WIRELESS AIDS SHIPPING.
Advises Vessels in the Arctic of
Open Channels,

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 15.-Wire1ess te-
legraphy has opened a polar sea route
from central Russia to Great Britain.
Wireless stations established by the
Russian government in the arctic keep
the vessels advised as to the channels
freest from ice. Acting on their infor-
nation. two large vessels chartered by
a Siberian trading company have just
arrived at Grimsby with cargoes from
the Yenesei and Obi districts of central
Siberia, valued at S1,750,000.
The Obi and Yenesei are huge rivers
with great depth of water, taking
steamers of any size. But it was not
until lately that their navigation was
put in practice.
Owing to the use of the transsibe-
rian railway by the Russian govern.
ment for war supplies, there are 3,000,-
900 tons of wheat held up in Siberia,
besides enormous quantities of other
produce. If this can be got out, 1t will
improve Russian exchange. which is
lies.
Next year the company proposes to
take about thirty steamers over the
new White sea route, laden with Sibe-
rian products. Even if the war ends
before this time, it is pointed out that
the Siberian railway will be more or
less tied up with back business and the
returning of troops.

SOUTH AFRICAN SACRIFICES.
Men Who Drew Large Salaries Now
Take the Kings Shilling.
the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 15-In the ranks
OF the South African contingent, now in
a training camp in Hertfordshire, there
are more men who have relinoufshed
large salaries to serve the mother coun-
try at shilling day than in any other
command of the size in the imperial
army. One private, before his enlist
ment, drew a salary of over $4,000 d
year as manager of one of the most i'm
portant firms in the South African COL
ony. Magistrates, well-to-do farmers
and miners, civil servants of high posi-
ton, and even men who fought as Off
GERS in the campaign under Botha
against German Southwest Africa, but
had no commissions open to them in the
| new contingent, are in the ranks.
The South African contingent is filed
with young Beers, as well as colonials
whose British parents were pioneers in
that world. Its, motto. "Eendracht
maakt macht" Union makes strength)
is Dutch.
Cold weather affected the troops at
first, after their work in the burning
deserts of German Africa, but with
warm clothing they rather prefer it, as
they enjoy sharper appetites.
| The contingent will be sent to the
front as soon as acclimatiZed.

The war will cost future heavy sums
for interest and the redemption OF war
loans. We expect a heavy indemnity
from our conquered enemies. but even
in the most favorable case the question
of heavy tax burden remains for US.
But the bruden of taxation in Germany
will be much lighter than in England.
