Consul General Harris Tells
of Conditions in Report to
Bureau of Commerce,
LUXURIES SUFFER WORST
Stores Belling- Kln Priced and Fancy
Wares Affected Tourist Hotels
Are Forced to Close,
Dowers for Brides Revived.
Copenhagen. Sept. 21. (I. N. S.)
With a view to encouraging early mar
riages, the Prussian minister of Jus
tice announces the revival of dowers
in the case of young girls under 16.
'The relative ease with which Ger
many was able to adjust Itself to the
new conditions and meet the industrial
demands made upon It stands cut as
one of the unique and instructive facts
or the war," says Consul General H.
W. Harris in a report to the. bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce, just
Issued. "It has emphasized the fact
that Germany's Industries are many
elded, covering a wide range of prod
ucts, and that its policy of conserving
and making the best of Its resources
has served the country well in this
hour of its trial, as it added to its
strength in time of peace. The needs
of war cut into every bFanch of in
dustry." The report gives comparative tables
showing that In his district, Frank-fort-on-the-Main,
covering the year
1914, many industries flourished, de
spite the war, and gave relatively
larger returns on the capital in-vested
than during the preceding year.
Xiuxurles Wot in Demand.
he Jewelry, silverware and fine
leatherware Industries, he says, suf
fered greatly by the outbreak cf the
war, and are practically at a stand
still. The chemical and dyestuff In
dustry was largely curtailed and in
some cases certain departments of fac
tories were shut down; in others, the
necessity for products used in large
quantities in the manufacture of ex
plosives, the increased requirements of
the textile industry, and the domestic
demand in other lines, together with
the higher prices obtained for products,
partly offset the loss in export trade.
"In most instances the getting aside
of large sums to assist the families
of workmen in the army or for general
relief purposes tended to reduce divi
dends, though in general the falling
off was not marked.
"A German writer, referring to this
industry, says:
Field of Chemistry Great.
" 'Whoever considers the history of
the months following the outbreak of
the war from the standpoint cf the
chemical industries must reach thje
conclusion that in no periad of the
world's history has the recognition of
the far reaching importance of the
chemical Industries in the general wel
fare taken so deep root among all
classes of the German people as has
been the case within the past few
months. There is scarcely a field of
human activity rn which the chemist,
whose usefulness was heretofore rec
lOgnieed only in a limited degree, is
1 not now called upon to enter to coun
sel or to assist.
"In the machinery manufacturing
industry the showing for the year was
in the main a favorable one. This call
for military shoes, saddlery, etc., had
a marked effect on the demand for
shoe and saddlery machinery. The
making of shells and other ammuni
tion on a large seale has resulted in
heavy demands for metal working ma
chinery. "Some branches of the automobile
industry suffered much, while others
engaged especially in the making of
types of cars used in the army were
occupied to their full capacity.
Falling- Off Small.
"The demand for automobiles for
pleasure purposes ceased with the out
break of the war, as was the. case
with luxuries in general. With large
demands for machines for military
purposes the remainder of the year
was fairly satisfactory, the net earn
ings for the whole period falling but
little behind those of 1913.
"Other machine concerns In the dis
trict ar.e known to have had a fairly
profitable year, due wholly or in part
to their participation In the making
of products required in the war. A
large ice machine concern paid but 5

per cent dividend, as against 9 per cent
for three previous years, a decrease
due rn part. It is stated, to the fact
that branches in other countries were
affected by the war. Another concern
paid S per cent, as against 10 per cent
for several years past, while still an
other paid 7 per cent, as 11 has done
for the past five years or more.
Betafl Trade Tarlously Affectsd.
"The general retail trade has been
variously affected sines the beginning
of the war. Frankfort and other cities
In the district have large and hand-'
ny wei Protest Against Recent
part of Germany, but' by the thou
sands of tourists who come to this
region in normal times oh their way
to the many health resorts of the lo
cality. Business houses such as heEe,
dealing in expensive jewelry, costly
linen goods, fine carpets, musical in
struments, antiques, handsome furni
ture, leather goods, bric-a-brac, and
pictures, have felt the effects of the
war In a marked degree."
Hotels catering to tourists have suf-i
fered more than any other line of en
deavor, many having had to -close, the
report states.

San Francisco, Sept. 21. (TJ. P.)
Once the pryie of the American navy
nearly 100 years ago, the famous
frigate Independence today is but a
charred skeleton, burned for" the value
of the copper rivets contained In her
structure. She was put to the torch
on the mud flats at Hunter's Point
last night by a commercial concern
that bought her for $3515.
To many persons who knew, tne
record of the gallant old vessel which
had carried the Stars and Stripes since
1814, the ignominious end of the relic
was a tragedy.
The old ship wag the first flagship,
la the early days of its career.
The Independence was launched July
20, 1814, and made her maiden voyage
to the Mediterranean, flying the flag
of Commodoro Bainbridge. Three years
ago it was mustered out of service.
Since then it had been a receiving ship
at Mare Island.

The state department is also study
ing charges that British distributors
of rubber and other raw products are
blacklisting and boycotting American
manufacturers who refuse to sign
agreements curbing American export
trade among Great Britain's customers.
Linked with the subject of trade in
terference there was an unconfirmed
rumor that the hitch in the allies'
$500,000,000 loan negotiations has bee.i
due to federal obstacles. The failure
of financiers to consult the govern

was deemed significant in view of this
report.

HOW TO READ A BANK REPORT
(No. 3 of a Series.)
SURPLUS
Our previous advertisement showed that the
subscription of the stockholders appears as
"Capital," which is one element of strength.
Now examine "Surplus."
"Surplus" is also a form of "Capital" capital
earned by the bank itself.
Thjs item, therefore, is a measure of growth,
earning power, service, efficiency, conservatism
in the payment of dividends and other elements
of success.
An increasing "Surplus" shows that a portion
of earnings is put back into the business and
that the protection afforded by the bank's
"Capital" is continually strengthened by a
growing reinforcement.
Our next advertisement (Wednesday) will ex
plain the third form of "Capital," namely, "Un
divided Profits."
