A Cochin, South India, cor- respondent of the London Econo mist, who has an analytical mind, gives reasons not frequently. If it were possible, he observes, to ob. tain a fairly accurate figure for each of several factors, and to multiply the totals of those factors by the av. erage number of years which each of the slath would have lived, had it not been for the war, a reasonable estimate of the loss of wealth would be possible, Here are the factors he enumerates, each being made up of annual amounts due to: (1) Taxes paid by each man killed; (2) cost of supporting those orignally sup: ported by him; (3) his buying pow- er; (4) profit due on work done by him; (5) his savings, If it were possible to obtain a fairly accurate figure for each of these factors, a reasonable calculation could be made of the enormous wastage of life which is going on at the present mo. ment in Europe.

York, July 9 The finding of German mines in the waters around the Ruseian port of Archan- gel is reported in a Copenhagen des- of June 22nd, just received here. The despateh says: 'An admiral, whose name is not stated, says in the infor- mation that he has seen a large num- ber of mines in the waters near Ar- hangel. He thinks the mines were vither set by Germans steamers or packed under false labels in chests, were gent to Stockholm and thence shipped to Narvil;, where there was a neutral ship that took mines aboard for a Norwegian merchant, "On board the ship were a num- ber of persons. whom the authorities at Narvik can ascertain without dif- ficulty to be German officers. result of the peculiar nature of Norwegian coast, the Germans could there undertake regular excursions for strewing of #uch mines, If mea- sures are not soon adopted against this," the admiral added, the' justi fication of his statements would be shown this summer."

Germany's Food System. Kansas City Star Sotmany 8 system of food produc- tion is a very different thing from America's, Germany's whole system of wealth production is on a differ- ent basis from America's wealth pro- duction. Those who predicted the German Empire's quick starvation. marvel at the stores of food she possesses. It is a marvel; but the marvel is a part of its resources. It.i8 a common thing throughout the world to say, qr assume, that our problems are no longer problems of production; that they are problems of distribution. But only a few coun- tries, notably Germany and Belgium (before the war), have come .any- » here near solving their production problems. It is tree that potential- ly, through the vaster areas of soil opened to settlement, through inven- tion, chemical discoveries, transpor- tation development; ete, we could produce wealth "beyond the dreams of avarice." many comes closer to it than mest countries because Germany has re< cognized the fundamental interest of every one in her natural resour- ces. ; A THE FIRST STEP Ethel H.

BISMARCK REMARKABLE FOR LINGUISTIO POWERS Prolonged Discussion In French Wearied Him, However, At the Congress Of Berlin, Although a remarkable fine lingu- ist, Bismarck found that the prolong- ed discussions in French at the Con- gresses of Berlin were a strain on his faculties... Shortly after the Cen gress closed he told: a friend that, "apart from the Importance of the negiotiations, {it proved extremely exhausting to express myself in a foreign language so correctly that my observations could be embodied in the protocol without having to be altered. Before I proceeded to the Congress I used to drink two or three glysses full %of the strongest port wine, in order to get my blood to cir- culate properly. But for this stim- ulant I should have been quite un- able to preside." Bismarck's English was noted by Lord Randolph Churchill, who met | the great Prussian at Kissingen in) 1893. Lord Randolph describes speaking English very care-! fully and slowly, frequently pausing to get the right word, but always producing it er something like it in the end." One word that puzzled him was supplied by Lord Randolph. The talk had turned on Gladstone who, Bismarck said, "had always been like an ungovernable horse, whom no one could ride in any bridle and he was not to be control ed in any way," He used some Ger- man adjective to describe the horse (Lord Randolph forgot it) and ask- ed what was the English equivalent. Lord Randolph suggested "rogue," and he "turned his face to me with a smile, but said nothing, though he clearly understood the allusion." light on the Swift Torpedoes and Slow Diplomacy New York Sun. There is a very strong suspicion in this country that Germany's diplo- mats are trifling with the United States. They have had President Wilson's note reiterating the Presi- dent's 'demands twenty days, and it is said that the reply will not be re- ceived for another week, They are apparently waiting to give Mr. Bry- an all the time he may require, with the firm belief that his pro-German the United States forget the Lusitania, the Gulf- light, the Cushing and the Nebras- | kan.
