War Rumors Increase
Demand for Diamonds

LONDON. Nov. 18.-The present
boom~in diamonds in England Is
attributed partly to recent rumors
OF war in the Near East. Experts
in the trade say that this phen-
omenon has been noticed before. and
that when political troubles are
brewing the business in diamonds
revives. Not only in London Is
this activity noticeable, but in Ant
werp also diamonds have been
changing hands in large numbers,
somewhat similarly to the trade
which occurred at the time OF the
first Russian revolution.
Another reason given for the dia-
mond activity is that new fields are
being opened. rough diamonds. are
coming to hand in larger quantities,
and customers want not only the
finest sort. but also smaller stones
for clusters.

Housing Facilities Command
High Rent Many Vacan-
cies Are Reported.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IS. For many
months, even before the late war,
WaslMngtonians were told the reason
for the skyrocketing rents for houses
and apartments was the shortage oil
housing facilities. Where demand
exceeds the supply, realtors said, the
price of the supply will mount.
Washington rents are still high
and the shortage is still held up as
the reason.
But There were 3.483 vacant
houses, apartments and flats in
Washington in July of this year,
according to recent survey Of en-
gineers of the local telephone com
pany. "Of this total, 2,279 were
houses. 70S were apartments and 496
were classified as flats"
The survey was made I'd estimate

high prices, evidently, the survey
showed that more persons have had

Escorts IN Manila

MANILA, p. l., Nov. 1S-The
municipal councils of Caloocan, San
Juan, Passay and San Pedro Macats,
towns in the province Of Rial
which adjoin Manila, have passed
ordinances barring all bailerinas
professional dancers) from enter
ing dance halls in any of these
municipalities unless accompanied
by escorts. Several years ago the
Manila municipal board banished all
dance halls from the city, but they
sprang up just outside the city
limits.
Secretary Cecilio of the Province
of Rial, said the purpose of the
ordinance requiring dancing girls to
have escorts is to discourage cab
arets and dance halls which allow
women to dance in consideration of
gifts of a poseta (ten cents) or more
from their partners for each dance.

CRAZED MAN MURDERS 2: SUICIDES
Europe Again Near War is
Report to be Made by Men
of u. S. Trade Commission

CHICAGO, oNv. 18.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press) Europe is more
nearly on the verge of military con-
flict than at any period Immediately
preceding the World War, according
ito Conclusions of members of the In
ternational Trade Commission of the
Southern Commercial Congress, who
will report to the annual convention
of the organization to be held here
November 2022.
The commission has just returned
from tour of inspection and invcsti-
cation in Great Britain, France, Bel
gillm, Holland, Germany, Switzerland
and Italy. The complete findings of
the commission, to be submitted in
a report to the meeting here and
later presented to Congress, will
have been reached entirely from a
non-political standpoint and without
fear or favor to Wow the problems
OF the world according to Clarence
J. Owens, PRECEDENT of the congress.
Settlement of Debts
"The fundamental problem is that
of the settlement of the war debts
and Preparations. said DR.. Owens.
I'VE desire to promote American
business extension and the sane re
construction of the stricken nations
OF Europe. A settlement embracing
these points cannot ibe handled piece
meal, but must include all nations,
parties to international financial OBJ
qigations. America, as a creditor ma
ton to the amount OF ten billion dol
lars, plus accrued interest, must see
that Its interests are protected"
Tho conclusions Of the commission,
reached unanimously, are contained
in the following statement issued by
DIR. Owens.
1.-THE Belgian Compromise is pure
~ temporary and unless some solu-
ton OF the problems is reached prior
to THE expiration of the six months
period, the conditions in Europe will
be indefinitely worse.
Return of Exchange
''France and Belgium base their
entire program of reconstruction and
rehabilitation and the return OF ex
change to an approximate normal
status, upon German PREPARATION pay
