the idea. on the theory that Paris,
with all it's attractions, was not the
proper place TO study music, as the
temptations to waste time were too
many for students.
Following a recent meeting between
Mr.. Casadesus and Mr.. F%ragnaud, sub
project of Fontainebleau and a great
lover of music, the historic place was
selected. 1t was agreed that 1t was
an ideal spot for such a project and
that American students would not be
subject to the influences of u great
city.
The municipal Council unanimously
| voted the 100000 francs, which will
be added to by French donations to be
expended for proper lodging and

The school will be conducted for
the benefit of students of both sexes
who have been studying at American

closing down of the munition plants,
it may be seen that Canadian supplies
are not large.
In anthracite coal apparently Can
ada cannot complain; as from the
period April 1 to October 81 there
were imported 2.s00,54s tons, an in
crease of over 100000 tons over the
same period of 1918, although a de-
cline of some 100000 tons over 1917.
Victory Loan Big Success.
The Canadian government is natural
iy delighted over the magnificent sue
cess of the victory loan, which has just
closed. The official figures to date total
$673,199,790. There are still some re-
turns to come in. which will bring the
total we'll up to $700.000.000. All that
was asked for was $300.000,00O. This
is the sixth domestic loan which has
been raised in Canada since the begin
ming of the war. In view of the TACT
that before hostilities began the Cana
dian government depended entirely for
it's flotations on the London and New
York markets, the achievement OF Can
ada in financing itself for all its war
and domestic expenditures, in addition
to credits to Great Britain and Euro
,ean countries, is a remarkable record.
to the six loans has been we'll over
S2,500,0OO,OOO. The loan of. the fall
of 1918 showed no less than 1,104.2S7
applications, or about one in eight of the
population. When the returns are all
in the record for the present loan will
be equally high.
The production of news print is rap
idly becoming one of Canada's greatest
industries. Probably no industry is do
ing so much to help level the balance
of trade with the United States as the
pulp and paper industry. as the largest
,of h@t,,
shipped to American newspapers. Ac-
cording to official figures at Ottawa,
Canada is now producing 2,775 tons of
news print per day. or about 100000
tons per annum. Four of the largest
mills will increase this output by an
average of 10000 tons per year, ac-
cording to their present plans of ex-
pansion. In addition three new pulp
and paper industries are planned for
the coming year.

LIVERPOOL TOLLS TAKE
JOY FROM DUBLINITES
First Vessel in Direct Shipping
Line to Irish Capital Is Hit by
Old Rate Rule.

DUBLIN. November 1 Correspond
ence Of the Associated Press).-Grati-
fication in Dublin over the establish
ment of direct shipping service with
America changed to disappointment
when it was found that the Liverpool
charges had been made on the cargo
of the first vessel to arrive here from
America.
The Dublin importer has had to pay
a charge of nearly SO a ton for Liv-
erpool port dues carriage in Liverpool
and freight from Liverpool to Dublin
though the vessel came direct to Dub
lin and never saw Liverpool. The ex-
PLANTATION given by the consignors is
that the matter depends upon the
terms of the contract which, being
made in the old form. contemplated
these Liverpool charges. In future it
should be easily possible to eliminate
this difficulty.
The matter is, however treated in
the Dublin nationalist press as a re-
vival against Ireland, of the Infamous
navigation acts of 1860 to 1871, under
which no Irish ships were al
lowed to sail the seas.
The principal difficulty in the way
of the permanent establishment of di-
rect traffic with America is said by
economists to be the absence of suffi-
cient return cargoes. Irish manufac-
turers are combining to meet this diff
dculty.

CENTRAL CONTROL
s. Of SHIPPING ASKED
Improved Legal Regime for
U. S. Sea Traffic Is Ad-
vocated in Brief.

Control of maritime affairs, now
scattered among several federal de-
partments, by one central authority
is strongly urged in brief advocat-
ing an improved legal regime for the
American merchant marine, prepared
for the National Marine League of the
United States of America by Carman
F. Randolph, q member of the New
York bar.
Not only private ownership of ships,
made possible by attractive selling
prices from the United States Ship
ping Board, but vastly improved
shipping laws are vital, according to
the leagues brief, for American re-
tention of the merchant marine fleet
created by the war.
Plea for Codified Laws.
1t is pointed out that while the
greater part of maritime Jurisdiction
lies with the federal authorities, the
phases of it handled by the states
should be restricted in order to gain
a unified legal program for the entire
country. A strong plea also is made
for a codification of American ship
ping law.
CnanC SnlpplHS avs Vi Ac'' s'''N NV,
the plea sets forth. the German mari
time code Of 1902. the Scandinavian
codes (Sweden, Norway and Denmark,
the French, Italian and Japanese

Whilst even Great Britain, differing as
she does from her continental neigh
bors, in avoiding general codifca-
tion Of law, has lately embodied in
code form such vital parts OF mari
time law as marine insurance, general
average, bottomry, etc, we Americans
still lack these advantages. Yet no
branch of law more urgently demands
codification than that which affects
the seagoing ship and her cargo.
..Now is the time to base u compre-
bensiye regime on the general mari

much to develop, and on the Consti-
tuition of the United States, whose

vision of existing navigation treaties
is considered inevitable by the league.
Stress is laid on the fact that Amer

not more, of foreign trade.

German newspapers express grave

that the newspaper industry is
threatened with strikes because OF
personal political differences among
their employees. The plan of permit

Organized labor cannot count on the
farmers TO join it in any efforts to
further shorten the hours of labor or
increase wages. Furthermore. organ
lied labor must very shortly heed
concerted demand from the farmers
that it not only cease agitation along
these lines, but that it use its best
efforts toward "exerting steadying
influence" in these turbulent times.
particularly by refraining from strik-
ing.
This stand of the farmers of the
United States is outlined in resolu-
lions recently adopted by the Interna-
toinal Farm Congress at its annual
three-day session at Kansas City.
The resolutions begin by pointing
with pride" to the splendid war pro-
duction record made by the farmers
and pledge to continue to produce
in such measure as may be required

after renewing to the hosts of labor
