10 YOU know the difference be-
- tween the Polished Girdlc Dia-
mond and other diamonds? 1t is
the most beautiful and the most
brilliant of stones and is therefore
the most fitting and appropriate for
"The Engagement Ring" This dia-
mond is exclusive with the house OF
Bailey, Banks & Biddle Company.
Not only are the diamonds superb
but they may be set in rings intri-
cately and exquisitely designed. To
go with the engagement ring one
should have diamond wedding cir
Gle. Too much care cannot be given
to the selection of this most precious
of all gifts. More and more is
this type of wedding ring giving
place to the old-fashioned gold band
or even the chased platinum band,
for it enhances the beauty of other
jewels which may be worn with it.
CHERRIES ARE RIPE! 1t was a
y delightful surprise to see them in
HallOwell's window this morning.
Huge, dark red, luscious cherries,
the first of the year. This fruit
does not, of course, grow in this
vicinity, but is carefully selected and
shipped from California. To those
of us who have been worrying about
the frost having blighted our own
crop, 1t comes as very welcome news
that the California cherries will ar
rive in greater quantities and larger
fruit than ever. Boxes containing
one, two and five pounds may be
bought at the store of Henry r.
Hallowell & Son, Broad Street below
Chestnut, and as with all their fruits
can be sent through their guaranteed
perfect delivery service to any point
within 1000 miles of Philadelphia.
EVERY man likes to have his neck
- tie admired and it is the one
thing in wearing apparel more than
any other in which he can show
taste and discrimination. There is
nothing about which he is more fussy
and when the warm spring and sum-
mer days arrive, the striped tie is
particularly popular both for street
and sport wear. You will find a wide
selection of these ties at the store
Of Macdonald & Campbell, 1334-36
Chestnut Street. They are of fine
Rcpp silk and are very reasonably
priced. You will, Of course, want a
tie of your own Club, Regimental or
College stripes. Besides these, there
are many other well-blended color
combinations which will be most eff
fectivc in the Office or on the links.

The British Budget.

TN presenting the budget in the house of commons,
Austen Chamberlain, the former chancellor of the
exchequer reported surplus of 23osooyooo pounds,
which about 100000 pounds under the estimates.
The budget showed reduction of the national debt
from 7,S2o,ooo.ooo to 7s73oooooo pounds and a re-
ducon of the foreign debt from I2787I4ooo to II6I
100000 pounds The British debts to Japan. Argentina,
Uruguay and Holland have been paid off and her debt
the United States has been reduced by almost 7s,
100000 pounds. There remains debt Of 826,ooo 900
pounds to the United States and Canada
No sensational changes in taxation an
nounced The excess profits tax has been removed
and taxes on imported cigars and wines have been
reduced. The income of shilngs on the pound
remains. Mr. Chamberlain proposed debt conver-
sion scheme whereby the holders Of per cent
bonds to the extent of 632 100000 pounds, which will
mature before September, 1925, will be asked to
change their holdings for participation in loan
at AZ per cent redeemable in April 1901
That part Of the London press which is unfriend-
ly the Lloyd George government has severely crt-
cised the budget, chiefly the ground that it at
tempts to tax resources which do not exist. One
paper declares that the taxpayer being forced to pay
nine-pence on a pound to the Arabs in Mesopo-
tamia a form OF government they do not want. The
failure reduce expenditures it is said must result in
such heavy taxation that recovery will be retarded.

A IMPORTANT RULING relative TO occu-
~ paney of oil or gas lands under the act Of Feb
-ruary rs, 1890 handed down last week by
Secretary of the Interior FALL who declared in parts
1T is clear that not only equitably but legally
qualified persons who filed applications for oil
or gas prospecting permits cannot and should not be
deprived of their rights it, because Of delay in action
upon the application fled there interyenes desg-
nation by this department of the lands as being within
the geological structure of producing oil or gas
field oecasioned by discovery Of oil gas subse-
quent to the filing of the application in the local land
office. Accordingly such regulation Is hereby revoked
and in future applications viii be adjudicated in
cordance with the views herein expressed"
The regulation. prior to this declaration provided
in effect that permits could not be allowed il lands
applied for were found to be in prosnectively pro-
ductive between the time of fling and granting
of applications.
Recent rulings of the department in favor Of ap-
picants who because Of delay in land office routine
would have been deprived of the right to prospect
were upheld by the Supreme Court of the United

Compulsory Labor in Russia.

