industry is still badly crippled and the crop area is to
be reduced to half its former dimensions. Britain has
already blocked the direct export of German goods and
the direct import of raw niaterlals by the North Sea, but
the ports ot' Holland anti the Scandinavia countries are
used to some extent by the enemy in trading with the
outer world, although wheat landed in lloiland is no
longer allowed to go to Germany by rail. By way of tying
tip still further the German tratiic with neutrals, tlte Brit-
ish Governtnent has just added a number ot’ commodities,
such as copper, rubber and ores, to the conditional con-
traband list; and London papers suggest that nickel should
be included. lt is used in making anintunition and armor
plate. (‘aiiatiiau iiit-kel is sent for the most part to the

The Krupp urmunient works are running night and

closed. because their foreign trade is as good as eut oft' aiitl
tiiehoiiieiniirket terribly itnpoverislied. The strain of carry-
ing troops anti etiuipnieiit is telling on the railways, but
a recent visitor says, they might as well be doing tliatl
as doing nothing, because the quantity oi’ goods offering
for private transport is “not worth ttientioning.” Ati in-
t-oiivertible paper currency has been resorted to with the
usual result, its purcliasing power at lionie is steadily de-
clining and foreigners refuse to take it at all. The prob-
leni ot' unenipioytnent is being haiidled by the tnunicipal
aiitiioi'ities with a fair measure ot' sut-cess; but when the
poor fellows ask when they itiay expect to go back to
their regular work, they are referretl to bulletins announc-
ing Gerinan victories or telling oi' the wontlerfiil perforni-
tiuees ot' the big siege guns. The new German loan,
amounting to over one tliousand million dollars, has been
subst-ribetl for at rates averaging sontetliing over i'i per
cent. On the oilier hand, the British Government is hor-
rowing at 2”-1,/Q, and the dit`i`t-reiiee speaks volumes. More-
over, while the Ilritisii loans were taken by bona iitle
private investors, it appears that when the German loan
was placed on the inarket the Goveriinient instructed the
(leriuau hunks as to what tintouuts they must apply i'or;
and as only ti fraction was absorbetl by their customers,
the banks are failing but-k on new issues oi` paper iiioney.

ably have been some vacillation anti

The king's heroic lint- of action is
