COPENHAGEN GROWING.

Copenhagen, Dec. 29.-Hand in
hand with general activity in shipping
circles is going a modernization Of the
free harbor here which, it is hoped,
Will make it possible to increase
greatly Copenhagen's facilities and
importance as a port for transit COM
merce to Russia as soon as it is posi-
Bile to trade again uninterruptedly.
The warehousing capacity is also be-
ing increased. 1t is now more than
10000 square meters, an increase of
more than 1000 meters since 1918,
and plans in hand call for 122,700
square meters by the end of 1917.
Word comes also from ChrlStan1a
that the old project for a free harbor
has been taken up there and may be
carried out, and the question of an
other similar harbor for transit bus
mess somewhere in Northern Nor
way is being discussed.

light their action is regarded in Ger

Speaking of troubles in the Com
monWealth, chief of which was q
threatened strike of coal miners, Mr.
Hughes said:
The strike and upheavals polit-
lcal and industrial, we see around us
are the manifestations of deliberate
policy which aims at destroying So
ciety as it now exists. They are the
work Of men who, calling themselves
by many names or by no name are
IL effect anarchists, and assisting
them for their own purposes are GER
tain sections who are against the en-
pire. What must be the duty of any
government worthy of the name un-
der such circumstances? 1t is to
carry on the war with vigor, to prove
to the empire and to the world that
the heart of Australia beats true
that 1t owes it's existence to the en-
plre and realizes that only through
the defeat of Germany can the Com
monwealth maintain it's existence and

misled by gross misrepresentation
have declined to entrust the govern

decision Of the people will profoundly
affect the future not only Of this
young Commonwealth, but of demo-

tainly this refusal on the part of a
free people to make sacrifices to de-
fend their freedom will be used as
proof of the unwisdom of submitting
great national issues directly to the
people. But while we regret the de-
cision, considering the odds against
us there is no need to be discour-

Mr. Hughes attacked the anti-con-

the present Uruguayan government,
is a pronounced radical, but it is po-
litical gossip that the program of the
extremists of his own party has
taken him off his feet and he is do
ing what he can to stem the tide.
Already the insurance business and
the electric light and power business
of the capital have been taken over
by the government and enthusiasts
are calling for state owned railways,
bakeries and street car systems Here
they have met the opposition of the
british owners Of the railways who
have threatened to withdraw their
capital If the proposed laws are put
into effect.
Recently the sociologists have be-
come active and Domingo Arena, one
of the most prominent lawyers of the
country, made a speech before the
commission advocating the enactment
of divorce law by the provisions Of
which a woman might be released
from the matrimonial contract upon a
mere request to that effect before
properly constituted magistrate. I'm
der the proposed law a woman would
not be required to give any cause
whatsoever. In the case of the hus-
| Ddll d long llSC Oh llIlltluS causes Is
enumerated. The author of this
| measure declared that the peculiar
conditions in Uruguay called for such
radical remedial legislation. His
| speech was at first ridiculed but is
now receiving the serious considera-
/ tion of the law makers.
| Senior Battly Ordonez who preced-
| ed Dr.. Vierna as president Of Uru-
| iS Of mt
| chief executives closest friends, is
leader Of one Of the most advanced
| Of the radical wings. Through his eff
forts the eight-hour law has already
been adopted in practically all parts
| of the republic. The fact that the
| present government cannot follow the
! proposed program of this leader and
| that of Senior Arena has threatened
| TO cause a split in the Radical party
| This could mean that the opposition
might come in to power after being
out for a half of a century. 1t is to
avoid this very thing that the COM
promise of a commission form OF
government has been proposed, the
idea being to find places for all wings
of the radical party.
Uruguay is the only country in
jSouth America where paper currency
is today at a premium, measured in
terms of American or English gold
| The republic has a gold standard, but
has never coined any gold pieces
| Those which are in circulation come
from foreign nations. The unit value
Of its paper peso however, is $1O34
and at the money changers Offices it
takes $1.05 American currency to buy

the program Of any government, the

735 Acres

Paris, Dec 29.-The Bulletin Des
Armees, official newspaper of the
trench, says 1855 acres were farmed
last autumn and spring of this year
by one army corps. All this land Is
in the region of the Mouse in the inn
mediate vicinity of the Germans. Oats,
barley, potatoes and vegetables were
grown and besides 225 acres were
worked for hay and preparations
were made at the time the army corps
was replaced to cut the grass on 175
aces remaining.
Farm material was made up OF
what had been abandoned in the

