LARGE sums I. .
ARE SPENT BY
THE BRITISH
People Who Made Big Prof
its During the War
Extravagant.

London, June 25.-(Correspondence
of the Associated. Press.)-England's
newly rich. the persons who have ac-
cumulated millions during the war
and since, are buying at any price de-
manded furniture from some of the
ancient houses Of the country, Jewels
from some Of the looted places Of
Russia, and other continental coun-
tries, and paintings from anywhere If
they bear the mark of time.
There is no lack of jewels for those
who have the price and are willing to
pay. Many beautiful pieces of jewelry,
the history of which is not given by
could only come from the wealthiest
families of Russia, are finding their
way into the market. Enormous prices
are being asked and promptly paid,
while the cost of ordinary stones,
diamonds for instance. has risen to
unheard of sheights. Many old Eng
fish families also are selling off their
Jewels.
Flowers and food for the elaborate
entertainments which are beginning
to mark the appearance Of the newly
rich are commanding fancy prices
such as twenty-five dollars for an
orchid and $3.50 for a peach.
Automobiles are very scarce and
expensive in Britain. Some of them
command as much as 10000 to- $15,-
900 and they are models of three and
four years ago, while new machines
r almost unobtainable. The maker
Of the most famous English cars turns
out only about 500 each res and it
is said he has already booked his en-
tire output for this year and next.
This extravaganza is attracting wide
attention from newspapers and pub
lie men. peace has brought an orgy
of spending" says one writer, (Which
high prices do nothing. to check. The
higher the price the easier it is for
those who have money to draw the

PACIFIC LINES
0JAPAN,, PLAN
Present System too Congest.
ed is Claim; May Use
Alaskan System.

Seattle, Wash, July 21.-Establish-
ment of a trans-Pacific communica-
ton route in alternate cable and
wireless, Jumps" following roughly
the Great Circle" steamship route off
the Alaskan coast and across to
Japan has been advocated by Lieu
tenant Colonel B. o. Lenoir, Seattle,
wireless system operated by the
United States army signal corps men
between Seattle and Alaska.
Congestion or the trans-Pacific
cable and wireless systems has caused
Seattle's chamber of commerce to in
vestigate the possibility of establish
ing a new line of communication be-
tween the northwest and the Orient.
The suggestion of the Jump route
the chamber by Colonel Lenoir.
The present military cable between
Seattle and southeastern and south
western Alaska probably could be a
part Of the system proposed by Col
onel Lenoir. Messages filed from here
to the Orient over the line would be
sent on the cable to Valdez or some
other southwestern Alaska town.
From the end of the cable, prob
relayed by wireless out along the
Alaska peninsula to Attu Island, a dot
of land on the map far out on the
end Of the Aleutian string.
Attn would take the messages off
the radio and send them to Japan
over a cable which Colonel Lenoir
believes could be laid along the Jap
anese coast from Yokahoma to the
end of the Aleutian Islands.
Erection of wireless stations at
Valdez and on Attu Island n the
laying of the A%ttu-Japan cable would
be necessary. The line from Seattle
to Valdez is already down and work
ing daily.
BY using a cable from Attu west,
according to Colonel Lenoir, delays at
relay points would be avoided to a
large extent. He pointed out that If
over the. entire distance to the Orient
messages were handled exclusively by
wireless stations considerable delay
would occur because Of one station
interfering with another while send
ing or receiving. There is some diff
fculty in sending and receiving radio
messages at the same station at the
same time. The same rule would
work on the eastern cable end of the
proposed system.

OLD ROSY MAY

A late arrival from down river re- ports that lone prospector was working on old Rosy creek during the past winter but was unable to get to bedrock on account of the water. He went down 47 feet before the water drove him out, sinking the hole alone.
 Many attempts were made on this creek during the early days to get down to bedrock as 1t is considered to be in a desirable location. Rosy creek heads up against Ester and empties into the Panama below Che. na. The depth to bedrock and the wet condition of the ground mas al. ways prevented those attempting to put down . shaft from doing so.

returned soldiers not to drop their
government policies.
1t Is stated by members who have
given this subject careful attention
that the prevailing disposition of re-
turned soldiers who have dropped
their insurance is to pay no attention
TO these appeals. Some communica-
tions are being received from men
VINO have been in the service stating
why II is about rs per cent. have
dropped their government insurance.
IT is made plain that the utterly in
.emcient conduct of the War Risk In
surance Bureau is a factor. It also
appears there is dissatisfaction with
the rates for permanent insurance
Which the government is offering
which are not as liberal as the men
were led to anticipate. 1t is a seri-
GUS fact, the reasons for which are
not disclosed, but which investiga-
ton may illumine, that the govern
ment rates for permanent life in
surance are surprisingly little lower
than the rates of number of the
insurance companies. Members of
Congress are impressed with the
idea that the laundering of respon-
slole officials in war risk insurance
matters has been worse than gen.
orally realized.

HUGE FLEET OF
NAVAL JUNK IS
ATLAST ANCHOR
Surviving Ships of the War
Are Today Resting in
the River Midway

London, Sept. 2. A spectre
fleet of more than one hundred war
ships, a nondescript miscellany of
large and small craft, some worn
out through long years of prosaic
patrol duty, others prematurely
aged by encounters with enemy sub
marines or participation in such en-
gagements as Jutland or the Oar
danelles, is today anchored in the
river Medway.
This jetsam Of the war, a float
ing museum of naval junk. swings
at its last mooring - abandoned,
unwanted. Ships that were heroes
amid ships that never did anything
but dog work" ride the tidal river
currents side by side - miles of for
lorn rusty ghosts. Some were built
in feverish haste to meet emergen-
cies during the war; some were con-
structed in peace-time leisure, but
now they are all superfluous.
There is the Sappho whose ma
chinery baked and cheated her of
a glorious victory and alongside the
indicative, sunk as a submarine
barrier at the Zeebrugge mole; there
are "blistered" cruisers, samples of
British naval constructors ingenuity,
built to stay afloat and in fighting
trim despite torpedoes and mines;
battleships mastless, gunless, use
less shorn of their fittings for
service as isolation hospitals; the
Infiexible, which fought at the
Falklands, was mined at the Dar-
danelles and survived the battle off
Jutland.
This specter fleet, slated for the
salvage heap, still rides salt fight
ing water, but its days of blue
water are past. An ebbing tide of
war has left it as a marker in a
graveyard of the sea.
