Germany has just taken measures with view to removing Bel gian buying competition from the Dutch market. A decree has been is- sued in Belgium prohibiting com munes and dealers from importing goods from Holland. Applications to make such purchases must be submit ted to Berlin.

DISCOVERY OF EXERCISE
 TO CURE INSOMNIA.

VIENNA. Aug. l. -- A we'll known Austrian physician, Dr. Ebstein, claims the discovery of a physical ex- ercise that will cure insomnia. AS eI. plained in the Physical and Diet Ther- apeutics Journal" the cure consists pf the simple process of grasping with both hands the head board or rail of the bed and of straining upward uu- til the arm and shoulder muscles are ratigued.
 Sleeplessness in most cases is caused by irregular blood circulation in the brain, Dr. Ebstein explains. This comes to pass because of the slight difference in altitude between the head and the heart when one is lying down By raising the arms and strain ing upward, the physician claims, the flow of blood to the head is increased, while at the same time certain de gree of fatigue aids in getting to sleep.

BUDAPEST, Aug. 1. - The govern ment has taken new steps to solve the gypsy problem, which has always been a serious one in Hungary, by ordering the rounding up of every rov- ing band in the kingdom. Men of mill tary age will be sent into the army, all usable horses will be confiscated, and the women and undrafted men put to work. No one knows how many hundreds of thousands of these mo- mads have escaped military duty up to date, but the number is believed to be vary large.

OBSERVATIONS IF A|RSH|PS ARE
 EXTENDED

PARIS, Aug. 1. - An airship at A. 900 yards height is able to make Ob- servations over a surface of ground 300 miles in diameter, according to information collected in the discus sion of the services that aircraft has rendered during the war. An aviator at 1000 yards height has within his vision a zone 75 miles in diameter. Ac- cordingly, the Abbe Moreaux of the Bourges Observatory has figured out that an aviator of the entrenched camp of Paris at 1000 yards height is able to see as far as Chartres, Orleans, Beauvais, Amiens. and the German front beyond Compiegne, with the city of Laon.
 This visibility, calculated mathema- tically, is rarely possible however. in nraetice. because atmospheric condi- lions are seldom just right for it.

JAPAN WILL NOT. SEEK WAR WITH
 UNCLE SAM

CLINTON, Mass. Aug. l. - Ex- governor David 1. Walsh has returned home from & five months leisurely tour through the Orient. where he gained the impression that Japan will never seek war with the United States, that the absolute lack of American shipping in Oriental waters Is mat ter for national regret, and that the Philippines and the conduct of the United States toward them should make every American proud to be- long to this country. Tn discussing his trip, Governor Walsh said:
 The intensive industrial develop ment of the people everywhere in Ja' pan is a thing to wonder at The coun- try has come ahead by leaps and bounds. The war in Europe has brought increased prosperity to it's industries and a visit to the city Of Osaka would remind one of the indus trial activity of the most industrious of the cities of America. They are now supplying their own country and the Orient generally with the goods formerly furnished by England and Germany. are are profiting accord ingly.
 AS far as war with Japan is con cerned, there will be no war. There is no real feeling of antagonism to- ward American on the part of the Japanese, but despite this l do not think that we should fail in prepared ness for any eventuality that might come from any nation. Japan cannot afford make war on the United States, as more than half of her ex- ports go direct to the United States, and trouble with this country would mean the paralyzing of her entire in dustrial life.
 But there is another side to visit to the Orient. If there is anything that America needs in the Orient 1t is a merchant marine. It is deplorable to think that American business men cannot find means to ship American goods to and from the Orient and that the American travelling public cannot visit the Orient save through ships that bear an alien flag. The flag of every nation in the world Is seen ex- cept that of the United States, and 1t is all the more disgraceful when it is considered that 1t is nearly impossible for Americans to go to the Philippine islands, which are under American protectorate, or to ship goods there, without the aid of foreign steamship lines"

HAVE IMPROVED IN
 THE COAST

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. l. - Bus- ness conditions throughout the 18th federal district, homprising most of the Pacific Slope stateS continue to show gradual improvement. according to the report for July of the Federal Reserve Bank. In most of the cities in the district bank clearings, says the report, were considerably larger during June of this year, as compared with June a year ago. This Is notably the case in Seattle. where there was an increase of 106 per cent.
 A mild note of warning, however, is issued in the statement that ''fas- ter pace of loan increase suggests the probability of firmer interest rates, and is, of course, one of the first sig nals of caution. The 18th federal re- serve district comprises the states of Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Orego n, Utah and Washington.
 Tn the 12th federal reserve dis trict," says the report, "a moderate general expansion of business con tinues. Bank clearings in seventeen cities show an increase in June, 1916, compared with June. 1915, of approxi- mately 30 per cent, Seattle showing I06 per cent gain. Both tho deposits Of member banks and their loans show increases over the corresponding date last year, the rate of increase in loans has been greater than during the pre- eeding ten months and greater than the rate of increase in deposits. A faster pace of loan increase suggests the probability of firmer interest rates, and Is, of course. one of the first signals for caution.
 Building permits in seventeen cit ies during June increased about F per cent over the total of the correspond ing month last year.
 "The lumber situation in Washing ton, Oregon and California is less pro missing than a month ago. There has been slackening of activity with soft ening prices. Many mills which short time ago were operating at full capacity are now running on short time and some are shutting down. The apparent over-production is at tributed in part to difficulties in transportation, due both to lack of bot toms and to the longshoremen's strike affecting the entire Pacific coast. There is expectation of renewed activ- ,ity during the fall months.
 Metal mining continues without abatement it's exceedingly profitable activity. Petroleum production in California during June averaged 255,- 451 barrels per day, daily increase over May of 5000 barrels. but ship ments were 304.546 barrels. new high record.
