by the fact that the total exports for
November showed an increase of $63,-
100000 over November last year and
undoubtedly would have shown 100000
900 increase if cotton and copper had
been exported Part of the increase in
exports he attributed to the war.
Mr.. Redfield and Postmaster General
Burleson urged their estimates of APP
preparations for inclusion in appropria-
ton bills to be reported in December.
Mr.. Redfeld explained estimates that ex-
ceeded the current appropriation. He
said the South American field should be
looked after for marketing American
products and that banking connections
should be established in that market.
Postmaster General Burleson said his
estimates were below this years appro-
priations and that he had saved $4,000
by concentration of work and reorgani-
zation of the personnel of the dead let
ter and other officers.
The S3,000000 estimate for the pro-
posed agricultural census was favored
by Sec. Redfeld. II will be explained
to-day by Director Harris of the census
bureau.

FOOD PRICES
GOING UP
Britain Sees No Relief or
Chance for Return
to Normal
PRICES AGAIN
LEAP SKYWARD
Germans Feel Pinch as Sup
plies Still Grow
Smaller

London, Nov. 30.--Despite Great Brit
aims command of the seas, the cost OF
| living here after four months OF wal
still is steadily advancing and the out
look is most unfavorable for return OF
normal prices, as the increase affects
most foodstuffs. AT the beginning OF
the war the public became panicky and
purchased food in such quantities that
prices took skyward leap, but later,
when fears of food shortage disap-
peared, there was q return to the lower
level in many instances.
The scarcity of tonnage and the gem
cral disturbance of normal trade avenues
has caused prices to rise again, and now
they show no tendency to return down
ward. Flour now brings from 1915 to
1925 for sack of $50 pounds against
1925 to $3.50 last year.
Butter is from % to so cents higher
for most qualities, while Danish and
Russian has gone up from $3.50 to 1915
hundredweight compared with last
year. Eggs are very costly, being from
SO to 1925 a case, against S. to $3.50
last year,
Ham has increased, and North Caro-
lima rice has gone up third in price
compared with last year. Sugar is high
er because the government laid in big
supply at the time OF the food panic.
German Prices Advance with the Excep-
ton of Meat.
Berlin, Nov. 30.--The effects of the
war on the prices of provisions had UNI

In the last few days, however a sharp
general rise has set in, embracing prae-
tieally everything TO eat except meat,

licted that they viii shortly cost much

COLLECTING BULLETS
AS WAR SOUVENIRS
Children OF European Countries Picking
UP Interesting Exhibits-Belgium
Bullets Have the Least Value.

The Hague, Nov. 30.--There is scarce
ly school in European countries re-
manning neutral which has not been
struck by the mania for the aecumula-
ton of war relics. The desire for pos
'session OF collections of weird and
strange objects even extends to schools
OF the belligerent countries.
First in the list OF interesting items
comes bullets. How these bullets ever
find their way from some Siberian regi-
ment into the hands OF Danish urchin
OF how piece Of shrapncl from the bat
tleheld of the Aisne is discovered in the
pockets of little Dutch child are often
times stories of ingenious schoolboy bar
tering.
! When the war continued its dreary
course and the supply of bullets in
creased, certain objects of murderous in
tent began to get certain specific values.
The old Belgian army bullets, made aft
Ier a pattern of the year 1883, are not
rated very highly. When almost thirty
thousand Belgian soldiers marched across
the Dutch frontier and threw away their
arms, the supply of those heavy bullets
became so large that only beginners in
the field of collecting were willing to ac
cept them at all.
Neither does the true connosseur give
much for the English bullets Three
thousand British sailors were deprived of
their ammunition when they were
obliged to cross into Holland and this
made British bullets too common TO be
considered as treasurers. German bullets,
which seem to be common enough in the
country of their origin, are rated high
by the children abroad, The same can
be said OF the bronze pointed French bull |
let's which. like the German bullets, I'M
less they hit some vital organ. merely |
make a neat little hole which easily |
cures.
But alas, honesty even in this childish |
mart OF barter would not remain for I
long. One boy who desired his neigh |!
boris collection left the narrow path |
which runs between the right and wrong |
of the collectors code. With an axe he /
changed his common Belgian bullet into |
. grucsome hatnosed dunn dunn" The
first specimen of this terrible weapon
was passed from hand to hand with great
awe. 1t was exchanged for an entire
collection OF regulation bullets. 1t re-
manned seven days wonder Then the
trick was discovered and now dum-dum
bullets are as common as Junebugs in
May. q
Not only in the relics o. death and
bloodshed does the juvenile world of
Europe keep a bristling collectors trade.
The occupation of each others terrific
ries by the belligerent nations has de-
.plonad gtanr arn 10 From tha Car-
man possessions which the English have

