Purposes of Destruction Back of the wanton destruction of houses and their furnishings, factories and their equipment, railroads and their rolling stock, which has characterized the German invasion of France, Belgium and Russia, is a purpose greater than that of military exigency and necessity. The kaiser is seeking not only military power but also industrial power. He realizes that he must have markets for his home industries after peace is declared. The dumping place for the vast output of his industrial concerns, he believes, is the territory he has ravaged, for the houses, factories and machinery must be replaced, and why not let Germany be the nation that sells the commodities to these nations, is his argument. The Guaranty Trust Company of New York presents this phase of after-war rehabilitation thus: Many of the things done by Germany during the war which other nations have denounced as of insignificant military Importance disclose themselves during a careful reading of Germany's ifter-war preparations as merely a part of her general plan of national rehabilitation. For example, there Is reason to believe that neutral ships not engaged in traffic to or from a belligerent country have been destroyed not only because of the danger of their pupplanting German ships in certain routes, but also, and more especially, to reduce the sum total of world tonnage and thereby Increase the proportionate share of it which Germany will have when the war ends. If Germany can reduce the total of world tonnage to a point where at the conclusion of the war every available ship will be necessary for the distribution of needed products to and from .her present enemies and their colonial possessions German ships will be able to concentrate on neutral countries or even to revive transportation to enemy countries whose necessities are so great as to dull the edge of their resentment. And other nations' lack of ships combined with Germany's geographical position will bo conducive to that enormous expansion of business with Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Russia, Ukrania Roumania, Serbia, Albania, Montenegro, and even France and Italy, upon which the Germanic economic prophets look as the foundation for the gradual building up of industrial and commercial supremacy. The systematic stripping of such of these adjacent countries as have been conquered by the Central Powers and their allies is the Initial step in a long and carefully devised prowess. Every possible source of wealth In these countries has been destroyed or, where absolute destruction was impossible, ruined, not to serve any present military purpose or as the result of blind, mad hatred, but in accordance with the plan of creating there a necessity for goods so great as to compel the welcoming of German products. According to the calculations of the Germans their own needs and the lack of ships will operate to curtail the abilities of her present enemies to do much for the denuded countries adjacent to the Central Powers. Her estimate of the character and purposes of America, Great Britain, France and Japan, is that when relieved of the burdens of war these countries will turn Immediately to the revival of business with their own rich colonies or neighbors and leave Belgium, Poland, Russia, Roumania, Serbia, Albania and Montenegro to regain their feet as best they can. Having stripped these countries of their wealth and having left them but slender means of creating it, Germany feels that she has prepared an excellent dumping ground for the vast quantities of cheap manufactures which she is organizing her industries and her distributing machinery to produce and market. So certain are her leaders of their opportunity in this direction that they affirm that Italy may be counted with the other immediately prospective buyers because position and long custom of her people make Germany her natural source of both raw and finished materials. Because this is Germany's avowed purpose and her guiding spirits of industry and finance are perfecting plans now to carry out these ambitious plans the allied nations are giving .thought and attention to thwart the scheme. The declarations of many organizations in the United States and allied countries to refuse to buy Ger

man-made goods for many years illustrate the extent of the opposition in these countries. The governments themselves are determined that Germany shall be defeated not only on the field of battle but also on the greater field of industrial and commercial activity. If Germany can declare peace now and retain conquered Russia, she will have gained no inconsiderable victory, for she would have access to raw materials and a splendid market for her finished products. The general plan of Germany to accomplish economic domination of the world's markets after peace is declared is explained by the Guaranty Trust company as follows: If the peace terms leave her free to obtain by peaceful methods that control of the industrial and commercial processes of her neighbors which she thought It possible at first to accomplish by force of arms, she will be forced to wait for the larger opportunity. She is prepared to do that. If measures are taken by the Entente Allies to finance the reconstruction of Belgium, France, Russia, Roumania, Serbia and the other countries, and to supply them with materials in a way that will make it possible for Germany to profit by her denudation of them. Germany will, according to her view, be able to resume her trade with other countries just the same. Her belief is that her present enemies will be unable to rehabilitate Europe, themselves, and the rest of the world at one and the same time, that somewhere will appear an opportunity for the German ship and the German product. She is prepared to throw the full weight of her commercial organization in the direction that offers the least resistance. Upon first approaching the problem of reconstruction the German leaders visualized two distinct periods, the

period of transition to a peace basis, and the period of j

industrial and commercial expansion which would follow. An organization was therefore created to handle all economic questions pertaining to the transition period, but its functions have new been absorbed by the Imperial Department of Economic Affairs. Curiously enough there had never been a Department bf Commerce in the Imperial administration, commercial matters having been in charge of the Ministry of the Interior. The war brought a realization of the need of Euch a department and the Interior Department was divided. The extent of the powers and duties of the new Imperial Department of Economic Affairs is indicated as follows p. a report of our own Department of Commerce: "The new department Is to take charge of matters of social or commercial policy, matters affecting the welfare of the working classes, commerce, and shipping, as well as economic questions affecting agriculture and industry. According to the Deutscher Reichsanzeiger of November 5, 1917, the Jurisdiction of the department in matters of commerce embraces questions of commercial policy, commercial treaties, war economic measures (including retaliation), the economic aspects of the tariff and taxation, the economic aspects of -mobilization and demobilization, insurance, corporations, banks, stock exchanges, exhibitions, and matters concerning conditions of production at home and abroad, general statistics, statistics of the trade with foreign countries, weights and measures. The department will also be in charge of matters affecting marine and inland shipping, including the mail steamer services and the administration of the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal; war damages suffered by shipping; marine and inland fisheries."

