Of the crowned heads of the continent,
turning editor will be interesting to
contemplate. Orleans can we'll afford to
essay the task of financing a newspa-
per. His private fortune is ample. Re
Gently it was reinforced by a decision
OF the French court which condemned
the French government to turn over to
the Duke and his family property and
funds worth many millions of dollars.
The property consists largely of canal
shares which were the property of the
house of Orleans at the time of the
great revolution in the latter part of
the eighteenth century. After the
downfall of the dynasty this property
was confscated. In 1914 laws were
passed providing for its restoration to
the original owners. This was impos-
sible in a majority Of cases, as the gov
eminent had disposed of the property
Subsequently the law provided that the
restoration should be made in cases
where the new owners died without
heirs, which would place the govern
ment in actual possession of it. Resti-
tuition has been made under the deci-
sion rendered lately by the courts.

GROWTH OF OCEAN TRAVEL.
Ships Now Garry from I25 to 225 Cabin
Passengers.


The marked increase in the volume
Of ocean steamship travel of late years
has occasioned extended comment
among agents of transatlantic lines.
1t is said that many Americans make
six or more trips a year to the other
side, where formerly they did cot
cross at all Englishmen and Germans
who are engaged in the manufacture
ing trades. industrials and even food
raising, visit this side much oftener
now. Quite a few come to look around
with an idea OF ascertaining how
Americans have made such gigantic
commercial strides in such a short
time, but the great majority. realizing
the necessity for adopting American
methods where practicable. come here
to purchase machinery and the like
without which it would be impossible
for them to copy Yankee thrift and in
dustry. Not nearly SO common on the
ocean ships as he was five or ten years
ago is the English ranchman bound
Tor the far west. He is now in the
mining or engineering business In
Mexico and Central America. although
there are still many Britons engaged
In the cattle raising business out west
and throughout Canada Some of the
older vessels of our line shipped a
large number of mules and horses that
were sent to South Africa from New
Orleans for English army service. II
was surprising to discover what a big
percentage of these animals came from
the ranches Of Englishmen who had
settled in the north and west. Where
ships in the past were satisfied with
sixty or seventy-fve cabin passengers
each trip at this season they are carry
ing from 125 to 225 now, if not ono
way, certainly the other. The number
of buyers who are constantly on the
deep has become enormous. Naturally
Canada has benefited by this eagerness
to patronize American methods and
manufactures and she is sending
drummers abroad. The ideal drum
mers' lair is no longer the American
Pullman car, but the smoking saloon
of the big transatlantic liner.

Opposes Indiana Coal Trust.

The state may try to prevent the or
ganization of the proposed coal trust
in Indiana by bringing suits to enioin
the operators from disp0Sing of their
property in that way. Deputy Attor-
ney General Hadley said at Indianapo-
lis that he intended to inquire into
the plans of the trust promoters for
the purpose of finding out if they are
violating any of the provisions OF the
antitrust statute 1t is not believed
that the Cooper antitrust law. enacted
at the last session of the legislature,
will reach this case. but Hadley thinks
that the law under which the suits
were brought about two years ago to
prevent certain glass manufacturers
in Madison county from selling their
property to the window glass trust
may apply.
