Budapest, Feb. 4.-Eighty per
cent of all the animals in the once

alive is needed for humans.
All of the seals have persisted.
They depended on salt water fish
and when the supply ran out a
few weeks ago the seals became i'll
and died one after another Lack
of fuel and proper care has, of
course, been contributing cause
of the troubles of the Budapest
ZOO which in pre-war days boosted
some of the finest specimens in
southeastern Europe.
Every cage has been thinned of
it's inmates except the monkey cage
but comparatively few of them
have died This tribe is still lively
and its members manage to act
natural on what is thrown to them
by the few people who have time
from food and fuel worries to visit

around it. The beautiful central
park in which it stands is neglect

STARTED
To REVIVE HUN
OCEAN TRAFFIC

tamDurg, Germany, tGD. D.
Despite lack of tonnage, shortage
of coal, labor troubles and a de-
preciated currency. German ship
ping interests have begun an inten-
sive campaign to revive pre-war
sea trade. Millions of marks have
already gone into important ship
building contracts.
Hugo SHINES, reputed to be the
wealthiest man in the new repub-
lie, and a heavy shareholder in q
number of shipping companies, is
reported to be attempting to extend
his influence, which is now the
controlling factor in the German
East Africa line and the WOer-
mann line, and an important fac
tor in the affairs of the Hamburg
American line,
Regular steamship services with
America, South America, East
Africa, Mexico, Cuba, Spain
Portugal, Australia and Mediter-
ranean and Scandinavian ports,
have been re-established, and the
North Sea, Baltic and Rhine traf-
fic has assumed a new and lively
aspect, Handicapped by shortage
of ships the Germans have turned
their attention to conversion of
warships to commercial usages, to
construction of motor ships out Of
sailing vessels, and to the study Of
oil-fuel as a substitute for the more
expensive coal fuel.
Revival OF German commerce Is
indicated by the increased number
of ships calling at the more i'm
portant ports. During the first
eleven months of 1920, 4,369 yes.
sells OF tonnage Of 3.892,240 ar
rived at Hamburg, as compared
with 1854 vessels and 1,303,620
tons IN 1919, and 1885 vessels of
13,006,426 tons in the first eleven
months of 1913.
The majority of these vessels,
are sailing under foreign
flags.

Yer district.
The trouble, however. is not
found with men but with the
women taxpayers.
A woman hates to admit that
she is single, Mr.. McCauley said.
She thinks it is a reflection, on
her physical attractiveness, accord
