One of the unfortunate things about our war trade 1? thut It hub interfered with our going after the peaceful trade of the rest of the world. Wur order* have Het our factories to running at capacity and war profits liav<- dwarfed the returns of other forms of export business. Such orders have come easily. Orders In new markets come hard. U costs a great deal of money and takes a great deal of time to cultivate new trude op portunities of South America and th?' Orient and improve the old ones in neutral countries. Hut the war orders won't last for ever. When I hey stop coming, some of our manufacturers are going to have hard times for a while. With Kreut plants on Uu?r hands and stockholders accustomed to a high rale or earulngs, they may suddenly discover that they can no longer keep I hose pl.ints running or P?y dividends. There will bo a difficult time of re adjustment, while they're getting hack to n pence hnsls, lining up their old customers and doing the pioneer de velopment work that they should have been doing while the war was In progress. And that pioneer work will be immensely harder then, in the face of tho keen competition inevitable when the warring nations turn to the recapturing of their old markets. Permanent trade, which Is the only trade really worth having, Isn't hand ed to exporters on a silver platter as the war ordors have been. 8THEET-8 WEEPING AND PREACH INC. New York City experts have decided that $840 a year is the lowest income on which a workman's family of Jive people can maintain a decent stand ard of living. The figures are based on a study of tho city's street sweopors. Now, street sweeping is neSiher skilled nor an arduous occupation. In most cities tlto, street-cleaning Jobs are given to men considered unable to make a living In othT lines of work. It's interesting to learn, there fore, that a street sweeper in the metropolis deserves a couple of hun dred dollars a .year more than the average earnings of American work men throughout tho country. It eeema to follow thai moat American woi'.c ineu are paid less than they need' for "a decent living." And not only the workman. The averago pay of high-school teachers in small cities of the United States Is glvon by the Educational Bulletin of |745 a year?leaa than 'the present average of New York street sweepers. Hural school teachers in New York State get about $400 a year, and less than that In many States. New York State clergymen In 1910 averaged ?(; ;:: a year. Pennsylvania coal min ers are said >to average less than $450 a year. Of course, wages and salaries are higher In this country than anywhere else; but after all, they're nothing to brag of. ?TRUE AMERICAN SPIRTTV* A few days ago the Now York World showed, by documentary evi dence, that tho "Fatherland"?the pro-Qorman, anil-Amorican magazine published by Oeorge Sylvester Viereck ?had accepted money from Dr. Hein rich Albert, German privy counsellor and financial director of tho German propaganda in the United States. Bditor Viereck protested that the sum receipted for In tho published autograph letter, $260, was all he had got from Dr. Albert, although his own letter to the Herr Doktor had asked for $1,500 more and seemed to imply that he had previously been receiv ing similar monthly amounts. In any case, Viereck Insisted, the payment Wna legitimate. Dr. Albert declared: "It 1b not true that an effort has at any time been made secro.ly to Influence American public opinion," and that whatever had been done to win American sym pathy bad been done "in the open." It happens that there is another magasine published in New York call ed "Pair Play," which has been ac tlvoly pro-German during the war. Its editor is a Hungarian cftlsen named Marcus Braun, who 1b abroad now on a "secret mission." The New York World of August 21 prints a reproduction of a check for $5,000 made out to the Fair Play Printing and Publishing: Company oa May 28, 1015, bearing the signature of "J. Bernstorff," German ambassa dor to the United States. It will be interesting to see what explanation will bo' offered for that The World also prints a reproduc tion of a letter from Ambassador BernsfcorfT to Mr. Braun, dated March IS. IIIS, In which he says: "During the last seven months 'Fair Play* has, in its editorial policy, treat ed all fcelUjrereuts Justly aad thereby rendered great service to Ute millions of forelguborn Citizens of this coun try, especially of Ceniiun und Austro lltmgariau origin. 'Fair Play' lia? fought for the rights of the latter and for truth, nlwaya maintaining an American attitude and .-.howing tru?* American spirit." Perhaps the German Ambassador le u good Judge of what constituted "true American spirit." And perhaps he Isn't, it will occur to moat Citi zen?, and certainly to most editors, that there Isn't much "American npirlt" about any publication that will accept money from any foreign government on the face of the earth. The* York News coniOB to us this we I; 24 pages strong. A regular A'Z centimetre wliimpamper. it 1? called a "Home Coming Edition," and its publisher, the Ht. Hon. I). Watson Hell deserves nil manner of compli menta for Ulla noble exhibition of en terprise und patriotism. They itnlk about these European g?nerai? "leading" their arffiles Just like the generals were really leading instead of buing many miles to the rear and with all kinds of chances for a clean get-away In the event their armies are routed. "The homo coming day at Pelzcr was a great day; the sham battles were good, tho horse racing excellent and the baseball between Pc 1 or and Tucapau was a good game, the for mer winning. Always go to I'elzer on home coming day if you want to have a good time," stated Auditor Winton Smith yesterday. Mr. Smith was among those who attended Sat urday. Dealers In gasoline in this city have been notified to sell the oil r?t 18 cents for the present Instead ol 1C cents as has been the* price for the past few months. This Is an Increase cf two cents and will bo felt by auto mobile users and others. Anderson people will be Interested in the following from tho Asheville citizen la regard to Curtis McCoy formerly known as "Dig Mack," of tho Anderson baseball team In tho Carolina association: "Attacked by an unkno-.n negro at the corner of Blltmore avenue and 11IIHard's lane about 10 o'clock last night, Curtis McCoy right fielder of the Asheville baseball