 Chimes in Flanders
 For Belgian Refugees


 Dorchester, England. Aug. 1.-The carillon, for concert of church bells, which was one of the great features of life in Flanders before the war; has been adopted at Cattistock, a vil- lage near here, where there are sew eraI hundred Belgian rfugees. A fine st of bells has been installed in the Cattistock church, and the first recital on. them was given this week by M. Joseph Denyn, bellmaster of MaInes
 The hours program consisted chiefly of folk tunes of Belgium and national airs of England. "Chanson d'Ypres'' and ''Valeeureux Liegeois" were followed by "Men of Harlech' and Banks of Alan Water" and the national anthems of the Allied nationa brought the recital to a close.
 tsThis first recital said NJ. Denyn, twas purppsely of very popular kind It was primarily~for an English village audience who had had Bel gian guests staying with them for the past year. The later programs will include music of a more advanced kind and music which is really more suited to the genius of the carflon Broken chords, impulsivee argegg1oos, delicate traceries of ornament, in the style of the harpsichord, provide the true technique of the carilloneur.

Britons Prepare
 To Colonize New
 African Holdings

Capetown, Aug. 11-P1ans for the development of German Southwest Africa as a part of the Union of South Africa are going forward rapidly The government announced a few days ago that it soon would unfold a scheme for sending largen umbers of coIon1sts from various parts of South Afrieay~into the conquered territory which contains 322. GOO square miles and is more than six times the size of England. In area it equals the size of the Cape and Natal provinces com bined.
 Wa1fish Bay. one of the finest har- bors in the world in the opinion of the shipping men here, is destined to become a greater port than Durban. It will be- developed with a view to making it the port and health resort for Johannesburg. It already is pos sible to enter train at Johhanes- burg and embark at Wa1fish Bay for Europe. This s/due to the linking up of the railway from the Cape North west with the German lines.
 Dr. William Macdonald editor of the Agricultural Journal, published in Johannesburg, recently has made a trip through Southwest Africa for the purpose of studying it's agricultural possi bilities. He says:
 The country is made up of three agricultural zones, southern, cenetral and northern. In the first the rainfall averages seven inches. There-is a great variety of soil but much of it is of a brackish, alkaline nature. There are nevertheless numerous fod- der and salt bushes which stock feed upon. In the Ka1ahari region the sweet teamna. melon is found
 ''In the second zone the rainfall 1 averages Is inches, and the country is similar to the bush and veIdt lands of the Transvaal, being well supplied with rich sweet grass and valuable native bushes. The most elevaz ed parts are excellent alike for cattle l sheep and horses. ~
 'The third zone has about 20 to 27 | inches of rainfall. The eastern por- ton consists of fiat. loamy plains we'll suited for agricultural opera tions, while in the east there are good rains and much grass, the region be- | ing suited for seTni-tropieal cu1ture.''

Rirningham England, Aug. H..
 1hroughout Central England, there has recently been stacking of the pressure- upon workmen to put in ex- cessiyely long hours at munitions work It is also announced that brief h holiday periods of from two to four days will be granted at intervals of about two months to men and women who are putting in practically seven days a week. The explanation is that workpeople began to show signs of flag under too constant employ ment at the bench or machine, and the directors of the factories decided it would be in the interest of future output to sacrifice few day snow and then.

Predicts Period of
 Rising Prices After
 World War Is Over

Oxford. England, Aug. s11.--.t"rhere will be no more cheap prices; after this war the world is in for a period i5f rising prices,H declared Dr. Slater, principal of Ruskin College, Oxford, ln the first of lectures on Economic Phasessof the world War
 1T do not believe,' he said, that there will be a. period of poverty af- ter the war There will be no neces- sity for poverty, and such poverty as there is will be due to Tnisapplication Of the productive powers which will be available It will be the poverty which comes from wasted resources, and not from Inadequate resources.
 .'There will be no return to pre- war prices That means that there will be sa1 permanent readjustment of our methods. There will have to be Ia permanent rise of wages and other permanent adjustments to meet the higher prices. The proper policy for the trade unions is to accept the war bonuses. not for the duration of the war, but for the duration of the high CT prices
