ENGLAND PLANS

London, Eng Aug. 29.-Germany'

The vastness Of Germany's exports
demonstrates the opportunity which is
at hand and suggests the possibility
that the United states, too. may proIlI

Another spur to the British ambition

~ EW events in history have struck
the Imagination with a more last
ing impression than that produced
by the burial Of the gay Roman city
Of Pompeu by a tremendous eruption
OF Eesuvlus 1885 years ago.
The world was overwhelmed with
surprise when, in the last century. a
large part Of the buried city was dug
out OF its grave, still presenting many
OF the familiar aspects Of daily life
so that the impression made upon the
beholder was as If he had been trans
ported backward in time near 1000
years and set down in the streets and
courts Of a city whose inhabitants had
suddenly disappeared, leaving their
houses and places Of business in ex-
actly the state that they were in when
their Inhabitants were deprived OF life
with almost the swifJness Of a light
ming stroke.
The difference between Pompeii and
St Pierre n Martinique, destroyed by
the eruption of Mount Pelee few
years ago, IS that the latter was not
buried unde- a vast mantle of vol
canic ash Il did not disappear from
the face Of the earth as il il had never
existed as Pompeii did.

that Great Britain's loss Of trade in
central Europe due to the war, can
more than be compensated by inva-

trade heretofore held by Germany.
