LEIPZIG FAR
VALUABLE INDEX
Exhibition Afforded idea of
Conditions in Germany.
A despatch from London says:—A
valuable index of industrial and com-
mercial conditions in Germany after
the war is afforded by a report com-
municated to the Daily Newsby a
qualified observer who attended the
recent great fair at Leipzic. The
Whole- fair showed the desire of the
German nation to work and recover
itself, but everywhere one was struck
with the hopeless dependency of. Ger-
many on'foreign raw materials and an
increased cost output. In fact, with
German glass, pottery, textile, leather,
toy and many other industries closed
down or operating at five per cent. or
ten per cent. of their normal output;
due to the inability to buy raw mater-
ials at the present value of the mark,
the fair gave direct evidence of Ger-
many's very difficult position.
-From conversation with the ex-
hibitors the impression was gathered
that nearly all branches of German
industry are on the verge of bank-
ruptcy, due, principally, to the short-
age of coal, and secondly, to the loss
of export trade, which carries with it
inability to purchase the much-needed
foreign raw materials.
To assist in forcing a wedge into
foreign markets German manufactur-
ens have concentrated on new mechan-
ical devices and novelties, which were
much an evidence at the fair.
Most of the German representatives
are inclined to the opinion that they
would recover their ' export trade
through American and neutral buy-
ers. Much as they would prefer to
re-establish their pre-war trading con-
nection with England, they feel that
at present, because of English hostil-
4ty towards then, they had better con-
centrate on Ameeican and the neutral
nations surrounding Germany. Prices
are approximately from 200 to 300 per
cent. above their pre-war leveal. •
King of the Belgians Ran
••
Engine on Royal Train
A despatch from Chicago says:—
The Ring of the Belgians ran the en-
gine of his train for ten miles. The
train on which the Bing and his party
are travelling westward was stopped
at Wauseon, Ohio, while his Majesty
climbed into the cab of the engine and
took over the throttle from the grimy
pilot,
The Ring, who has a thorough
knowledge of locomotive engineering,
ran the heavy train for ten utiles with-
out a jolt. Then he stopped the en-
gine and returned to his car,
Peace Treaty Awaiting
The King's Proclamation
A despatch from London says:—
Great Britp,in's ratification of the
Peace Treaty, the Foreign Office says,
awaits only the King's proclamation,
All the Dominions have ratified the
treaty, the Australitan House oil Sep
tember 19 and the Senate.
PREPARING FOR
NEW VICTORY LOAN
Many Active Workers Volun-
teer Services For the Big
Campaign.
Reports from chairmen of the Pro-
vincial Committees all througli the
country indicate that. the Victory
Lean organizatic,n is getting warmed
up for the campaign. A. notable
feature is that voluntary effort is
proving available to an extent which
compares favorably with the previous
campaigns; In the Province of Ont-
ario, for instance, it is reported that
already, out of the 62 county chairmen
for last year's campaign, acceptances
for acting in the •same capacity this
year have been received from 43 of
them, while others are not yet heard
from finally,yrrhile a few of course find
that specie' -circumstances this year
do not leave them as free to act' as
they ,were in previous campaigns.
British Columbia reports that volun-
tary workers are available in large
numbers, while the campaign in that
province etas a strong military flavor,
with Brig. -Gen: Odium as vice-chair-
man for the province and Brig. -Geo.
Clark, -chairman for the city of Vic-
toria and the island district. It is
reported that there is a. growing ap-
preciation throughout the country of
the necessity for making the loan an
abundant success in order that there
may be no setback to the prosperity

His Job.
A politician, who is a great walker,
was out enjoying his favorite recrea-
tion. After going a few miles he sat
down to rdst.
"Want a 1ilt, mister?" asked a good.
natured fanner driving that way.
"Thank you," responded the politi-
cian• "r will avail myself of your of-
fer.'
- The two rode on in silence for a
while. Presently the fernier asked:
"Professional man?"
"Yes," answered the politician, who
was thinking of a., bill he had pending
before the House. After another long
pause the farmer observed:
"Yon ain't a lawyer, or you'd be
talkin'; you ain't a doctor, 'cause yen
ain't got a bag, and you ain't a preach-
er, from the looks of you. What is

Canada and Norwegian ports becomes
an accomplished fact. Full cargo has
been booked, consisting of cereals,
provisions, radiators, canned goods,
apples, etc. The ports of call in Nor-
way will be Trondhjem, Bergen, Sta-
vanger and Christiania, the first -
named port being the headquarters of

