The Emperor and Empress deter
mined on visit to England in order
to try to establish themselves in the
courts of Europe. 1t was danger
Gus experiment, but Eugene was
carefully heralded beforehand as a
descendant of Robert Bruce. 1t was
explained that her grandfather, the
wineshop keeper, was descended in
the direct line from the Bruces and
thus in her veins ran the royal blood
of England. 1t was a fiction that
has served her to this day.
Napoleon and Eugene were re-
ceived with great pomp and cere-
mony in England, and when they
returned to France they knew what
was lacking at the Tuileries. Euge-

SLAMS EXPORTS
OF RICE FALL OFF
Demand in One Month Sends
Local Price Soaring 100
Per Cent.

In a recent report vice-Consul Carl
c. Hansen at Bangkok. Siam. states that
the rice exports Of Siam for the first six
months of 1918 showed a considerable
decrease as compared with the corre-
spending period Of 1al7. For the sue
ceeding six months also the rice snip
ments to foreign countries continued 10
be low, except for December, during
which month they advanced to 93,5Ss
short tons, valued at S4.66s.590 gold,
against 52,291 tons. valued at $2,3s4,i77,
In November and 53.191 tons. valued at
s2,402,2e4, in october.
On account Of the heavy foreign de-
mand local retailers were selling rice al
100 Der cent. above prices ruling shortly
before. These unprecedented exports
were taken principally by the BRUSH
Straits Settlements and Malaya' wnich
countries even under normal conditions
are the chief customers in tho Siam rice
market. However, the call for more
than the usual quantities was thought 10
be the result Of the prohibition OF the
export of rice from Burma. except under
license, the latter country having oeen
for many years past the main source TOT
the cheaper rice imports into the STRAITS
Settlements especially.
According to the monthly customs
summary the rice exports through the
port of Bangkok for the calendar year
is1S totalled 7ss,1S1 short tons. valued
at s3S,179.536, against l,S77'soo tohs'
valued at 33s,291.747 In 1917.
According to invoices at tho Amerl-
can Consulate at Bangkok, the rice ex-
ports from Siam to the United states
amounted to 9.4+5,467 pounds, valued AZ
s173.S65, In the fiscal year ended Marcn
al. 1914; l,767,304 pounds, valued az
S147,S96, in 1915; 1o,ss1,bo+ pounds.
valued at $l74,6l3, in 1915, and S02'4oo
pounds. valued at $12,124, in 1918. NO
shipments were made to the United
States in 1917.
Practically the entire rice milling In
dustry in Bangkok Ia In the hands OF
the Chinese, the European mills having
ceased to operate. However. IL ID I'M
derstood that a Swiss arm Is about 10
start milling very soon. Inc Chinese
rice millers as a rule do not sell direct
TO Europe or America, but, do business
mainly with Hongkong, Straits Settle
ments, lava and Japan; the rice ex-
ported to other countries Is generally
supplied through European export firms
locatOi in Bangkok.
Rice milling machinery was almost
entirely supplied by Germany before the
war began and during the war Us I'M
portation has practically ceased. There
are more than nifty mills in Bangkok
and about ten are located In other parts
of tho country The value of the I'M
ports of rice machinery in the pre-war
year 1914 was $Ss,7S8 gold and In 1910
$ll4,s50, the highest value recorded IN
1918 the entire declared value reached
only $3.50, the United Kingdom being
the sole country OF origin.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS
IN FAR EAST TRADE
Notes Gathered From Widely
Separated Points.

