TRADE CONDITIONS
IMPROVING IN
GREAT BRITAIN
Our American Consul
General Sees Slow Re-
turn to Normally

LONDON, May G-Trade and
industrial conditions in this coun-
try on the whole are, in the Opin-
ion of experts steadily improving
though somewhat slowly.
No big revival has materialized
but there has been a continuous
betterment of conditions, a SEEM
ingly healthy growth, that has sat
iSfied traders more than any sud
den "revival" which might have
been built on shifting sands and
would have collapsed, .eaving mat
tiers worse than before.
One outstanding indication of
the trend of affairs is that money is
easier and more is being loaned,
which indicates confidence in the
trade situation generally.
Encouraging reports come from
various trades, notably coal, tex
tile and pig iron. General living
conditions have improved, commod-
tiles having dropped in price and
there has been a decrease in unem-
ployment. although it is still large.
IN seeking for an unbiased state
ment regarding conditions from an
authority, The Associated Press
turned to Robert Skinner, the
American Consul General in Lon
don. In response Mr.. Skinner oGVe

LEGION HoNoRED ALL DEAD
Organization Participated in Services
at Final lnterment of Men
Brought Home.

Army transports in which many of
them went across eager for the con-
flict have carried back the last of the
$4,000 A. E. f. dead, those relatives
had requested to- be returned to this
country for permanent burial. The
graves registration service of the
army, which had the work of return
ing these bodies in charge, did an al
most superhuman task. But this
service could not give the comradely
human touch to the handling of these
bodies after they reached the United
States that seemed due them.
No organization was so well suited
to perform the last rights of honor
and respect for these soldier dead as
was the American Legion. The men Of
the Legion took upon themselves the
obligation Forty ship loads of bodies
came to eastern ports during a period
of two and half years. 1t was not
always possible to have an elaborate
service, because the arrivals were too
frequent, but in every instance there
was at least a prayer by chaplain
of the Protestant, Catholic or Jewish
faith, an address by prominent citi-
zen or army officer and a rife salute.
A number of times, however, the
services We're noteworthy. President
Harding delivered an address at
services arranged by the Legion, May
%, 1921, when the Princess Matoika
arrived with 451 bodies. General
Pershing and Senator Lodge spoke
when the Somme and the Wheaton ar
rived, July 10, 1921, with 1000 dead.
The last cargo of bodies arrived in
Brooklyn, in April, 1922, on the Cam
brai. On that occasion, the body of
Private Charles w. Graves, Company
M, One-hundred and Seventeenth in
fantry, Thirteenth division, was borne
on a caisson through the streets, lined
with silent throngs, to the army base,
where simple ceremonies marked the
close Of the last public demonstration
for Americas returned dead.

teaspoonful of allspice, two teaspoon
fuls of cinnamon, one-half teaspoon

First prepare the fruit, cutting the
citron and pineapple into small pieces.
Leave the cherries whole. Wash and
dry the currants. Do this several
days before the cake is to be made
so that they will be thoroughly dry.
Blanch and slice the almonds. Pre-
pare the seeded raisins by pouring
boiling water over them and allow
ing them to drain. Tear into small
pieces or cut with scissors. Clean
the currants by placing them in a col
ander, sitting well with -four and rub
bing 1t carefully in. Then rinse in
pan Of cold water until the water
comes clear. Dry them in a cool oven
or in the sun. There will be small
stones to remove. Prepare the cake
as usual. Line cake pan with three
thicknesses Of paper, cut to fit the
bottom and sides. Grease the paper
with unsalted fat and fill the pans.
Let stand two hours before baking.
This ripens it. 1t is better to steam
it five hours and bake one hour. Test
it to see If sufficiently baked by press
ing with the finger, if it goes back into
place the baking is completed. Slip
out of the pan to cool on cake rack
or supported on some dish to cool all
around in a current of air. Cover with

and milk, then in day of two cover
with Royal icing prepared from egg

and tablespoonful Of lemon juice.
Spinach, India StyIe.-Cook together
one tablespoonful. of fat and two table
spoonfuls of flour, add one cupful OF

fuls of hot cooked spinach in serv-
ing dish, place sliced hard cooked eggs
on top and pour the sauce around the

Legion posts are established In
practically every community In the
United States and Legionnaires have
carried their flag into 20 foreign coun-
tries. In every one of these far-hung
II, 900 posts there are one or more
men who know Lemuel Bolles. Mr..
Bolles, then, knows them. Ever since
the Legion was organized in France
Mr.. Bolles has been identified with 1t.
Since its first convention in Minneap0-
lis in 1919 he has been national adj
jutant, and as such he has met per-
sonally or corresponded with thou
sands of Legion men and women. His
duties have taken him into almost all
the 48 states during these three years,
and he receives a thousand or so let
ters each week. He has, without doubt,
the largest personal acquaintance with
men of arms ever enjoyed by any in
dividual since armies were invented.
Mr. Bolles was born in Minneapolis,
grew up on the ranges of the Dako-
tas and was established in Seattle,
Wash, when he entered active service
for the World war. He began his
military career as a private in a Ma
tional Guard company. Overseas he
served as a colonel on the general
staff of the First army corps, and
was decorated with the Legion of Hon,
