Von Bissing Says Laws for
Protection of Workingmen
, , Already Bear Fruit.
DIFFICULTIES ARE SEEN
Social Reforms Promised and Atten
tion Already Is Being Given to
Restoration of Agriculture
and Industry.
BRUSSELS, Feb. 28. (Correspond
ence or the Associated Press.) Some
Idea of what Germany is trying to ac
complish in Belgium is contained in an
interview with General von Biasing,
German Military Governor of Belgium,
recently granted to a number of Ger
man newspaper men.
'In everything that we are undertak
ing here," says the General, "all our re
lations would be simplified if the Bel
gians only knew what is eventually to
become of them.
"But they are such children! We
have all had the experience of seeing
the Belgians, on days when we can hear
the cannonading from Nieuport and
Ypres. believe that the Germans have
been defeated and that the allies are
moving on Brussels. What children
they are!
"Because smallpox vaccine has been
introduced Into Germany, some evil
Joker spreads the report that the Ger
mans intend to inoculate the Belgian
children with poison, and as a result,
under the guidance of teachers and par
ents, the 'endangered' children leave the
schools."
Characteristics Good and Bad.
General von Bissing reports finding
both good and bad characteristics
among the Belgians good in that they
love their country and are inspired by
a. lively patriotism and that they work
gladly, though without the German
energy: bad in that they seem to have
an easy-going carelessness for the fu
ture, which often results In badly
reared children.
vWe must strive." says the Governor,
"to make it possible for Belgium to
raise its own food supply at as early a
date as possible. For this reason 1
have supported all agricultural inter
ests, and have made every effort to
alter the nature of Belgium's products.
1 have endeavored to restrict the pro
duction of sugar beet by one-half at
least, so as to permit in its stead the
raising of grain and potatoes. lruca
gardening and the raising of vegetables
and fruit also are being encouraged.
Among the difficulties encountered in
restoring Belgium to something ap
proximating a peace status. General
von Bisslne cites the country s abso
lute dependence on the importation of
Taw materials for the continuation of
its Industries, and the exportation, at
present cut down, of its products. He
declares that the German government
will be the last to stand In the way of
the exportation of any products excephl
those of which Germany ltseir has neea.
Social Laws Amended.
"There is still much to b.a done in
Belgium," concludes the Governor, "for
we are really on the threshold of our
work. Our Improvement of sanitary
and veterinary work already bears
fruit. Prostitution exists to an alarm
ing degree, but we have already ac
complished its restriction to some ex
tent. "We have begun with heretofore
totally unknown social laws to limit
labor by women and to protect children
and women. These are but beginnings,
to be sure, but they are beginnings that
Already are bearing fruit even though
the Belgian worker lacks the intellect
and comprehension of social laws pos
sessed by the German workingman.
I.aw3 for the protection of labor are
unknown here. We who come here
come to appreciate that with astonish
ment. "But I say: Stick it out! German
ways and means and German character,
German strength and German work will
come to honor in Belgium, just as they
will be victorious all over the world!"

For hours upon hours we shall go
r-lunging through regions as silent as
the desert, the black, motionless arms
of windmills standing stark against the
stray sky: gaunt crosses, garlanded with
wreaths of oak leaves, rising by the
roadside, and wan blue and white
vtatues of the Virgin, with a child in
her arms. Sometimes the snow has
drifted over the naked body of the
child in her arms, making a piteous
coverlet for the body; and all over the
pcene blackbirds, wheeling In leisurely
circles. They seek the carrion of war.
We shall see ruin, grime and wretch
edness among the native population of
this doubly stricken region stricken
by war and stricken by ignorance and
we shall see enormous activity on the
part of the invader.
People Live Amid Wreckage.

And every town more or less shot to
pieces: sometimes only on Its outskirts,
sometimes the very vitals of it torn
asunder by bombardment churches un
roofed, inns with only two walls stand

center chimney marking the place where
families used to gather round the fire.

dozens of them, I should say. Yet in
none Is the destruction by any means
total. Always something and often
much has survived bombardment and
street lighting, and amid tho wreckage
life resumes, and the people go about
their tasks, and dark-eyed children play
ehrllly in the snow.

