Washington, June s.-America' 5
great gain of gold, which has grown
with almost every month for two AID
ole-half years, has ceased.
Gold importations have stopped al
together and the flow has begun the
other way, with indications that il
will continue in comparatively small
volume for some timo,
The turning of the tide comes at ~
time when the country faces the great
est industrial period of its history;

lest twelve months, which witnessed
the establishment of a S6,000,O00,O00
record for American exports
Cessation of gold imports to set
tie trade balances when trade baIan-
ces are heavier than ever before
against foreign buyers is virtually
novelty in Americnn finance. On
he whole, it is regarded as healthy
development, as further accretions
might tend toward initiation All for

issues.
With the establishment of these
credits, it is explained, the Entente
governments, which nave bought the
hulk of American exports, have found
L unnecessary to continue sending
gold to settle trade balances. They
r-ill send their bonds instead to Sc
nre the credits advanced them
Neutral nations will continue to set
tie their balances largely with gold
Neutrals having trade balances
against the United States, officials
believe, will call for settlement by tn.
export of gold from this counn..
Evidences Of this intention are man
fest in recent gold shipments to ia
pan, Spain and Mexico. Japans trade
balance last year against the Unit
cd States was S73,0O0,000; for the
first nine months of the present fis-
cal year it is $4,000, 900. The Unit
ed States will ship approximately
S25,000,000 in gold to Japan this
month and probably $1O.00O,0O0 to
Sl5,00O,OOO to Spain.

CIVILIANS ARE
TO Be BILLETED

BE REGULATED.
FOR SHELL WORKERS
PRICES FOR BOARD AND LOLG-

Problem OF How to Take Care of the
Munition Workers in England
Is a Serious One.

Correspondence of Associated Pressl
London, June S-The government
| as solved the problem Of billetng
civilians, persons engaged in muni-
tions and other work of national I'M
portance, by creating the Civilian Bill

is Gerald France, a member Of Par

Director of Landladies and Controller
OF Lodgers."
The billeting of soldiers is prac-
tice with which many households haze
become acquainted for the first ti1e

civilians is altogether novelty. 1t
presents many complex problems. F.
instance in some manufacturing towns

bees in search Of places to sle-p-
Places built for a population Of 5000
have been asked to accommodate dou-
be that number.
In the early days of the war an @c5
was passed to prevent landlords eN-
plotting tenants by raising rents, Tat
there was no such safeguard for lodg-
ers, and in many parts Of the COM
try grasping landlords have been
f.eecing the munition workers. 81
contrast with those who overcharCe,
there are many families with spare
rooms who steadfastly decline to rcat
rooms at all, and so rluch space IS
wasted.
The Civilian Billet!ng Board IS
brought into being to eliminate the
tangle. Working through local com
mittees, it will have the power to re
uuire households to billet civilian
workers and to provide board aad
other conveniences. Prices will De

ledger defaults, the local committee
will pay. Also the committees VII
act as arbitrators should landlady and

otherwise grossly mesbehaves himself
is liable to a penalty of 800.

War Developments.

Developments in the United States
position III the war are rapidly show
ing that ours will no. be the mere
giving of money and moral support,
as the nation thought would be the
case, a year ago, should this country
be involved in the struggle.
General Pershing's arrival this

with which the nation is meeting the
problem, Not a moment lost, yet no
blare of trumpets made, Already, dis

Of the army when it arrives. Already

troops, and shortly our troops will be

But two months ago public opinion
was certain that America would take
nc physical part in tn. war. But 2
short time ago the idea Of draft was
thought impossible. Yet the demands
cf the situation have brought the
draft about, and hav, made actual
cooperation with the army and navy
a fact.

swiftly moving, and al branches of
war work must keep pace with the
of the government. /

Besides being the most important
social event of the month, the fete
Civen by the social committee of the
Ten Thousand Club on Wensley ave
rue last vening was the most unique
ard hugely enjoyed affair given in
Eaany moons. A great crowd of young
people filled with the carnival spirit
danced TO the sweet strains of ne

Dancing seemed to be the favorite
attraction, but many other features
dl eW their share of attention. Two
real gypsies told fortunes, and many
victims came smiling or signing from
their tents.
Madam Maruisc, the Abraham Prin-

Sleep is great preserver of youth.
Eight hours at night and a short nap
during the day will do much to keep
the face free from wrinkles. Always
sleep with the bedroom window open
a few inches at the top, both in sum
mer and in winter, says a physician.
A daily morning bath, tepid in winter
and cold in summer, with a brisk rub
to follow, viii keep the skin fresh and
clear. Two hours must be passed in
the open air, walking, riding or play
ing games. All tight clothing, and
especially tight lacing, must be avoid
ed. as compression disturbs the cir
culation and is often the cause Of en-
larged veins and red noses. A cele-
brated woman, who was famous even
in her old age for her beautiful, clear
complexion and freedom from wrin-
kles,1 was once persuaded to tell the
secret Of her youthful looks The an
swer was simple. Abstinence had
been the rule of her life. No tea, cot
fee.or stimulant of any kind To keep
well drink lemonade or water, eat APP
pies, grapes and figs regularly. Take
the raw juice of a lemon every day.
Never fail to walk regularly. Battle
frequently.

at a late hour one evening, relates an
exchange. He glanced at the clock,

Then he waited, nervously.
At the end of ten minutes, he sue
ceeded in catching his walters eye.
Look here, how long am I going

of eighteen months slept in the same

early and tormented his still sleepy
father with questions.
Father, can a COW speak?"

"Father, can a dog speak?"
The father, thinking carl was going
through the entire list of animals that
he knew, said severely:
mo animal can speak. And you
must now keep quiet, for father wants

For long time the child remained
quiet; then being no longer able to re-
strain his curiosity, he asked timidly
"Father, what kind of an animal is

HALIFAX HORROR
STUNS DOMINION
Disaster Probably Most Fearful
That Ever Occurred on the
American Continent.
TOTAL LOSS OF LIFE UNKNOWN
Will Surely Be Numbered by Thous-
ands-Stricken City One of Great
Britain's important Military
Posts-lts History.

The disaster at Halifax, which cost
| the lives of at least 1000 people,
though the exact number will never
be known, plunged the Dominion into
mourning. 1t probably ranks as the
most fearful that ever occurred on
the American continent. Residents of
Halifax and thousands of volunteer re-
lief workers who came into the city
were dazed at the extent of the hor-
ror.
The Belgian relief ship limo collided
with the French munition vessel, Mont
Blanc, loaded with 5000 tons of 7. N.
T. and large quantity of benzine.
The impact set fire to a deck load
of benzine on the French ship and the
flames quickly communicated with the
munitions, resulting in practical
bombardment of the city.
The zone of destruction in Halifax
itself extended from the North street
railway station as far north as Afric
vile to Bedford basin and covered an
area of about two square miles in the
section known as Richmond. The
buildings which were not demolished
by the force of the terrific explosion
We're destroyed by the fire which fol
lowed.
District DenseIy Populated.
The devastated district was the old
er part of Halifax and thickly popu-
lated. 1t contained, in addition to
Citadel hill, many churches and
schools, the railway station, govern
ment docsyard, Wellington barracks,
Admiralty House (the official resi-
dence of the admiral in command of
the North American British squad
ron), the military hospital, post Office,
provisional parliament building, city
hall, the ordnance department. most of
the department stores. all of the tele-
graph and cable Offices and few no.
tells.
The better residence district was al
most unframed. 1t lies sOuthward
from the Queens, and includes most of
the churches, including st. Mary's Ro-
man Catholic cathedral.
