Rev. Charles T. Erickson, an American Hoard missionary whose opportunity in Albania has resulted in gifts of thousands of dollars by persons in this country, including $300 by members of the Centre Congregational parish of Brattleboro, to whom lie spoke 11 year ago, writes to the board concerning side glimpses ot the havoc he is seeing and of the swift interpretation of his mission When the European war broke out the American Board was oh the point of reopening and greatly enlarging its institutions in Albania, Rev. Air. Erickson already w-as in Switzerland on his way to his field.

His entrance into Albania was impossible for a time, and has been impracticable since. He writes: A few days ago 1 met a German friend who has been all his life in business in Calcutta. His business is rtiined; his brother whom he left in charge while he took a vacation is iti tv concentration camp at Ahmednagar. Our pnglish nui-se who is to lie head of our training school for ntuscs in Albania, writes us rhat her family's business is completely ruined, being Exclusively concerned with Germany and Austria. Here in Home is a typical family: Mother, English; Father.

German; of three daughters, two are married to Germans and one to a Bel gian and all three husbands have been called to their colors. While 1 was in Geneva there was at the Y. M. C. A.

At a quiet retreat up in the Carpathian mountains, close to the boundary lines of Germany.

Austria and Russia. 1 attended a student conference during the second week of August. One young man. son of a Jewish mother and infidel father, went out from the morning meeting into the woods and didn't return until evening, when he came home with radiant face. That evening, at the elosp of the address I invited to my room any who wished to dedicate themselves to foreign mission work.

Nine of tin choicest young people responded. It was a never-to-be-forgotten hour that we spent together. 1 saw visions of a new era for the student life and the Protestant Christian life of Austria-Hungary and of our Albanian mission. For the Protestant leaders in Vienna a few days before had formally adopted Albania Ins their mission field, to lie worked with our American Board and I under its direction and control; and, here were the recruits already offering themselves for the field. Teachers, preachers and kin dergartnpr a.

2 to January 30 through 15 principal customs ports which handle approximately Kti per cent of tiu nation's export and import business netted a balance in favor of the United States of exceeding- till records for any one month. The total exports for the four weeks, January 2 to 30 was $238,574,066. or an average of $56,645,524 week. The imports were $10 ,446,208 or an average of $26,860,052 a week. Officials of the department of com merce at Washington said last iiight that these figures represented onlv telegraphic returns from the principal customs ports and that when -complete reports were received from throughout the service, the value of business transacted last month would show a material increase about 1-1 per cent over the present figures.

Of the four weeks mentioned the last, ending January 30. produced a favorable balance of $35.001 .535. Accord ing to tin- department's records, tins shows the largest excess of exports over imports for any similar period for more than in years. Exports for this week totaled $65,668,156 and imports $27. it was explained by officials that the vonr 1608 produced the largest yearly excess of exports over imports, the fig ores being approximately $066,000,000, If the January rate of exports and im putts continues during Vhe calendar vonr of 1615, it was pointed out, an excess of more than would result.

Cotton exported during the wsg-k ending January 50 amounted to 5.87.775 bales, making a total of bales for the last eight weeks. CYRUS J. ESTABROOK DEAD. Barve Merchant Served in Many Civil War Battles. IIARRE, l-eb Cyrus .1.

Hitherto ttytl number of beef cattle in the I nite.jij States has declined steadily since There are also more milch cows inf the country than last year, the increase being 2.5 per cent. Oh January 1614. there were only 58,0:53,000 swiitje in the- country; rti January 1, 1015, 64.,6 18,000. This is accounted for by the) fact that the production of swine cat be increased more rapidly than that ofi any other clashes of live stock and consequently an eh larged demand can be met more read-i 1 The prediction ot: 50-eent meat and .410 shoes was accompanied by the ion rhat Fraiicjj alone has taken from America neatly .00.000 horses within the last live months and the oflter countries fit war have drawn upon our resources i the same tiro-portion. The facts are that more horses were on the farms of the United States on January 1, 1615, than there were a year before, the increase being 235, 000 head or Lb per cent.

So fur France alone hr.vibg taken 500,000 horses, fmm us, the total exports since the war began have certainly been much less than 100.000 and very likely not over 75.000. Since there are ap-prox'imatelx 25,000.000 horses altogether in the 'United States, the drain on account of the is scarcely alarming. It is, in fact, pointed out by government statisticians- that the market value of farm horses has actually declined to such an extent that the average is how about $6 a lietfd less than a year ago. This decline is most noticeable in the cotton states nod in those states) which make a business of breeding horses for sale in ot her sections. Mules have declined even more than homes, Hieir value being now $11.50 per head less than a year ago.

The explanation is to be found in the depression on account of the cotton situation in. the South, which is the great- market for moles. An improvement in this respect will do much to restore the demand for hoists, so that government specialists, while tidiculiiig the notion of a horse famine, are convinced, that farmers will find it profitable to u-w good work mates for breeding none-stock. As for hides. the situation is not quite so clear, blit even here there has been much gross exaggeration.

Fr.oiu two-fifths to less than one-half of the heather used in this country is imported, about 25 per cent of the 1 foreign hides retiming from Argentina, 15- percent from Canada, 14 per cent from Mexico, 84 Per eont from European-Russia, and 7H per cent from France. Since the outbreak of the war importations have shown a certain falling off. those for September, 1614, for example, being only 34,000.000 pounds, instead of 45,000,000 pounds the year previous. There is, however, little reason to suppose that this decrease will be permanent or of sufficient importance to create any real scarcity. Since the great bulk of the imported hides Oines from countries that are not at war, shipments are not interfered wfith iti any way.

and tip only now factor to he considered is the possibility of an increased demand by the waning countries. It is believed. however, that the United States is now in better condition to face such a situation than for years past. The tide, it seems, has turned. Instead of live stock steadily decreasing year after year, this year for the first time, as has been said, all classes show an appreciable increase.

Including horses, mules, milch cows, beef cattle, hoep, and swine, there were on January 1, 1015, 7,712,000 more farm afiimals in the United States than on January 1, 1014. Tire increase in the total value was "$78,024,000, of IvSf per cent. It is quite true that this increase is not yet proportional to the increase in population, which is approximately 2 per efjjpt that here, is an inc-roasy, that the tide seems definitely to liave turned, is regarded as a sufficient answer. to alarming exaggerations qjgda misleading I FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH THIS EVENING FEB. 3 The Brattleboro Woman's Chib Display and Show CARD WRITING SCOTT L.

At last wo found it: four hundred -yards in front, of ns in the open were several prominent tufts of grass; one of ray men fired into one of these tufts, and a striper-fell-into view mortally wounded. A hundred yards to the right was another tuft which we demolished with a fusillade of shots. When it was dark wo found there two dead Germans, who wore warmly clad and wrapped in rugs. We decided to imitate the tactics of the Germans.

Two of our men volunteered to become water- rats, as the Germans had become field mice.
