News that th Swedish (teamen

much indignation.' The arrival of the

The message which told of the

two men aboard the Vesterland had
been lost.
Newspapers werevunited today In
voicing indignation. The Stockholm

"Helih.rate and bloodv crime."
It declares that a land capable of
such a deed is caoable of anything.-

Australian Business Houses
To Restrict Enemy Traders
(Corraapond.no. of Th. Aaiootatad Pnaa.)
Adelaide, Australia, April 30.
Australian . commercial houses and
business men have declared them
selves, through their chambers of
commerce, to be in accord with those
of other pirta of the British empire
in planning to prohibit or restrict
trade with enemy countries for a
term of years after the war. They
also approve the plans adopted in
London and fans conferences on
after war business conditions to give
permanent preference to trading be.
tween the oirTerent parts of the em
pire and with allied countries, as
against enemy countries. Favorable
treatment 'o neutral nations in this
respect also is approved.
froposals along those lines were
recommended by the London cham
ber of commerce and have been
adopted by the associated chambers
of commerce of Australia.
It is intended to accomplish most
of these results affecting business
after the war by revision of the taiiff
and of the shipping and naturalization
laws. Among tne atter-war steps ap
proved by the Australian chambers
of commerce were:
Restriction of enemy traders with
in the empire.
renalizalion of enemy shipping.
Retention of all German ships now
in possession of the enterite allies.
Replacement by the leutomc allies
of all ship sunk by them.
Encouragement within the empire
of industries necessary to the public
safety.
prevention of the control by enemy
countries f raw materials and re
sources of the British empire.
state co-operation in promoting
trade banks to aid in exporting prod
ucts of thft empire. .
A committee of the associated
chambers of commerce, was directed
to formulate further economic meth
ods to recuperate the wealth of the
British empire depleted by the war.
Ex-Soldiers Are Being
Placed on Small Farms
(Corraapondenc. of Tha Aeaoclat.d PrM.)
London. Mav 10. The experiment
of placing ex-soldiers on the land and
training them as small farmers is tak
ing definite shaoe. and in time the
first land settlements, comprising 6,000
acres, will be occupied by 240 men.
More estates will be acquired it tne
results of the experiment warrant an
extension of the movement.
At oresent sixty Cottages are being
erected at the Crown Colony, Patring
ton, about fifteen miles from Hull,
containing 2.363 acres. At the cen
tral farm of about' 200 acres the men
who propose to settle on the land will
be employed under the supervision of
the director and when they have ob
tained the necessary experience and
saved little capital they- will be
placed on holdings, of which there'
will be sixty, in time tne central
farm will disappear. -
The plan does not make provision
lor disabled men as such. The root
principle is to determine by experi
ment now tar tne recommendations oi
the committee which drafted the plan
ran be made a sucess. It is hoped,
however, that a certain number of
disabled men wilt be among the set
tlers. After the cottaues. the farm
buildings will be erected, and the
Young Men's Christian association
nas unaertanen to put up a recreation
hut.
The Board of Agriculture will ob
tain possession of land at Holbeacti
for their second colony in October.
In addition to a xolony to be estab
lished 'in the- southern or western
rnuntiea of Eneland and one in
Wales, a prominent agriculturist has
made a gift of over a thousand acres
in Herefordshire.
Cut Out Food Tickets to
Save the Cost of Papei
(Correapond.nc. of Tha Aiioolatod Praai.)
London, April 30. Now that the
public is warned that food tickets are
to be the only alternative if the vol
untary rationing system fails many
persons are trying to invent methods
to avoid the necessity of tickets with
their wasteful expenditure of labor
and paper.
One of them is a ration book in
vented by the head of an institute of
hygiene, which is now being consid
ered by the ministry of food. It is,
in effect, a combination of account
book and record of weights, which
is to be used by the housewife in
making all her purchases -of the ra
tioned foods.
The book would supersede grocers
and butchers' bills by a simple sys
tem of bookkeeping and the weights
of the staple articles would be en
tered by the storekeepers at the time
when the orders are given. There
is a page for each week and as the
total weights can be easily added up
at the end of the week it would be
possible to see at a glance whether
the regulation amounts have been ex
ceeded. Millions of Sheep Carcasses

