The total value of agricultural exports was swu. 033,924. This amount of agricultural exports exceeded by more than $000, 000,000 the total Imports of all prod ucts to the United States. These fig ures represent a large Increase over figures for pre-war years, the total ex ports of all products for the United States in 1914 being $2,3LO.GS4.025. Increase Due to War. "This Increase lu foreign commerce was caused by the war mul was made possible by four nmjor war measures, says the bureau of markets of the Cnited States department or agricul ture. "These tour war measures were: The taking of International commerce omlsts have ventured to outline n definite program for the reconstruc tion period. An Important and as yet indeter minable factor in foreign trade during the coming months is the result of the "produce more and consume less" campaign being waged In Europe. If the campaign meets with j;'"""1 re sponse It will result In continued uso of substitutes, less rapid return to nor mal consumption, and a decreased de mand for American products. Trior to the war the United States enjoyed a foreign market rather than a foreign trade. lSuyers came to tho American markets, established credits with American banks, bought and paid for our products, contracted for ship ping In units of the currency and weights of their own country, and In vessels flying the flag of their own nn- ft! :,4 O - - ; H, V- f. f . ..,.-1 Oiler in Western Mill Stripped by Shafting Vina, Nev. With every stitch of clothing stripped from his body, O. W. Pearl, an oiler, em ployed In the mill of tho Olym pic Alines company, was picked up from tho floor of the mill by fellow employees and found to have Buffered no serious Injury, despite tho fact that ho was whirled around a rapidly mov ing shafting several times. l'earl was oiling the line shaft Ing In the mill when his cloth ing was entangled In a net screw on tho shafting. The clothing held fast for a few sec onds and ho was pulled onto the shafting and whirled around. How many times ho went around he could not tell, but when his clothes finally ' gave way he was shot to the floor of the mill and had nothing on but his shoes. He hns a few bruises to show for his experience. The G-E Range Saves Food The r comparison shown here is not more theory it is IminciI on net mil t ests.

Belligerent countries sustained by credits from the United States had made extensive contracts for food sup plies, and upon the release of ship ping after the signing of the armistice a heavy movement of foodstuffs re sulted. These contracts are about com plete, the credits extended by the United States have been expended, and the crux of reconstruction has arrived ; trade must return to the private chan nels of finance, shipping, and barter, and the question of our future foreign commerce is important. The war has left the vorld In a complicated polit ical, economical, industrial, and social situation, and few statesmen or econ- I Find Frozen Bodies of Gunners in Alps Geneva. The frozen bodies of several Austrian artillery men, perfectly preserved, have been discovered by St. Bernard dogs in an Alpine trench near the summit of Stelvlo pass, about 10,000 feet above sea level. It is believed that a whole battery was buried In the deep snow. Searching parties al ready have uncovered seven bodies. tlon. The entire transactions were on basis of New Tork or American sea board, and required only a very lim ited knowledge of the factors of for eign trade on the part of the Ameri can vendor. In only a limited way can It be said that American trade has heretofore penetrated foreign markets. Perhaps the greatest single factor In our future foreign trade in agricul tural , products Is tiie American mer chant marine. On June 30, 1014, the merchant marine of the United King dom totaled 20,10O.O(X) gross ton, arid that of the United States 1,875,000 gross tons. On August 1, 11)10. the American merchant marine totaled 8,100,400 gross tons, the total number of vessels being 12,737, which includ ed 1,071 new steamers, Jj8 ex-Cormnn ships, and six ex-Austrian ships. Production Costs Increased In Europe. The cost of production in European countries will be Increased over the pre-war period because of the change In labor conditions. Iu the matter of machinery and etliclent methods of roductlon, America may he counted I upon to keep wi ll apace. The cost of ! production and labor, and tho In- creased shipping and bunking facll- ities, as compared with pre-war com petition conditions, greatly favor me American trader. The uncertain fac tor in the Immediate future uf our for eign trade Is the unsolved problem of foreign credit. At the rates of exchange prevailing October 0, 1919, a bushel of wheat which costs ?2.37'i f. o. b. nt our At lantic ports. In terms of our money abroad, would be worth abroad the equivalent of $2.74 In Hrlllsh money, $3.83 In French money. $1.43 In Ital ian money, nnd $13.47 In Oermnn money. If the depreciation of Kuro pean moneys continues, or the rate of exchange becomes more abnormal, It will probably restrict Imports not only of bread cereals, but also of other commodities, to the bare necessities, and will constitute a powerful stim ulus In foreign countries to increase production. - 4 "-.

Ileriin. 1'ossibly the stnucost de velopment yet found In the German industrial situation lias appeared at the aniline dye works, located at Wolf en, near Holle. Workers there demanded the privi lege of remaining nt their posts on German Memorial day, and when the firm refused to permit this the -.ork-men to the number of 400 forced their way into the office of the director and compelled him to keep the plant open. Gustav Noske, minister of defense, fearing trouble, .sent a brigade of troops to Wolfen, whereupon the work ers struck because of the fact that martial law was Imposed by the pres ence of the troops. Employees of the electric plant at Ritterfleld, near Wolfen, which sup plies Berlin with current, have struck in sympathy with the men at Wolfen, so that Berlin is threatened with loss of her electric supply. Martini law In the district has been ordered by the authority of President Kbeit and Min ister Noske.

Jiesidenls of the dev astated disiricts of France nre still fleeing from bursts of shell and shrap nel. The new menace Is caused by small fires, which frequently set off the shells that have been piled up. In the desolate fields thousands of unexploded shells have been picked up by German prisoners, ana, though there are details hauling thorn away and exploding them In remote valleys every day, there are still long ranks of them everywhere. Sparks from locomotives nnd from small fires, where battlefield rubbish Is being burned, occasionally set fire to patches of dry weeds, and tho ac cidental bursts are numerous.
