Germans Dominate Turk
Markets by Trickery
Washington, Nov. 7. German
business trickeries to dominate the
Turkish markets are described in a
. bulletin issued today by the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce.
The Germans are master imita
tors, according to the author of
the reports, Consul General G. B.
Ravndal, formerly at Constanti
nople. Dealing particularly with
hardware, he says American prod
ucts in normal times are sold not
directly to Turkish distributors,
but through a few firms in Ham
burg and Bremen which have
branches in New York.
Sometimes the catalogues of
these concerns show American ar
ticles on one page and German
imitations on the other, with the
advantage of reduced price and
quick delivery of the German goods
conspicuously indicated. Despite
these conditions, the American
products gained an important po
sition in Turkey before the war,
solely on their'merits.

plans regarding the government of

tween Finland and Russia, Finland
to remain annexed to Russia, but to
have its own legislative institutions
and government. Also it-is to be de
clared a republic with the supreme
executive power entrusted to an
elected ruler.
"War and peace making power is
to be vested in the state jurisdiction
conformable to the Russian funda
mental laws. Foreign treaty making
power is conceded to the Russian
government. The legislative power
will be exercised by the diet, in con
junction with the ruling head. The
general administrative power will be
exercised by a ministerial council."

Saving for Newspapers
Who Ship by Express
Washington. Nov. 6. Newsnaoer
publishers were told by Internal
Revenue Commissioner Rnner tnrtav
thai the war tax of 1 cent on each 20
cents or fraction of that amount
charged by express companies would
be assessed according to charges
based on bulk weight of newspaper
bundles, and that it would not be
necessary to weigh each package
separately to determine the individual
charge and tax. This ruling, which is
subject to review by Secretary Mc
Adoo, will mean a saving of time and
money to publishers using express
companies for distribution.

First American Hunger Strike
Among Suffragists Is Under Way
(By Associated Tnm.)
Washington, Nov. 7. The first
hunger strike in the American agita
tion for votes for women is under
way. , :' '.
, Alice Paul, national chairman of the
woman's party, now doing a seven
months sentence in jail here for pick
eting the White House is the striker
and tonight she had been in the jail
hospital without food for the preced
ing 24 hours, stolidly threatening to
starve herself to death unless her six
compatriots, serving time for the
same offenses, get better food.
So far the jail officials are taking
the strike calmly and waiting for Miss
Paul to get hungry enough to eat.
Forcible feeding has not been dis
cussed as yet. But inasmuch as Miss-
raw made somewhat of a record for
bage, but she announced she would
have none of it until her sisters got
the same.
Although the militants have an
nounced they will not resume pick
eting the White House until con
gress reconvenes in December they
consider that a hunger strike is a
sufficient climax for the present at
least to their efforts to force Presi
dent Wilson to endorse woman suf
frage by constitutional amendment.

thought. Certain bodily functions upon which
good health and good spirits so much de

you only know how, this trouble can be
obviated.

standard, old-time home remedy, 'and needs

Germany Reaches a Crisis in Man
Power; War Cannot Go on as Before
(By Associated Frest.)
Washington, Nov. 6. Cable reports reaching here from Switzerland
say Germany has reached the crisis so far as its man power is concerned1.
For three years, according to these dispatches, Germany has lost on an
average of 1,200,000 men annually and this number will at least be equaled
in 1918.
It is contended that to continue the war on the same scale for another
year, the Germans must have at their command a reserve of at least
2,000,000 men, whereas they actually will have a reserve of only 1,500,000.
