factures exported in December 1918, the first full peace month, following the war, was $2G9, ,117,000 against S95, ,216, 900 in the December immed- lately preceding the war, and S82,- 103,0O0 in the month just prior to the opening of the war, July, 1914.
 While of course the higher prices of today are in part responsible for this increase of 140. per cent. in the value of manufactures exported in the first after-thewar month, when compared with the corresponding month prior to the war, yet a com parison of the quantities in Decem- Der 1918 with those of December 1913 show in nearly all cases mark
 ed increases. Of steel rails the quan- tity exported in December 1918 was 44,962 tons against 22,51S in DeceIn- Der 1913; of steel plates, 140,205,000 pounds against 28, 8,433,000 in Decem- Der 1913; tinp1ate shows an even greater increase, the quantity export ed in December 1918 having been 32,796,0O0 pounds against S,O55, 900 in the pre-war December; of boots and shoes, the exports of December 1918 showed a total of 1,121, 900 pairs against 713.o00 pairs in December 1913; of gasolene 38,592.0O0 gallons against 9,175, 900; "al other napthas' 15, 5,687, 900 gallons against 1,620,o00; fuel and gas oil 59,760,000 gallons against 44,5O7,000; automobiles 2.599 against 2,389 in the pre-war Decem- ber, and gasoiene engines 5,232 in December 1918 against 2.S30 in De- cember 1913. The number of yards of cotton cloth exported in Decem- Der 1918 was 440O0,000 yards against 37,0OO, 900 in December 1913.

Flint Refuse of Value.

A remarkable record of an impor- tant prehistoric industry is promised by the archaeological survey now being directed by Dr. W. T. Mills, in the Flint Ridge district, between Colum- bus and Zanesville, O. An outcrop of flint-bearing limestone extends for ten miles or more, and is entirely covered with pits dug by the ancient miners in search of workable flints. The waste fragments clipped from the fiints In making arrowheads and other imple- ments form nearby deposits 15 feet deep in places, supplying material of modern value fo: road building.

MOLLY MOGG.

Three of the greatest bards of the eighteenth century England coIlab- orated in writing ballad which has served to render immortal the name of Molly Mogg. It was 15S years ago that the fair Molly Tassed away, at the age of sixty-six, having remained all her life a spinster. Her unmar- ried state seems difficult to account for. considering the extravagant praise bestowed upon her charms in the ballads of Swift, Pope and Gay. In TIPS this tunefu1 trio spent some time at a Nottingham tavern, called the Rose The landlord. John Mogg, had two daughters, Molly and Sally Literary historians say that in reality it was Sally Mogg who was the cruel beauty celebrated in the ballad, but the wits were too far gone to dis tinguish, and so the honor has clung to Molly"

Aviators' Sport" Forbidden.

What promised to develop into a highly exciting sport has just been cut off in its infancy by Gen. William L. Kenly, head Of the army aircraft serv- ice.
 He has issued an order forbidding army aviators. either on duty, at prac- tice, or flying for pleasure, from shoot ing wild ducks and other fowl with machine guns. The practice not only gave the birds small run for their money and endangered the lives of people for two miles around, but wasted quantities of costly ammuni- ton.

PILOTS SAY COAST =
M AVIATION DANGEROUS

The opinion held by all OF the
ayiators who made the trip from
Mather Field, Sacramento, to Port
land and return, was that the noun
tains in Southern Oregon are too
high to allow for a regular air lane.
The ground is so rough that slight
chance of landing is offered between
the head OF the Sacramento valley
and the valley on this side of the
Siskiyou mountains. II something
goes wrong with an engine, the pilot
Is at the mercy Of the land on which
he has to drop. With the roughness
of the mountainous territory In the
southern part Of the state, slight
chance of finding an open flat space
exists. In his report, Colonel H. l..
Watson declared that an aviator had
to trust to luck entirely in making
the flight over the mountains.

zen Of Eugene and one of the first

Murder Case May
Follow Robbery

A murder sensation may follow
the finding Of stolen plunder OBJ
tanned by burglars, who recently rob-
bed the Bowers combination drug
and jewelry store at Gold Hill, each
ed in Josephine county near the
Jackson county line not far from the
Rogue river, says the Mail Tribune.
This stolen booty, amounting to
several hundred dollars worth Of
property, mostly jewelry, was dis
covered this week and the fact that
some bloody rags we're found nearby
indicating that a body had been
dragged from there to the river leads
the Josephine county officials to
think that a murder might have been
committed.
To make sure they have sent for
graphing hooks and will drag the
river bottom in that vicinity next
Friday and Saturday. They go on
the theory that the burglars might
have quarreled over the booty dur
Ing which one OF them was killed and
his body was dragged to the river,

Oregon could be eliminated. Mr..
Miller suggests that planes take a
course direct east and west from Eu-
gene to the coast. By taking the
pass in the mountains, only an eleva-
tion Of slightly above normal would
be necessary, Mr.. Miller points out.
Then the coast may be used for a
path southwark and northward. At
most places the shore offers a safe
and smooth landing in emergency,

