INVADING ENGLAND.
Nearly every industry in Great
Britain not favored by the protee-;
tion of import restrictions is trying j
to have itself “keyed." A “key” j
industry is on essential to British j
industry and considered so affected;
bv the war that it must be nursed!
■ j
back to health through the medium I
of government assistance.
The government did not remove
imDort restrictions September 1 on
products manufactured by so-called
British key industries. The ma
jority of manufacturers forced into
competition by removal of the re
strictions believed their industry
should have been in the favored
list.
Among these are the automobile
men, who have protested vigorously
against American machines coming
into England with a duly of 33 1-3
percent. British manufacturers ad
mit they cannot produce cars in
anything like the amount needed
within many months, so the Board
of Trad* so far has turned a deaf
ear to their protestations. In the
meantime. American cars are in
creasing in number on London't
streets and one American firm ad
vertises “delivery within forty
eight hours after order taken."
Duty, the difference in exchange,
and freight charges increase the
price of an American car in Lon
don to about double the price in
the United States, but that is not
deterring the Englishmen from snap
ping them up as rapidly as they
arrive.

TOO MUCH MONEY.
Not the least of the ills that :
beset Jugo-Slavia is the scrambled
condition of its paper currency. The ;
paper money of half a dozen coun
tries is in circulation in various,
parts of the kingdom of the Serbs, .
Croats, and Slovenes. In Belgrade j
itself, the “krone” of Austrian an- .
cestry is still the unit in which all
commodities are priced. {
The situation is further compli- .
c-aled by the fact that the ratio of
exchange between the different mon- ^
ev varies from day to day.
.
Indirectly, the chaotic currency ,
situation has aggravated the prob- j
lem of provisioning the country by .
impeding the movement of surplus
foodstuffs from one section to an
other. Farmers who possess a sur- ;
plus which they would willingly sell |
under stable money conditions, de- j
(line to barter them for paper j
whose value is one thing today and :,
another thing tomorrow.
ABSENT TREATMENT.
To show how scattered are the <
members of the provisional govern
ment of Korea, a correspondent of i
The Associated Press, writing from '
Tokio, says that Dr. Syngham Rhee, :j
the premier of the provisional gov- !i
ernment of Korea, is making his jl
headquarters in the United States; I
the foreign minister is in Paris; :
the minister of war is at Nikolsk, l
Sberia, and the other ministers and
vice-ministers are living in Shanghai, i
“The so-called parliament of this
government,” the correspondent
adds, “is made up of three deputies
from each of the thirteen provinces
in Korea. The provisional govern
ment’s advisors include two Ameri
can missionaries, one French law
yer, and an Indian scholar.
“Communication between the vari
ous branches of this provisional gov
ernment is being kept up. Money
remittances are being made through
i medium at Antung.”
:aptive okapi is
SENT TO ANTWERP
LONDON. — British naturalists,
vho have been confidently expeet
ng that the only live okapi in
-aptivity was to be brought to the i
roological gardens in Regents park, j
vere disappointed when the news •
■ame from Antwerp that the animal:
lad been brought there from the
'ongo by Dr. Lebrum. It was the
fift of Mme. Landaghem, whose
tusband is in the Congo medical
ervice.
The okapi is the survivor of a j
listant ancestor of the giraffe. An j
idult stands about five feet high,!
ind although it has the general
■hape of the giraffe, its neck is
datively shorter and its forelegs
ire not so high in proportion to
he hindquarters.
The sides of the animal’s hea 1
ire light fawn color and the gen- 1
ral coloration of the body is a j
lark purple. The most striking j
haracteristic is that the rump and
he upper part of the legs are ;
ransverselv striped with black and j
vhite. It was first known in 1901,
laving been found in the Semliki 1
orest, haunting low undergrowth j
.nd swamps.

iUGAR SACK BURSTS;
NEAR-RIOT IS RESULT
PARIS.—A truck driver was un-j
oading a load of heavy sacks at a )
estaurant in one of the boulevards;
ecently when one of them burst:
md its contents were spread over:
he sidewalk. A crowd gathered. |
)ne of the young men %vet his
inger and tasted the white powder. ’
“Great heavens,’’ he shouted, “it j
s sugar!’’
Then the pillage began. News
lapers, handkerchiefs, and women’s i
landbags served as receptacles for ^
he precious dainty. In a few min
ites there remained of that bag
>f sugar nothing but a white spot
>n the sidewalk, around which con- J
rregated little dogs.
Every one is allowed two pounds 1
>f sugar per month in France, upon j
uoduction of his sugar card.

EFFECTS OF WAf
BRUSSELS.—All Belgium is re
turning to work and the countr;
is recovering rapidly from the wai
In Brussels, factories which wer
damaged during the German oecu
pation are being fitted with ma
c'ninery, and some of them alread;
are turning out their accustome*
products to within a few percent o
their pre-war capacity.
Production of sugar exceeds th
pre-war tonnage. Glass factorie
are reopening. In the iron am
steel mills many plants have re
sumed operations, particularly ii
the Liege district, where some o
the mills were completely demol
ished and others so badly damage*
that entire blast furnaces had t*
be rebuilt. Within a year, it i
believed, the most important of thes*
plants will be operating to capacity
The cotton trade of Ghent als,
has resumed, and steamers loade*
with American cotton are arrivin;
almost daily. During the Germai
occupation all copper fittings wen
removed from the machines in th*
spinning factories, and some o
these have not yet been replaced.
The linen industry also has taker
on new life, and additional worker
are being employed every week. Th<
export trade in linen is growing
just as rapidly as the factories car
turn out the finished product.
It is in the country districts
however, where one sees the Be!
gian at his best. In the vast gar
den country which stretches front
Brussels to the sea scarcely a square
foot of ground is left uncultivated
so anxious are the people to pro
duce their own food, and they art
working from early morn until late
at night to attain that end.
Apparently there is no scarcity
of food in Belgium. It is costly in
towns and cities, but in the country
the people have now* gathered then
first harvest since the war. and are
in need of nothing. Even buttei
is being served in the hotels, and
in every house there is no longe:
the fear of starvation which for sc
many years made life a burden
Many persons are convinced tha1
this time next year will see the
country very well on the way tc
recovery.
Improvements will soon be made
on the Stickine river by the Canadi
an government. The Glenora rif
fles will be deepened also and snag?
removed.
