KEROSENE IN
SERBIA SELLS
FOR $220 CASE
PIROT, Serbia, June 15 (by mail).
—Kerosene distributed with other re
lief supplies by Red Cross agents here
was received as if it were gold. A
short time before the mayor of Pirot
had paid $110 for a five-gallon can of
the precious liquid. During the en
tire Bulgarian occupation the inhabit
ants of this district had no lights in
their homes after sundown.
Bread had been selling at 50 cents
a pound, and the poor, unable to pay
such a price, were living on corn meal
and oats. Now, with the arrival of
tons of American flour and carloads
of other supplies, the situation is much
relieved.
Dozens of children have been found
in abandoned houses living on the
charity of neighbors. Mothers are
ready to give up their children to any
one who will give them food and shel
ter. There are thousands of orphans
with no one to care for them. The
number of widows is distressingly
large.
The famous rug-making industry
here is at a standstill, but the Ameri
cans are trying to re-establish the
peasants at their old trade. As the
Bulgarians took all the machinery,
metal and tools of any value, the work
ers in mechanical trades now are with
out implements.
GERMANS ARE AFTER
TRADE OF MEXICANS
COBLENZ, June 28 (Correspondence
of Associated Press).—The eyes of the
commercial world of Germany are di
rected toward Mexico, according to
German newspapers of recent date.
With reference to Germany’s pros
pective trade with Mexico, the Ger
man Anzeiger, which is devoted to the
chemical industry, says: “In Munich
there was formed in 1918 a German
Mexican society composed of educated
people. The purpose of this society
is to disseminate information about
Mexico, lend impetus to the study of
Spanish, bring about the teaching of
the German language and German kul
tur in Mexican schools; induce Mexi
can salesmen to visit Germany, and
induce Mexican youths to attend Ger
man universities. In March, 1919, a
similar society was organized in Ba
varia with a charter membership of
200 persons.
“In Renthingen there has been in
corporated the ‘Almeco,’ founded by
industrial firms, the purpose of the
organization being to facilitate ex
change of raw products and other com
modities between the two countries.
“Seventy-five per cent of Mexico’s
exports found their way to the United
States, which regards Mexico as its
warehouse. Of course those exports
will now go to Germany. Our first
duty is to secure from Mexico large
imports of raw material and not re
gard it as a dumping ground for Ger
man goods.”

PRINCE OF WALES
DOES A LITTLE
COALMINING
LONDON, July 1 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—Children
strewed with flowers the path of the
prince of Wales and bombarded dhis
automobile with roses when he visited
recently the coal mining section of
South Wales and went down into a
mine. The prince scored with the coal
miners of Rhondda valley by telling
them that ir was not his fault that it
was his first visit, and that his ab
sence was due to the war.
On his way to the mine he sur
prised one woman by asking to see
her house and garden. He stopped
his car when another woman held up
her baby to give him a rose.
Arriving at Cwymmer pit, the
prince donned the cap and overalls
of a miner, and gratefully accepted
from the foreman a silver safety
lamp, % the gift of the management.
Miners and their families crowded
around him and cheered while the
prince waited for the cage to rise
from the depths of the shaft.
Suddenly there was head the sound
of singing, apparently from the bow
els of the earth. The cage came in
view, bringing a small party of min
ers, black with coal dust, straight
from the toil of the pit, and singing
Welsh anthem.
When the singing stopped the
prince and his official guides stepped
into the cage and swiftly but very
carefully were lowered into the mine.
At the bottom of the shaft some
one had written on a bank timber
with white chalk, “Welcome to Our
Soldier Prince.” The prince was
manifestly pleased, and asking for
chalk, wrote beside it, “Thank you,”
and signed it “Edward P.”
Then they took him through the
mines, showed him the ventilation i
system which guards the lives of the
hundreds of men and boys while they
work, showed him the “working
faces,” where the miners were dig
ging coal, and explained to him some
of the difficulties attending the under
ground, life of the toilers.
He insisted on trying it himself,
and taking the pick handed to him by
a grimy old miner, struck a few vig
orous blows. Later, while thanking
the people for his reception, he said
he could appreciate the strenuous
character of a miner’s work.