Preaches German Revolution From the North American Review. ONE of the results of the German censorship is the dissemination within Germany of a very considerable body of clandestine literature. Many verboten books and pamphlets have been distributed widely along hidden paths, and this secret propaganda has on occasion produced radical outbreaks as in the case of the January strikes in Berlin and elsewhere. Perhajs the most daring form of underground agitation is that of the German revolutionists whose publications are printed in Switzerland and smuggled in all sorts of curious ways (as for instance in sausages and cigarettes) into Germany. Their colors are the yellow, red and black of "1S4S," though it is illegal even in peace limes to wear these colors or show the republican flag. In their secret pamphlets and their remarkable organ, Die Freie Zeitung, published at Berne, they declare for the overthrow of the imperialistic war lords, including the Hohenzollern rulers, and for the establishment of a German republic. The Entente, they say, is not fighting the German people, and would readily make peace with a German republic under a leadership which would repudiate the acts of those war fiends who have outraged the world with their crimes and have for almost four years demonstrated their inability to quench the conflagration which they have kindled. In spite of the campaign of persecution which has been carried on against this organization with the aid of the Swiss police (who are by no mean3 anti-German), its ingenious activities continue and the gospel of a coming revolution undoubtedly finds many willing ears.

No wonder the Russians hang back. Whenever one of them renders a conspicuous service Trotzky kisses him. There seems to be no end to the heroism of our boys over there. One of them has just married a French widow with nine children.

As the dear old lady back home says: "Henry writes me from France that he is going to try to get into the cscadrllle. I never thought he would take up dancing."

what a grand loafing spell the men are going to have after the war. The dressmakers' and schoolteachers' husbands used to have a monopoly on that sort of thing, but now we will have the steam riveters', conductorettes', truck drivers' and chauffeurettes' husbands. Maybe the old man is comijjg into his own at last.

A New York widow complains that she can't keep her little boy on $12,500 a year. What Is she going to do when he grows up, gets married and brings his wife home to live? If the women keep on taking up the essential work once performed by men.

It was the practice of a certain dame of noble birth to drive round at intervals to pay calls upon her acquaintances. As she suffered from gout she gave her card case to her footman and directed him at each home as to the number of cards he should leave on her behalf. Before sallying forth on one of these expeditions, and when she was comfortably seated in her sumptuous equipage, she made a discovery. "John," she cried to the footman, a new and rather raw specimen, "I have left the cards in the morning room. Go and get them." It happened that she had a large number of calls to pay that afternoon. At last, when the afternoon was drawing to a close, they halted before the palatial mansion of a noble duke. "Leave three cards there, John," commanded the invalid as her sector's head appeared at the carriage window. John looked embarrassed. " Train" I can't, m'lady," he replied. "You can't? And why not, pray?" "Well, there's only the ace of diamonds left, m'lady."

"I hope," said the mistress, "that you have given this matter very serious consideration." "Oh, yes, indeed I have, ma'am," said the girl very earnestly. "I've been to two fortune tellers and a clair

voyant, and dreamed on a lock of his Stine

hair, and been to one of those astro! ogers, and they all says to go ahead I ain't one to marry recklessly like, ma'am.

Apply for Enlistment Now, Urges Navy Recruiter Navy Recruiter Kienzle Thursday gave the following reasons why men should apply for enlistment at the present time: By making an application for enlistment you have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain. An application shows your patriotism and keeps you from being classed as 9 slacker. An examination at the present time may disclose some physical defect which would prevent you from enlistin later on, but which can be overcome If you act at once. If the new draft legislation permits voluntary enlistment In the navy, applicants will be ready for the final examination and transfer to duty. As a great many applications tre being written, those who delay, may find that they will be drafted before they have an opportunity to enlist. Due to the fact that we are losing 4.000 or 5,000 men a week by reason of enlistments being closed. It is thought that practically all ratings will be open, and men will be called rapidly to fill the vacancies at the training stations.

OF FRECKLE

Here's good news for freckle faced folks. A chemist who used to have aj large crop of freckles, kept trying one j thing alter another to remove the i blemishes. Finally he experimented' with danthol tetrate a drug that has j very few uses. As a result, he found j what is probably the quickest way to j clear the skin of freckles, tan and other discolorations. Any freckle victim can test this

method, by getting an ounce of danthol i

tetrate from any leading druggist. Apply it villi the finger tips. The skin seems to absorb it quickly, and it is harmless and pleasant to use. Some people have been perfectly amazed to find how quickly this chases the freckles away. It costs so little that any one can try it Adv.
