ARMY OF UNEMPLOYED.
Marked Distress in Shipbuilding and
Iron Industries in Britain.

Britain to-day has more money than
work. Redundant capital lies idle or
at the unproduetive interest of one per
cent. Redundant labor is idle at the
season when employment should be at
its best. The distress is most marked
In the shipbuilding and iron industries.

more vessels being laid up in the Tyne

600 last year.
Mr.. Thackeray, president of the
North of England Iron and Steel
Trades Cancellation Board, declared
that he could not remember trade so
bad for 40 years, except in 1886. The
Mersey docks are full of laid-up yes
sells, and there are thousands of sailors
without ships, while 500 ships officers
are walking the streets instead of the
normal so or GO out of employment.
From 5000 to 1000 dockhands are
without work.
The Glasgow Distress Committee es-
Inmates that next winter 5000 heads
of families will require providing for,
but funds are exhausted. Eight ship
yards are without work. Shipbuilders
trace the slump" to the abnormal
cost of production and the shrinkage in
freights.
In Manchester the engineering and
shipbuilding trades are in a very bad
state. The voorhees, number $4,000.
The Boilermakers' Trade Union reports
about 10000, or 20 per cent, unem-
ployed, mainly due to the shipbuilding
trade depression, intensified by the en-
cheering dispute on the northeast
coast of England. The prospect for the
immediate future is very bad, as mem
bers largely depend upon the ship
building trade.

The large movement of wheat to mar

Canadian River in Oklahoma Leaves
Its Banks, Carrying Disaster
to Scores of Farms.
MANY HOUSES SWEPT AWAY
People Pass Night in Trees, Then
Benumbed by Exposure, Drop
to Death in Waters.

One hundred and twenty persons are
reported dead as result of sudden
overflow of the Canadian river in Okla
homa, caused by a cloudburSt Hun,
dreds of others sought refuge in trees
and higher ground during the food, and
many of these have not been heard
from. 1t is feared the death list will
be even larger. The disaster came as
the climax of long period OF drought.
The river was low, and the people had
neglected the usual precautions against
floods, which nearly always are threat
ening the Canadian valley.
Overwhelmed by CIoudburSt.
Rain had been falling for several
hours, when the greatest fall ever expe-
rienced in this region of changeable
weather came down. The river IT once
became raging torrent and went over
its banks with a rush. Many farms
were overfowed, buildings were carried
down the stream, and people swept
| into the water. One family, consisting
| of father, mother and five children,
sought refuge ON top of their house
when it was surrounded by the waters.
1t was soon overwhelmed and all were
drowned.
Many thrilling rescues were made by
those living on higher ground. Boats
of every description were pressed into
service and perilous trips made to the
flooded district. Many people passed
the night in trees, and, benumbed at
last by the exposure, dropped to death
in the waters below.
In the valley of the Canadian the
valleys for several miles between Shaw
nee and McLoud are inundated, and in
several places the Rock Island, Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas and the Santa
| Fe tracks have been washed out.

The Weekly Review of Chicago Trade,
published by Il. G. Dun & Co, says:
Statistical comparisons now begin with
the week a year ago when the depression
started. Further evidence of sustained
recovery is furnished by increasing pay
ments through the banks and CONNER
cial mortality which is lower than the
corresponding weeks of 1907 and 1906
Distribution of finished products and
general merchaldise exhibits a wider vol
ume, although variable weather retards
a seasonable absorption in leading retail
branches here and at the interior. Ag-
ricultural reports are more gratifying,
corn being in good condition and rains
ample for the completion of winter wheat
seeding.
The markets for the principal grains
show decline in values and the aggregate
movement here is smaller, but -four SKIES
remain exceptionally heavy, and there is
strong buying of both provisions AMI live
stock on improved supplies.
Wholesale markets disclose lighter
attendance of outside buyers and house
dealings in the staples are less active,
although .he comparison with this time
last year is not unfSvorable in textiles
and fabrics. clothing and footwear.
Manufacturing generally advances as
we'll as expected. especially in iron and
metal working, but the underlying condi-
tons form "a healthy basis for improve
ment in the near future.
Delayed contracts were closed this
week for considerable tonnage of struc-
tural steel ana rails. Rolling stock is
now in better request, more cars being
requisite TO mees the expanding freight
offerings.
Money is in abundant supply and rates
for commercial paper average about AZ
per cent for choice needs. The outgo of
currency to move crops has slackened,

PAPER MADE OF CORN STALKS
Government Chemists Find Substf-
tute for Wood Pulp.

The chemists of the Department of Ag-
riculture believe they have solved the
problem of cheaper paper that will dis
pense altogether with the use of wood
fiber. The new material is the ordinary
cornstalk now used only as fodder. The
government chemists predict when the
manufacture of the new kind of paper is
started on a large scale it will be at least
so per cent cheaper than the print paper
now made from wood pulp. 1t also will
put AN end to the danger OF a pulp fam
inc, which already has begun to assume
alarming proportions. Prodigal extrava-
gance in tie cutting down of forests, for
est fires, and the increased demand for
wood of the spruce tree caused by the
growth of newspapers all over the world
have threatened to exhaust all the world S
supply of paper material.
Many experiments have been made to
discover some other material to replace
the wood pulp. Some 5000 different ma
terials have been tested but yainly. The
chemistry bureau of the Department of
Agriculture has been one of the most earn
est workers in this matter for years, but
not until this week have the results been
so positively successful as to permit any
announcement. The first practicable sam
pies of the new paper have been manu-
factured by DIR. II. S. Bristol and his as
sistants. DR.. Bristol has carried his ex-
periments to the point of making the
paper in FIVE shades. The white paper is
made from the hard outside shell of the
stalk and the yellow grades from the
pith. The yellow grades have much
longer fiber and resemble the paper made
from linen rags or cotton. This kind of
paper is soft and ,liable. Millions of tons
of cornstaks win be available for this
new manufacture At present the stalks
are cut and used only as winter food for
the stock on the farms. The process of
manufacturing the new invention is much
easier than that involved in reducing wood
pulp to paper.

The Rech has made public the official
statistics of executions in Russia during

tary district courts The total is 62I,
and thirty-four victims were soldiers and
543 civilians. These fgu-es are consid-
erabiy below the earlier Unofficial esti-
mates, based on condemnations reported
in press dispatches. According to the
official classifcations 453 persons, or more
than 20 per cent, were hanged or shot
for murder or robbery accompanied by
violence, sixty-two for mutiny or other
offenses against military discipline, fifty
one for crimes against the Stase End four
for desertion. The Bcltic provinces took
the lead in the number Of executions with
134. This was due to the stamping out
OF the instruction. The Kiev region was
nexl with eighty-four executions. Odessa
counted up sixty-nine, Warsaw sixty-fve
and Moscow fifty-nine.