INSURANCE PLANS
At SMALL TRIAL
Agents Tell Of Alleged Wife Muir
derer'S Plot

Ossipe, n. H., Dec. 29.-Plans by
Frederick L. Small on trial here for
the murder Of his wife, Mrs. Flor
ence A. Small, at their home in
Mountainview three months ago, to
obtain an insurance policy for $4,000
covering the lives of both, was the
subject of the first testimony at to-
days session. Winfield Chase, for
merly an insurance agent, told of
telephone call from Small and talk
with him regarding such 81 policy
which Small said he wished to take
out Chase said he did not write the
life policy but had previously issued
a $4,000 and a fire insurance policy
on the Small home and it's contents.
Joint Policy Issued.
Chase Merritt, of Manchester, gen.
eral agent of the John Hancock Mu-
tual Life Insurance company satd
that a $40, 600 joint policy on the lives
Of Small and his wife had been issued
by his company The policy was not
issued on joint application he testified.
A second application was required
and was signed by Mrs. Small. On
March 81, Small paid the first annual
premium on the policy the witness
testified
On cross examination Merritt said
he did not know whether q close ex-s
animation of SmalPs character and
financial standing was made by the
company. Mrs. Small was in an ad-
joining room when the policy was de-
stroyed and took no part In the con-
versation, he stated.

SAYS INDIA PROSPERS
Great Development in Agriculture and
Industries, Says Sir William Meyer,
Minister Of France.

India today constantly hear business
men make the statement never has
India been so prosperous. Sir Will
liam Meyer minister of finance, says
to an Associated Press correspondent.
Economically India is more pros
porous than she ever was before. Ac-
cording to Western ideas she Is still
a very poor country but she Is adj
vancing as I can testify after a serv-
ice of thirty five years here. There
has been, great development in In
dia's agricultural and Industrial en-
terprises, and the government has
just recently taken another step in
the appointment of a strong commits
sion to consider the possibilities of
further Industrial development. 8tA3
Since 1900 the progress has been
remarkable. Between 1900 and 1910
the number of cotton mills increased
from lit to 210 and the persons en-
ployed from $4,000 to 215.0O0. The
production Of yarn rose from 3,000,-
600 to 593, 100000 pounds and of
woven goods from $1,000, 900 to 2l5,-
100000 pounds. Jute mills inicr eased in
number from So to 60 and the persons.
employed from 10000 to 100000.
Further, the percentage of manufae-
tured goods imported into India as
compared with the total imports has
been steadily falling, while the per
cent. of manufactured goods among
the exports has been simultaneously
rising. Agriculture of course is
the main industry of the country, and
during the ten years under question
the net area estimated to be under
crops rose from $50, 100000 to 223,-
100000 acres.
1--WE have suffered, naturally, In va
rious directions from the war and at
one time we were threatened with
crises affecting the cultivators in re-
spect of the jute and cotton indus
tries. These have, however, been
successfully surmounted and at pres
ent these industries are in a prosper
Gus condition, and the cotton ryot in
particular is getting very good prices
for his produce
AS to how the additional wealth
which has accrued to India was dis
tributed, Sir William said:
"A good deal Of money Is boarded,
since the traditions which grew up
during many generations of insecure
government are not easily shaken. but
deposits in banks have increased con-
siderably. There has been a very
considerable increase in the standard
Of comfort of the people, and the
rise in prices, which has occurred In
India as well as in Western countries.

tural and industrial population.

fact remains, however that taking
