in report of an investigation of the
industry made public by the tariff com

Importation Of cheaper baskets vir.
tually has stopped. Prior to the war
Germany was the largest maker of the
commodity for the American trade. Then
Japan, which had taken up the task aft
or the blockade of the German coast f.,
was compelled to reliuquish large ex-
port trade in baskets to this country
because of an increase in ocean freight
rates from So TO $50 per ton.
In this country, says the commissions
report, scarcity Of labor, strikes, in
creased cost Of material and higher
wages have resulted in rise in price
of the finished article from 100 to 300
per cent. As result many of the large
commercial consumers are turning to
substitute containers made of papier ma
che, pastboard and wood veneer.
Willow and rattan basket making in
this country is chiefly household indus

veneer baskets is carried on i'm factories,

EX-NEW SBOY OF LONDON
HAS WON FAME
BY Splendid Actions on the Field of Bat
tie, Where He Served as Stretcher-
Bearer-He Has Been Awarded
the Military Cross Twice.

! Behind the British Lines in France
May g Correspondence of the Asso.
eiated Press One OF the familiar char
acters of pre-war days in London was a
I street Arab newsboy who sold papers
outside one OF the hotels most frequented
by American visitors. Delighting in the
nickname Frog faced Tch.' he won the
admiration of visitors as master of
repsrtee, varying his nightly refrain of
"All the Winners" and Orrible Muir
der with ironical comments on the
worlds events and caustic replies to pc
destrians who yentured TO handy words
with him rs they passed.
Persons who knew Itch Tapley in the
old days would scarcely recognize him
now in his khaki uniform, with a
crowned" ribbon on his breast indicat.
ing that he has been twice awarded the
priced military cross His comrades of
the London regiment. moreover, declare
that if he had been awarded a medal on
every occasion on which be has merited
it, he would be covered with ribbon from
head to foot of his diminutive body.
Too small to go into the army by the
regular channels. Itch, after several
trials, was accepted as stretcher bearer
in the London regiment At the front
he quickly became one of the most popu
lar men in the regiment. Oae OF his
officers in n report to headquarters, said
of him, "Cheerfuness, courage and devo-
ton to duty, and disregard Of danger are
as much a part of his equipment as his
haversack and his water bottle"
Tspley probably looks less like a hero
than any other man in his battalion But
his csustic, good natured humor, which
was little more than an amiable diver
sion in civilian life, became an invaluable
asset in the trenches, keeping up the
morale and optimism OF the whole bat
talon. His officers find themselves con
tinually paying tribute TO his usefulness
in this respect. One of them wrote in !
letter a short time ago:
His gospel, whether consciously or
not, is the gospel OF cheerfuIness, and in |
practice it works out that his spirits |
grow lighter in proportion as dangers
and discomforts grow heavier. His tests |
in time of stress provide just the electric |
spark that turns the hearts of men from
gloomy pessimism into luminous def
ance"
The ex.newsboy has the reputation,
from Lens to st. Quentin, of being abso
utely fearless. In his work as stretcher.
bearer, he goes busily about among the
falling shells, always whistling popu-
ar tune, with an everready work of
sympathy and encouragement for the