coated prisoners, being marched into
Germany live abreast in columns a mile
long sallow. Inscrutable looking men;
no sorrow in their faces, no signs of
the wretchedness they must feel just
faces, unwashed and patient.
Such things we shall see and hear on
the ride to Lowlcz. I call it a ride worth
taking.
All Are Bound for Russia.
The German soldier at the auto wheel
leans forward and throws everything
wide. The other German soldier by his
side plays a warning tur-a-loo on his
horn. Tho German Lieutenant on the
back seat with you shifts his body
deeper Into the sacklike fur rug which
comes up to his armpits.
Early as it is, frosty Posen Is already
belching forth wagon trains, automo
biles and occasional detachments of
troops. All are bound for Russia Lodz,
Lowlcz, Bolimow. Mlawa and a dozen
other towns that are only names to the
American reader. They stream through
the great Warsaw gate and out over the
wide, white, intrenched plains lying: to
the east of the city. The fog envelopes
them and they are lost to view. All the
auto headlights are blazing, throwing
a yellow glare far along the narrow
streets of the black town, and the hoot
ing of motor horns is incessant-
We glide into the white fog, and in
tho fog lies tho secret of the cold. , a
curious and most damnable cold, that
strikes to the vitals. Every tree on the
wide plain is etched in frost against
the sad sky. Fifteen minutes after the
start you look at your coat and dis
cover that the frost has turned it white.
The cold is as clammy as death. In
America I never felt anything just like
it. It makes kilometers seem leagues,
and the strange part is that the roofs
on the stone cottages are covered with
bright green moss and the roads are
for long stretches quite soft so soft.
an oflicer tells you, that on some days
it is impossible to move the heavy guns.
Chauffeur's Feat Savea Party.
Autos faring back from Russia come
looming up at us the way ships at sea
loom out of the fog. and Sometimes the
atmosphere is so thick that these re
turning autos are almost upon you be
fore you know it.
In this wild Lowlcz ride there were
escapes that I shudder to remember.
Once when we were far beyond the
German frontier we rushed up a high
hill and cleared the brow of it at a
swift pace. Just over- the brow half a
dozen German military autos had halt
ed for slight repairs, and they blocked
the road as effectively as overturned
carts used to in a Paris uprising.
Every man in our car took a short
breath and made his mind ready for
the worst everybody too startled to be
frightened except the soldier-chauffeur,
who was neither startled nor frightened.
What he did nobody ever precisely
learned, but he must have wrenched
his onrushing car into a sharp turn, for
the next thing we knew the car, right
side up and everybody in it safe, was
plunging over the furrows of a Russian
wheat field. The car had swerved
abruptly from the middle of the blocked
road, leaped a ditch and landed in the
field. The chauffeur made a circle in
the field, jumped , the car across the
ditch again, and, without coming to a
bait during one instant of the
maneuver, took us sailing down the
hllL
I never saw a prettier feat outside a
circus. The German officer in the
back seat, who had spoken not a word
for 20 kilometers, shouted "Bravo!"
and leaned forward and gave the sol
dier one pat on the back. As for the
soldier, he had spoken never a word
during the whole business, and at the
officer's pat he only made a swift sa
lute. In the rush .of departure from
the blockaders there was an explosion
of the German language from the ser
geant who sat by the soldier-chauffeur.
As for the captain and me, we agreea
that we should never find more fitting
occasion for a drink from the flask of
port wine.
Castle Contains Tragedy.
Our good-by to Germany on the trip
to Lowicz was a breakfast in a chill
stately residence they called it "the
schloss." but it was part chateau and
part castle which stands in a great
park a few miles on the German side
of the frontier. Living there Is an old
Polish-German Count, very feeble, who
is a retired officer of the German army;
a Count in middle life, a third count,
also an officer, who is past the first
flush of youth, and a fourth Count-
or Count-to-be who is the heir of them
all, a polite, gentle, winning litttle boy.
Four generations under one roof, as I
figured it out, and all four of the fam
ily highly individualized persons. I
don't give the name of the family, be
cause I don't wish to connect a tragio
tale with people who were kind to me,
though everybody in Poland knows the
tale.
It was only last Spring that Count No.
3 shot to death his wife and his
nephew, for reasons, to his proud and
'outraged soul, sufficient. He was ac
quitted of murder on the grounds that
the provocation was so terrible that he
was temporarily Insane. Since the war
broke out he has served with desperate
valor and has won the iron cross of
both classes.
,A taciturn individual, the avenger
seemed to me as I sat next to him at
breakfast in the long, high, cold dining-
room; looked like a football player 11
his woolen jersey and leather waist
coat, and questioned me rather too
closely. I thought, about my passports
and destination; civil, though in a gruff
way, and constantly pressed hot tea and
cold moat on me.
Little Boy Presides at Table.
A eentle lady, who might have been
the avenger's aunt, sat at one end of
the table. She spoke charming Eng
lish, as did the little boy. who presided
like a young prince at the other end,
and who one instant asked me "grown
up" questions about America, and the
next gravely recommended to my at
tention some cakes that looked like our
doughnuts. He was the darling of the
party, a grave, sweet, composed little
gentleman who, you somehow felt,
would have either a great or a sad
future in the world. He did not relax
his ceremonious manner until, in the
moments of parting, I asked him to ac
cept a little enameled American flag I
was wearing on my overcoat. Then his
grave, beautiful eyes were really child
like at last, and he ran down the long
central hall of the chateau to show the
trinket to some governess. I suppose.
He had told me he had two governesses,
and that they kept him pretty busy..
Anyway, when he came back to renew
his solemn farewells he was without
the flag.
After I had got back Into the auto I
could not get that boy out of my mind
for miles, and caught mrself muttering.

