H. Bernhard, manager of the Inland
Navigation bureau of New York, today

cercial Congress here that America S
key to vast foreign trade lies in q
greater inland navigation, with lower

LONDON, May Widespread crit
icism is heard in England over the ad-
ministration of the Prince of Wales
Relief Fund, which now amounts to
$25,OOO,0O0. About third of this has
been expended thus far.
The criticism comes from two sides.
TIE Workers National Committee
complains that $7O00,OOO has been
spent in relieving dependents of SOL
diers and sailors, and only $1,000. 600

few days ago by the local branch OF
the Relief Fund Executive Committee,
stating that the Fund would not con-
tinue to pay the weekly rent of 5000
dependents. The Glasgow secretary al
the same time stated that this action
was taken against the wish of the
local committee, which had in good
faith made promises to the soldiers
relatives which it was now unable to
fulfill.
The defense of the General Execu-
tive Committee admits that the local
administrative machinery for the pay
ment of allotments and allowances is
not yet working smoothly. But this
work was undertaken only to relieve
the unprecedented strain that the war
had imposed upon the army Pay De-
partment, and the Committee hopes
that before long the Fund will be en-
tirely relieved of this charge upon
it.
AT the beginning of the war, the
army pay Office had on it's books only
1,5O0 soldiers wives. The number en-
titled to separation allowances is now
close to 100000, and they are paid
weekly. The number of households
granted relief by the Fund has been
over 100000. So far as practicable
the money thus expended is being re-
covered from the War Office.
Substantial sums have been grant
ed for the temporary relief of wounded
soldiers and sailors, and for the pro-
vision of employment and training for
the partially disabled.

Grants from the Fund for the re-
lief of the civil population are made
solely on the recommendation of the
Government Committee on the Pre-
vention and Relief of Distress, OF
which the President is Herbert Sam
uel, President of the Local Govern
ment Board.
Unemployment, as everyone knows,
is much less serious than was antici-
pate, and it has not been necessary to
make any very heavy demands on the
Fund for the assistance of cases OF
distress among the civil population
So long as the Government demand
for labor on government work re-
mains unsatisfied, it would be impos-
sible to regard without grave anxiety
the continued reliance of men and
women on relief funds. The Commit
tee therefore urges it's local commit
tees to scrutinize carefully the cir
cumstances of all applicants for civil

IDITAROD MERCHANTS ARE
 PLEASED WITH NEW GOODS

It is a goodly sight these days to view the stores of the Iditarod merchants re- plenished with the new goods for fall and winter use With warehouses bursting with freight shipments and every available bit of store space filled, the business men of the district are prepared for the winter s trade Probably never before have goods arrived in better conditions than this year The Outside shippers seem to be learning the needs and requirements of the trade bet ter every year, and as consequence the goods shown will compare favorably with those in the better grade stores of the States.
 This is especially true of fruits and vege- tables Some of the apples, oranges and other fruits make a most tempting display, and the vegetables are as sound and whole some looking as though just gathered.
 Most of the shipments have been received from the terminus at Dikeman, and it is probable that everything will be housed in the Iditarod warehouses before there is danger of freeze-up.

AGENT WAS CIRCUMVENTED BY AID OF BEN EROMBERG

Ray Henderson, who will take a party to St. Michael next week to make connec- ton with the last outgoing boats, tells a good story of how Ben Bromberg, who left recently for the Tolovana, saved the day on former trip made by Henderson at the close of the season last year
 Ben IS a man of great energy, nervous ness and impulse and 1t was due to these characteristics that the members of the party on the occasion referred to were saved great inconvenience and an added expense on their trip Outside.
 The, party which left here with Tender son last year consisted of eleven men, in cluding Ben Arriving at St Michael, they found that all the regular boats had been put out of commission for the winter There were several Yukon river steamboat men at St. Michael however, who were to go to Nome to take passage on one of the ships for Seattle. It was the intention of the company to send these men over on the Meteor harbor tug, and Rays party would make a nice addition to the passen- ger list. The Meteor would not leave for several days however, and the 1ditarod people wanted to get away from St. Michael at the earliest possible moment Tender son therefore telegraphed to one of the steamship company agents at Nome asking them if they would not call at St. Michael for them, and naming the number of would be passengers. No reply was received The agent at St. Michael also informed them so the story goes, that the steamer Corwin was in the Arctic and could not be reached by wire. Therefore the boys seemed des- +o IL Il H. 4I Meteor
 But right there was where the restless ness and energy of Ben Bromberg came to the rescue. St. Michael is a small place, and soon Ben was acquainted with everyone there, including the officials and the sol diers. While playing friendly game of chess with the postmaster one day Ben over heard a remark which proved that instead of being in the Arctic, the Corwin was at Nome, waiting to gather up a crowd of pas sengers for the trip to Seattle Dropping the chess game Ben excitedly rushed to Henderson and gave the information, and in few minutes Henderson had message on the way to Captain Healey of the Cor win, asking him to call at St. Michael for them, and in short time he had favor able reply
 When the Corwin steamed into the har- Dor the White Pass officials were dunn founded, and they were equally astonished when they learned that Henderson had been in communication with her. It turned cut afterwaru that the reason that Henderson did not get a reply to his wire to Nome was that the St. Michael agent had sent word that all the passengers were going over on the Meteor They knew there had been a leak of information somewhere, but they could not locate it.
 Henderson and his party boarded the Cor win and left St. Michael several days ahead of the Meteor and were we'll on their way to Seattle before the company's men got started, with a saving of considerable time and expense.
 Henderson says that was one time that Bromberg's personal peculiarities were of real benefit as had it not been for him they would never have received the useful in formation.

CONTRACT GOODS PERMITTED
 TO BE SHIPPED TO AMERICA

WASHINGTON Sept. 1.-Concessions in the enforcement against American commerce of the British order in council were an nounced yesterday as a result of informal negotiations just completed by the foreign trade advisers of the state department
 The British ambassador, Sir Cecil Spring Rice, assured the trade advisers that their informal representations in cases where the British orders have caused undue hardship to American commerce will receive special consideration
 The ambassador called at the state de partment personally to explain the extent of the Bitish concessions, which are espe- cially intended to meet the growing com plaint of American importers that their Christmas trade is threatened by failure to obtain goods made in Germany and Austria for which they had contracted.
 Generally speaking, it is the intention of the British government to permit the pas sage through the blockade line of goods for which the American importers have entered into contract with German and Austrian firms Heretofore it has been required that the money shall have actually been paid for the goods Now it will be sufficient to show that they were regularly contracted for, and that the American importer is really the per son responsible for them and title rests with him. Goods valued at many millions of dollars have accumulated at Rotterdam and await transportation to the United States The order applies to these, but whether it will extend to goods yet in German fac tories, but under contract for delivery on this side of the Atlantic, IS yet undeter- mined
 The success of private interests in London represented by special attorneys in securing the release of about S60OO00 worth of such goods now on the docks is explained at the British embassy here as due to the fact that the local attorneys there were able to secure and present to the British authorities the proof required as to the character of the goods and the conditions of contract Now 1t is planed to permit American i'm porters to present proof at the British em- bassy here which, 1t is believed, will greatly facilitate importations.
