Steel Orders For
Orient Picking Up

New York, March 26.-Two fac
tors are expanding the expectation
of American steel to the Orient. In
the first place, the steel price re-
visions are helping to brighten the
outlook for trans-Pacific orders. But
even more important is the fact that
shipping rates to the Far East are
being cut heavily.
Already $4,000 tons of rails and
like quantity of steel plates are
under order in this country for de-
livery at Oriental ports. A demand
for rails is reported in Russia ana
for finished goods in Japan. British
estimates place the capacity OF the
United States at forty-eight million
tons of steel, this production making
an export of eight to ten mlliioh
tons possible to foreign countries
A great factor in American steel
shipments to the Orient is the re-
duction of ocean freight rates. The
first of the year, for instance, we
lost an order for $500 tons of ship
plates to England because with
rate of $50 a tons to Shanghai,
American steel could not compete
with British on the Chinese mar
ket.
The revision of rate schedules to
the Far East makes it possible to
law down American billets in the
Orient at S69.50 by utilizing the
Panama route while British billets
cannot be delivered under $12.5o.

as worthless are expected to asgrc-
gate not more than $3,000,000. 1t
has not been possible to estimate the
amount necessary to settle contract
claims, because inventories of eN-
penditures for material and labor on
ships which will not be completed
have not been made. A total of
more than $100.000,000 in contracts
has been cancelled, but in many in
stances work had not begun.
The shipbuilders We're frank in
stating that the decision of the
Shipping Board to confine its fu-
ture construction to steel vessels
meant that at least 90 per cent. of
the facilities for building wooden
ships would be useless in the fu-
ture. Vessels now on the ways will
not be completed, orders having
been given to finish only the hulls,
which probably will be used as
barges. According to figures given
at the meeting, there are now 17O
wooden ships for which machinery
is not available. They will be con-
Verted into bargeS or SchoonerS.

ters of the American Expeditionary
Force in China has issued a new Or
der that may result in a number of
American soldiers who have served
four years remaining in China to

new order reads as follows:
Organization and detachment

port of all enlisted men who have
completed four years service in this

tary of the Navy Daniels, after his
investigation of camp conditions at
Brest, gave the Associated Press the
following statement:
I have spent portion of two
rainy days in the camp at Pontane-
zen, and it rains $50 days out of the
year here. L have seen more than

and have conferred with scores of
officers and many men just from the

where the soldiers sleep. l visited

just as many are fed in the eleven

Says Future Human
Race Is Up to Women

London, Mar. &c. - There are one
and half million women in this
country who will never have the
chance of getting married. is the
statement of Miss Norah March, edi-
tor of National Health. In 1917 there
was a surplus of 1,3S7,000 marriage
able women over marriageable men.
and since then there have been the
war casualties of 1918.
Miss March says that emigration
will remove few of these surplus
women while economic independence
will prevent women from marrying
men for the sake of a home.
Many men and women in this age
of modern advancement says Miss
March, are getting different views
from those held in the past. and re-
gard women's right to motherhood as
supreme individual prerogative.
Having such a wide choice of wives,
the question remains as to whether
the men will choose the best and
strongest women, is upon the women
will depend largely the future human
race, since the best of manhood has
been cut off The choice really rests
with the woman for with her is the
right of refusing an offer of mar
riage.'

TURKS KILLING

Loot and Massacre Population
South of the Black
Sea

London, March 6.-Information
received here from Batum indica<e~
that, despite the surrender of the
Turkish forces, the position of the
Greeks south of the Black Sea and "
the Caucasus is tragic.
1t is alleged that outrages are be-
ing committed by the demobilized
but still armed Turkish reservists
and that the Young Turk command
er. General Halid Pasha, has been
pursuing a policy of systematic ex-
termination of Christians.
This officer who is a friend of Enver
Pasha, is said to be supplying arms
to Turkish irregulars in the Rus
sian territories evacuated by the
Turkish army. Lately he received
from Turkish sources 200 carloads
of arms and munitions.
1t is charged that these reservists
and irregulars loot and massacre the
Greek population.

Appetites

Paris, March 26.-Cooks at the

ference are staying are amazed at
1.-The appetites of the Americans. The
lAmerican breakfast upset all calcu-
l1ations in the French hotel accustom-
ed to supplying guests with rolls and
coffee as an early morning meal.
Wild calls for ham and eggs. beef
steaks, chops, oatmeal and hot cakes
surprised the French cooks, who,
latter weeks of catering to the hun
tgry Americans. have not become rec
lonciled to the American breakfast
menu.
The American fondness for hor5
d'oeuvres also caused CONSERVATION.
Great dishes of beet pickle, potato
salad, sardines, cold slaw and other
Irelishes served as d preliminary to
ithe conventional French dinner, dis
lappear so rapidly that it has been
necessary to employ many additional
cooks to prepare delicacies of this
sort. Americans. help themselves so
freely to this initial course that they
Frequently have little appetite for the
isoup, fish and other dishes which
follow.
AS the hotel kitchen can draw on
army supplies for its food, the Amer
iicans have many delicacies not avail
able generally in Paris cafes. Ices,
ice cream and pastry made with real
tsugar are offered to the peace dele
Igation. In most Paris hotels and
tcafes saccharine is used for such
purposes, and even for sweetening
lcoffee. The hotel where the Ameri-
leans stay also has an abundance of
E-white flour and genuine white bread.
ELSEWHERE in Paris the bread is dark,
land even pastry, when available, is
rmade from brown flour.