COTTON CROP GREATEST
STATISTICS INDICATE 204,731,000
POINDS OVER 1911.
Feature of 1914 Yield I Increased
Production In California and Arizona
Yet In Infancy.
WASHINGTON. March 21. The
greatest cotton crop ever produced in
the United States was grown in 1D14.
Census bureau statistics issued today,
giving final ginning figures, officially
place the 1914 crop as a record, with
IS.102,143 bales of 500 pounds each.
That is 204.721.000 pounds more than
produced in the great crop of 1911.
In addition to the great production
of lint cotton, a record quantity of
linter cotton, extensively used in the
manufacture of military - explosives,
was obtained. This cotton amounted
to 395.732.000 pounds and brought the
total 1914 crop to 16,893.604 equiva
lent 500-pound bales, or 8.446.S03,500
pounds.
A feature of the crop was the great
ly increased production in California
and Arizona, two states where the cot
ton growing industry is in Its infancy
and where a superior quality of the
staple is raised.
California's production amounted to
49.835, while Arizona's crop was 7142
bales.
Unofficial estimates place the value
of the crop, which this season has been
greatly reduced bv the effect of the
European war. at $570,000,000 for lint.
The value of the seed is estimated at
$134,000,000. These together make the
estimated value of the crop to farm
ers $704,000,000. compared with $911,
000.000. the value of the 1913-14 crop,
estimated in the same manner.

Tribune.)
ON BOARD S. S. ADRIATIC, Nearing
Liverpool. Feb. 16. Tremendous trade
between Russia and the United States
will be a natural outcome of the great
war, according to R. C. Martens, a mer
chant of Petrograd and London, who is
returning to Europe from -a business
trip taken with this end In view. Mr.
Martens says the Russian people will
hereafter refuse to buy German man
ufactured articles and also will refuse
to purchase merchandise from other
countries through German agents.
He declares that three-fourths of the
exports from the United States to Ger
many are consigned to that country for
eventual consumption in Russia; like
wise that a similar proportion of im
ports from Germany to the United
States comes origlnaly from Russia,
Therefore, he says, the United States
must develop direct trade with Russia
not only in order to extend the Ameri
can markets, but even to hold those
we had before the war.
Sales Company Is Advised.
Mr. Martens' plan is to organize an
American company to promote and
handle the sale of American-made
goods In Russia. This company not
only would devote itself to the exten
sion of American trade, but would do
so much more efficiently and econom
ically than do the German middlemen,
who have had this function in their
hands.
Mr. Martens' suggestion is that Amer
ican manufacturers seeking Russian
markets shall pay to the export com
pany an annual sum of $1500 each.
With this in hand the company would
maintain a general office in Petrograd
and branch offices at appropriate cen
ters in the empire.
Credit Arrangement Proposed.
The men in charge of these offices
would canvass the Russian territory
for orders and requests for bids and
forward these to the main offices at
home.. To the manufacturer's bid will
be added the freight and duty, and a
delivered price will be presented to the
purchaser. Upon each sale a commis
sion will be charger the purchaser, 25
per cent of which will be paid to the
seller.
According to the plan, the export
company will co-operate with the seller
in getting credit with Russian banks
when necessary, as Russian custom
gives the buyer three, six and even nine
months to pay. It is emphasized that ex
porters must conform to the habits of
foreign people in order to get their
trade. In time the company hopes to
have money enough to extend its own
credit when needed.
Russians 9Teed Tools Most.
The articles which Russian needs
most and America can best supply are
tools of all kinds, from heavy ma
chinery to tack hammers, everything
useful In farming and lumbering, au
tomobiles, road.-making machinery and
electrical equipment.
Proof of the need of such a company
to handle and extend America's trade in
Russia, Mr. Martens says, lies in the
fact that only our great trusts have
been able thus far to afford the machin
ery necessary to do business in the
country whose business methods and
processes of thought are as different
from ours as the two governments are
different.
Goods can be sold in Russia only
through a large organization employ
ing the ablest and most experienced
Russian managers. The plan seems
logical and is certainly worth investi
gating. Half of Trade Held by Germany.
In 1912 Russia's total Imports were
$510,771,200. of which the imports
from Germany were more than 50 per
cent, or $267,343,700. The imports from
the United States were only $44,000,000,
and Great Britain $71,000,000. The total
Russian exports in that year were
$709,501,700. of which Germany re
ceived about one-third, or $238,677,600.
The Russian exports to the United
States in that year were a little over
$9,000,000 and to Great Britain $168.
000,000. Details - of the imports into
Russia are interesting.
The tables show the total imports
of various articles and the amount of
the imports from Germany. This tabu
lation will make clear the vast field of
opportunity tor supplying the needs of
Russia, now that Germany has been cut
off from trade with that country:

