Shantung is the happy hunting

of geographical facilities which enable

cannot be followed. This state of af-
fairs has been made much worse by
General Lung Chi-kwang, who, after his
FIST defeat in Kwangtung by the
Southern armies, recruited from tn e
Shantung bandtti fresh levies for his
expedition. He secured wholesale a
force of 5000 men by promising to
make their leader brigadier general in
the republican army of China.
Dissati. fed to find no paw forthcon
ing, these "robber recruits" commenced
looting. and attacked the Tientsin P1-
kow Railway, the link between Pekin
and Shanghai Here, however, they me
the Shantung troops, and several ba
ties were fought before the bandits
were dispersed. The IRAN service va
interrupted by the bandits tearing up
portion of the line. General Lung
Chi-kwang denies all responsibility for
the misguided activities of his recruits,
but the government has prohibited the
enlistment Of further men before their
approval has been given. Such is the
state in China to-day.

British Sacrifices Greater
DR.. Albert Shaw, editor of the Re
view Of Reviews, who has just come
back from Europe, made the follow
in" statement Yesterday:
THE great thing to remember is
that through all the painful experience
of the war, the right -mindedness of the
British people and the great beacon
light of British justice shone ever more
early, till the end was reached in
victory, which is now acknowledged
even in Germany to have been one Of
righteousness, and one that will make
for the best interests Of everybody
concerned in the long run.
eve can therefore, make no mistake
in the United States in giving as warm
hearter trust and confidence to the
British people as they are ready to give
to us We have made some heavy sac
rifices, but they have made far greater
The angel of death has come to almost
every home in Great Britain, and to
some homes it has come so often that
1t has taken away one of several sons.
Tender hearted sympathy is in order
on the day when we celebrate Great
Brtain's mob achievements. And un-
restrained admiration for the courage
and persistence of the British nation
is wholly due, even as the British on
the last Fourth of July celebrated the
victory that America had won over
British forces long ago in gaining our
national independence"

SALONICA, Nov. 1.-The opening up
of Bulgaria to the Allies has caused
the release of $6Oo0,00O worth of Amer
lean owned tobacco in the towns of
Seres, Drama and Kavalla, on the Greek
coast of the Eeean Sea, bordering
Turkey, occupied by the Bugars until
their surrender. The transportation
of this supply may materially affect the
shortage in high grade tobacco.
Since the beginning of the war huge
new acrea@es in Greek Macedonia have
become the principal tobacco sources
of Europe The Greek crop has in
creased rs per cent during the war.
The labor comes mainly from skilled
Turkish growers, who escaped from
Smyrna and European Turkey to pro-
duce tobacco in Greece for the Entente
armies.

The East Ohio Gas Company gave

Alliance appeared before the public

shutting off of gas, the attorney for
the East Ohio Gas Company declared
its purpose to give an adequate sup

rather than an inadequate supply to
all customers.

Ocaarabus. Nov So-Ths records of

that over 400 public service corpora

rates to meet added costs of main

enty-eight distributors of natural
gas-about one-half the whole num-
ber-have been given advances in
price by the municipal authorities
which control them. Three-fourths
of the interurban electric roads have
been allowed to charge three cents q
mile.
The most serious situation is that
of the natural gas men who are fail
ing to tap new sources of supply TO
offset the exhaustion of fields both in
Ohio and West Virginia
Over 70 per cent of all Ohioans use
natural gas for light, heat and cook
ing. Many towns will have to return
to coal for heating and coal gas or
kerosene for lighting.
The Distributors Agree.
Each OF the great distributors of
natural gas has warned its consumers
that the pools are giving out; each
has through the newspapers plead
with it's customers to stop wasteful
methods in the use of gas, and the
ill-informed have said:
This is a trick to get boost in
price"
The flow has declined in all fields.
A country can reproduce a forest
for a supply of timber but to get a
new supply of natural gas it viii be
necessary to create a new earth and
then tap it.
