marks. Japan's trade prospects, al
ready bright, have considerably i'm
proved, especially in trade with the
United States, which although or
the increase for the last few years,
has recently begun to show more
rapid advance. During January and
February. exports to the United
States rose $9,500.000 over the same
period last year. and s10,500,O00
above the corresponding period of the
year before last. Imports for the

What We Owe Japan.

In the ten months ending April 80,
1917, imports from Japan jumped to
total of S166,991, 900. For the
corresponding ten months ending
April 80, 1916, the imports from Jap
an were $116(9S6,O Here is an
increase of s5O,OOO.OOO in our pur-
chases from Japan in the period nam
ed; an average increase Of $1,000
600 a month. The increase for the
month of May was still greater, and
the total for June promises to go be-
yond that. This tells the reason why
we are exporting gold to Japan. We
are buying from that country far
more than we are selling to it. This
could only happen under a Free
Trade Tarin'. 1t is time We had 'ae

GERMAN SPIES
YET IN FRANCE
"OLD FRENCHMAN" TURNS OUT
TO BE KAISER'S SECRET
AGENT.

Manchester, England. July 1.-The
cunning of the German Intelligence
Office in being able to keep spies in
France, and the method in which
they are unearthed is illustrated by
this story from France in the Man
chester Guardian.
"Must have been a pretty village
once" observed the Intelligence
Officer.
Eyes. Makes you hate the bally
war, doesn't it," replied the subal-
tern at his side.
A French village had stood on the
spot. Now all that was left were
few masses of tumbled bricks with
here and there the reamins of wall
showing its ragged outline above the
waste of shell craters. A little way
apart lay great pile of masonry
where the chateau had stood, and
leading to it could be traced the
skeleton of its once stately avenue of
trees. Blackened and torn by shells
they now raised their shattered
trunks and limbs to the sky or
sprawled in ruin upon the mud.
Old Frenclman Found.
A scene of utter DISSOLUTION. There
was life enuogh, tho, at the chateau,
for its cellars housed the headquarter
of British division, and cars and
motorcycles and orderlies came and
went continually along the road.
Then, as the two officers watched,
figure, different indeed from the
alert ones in khaki, was seen moving
slowly to and fro in what had been
the chateau garden.
whats that fellow?" said the In
telligence officer.
"Oh, it's an old French civilian.
Used to own the chateau. Huns shot
his wife. He buried some stuff there
he says. Papers all right, you know.
Got permission from the French and
from General Headquarters to come
here. Nice old chap; I've asked him
to have dinner with us tonight"
1--WE got to raise dinner some
where myself" said the Intelligence
Officer.
Righto. Well find you some"
Thanks. So long till then" was
the reply, and the Intelligence Off
Ger went his way.
Recognized As Spy.
The old Frenchman told many
stories during dinner of the coming
of the Germans and of their cruel
blood lust, and no one could with
hold pity from this worn old man
with the look of infinite WEAKNESS in
his eyes.
Finally the Intelligence officer rose
$50 long you chaps, I've got some
maps to do. Thanks awfully," he
said. and was gone.
Five minutes later ne reappeared
with a sergeant and five men and ar
rested the old Frenchman.
Happened to be at Bonn Univer-
sity with him. and recognized him,
tho it is a devilish good disguise" he
explained to the others. Hes an
actor on the German stage, and n
deuced clever spy" he added.

AERO ROUTE.
Across Atlantic After War, Is Prcdic-
ton.

London, une 30.-A transatlantic
line of aeroplanes, carrying passeng-
ers between New York and London in
two days at total cost of about. 81 a
mile was PREDICTED by G. Holt Thomas
in an address which he delivered be-
fore the Aeronautical Society of
Great Britain.
To complete the rosy forecast, pro-
phetic films were displayed, showing
the departure and voyage of a trans
atlantic aeroplane and also the drop
ping of mail pouches at postal air
stations between London and the
North of England.
Has Wide Experience.
Mr.. Thomas, who has had much
experience in flying and building air.
craft, said that aeroplane mail SER
vice could be established commercial
ly. "a special aeroplane will enable
the business man to leave London
in the morning, transact his business
in Paris, and be home to dinner again
he said. at will take him to Bagdad
in a day and a half or New York in
two days"
The cost from London 20 Paris, he
added. would be a fraction more than
81 mile running one machine each
way and with four machines it would
work out at seventy-five cents. A
profitable charge for passengers
would be s25 each. A mail letter of
one ounce could be profitably carried
for one cent and three-pound parcel
for seventy-ive cents. A passenger
could go from London to Marseilles
in eight hours instead of twenty
three, at a cost of $50, or mails could
be carried for two cents an ounce.
Turkey In 20 Hours.
Constanipole could be reached in
twenty hours for sl25 a passenger
and mails at five cents an ounce.
Dealing with greater distances he
pictured Ceylon as being only two
and three-quarter days from London.
Toxic four and half days, Sydney
five days, capetown three and half
days and Vancouver three days.
Lord Cowdray, the chairman of the
meeting. said he believed Mr. Thorn
as estimate of costs to be near the
mark and that it would not exceed
81 mile. In his opinion commercial
flying was bound to come and come
quickly and it would not require gov
eminent assistance after the first five
or six years.

"Tunneling under the Rhine would

"And when they are driven back