His Aims Are Th,uarted
By Frank II. Simonds

PARIS, April 7.-Mr. Wilson's
decision to send for the George
Washington precipitates the final
crisis. 1t finds the French govern
ment regretting that the break seems
imminent, but calmly resolved to
make no more surrender of the es-
sential security of France, financial
or military, to Mr.. Wilson, and de-
termined, if necessary, to endure the
evil consequences of Mr.. Wilson's
withdrawal rather than Weld fur
ther.
Mr.. Wilson'S gesture finds Lloyd
George suddenly assailed at home
by tremendous outburst in the
press and among public men to
whom he owes his past success and
his present strength, against his de-
sertlon of France and subservience
of the British policy to the Ameri-
can President, and Lloyd George
Enthusiastically is executing one more
of those famous shifts familiar in
his political history He has aban-
doned Mr.. Wilson, and Mr.. Wilson
knows it. He has prepared Che way
to line up with France again, and
the French are not unconscious of it.
1t would be difficult to say on ex-
actly what lines the impending
break will come. No question before
the peace conference has been def
nitely settled.
1t remains possible, as I said
weeks ago, that some peace still
may be patched up, but it is much
less likely than a week ago. AS to
the league of nations, it has passed
out OF the computation of those di-
rectlng affairs, while hope of a real
settlement has vanished.

Quasi-Recognition Expected
Questioned about Martens's status in
this country, Nuorteva said:
my opinion is that. although full no.
ntical recognition will not be granted
Tor some time, there will be seen in the
very near future a de facto recognition.
All we want at this time is to establish
commercial Intercourse between Russia
and the United States. The interven-
tlon policy is failure, and admittedly
so. 1t is generally admitted that any
new intervention in Russia would be a
still greater folly"
Martens is vice-president of the engi-
neering firm of Weinberg & Posner
Inc. During the war, as agent of the
Demldo1f Steel Works, of Russia. he
placed contracts to the amount of more
than S3,O00,000. He came to this coun-
try IN 1914, after stay in England. He
had gone to England after his release
from Russian prisons, where he had
served three years in the regime of the

activities.

BUDAPEST, Monday, April Z (By
The Associated Press 1T is consid-
cred certain here that the Communist
movement was engineered by Count
Michael Karolyi, the former President,
to scare the Allies by the spectre Of
Bolshevism and thereby draw atten-
tion to tho situation in Hungary. 1t
was a measure Of despair the results
of which have scared even those who
planned the move, as it has given an
opportunity for Bella Kun, the Foreign
Minister, to attempt to become die
tator of the Trotzky type The Com
munists are opposed by the Socialists,
who are attempting to form moderate
Socialist government.
All who dare, from walters to manu-
facturers, inform the correspondent
that none but few madmen in Buda-
pest want naturalization of property
and other similar Communist schemes.
Bella Kun, in speeches yesterday and
to o-day, attempted to make the people
believe that the visit here Of General
SHUTS, the special Allied Commissioner
to Hungary, was q recognition of the

thority to adjust new boundary lines

Saturday. With them will go the

possible in favor of Americans and
other foreigners.

Martens Says March Has

Ludwig c. A. K. Martens, unrecog-

States, opened suite Of offices in

dreams and Illusions
OF Settlement Vanish

All dreams and illusions of world
settlement are vanished.
The European allies are rapidly
marching toward new policy,
which will call for the extreme of
precaution against Germany, even
at the cos6 Of a new campaign.
The realization that the direction
the peace conference was taking
was toward placing the burden of
debts of war and of destruction of
war upon the French and British
people, and permitting the Ger
mans to escape from the conse-
quence of their crimes, is begin
ming to rally public sentiment and
restore the morale of tho armies.
The possibility that Mr.. Wilson
will go home himself and order the
American armies to retire from
Europe, that he will at the same
time attempt to make a separate
peace with Germany, is recognized
here, has been threatened here nri-
vately for two weeks, and has at
last been discounted. No one can
measure the disappointment that
the retirement of America will
bring to millions of men and women
in Europe who welcomed the Pres
ldent of the United States four
months ago as a messenger from an
other planet, bringing promise of a
new order in the world.
1t is not impossible that Bolshev-
ism will be the sole gamer by the
failure at Paris, but l have not
found to-day a single we'll informed
person who believes that the tan
gled threads can be unwound. that
shattered nerves can be restored
that this last final quarrel, which
at bottom is quarrel between
Lloyd George and Woodrow Wilson.
can be settled. Momentary iude-
ments are always unsound
No situation can be without an
element Of hope, but at least it has
to be said to-day-when Mr.. Wilson
has ordered his ship--that it Is i'm
possible to find anywhere basis for
that optimism without which the
hopes Of success here was impossible.
