lifting balls on the putting green in
medal plays.
The new rule upsets one of the
cardinal rules of the ancient Scottish
game, by providing that the ball near
est the hole shall be played first when
both balls are OIL the putting green.
The new rule reads: 7
when both balls are on the put
ting green, the ball nearest the hole
must be played first. If stymie ex-
lists and the balls lie within a put
ter's length of each other, the ball
farthest from the hole must be lifted
on request until the nearer ball has
been played and then replaced in its
previous lie. Penalties. for violation;
Loss of hole in match play; two
strokes in medal play.
Under no circumstances, except, as
above, shall ball on the putting
green be lifted. Players in all rounds
must observe this rule and ignorance
of it will not be accepted as an ex-
cuse for its breach"

Der of them are expert knitters al

One pathetic incident illustrating
not only the necessity of donations

Mrs. Troup's division has occupied her
time all day long knitting socks and
then unraveling the work. only to re-

when millions of men in the fight
ing lines are in desperate need OF
warm knitted garments it seems the
irony of fate that willing workers are
prevented from doing their bit be-
cause Of lack of funds said one OF
the workers.
Mrs. Troup is also trying to arouse
interest among the women at the Dear
and Dumb institute, who have accom-
plished such beautiful work making
hospital supplies.

JAPAN NOW AFTER
THE FOREIGN TRADE

TOXIC, Feb. 26.-Favored by the
European war, which has opened up
new markets in foreign lands for Jap
auese goods, Japan's external trade has
nearly doubled in value over the figure
before the war.
The trade balance for 1916 recorded
an excess of 350,000,000 yen in the
amount of exports over imports. Such
enormous excess has never been real
ICED in the foreign trade of Japan since
the country was opened to interna-
tional trade. The war has offered an
opportunity for Japanese to develop
or exploit new markets in European
Russia, South Africa. Australia, the
South Sea Islands, South America,
China, Europe and North America,
where unusually large quantities OF
japanese goods were exported.
The Importance which Japan gives to
the development of her foreign trade
is seen in decision just gazetted to
appoint five new government officials
to be designated as industrial and
commercial attaches. They will be
stationed at New York, London, Shang
hal. South America and the South Sea
Islands. Their mission will include
travelling to neighboring points and
cities for the inspection of industrial
and commercial conditions with view
to furnishing Japanese commercial ano
industrial circles with first hand know
ledge from foreign lands.
The commissioners will be appointed
from among the ablest men in bust
ness circles and will have no con-
nection with diplomatic or political af-
fairs. They will, however, be attached
to the foreign office which thus creates
a bureau of commercial and industrial
commissioners.
