GREAT RUSH Of GRAIN
TO ATLANTIC SEABOARD
Thousands of Carloads Are at Coast
Awaiting Ships for Trans
port to Europe.

J. PHILADELPHIA, November Is
What is probably the greatest move
ment Of grain the world has ever wit
messed is now in progress. Selling the
opportunity presented by the war in
Europe. American and Canadian farm
ers have raised unprecedented crops,
which are now being rushed to the At
lantic seaboard in all haste because of
the impending close of navigation on
the great lakes. In Philadelphia not
only are all the elevators filled to their
utmost capacity, but there are more
than 1000 cars of grain on the railroad
tracks awaiting their turn to discharge
as soon as the fleet of steamers ar
irving in ballast from Europe relieve
the elevators of the 100000 bushels
now stored in them
In addition to the regular transat-
lantlc liners, known commercially as
whole cargo carriers, twenty steamers
are due at this port to load cargoes of
grain. In all, the westward bound fleet
headed for Philadelphia has a carrying
capacity of more than 5000, 900 bushels
Ocean freight rates continue to ad-
vance daily. Rumors are current that
the Italian. government will soon call
many of her vessels home for war pur-
poses. This would intensity the lack of
tonnage with a corresponding increase
in rates.

EVACUATION A HUGE TASK.
Removal of Factories From Russian
Cities Involves Big Labor.
: OF the Associated Press.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
PETROGRAD, October 25.-The evac-
uation of the large cities that Russia
has abandoned to the Germans is a
task the immensity of Which may be
judged from figures now available con-
cerning the partial evacuation of Riga.
The population of Riga has not been
seriously disturbed, the city having
about as many inha bitants as at the
beginning of the war, since many refu-
gees have gathered there from the
Baltic districts occupied by the Ger
mans, but 400 factories. of which eighty
belong to German subjects. have been
transplanted to interior provinces.
During the evacuation period from
l50 to 200 loaded cars were dispatched
daily. and in all $4,000 carloads of ma
chinery. metals and raw materials
were shipped out of Riga. The work
continued for two months
Factory owners have received COM
pensation from the government treas.
ury for the cost Of removal and most
of the skilled workers of the factories
have accompanied the employers to the
new locations.

YOKOHAMA, October 13.-SiX Ameri-
can Red Cross nurses and two physicians
belonging to the American Red Cross, all
of whom have been serving with the Rus
sian army since the opening of the war,
are in Yokohama on their way back to
| America, and will sail on the Shlnyo
Maru October 90. The members of the
party are DIR. Paul H. Zinkhan and Dr..
Arthur NJ. Zinkhan, brothers, from
Washington, D. c., who were among the
first American Red Cross volunteers. The
nurses are Cora V. Johnson of Rockford,
Ill.,: Mabel B. Rich Of Boston, Hettie
Reinhardt of Charlotte, n. c.; Anna B.
Smith and Marion H. Erhlernach of Phil
adelphia and Sara HILBERT of Chicago.
The party left Kev, Russia, one month
ago. and reached Moscow with much diff
ficulty on account Of the rush of refugees
from Galicia and Poland. Because of the
trying experiences they had in getting to
Russia by way of the North sea, the doc
tors and nurses decided to return by way
of VIadivostok, and made the trip to that
city from Petrograd in nine days.
The Doctors Zinkhan and several of
the nurses will probably return to the
war zone after short rest in America
The doctors have been offered positions
with the Russian Red Cross. They have
the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Rus
sian army. The American Red Cross
has about exhausted its appropriations
for the support of physicians and nurses
in the. field, but the armies Of the war
ring nations are eagerly seeking skilled
American surgeons and nurses for field
and hospital work.
The Doctors Zinkhan, mentioned in
the foregoing correspondence, are the
sons of DR.. Louis F. Zinkhan, suparin-
tendent of the Washington asylum and
jail.

HOLLANDS TEXTILE TRADE
FEELS PINCH OF THE WAR
Dutch Unable to Obtain Dyestuffs
From Germany or Raw Ma
terials From England.
of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
TWENTHE, Netherlands, November 1.
The textile trade. one of the principal
industries in Holland, is suffering at
tack from both Germany and Great
Britain, the first of which refuses to
provide sufficient dyestuffs, while the
latter restricts the supply of the raw
materials required to keep the Dutch
spindles going.
Ever since August, 1914, the various
branches of the textile trade here have
experienced difficulties in keeping mills
at work. At first there was certain
amount of raw stuffs on hand to fur
nish the looms, which were kept busy
by the orders from the Dutch military
authorities for clothing for the rapidly
modified Dutch troops. Then. how
ever, came restrictions on imports ana
exports, which were accompanied by de-
preston in the home purchasing mar
ket.
This district is the center or the
textile trades. In the immediate Vlc1n-
ity of Twenthe in normal times z!,ooo
looms and 100000 spindles are pusy
and for the most part they depenu oh
foreign countries for raw materiais.
Altogether in Holland there are en-
gagged in the textile trades $40 power
factories and $500 other works where
purely hand labor is employed. IN
these concerns about $4,000 people earn
their living.
Up till a few years ago much of the
mems and women's ready-made cloth
ing sold in Holland came from Ger
many, but recently Dutchmen have ap-
piled themselves to this trad'e, WINCH
at the beginning of the war, saw IT.
self almost entirely in Dutch hands.
People in this country have beer forced
however, to economic by the prevail
ing conditions and the clothing manu-
facturers have felt the plnch OF tne
war inst as much as any other branch
of the textile trades.

