i 444 D BRITAIN‘S NET WAR LOSS IN _ TONKAGE TOTALS 3,443,012 A despatch from London says:â€" CGreat Britain‘s> ratification of the Peace Treaty, the Foreign Offce says, awaits only the King‘s proclamation. All the Dominions have ratified the treaty, the Australian House on Sep tember 19 and the Senate. Most of the German representatives are inclined to the opinion that they would recover their export trade through American and neutral buyâ€" ers. Much as they would prefer ‘to reâ€"establish their preâ€"war trading conâ€" nection with England, they feel that at present, because of English hostilâ€" ity towards them, they had better conâ€" centrate on American and the neutral nations surrounding Germany. Prices are approximately from 200 to 300 per cent. above their preâ€"war level. Peace Treaty Awaiting The King‘s Proclamation To assist in forcing a wedge into foreign markets German manufacturâ€" ers have concentrated on new mechanâ€" fcal devices and novelties, which were much in evidence at the fair. From conversation with the exâ€" hibitors the impression was gathered that nearly all branches of German industry are on the verge of bankâ€" ruptcy, due, principally, to the shortâ€" age of coal, and secondly, to the loss of export trade, which carries with it inability to purchase the muchâ€"needed foreign raw materials. A despatch from London says:â€"A valuable index of industnial and comâ€" mercial conditions in Germany after the war is afforded by a report comâ€" municated to the Daily News by 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 dtaelf, but everywhere one was struck with the hopeless dependency of Gerâ€" many on foreign raw materials and anI‘ Increased cost output. In fact, with German glazs, pottery, textile, leather,! toy and many other industries closed down or operating at five per cent. orl ten per cent. of their normal output, due to the inability to buy raw materâ€" lais at the prosent value of the mark, the fair gave direct evidence of Gerâ€" many‘s very difficult position.

Odlum as viceâ€"chairâ€" man for the province and Brig.â€"Gen. Clark, chairman for the city of Vicâ€" toria and the island district. It is reported that there is a growing apâ€" 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 of the country. # A despatch from Chicago says:â€" The King of the Belgians ran the enâ€" gine of his train for ten miles.

Presently the farmer asked: "Professional man?" "Yes," answered the politician, who was thinking of a bill he had pending before the House.

May Take Eight Years to Restore Frenck Mines On Sunday 600 men were to join the Belgic at Liverpool and a special train had been arranged for Saturday mornâ€" ing, but on Friday evening i was canâ€" celled. Col. Hanson, commander, and his staif, not to be beaten, however, began to organize a road transport, and, with the assistance of Capt. Smythe, of a local volunteer detachâ€" ment, it was all fixed up in four hours from Manchester and London. By Saturday morning the lorries were all on hand.

If a person suffered from a certain form of nervors weakâ€" ness a bee sting on the hand would cause a large swelling and affect the glands of the body. ‘That person should not be operated upon. An old sailor approached a farmer for a meal one day, saying he was willing to work. ‘"Many of the railways, when the Germans were forced to retreat, were destroyed, but rapid progress has been made in restoring the roads to workâ€" ing condition. Germany has replaced, to a great extent, the roiling stock which she had taken aeway, and pracâ€" 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." "Agriculture never suffered during: the war, except in the war zone.

There has been invented a method of experimental psychology that has been found most serviceable. 1t is based on the association of ideas. On a sheot of paper a series of words aro written, a few of them having no conâ€" nection with and others having a direct or indirect connection with the crime under investigation. The list is handed to tha prizoner, He is asked to pronounce loud‘y the words which by association of iGons, come to his mind when resding the written words. Toâ€"day a more sctlentific method is used. ‘The stain is washed; a feow drops of the water used are poured in to a> tube containing some specific serum from a rabbit inoculated with buman blood. When the addition of water produces in the serum a fine deâ€" posit and gives a misty apperrance to the liquid one cen be perfectly cer tain that the bloodstains are thoso of & buman being. A process formerly used for, the classification of bloodstains consisted in examining them under the microâ€" scope and from the opinion of the red globules the investigetors would draw their conclusions as to the nature of the blood. Unfortunately this examiâ€" nation gave no result when the bloodâ€" stains were not recent. When a heap of byrut documents is found in the fireplese thin sheets of glass are inserted between the burnt papers. As soon as one sheet is on the glass it is rendered less brittle ty means of a special lquid, and it is un» folded and photographed.

Photography is used also in the case of forgeries made by means of chemiâ€" But the detective also svsal‘s himâ€" selt of scientific discovery,. Formeriy, in cases of forgery, for inslance, a drop of water was placed on the forged words, If the paper had been scratched and its #ize removed the water was immediately sucked in; if the paper had not been scratched the drop remained for a while on the top. This process was primitive and epoiled the document. Dolentific Methods, The methods employed by eriminals have "improved." They have become sclentific, most sclentific, ‘The eriminâ€" al of toâ€"day handles chloroform, op‘vrm, morphia, with all the clevermess of a physician. Some years &go at Lyons a woman was found strangled, Fhe bore on hor neck five fAngermarksâ€"â€"four of the loft and one on the right, which was broader and shortor, The detective was ftruck by the is regular disposition of these marks, and tried to apply his own fAngore to them.
