A Letter From Germany

Ihe Manufacturers Record is ii
Irceipraof letter from aSBerlin bust

[ tfact that a member Of firm has JUS
I left Berlin on$a visit to the United
States, and that he will bring witt
him a select and expensive set O.
samples Of a~greH variety Of articles
and that only such articles have beer
chosen as can be delivered. promptly.
Among the articles named are dolls
wooden toys, Christmas tree deco
atoms, mechanical toys, kinos, scis
sors, pocket and carving knives, raz
ors, manicure sets, etc.
This firm writes us that it repre-.
sents first-class German and Vienna
concerns, and that the member Of this
firm who is on the way to this coun-
try will also have samples of high
craze fancy articles made Of ivory
metal and leather, optical goods, etc.
and that all these things will be ex-
hibited Ito our american friends IN
New York, at place to be fixed I'M
nediate1y upon Mr.. ------s arrival,
and more of the same kind.
German toys-made by men who
butehered Belgian and French babies!
German Christmas tree decorations
made by men who violated every
precept taught by the One whose
bith Christmas celebrates!
German cutlery, pocket and car
wing knives by German but
chers who, with bayonet and sword
committed unto death the helpless
old men and women and children OF
Belgium and France.
Geman- made ivory goods-made by
Germans whose butchery OF human
beings was worse that the butchery
of the elephants from which the ivory
was taken!
Geman-made optical goods-made
by Germans who are blind to all that
is true and good and civilized, but
whose eyes were open to every atroci-
.ty that the vilest criminals on earth
could commit!
Oh yes; let these German toys
come into America but may the
fathers and mothers who buy them
hear ringing forever in their souls
the dying cry of murdered babies,
murdered by Germany!
Let those Christmas tree decora-
tons come, but may those who buy,
them realize fhas they are contriplt-
ing to the prosperity Of a nation
which sought definitely to destroy
Christianity and everything which
Christmas typifes.
And yet there are people in Amer
lea who. have SO little remembrance
of the unspeakaale crimes of Germany
for which mo word of repentance has
yet been uttered. that they would
clasp hands with the blood-1ripping
hands. of the German toy makers and
the German Christmas tree decora-
tors and forget the dying wall Of the
murdered babies and the cry Of hor-
ror of dishonorea womanhood and the
fact that out of the development Of
trade Germany hopes to get ready
to make another war upon civiliza-
ton on-NfanufacturerS Record

No attention is paid to the city or
dinances or the State law against
reckless driving Of automobiles. Daily
and nightly cars can be seen racing
through the streets or along the roads
in the vicinity of the city at speeds
ranging from 25 to SO miles or more
an hour. There is going to be a kill
ing some day or night soon, and nine
chances to one the victims will be
some innocent men, women and
children who are run down by reck-

the killing occurs it should not be
passed over rs an accident, but there
should be a prosecution for murder.

!, 5. MUST FIGHT FOR ITS DAIRY BUSINESS
Both Canada and Argentina Are
 Strong Competitors

WaSlln Ston, March 0.-Canada and Argentina may soon prove serious Competitors of the United States in the dairy industry, government off, cialS believe. The industry in both countries is in it's infancy yet Can- ada is producing 70 per cent as much cheese and } per cent as much but ter as the United States, while Ar sentina is producing Is per cent as much cheese and seven per cent as much butter. Canada's butter eX- ports were il per cent as large as those of the United States while her chCfsc exports greatly exceeded ex- ports from the United States. Ar scntina's butter exports were double those of the United States and her cheese exports eQualled 32 per cent of those of the United States.
 It is generally believed. government officials say, that Argentina and Can ada are capable of extensive develop ment of their industries and it is probable, therefore, that the United states may experience in the future particularly energetic competition. Argentina, Fl days distant from New ' oril. they say, may not be thought of sse1iously at this time as 8 direct competitor in the domestic market,
 
 supplant Canadian butter in the Eng lish market. in which case Canadian "yAutter would find logical outlet in the United States.
 Canada is in a better position to- day in the worlds markets with her butte and cheese than is the United StSes. officials declare. Moreover, Canada's policy with her returned soldiers and immigrants toward land detelopm ent is bringing results which eventually will mean larger produc tion. t~
 In the United States available lands are scarce and all lands generally eN- pensivc. It is reasonable to believe, gov.Tnmcnt scientists say, that in the future production will not increase in proportion to the population, as the greater part of the really pro- ductiVc land is now utilized. Re sumption of the importation of Flu ropean butter is again giving real competition to our product.

Commissioner Thinks L. $. Has Right Idea in Getting Together On Labor Disputes.

Melbourne, Australia, March D. Harry W. Braddon, formerly Austra- lian ommissiOner to the United States, told Australians in a speech the other day that he preferred the Am erican system of getting togeth- eI' to settle labor difficulties over the Australian compulsory arbitration plan.
