Italy's Exports of
Antiques To U. S.
Unprecedentedly Big

Mar. 3.-Italian antiques are being
exported to the United States in un
precendented quantities, according to
United States Consul William F. KEEL
Iy. During the past year the export
of such items amounted to the value
of 1894, 616 as compared to $169, ITO in
1914, and $141, AL in 1913, the reason
beins-that antiques have generally be-
come a drug on the European markets
as against the new souvenirs and cur
iosities created by the present war.
1t seems to be a general opinion that
after the war antiques will depreciate
still more in value and interest. This,
however, is a mistaken view, accord
ing to the Rev. Walter L. Lowrie, rec
tor of the American church in Rome,
who is a we'll known antiquarian. I'm

operations of this war swamp or sub

ENGLISH MISSIONARY.

Paul shimmon, a noted English
missionary for many months in north
western Persia, under the direction of
the Archbishop of Canterbury, told
last night of the conditions of massa-
ere, rapine and piilage by the Turks
that exist in that country since the re-
tirement of Russian troops. The oc-
casion was an assembly of the Mems
league of st. Johns Episcopal church.
His own relatives were included
among those to whom indignities were
offered and with his wife he had to
make escape through Russia and Fin
land before he could reach America.

PRISONERS HELD
BY ITALY HOUSED
in Old CASTLES
Leading Happy Life, Says
Rev. w. L. Lowrie, Amer
lean Pastor.

Rome, Mar 3-''The happiest war
prisoners in Europe are those fifty
thousand of Austria now held by the
Italians, according to the Rev. Wall
ter L. Lowrie, pastor of ST. Paups
American church who has been espec-
tally delegated by the Young Mems
Christian Association to look after
prison camps in Italy.
After returning from a trip recently
among the prisoners DR.. Lowrie said
to a. correspondent. These prisoners
are lodged in some of the most mag
nificent castles and palaces of Italy,
the homes of former kings and
not ill-treated or browbeaten, and
they not only are not made to work
but they are not permitted to work.
So they are really leading the happy
life, if anybody can be said to be hap
py at this time, away from home and
country and family and loved ones.
They have but two complaints to
make, one list that Europe is at war.
4 am ashamed of everybody in
Europe said one prisoner to me, and
he voiced the sentiments of all. OF
course this feeling has certain men
tai depression as an accompaniment.
Their second complaint is that they
are not allowed to work and earn a
few cents a day, as prisoners are per
nitted to do in France, Germany and
elsewhere. That they are not at work
is due to the objections made by the
labor leaders of Italy who felt that
all war work should go to Italians in
need of work to keep themselves and
their families going.
But these prisoners are improving
their time for all that. Nearly all OF
them are learning English. I have
had difficulty in getting enough Eng
lish books for. them.
Among the places where the prison-
ers are kept is the castle at Aquila
built by Frederick II. and about which
Emperor William of Germany once
wrote a monograph. Another place
is at Baia near Naples where some
Thousand prisoners are housed in the
beautiful old structure of the dukes

prisoners are sheltered also in the Sis

is perhaps more comfortable than a
palace. There was some talk of also
using the Bourbon royal pala ce at
Caserta, the Versailles of Italy, which
would hold no less than fifty thous-
and prisoners and make them COM

Whiskey Stills In

London. March 3-Teetotalers and

an intimatbon by David Lloyd George,

tent whisl<ey stills in the British Isles
will be taken over by the governm ent
for war work until the end of the
war, to be used for the production of
certain of the ingredients of ezpdos-
ives.
There will be no shortage of whis-
ey, however. The distil1ers say they
have a stock in bond quite sufficient
to supply the normal consumption in
this country for at least three years.
They also point out that unless the
war should come to a sudden end
their supply would last four years ow-
ing to the 1essened. consumption due
to the restricted sale now in force
Only about a dozen of the biggest
distilIeries in Scotland come under the
category of patent stills. In the year
ended March last there were distilled
in Scotland 28,O0O,00O gallons and
there were in stock 113, 100000.
