OVERNIGHT HoPEWELL

While the struggle for Verdun
goes on it may not be amiss to go as
far back Of the firing lines as across
the Atlantic and take look at the
town which is one year old and is
producing thousands of tons of ex-
plosives for the allies.
II the German fleet had come out
from behind the Notifications at Kiel
and been victorious, doubtless Hope
well would have sprung into exist
ence just the same, and instead of
providing munitions for the allies
might have been sending them to
both the central powers and their
enemies. The control of the seas,
however, makes of Hopewell pow
der town for the allies.
A year ago Hopewell, Va, MAS a
cornfield settlement with a popula-
tion of 200. Now it is a city with a
population of $4,000, which is
greater than any other city in Vir-
ginia with the exception of Norfolk
and Richmond. Land in the third
largest city of Virginia, worth a
year ago $16 an acre, is now selling
for $4,000 a double building lot.
When Bret Harte wrote of West
ern mining towns that grew up like
mushrooms over night it was
thought such a condition of affairs
could never happen again in
America. And yet not only is there
a Hopewell, but its story is dupli.
Gated at Eddystone, Remington, and
in measure, South Bethlehem.
Hopewell went through the swift
evolution Of mushroom mining towns
without law, without order, wide
open-until finally the best people OF
the community, getting together, put
through a rough form of law and
order. Now Hopewell is so proud Of
its civic Righteousness that the pow.
der town takes a day off to celebrate
with open-air festival, parades, anc
other functions, to which it is moi
ashamed to invite the governor ant
most of the officials of Virginia.
Hopewell is a live demonstration
of American initiative, ability, anC
efficiency.

INCREASE IN WORLD CROPS

Despite the absorption Of energies
to the business Of making and pre-
pairing for war, the worlds cereal
crops are showing an increase in
war times larger than might have
been expected in normal conditions.
Even allowing for a gain proper
tionate to the expansion Of popula-
tion, the statistics Of the war period
show that there is still a gain over
what might have been expected il
peace instead Of war had prevailed.
This is the announcement from the
International Institute of Agricul-
ture, Of Rome. The institute en-
braces agencies Of nearly all the sig
nificant governments Of the world,
and is in the nature Of clearing
house of information about world ag-
ricultural affairs. 1t was founded
under the patronage Of the present
King of Italy, to whom the project
was presented by an American,
David Lubin.
It has been observed for several
decades that during wars the ten
dency is to increase rather than di-
minish the production of foodstuffs.
The warning countries suffer far less
diminution of their productive capac-
ity than would be imagined, because
a more intensive effort is directed to
producing the things absolutely
necessary. For whatever the fight
ing nations lose, there is compensa-
tion in the stimulated production Of
other countries. The world becomes
nowadays a neighborhood, in which
exchanges are easy and ready; and
the deficit of one quarter is easily
provided for through the increased
production of another.
The need for greater stabilization
of prices of hfe's necessaries is IL
lustrated, however, in this remark
able statement that the world is pro-
ducing more food, in war, than it
would now be producing if peace pre-
vailed. Despite this, the prices of
cereals have advanced so much that
probably most of the worlds popu-
lation is paying twice as much for
grains as it would be paying if there
were no war.
Supply and demand is presumed to
determine prices; yet the supply is
abnormally large, and the per capita
consumption cannot be greatly in.
creased, taking the world as a
whole, by reason of war. The whole
neutral and noncombatant population
suffers through the artificial and un.
reasonable stimulation Of prices.

DESTROYERS' ATTACK
FEATURE OF FIGHT

London, June IA feature OF the
battle was organized attacks by flo-
tillas OF German destroyers on British
ships. They were comparable to in
fantry attacks following a heavy ar
tillery bombardment.
They began with the fading OF the
light and continued for some time IN
the darkness, but were singularly in
effective. Not n single torpedo struck
home from this source, while the cas-
ualtles among the attackers We're
heavy,
only eleven British hattleships fired
guns. Those engaged comprised two
divisions, one of four ships, the other
of seven, Some Of the latter were
only partly engaged, This confirms
the report that the brunt of the action
was borne by Admiral Beatty's squad
ron Of battle cruisers.