BELGIAN' INDUSTRY
RAPIDLY REVIVING
Country Bids Fair to be the
!Rot iaa Europe to Recover
k'roixa War's Ravages.
Belgium, the first country overrun
by the Germans, hide {'air to be the
fie et to rehabilitate herself. IIer Basle
mdu.st'ries are rapidly getting back to
normal and her exports of commodi-
ties since the •signing of the armistice
have been at a growing rate, which
indicates that within e reasonable time
Belgipm will be standing on her own
feet in the commercial world,
"The coal mines of Belgium were
not damaged," ehe report says, "as the
invader meant to keep them, but they
suffered abnormal wear and tear, par-
ticularly upon their hoisting cables,
whine have to be replaced. The oatput
at Abe beginning of 1919 was -60 per
cent: of the pre-war total. 'It is now
84 per cent..:
"The two causes which delayed the
complete restoration of this industry,.
viz., insufficiency of transport and
ciirninutiou of the productive capacity
of the wookmon, are gradually disap-
,pearing, and we feel that we can say
we shall soon reach the pre-war fig-
ures, as far as total output is con-
cerned. Belgium es already able to
export coal to her neighb'or's to the.
following amounts: Three hundred
thousand toils monthly •to• Prance, 50,-
000 to Italy, 10,000 to Holland anti
50,000 to Switzerland, making a total
of 410,000 tons monthly, or 4,920,000
yearly, This assures to Belgium a
yearly income of more than 200,000,-
000 francs, a rather important factor
toward the rehabilitation of the ex-
change,
"Our iron works suffered dismantl-
ing and destruction, •Several years will
be necessary for complete repair, al-
though work is already under way
everywhere, and is being carried on
with great energy, In 1914, there
were fifty-two blast furnaces in Bel-
gium, producing 2,300,000 tons of pig
iron, twenty-three of these were to-
tally destroyed and ten were seriously
damaged. Repairs are, of course, very
difficult. Nine furnaces are now work-
ing.
"Agriculture never suffered during
the war, except in the war zone. The
yield 'of this year's crop will be almost
equal to that of normal pre-war years.
Lands lying in the war zone and de-
vastated by shell fire will be taken
by the Government, which will take
over the farms, work'them, and finally
turn them back to their original own-
ers in good condition.
"Many; of the railways, when the
Germans were forced to retreat, were
destroyed, but rapid progress has been
made in restoring the reads to wak-
ing condition. Germany has replaced,
to as great extent, the rolling stock
which she had taken away, and prac-
tically all the stationary equipment
has been so far restored as to provide
slow transportation of freight, about
as in normal times. On the main lines
passenger traffic is already quite as
intensive and as rapid as before the
war,"
May Take Eight Years
to Restore French Mines
A despatch from Paris says:—A
commission of German experts who
have visited the mines of northern
France, which were devastated during
the war, believe that it will take from
two to eight years to restore then' to
their fernier condition, according to
The Gaulois,

A Use For It.
It was the fifteenth house he hail
called at unsuccessfully, and the book -
agent was getting fed up,
"Sorry," said the householder, when
he could get a word in, "but I never

"Buy it for the children, then?" sug-
gested the agent, •
"I have no family—only a cat,"
"Well," was the despairing agent's
last hope, "don't you want a nice,
heavy book to throw at the oat?"

A despatch from London says; -•-The

smart piece of Canadian resource -and
organization at Buxton depot.
On Sunday 000 men wets to join the
Belgic at Liverpool and a special train
had been arranged for Saturday morn-
ing, but on Friday evening it wee can.

his staff, not to be beaten, however,
began to organize a road transport,
'and, dwith_
1 the assistance of Cant,

ment, it was all fixed up in four hours
from Manchester and London, By
Saturday morning rho lorries were all

The Resourceful Bee.
Extraordinary stories about the
cleverness of bees and tints are com-
mon enough, but most of the exploits
recorded can be explained by the
power of instinct, which is admittedly
strong in these insects. A bit 00 ob-
servation printed in the French Revue
Iiebdonhadah•o, however, seems al.
most to prove the case for hoe reason,
Prof, Bonnier writes in that period{'
cal that in July, 1918, the witnessed
the following circumstance;,
A freight train, ono car of which
had been loaded with coarsely granu-
lated sugar, had been wrecked on the
Paris -Lyon rail line near the Biologl-
oat Laboratory at Fontainebleau, scat-
tering the sugar in a big heap over the
ground. Near the place where the ac-
cident occurred there were some bee-
hives, and the heap of sugar was soon
swarming with bees.
But the industrious insects found
that the sugar was crystalized in
grains too large for them to carry
away, and too hard for them to pene-
trate. What did they cin then ---give it
nee Not at all. Apparently under the
orders of ar competent eonunander
among then, large numbers of the
bees proceeded to fly to some water-
ing troughs near by, where they load-
ed themselves with all the water they
could carry. Then they flew to the
sugar, upon which they proceeded to
deposit the water they carried. Soon
they had converted the surface itito a
syrup, in which the bees now pro-
ceeded to roll themselves, When they
were. well covered with the sticky sub-
stance they flew to the hives, where
they were relloved of their syrup.
Then they flow back to the' troughs
for more water to wet down more
sugar.
Prof. Bonnier says that such clouds
of bees were engaged in this work
that within four flours the space where
the sugar had been spilled had been
completely cleared of it. In the
meantime, sundry human beings had
arrived who had the same intention
cpncerning the sugar, but, seeing the
white mass blackened by swarms of
bees, they kept their distance rather
than take a chance of being badly
.stung.