TINE REPORT that Trotsky has been forced to
resign as commissar Of transportation would
seem to Indicate that the plan for economic re-
construction by forced labor of which Trosky was
the foremost advocate has been definitely abandoned
as ineffective and unworkable. The theory which
Trotsky based his plan that the strict discipline by
which he had accomplished great things in the mill
tary field would, if applied to production, achieve the
same excellent results in the economic field
Trotsky able to give his plan trial only aft
er overcoming the strong opposition Of the labor
unions. While the power of the unions has
been great in the Soviet state they realized that the
proposed economic dictatorship and the formation of
labor armies would deprive the unions of whatever
power they possessed Economic conditions in Russia
were so bad. however, that radical measures were
necessary. The Soviet government clearly had to
adopt some plan like that supported by Trotsky or
violate the principles Of Communism by making con-
cessons to foreign capitalists BY presenting their
plan as the alternative to the surrender to the bour-
geoisie, Trotsky and his supporters able to Sc
cure trial. 'a ,.odai peg -.. ...,r tei ja.-r,.

the following military and economic arrange
ments: .-.,.-
The territory to be occupied includes twothirds of
the industrial Ruhr valley and the cities of Eberfeld
and Barmen in Wesphalia; 100000 French troops in

mission the manufacturers being reimbursed by the
German government Elaborate preparations have
been made to the continuation Of industrial and
mining production in the and to bring pressure
to bear in the Germans attempt to interfere with
the execution OF the French plans
The object of this occupation is to make life ex-
tremely uncomfortable for the great German indus

allied demands, and in the second place. by means
Of customs and taxes, to collect considerable

EVENTS OF THE WEEK OVERSEAS
Plebiscite in the Tyrol.

INCOMPLETE REPORTS regarding the result Of
l the voting in the Austrian Tyrol last Sunday
the question Of union OF that province with Ger
many would seem to indicate 'hat of the 90 per cent
OF the qualified voters who expressed their preference
less than per cent opposed the union. 1t is very
doubul that these figures represent the true opinion
of the Tyroese this question. The pro-German
party in Austria has been exceedingly active for
long time and through its control OF many newspapers
II has been able to create abroad impression OF
prepondeance of sentiment in Austria for union with
Germany which is supported by the facts. Before
the elections to the Austrian National Assembly last
fall it confidently predicted that there would be
tremendous increase in the votes cast for the pro-
German candidates, When the results of the election
announced. however it was found that this party
had failed to make the showing expected and that its
representation in the National Assembly had fallen
from twenty-six to nineteen.
Another agency which has been active in making
propaganda for the union with Germany is the indus
trial trust headed by Hugo SHINES, which has been
actively operating in Austria industrial affairs and has
been buying great many Austrian newspapers Those
who apprehensive Of the growth Of German in
fuence have declared that the Tyrol pebscite is but
a part of the campaign of German industralistS to
further their projects.
Aside from the effect of this propaganda. the size
of the German in the Tyrol partly attribut
able to feeling that Austrian provinces are being
forced to bear the burdens Of Vienna well as their
The question Of exchange is also an important
The fact that the purchasing power of the
rency of the Bavarians the border is much
better than their has naturally influenced the
Tyrolese to favor an action which would put them
equality with their neghbors.
According reports the voting carried out
without disorder, except that which caused by the
activities of Italian Fascist who precpitaed riot
during fair in of the towns Of the Tyro which
has been ceded to Italy When the of this riot
reached Innsbruck demonstration made against
the Italians. A general strike is being agitated
throughout the Tyro protest against the tactics of
the Fascist.
The results of the plebiscite are to be forwarded.
to Vienna with the request that they be submitted to
the league Of nations. No official recognition of the
vote is likely be made the union of any part Of
Austria with Germany is contrary to the treaty Of St.
German and is opposed by the French and the Czechs
