SILK PRODUCTION LESS ON
 ACCOUNT OF WAR.

TOXIC, May 6. - The worlds silk production is suffering as result of the war, according to information gathered by the Japanese department of agriculture and commerce. Reports show that the main sericultural coun. tries in Western Europe in the Near East, and Asia Minor had already been affected when the rearing of spring worms was due last year. In most of these countries many laborers had gone to the battlefields, the rearing rooms were requisitioned for military purposes and the mulberry plantations trodden by the soldiery.

WAR LEVELS ALL CLASSES IN
 ENGLAND

LONDON, May 16. - How com. pletely. the war is levelling all social barriers in England was illustrated again at the last of the series of three parties given by the king and queen at Buckingham palace for wounded sailors ana soldiers. The function was attended by upwards of 800 men, who were afterwards entertained at variety show provided by stars of the London stage in the riding school of the royal news.
 Practically all of the members of the royal family excepting the king and queen helped wait on the guests at the tea party. Among the royal waitresses who served and chatted with the guests. taking great interest in their individual stories of adven- ture at the front or on sea. were the kings daughter, Princess Mary, the Princess Rayol, the Princess Chris tian, the Princess Maud. the Princess Victoria, Princess Arthur of Con naught and the Duchess of Teck.
 The king and queen spent two hours moving among their guests and mak- ing soicitOus inquiries, the sovereign eyincing special interest in clearing up particular points as to charges and counter charges in battles that are now historical and reflecting the thorough manner in which he had familiarized himself with the strategy of the war Queen Alexandria. widow of the late King Edward VII. seemed everywhere in evidence and an object of particular affection
 Addressing a bluff looking soldier on attempting to rise to greet him, the king said: Sit down, my good fellow; you've made your stand for US. and in the very best way" Look ing towards the viands, the king ad- ded: But mind you stoke up we'll"
 It was an afternoon of gaiety. of un- restrained laughter and of good fel- lowship, from which all formality was banshed, and in which the king and queen and Queen Alexandria joined unrestrainedly.

great decrease over that in the pre- vious year. On the whole the official report concludes that the worlds seri- culture during last year was seriously affected by the war as we'll as by the abnormal weather. The same can also be said about Japan. Therefore, the worlds silk supply for the present year is expected to be remarkably limited.
