Japanese Manufacturers Can Under.
sell the British and American.

Glasgow, March so Correspond
ence}-Japanese manufacturers in al
most every line of trade are able
undersell their British and American
competitors by as much as 3S l-3
per cent and still gain a profit, accord
ing to the Journal Of the Glasgow
Chamber Of Commerce. The trade
paper attributes Japan's advantage
to lower wages and facilities for
transportation.
In 1917, the Journal adds, Japan
made a very marked advance in i'm
portation of raw materials and the
conversion of them into finished goods
for export. The cost OF labor, says the
paper, is the crucial question in the
problem Of how far Great Britain can
hold her own against japanese COM
petition. In the Japanese weaving
factories fourteen women or girls are
employed to one man or boy while
the proportion in the great English
textile industry in Lancashire is two
women to one man.

Airship Transportation is Costly.

people overlook the business details
Of freight transportation by airship.
Matter of fact persons who pinned
their faith to the humble motor

5000 pounds of supplies $50 miles
from LIE Bourget to Maubeuge and

It cost just over O dollar for each

as By motor truck the cost would not

T have wished for some time to get
a story from Capt. NJ. NJ. Buford
aboht the last days Of Johnson's
army and its surrender. so thar !
could put in print. This wish came
about III this way:
He and I We're talking about the
last days Of the retreat before Sher-
man in North Carolina over roads
deep in mud: with scarcely anything
TO eat for we had had to abandon
our stores when we left the head OF
the railroad at Cheraw and crossed
over the Pee Dee river for our long
hike in the wetteSt weather. 1t seems
to me. that ! had eyer known. 1t was
during the famous spring freshet OF
1865. There were no tents. no ambu-
balances for the sick. and only poor
excuse for a wagon train. The IN

Way had TO be left behind. their Off
GERS making the best arrangements
they could with kind citizens for theii
care. The cavalry farcd better. But
nobody wanted to be left behind to
fall into the hands Of Sherman

soldiers in my company an old mule
The new owner was very kind. ant
would let his sick and weary com
rades take turns in riding. At Raleigh
the remnant Of J Johnston's army went
to pieces, portions going one way and
other portions other ways. The KID
soldiers were entraining for South
Carolina in and on top OF long trains
of box cars. The mule had come 10
the end Of his journey. for there was
no wav to carry him further. and
his owner was trying to sell him tc
somebody in the large and motle!
crowd at the station: Time was near
! w up, and the owner was desperate
lowering his price till finally he SANG
out. I'll take $50 for the mule and
throw in the bride" a man in caval'
ry uniform stepped forward and said
.It's my mule" and paid the $50 and
led the mule away.
When 1 told Capt. Buford this
story, he jumped up out of his chain
and said excitedly:
