FRIDAY. U. S. Keeping American Business Informed on War Developments Which Reflect on Commerce Washington.—IThrough 1 Through clone co operation with department of the federal government here, the Cham ber of Commerce of the United States is keeping virtually the entire busi ness community of the country fully informed of all developments of tho European war that reflect directly upon tho commerce of the United Stales domestic or foreign. The national alliance of more than 600 commercial organizations was created early In 1912. The member ship of lho chamber stretches into every nook and corner of the coun try. Included In Its 600 allied organ izations are great and small chambers of commerce in every state and every commercially important city of tho Union. Their total Individual mem bership passes the quarter million mark and every line of Industry in the country Is represented Specific Information. With tho outbreak of the European war the need of specific Information as to Its probable and actual Influence on business conditions was very urgent. Under the direction of Elliott 11. Goodwin, general secretary of the National Ghamber, the clerical force already organised here to form a clearing house of national and Inter national information on business con ditions, was augmented and Its ener gies directed to meeting tho emer gency. The bi-weekly bulletins sent out to members were Increased in scope. They took up subject !<y sub pect of neutrality regulations, contra band proclamations by warring pow ers, congressional enactments to meet war emergencies as they developed, the hanking situation, tho cotton cri sis and every new factor affecting business, brought up by the war. GERMAN PLAN TO INVADE ENGLAND Naval Expert Saya Teutons Hope to Capture Dunkirk, Calais and Stretch of French Coast As Far As Cape Qrisncz London. -If. W. Wilson, tho naval expert, thinks the plan of Hermany tor Invading Krigland to an follows: "Hhe ho pax to capture Dunkirk, Ca lais, and the stretch of French coast aa far as Cape Grlsnez. Hhe would then run two lines of mines across the channel, the southern line from Cape Ohlsnez to Dungeness, the north line from near Os tend to Deal, Imme diately to the south of the present British mine-field. These of two chslns of mines will enclose tho Btralt of Dover and greatly hamper or prevent the patrol of the straits by the British warships. On the conti nental extremity the mines will he protected by the monster guns which Germany proposes to mount along [mT^^n'lN^^MPANYl SERVICE & ft _ [WAbTON PRINTING COMPANY! Twice a week members were advised specifically of developments in each case. The chamber lias a force of trained men at work among the de partments following up every clue to information and they run meeting willi ready assistance from depart ment officials. Home of the Informa tion sent out is of a very confidential character and lo protect it, publlca tion of the bulletins is forbidden. Increase of Trade. Now a systematic study of the for eign commerce of the belligerent pow ers to delormlno Just where openings lie for increasing American foreign trade has been begun. Additional bulletins are being prepared, country by country, showing, for Instance, Just what articles comprised Germany’s trade with her present enemies or with neutral countries now cut off from her markets. Exhaustive Inves tigation of American, Hrltlsh, German and other statistics for preceding years is being made anil lengthy com partlvo tables have been Issued. The v/ork is still going on and as It prog resses manufacturers of any article will bo able to see at a glance Just what opportunities await them in any country. Parallelled almost day to day with presentations of tho financial si!na tion in foreign countries, showing where morotorla exist and their du ration, what embargoes on exporta tion have been declared and to what extent war operations have Interfer ed with commerce In any direction, the charts are said to have proved of a most Illuminating character to the Amrelcan business world. They bring down to Specific details the broad In quiries of the government. the French and Belgian const when she has captured It. .Some years ago Sir I'crey Scott pointed out that tho then existing 12-Inch gun was able to throw Its shells across the Straits of I rover, and the Herman guns should have an effective range of eight of ten miles In clear weather." "Further protection against British mine-sweepers and trowlers would he given hy the Herman submarine, which presumably would he gradual ly brought down along the Dutch Coast, and which would concentrate In tho harbors of Osternl, Dunkirk, Hravellnes and Calais, and possibly by fast merchantmen, specially strengthened, with one or two heavy guns mounted. To the channel ports flat-bottomed pontoons would he moved hy the great canal system of Belgium and Northern France, and the troops would he towed over In them hy motor-launches and torpedo boats.” "Finally, when the preparations have been completed, the Herman fleet may he expected to move out and with It: best and most modern ships to rnei • the British Brand Fleet while Its older battleships and ves sels of comparatively small fighting vnluo proceed to the .Straits of iKivcr, and, If all goes as the Kaiser hopes, pass through the channel previously arranged In the northern chain of mines to cover tho landing."
