DUTCH PROHIBIT TIE
 EXPORT OF VESSELS
Netherlands Forced to De- pend on Own Shipping
 Which Forsakes Home

The Hague, Netherlands, April 1S.-(Cor-
 respondence of the Associated Press)--A
 bill to prohibit the export of ships-also
 their, chartering except by government
 consent-has just passed both chambers
 of the Dutch Parliament, where it met
 with no serious opposition
 Hollands s supply of essential necessities
 from overseas has been endangered for in present circumstances she is forced to
 depend practically entirely on her own
 merchant fleet, and Dutch shipowners
 have been tempted by fancy prices and
 safer waters elsewhere to charter their
 boats for entirely foreign services, as,
 for instance, in the traffic New York
 Marseilies, New York-Australia, Chile-
 North America and North-South America. Even of the Dutch ships which do con tinue to trade to home ports a goodly
 proportion are engaged in supplying Bel gium through the commission for relief in Belgium. Moreover. the longer aver age voyages owing to the closing of the Baltic and Black seas. and the increased length of the voyage to the far east around the Cape of Good Hope, have all contributed to decrease shipping room. On top of all this comes the sale of ships abroad, tempted by trebled and more than trebled prices. According to figures presented to the chamber by the minister in charge of the bill, the Netherlands mer- chant fleet decreased between August 24 1915, and February 10 1916, by 3l ships, of over 400 tons, and totaling 104,0O0 tons, and increased by only F ships of 3S,000 tons, thus experiencing a decline on bal ance of 19 ships and 66,000 tons in less than six months. When to these figures are added the numerous losses by mine and torpedo in the short intervening pe- riod it will be easily seen how serious the position was becoming.
 Henceforth no permission for the sale of ships will be granted unless it is shown that the vessel in question cannot be prof itably used and that a new ship for re-
 placement is ready. Some demur was
 made in Parliament to the inclusion of
 ships building in the busy Dutch yards under the bill, as endangering the ship
 building industry, which is just now so prosperous The minister stuck to his
 point, however Permission to export such new ships will only be given where it is shown that the vessel was destined for abroad from the very commencement of it's construction and where the Dutch
 mercantile fleet is not in definite need of a ship of this sort.

YOUNGEST SOLDIER
 CAME FROM CANADA
A Thirteen ear-Old Slows Away and Becomes a
 Trumpeter

London, May Special )-"A Mod
 Jewish Chronicle" to Reuben Gins
 berg, who, at thirteen years of age, is
 said to be the youngest soldier in the
 British and Overseas armies Fifteen
 months ago, it is said, the boy was Tn
 school at Montreal When his father
 joined the First Canadian Contingent
 and was about to leave for England,
 Reuben, who is a devoted son, deter
 mined to go with him. Staff Sergt Ginsberg is an old soldier having serv-
 ed in Africa, Egypt and the Soudan,
 and he very firmly prohibited his son
 from carrying out his wish. Reuben,
 however, saved up few dollars for
 his fare to Halifax, and there slowed himself away on the steamer in which
 his father was to be transported to , England. Then, in mid ocean, the child presented himself, and pleaded SC hard to be allowed to accompany his father that he was enlisted there and then as trumpeter and regimental mas cot. He soon became an expert trum- peter and after course of training at Salisbury Plain, his fathers battery to which Reuben was attach ed-was ordered to the front.
 When Lord Kitchener reviewed the troops previous to their departure fot the front, young Reuben was brought before him, and after the usual cate chism from K. of K, permission was granted to him to go to the front The sturdy, bright lad evidently made an impression upon the veteran cam paigner, for as he turned away, he was heard to remark to his aide-de camp That's blood for you"
 At the front Reuben became the pet of the battery, for he endured hard ships and privations in the right spirit and did his duty like a soldier and q Jew. On horse and motorcycle alike he was at home and he often carried messages, learning how to rough it with the best of the Canadian boys Atilength he was wounded by sharpne1 at Ypres while riding his motor-cy cycle He was brought to Shorncliffe, and there the Assistant Chaplain (Rev H Shande) when he visited that district found that he would soon become Bar mitzval, or attain his religious major fty. Arrangements were made for the ceremony to take place at the Rams gate Synagogue. He wore the tallis which he always put on under his tunic before going into action, and it bore the traces of battle upon it. This young soldier is a grandson of a fam ous Ray of the AshkenaZi Congfega- ton in Jerusalem.

