INDIA NOW ENJOYING
GREATEST PROSPERITY

Simla. India, (by mail).-Travelers In
Inola oday constantly hear business
men max the statement that never has
India been so prosperous. Sir VIII
liam Heyer, minister of finance. saws:
economically, India is more pros
perous'than she ever was before. Ac-
cordlng to western IDEAS she is still a
very poor country, but she is adyanc-
ING, as can testify after a, service of
90 years here. There has been great
development in India's agricultural and
industrial enterprises, and the govern
ment has just recently taken another
step in the appointment Of a strong,
COMMISSION to consider the possible
Ties OF further industrial development.
since l900 the progress has been
remarkable. Between 1900 and 1910
the number Of cotton mills Increased
from ~. to 30 and the persons en-
pioyed from $4,000 to 215. 900. The
production OF warn rose from 34s, oOo.-
WV 70 o9",ooo, GOO pounds, and Of woven
goods from 95, 200, 600 to 215.OOO.O 900
pounds. Jute mills increased in num-
Der from 36 to 60 and the persons en-
rloyed from 10000 to 100000. Fur
ther, the percentage Of manufactured
GOODS imported into India as compared
WIN the total imports has been stead
liy falling, while the percentage of
tm~anufactured good among the exports
mas been simultaneously rising. Ag-
l3cuitufe. OF course, is the main indus
Try OF the country. and during the 10
Years under question the net area es-
tlnlated TO be under crops rose from
lS0,0oo,oho :" 2..S, 900. coo acres.
We have suffered. naturally. in va
rlous directions from the war and at
one time we We're threatened with
crises affecting the c]ultivators in re-
spect or the .iute and cotton industries.
lhese nave, however. been successfully
s~ufn!ounted and at present these in
dustrles are in & prosperous condition,
ana lhe COTTON ryot in particular is
getting very good prices for his pro-
duce.'
AS to how the additional wealth
whlch has accrued to India was dis
tribLted, Sir William said:
"A good a of money is bearded.
Eince the traditions which grew up
curing many generations Of insecure
government are not easily shaken, out
deposits IN n have increased con-
~s,derably. There has Deer a Very con-
siderable increase in the standard OF
comfort of the people, and the rise in
prices, which has occurred in India as
well as in western countries, has ma
terially benefited her agricultural and
industrial population, though 1t has

middle classes. There are

GREAT BARRIER
 GUARDS ENGLISH CHANNEL WATERS
Connected With Mines Which Explode If Barrier
 Is Struck.

A British Port on the Southeast
 Coast. July 24-Across the eastern
 mouth of the English channel there still stretches the great barrier, which
 is one of the principal defenses of the
 Allies vital channel traffic against
 the visits of the German submarine.
 The great barrier consists, in gen.
 eral terms, of series of "obstruc-
 t1ons'' stretched from huge steel
 buoys, shore to shore, 20 odd miles.
 Any craft that strikes one of these
 Instructions straightway explodes q
 group of mines which spell ffnis to the intruder.
 A whole fleet of naval shipping is constantly engaged in maintaining and patrolling the great barrier. Its existence is no secret to the Germans, for they are constantly sending over aeroplanes to chart the buoys and mark any changes that may have been made since their last visit. The changes are constantly being made. Here and there along the line are secret openings through which naval
 pilots may guide legitimate craft on
 their way, but these openings are fre- quently altered. and not even the aeroplanic eye of the German can tell which buoy marks safe passage and which marks destruction. If these mine-laying submarines wish to enter the channel they must take their chances. They must cross sub merged, for the patrol boats are on constant duty, and if they escape the traps while submerged it can only | be said that another miracle has hap pened.

ENFORCE FEDERAL
 CHILD LABOR LAW

Washington, July 24-Proposed regulations for enforcing the federal child labor law were discussed by producers, manufacturers, dealers and others at a hearing today in the off, flee of the assistant secretary of la- Dor. The hearings were conducted by the advisory committee to the att torney general and the secretaries of commerce and labor, who are consti- tuted under the act a board to for nnulate regulations.
 The discussion dealt principally with acceptance by the federal author ities of state employment certificates. the form of the producers guaranty by which a dealer can protect himself from prosecution and administrative questions. The new law, which takes effect Sept. 1, prohibits the shipment in interstate commerce of products of factories employing chil- dren.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-07-24

Sometimes explosions are heard at night from the great barrier, indi- eating that something has touched off a group of mines. Immediately the patrols hurry off in the direction of the explosion. What they find there is a we'll kept secret.
 2 Last'week the Germans tried a new plan to break the barrier. They sent over three aeroplanes with orders to descend low over the great barrier, at any risk, and shoot their machine guns into the buoys, thus sinking them and the barrier with them. But the patrol boats were on hand and two of the three seaplanes never re- turned to their German base.
