TO NAME AVENUE IN
HONOR OF ALBERT

Paris, December g. - Correspond
ence of the Associated Press. 1.-The
Paris municipal council has decided
that the name ALBERT shall be given
to an avenue or public square in Paris
in honor of the King of Belgium.
Hhe Rue de Berlin has already been
changed to the Rue de Liege and 1t is
proposed to give a Belgian or English
name to the Avenue de rOpera, which
before 1870 was the Avenue Napoleon.
The former Avenue d'Allemagne Is now
the Avenue Jean Jaures.
The city of Rouen has changed the
name of the Boulevard Canchois to
Boulevard des Belges.
The Place de la Care in Orleans has
been changed to Place Albert / and two
bridges over the Loire have been re-
named George V and Nicholas H.
This Is only the beginning of the
radical changes OF nomenclature that
will in all towns of France mark the
war. The transformation Is not con-
fined to names of streets. squares and
places. All German and Austrian names
of products have already disappeared.
Eau de Cologne is to be called Eau dc
Louvain or Eau de Provence. Viennese
bread is now called Pain Liegois.
In the photograph par1ors all names
of German pieces have been marked off
the programmes.

TEA SUBTITUTED FOR
VODKA IN RUSSIA

London, December 19.-(Special.)
One of the strongest reasons of the
British government for prohibiting the
export of tea was the action of Russia.
1t is known at the board OF trade that
tea, having become the chief substitute
for vodka In Russia, that country has
bought up every pound of China tea
which was available. and is now seek
ing Indian, Ceylon and other countries

recently pointed this out to the Board OF
Trade, and strongly urged that the ex-
port of tea from this country should be
entirely prohibited. The threatened
shortage from natural causes has been
largely helped by the depredations OF
the Edmen. That vessel sent more than