BRITISH LOSS IS 61 MEN
Superiority of Fire of Fleet Over

Admiralty to Have Been Shown.
New Dangers Admitted.
LONDON, March 21. The Admiralty
tonight made the following announce
ment: "Unfavorable weatner has inter
rupted the operations In the Darda
nelles and as seaplane reconnaissances
have not been possible, the amount of
damage done to the forts by the bom
bardment of the 18th cannot be ascer
tained. "No great expectations should, how
ever, be based on this, as, owing to the
losses caused by drifting mines, the
attack was not pressed to Its conclu
sion on that date.
"The power of the fleet to dominate
the fortresses by superiority of fire
seems to be established. Various other
dangers and difficulties will have to
be encountered, but nothing has hap
pened which Justifies the belief that
the cost of the undertaking will ex
ceed what has always been expected
and provided for.
"The British casualties in the per
sonnel are 61 men killed, wounded and
missing.
"Admiral De Robeck has telegraphed
to the Admiralty as follows:
" 'I desire to bring to the notice of
your lordships the splendid behavior

loss leaves them quite undaunted.
They were led into close action by

20 SEEK MISSING TRAPPER
Searching Party Near Detroit Fears
Accident to Mountaineer.
ALBANY, Or., March 21. (Special.)
A searching party of 20 men is hunting
for W. F. White, a trapper who has
been missing from his home at Detroit,
eastern terminus of the Corvallis
Eastern, for three days. White and an
other trapper named Hare left Detroit
last Wednesday to make the rounds of
their traps.
They parted at French Creek to di
vide their work, each taking a different
route. White failed to appear at their
meeting place, and after waiting some
time Hare returned to Detroit. Noth
ing has been heard from White since.
He had a gun and dog with him. As
he was an experienced mountaineer it
is believed he could not have lost his
way, so the supposition Is that he met
with an accident.

ALBANY. Or.. March 21. (Special.)
With the Government thermometer
here recording a maximum temperature

WASHINGTON, March 21. (Special.)
"It is not the trusts that have made
the times; it is the times that have
made the trusts."
This Is the view of George W.- Ter
kins, multi-millionaire and founder of
some of the largest industrial corpora
tions in the country. Perkins Is in
Washington. Since his retirement from
active management of corporations he
has given deep study to some of the Jlls
which he thinks afflict the business of
the Nation.
"Something Is wrong in the country."
Mr. Perkins declared. He contends that
the trouble is not superficial, but fun
damental that is, ""a contflct between
economics new and economics old."
Mr. Perkins proposes two remedies
for the evils: -
First, Federal regulation of great In
terstate and international Industrial
concerns.
Second, complete publicity as to the
affairs of these concerns.
The desired reform can be brought
about," he declared, only by the sober,
able business men of the country taking
affairs out of the hands of theorists and

DANGEROUS DEBILITY
Debility may result from a number
of causes worry, after-effects of
acute Illness, lack of nourishment due
to disordered digestion, or anything
that makes the blood thin, thereby pre
venting It from carrying health and
nourishment to the tissues of the body.
The symptoms of debility vary but
weakness Is always present, often a
tendency to fatigue easily, ringing In
the ears, black spots passing before the
eyes, weak back, dizitnens. wakeful
ness caused by inability to stop think
ing, and unrefresliing sleep.
Debility is dangerous because it
weakens the body's defense against
disease. For instance, debilitated peo
ple take cold easily and Winter Is al
ways a trying time for them. When
one cold follows another the system
surely needs building up.

conditions with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills is based on sound medical princi
ples and common sense. These pills

every part of the body, nerves as well
as muscles and brings vigor, strength