OUR DEBT TO ENGLAND.
Obligations Probably Do Not Exceed
S25o,ooo,ooo

~35o,ooo,ooo'
New Irk, Nov. x--An inteiuatiohsi
banking house with influential British
connections, Saturday received a cable
from London touching upon the state.
ment of Lloyd-Gcorge in the House OF
| Commons on the 2lst in which that
official declared that this countrys debts
to Great Britain aggregated $o,ooo,ooo,-
900. The cable intimates that the state
ment of the chancellor of the eAehequer
was misinterpreted and that British
bankers estimated the amount OF tins
country's obligations to London as not
exceeding $3.50 000O00 This was the
maximum named by Sir George Paish,
the British treasury official, during his
recent visit to this country.
New York bankers believed that Lloyd
George probably referred to the amount
of American securities held by bankers
and individuals of Great Britain. At no
time, the bankers said, has this coun-
try's obligations to England and her
colonies ever amounted to the colossal
sum said to have been named by the
chancellor.
1t was also pointed out by our bank
ers that many American railroad notes
and other forms of obligations held by
British and French banks and investors
were to mature within the next few
months. Arrangements have been made,
it was understood, to meet the demands
when due, partly by further shipments
of gold TO Canada to be placed to the
credit of the Bank of England. This
process was employed to meet the ma
turing New York City notes, the greater
part OF which have already been liquid
ated.

SEEK CHANGE OF VENUE.
Maine Doctor and Woman Plead Not
Guilty to Murder Charge.

Houlton, Me-, Nov. 30.-A motion for
a change of venue was filed in the SUI
preme court by counsel for DR. Lionel
| Il. Dudley and Miss Alice Pelletier, who
seek to have their trial on the charge
OF murder in connection with the death
of Miss Mildred Sullivan of Houlton
held in some other county than Aroos-
took. Arguments probably will be heard
to-day. The motion stated the belief
OF counsel that they could not have an
impartial trial in Aroostock county be-
cause of the prominence given in the
newspapers to the case and because, it
was alleged, the real facts surrounding
the death OF the sullivan girl had been
80 distorted magrifed. misrepresented
and mixed with hearsay, conjecture and
surmse"
After the motion for change of ven
ne had been filed, DR.. Dudley and Miss
Pelletier were brought into court unex-
pectedly for arraignment on the murder
charge. Both pleaded not guilty Thurs
day was named as the date for the open
ing of the trial pending the hearing Of
arguments on the proceedings for a
change OF venue.

Chicago, Nov. So.--Hope Of making

their annual meeting here Saturday
Preparations for the 1915 season Were
undertaken enthusiastically, the baseball

AMERICAN NAVY ILL EQUIPPED
Could Not Make Strategic Move With
out Purchasing From British.

Washington, Nov. 30.--lt would b.
practically impossible for the United
States navy to make any strategic move
outside of American waters unless il
| first purchased British admiralty charts
to insure safe navigation, This state
ment is made by Capt. Thomas Washing
ton, photographer OF the navy, in his
annual report made public at Washing
ton Saturday. He says that his office
has now fairly begun the task OF repro
ducing by zincography these British
charts, of which it would be necessary
to purchase 1852, and the hope Is ex-
pressed that the United States may soon
be Independent of foreign chart makers
for the safe navigation Of its ships in
peace and war.
1t is declared to be matter requiring
careful consideration as to whether the
existing steamship lanes should not be
made obligatory upon all vessels cross
ing in or along them. Safety at sea
would be enhanced thereby il is stated,
and the question is recommended for
favorable action. The ice patrol main
tanned by the revenue cutter service
along the southern edge of the ice re-
gion is declared to have proved most
valuable aid to navigation.
Recommendation is made for the es-
tablishment of branch photographic Off
ceS in Panama and Los Angeles, Cal, as
the result Of the opening Of the Panama
canal, and in view of the great amount
of important work performed by The by
geographic officers, it is urged that they
be relieved from the present duty of
acting as recruiting officers.

and short of water and coal, the Amer
lean tank steamer Sun, from Amsterdam
for New York with cargo of German
dyes valued at nearly $3,000,000, pushed
up the harbor Saturday afternoon.
Another days delay in reaching port
would have necessitated burning some of
her cargo.
According to Capt. Ockelman, the
steamer left Rotterdam Nov. 10 with
GG00 tons OF aniline colors and dyes for
New York and Philadelphia. She re-
sumed her passage Saturday evening.
On her outward trip the Sun, loaded

mouth, where she was held for four DAYS
until the naval officers We're satisfied

mans.
