INTERNATIONAL CONTESTS

Contests of American with English
and French brain and Drawn seem to
have gone hardly with us recently.
The defeat of the American golf as
pirants at the English tournament
several days ago came as a surprise
and almost a shock to many loyal but
unfortunately over-confident enthusi-
asts. We found to our disappoint-
ment that the Briton still has it all
over us" in that line Of sport. Our
excellent tennis game got a dash of
cold water as we'll when Mrs. Mallory
and William Tilden met defeat at
Saint Cloud in the mixed doubles of
the worlds hard court champion
ships, played on Memorial Day.
But happily/contests between Brit
ish and Americans are not confined
to those demanding predominance Of
physical prowess. When the Bates
Gebaters sail for Oxford early this
month of June, the youthful gray
matter of America is to have oppor-
tunity to show its worth in forensic
skill. AS always the hope and con-
fidence Of the nation that believes in
the intrinsic ability and ultimate
victory of our young men will be
with our college boys.

RAISING THE PREPARATIONS

Germany, as will be recalled, was
given twenty-five days from May Is
by the Preparations Commission in
which to raise a billion marks and
pay them over. Her methods for do
ing this are convincing her neighbors
that at last she takes the matter Sc
riously. for they are serious methods,
nothing less than practically clapping
government mortgage of twenty
per cent on property including real
estate
We have been hearing of the effect
of imitation in Germany's currency,
how those with savings against a
rainy day are starving while those
who were in debt have easily been
enabled to pay the debt; how one
might buy anything and sell it for
more than he paid and those who had
bought real estate, paying a small
part down. were able with constantly
rlslng prices, TO sell mere fraction
of it and pay off the balance of the
debt and how in this way estates
had come into the possession of
those who, brief period before, were
hired men" working on the farms.
Under the new arrangement all
real estate will be assessed twenty
per cent, the government placing a
mortgage on it. These mortgages
tho government proposes to sell
in foreign countries as a means of
raising the needed money. No Won
der the men at the head of the Ger
man government desired to have it
made absolutely clear to their people
that they would not pay until COM
PEELED to do so.

Coal Bills in Maine
New York Heraldl

In the State of Maine the house.
holder has not only longer but a
harder winter than the rest of our
Atlantic seaboard in which to pay
coal bills. And the best he could do
early this year in converting his mo-
ey into coal, with not one red cent
included either for the wholesale
dealers profit or for the retail deal
er's profit, will show every other con-
sumner as well as the Maine consumer
what it is he pays for nowadays when
he buys his coal
The average Maine cost in the
householder's bins without any deal
er's profits at all, according to George
Otis Smith, Director of the United
States Geological Survey, is $1517 a
short ton. This is the way that cost of
SELF a ton is made up:
Labor at the mine, inside, 1888; out
side, GA cents; power house and gen.
eral colliery, IS cents; administrative,
s427 a ton.
Material at the mine, inside, 70
cents. outside, 81 cents; total, $1.36.
Reserves: Local taxes, IL cents;
compensation insurance and other
hazards, "a cents; depreciation, deple-
ton, &c, SO cents; total, So cents.
Producers total mine cost, as by
the foregoing, $6.32.
To which must be added selling ex-
pense, cents; margins for Federal
taxes and dividends, SO cents.
Buyers cost at the mine, as by the
foregoing, $6.92.
Freight charges, s625; Federal tax
on freight. 10 cents; total freight
cost, s6.44.
Cost to buyer at railroad station in
Maine of all the foregoing, 1896.
Yard and office expenses Of
local dealer, % cents; delivery in con-
sumers bin, $1.59.
Total of all the foregoing, $15.17.
Note that about half the total cost
of getting coal to the consumers bin
is transportation, 1914 which is
chiefly labor, and delivery $1.59, which
is chiefly labor. Mine cost, $6.32 is
chiefly labor. Local delivery, includ-
ing yard expense, $1.S1 is chiefly labor.
