PROF|TEERING NOW FINE ART IN ALL
 PARTS OF SIBERIA
No SpeculatOr Is Satisfied With Less Than 100 Per Cent Profit-Often Se-
 cures 1000 Per Cent

omsk, Siberia. July So.-(Corre- spondencc of the Associated Press) Profiteering has reached it's apex as ga fine art' throughout central and western Siberia, where no speeulator is satisfied with less than 100 per cenr profit and often gauges as much as 1000 per cent out of his hapless GUS toners, according to stories coming in here.
 These traders, many of them snug glers, who, taking advantages of the shortage of everything except the products of the country, the unsta ole value of the ruble and the difficulties of transportation, centrive to get through with few pairs of shoes, particularly ladies' shoes a few bolts of silk or dress goods, a few cases of timed fruits, or in fact, any foreign made product whatsoever, reap rich harvests

JAPANESE "C|GARS" REACHING MEXICO
 ARE CRUDE OPIUM
Papers Say Profits on Single Shipment of Opium Ran Into Millions
 of Pesos
By Asssciated Prem

FN~~NNf@N~N
 Mexico City, August 12.-A shipment of crude opium consigned as Japanese "cigars" was imported into Mexico through Saline Cruz on March 30, 1917, from Kobe, Japan, according to declar- ations made by w. F. Hermann, de- scribed by the papers here as Ger man banker" in a deposition made in
 court, following a vigorous anti-opium campaign by the press.
 Except for raid by police and health officials and the legal inquiry in which Hermann figured the opium expose has not been pressed in the courts. Although Hermann, in his deposition, did not give the size of the shipment imported in 1917, the newspapers de- clare it totaled 5000 kilograms and that at present prices, was valued at 3,5o0,- 900 pesos. In the raid crude opium valued at 23,000 pesos was seized 1t is said, and thousands of tiny empty tins. supposedly used for retailing the prepared drug, were found.
 According to the newspapers. the profits of the opium trade, on the one shipment referred to, ran into mil lions of pesos. It is said that an in- volved system is smuggling resulted in most of the narcotic being sold in the United States. It was shipped as cigars" sent over the line Tn automo- piles equipped with double gasoline tanks and carried across in hand bag gage by a band of Gerpans, according to the revelatio here
 Since the Mexican law does not pro- hibit importations of opium, the federal department of health, being concerned only in it's sale the drug dealers con- fined their operations to sales by devil ous methods in the United States. Ilroy oh 0f to have operated at Nuevo Loredo, Mex, New York and San Francisco.
 During their campaign against the traffic, the papers printed charges and names of personages as though libel laws did not exist.

Plan International Road

Connecting the United States with the countries of South America by means of an improved highway for automobiles is the plan proposed by New Mexico man for consideration by the n-American uniop conference which met in Washington, D. C., re- gently. Such an international road says Popular Mechanics Magazine would run between Fl Paso, Tex, and Bogota Colombia, if built according to the plan outlined by it's promoter and would pass through Mexico and the Central American republics. Work 's being done at the present time on highway between Fl Paso and Mexico City, the federal government of Mex leo and the governors of several Mex- ican states cooperating with Amer jeans in it's construction.

ITALY NOW MOST EXPENSIVE LAND
 IN WHICH ID LIVE

Rome, August 14-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)--Ttaly is the most expensive allied country in which to live, according to statistics pab- lished by the Populo Romano, which observes that the human body must be furnished with $500 calories day" and that this would require a ration equal to 500 grams of bread, 150 grams of meat 20 grams of oil, 500 grams of potatoes. 75 grams of rice. 75 grams of vegetables 250 grams of milk. .5 grams of sugar and 60 grams of fats
 such ration costs PC cents in Lon- don, 30 cents in New York, 49 cents in Paris and 50 cents in Italy," says the Newspaper, whose estimate is con- firmed by the statistical society of Berne. which shows the rise in the cost of living in the varlous countries as follows:
 Italy, 4S1 per cent; France, 36S per cent; England, 240 per cent, and the United states, 220 per cent. Of course, it must be remembered that the cost of living, before the war, was higher in America than in Europe.

BOX SYSTEM DISCONTINUED
Fire Alarms Hereafter Must Be Sent
In By Telephone


II your house gets Attire use the tel
ephone. Don't attempt TO send in a box
alarm for the very good reason that all
but four OF the alarm boxes have been
discontinued. The city electrician to-
day began the work OF removing the
boxes. }
The box alarm system. Installed
years ago when telephones were not
numerous. now proves an expensive
adjunct to the f.Fs department without
proving serviceabsA
Last year there Nsre received at the
central station thirty four box alarms,
thirty-three of which were false. ana
in the case Of the one call which PROV
ed to be real alarm. the deoartnent
was notified Of the fire by telephone
before the alarm from. the Box had
been fully received.
OF the ISL alarms received last year
one was turned in from a box, and in
that lone case the telephone was used
to better effect than the box The box
system has cost the city $500 10 $500 a
year thru the department responding
to false alarms, besides the cost OF
maintenance. without giving the cit;
any service

partment but no longer will have
meaning to the general public. The
numbers OF the old boxes hereafter will
represent the site of the box, represent
ing a certain district, and will be of
value only in giving the waterworks
force an indication of the location of
the fire. by sending in ann alarm from
the central station to the power plant
The box system has proved unrei-
able in many instances. while the teie-
! phone seldom fails. The four boxes TO
remain in service for.the time being
are No. 1872. East Afain street, between
| First and Second avenues; No. 81, in
West Main street. between Center and
First streets, and No. All, corner Third
avenue and Church street. which are
designated business phones and are for
] police use at night. and No. 224, cor
liner First and North streets. Co.
Many Of the numbers on the alarm
card have not been represented with
boxes but have indicated certain To-
calities, for the convenience Of the de-
partment in locating fires.
| The ineffectiveness Of the actual box
system Is shown by the condition in
the extreme. western side OF the city

street. served all territory to the west
