness ar
ound the van pale face of the little
vagrant, and bring down something of
the splendor of heaven to the dark eel

whoever has had this experience, not
once, but many times, will begin to

the spirits of their parents are watch

and rendered unhappy by their bad;
that the same love and affection ever

they would be benefited by the belief;
hat additional safeguards would be
furnished against c~riminality, and ad-
ditional incentives to virtue implanted
within them?
Few of them are so depraved and

NEW. YORKER
Captain Beardsley Gained Nickname
in France and was Given
Croix de Guerre by
Petain.
fBy United Press.1

PARIS. (By mail)-The services
that the average New Yorker" over
the military age, rendered at the
front in France, have been recognized
by the French army in the award.
announced today, of the crofx de
guerre to Sterling S. Beardsley. a
New York cotton broker. Beardsley
iserved for nine months with the
American Red Cross as canteen
worker in the fighting zone. Mar
shall Petain was the signer of his
citation.
Captain Beardsley gained the nick
name of 1.-THE Average New Yorker
in the press dispatches. The idea
conveyed was that Beardsley's situa-
ton in life at the time America
entered the war was about the aver
ness men. He was broker, over
AZ, had been twice refused by the
army, had wife and two children.
He bought Liberty bonds, contrib
uted to the welfare organizations and
Joined in various win the war" &C
tivities.
But somehow this work did not
suffice him and SO he obtained COM
mission with the Red Cross. He
sailed for France in January, 1918.
Two months later he was in the
midst of the biggest offensive the
German armies had ever attempted
the Somme drive of March, 1918.
Beardsley had never made a cup
of chocolate or performed any
kitchen labor in his life. But the
night he reached the front on top
Of rolling soup kitchen he started
to scour pots and pans. He explain
ed that he "just figured out" that
they ought to be clean.
That night the enemy airmen came
over where his soup kitchen was set
up and he had to sleep in damp,
rat-infested wine cellar. Next day
he set to work to make coffee, cocoa
and soup by the gallon. Two weeks
later when he took his clothes OFF
for the first time since his arrival,
he realized that he had become a
first-class soup chef.
He stayed at his soup kitchen in
Compiegne for two months. Then
he had orders to move to the Marine.
He set up his kitchen in Chateau
Thierry. Forced out of these, he
went on to another town where he
found a hospital full OF wounded with
insufficient medical stan. He scrubbed
floors and aided the doctors at oper-
atoms and served soup and coffee
from his canteen ION the side"