FAMINE STARING
GERMANY IN FACE
Dutch Farm Hand Tells of the
Conditions Existing Kelft
tiv to the Food
Supplies.
The Telegraf of Amsterdam of
March 23 gave prominence to an
interview with a Dutch farm hand who
had just returned from Germany.
The Dutchman went to Germany at
the age of 18 he is now 35. For seven
teen years he had worked on the
farms at East Friesland, Hanover and
Westphalia. The Dutch paper quotes
him as follows:
"I often watched our beasts tatterly,
because they are daily growing thin
ner. The consequences to the milk
supply may easily be judged. Added
to this is the very important factor
that the farmer is unable any longer
to do what he wants with his agricul
tural milk and dairv products. A
strong system of checking make the
evasion ot the severe laws wholly inv
possible. A peasant is not allowed to
kill a chicken without authorization
by the district authorities.
Mystery Grows Deeper,
"It is a mystery to me how it will
go this year on our farm. For ex
ample, last year we had three women
workers, together with the daughter
of the house and an old day laborer,
who died this winter. What does this
labor signify on a farm of 180 to 200
acres. The owner has left with two
sons for the front. One of his strong
boys is already killed; the other is
lying wounded in hospital. With the
best will I was unable to continue any
longer. Last year, owing to lack of
,abor, manure, seed, etc., we left sev
eral fields fallow. This year I see no
change ot working halt the tarm suit
ably with female assistance and other
labor is unobtainable at any price.
The agricultural societies have re
quested the minister of education to
allow the children of the elementary
schools above 12 years of age to per
form agricultural labor under the
teachers direction. The question I ask
is: What is the value of such children
on our great rye, potato, and beet
root fields? No, I am convinced that
this child labor must be confined at
the utmost to garden work.
Horses Prey to Crows.
"Regarding our draft animals, our
four fine horses are perhaps already a
prey to the crows and vultures of the
battlefield; therefore, we shall be
obliged to utilize a couple of oxen, for
draft horses suitable for our farm,
with its clayey soir, cannot be pur
chased, even it you offered $1,250 to
$1,500. Our twenty milking cows are
reduced by nearly a half. People may
say or write what they will about the
undiminished cattle stocks of the Ger
man empire, I know much better.
That these animals must decline in
number is obvious. From what, more
over, should the army be provided if
there were no cattle slaughtering on
a large scale? Pig fattening is simply
in a pitiable position. If it perma
nently remains so or deteriorates
there is an end of it. I do not know
what happens to the young horses
now imported from Holland. No one
in Hanover knew. It is believed that
they are utilized for human consump
tion. They are certainly far too young
to perform hard work or army service,
except possioiy some specially strong
animals.
Diet of Bread and Turnips.
"Human food is everywhere deplor
able. Bread and turnips if the latter
are used up, mangolds that is the
daily ration. Fat. butter, meat are all
requisitioned, ana the portions dis
tributed are precious small and, what
is more, sometimes not forthcoming
for weeks. The -farmer is now only
allowed of his own potato produce
one pound of potatoes daily per head.
It is very discouraging if you sur
render your own agricultural produce
tor tne community, retaining bu pio
cious little, or receiving it back in por
tions. The need increases daily. I do
not understand how the famished pop
ulation can be fed till next hardest. I,
therefore cleared out simply in order
not to sit there any longer in misery.
I am able, to earn money enough, but
what advantage is this to me if I must
suffer with my purse full of money?
I promised the farmer's wife I would
quickly return if possible, but I shall
reflect ten times. I believe I am do
ing wisely to await better times here,
for I foresee still greater famine in
the country parts of Germany.
Srjecial Attention Given
To the Growing of Tobacco
(Correapond.nca ot The Anoclated rren.i
London, April 28. Developments
on an enormous scale are expected
in Smith Africa after the -war. and
plans'in this connection are now be
ing made as regard the export of
food. It ia confidently predicted that
so far as meat is concerned tne union
will be in a position to compete very
soon with any other part of the world,
and in order to assist the expansion
of the industry all the steamship lines
propose, it is understood, to increase
their refrigerated space. very consid
erably and to place more vessels in
lerviee.
It is also intended to give special
attention to tobacco which has been
crrnwn in South Africa from the best
seeds" for nearly a hundred years. Of
late those engaged in the industry
have had the benefit of expert advice
from the United States and Turkey
and planters are very hopeful of the
tuture.

