GREAT BRITAIN AMERICAS
HEAVIEST CUSTOMER

Great Britain, it is claimed, is now US
ing three times as much American pro-
ducts as any other foreign country, and
is absorbing more than one-third of all
American exports. British purchases in
the United States, last year, amounted to
$1,191 100000.
France holds second place among
America s customers. American made war
munitions are now pouring into Europe at
the rate Of nearly 100000 worth daily.
Records show that more than 100000
horses have been shipped to Europe, from
this country, since the beginning of the
war.

Of the navy department, the British navy
today is approximately twice as strong as
the combined fleets Of Germany and Aus
tria, while that of the central powers is
just about double the sea fighting force Of
the United States. The British navy is,
therefore, four times as great as that of
this country.

MANY OPPOSED TO CHICAGO SUB
WAYS

The people Of Chicago, on the whole, do
not seem to favor subways; at least those
in favor of the project have not yet ap-
peared to present their side Of the matter.
At hearing Of the traction and subway
commission, on February Is, nearly all the
speakers urged the extension of surface
and elevated lines, in preference to sub
ways
The speakers on this occasion, however,
were persons who are officials of outlying
Improvement organizations They argued
that subways would increase the conges-
ton in the loop, and thus prevent the up
building Of business centers outside the
down town district