According to Far Eastern press notes
gathered by the Bureau Of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce
The coal mines opened last year at
Holikangixu, Manchuria, in which 1000
men are employed. are producing q very
good quality OF coal. The length of
these beds u said to be about sixty
seven miles. 1t Is proposed to build a
light railway from the mines to the
sungar River. q distance OF about forty
seven miles.
Australian coal exporters are making
a strong bid for the Philippine market.
They are offering their product at n
much lower price than the Japanese
dealers. who have heretofore held the
monopoly\in this commodity. The low
est Australian price recently quoted was
about s3.36 per ton f. o. b. mines. while
that quoted by the Japanese was s12.75
per ton I. o. b. mines.
The Dutch East Indies expects to in
crease greatly its export business In
hores through the sale of Aren fibre.
This material Is obtained from the Aren
palm (Aren0o saocahdrfJerd, Labill }.
1t Is in the form of long, heavy fibres
which remain on the palm after the
fall OF the old leaf stems. 1t has a

AMERICAN FILMS
EXCITE FAR EAST
Gun Pictures Work Bad Influ-
ence on Natives, Who Strive
to Emulate Them.

Australia guarantees the quality Of
many Of its exports by a system Of Gov
eminent inspection. The Philippine Gov
eminent has a similar system concern
ing cigars. The time has come when
some such system should be applied to
at least one American export-motion
picture flms-for many OF those now
sent abroad. while innocent enough at
home, are most damaging to the repu-
tation OF America when shown to i'm
questionable natives.
1t is particularly true Of the Far East
that native peoples look to America as
to a guiding star; their idea of America
Is gained In largest measure through
the movies, and among the Aim fans OF
the world none are moro enthusiastic
than these selfsame people of the Orient.
These people believe pictures. Studio
streets are real streets TO them and
studio vampires and villains are real,
everyday people OF American business
and society. 1t is one OF the unfortunate
characteristics of Oriental psychology
that constructive pictures do not make
the impression that the blood and thun-
der pictures effect. so the kill 'em quick
and often pictures are, next to the slap
stick comedies, the greatest drawing
cards. But newspapers and magazines
cleaned up and toned up their advertis-
ing pages to the everlasting benefit OF
the publishing business and to America.
They did IL voluntarily. The picture
publishers have the same privilege.
Until two gun pictures were shown In
Singapore and the Malay States the
authorities had almost no trouble with
the natives carrying concealed weapons
Unfortunately these pictures appealed to
the native love Of excitement and were
accepted by them as true portrayal OF
American life. Shortly. stabbings AND

COastinE Freight Charges From
Yokohama Lower.

Consul General George H. Scidmore,
writing from Yokohama. says:
"Coasting freight rateo from Yoko-
hama are somewhat lower than those
ruling last month (April). owing to
decreased shipments OF timber, bean
cake. &C.. from Dairen, where, 1t Is re-
ported, a number Of ships ara tied up
without SUFFICIENT cargo. The condition
of the ocean freight market is still un-
settled. and rates quoted differ accord
ing to daily circumstances and indi-
vidual shipping.
There are many cross currents at
fecting ocean rates, chief of which is
the expectation that about 100000 tons
Of shipping will be released in May and
June. This. In connection with the
launching last month (April) of eleven
steamships totalling 44,s42 tons, has
created an atmosphere OF uneasiness
In some quarters as to what dispo-
sition will be made of them. Then.

MAN TALKS ON OIL AND GAS FOR
NATION

The strongest possibilities OF there
being oil and gas in Southern and East
ern Arkansas, particularly in the Ar
kansas River valley was voiced by Dr.
\. +. Drake, geologist at the University
OF Arkansas. DR.. Drake, in lecture,
told OF the theories OF formation OF oil
oganic from chemical decomposition or
bacterial action of buried remains OF
plants and animals, and inorganic, when
carbides of lime or iron come in contact
with water inside the earth
Oil is not found where it is formed,
stated Dr. Drake, but among sedimen-
tary rocks that have certain peculiar
structural conditions. The high degree
OF metamorphism existing in the north,
ern and central parts OF the state AZ

It is not in industry that the trou-

suited in a small damage.
Chief Gattis and his city fire-fight-
ers responded quickly to the call
but the fire had gained neadway be-
fore the department was notified.
Mr.. Stine suffered a loss of six
tons of alfalfa hay and 40 per cent
loss of his barn. Damage to the Ter
ren property was 80 per cent of the
value of the construction, the barn
being empty.
The fire yesterday afternoon was
the fifth call answered by the fire
