GLASGOW HAS
OWN TROUBLES
LOCKER CLUBS
(By Associated Press.)

GLASGOW, Scotland, April 10
Several of the labor delegations which
urged upon Chancellor Lloyd-George
the advisability of total prohibition Of
alcoholic liquors during the war, made
a particular point Of the fact that any
such prohibition, to be effective, must
apply to private clubs as well as to
saloons and hotels.
While this was urged partly on the
ground that any such prohibition
should operate equally upon all class
es, it was also observed that in many
towns it would be futile to close the
bar-room and leave the clubs open
Glasgow is the most striking example
of this, for the workingmen's clubs
here are very numerous, and they
practically all serve liquor.
HSot CluDo 1dCIy nave SOlupIS6L-
ly defeated the object of recent legis-
lation for the early closing of saloons
in Great Britain. Early closing and
Sunday closing in Glasgow merely
transferred the drinking from the lie
ensed houses to the clubs
The membership fees to these
clubs are generally NOM
inal, and in many cases are dispensed
with entirely through the presentation
of a form of receipt for money which
has never been paid. The law re-
quires that only members may be al
lowed admittance to club serving Ii
quors, but the enforcement in Glasgow
is very lax, and a newspaper investi-
gator last Sunday obtained admission
unquestioned to a large number of
clubs, although he was not member
of any In several of them he found
upwards of $50 persons seated around
the tables.

SIBERIA PLANNING
To EXPORT LUMBER
DESPITE THE WAR
(By Associated Press.)

MOSCOW, Russia, April 10. - The
discontinuance of trade relations with
Europe has injured the agricultural
industry of Siberia. 1t has always
been country of exports, which
grew as the railways developed. The
chief exports are grain and grain
produces, other agricultural products
and timber.
To facilitate the expectation off
goods from Siberia, the Moscow trade
associations are trying to -aSe adj
vantage of the northern sea route Re-
representatives. of the Siberian Associa-
ton for Shipping Trade and Industry
have gone to the lower part of the
Yenisei riverr to organize the eXpor-
tation of cedar wood. The telling of
the wood will be done mostly by in
udblldHlS Vi IHe villages Situated Oh
the banks of the rivers Kas, Pit and
Sym, all tributaries of the Yenisei
1t is proposed to prepare a large sup
ply of cedar wood-aot less than TO-
coo cedar beams for expectation by
the northern route-in 1915. The as
sociation is building a settlement at
the lower part Of the Yenisei.
The association is also organizing
large purchases of raw material, such
as hides, flax and hemp, in the dis
tricts of Munissinsk and Atchinsk,
amounting to approximately 100000.
All this material win probably be ex-
ported to England by the northern
route in the spring of 1915.

But mindful of their experiences Of
last year and the year before, when
collections were difficult and some
times impossible, they are going very
stow.
Credits are being extended only to
good customers who have paid up, and
in majority of cases those who haven't
paid will have to go without it. The
result will be, for them, at least, a
smaller yield, and it looks as if in
this way, there will be considerable
reduction, Notwithstanding the fact
that the planting fever is just as prev
alent as ever in seasons when fairly
good prices are offering.
Manufacturers of fertilizers general
ly predict sales of so to so per cent
of last years, which will mean an con-
sumption in Georgia this year of about
100000 tons, as compared with more
than 100000 tons in 1914.
