Plan to Combat
 'No-TObaccO' Move

Louisville, Ky, Dee. 12.-The Allied Tobacco league of America, formed recently in Cincinnati for the purpose of organizing tobacco interests of the country to combat anti~tobacco campaigns, has in- augurated it's work in Kentucky among 3o0,o0o resident tobacco men.
 Five counties have established branches and, according to Em- melt Orr, Louisville, field secrc- tary, meetings of tobacco growers, Warehouscmen, dealers and others connected with the tobacco indus try are being held in most of the counties of the state. Mr. Orr said keen interest is being shown in the league.
 Although no organization eo far as known has directed 2 cam palgn against use of tobacco, lea que members said they had infor- nation that several bodies con- templated such a drive following their victory in prohibition # of liquor.

U. $. Commercial Interests Launch
 Chinese Effort

Tokio, Dec. 13.-Referring to the recent arrangement of an American Chinese joint banking corporation with capital of $1O,- 0O0,000, the Kokusai news agency says that this enterprise may be regarded as foreshadowing the opening of economic activity by the United States in a postwar commercial and industrial cam paign to China.
 It adds: "It is obvious that with the aid of the American fi- nanciers the northern military group of China will be enabled to carry out a policy favorable to their interests in the future, which will eventually affect the interests of the southern group. There is no doubt that the hand-shaking of the American and Chinese bankers in the establishment of an Ameri- can-Chinese bank lays the foun- dation for joint operations of Am erican and Chinese capitalists in the economic development of China in the future, matter which calls for the keen attention of Japanese business men who are closely interested in the economic development of China"

Social Unrest
 Blow to Commerce

Buenos Aires, Dec. 13.-A fall ing off in Argentina's foreign commerce during the first quarter of 1919, as revealed by the report of the director general of national statistics to the finance minister is attributed by business interests to the labor troubles and social un- rest which prevailed in the coun- try during that period.
 It is held that a decline of near ly 50,000,OO0 pesos gold in teh value of the exports compared with the first quarter of 1918 was at least partially due to the port strike in Buenos Aires. There was also falling off in the tonnage of imports although an increase in "real values" of 12,0OO,O 900 pesos.
 Satisfaction is expressed that notwithstanding these handicaps the report shows a trade balance of more than 60,00Gg0 900 pesos in favor of Argentina. There has been a marked increase in exports during the last two or thrae months and it is expected here that the loss for the first quarter will be more than made up by the end of the year.

City of Vienna
 Lost Big Amount
 in Business Deal

Vienna, Dec. 13.-Mayor Reu. mann has just disclosed to the Vienna City council a loss to the city of 13,000,000 crowns thru a business venture undertaken by a former council headed by Mayor Weisskirchner. On the beginning of the war Mayor Weisskirchne1 organized a committee to collect public subscriptions for the relief of soldiers and their dependents It is charged that Weisskirchne1 advanced huge amounts from this fund as well as city moneys to Hans Hafner, who undertook to exploit several schemes for the ner's ventures was the operation benefit of Vienna. Among Half of a large plant for the produc- tion of artificial milk and a fac tory to manufacture footwear from patented artificial leather. A building was erected for the milk process scheme, but it was nev- CT put in operation while the shoe factory proved a dead loss.
 To cover its losses it is charged that Mayor Weisskirchner drew upon funds raised by needlework guilds and upon other charities all over the country and also from the profits of municipal war kitchens without acquainting the opposition members of the council of his action.
 No accounting of the charity funds was ever made so that the use of those funds was not dis covered until the present govern ment took office.
 Weisskirchner and certain of his associates now have been called upon to explain these trnasac- tions. Meantime the city is be. ing sued by manufacturers in Slo. vakia for vast quantities of arti. ficial leather fabrics which they furnished to provide Hafner with material for manufacturing shoes

Hundreds Still
 Behind StOckade
 Wires in Holland

Harderwijk, Holland, Dec. 13- Hundreds of men and women of all nationalities, considered unde- sirable, but accorded refuge and hospitality by the Netherlands, are still confined behind barbedwire fences in the big war internment camp here. They still are sources of trouble to the Dutch govern ment.
 Many of them are war refugees, escaped from Germany, or Bel glum, and to their number, since the war, have been added several sources of Russians, of Bolshevik tendencies, whom the government has confined here for safe-keeping.
 The Russians have been partic- ularly troublesome, but the means taken by one of the Duh military officers in charge of the camp to control their actions are reported Tn the Dutch press to have been so severe that recently a number of Dutch soldiers are said to have mutined rather than obey the or ders.

5000 Cast Votes
 for Landru at French Elections

Paris, Dec. 13.-Nearly 5,00( voters in and near Paris cast thei, ballots in the recent election fo1 Henri Landru, for member of the chamber of deputies. Landru has long been held by the police anC accused of being responsible fol the disappearance of 13 women tc whom he is alleged to have prom ised marriage.
 His witticisms have made him very popular with the Partisan public and this accounts for the fact that 5000 persons raised the names of candidates registered at the ministry of the interior and wrote Landru's name on the bal lot.
 Landru was called before Judge Bonin on election day for examin- ation as to the whereabouts of the Widow Collomb who was register ed on the ballot list as his fiancc number '.
 Landru paid little attention to the judges questions, glancing pensively out of the window at the heavy snowfall. When the judge reconstructed with him he said:
 q am greatly concerned about the outcome of the elections. These proceedings here do not interest me, but l fear for the future of my country. What calamity should bolshevism rule in this land!"