For tunately our great President-i is a man of kind and benevolent disposition and capable of piercing through ten thou sand Ii of mystery, and has issued a mandate shouldering all the respon- abilities for the crime by abruptly canceling the same Careful considera- ton will show that although those who first advocated the monarchy cannot escape blame for having done so, the Esan Cheng Yuan Estate counciD new ertheless also shared in committing the crime for acting as principal represen- tatives of the people. A man so ignor- ant of law like myself is unable to say whether the organization of the con- vention of the citizens representatives was legal; but I am convinced that in spite of the cancellation of the mon- archy, it is doubtful whether the par ties in the south will be satisfied with it or if the province of YunSn and Kweichow will cease fighting. In addi- tion to these facts we must also re- member that strong neighboring country has been eagerly expectant. Since the great President has cour- ageously taken On himself the respon- sibility of the crime, we should also wind up our business and ask the gov ernment to dissolve the organ in order that, on the one hand we may thus of fer apology to the citizens, and, on the other hand, to the great President, while at the same time appeasing our owrf conscience"
 Liang Shih-yi and other prominent leaders opposed the motion, saying it was the duty of the members of the acting parliament to stick to their posts in spite of troubles which have come upon the country, and try to save the government rather than their own faces.
 After spirited debate the acting parliament adopted the measure by a majority vote.

To Get Rid of Gray Hair

In the June Woman'S s Home COmpan- ion Dr. Alice Farnham Leader says:
 There is something very alarming to many women in the appearance of the first gray hairs. and it is not strange that middle-aged women are often eager buyers of hair restorers and dyes. Many of these preparations are harmless, but others contain lead and other poisonous chemicals very danger ous to use. White hair is sometimes caused by nervousness. digestive dis orders and other things that lessen the vitality of the scalp. It is impossible to restore the color to the whitened locks, but it may sometimes be possibls to build up the general health suffici, entity to encourage a growth of new hair containing the pigment to whict the normal color5of the hair is due.

Islands Built to Order!

r
 In the Bismarck archipelago, now oc- cupied by us, are two small islands that the Germans, with characteristic re- sourcefulness, built up for themselves in sea where formerly no land was
 This. however. is not quite so difficult as it sounds. One must have a founda- ton, of course-a coral reef for prefer ence. Given this, and also an unlimited supply of native labor, and island build ing in these comparatively calm and tide less waters becomes almost as easily pos- sible as does house building elsewhere
 The Solomon Islanders, for instance, are adopts at the art. When the population of any island of the group becomes too big for comfort. they just set to work and build another one, and the surplus families emigrate to it and settle down there.
 The usual plan Is to choose coral reef. which must not be submerged more than three or four feet. raft is first con structed and anchored near the center of the reef, where the water Is shallowest.

 In Southwest bay, Malekula, one of the New Hebrides group, is situated a tiny sugarloaf shaped island, which was en- | tirely rebuilt some year ago by order of our admiralty at the request of na- tive chief.
 The original island was selected by the commander of one of our warships in those waters as a handy object for tar get practice. As result it was prac- tically blown to pieces. The chief of Malekula, to whom it belonged, not un- naturally objected, and the captain of

 Shipwrecked British sailors once built for themselves an island of refuge after this fashion. In 1884 the Queensland labor recruiting schooner Stanley was cast away and battered to pieces on the In dispensable reef, whic his completely sub- merged, and situated more than 300 miles from the nearest inha bited land.
 The plight of her crew seemed hopeless But instead of giving way to despair, they set to work to manufacture an island on the lines indicated above, and lived on it for several months, subsisting on

 This was done. But the chief was still not satisfied The reconstructed island, he complained was neither so big nor so solid as the original one. ''Oh, hang it all.' calculated the badgered commander. Whats your beasty little island worth? !? I'll buy it from you,'
