 IF FUEL:G0|NGD DOWN
UBoat War Creates Bad Condi-
 ton, of Affairs in Coal

Copenhagen. Oct 1s.-{Vcorre- spondence) of "a more serious condition in the near future R4 affecting Denmark's supply of fuel, raw materials for industry and fod- k1er stuffs is made by the National Hank of Denmark in 8 summary of the economic and financial situation in this country.
 ''In the latter half of the year," says the report, lowing to the Ger man U-boat war, navigation .znet with such dangers as to become practically a gamble in which the stakes were life and property. Part of the navi- gation stopped altogether and imports were very considerably restricted, partly by destruction or seizure of cargoes, partly by refusal of exports to Denmark by the belligerent pow CTS, conditions accentuated by the en- trance of the United States into the war.
 f''Denmark's trade balance during the war has been good. Our agri- culture and navigation have earned profits which have more than covered the expenditure, and our exports have exceeded our imports. We have there fore, been able to pay our foreign debts and we have great outstanding debts abroad in bills, in credits and In foreign securities. This is all very well, but 1t would have been more fortunate if for part of the profits we had been able to obtain the ar ticles which we want, and which are now more urgently needed than ever before. As is we'll known. this has not been possible.> We have not been masters in our own house as N re- gards imports, nor even as regards ex- ports. Only when it was absolutely necessary have the latter been >stop- ped, for export prohibition always inn pairs one group of home interests and exposes us to the risk of further re- strictions of the import of articles in which the shortage may be even more fatal. Important political considera- lions also come into play here. :. s"The general level of prices has been raised in Denmark and Sweden by 50 per cent, in Norway by more than 75 per cent, and in England by about 100 per cent.

FOR LACK OF USE.
Ten American Locomotives Lying Idle and Are Going to Waste.

Athens, Sept. 30-(Correspondence) There are ten monster American locomotives standing in line on a side track at the Piraeus, the port of Athens, gradually e-.lg to pieces for lack of use. They are evidence of the progressive modern methods which a recent government railway administration sought to put into practice, without, however, making due calculations in advance.
 It was felt that the time had come to modernize Greek railways, and an extensive project was worked out to that end. One part of the plan was to have the latest type of large and powerful American locomotives. These were ordered, and ten of them were shipped across the Atlantic. They were greatly admired when they arrived, but when they were put on the tracks it was discovered that the light raits almost fattened out with the weight
