Germany Severely Snubbed. American iron, textile, leather and other industries tad received from the Allies and some neutral Governmenta orders for war material aggregating in value $1000,000,000 In this stangiog American business? Europe's needs added $1000,000,000 to the value of last years crop Is this strangling American agri- calfare? Indeed, in no depart- | mouthao - American businesÐ suffered through the aar and one can well imagine the chagrin of the German Gov- jernment: that her enemies oblain so much in the way of supplies that she herself sorely needs and cannot possibly obtain. Ia fios of these facts Americans oan well afford to give the snub to Gaiman intriguersand calami- ty bowlers and they can rest 65- sured that the Allics will not relax their grip upon the German stomaob, which is "Beber alles! in the Fatherland to-day, until Germany, in chastened mood, swallows the snub and cries "hild, enough."

China's Tradė.
"Whether or not the general tradewill correspondingly advance with sufficient rapidity to obriste the probability of a diminished revenue collection in corsequence thereof is problematica), the "Commissioner wrole. The out- break of war in Europe in August lant made it certain that general trade would suffer, the result. being that the Customs revenue at Canton showed a decrease of nearly half a million taele, while the Castomerevenue for the whole of Chios showed a loss of over five million taele. The yeare 1011, 1912, and 1913 had been successively record years, but while the war endures we cannot expcot to see this rate of progress maintained. Indeed, if we may be guided by the general complaint of the dullness of trade, the Ca-toms revenue for the present war is likely to be lower than it has been for several years past. Fortunately, thanks to the ad- ministrative reforms which the new Government haa introduced and also to the measures which have been taken to promote the prosperity of internal trade, China is better able to bear a temporary set back to her foreiga trade now than was the see a few years ago, and she will at least be able to meet it with confidézes in the growing potentialities of her trade. when orce the war 18 ended and a return is made to normal conditions of trade.

Wars Effect on Crime The decrease of crime in Paris, London, and other European cities since the war began, bas been explained in several ways, but M. Alfred Capus, editor of the Paris Figaro finds the reason in the fact that the plainer life of those of the upper strata of society leseens the temptation of those of the lower. Moreover, in time of war the "literature of the outer boulevarde," which may be expressed as "obeap novel litera ture or shilling shockers," not so much in evidence. Yet he doubts whether this slackness in crime will show after the war and therefore urges that a certain amount of the present discipline of society be continued and that Paris try moro diligently than before to stop the growth of orime in the minds of the young throug
