MAIL ORDER AND CHAIN STORE MENACE T I'KIXCl flic .it-it vcjii- ll.'Ml liiisincss concerns with a c;li.il:;l of I'-.-s lli.in ijOIKH) I'iiilcd. Accunliiitf to l'racl H' red's coiiniH'rci;il agency, ;i very large i'oiioi'tion of these failures were due to the immense expansion of mail order business and chain-store systems. The Iriilh is that independent retail dealers arc heins rapidly crushed between the order houses and the lower systems. The old-style grocer will soon be as rare a spo e imeii as the icthvosauriis or the pterodactvl if the chain stores and mail-order houses pncnomenal rate ot lite last Within the last few davs grocery stores in Philadelphia and the immediate vicinitv has been announced. These inesH of more than $50,000,000 a year, which 'represents more man one-tliim ot the total grocery trade ot the ter ritory covered. In addition to this new merger, there arc at least a dozen other chain - alone. ; Jt would he conservative to estimate that at least half the retail grocery business of Philadelphia in future will be clone by chain-stores. Similar mergers are being made throughout the coun try and there is now hardly a city of more than :S(),0()0 peo ple 1 hat is without one or more chain systems. The chain- store idea is hardly fifteen grocery field is concerned, one-foui'lh of thi! grocery today iieing done on that .system. .Every bod v remembers the little shops that used to sell "notions." Nobody ever knew what notions were, and they will have lit lie chance to shops have been almost wiped off the map by the t'ive-and-ten-cent stores. As an index to the expansion of the mail-order busi ness, the recent report of Scars-k'ocbuck shows that their stiles increased spill, (MM ),()()() during the hist year. Other houses show an almost, equally rapid expansion, and the rich profits that have been reaped are bringing new coni panics into the field every day. Sears-Roebuck earned lib1, percent on its common stock last year. Chicago mail-order houses are today selling groceries, shoes, dry goods and hardware in Washington, .Philadel phia and New York. Mail-order calalogues, which used to he seen only in the backwoods, are now cropping up in city houses all over the country. Up to date it is possible the chain-stores and mail-order houses have given the consumers appreciably lower prices, particularly on staples; but isn't it about time some con sideration was being given as the entire retail business of control of these far-reaching "CUPID'S APPLE ORCHARD" 0 UN D Cupid's apple .. 1 .... ...I H iiaci! wnei-e ( nieago n ess again," are the headlines an extended write-up ol our "colony of new romances."

What does that mean? To me per sonally that could mean but one thiiiK, namely, the convoying of ships." And, Count Von Bornstorff does not elieve that ships convoyed would he subject to attack, although ho feels a Rreat element of duiiKor Is attached to such a procedure. Turning to American neutrality, he said: "You have shipped your Roods to the allies because they had command of tho seas. If tho conditions had been reversed and tlie (icrnian navy, Instead of the Ilrltisli, had that com mand, you would have shipped your Koods to us. Naturally, any person's sympathies aro where he does busi ness. You can't blaino him for that. Works Hold Ways. "Let us consider humanity and in ternational law. There has been a cry against Germany on the ground that we have violated the rights of the former and the principles of the latter. But it Is a poor rule that does not work both ways. "Is It not a violation of tlie rights of humanity for the British to try to starve out tho non-comhntant poptt lotlon? Our women and our Ger man babies! Thoro is nothing 'hu mane in that.

The submarine campaign Is bound lo Increase) In intensity as the weather gets warmer." The former ambassador was usked whether he thought the warning con tained in the Oermun note nnnounc ing tho new submarine policy was di rectly responsible for the severance of diplomatic relations, would serve to keep Americans out of tho danger zones, llo replied hopefully: "If It only does! Then everything will be all right. If no Americans are. killed, there will be no war. I hope that war can he averted." nouoKicx, x. j., Keb. M.