team, director of athletics of Wofford college, Spar tnnhurg, and one of the smith's best known athletes, was severely cut about the ithroat. Bleeding profusely, tho injured man staggered across the street and collapsed on the porch of a nearby building where he was seen by passersby who advised the police department McCoy was taken to the Mission hospital where an examination revealed the fact that ho was slashed from ear to ear on the back of the neck and from the left side of the throat to tho point of the chin. Physicians stated that the wounds are superficial and are not necessarily serious although tho in jured probably will be confined at the hospital several weeks He will be unable to play ball again this year and it is hardly probable that ho will be able to repont to coach the Wof ford bootball team on the date named for the beginning of practice, Septem ber 5. ??o Manager Plnkston stated yesterday that he woud postively open <the Para mount, in the future to be known as ?"The Jitney," and would put on a first class three reel comedy show for the price of five cents. Mr. Plnkston will have nothing but comedy pictures shown in this house and (Saturday he will U?ve a Charlie Chaplin and an Essanay. o The many friends of Lieut Ralph Pennell, formerly at this county, will be interested in the fact that r.fcortly he Is to be transferred to the Phil Urines. Mr. Pennell is the son of Mr. R. E. Pennell of the Ebenexer sec tion and for the past several months has been stationed in the United States army at Pont 8111, Oklahoma Lieut Pennell will sail from Sao Francisco on the transport, Logan, September 7, raid will go to Manilla. He will be located at Camp Stotens berg in the Phlltlplnes. e> . Manager Trowbridge stated yester day that he bad received a letter from J. A. Cohurn in which it was stated that it would be impossible for Co burn's minstrels to reach Anderson this season in time So play on the opening night Mr. Cohurn stated nj that Ilia show was booked up unitl February. ??o That is some show at the Palmetto ttilH week and the p?cule rff this city are shotting their appreciation by at tnding. Fotir performances have al ready been given and at each the house has been crowded. The company is made up of some leudlug minstrel show performers und singers of aient, E. F.

I Witty Foreman. Case and Comment. The foreman of a jury which sat in 1 a New England court room possessed a ready wit that served him well I" an encounted with a Judge of bril liant attainments. The Judge, although a man o ab 1 rupt spooch and manner possessed a ' quick sense of humor. The foreman . was late one day, only a few mtuutos late, but even that was' sufficient to irritate his honor, as ho afterward ' owned. ' "I overslept, your honor," said the I foreman, with due meekness, as he took his seat. "Fine hlmb." said the judge- testily. 1 "May it please your hnuor," said . theforeman quickly, "I did not dream of that." "Kumit the fine," said the Judgo hiding his mouth with his band for a moment, but his eyes betrayed him for ?11 that. - Practice.

ALL 6000 SOLDIERS Regiment Made up Mostly of Members of Exchange Pleas ed With Service, British Army Headquarters - iu Franco, Aug. 20.?Associated Press Correspondent.)?"We are in Bight of the trenches at last," said a privato in what is known as the Stock Ex change Battalion of one of the rcgl mentB of the New British Army. "It'B been a long pull in a hard market. But we never missed getting our shill ing a day and our wives have got their separation allowances regular 1y." There. are privates in the Stock Exchange battalion who have, names well known in the world of finance. Some of them have subscribed for tunes to the latest war loan. "At homo I have three bathrooms in my house and sixteen bedrooms," said one. "Out here I am glad to stand uup in line with a towel over my shoulder apd take my turn with the wash basin. As for sleeping on straw in a barn it. is paradise after a h ret march. I suppose we will get these other tilings, too, like everybody elsG doeB in. the trenches.'' "Bound to, though you have ten thousand a year," remarked another. "Maybe you have one in your shirt, now." "What interests us," said a divis ional staff olhcor, "is not that they are Stock Exchange men, but are they good Boldlers."' Many speak German as a result of international financial relation;?. "It would be odd," said one, "If I should be shooting at KaufTman who Is on the Berlin Exchango. We went to school together In Germany." Not all In the Stock Exchange batta lion are affluant or members of the Exchange, but all were recruited from the Stock Exchange district. As they march along a road In France, laden with dust, the twenty-five dollars n week clerk and the big broker are el bow and the observer can not tell one from the other. There is another battalion compose'! of artists, architects, musicians, and men of kindred callings. Many offi cers have been promoted both from ' the ranks of artists rifles and the Stock Exchange Battalion. Then there are battalions of miners, a sportsman and companies from the same factory and groups of..friends who enlisted in a body In order to be together during'the campaign. Officers who have been In the fight ing since the retreat from Mona are saying that the New Army is chang ing the whole face of life at the front. "We regulars all knew one anoth er," one explained. ."We were a sort of family. Whe nan officer was- kill ed if he wore not an old pal at least you knew who he whs. The names on the casualty lists of the New Army will he strangers.** Promotion has been rajtfd. Boys of nineteen who began as second lieutenants in the New Army are now first lieutenants. There are cap* tains who are scarcely of age. One knajo*, when officer meets another who was a major when he last saw him and finds that he is now a brldadler-General or {"brig-gen." in'army parlance. / Seeing a sign of a corps headquar I tors painted so well that it looked as if it bad been carved into the I wool, a passerby knew at once that it I was the work of a New Army man who was a professional sign painter. Be it a lawyer,-a plumber, a book keeper, a carphnter, a tailor or an en gineer that Is wanted one is always . forthcoming from the ranks of the New Army. The British regular, as a rule, knew only the trade of soi ' dieriag. Held As German Spy in Florida 7tr -W. Ordolph.