80,000 registered opium smokers in
Formosa, according to Rev. E. W.
Thwing of Peking, Oriental aecretary
of the International Reform bureau.
He was speaking at a meeting of
Japanese and Americans in Tokio
which was discussing both opium and
morphia questions in their relation to
the tar east.
Rev, Mr, Thwing said when the
government monopoly was started in
Formosa twenty years ago there
were 20,000 registered smokers and
that although 50,000 have died, there
are now over 80.000, indicating a
gradual increase.' Speaking of mor
phia he said that in the first half of
1914 nine and one-half tons of the
drug were imported into Japan chief
ly from England and that a v great
proportion found its way to China.
"During my five years in Man
churia," he said , "I have seen the
terrible havoc wrought by this insidi
ous drug. Thousands of poor people
die in the large cities during winter
partly from cold, but chiefly from in
ability to work on account of their
morphine habits. Unless strong ac
tion is taken the morphine evil will
inevitably spread and render futile all
our efforts to eradicate the opium
evil."
Rev. Mr. Thwing urges the appoint
ment of i strong committee of
Japanese to investigate, inform the
public and induce the government to
take action against the importation of
such quantities of morphine which he
declared was a menace lo the Japa
nese as well as a disturbing factor in
the relations between Japan and
China.

NOW SHOWING AT
TUNNEL UNDER THE
ENGIMCHANNEL
Proposed New Trains to Make
the Trip Between London
and Paris in Six
Hours.
(Corr.avond.no. of Tha Anoelat.d Pres.,)
London, April 30. Departure of a
train from London to Paris every
five or ten minutes, travel between
the two capitals by rail to occupy
less than six hours, was the possi
bility held out by Sir Francis Fox
in an address recently delivered be
fore the Royal Geographical society.
Sir Francis was describing the con
ditions under which it was proposed
to build and operate a tunnel under
the English channel to connect Eng
land and France.
Looking into the future, he declared
that the trains operated through the
tunnel could be used to traverse
France, Belgium, Holland, Spain, It
aly, Germany, Austria-Hungary and
Turkey as far aa Constantinople. It
waa by no means improbable, said
Sir Francis, that within compara
tively a few years travelers from
London would be able to reach dis
tant places like India and China
through the medium of the channel
tunnel.
The tunnel would consist of two
tubes eighteen feet in diameter. In
the channel above the sea bed the
maximum depth of water would be
from 160 feet to 180 feet It would be
necessary, he said, to leave undis
turbed such a cover of chalk over the
roof of the tunnel as would guard
against any possible hostile contin
gency. That protection had been
fixed at a minimum of 100 feet The
tunnel would be operated, pumped and
ventilated by electricity supplied
from a power station in Kent, ten
miles inland. '
The tunnel would have a dip in the
level of the rails, forming a water
lock, by which it could, in case of
emergency, be filled with water from
roof to floor for one mile. This
would be under control of Dover cas
tle and the entrance and exits would
be under gunfire of the Dover forts.

Asia for Asiatics is the .
Idea of Soong Tsung Fang
(Corraapondenc. of Th. Aaaoolated Pnn.)
Tnltin Mav 1. "Asia for Asiatics
is the subject of a pamphlet of which
thousands of copies have been distri
buted in Japan, and which was writ
ten by Soong Tsung Faung, a promi
nent Chinese educator, who is pro
fessor of modern languages and lit
erature at St John's university,
Shanghai. . , , .
The writer claims that, in joining
the entente allies Japan made the
greatest mistake that human history
has ever recorded. Had it refrained, ,
he declares, England, the greatest ob
stacle to the realization of the "Asia
for Asiatics" policy, could have been
crushed by Japan with the aid of
Germany. The writer weaves a pic
ture of a defeated entente, leaving
Germany the only European nation,
in the far east, Then he adds:
"But Germany wonld share the
same fate as the other European pow
ers sooner or later and the day come
when Asia would really be ruled by
the Asiatics.
In conclusion Soong Faung urges
China and Japan to forget their dif
ferences, cease their, quarrels and, be
ins? of the same race, strive together
for the control of the far east by mak- .
ing a combined enort to resist, mo
overwhelming domination v of the
European races. ' ,
