AFRAID TO LET GERMANY mm.
The luolites of some of the neutral
have been balancing
themselves on the war fence seem to
have been misjudged. it is assumed
until lately that they were merely
waiting to see which way victory was
inclined so they could jump to the
winning side and share the spoils
'i‘hcy are eager enough dor spoils, um
doubtodly, bill it is becoming plain
that they are not altogether sordid.
itzlly, as we have seen, entered the
war not, when her enemy was down
and out, but when Austria after sev-
elnl months of hard luck, was "coro-
illg back," when Germanyfs show of
power was greater than otter, wbcn
Russia was meeting with disaster in»
the Carpathians, when France was
making no headway, when Great Bri-
tain was marking time and torn :by
internal disseusion, when the Allies
had been seriously checked at the Dar.
dollelles And now, on the hels of her
entrance, and 11 h1le the Allies fortunes
are still uncertain, it is reported that
7 Bulgaria and Roumania are near to
making the same decision.
it appears that one of the strongest
motives actuating those nations is the
fear that Germany and Austria may
win. They are convinced that the de-
feat of the Allies would be a misfor-
tune-for them selves. They are frank-
15! afraid of the Central European pow-
:‘ors, beleiving that regardless of pro-
mises, a Gemnlmtic victory would be
' followed by aggressions againstthem.

NO REAL PROFIT IN WAR. ‘
The European belligerents, especial-
ly the two that are interfering most
with our commerce, are convinced
that we are getting rich out of the
war, and that conviction has a good
deal to do with their petulant treat-
ment of our trade protests.
If we are getting rich, it isn't
merely because we're profiting, even
unintentionally, from the misfortunes
[of the warring powers. Most Ameri-
can economists agree that we should
have been in a better business condi-
tion than we are if there had been
no war. That view is supported by
the fact that every hint of peace
and
event that seems to portend
curitios in the stock, market,
every
11 prolongation of the struggle has a
bearish“ influence. ”
Foreign trade figures sweep away
any misconception 111-1 to the share
ilhat war orders have had in reviving
American business. According to the
statement of the federal department
of commerce, 0111' total exports of
manufactured articles for the war
Ilperiod so far are less than for simi-
llar periods in peaceful years. The
'11et increase in cm exports has been
our solely to the marketing of our,
big wheat surplus. The war helped
ito make that market, to be sure, and
’yet that advantage was counteracted
'by the crippling effect of the war on
the cotton industry. Our enormous fu-
vorable balance of trade has been due
more than anything else to, the fact
lthat we were unable to obtain our
'nsual quantities of imports, and that
lack in ltself has seriously ,hampcled
luanv of our industries.
it mayfailly be said that our busi-
ness recovery thus far has been less
on account of the war than in spite
of the war. Our great crops, together
with the need of replenishing manu-
factured supplies of all kinds after a
long period of slack production, and
the encouraging understanding and
cordiality arrived at between business
and governmentyail seemed to create
the groundwork of a new period of
development such as no merely poll-
ticul events could altogether destroy.
The outburst of war nipped in the bud
“that appeared to be a genuine busi-
ness revival. Now the revival is coul-
ing again, with a prospect of growth
which the war will help in some re-
spects, and hinder in others.
t Our manufacturing exports are now
steadily increasing, and unless inter-
rupted are likely to be a much «bigger
factor in .foreign trade history during
’the next few months. But however
much stuff we may sell to Europe for
military purposes, we wish that Eu-
rope would understand that we'd be
better off inn business way if- the
war would stop, and that even if 0111
prosperity depended solely on the
war we’d work and pray for peace
just the same.

BERLIN, May th—Nulnerous legal
actions ‘agahlst'dltizens of countries at
war with vGermany continue to occupy
the attention or the local courts, not-
withstanding that the war now is al-
most ten months old. Many of the

for long before hostilities commenced,
or on other contracts that,,q’uite na

probable length of hostilities that he

make a visit to her family and then
come back into his service~which
be estimated would be within a few.

Patiently the maid has waited ten
months, seeking no other position ill
the meantime. At last she is tired
of further delay, and asks the court
to award her 312 marks from the mit-
