ENGLAND MAY
RELAX IMPORT
RESTRICTIONS
LONDON, June 17 (by mail).—The
automobile section of the American
Chamber of Commerce in London has
made representations to the British
Board of Trade with the view of hav
ing the import restrictions on Ameri
can motor cars further relaxed, if not
entirely removed. At present the im
portation of motor vehicles and parts
thereof is limited to 50 per cent of
the 1913 imports up to September 1,
1919, in proportionate monthly quanti
ties.
Sir Aukland Geddes, president of
the Board of Trade, informed the au
tomobile importers that no increase
in imports could be allowed at pres
ent, owing to the necessity of guard
ing the future of sterling exchange on
America.
Sir Aukland said that the Board of
Trade could not consider any one
trade or industry by itself, but must
look at everything writh a view to the
best interests of the nation. From
this point of view the matter of main
taining Great Britain’s financial posi
tion, and therefore the position of her
exchanges, was the essential consid
eration.
The American Chamber of Com
merce here announces, howrever, that
the government has promised to re
view the entire import and export po
sition on September 1, and that the
Board of Trade has agreed to a con
cession in favor of importers not rep
resented in 1914, but who have since
established sizable businesses depen
dent on automobiles from America.
SKIMPING ON CLOTH
FOR SCOTTISH KILTS
LONDON, June 26 (by mail).—Cur
tailment in the amount of cloth used
in the kilt worn by Scottish troops
has saved $115,000 to the government.
The Scottish troops did not resent the
innovation, and to all appearances
their kilts are as full and as pic
turesque as ever.
No one should be without an elec
tric plate, especially the kind with 3
different heats. Nort^western Hard

BIG PAGEANT
IS STAGED BY
COLLEGE MEN
OXFORD, England, June 26 (Cor
respondence of Associated Press).—
It fell to Oxford to inaugurate Eng
land’s peace celebration with a joyful
Victory pageant, and thirty-odd Amer
ican soldier students took part in one
of its most stirring episodes.
“The Allies and the British Empire”
was the subject .of the vast drama,
which was dedicated “to the valiant
living and the noble dead who fought
to bring about the peace of the world.”
The scene was the university’s foot
ball field, a huge lawn with a back
ground of noble old trees.
Belgium, Serbia, France, Japan,
Italy and America were the allies rep
resented, and the pageant laurels fell
to Japan and America. The Japanese
scene was a cherry blossom festival,
in which 700 children, wonderfully ar
rayed, participated.
The American episode, a mixture of
history and allegory, was the signal
for the first martial note sounded by
the pageant, and it stirred the
big crowd to a high pitch of enthusi
asm.
"Tne urn country ana tne i\ew, jrao
and 1917,” the episode was termed.
The first scene represented a pier of
Bristol quay and the departure of the
caravel to take John Cabot and his
sons to the new world.
In the next scene, “1917,” the Ameri
can flag was depicted as waving over
the land the Cabots went to find. Her
alded by the Spirit of Freedom, sym
bolized by a young Englishwoman in
a flowing white robe, America joined
with the allies in resisting the com
mon danger. Then a detachment of
the United States army student sol
diers marched out on the field, with
Old Glory waving in the evening
i breeze, a thrill of admiration seized
the spectators, and they jumped to
| their feet, cheering.
A gay interlude was the “Banbury
Revels,” showing a country holiday of
the time of Queen Elizabeth, and illus-i
trating songs and dances of old-time
Merrie England. There were May
poles and a Ma. queen in scarlet dress
and yellow hair of remarkable length,
who rode a cock horse to Banbury
Cross. It was a children’s frolic. In
all, more than 2,000 children were seen
in the pageant.
A notable scene was a Serbian vil
lage spinning meeting, features by na
tive songs and dances. The chief per
formers were Serbian students resi
dent in Oxford.
The pageant was concluded with a
grand march of war workers.
