TWO NEED RELIEF II icy umnoß Inhabitants Destitute---Cargo of Supplies cm Way —-No Mar ket For Fish-—Serious Condi tions. St. John*, N. Fj— Relief* for the dei»- tttuto Inhabitants of .tho 'barren Lab rsdor region has been undertaken by the New Koundland government. The steamer Kyle, now plovidbK her was through the ice-laden waters off the Labrador coast, Is carry Iran a cargo of provisions to Sandwich bay, which is about a hundred miles north of Hat tie Harbor, whore Dr. Wilfred T Gren fell maintains his mission suction and hospital. The Kyle was chartered bjn the gov ernment after word had been received from Dr Grenfell and others of the serjous conditions prevailing? In Lab rad < *r. Because the const wtis choked With ice as late as August 1. with re sultant low temperature on loud, the Cod and other large fish were hoo tor fld to uoesh In the nets or latest bait, .be smaller fish held far off shore, potato plaints did not appear above the (round and the berry crop was practically a failure. The people had nothing to iftv on but bread and tea. There was a monlh of good flshuig, then winter set In again. With the outbreak of the war tn Europe the market for Jaihradur fish was almost completely cut off and there was a rise In the price of food stuffs which made the cost of flour, sugar, meat and butter prohibitive to the Impoverished flabormen. The war also led to the sus pens lon of operations In railway constructhm in New Found - land and the dosing of mines at Fyd ne.v and B*He Isle, where many of the Labrador men have gime la recent years for winter employment. The big fur companies are hcNttutlng to buy any pelts in the present condition of the market. Labrador thus was left without any source of Income and Us Inhabitants faced starvation. Tu ad-1 to the suf fering a severe epidemic of influenza Is ruglng. The relief measures Insti tuted by the New Fmmi And gvivern rnctlt will help the situation somewhat and w II tide the pcoptd over until next summer. funehaTnotices ] )!KU-A r lI.EPIIZJRAH. <3 A . j >*its 1914.

GET UP AND GET IT An order was placed in Now York yesterday for Fivo Hundred Thousand Dozen—Six Million Pairs— of Truckmen’s (i loves. These goods are designed for the British and Flench soldiers at the front. Deliv ery is to be made as soon as possible. Enormous ord< rs have been placed for Fleece- Lined Cotton Underwear for immediate delivery and the mills which have received the orders are now striving night and day to fill them. While tlve American Manufacturer, big and lit tle, is straining his utmost to make munitions of war, what of the demands of the neutrals? Trade in munitions oi war is a feverish sprint for the immediate, mightily needed dollai and the Ameri can Manufacturer is to be congratulated upon the re ceipt of his share of the orders. Trade with neutral nations means a steady, prog ressive, illimitable, ending* growth in a market where there is at present practically no competition. When the war is over the American Manufacturer who es tablishes himself now will find that he cannot be dis placed because the quality of his goods will keep the market open. No goods, however excellent, will sell themselves. The American Manufacturer who does not bestir him self to get in touch with new customers, at home and abroad cannot develop his business.

Franklin and Special Bailiff Cook of the superior court are feeling very good over the records they have recently made. During the past six weeks there have been sessions of the superior court at which the state has shown to splendid advantage. Out of a total of 95 cases of all kinds considered there have been pleas of guilt or convictions in 91. There have been a total of 14 murder cases tried and only two defendants have been acquitted. The solicitor general says that in these two cases there was very little evidence against the par ties anyway and that the homicides seemed to have been justifiable. There was one conviction for mur der In the first degree, Ham Rhodes now being under sentence to hang for the murder of Walker Green. There were a number of sentences for man slaughter. while Henry Itabnn was given a life term in the penitentiary for the murder of John James, CAN’T BUY SLEEPING QUARTERS OR FOOD Ponchary.—The civilian visitors to any village near the firing line are usually compelled to sleep in the ve hicles In which they rame. As to get ting anything to eat or drink, this Is almost Impossible. The restaurant or Innkeeper always declares that all food has been requisitioned by the soldiers. If the visitor has brought his provis ions with him. he may eat them at the Inn. Ihjl nothing can b« cooked in the pluce owing to lack of fuel. The visitor may not go out Into the streets between 6 o'clock tn the even ing and 5 o'clock In the morning, so severe are the restrictions of martial law. Should he break the regulations, he Is arrested and kept tn the gendar mery until an escort has been pro vided. which accompanies him to some city fur to the rear, and ho Is put un der parole not to approach the linos again during the campaign.