Convicted With GOebel, Youtsey
 Finally Freed

Louisville, Ky, Dec. 13.-Henry
 Youtsey, convicted in connection with the murder of Governor Will liam Goebel of Kentucky 20 years ago, is now a free man, restored to all rights of citizenship after IS years servitude. Governor James D. Black granted his pardon, after Youtsey had been paroled De- cember a year ago by the state board of prison commissioners.
 The murder of Governor Goebel occurred shortly after a sharp cleo tion contest, both republican and democrats claiming they had won. The governor was shot in the back as he was emerging from the state capitol at Frankfort, and later Youtsey and four other politicians were tried and convicted on char ges of implication. The remaining four persons have long since been pardoned.

Prohibition in
 America Boosts
 Sugar in England

London, Dec. 3.-Prohibitior in America has helped materially in raising the prices of sugar two cents a pound in England, accord ing to the economic experts. This is the way the situation is ex- plained:
 Since the American has been cut off from his cocktails he has been consuming prodigious quan, titles of candy, and has been drinking oceans of nondescript but sugary connections which are vended over the soda fountain bar. At least such is the observa- tion of his British brethren. Tn other words, the American is mak- ing sugar a substitute for alcohol. Because of this the United States has less sugar to export, and be- cause there is general shortage of sugar throughout the world England cannot get what she wants and consequently has had to raise the price.

Britain Seeking
 u. s. Cooperation
 in Flying Project

London, Dec. 13-Maior Genera
 SIT r. II. Sykes, British Controlle
 General of Civil Aviation, hope,
 to arrange for complete co-opera
 ton between Great Britain and tn,
 United States in all matters re
 latlng to flying. This is the pur
 pose of his journey to America. or
 winch he expects soon to leave.
 ", The American Ambassador, Jno
 W. Davis, told General Sykes at 8 farewell luncheon to the British Controller that he thought Ameri- can cooperation might be taken as assured.
 General Sykes said that the h. ternational Air Convention. based m the main on regulations for air navigation in Great Britain, now had received the assent of all the powers allied and associated in the war except the United States and Japan.
 "The national tendency in air. craft development in Britain" said General Sykes, ''is to allow indi- vicual enterprise to work out it's own salvation in the main and no scheme of government subsidies such as that in France has, so far. been adopted"
 But he pointed out that did not mean that the government will spend nothing to promote enter- prise.
 With a view to stimulating the efforts of designers and manufac- turers of heavier-t -than-air craft and to guiding them toward the attain ment of greater security and reli- ability" he continued, "an official competition has been instituted which is to be held next year. The prizes offered amount to 964,OO0.
 The rules of the competition are framed to encourage those attri- butes which are required in the fu- lure.
 Prizes will be given first for the small type of airplane required for ouslness, pleasure and sporting flying in the British Isles; second- J' 1oA CliC IdIS ISC WGlS SHC-CdIIylIS machine which experience suggests will be necessary to meet the con- litions of trans-continental traffic; and, thirdly, for type of am- flying boat which, in view ,f it's power to alight on and rise rom land or water, cannot fail to ind many uses."
 The Civil Aviation Department 'f the Air Ministry, he states, is m entirely ''new departure" on he part of the government. Its is to advise the Aircraft industry and render it all assist nee possible, to open international citations, to lay down internal and versea air routes, to establish sta ions for landings and departures, 0 deal with all meteorological mat CTS, and to provide information on hat subject as we'll as a host of thers connected with aerial navi- .ation

Hawaii Prospers,
 Report Indicates

Washington, Dec. 13-Continued prosperity in Hawaii was noted in the annual report today of Cover nor c. J. Mccarthy.
 Exports of all kinds, including sugar and other foodstuffs, were valued at $83,343,648, while im- ports were $10,922,921, a decrease of $955 ,407 compared with the year before.
 Enforcement of the Prohibition act has resulted in marked de- crease in crime, Governor McCar- i thy said, but "there is large quantity of illicit liquor manufac- tured, and the federal authorities are endeavoring to stamp out this traffic" Utilization of stills made of galvanized iron has poisoned the liquor in some cases, the report stated. Jail sentences instead of money fines were suggested as a check on the traffic.
 Seventy-nine corporations, in- cluding mercantile, agriculture, banking and savings and loan con- prove the harbors are needed, the year. Twenty-six banks are in operation in the islands. Their total deposits are $35,349,134.
 Additional appropriations to im- United States engineer service report said, so as to provide ade- quate facilities for the increasing number of trans-Pacific liners stopping at the islands. Concrete piers, varying from 600 to $50 feet long are under construction by the of trouble to the Dutch govern and the necessary shops for mak- ing repairs to vessels also have been provided.

Dealers in Old
 Clothing Having
 Bad Buying Field

Dallas, Tex, Dec. 13.-Dealers in old clothing are having hard road in Dallas this winter. In bygone years Tuxedos and tailor. mades were sold to old clothes men "for a song," and the business thrived. But it is different story now.
 Old suits and dresses scarcely can be bought at any price, sec ond-hand dealers say, and even remnants and rags are being held jealously by mistresses of Dallas homes.
 One dealer declares he is meet ing with but one reply in his quest for cast-offs-"No, we are going to wear old clothes this year; prices are so high we 6a1 afford to buy new ones.

Flat Irons Take
 Pups Place With
 Women Thespians

London. Dec. 13.-Flat iron and saucepans are replacing the Pek- ingese pup and lunch basket of the touring actress now-a- days.
 This change has been brought about by the scarcity of coal and gas in provincial towns and by excessive charges for laundry work. Actresses have to warm their food over the gas jet after q night performance and during the day use the saucepan to heat wat CT for washing clothes. Then the flat irons are brought into use.
