7 ONDON. Oct 1s.-The reason why
l. every man from king George and

nifty worker IS advocating more pro
duction and greater national econ
omy is that England Is fast eating
up her capital in current expenses.
That is because the war has
changed Britain's world position. Be
fore the war billions OF dollars IN
American securities were owned By
britona. The United States paid In
tersst on these securities IN food
stuffs, raw materials and manufac-
tured goods. During the war the
British government bought these Sc
curities from their British owners
and sold them 70 Americans N part

terial- The result is that instead OF
the United states having 70 send
England a surplus balance OF goods
as interest, Great Britain VIII have
70 send america goods The tables
are turned.
In the face OF this Great Britain Is
launching upon expensive but neces-
sary schemes OF housing. increased

Berlin. Oct le--German royalty is
beginning TO recover from the blow
inflicted By the revolution. one by
one the former dukes and princes
creep forth home from their hiding
places and assert their claim TO a
place in the sun
For instance. Karl Eduard, former
duke OF CoburE- G0thas appeared in
the Gotha civil court yesterday and
filed suit against the state Of Gotha
for the recovery Of his fortune which
was confiscated by the local govern
ment last July after he had refused
10 accept 100000 marks as final
settlement for his property
Similar action has been taken IN
the court OF Arolsen by the former
prince OF Waldek-Pyrmont
The fate Of the former kaiser S
property and that Of his family is
stili in doubt The Prussian govern
ment has just made an order author
