THE HAGUE, March 17. — The
j Dutch minister of war, reporting in
the Second Chamber of the Dutch
parliament, says that 36,679 persons
were prosecuted for smuggling goodsj
into Germany last year. Forty thou
sand soldiers were employed to pre-i
vent smuggling, but because of the
600 mil' s of frontier they tiad to pa
trol. many of the smugglers were able
_ I to do a brisk business with the peo
’ pie across the border. The wiles of
I th« smugglers tire many and the in
genuity which they tiring to their trade
jit is said would fit them for till the
! | higher reaches of diplomacy,
j Heather was smuggled inside barrel*
j of mussels, balls of rubber insiih the
j outer shells of onions and baa of
' meal got up to represent sleeping ba
bies were sent over tile border. Hun
dreds of thousands of the frontier.
> population were after the beginning of
p the war engaged in the lighter forms
of the prescribed traffic. Bribery of;
j the frontier guard Is said to have been
the method tried most frequently
The strip of country along the utri
otis frontiers is now declared in a
state of siege and the military com-;
'Inlanders order the whole life of the
.community. They have resorted in
some regions to banishing all umicsir
able persons. The number thus de
jprlved of their right of residence last
| year is 1,297.
A bill passed recently limits sup
plies for the border towns to quanti
ties that were normal before the war.
!The authorities carry out the anti
smuggling laws in a most drastic way,
I realizing that the traffic was endan
gering the country's overseas supply
j by awakening the distrust of the til
! lies.

SEATTLE. March 17. — Prospect
, ors who have located deposits of an-j
timony. copper or tungsten and who
are grubbing away in an endeavor toj
erect perfect mills and establish per-j
feet mining methods before market
■ ing their product, are making a sad
mistake in the opinion of Dean Mllnor
Roberts, of the University of Wash
ington college of mines. He advises
them to get what they can to market
at once, while prices are particularly
advantageous.
The war. Dean Roberts says, has
resulted in an abnormal demand for
these ores, and high prices have na
turally resulted. Though under ordi
nary circumstances it would be pro
per to attempt complete development,
there is no need of delay now. Big
companies will buy antimony, tung
sten and copper ores in any form, and
treat them themselves.

ROTTERDAM. Netherlands. March
17. ■— A stir has been made In the
Dutch metal Industries by the latest
Berman export measure. which |
amounts to the annulment of running
contracts of Dutch firms with the

Berman iron foundries and threatens,
the firms in question with the loss of
millions of dollars.
Many of them are already turning |
to England and Scotland for their rayv ••
iron supplies, and would doubtless. I

LONDON. March 17. Ii is absurd £
;o talk about capturing C.crmnn trade f
mil meeting foreign competition after T
he war, wlien so much harm is now T
lone to tile British elementary schools £
n the name of public economy, de ♦
dared T. Oautrey. secretary of the 4

♦
nterview. ♦
"Kducation is being raided la-cause £
t is so easy to do it.' he said, "but
hose who are doing it have no vision _
or the future welfare of the empire,
vliich must rest first on national ef
icletuy. A sound elementary e.dura
ion is the tiase on which all forms ||j:
if higher education must tie built.
-specially those of a more practical £:
diameter than are now supplied."
The war savings committee of the
l.ondon County Council has instruct
ul the education committee to effect g:
i saving of $2.000.OOP in the coming £:
fiscal year, beginning April 1. This
also means the stoppage of all build
lug propects, which in normal times
amounts to at least $2,500,000. The j:j:
county would thus save $4,500,000. on jg
education the next school year. it
