AMERICANS BUSY IN CHINA
Introduce Motor Service and lnauc-
urate What Is Expected to Be Big
Road-8uiiding Program.

American enterprise Is putting the
automobile into service as a passen-
ger and freight vehicle in China. It
has also inaugurated what is expected
to be an extensive program of good
road construction In Chill province,
in which Picking is located, according
TO reports received by Uncle Sam.
Under the terms of an agreement
for road construction just consum-
mated with the governor Of Picking
and in return for furnishing a loan OF
100000 Mexican (S54,600 United
states gold at present exchange in
Chlna), an American company has
been granted an exclusive franchise
for 20 years to operate motor freight
and passenger services upon the road
to be constructed. The highway will
extend from the city of Picking to the
Western Hills (summer palace) by
way of the Marco Polo bridge. and it
is expected that its construction, by
making the hills directly and readily
accessible TO Picking. will lead to the
development OF suburban residence
areas in that region.

SOAP LUXURY WITH GERMANS
Prices Have Gone SkyN~ard Since War
Started, One of Uncle Sans
consuIs Says In Report.

Citizens of Germany are finding
cleanliness to be costly. according to
a report received by Uncle Sam from
United States Consul Harry G. Seltz-
er, It Breslau. This is due to the
fact that the price of soap has scared
since the war started.
The average price of ordinary laun-
dry soap in Germany before the war
started, according to this report, was
seven to eight cents pound. The
present price ranges from Al TO So
cents a pound. Ordinary soft soap
which was sold at 1.9 cents a pound
before the war is now difficult TO get
at 80 cents. The retail price Of do
nestle toilet soap was "a cents to 11.9
cents per piece before the war. The
present prices range from 9.5 to 2S.S
cents apiece. Imported toilet soaps
have almost disappeared from the
market. and such supplies as still re-
main In stock are sold at an increase
OF $50 TO $50 per cent.

DENMARK.

The international News Service is
responsible for this remarkable story:
Denmark has been forced to pay a Sc
cret indemnity to Germany for failure
TO maintain strict neutrality. The in
demnity exacted is understood to be
500, 100000. The offense occurred last
winter, when the Baltic sea was In
vaded by submarine. To enter the
Baltic sea from the North sea Ii is
necessary to pass through Danish wa
tiers, strongly guarded by forts. Ger
many secured evidence that the Eng
fish submarines could not have en-
tered the Baltic without permission or
cOnnivance of the Danish government.
OF all the Scandinavian countries the
Danes are the strongest sympathizers
with the allies and have the strongest
antipathy to Germany. German mer-
chant ships plying between Swedish
and east German ports with food, rub
Der and copper, constituted the only
German merchant traffic which the
war had not suspended. But the havoc
made by the British submarines in the
Baltic so terrorized the German and
Swedish shipmasters that there was a
time when the t ffic was at stand
still. When the submarine raids
ceased, Germany waited to see wheth-
er Denmark would protest to England
against the violation Of the neutrality
of inc Sound. There was no protest.
A few weeks later a British E-boat
asked permission to pass through.
Permission was given. The E-boat
passed through and headed straight
for KEEL This E-boat was German
U-bOat in disguise. Its crew consist
ed of sailors who spoke good English,
like the crew of the Deutschland.
Crew and officers wore English uni
iorms. At Kiel they dropped their
disguise. Their passage had furnished
the German government the evidence
of Denmark's willingness TO allow
what was supposed to be an English
E-boat to violate neutrality. Germany
thereupon made her demands. Ac
cording to the best-informed bankers.
1t was agreed, when Denmark finally
consented to pay damages, That the
transaction should not be published.
1t leaked out in a curious way. About
two months ago the rate of exchange
between Copenhagen and Berlin be
gan to fall sharply. Bankers were
puzzled, as there was nothing in the
balance OF trade to justify it.

Restoring an ancient cathedral Is
the task that has confronted Prof.
Olaf Nordhagen. the architect who has
practically rebuilt Norways remark
able relic of the early middle ages
the cathedral at Trondhjem. In the
course Of the centuries original plans
have been lost and the appearance Of
the cathedral at the time Il was built
has become a matter for conjecture
and controversy. What Professor
Nordhagen has to do is virtually TO
construct a new cathedral, and yet
keep within the ancient architectural
limits. Interest In the restoration of
the cathedral has been revived by Ma
cody Lund, who advanced a plan Of
his own and asked for an opportunity
to demonstrate It. The questions
raised by Lund, which had to do prin-
cipally with a metrical system to de-
terTnine the lines and dimensions of
the cathedral. started q controversy
which has engaged the attention of ar
chitects. When Professor Nordhagen
Threatened to resign, great numbers
rallied to his support. and 1t is now be-
lieyed that he will be allowed to go
forward with the work unhampered by
any restrictions Of the storthing.
