The Suez Canal.

The report that German submarines
were about to open campaign on
shipping in the Suez canal, will, for
the time being, tend further to depress
traffic in that waterway. The canal
has been adversely affected by the war
In 1913 it showed a decrease Of 241, 236
net tonnage as compared with l3l2.
The reduction of the transit dues to
6.25 francs, or s1.206 a ton January l.,
1918. together with the reduction in
tonnage, had the effect of lowering
transit receipts to s24, 443,630 In 1913
as compared with $26,329,s0 in 1912.
In the early months of 1914 traffic i'm
proved, showing an increase of 254, 497
net tons for the first six months, and
the transit receipts increased by al
most half a million dollars. When war
was declared traffic naturally was at
fected and since then it has decreased.
In 1915, 29o2 British ships used the
canal as against I'll German, 335
Dutch and 255 French. No separate
listing Of the few American craft is
given. The net British tonnage in
1913 was close to 100000, while the
German approached 100000. In 1914
British ships passing through the canal
numbered only 25S7 and the German
472. the respective tonnage being 1o.7sS.-
col and 2,O5S,90S. With the exception
Of the Dutch, Italian, Swedish and
Greek flags, all the nationalties, says
Commerce Reports. show reduced traf-
fic, the total decrease for 1914 amount
ing to ISL steamers of 2,572,735 tons.
Although British tonnage decreased
in 1914 it's slump was less pronounced
than that of other nations. In 1913
British tonnage represented CO., per
cent of the total. Last year, owing to
other national flags disappearing, the
percentage was 62.7 of the whole.

Dear Mr.. Editor:
One balmy evening-Mr. Editor
am a genuine Review booster and
am going to tell you about SOM

was going to say, one balmy even
ing, one of those days when every
thing'seems to be nodding and blink
ing at you in such dreamy, sleepy
way it makes you feel dreamy
we'll it was just such day.
I took it into my head to 60 over
to see Mr.. Izeck Heck, my nearest
neighbor, and see if I couldn't get
him to take the Review. / knew he
took everything you offered him and
what you didn t, too, so I was just
as sure of his subscription as l am
sure the sun is going to shine to-
morrow.
1t was about the third hour after
noon when I reached MIR. Izeck
Heck's house. Tho his farm was
badly in need of better attention |
knew full well would find him near
the house at this time of day. You
see neighbors know each others
traits pretty well when they happen
to be on neighborly terms. "Howdy-
doo," says l, to Mr.. Heck. I am
awful behind with my farming, are
you the. same?" We'll yes" says
he, very much behind, but no need
to rush. Plenty time to lay in the
ground after you leave here any
way; Well" says |, there's been
plenty of time for lots of people to
starve to death before they did leave
here too" So we both compromised
with a puny laugh.
