London Paper Points TO American
Preparations for Future Trade.

London, Nov. &c. -Discassing the
newly formed American International

ut is evident that the United States
is making preparations for capturing
the worlds trade after the war This
company must be treated as quite
serious proposition. Since the COM
mencement of the war American pros
oerity has received an enormous I'M
petus from foreign orders, particu-
iarly those of England, France and
Russia. Moreover, the financial pres
tige of America has been increased by
the extent 10 which its bankers ere
able to finance the necessities OF Eu-
ropean and other countries.
Nothing, therefore, is more natural
than that American bankers and busi--
ness men should be looking ahead ana
taking steps for maintaining ms
financial and commercial prosperity al
ter the war At the present moment,
of course, we are preoccupied with
the pressing problems % war finance,
but we shall do well not TO lose sight
of the commercial possibilities after
the war, especially in view Of the
closer commercial and financial rela-
tionship of Great Britain and her Al
lies, as we'll as the commercial disad-
vantages under which Germany is Ike

WOULD NOT ENTER GERMANY.
Belgian Primate Abandoned Visit to
Rome to Avoid That Way.

Paris. Nov. 25.-The Petit Journal
saws it is able to confirm the report that
the visit to Rome of Cardinal MERCER,
Primate of Belgium. has been post
poned. IL publishes a dispatch from
Havre saying the Belgium government
has learned of the postponement of the
trip, the previous announcement OF
which was the basis of reports that
peace movement was under way.
The reason assigned for the Cardl-
nails change in plans is that he consld-
cred certain conditions imposed by the
German authorities as Incompatible
with the dignity Of his position.
Rome. Nov. 25.-Cardinal MERCER
abandoned the idea of coming to Rome,
according 10 the Italian press, because
the German authorities wanted him TO
bass through Germany. meet Cardinal
Won Hartmann at Cologne. and continue
his Journey in company with the Arch
bishop OF Cologne, while the Primate
of Belgium, il is said, insisted on trsy-
cling by way of Holland, England and

LONDON DEPORTING
CRIMINALS BY SCORE
Sweeping Out Members of Its
Underworld Through War Law.

London, Nov. 25.-The British police
are enforcing with a strong and free
hand their power OF deporting unde-
sirable aliens. While they have always
had this power. war conditions have
made its use more desirable than in
ordinary times, and the defence Of
the realm act has given them more
ironclad authority.
No reason need be given for those
deported beyond the statement that
they are considered undesirable. Lon
don. like all big cities, has had its
large shady world OF people living by
their wits, but managing most OF the
time 10 evade criminal charges. This
underworld contingent is now under
going a clean sweep, and several of its
members have been deported during
the last month.
The case attracting the most atten-
ton is that of Tod Sloan. the former
American jockey. who was arrested IA
day or two ago on deportation order
from the Home Secretary and will be
sent 10 the United States on the ground
OF being an undesirable alien, rs it
was alleged he had been maintaining
gambling house.

WAR RENTS BILL HITS
AT BRITISH LANDLORDS
Commons FavorS Proposal 10
Prevent Raising of Rates.

London, Nov. 25.--The government
took the first step to-day toward end
ing one of the deepest seated griev-
ances of the war, when Walter Long,
president of the Local Government
Board, introduced the war rents bill in
the House of Commons. As was cabled
70 The Tribune on October u, Is and
Il, several landlords, especially those
in munitions areas, took advantage of
the war situation to increase rents in
the cheapest class of houses, pleading
that they were compelled TO do so on
account Of the increased income tax.
Feeling has run dangerously high in
many districts, and consequently Mr..
Long. who several times has de-
nounced attempts of one section of the
community TO pass on the war burdens
TO those below. promised to introduce
to-days bill. He told the House Of
Commons that, although the question
was urgent in certain districts, yet the
pra ctce of rent raising wasn't very
widespread. In some munition areas,
he said. rent raising had produced a
very deep feeling of bitterness and re-
sentiment, whic'- was dangerous to So
ciety, and ought to be removed.
The new bill would apply TO Lon
don and other districts with a popula-
ton exceeding 100000, or al cas- where,
owing to an influx in the population
attributable TO war. there was insult
fcient housing accommodation. The
bill would apply to rents not exceeding
$3.50 in London and sl05 elsewhere, and
the effect would be to make all in
creases above pre-war rents irrecover-
abl,. SO as no. TO prejudice the small
landlords the bill would forbid in
creased interest on mortgages and
would restrict foreclosure.
The debate following Mr.. Longs
speech was mainly devoted 10 the ques-
ton of detail, practically the entire
House favoring the proposal. The two
labor mcmbers-G. n. Barnes and

The Greek reply TO the Allies is