The balance of trade In favor of this country for the 11 months ending with November is afiproximcOelv (184,247,- 000. This shows a hi- lihy increase in the International situation so far as the United States is affected when a comparison is made with the official returns for September and October. In September with the European war In the second month of Its life the bal ance of trade In favor of the United States was a little in excess of $16,- (>OO.OOO. It increased to about $57,- 000,000 In October and to $70,990,000 in November, according to the figures of the Department of Commerce, Officials say (heir advices concern ing export trade, which are as yet In complete for November bear out thetr prophecies that the export business is destined to boom at a tremendous rate in the next few months.

Paris—A French lad who was study ing in Germany when tha war began and has just managed to return here today told some interesting facts about the way the German Zeppelins are being concealed. "The Germans are manufacturing Zepepltns and likewise nangars for them as fast as they can, In prepara tion, they say, for some big attempt," said the boy, who is about 15 years old. "They do not fear attacks on them when not actually In the air from flying machines; that is, when they are hidden in their hangars. Two Kinds. "There are two kinds of hangars— those generally used and the secret hangars. The usual ones are those which can be located, perhaps by hos tile aviators. In these the aircrafts men keep their materials and do their work and make repairs. They have in these places also their implements and tubes of oompresaed gas; at any rate, they hav© piles of tubes stored away. "But the airships ready for use are elsewhere. The Germans have made huge subterranean excavations, in which the dirigible balloons are kept ready. They are hidden from view by an Ingenious device. A superstruc ture Is built over these deep cavities in the form of a light skeleton frame work, which is walled round and roof ed over with a sort of rough canvas material. This canvas is painted to resemble stucco or bricks. The build ing looks at a little distance Just like a factory for ordinary industrial pur poses. Canvas Church. “I saw one of these sham factories with a canvas ehimney and Imitation windows and doors all complete to de ceive the eye. At a little distance no one would believe that a huge Zeppe lin Is stored away underneath, "I could not see inside, of course, for no stranger can go near, but I listened to what people who knew had to say and pretended to pay no atten tion. Inside, there Is, they say, a roof ing over the airship strong enough to protect the cruiser from ordinary bomb-throwing. I heard a story that another was disguised under a canvas church. “But,” said a member of the building committee to the architect, "you have n't r single spire on the church.” . “No. In these days of advanced civi lization it is better to build your church es war-proof."—Detroit Free Press.

GOVERNMENT TO HELP GEORGIA HOG RAISERS The modern method of solving agri cultural problems by investigating them, not only In the laboratory, but also on the farm In co-operatlbn with the farmer, has given such admirable results that it is to be applied to the anti-hog-cholera crusade. Congress has appropriated a half million dollars to carry on the work and experiments will be made In all parts of the United States. The aim will be not only to exterminate the disease in the test sections, hut also to discover the most practical, effi cient and economical methods for con tinuing the work throughout the coun try'. This investigation will fill a long felt want In Georgia, as the hog death rate in this state from cholera is 90 per 1,000 head and hog raisers are los ing an average of 180,000 hogs, valued at $1,476,000, from this disease annu ally. ONLY PAPEr'”wITH U. S. NEWS, PETROGRAD, CLOSED Petrograd.—Quite recently the Rus sian government suppressed the German Petrograd Gazette which has been pub lished here for some time past. The reason for this action is difficult to find, as the policy of the paper distinguished itself by strong patriotic feeling evetf since the war began. It was, moreover, the organ of the nobility of the Baltic provinces. Its sup pression is said to be due to the deter mination of the government not to allow any publication in the German language to continue during the war. Many Am ericans residing here will have reason to begrpt the disappearance of the “Ga zette, ’’ as It was the sole paper pub lished there which contained a regular bulletin of American news and had been rKIDAY, DECEMBER 4.