MAY BE ANOTHER KLoNDIKE.
Valley of the Pek, Northern Serbia
Believed Rich in Gold.
OF the Associated Press.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
SALONIKI, October 25.-The valley
of the Pek. in northern Serbia, which
the Germans occupied early in their
Serbian campaign, may one day rank
with the Klondike, for most Serbians
believe that it is rich in gold. Though
the main deposits have never been To-
Gated, the peasantry for generations
have made a slender income from pam
nings OF wash gold, coming, it is be-
lieved. from a rich quartz reef far up
in the hills
The total output of gold from the
smaller placer workings has averaged
about $4,000 a year for several gem
erations. Occasional nuggets of con-
siderable size have been found and
there is evidence that the Romans
drew gold supplies from this region.

but the number of marriages increased.
There were fewer deaths than the year
before. Business conditions have stead
lily grown better. Thus. for instance, the
number of persons carried on the street
cars increased in August from $780,

the alleged action of England in in
terfering with the cable servicce be-

vigorously to President Wilson, and

Complaint is being made constantly
with reference to the cable service
between this country and nutral ma
tons via England All cables with
reference to trade in cotton seed oil
and other cotton seed products are
sent to England and in English, no
codes being allowed, and any suspen
sion of cable service between the South
and neutral nations, which have been
buying so largely of cotton seed meal
and cotton seed Oil, will have serious
effect upon the sale of these products
of the South.
The South enjoyed a splendid trade
On cotton seed products with neutral

continuation of this business can be
had this year, provided the cable ser

"A message having been received

is endeavoring to respond to the call

A sort time ago recruiting fell of

the recruiting has improved and, it is
believed, the required number of re-
inforcements-a 5000 monthly

The Government is pledged 20 furnish
the monthly quota of reinforcements to
make good the wastage in the Aus

Once the shortage in reinforcement
has been met the Defense Department

PRISONERS FAITHFUL To
CAUSE THEY CHERISH
(By Associated Press.l

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, August
| 16.-Twentyseyen Belgian, French and
English officers still elect to remain
| prisoners on the Island of Urk, in the
| Zuyder Zee, rather than promise that
they will not try to escape from Hol-
land and return to their colors to fight
If they were willing to give their prom
Use not to try to escape they would be
allowed to roam anywhere in Holland
but the twenty-seven on the Island of
Urk prefer to remain prisoners, open
ly avowing their intention to escape if
possible. This makes the situation
something of a game between the pris-
oners and their Dutch guards.
The Island of Urk is itself sort of
geographical joke, for it is little more
than a small sandbank that was left
high and dry when the sea drowned
the central part of the Netherlands and
formed the Zuyder Zee. Some 2,2O0
people, however, now live on this lit
tie stretch of land, which the average
pedestrian may cross in ten minutes
The islanders are extremely clannish
and stick to the dress of 200 years ago.
They amuse themselves by fishing for
herring and anchovies and in building
dykes against the terrors Of the North
Sea in winter The presence of the in
termed French, Belgian and English
officers is regarded as sort of sport
ing affair even among the Dutch
guards. The commander describes the
situation by saying 1--WE are excellent
friends with our prisoners. We great
ly respect the men who try to escape
and return to their country to go on
with the fight. Only it is our duty to
keep hem here"
Next to Commander Nyssens of the
Belgian army, who was pulled across
the Dutch frontier by his own men
after he was rendered unconscious by
seven bullet wounds, the most popular
prisoner is an Irish major of the Brit
ish flying corps who actually made his
escape from the island by swimming
for some three hours and who would
have succeeded in his flight but for
the small mishap which landed his boat
in village which was under martial

RICH BRIDEGROOM,

s17o0 MISSING, TOO

NEW YORK, August 16.-The ro-
ance of Ignatz Malinoski, SO years old,
rich Massachusetts farmer, and until
ten weeks ago one of the haDpiest of
bachelors, has been shattered. He is
pursuing his 22-year-old bride, Vic
toria with possibly more ardor than he
courted her, and he is also pursuing
81, 200 which she took with her when
she left to go to the bank last Friday.
He thought he might meet her if she
boarded steamer at Hoboken for Eu-
rope, and he has told the police he
will gladly wish her bon voyage, il
he gets his money back.
Ignatz had pursued the even tenor
of his way for many years before he
met Victoria. A housekeeper was the
only woman about the farm on the OUT
skirts of Holyoke, Mass, and the fe-
male of the species never bothered him.
Then a friend invited him to dinner at
the home of Victoria's sister in Holy
oke.
The spirit Of Victoria pervaded the
little affair. She not only prepared the
dinner, but she served it. Little Gu
pid worked on Ignatz, aided by the
well-cooked dinner and the rich far
mer," as he was introduced to Vic
toria was frank to tell her that she
was a splendid cook.
Farmer Malinoski was lonesome
when he left for his farm. Things did
not seem the same: so after a few days
he discharged his housekeeper, dress
ed In his best, and went to the home
, of Victoria's sister He asked Victoria

remained in Holyoke until, at the end
of two weeks, she capitulated and he
took her back as mistress of the farm.
The COWS and chickens were all
right for Victoria for few weeks, but
then she began to tell her farmer
spouse of the delights of city life.
Even Holyoke looked good after a fe &
weeks of the farm, and she finally per-
suaded her husband to trade the farm
for home in Holyoke. He traded an
got a house, some other property and
81, 700 last Thursday. On Friday he
made ready to take the money to the
bank. 1t was raining and Victoria told
him she did not want him to take cold,
so she volunteered to go to the bank.
Victoria left with the 81 700 and she
has not been seen by Farmer Malin
oski since.
