GERMANY IS READY TO FIGHT

BERLIN, July 80. Germany just

l With Germany at present It la a

decreased raw materials, rolling
stock, markets and an impaired
labor supply due to war conditions,
lowered food and Industrial unrest.
Germany has considerable ma
chinery which she can export. One
big electrical supply house, accord
in to Information, : has sufficient
products on hand for nearly a year
to come. In this field Germany has
been going onward, and will soon
be In the market to do business

she could export many articles to

Deputy District flnme Warden- W.
O. Hadley returned last night from
a trip to , the Metollus river -where
he has boon Inspecting flumes and
preparing for the installation - of
screens for Irrigation ditches. J.
C. Altken, state superintendent of
soreons, -was expected to arrive this
afternoon to suportntond the com
pletlon of the work
cause of limitation of coal and raw
materials, and a constantly Increas
ing cost ot labor due to constantly
recurring strikes and a constant
growth ot the socialisation process.
. One factor overlooked In 'general
discussions ot German . ' business
prospects is ber supply ot potash.
This supply is unaffected -by the
peace treaty, and the world, is
clamoring tor this for fertilizer
purposes. And Germany can get
this product out at only slightly 'In-
creased cost over her previous price,
while, at the same time, she can de
mand more marks for It than before
in view of the lowered value of the
mark'. In this way she stands to
gain considerably from this one
source f Ion ;
This business should prove vast
again within a short time.Vhus en
abling the country to obtain credits
for materials from foreign countries.
German business foresees that It
will be nnder a vast load for a long
period of years, due to war debts
and indemnity taxes. But the aver
age German business man is pre
pared to go at his task anew if he
can get a stable labor market and
a prospect of profiting later on.
Socialization, however, may upset
many of their plans, tor there can
be no question that there is a con
stantly increasing trend toward so
cialization ' of many lines ot busi
ness. Until the time comes, how
ever, in which business is a state
affair, the German business man in
tends to go after fresh trade.'
