London, Sept. IA solid wall Of

two torpedo boats until it reached its

The thoroughness Of the patrol was
further testified to by another North
sea skipper. His trawler was lying
along shore, when shortly after mid
night it suddenly found itself hemmed
in by a huge black object which
proved to be a British cruiser. It's

Southampton. Sept. 2z.-The dis
patch Of troops from Southampton
continues. but the movements are now
kept less secret than during the pas
sage Of the first expeditionary forces.
The record then made provided an
excellent test of the facilities here for
handling such q great movement of
troops.
Although the expeditionary force
was dispatched from several points,
Southampton handled the bulk of the
10000 to 200. 900 men who were sent
to the continent during two weeks
time. The docks at this place afford
more than one and a half miles of
water front, with railway lines SO
close to the ships docks that it is but
a moments work to transfer train
loads of men, horses and equipment
from the railway to the steamships.
The precision with which the trans
fer vas made was so marked that an
entire train was frequently unloaded
in three minutes and it was not un-
common for twenty trains to enter the
docks and complete their task of un-
loading within a single hour.

PRICE MAINTEMANcE.
Its Necessity to Aid Consumes.

Many big industries engaged in
national trade have often in the past
done openly what the small concerns
in their limited fields have done Sc
cretly-varied prices according to
the degree Of competition at different
times and places. Their object has
been to secure the highest price to
be had. irrespective Of whether the
buyer was held up OF not.
The principle Of selling goods at a
close margin at one place to meet or
to kill competition, and charging a
high price, to make up for it, where
little or no competition exists. is eco
Ironically wrong and unfair to the
buyer. Every article offered for sale
should have a uniform price plainly
marked uponit.
Manufacturers will then have to
see that the price Of their goods is a
reasonable one, so they will SELL and
at the same time they will provide
enough profit to pay the jobber and
dealer fairly for handling. the goods
at a uniform price. This will in
