Entente Nations to
Insist on Notionalism
After War Closes

Washington, June 15.-While the
allies are engaged in the struggle with
German autocracy, the problem OF
meeting industrial aggression after the
war also is receiving attention.
France is debating regulations to
compel registration of nationality by
manufacturers and ira des people so
that the nation which has borne the
hrunt of the German assault may not
IN Willingly send gold to provide funds
for another war. Italy has issued a
decree requiring declarations of
nationality. Others of the allied coun-
tries are discussing similar measures,
despite opposition in some official
quarters TO anything savoring Of an
economic war after the war
German duplicity and intrigue re-
strengthened fears in European
to market her goods when peace comes
by means of masked exports" giving
the impression that they originated
elsewhere. Official dispatches, quoting
financial writers. say that it is to be
expected France for some time after
the war ends will be dependent upon
imports, because the most important
industrial Districts have been de-
vastated by the invaders and in order
TO prevent unwittingly buying of enemy
goods. three measures have been sug-
gested as follows
Ito establish a personal register.
2-Te establish trade register
3-To demand the national mark put
on all goods imported into France.
With regard to the personal register.
1t is the intention to make one for each
community, containing the names and
addresses Of all the inhabitants. their
birthplaces and the names Of their
parents. All storekeepens shall hang in
their shops a sign plainly stating their
nationality. On the basis Of this per-
sonal register, a trade register shall be
kept, as in Italy. Spain, Sweden, Nor
way. Denmark, Switzerland, Hungary
and Germany.
There is no intention of boycottins
German goods. Economists have
pointed out that such a step would be
a senseless thing to do and the inten-
ton in France is only TO control the
German imports and keep them with
In bounds so they will do no harm. To
that end, the French syndicates have
suggested that it be made obligatory
for all imports to bear the national
trade mark of the country of origin
writers in neutral European coun-
tries have pointed out that such inter-
national protective system would do
away with all suspicion regarding the
origin of goods, make access to the big
markets easier and protect ther3
against being monopolized by the more
powerful states.
Germany is not missing any chance
to prepare for business after the war,
plans in the making including one OF
such tremendous proportions as
canal between the Black Sea and the
Baltic. The Lubbock chamber of com
merce has reported that the canal
would shorten the transportation Of
petroleum from Batoum to Hamburg
by 5000 kilometers. new markets for
German goods would be opened and
Russian porducts could be obtained by
Germany at much cheaper price than
heretofore.

Only CA soldiers with uniniparied
eyesight and perfect control of their fin

ponds on a mans accuracy of vision
these qualities it takes a man a life
time to learn the trade.
First the men pass thru q training
school. When man is first admitted
he is put to work on marbles such as
he played with when a boy. He cuts
up and polishes the marbles an he will
later do with the real stones. The mar
bles are first sawn in half, and then
ground into shape on a steel disc. This
serves to give him some idea of the fin
ished shape of the real diamond. but
it Is impossible to get the face even
approximately correct owing to the
softness Of the marble. -.
Instead Of cutting the hfty-eight
facets or surfaces found on the I'm
ished brilliant the men cut six planes
on the marble and afterward grind
the base roughly into the shape OF the
collet or neck. When a man does this
skilhuily he is given a small diamond

training when this stage arrives. The
feeling that he has a stone worth from
800 to $3.50 In his possession to cut
and polish gives him sense Of respon-
sibility.
While undergoing training the men
receive no wages, but they receive a
government allowance Of about 81
week. After they have advanced for
enough to be entrusted with diamond
they are put on a wage basis OF from
SO to $50 a week, depending on their
ability. Their training usually occu-
pies period of from three to six
months.

London, May 2S-Thieves is khaki
have been causing Scotland Yard an
endless amount OF work recently Some
new tricks of the thieves trade is al
most a daily development as one Of
the o,rtcomes Of the war.
Even tho London pickpocket, who
/ has escaped military service has found
his profession more profitable, with
fewer chances of detection. when at

the garb of a private. But ii is the
thief or the forger in the uniform OF
an army officer working on a larger
scale who has been the chief concern
Of the Scotland Yard detectives
Crime in London decreased mater
tally with the beginning of war but
it is now on the increase. Thieves and
criminals generally have been edu-
eating themselves to take ADVANTAGE
of tire situation brought about by the
presence of great numbers of men In
uniform. SO the police virtually are
as busy as in the days before the waf
began.
It is an easy task 70. wounded
soldier to get the attention and sym
pathy Of almost any civilian and it IS
upon this theory that many bad check
operat ors have been working recently.
One Of the methods used by spuri-
ous check writer is to make friends at
boarding house or h0tel or store and
eventually reveal touching story OF
hard luck After few days acquaint-
ance he will offer a check. The bet
ter acquainted he has become with his
victim usually the larger is the
amount of the check.
In several instances the wounded
officer" made headquarters in three
places in one district and succeeded in
same day. When the police arrived, Of
course he had moved and there was
rot hing left behind but memories and
the worthless check.
The amounts of the checks vary,
having reached as much as the equiv
alent of $500 IN several cases. But
800 or $3.50 is the amount more COM
monty used by the forger, or the pre-
tended wounded officer who claims
to have money in, the bank.
Two bad check artists who made
the claim that they were Australian
officers who had been wounded In
battle, worked together, each sympa-
ttizing with the other and incidental
ly getting more sympathy from new
acquaintances. And before discovery
they succeeded In cashing checks in
several London districts. The police
found the uniforms but not the men.
In an endeavor to keep ahead Of the
activity OF the thieves in khaki, Scot
land Yard these days Is kept busy.

German Birth Rate Reduced.

London, May 30.-(By Mail)-The
first three years of war reduced by
over two million the number OF babies
who would have been born in Germany
had peace prevailed. says a report Of
the British local government board.
Some 40 per cent fewer German babies
were born in 1915 than in 1918. The
infant death rate, which rose to an alb
normal height for time after tho
outbreak OF war, appears to have grad
ually returned to the pre-war rate.
The food difficulties have not led to
an excessive number Of babies dying,
at least up till the end Of 1915. In tho
towns where tho food shortage was
most acute. the death rate tended to
fall.
