BUILDING in LONDON
CHECKED BY UNREST

LONDON, March IS (by maiD.-
With the signing of the armistice it
was expected that building operations
in London, suspended by the war,
would be quickly resumed. But SO
far there are no signs of renewal Of
work on dozen or more huge unfin-
ished structures in various parts of
the city.
Labor unrest is the cause assigned
by one big contractor for this state of
affairs IF it were not for the labor
unrest" he said, 81 believe we should
be so busy that we could employ the
services of every man available. The
unrest is not confined to the building
world. Manufactures, banks, insur-
.ancc companies and other large cor
porations which have been thinking
of rebuilding are for the present
holding their hands"

ENGLISH MAKE GIFTS
OF CATTLE TO BELGIANS

LONDON, March II (by maiD Six
hundred Shorthorn cattle of the very
bst breed have been presented by the
Royal Agricultural society of Great
Britain to the people of Belgium, and
300 of them have already reached
farms in the vicinity of Bruges. The
remainder will follow in a few weeks.
The cattle, which are valued at
100000, will be supplemented in the
near future with additional gifts, after
which more cattle are to be sent to
Serbia and France to take the places
of the livestock killed or carried away
by the German invaders. Money for
the gifts is being collected in all the
English cattle raising counties, and
leaders of the movement expect the
fund to reach $1,250,OOO within the
next few months.

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe

1918 10 per cent for the common stock
and paid per cent. In dividends, has
differences of opinion with the Railroad
Administration, which f. p. Ripley,
president of the Company, says, may re-
suit in future contention and litigation.
The differences lie in ALLEGATION of equip.

question. The remarks, which Mr.. Rip
ley addressed to the Stockholders, were
as follows:
THE railway operations OF your COM
pany were conducted, during 1918, by
the United States Railroad Administra-
ton and, in a certain sense, the net re-
suits were matter Of Indifference since
the compensation received by you was
not effected thereby.

every wet municipality in Ohio, the
biggest state in the country to have
voted prohibition The authorities did
not anticipate trouble in any commu-
nifty as a result of the expected hi
larity.
Stocks Rapidly Disappear.
For several weeks some commune
ties have been preparing for the ad
vent of prohibition and the number Of
licensed drinking places, which totaled
$500 few months ago, has been con-
siderably reduced.
Saloonkeepers report that for sew
eral weeks stocks Of wines and whis-
kies have rapidly disappeared. Vir
tually all the finer wines and liquors
have been disposed of. Despite the
unusually high prices that have pre-
vailed, the dealers say thousands OF
dollars worth of liquor has been
stored in private warehouses and eel
lars for private consumption.
Scores of saloons that closed today
will reopen shortly as lunchrooms and
refreshment stands. Several brewer
les will reopen as ice manufacturing
and cold storage plants.
No Enforcement Laws.

without the usual prohibition enforce
menI machinery. For the present the
prohibition laws will be enforced by
state officials.

bill was passed, but minus an emerg

Livingston was rich and proud, and
most selfish. She met him again, lat
er, In France, where her father regain
ed his health In the life he loved and
had missed SO long. He did a valiant
thing for France, too.
And Livingston, after being in the
uniform of our soldier boys for few
months. decided she was not to marry
simp after all, unless he was one.
And he wasn't for he became hero
and q mans man, and the leading
character In q story of conquering
strength and fascination.
One of the biggest scenes, as far as
emotional strength goes, in Petit
crews Girl" Ethel Clayton's new
Paramount picture, shows the return
Of victorious troops from France. For
the making of these scenes soldiers
were brought to the studio at Holly
wood, Calf, from nearby environments
and the officers were OF great cid In
making the action realistic.
The officers of the bodies which
were used consented to act in their Of
ficial capacity before the camera, d.
recting the movement of the troops in
proper military fashion. Realistic
settings were constructed in the stu
dio to represent the transports in the
harbor. etc., and the parts of the pic
ture in which this action takes place
are tremendously effective.
