R0TTERDAm'S SHIP TRAFFIC
 SHOWS ENORMOUS DECREASE

many, Switzerland, Scandinavia and Holland
 Germany, Austria and Belgium be- ing cut off from the Netherlands East Indian market, and Britain's supplies being mostly confined to textile goods and fertilizers, the report says Ameri- ca and Japan took advantage of the position to considerably increase their sales in the East Indies. America supplies more machinery and ironware than formerly, and her exports to those colonies are expected to increase. 1t is probable, in the Chambers opin- ion, that Japan will continue to serve the Netherland East Indian market after the war. So greatly has the war hampered telegraphic communications between mother country and colony to take 10 to 12 days. If Holland re- mains true to it's free trade policy, the Rotterdam Chamber of Commerce anticipates that she may after the war fill an important role as middleman between the present belligerent coun- not at first be of the best description.

Nearly half Rotterdam's ship ping traffic was carried on with Brit ain. Norway and Sweden. The other half was with the United States and Argentine, whence came the country's grain imports.
 A large part of the Rhine fleet was employed In the transport of gravel from Germany and Holland over in- land waterways to Belgium. This ma terial is destined for German military and other uses, and it's conveyance through Dutch waters has not been viewed with much favor to the Entente Powers. Holland maintains that such transport is permissible under inter- national law, and that in these cir cumstances strict neutrality forbids prevention of the traffic. Another con siderable part of the Rhine fleet. in the absence of the usual busy traffic with Germany, was chartered to carry coal from Belgium (Antwerp) to Ger

 DENVER, Colo, Sept. t7(ey Mail

Local officials see in the closing of the municipal wood yard a few days ago an increase in general prosperity. The yard, in which a man could earn enough to keep himself and his family from starvation. was established five years ago as test for charity. If an applicant for charity showed himself willing to work for dollar in cash or dollar and a half in groceries was paid for Q days labor there, the city would assist him.

GROW FIGS IN FLOWER POTS
Fruit Will Ripen II Given the Same
Treatment That Is Accorded the
Rubber Plant.

The fig Is one of the Oldest fruits
known. and since it has become known
that figs can be grown In pots and
fruited in the conservatory or In the
open ground, where there is three
months warm summer weather, there
has been great demand for the
quick bearing varieties by people anx-
lous to grow fresh figs. These vari-
cites begin to fruit by the time the
young shoots are 6 inches long and
form a fig at every leaf. Unlike APP
pies, peaches and other fruits of the
kind, the fig is more like the raspberry
or blackberry In the respect that the
fruit does not ripen all at one time.
Figs continue to develop and ripen
fruit until checked by cold weather.
For pot culture the fig requires about
the same treatment as q rubber plant,
and If supplied with plenty of water
the fruit will ripen. Vigorous plants
will have fruit In all stages of devel-
Dpment, from the smallest green fruit

of mystery and awe came over US as
the night began to fall and we entered

There are no hotels on this island
In fact, 1t is absolutely without a per-

the director of the French excavations

fered to put us up. However, as the
wire we had sent never reached him.
our arrival caused him no little sur
prise; he had seen our boat, and
thought we were Greeks carrying con-
traband goods.
Delos is the smallest but the most
famous of the Cyclades, and the birth
place of Diana and Apollo. to whom it
has been forever sacred. In 426
B. c., to ensure the sanctity of the
island, the Athenians passed law
that anyone whose condition seemed
to threaten its pollution by either
birth or death should be at once re-
moved, and finally they expelled all
secular inhabitants.
The following morning Monsieur
Replat took US all over the ruins,
which are very extensive; he had
good deal to do with the excavations
at Delphi, and considers these even
more interesting. We saw the site of
the ancient city where, under the
