than in ordinary lines One Of these
places appears to have been in the

OF War TRO-
Plies ON LAST LEG
TR|UMPHAL SWING

Chicago, Sept. %. Thousands OF
war trophies gathered from the battle
fields, loaded on two special trains,
were today OH tile last leg of their tri,
umphal swing through Iowa, Indiana
Illinais, and Wisconsin in the interests
Of the Liberty loan committee of the
seventh federal reserve district.
Practically every large town in the
four states and numerous small towns
were included in the itinerary. The eX-
llibits were taken from the United
Estates government war exposition IN
Chicago and started on the tour Sept.
1S. Each train was composed of three
fiat cars. one box car and a Pullman.
Additions were made to the exhibits
by the government in the shape of new
14-inch shells, depth bombs and like ar
ticles. Each train was gaily decorated,
the Pullmans sporting streamers OF
colorful bunting and the box cars cam
Ouilaged according to the latest mode
at the front In many towns it was i'm
possible for the trains to linger for
more than one or two hours, as the
large list precluded many lengthy
stops.
One train pulled out Of Chicago for
fast trip through SO cities in Iowa,
the first stop being Waukon. Other
Iowa cities on the list were Charles
City, LeMars. Fort Dodge, Webster
City, Waterloo, Dubuque, Clinton, Iowa
City, Davenport and Des Moines and
Burlington This latter city will wind
up the tour Sept. 29th.
Tie other train made its first stop
ut Clinton Junction, Wis, and thence
through Il list Of 46 cities including
Madison, Maricnette, Green Bay and
Milwaukee. The Wisconsin tour ends
in Milwaukee Sept. Goth. Illinois and
Indiana were receiving less attention,
as the committee figured people from
these states had ample opportunity to
view the exhibition in Chicago.
Qualification was expressed at the
rOusing welcome given the exhibits and
the enthusiasm aroused.

Using too Much Dyn-
aI7lite in Russia! /!

Toxic, Sept. 23.-The output of gold
from mines in Korea for the first hah
Of 1918 was only $1,GOO,OOO. a reduc-
tion of 100000 from the same period
OF last year. The big American and
European mines at Unsan, Suan and
Chicksan maintained their usual rate,
making their total output $1,51O.OOO
The reduction came entirely from the
mines managed by japanese and Kor-
cans. Their smaller mines have been
faced not only by an unchanged selling
price for gold. but with increased min
ing costs. owing to rise in the cost of
dynamite, quicksilver and chemicals.
