)STEND ASSUMING
 FORMER APPEARANCE

ostend, Belgium. July 2o.-After nearly five years of war, Ostend is .esuming ordinary life as far as pos sible under present conditions, with
 he reopening of the famous casino. A lew months ago the great salons of
 he casino were a scene of devasta- tion and wanton destruction. The buildings escaped the bombardmea eat that transformed so many of the beau tiful hotels and villas along the DigIe into heaps of rubble, and the use of nine tons of glass has repaired all the damage thus occasioned, but the Germans had plundered and defl'ed the salons.
 Every stick of furniture was taken away beautiful tapestries were slasned and torn by German bayonets and ev- cry mirror in the halls was removed, together with the copper candelabra in the salons and the beautiful cop per staircase Not content with rob bery, the Germans left the whole place in a state that would have shamed any animal inha biting a stable But since then miracle has been wrought, and but for the fact that some of the more valuable fittings are at present only temporarily replaced by imitation, there is no evidence of the war so far as the casino is concerned.

NO USE MADE OF
 MAIL INFORMATION

London. June 16.-Dispatches from New York relating to the complaint of the Merchants association of New York to the American Postmaster General that British censorship of American mails was being used for the benefit of British business interests have aroused widespread discussion in busi- ness and trade circles in Great Bri- tain.
 The question whether this is true has been put in Parliament and the financial secretary to the war office replied that in no case have sufficient particulars been supplied to enable the statement to be investigated; that without any particulars 1t was, how ever, possible to give a definite as- surance that a no time had the Brit ish censorship been employed to help British firms al the expense of their rivals in allied or neutral countries.

FREY PRESIDENT
 MAKES COMMENT
An Interesting Feature of the Reconstruction
 Period"

The piping times of peace are with us once again and it's fair to assume that the so-called reconstruction period has been successfully, passed-or at least the first-phase of it. The second phase seems to promise an even greater and more widely distributed volume of bus ness
 Many business men have felt that the reconstruction period was purely 'mentaP' condition and nowhere. we suppose. is this more surely thought than in the automobile tire business.
 year ago, production had been se- verely cut and the reduced production could not take care of the demand.
 Today, production is at top capacity, but the demand for good tires still out strips the supply. A large portion of the "reconstructive' prosperity be- longs to the sudden impetus, or rather l unrestrained impetus, of the automo- bile and allied industries.
 The leading tire men of the country think that there is much greater pros perity ahead. Crops are big-prices are high. and although living is high, wage lis also higher than ever before ir peace times Men and women have mon | ey today to buy merchandise hither- to out of their reach.
 MT. Firey president of the Star Rub ber company. recently commenting or the situation sad, Our faith in tn. future is shown more by our action: than our opinions. We are building an' extending as fast as we can, but stil the demand for tires keeps ahead o us It seems like a stern, er-endint chase to catch up with actual sales
 And, in that hive of rubber industry Akron, all the factories are working a high pressure from whistle to whistle
 And" remarked MT Firey, "mor good tires are being bought today thal ever before. People are buying the bes they can get in spite of price-an that's a very healthy indication"

THINKS GERMANY
 OFFERED TOO MUCH

Berlin, June 14.-Richard Calwer, financial writer. believes that Ger many's offer of financial indemnity supplies her enemies with weapon which may encourage them to fo'ce her to pay a still larger sum than that offered He writes
 "Germany. tEey will say. appears 10 be still quite solvent and her cre1is uniupaired if she is able to offer a gold indemnity of 100.000,000 on her own initiative. If she volunteers tEas much, she is in reality capable or *cx- ceedlng that limit. will be the enemlAs logic, and it is surprising to think this had not occurred before to men re- sponsible for the offer"

ITALY DEVELOPS
 HER WATER POWER

Rome June 12.--Italy's lack of coal
 has forced her to depend more and more upon electric power. During the period of 1914 to 1918 more than s1Go.- OO0 coo was expendede on water power electric plants by electric companies in Turin and Milan
 Italy's annual consumption of coal reaches t2,0O0 900 tons For all of it she is dependent upon either Eng ld or America The war naturally made the transportation of it difficult problem. so Italian engineers were forced to build large hydro electric stations. Italy could save at least three-fourths of her coal consumption by using her water power, according to Signor Maffeo Pantaleoni, engineer and dean of Italian economists. Much of it remains undeveloped.

Major Crissey Relates More
German Grimes i'm Serbia:
Many Men Are Crucified

Unspeakable brutalities were prac-
ticed in Serbia by the Germans, ac-
cording to Major W. H. Greasy, an
American, who served as medical Of
ficer in the Serbian army and who
recently returned from the war zone
after four years with Allied forces.

form of punishment was to tie the
victim to the wheel of a comissary cart
so that his head struck the ground at
every revolution of the wheel. I have
found countless Serbians crucified with
nails to the trunks of trees"
The officer warned the clergymen to
watch for German propaganda. "Only
last week." he said, 81 held in my hand
an Iron Cross of the first class. 1t
was one of those sent to this country
to fourteen loyal Americans for rem

Closer Supervision for
All Charities Suggested
Secretary Johnson, of State
Board, Thinks Child Welfare
Would Thus Be Aided

Extension Of the right of supervision
over all charitable institutions now
possessed by the State Board of Char
ltles was urged yesterday by Charles
s. Johnson, secretary Of the board, in
his address before the third annual
conference of the New York State AS
soclatlon of Child Welfare Boards in
City Hall
Mr.. Johnson said that the condition
OF children would be improved bv
closer cooperation between the asso-
citation and the State Board of Chart
ties, He pointed out that the board
has now the right to supervise only
those institutions to which it amor
TONS funds each year, and EXPRESSED
the belief that it should have, instead.
the right of inspection Of all institu,
tions which have the care of children
OF adults.
DR.. Henry L. K Shaw, of the Di-
vision of Child Hygiene of the State
Department of Health, suggested n
closer relationship between his de-
partment and the various welfare
boards. He also urged an extension
OF the child welfare movement.
Mrs. Sophie Irene Loeb told Of hor
visits to child welfare organizations in
various European countries. She
praised especially the system estab~
hshed in Scotland, where children are
boarded out in private families, who
consider 1t an honor to be THOUGHT
worthy of their care.
