exceptionally pure.
The site of the discovery is known
as Traprain Law. It was once a
fortified area, which covers sixty
acres and gives evidence of occupa-
ton at intervals during the first four
centuries of the Christian era. 1t is
believed to have been at one time
the site of a Celtic settlement under
rule. Its latest inhabitants are
thought to have been Saxon pi-
rates.
Vessels Crushed
Excavators for the Queen street
museum struck q small pit which
was filled to the brim with batter
ed silver vessels and a few coins of
the Emperors Valenh and Gratian.
The vessels were crushed and dis
figured indicating that they were re-
garded as booty and intended for the
melting pot. They include flagons,
chalices, platters. bowls and spoons.
On them a be deciphered Chris

CASINO
RUINED BY WAR
Is AGAIN OPEN
Ostend is Resuming Ordinary
Life as Quickly as
Possible +.

Ostend, Belgium, July s.-After
nearly five years OF war. Ostend Is
resuming ordinary life as far as pos
sible under present conditions, with
the ~reopening of the famous Casino.
A few months ago the great salons
of the Casino were a scene of de-
vastation and wanton destruction.
The buildings escaped the lombard
ment that transformed so many of
the beautiful. hotels and villas along
the Digue into heaps of rubble, and
the use of nine tons of glass has re-
paired all the damage thus occa-
stoned, but the Germans had plum
dered and defled the salons.
Every stick of furniture was
taken away, beautiful tapestries
were slashed and torn by German
bayonets and every mirror in the
halls were removed. together with
the copper candelabra in the salons
and the beautiful copper staircase.
Not content with robbery the Ger
left the whole place in a
state that would have shamed any
animal inhabit!ng a stable. But
since then a miracle has been
wrought, and but for the fact that
some of the more valuable fittings
are at present only temporarily re-
placed by imitation, there is no evil
dence of the war so far as the
Casino is concerned.

Exports Will Shove Cost
of Living Up, Is Warning
of u. S. Reserve Board

Washington, July S.-The danger
to home markets from overenthusi-
asm in promoting American export
trade as we'll as the Importance of
obtaining private capital to continue
a reasonable flow of American COM
modities to Europe is discussed at
length in the July bulletin of the
Federal Reserve Board. The stu
alton outlined by the board as con-
fronting Aemrican business men and
American consumers presents the
four important points:
First. Since the government will
withdraw from the direct financing
of foreign trade. private capital must
be found to continue. The board,
however, shows the future financing
of foreign trade presents an invest
ment rather than a banking prob
lem, and necessary funds must
come from the investment and not
the banking market.
Second. 1t is becoming more ap-
parent that the American consum-
er is vitality interested because of the
reduction of commodities in the
home markets. despite persistent de-
mand for them. Already the board
e e a tendency toward a new adj
vance, in prices If American markets
are stripped for Europe.
Third. Americas trade with Eu-
rope at present is entirely one-sided.
The goods the United States Is part
| ing with might be used for prodnc-
| tive in this country. so the
| transfer now going on amounts to a
transfer OF American capital to Eu-
rope in the real sense of the term.

High Cost Of Living
Is Charged to War
Department Clubbing

Washington, July 9.-The War De-
partment's holding of thousands of
tons of food supplies until six months
after the armistice was signed be-
fore making any effort to sell them
to the public has been a most i'm
portanl factor in maintaining the
high cost of living" Chairman Rea-
Wis, of the special House subcom-
mittee to investigate quartermaster
supplies, declared after the testi-
mony of C. Willing Hare, of Phila-
delphia, director of War Department
sales, before the committee.
ut is amazing that with the
people of the country needing tood
and the Government needing money
the War Department should have
held its huge supplies of food in
storage all this time" said Mr.
Reavis. 1T certainly kept up the
market price of many necessaries. "
Mr.. Hare declared the blame for
the delay rested on Army officers.
who nave been quibbling for a Ions
time on just how much of the sup
plies would be surplus.
Other important points of Mr..
Hare's testimony were:
Herbert Hoover, in spending s1oo :
100000 for foreign food relief.
bought meats owned by Italy in this
country at higher prices than he
could have obtained the surplus
meats of the War Department. Mr..
Hoover refused to buy the War De-
partment food, Mr.. Hare said.
The War Department agreed
with n to hold off the market
fully $100,000,00 worth of canned
vegetables, so as to not disturb the
market during the coming season
Peas, corn and squash were added
to the Army ration to protect the
Gamers rather than because SOL
diers needed these articles.
Large surplusses of food still exist
overseas and at shipping ports. The
value OF American property and
supplies in France is close to $1,000
100000 and for this France has
offered $500, 600, 900 which has been
rejected.
The War Departments efforts to
sell the food consisted of inserting
OF each city, supplemented by a few
circulars.
Nearly all food supplies must be
sold within three months or they
will spoil, The present condition of
most of the food is good.
Horses valued at $500 were sold
by the War Department for $50.
Mr.. Hare gave the following fig
ures as the present food surplus of
the War Department, which he be-
lieves can be marketed:
Bacon, 10000 900 pounds. ham,
$4,000 pounds; baked beans, l.
