RETURN OF MARITIME
PROSPERITY EXPECTED
BY PORT OF DkNzIG
rBv Associated Pressl

DANZIG, Dec. Rapid strides in
overcoming the shipping reverses suf-
fered during the World war have re-
vived in the heart of Danzig, visions of
a time when she may resume the posi-
ton acquired in the fourteenth GEN.
fury, under the Teutonic Knights, as
a hub of international trade. Her
ears are alert now for any project
bearing on the recent talk of reopen
ing Russian markets.
Before the war this port laid claim
to four important shipping lines whose
combined fleets aggregated 38 vessels
of $1,000 gross tons. These concerns
were Behnke and Sieg, the Danzig
Shipping company, the F. G. Reinhold
interests, and the Hamburg Danzig
line. Their vessels went as far as the
Mediterranean on one side and to the
White Sea on the other. Regular traf-
fic was carried on with Finnish har-
bors, Hamburg, Rotterdam, Antwerp,
London, Bristol and Liverpool.
The war not only robbed Danzig of
many former trade connections, but de-
priVed her as well of almost fifth OF
her going ships. The close of hos
tilities, however, was the signal for i'm
mediate reconstruction operations, and
today the home fleet consists of sc
vessels whose aggregate gross tonnage
is $500.
Lines Extend Facilities.
Since the war the old lines have ex-
tended their facilities here, and sever
al new undertakings have been estab-
lishd. Among the latter are the Artus
lines, with four large steamers des,
tined for the South American service
a Russo-English firm, and the Baltic
American Petroleum company, repre-.
vented by large motor freight ships

PROVED ABILITY TO REASON
Heartless Old Baboon Leader Had
Qualities That Might Be Con.
sidered Almost Human.

Apes are so human that even when
they display traits that in man would
be simply abominable one cannot help
laughing. A correspondent in South
Africa writes that certain large apes
are so much in the haGtr Of raiding
the coffee plantations that they have
to be guarded.
Among the coffee trees grows a
shrub the fruit Of which the apes
particularly enjoy. But, as wasps
fasten their nests to the shrubs. the
apes. fearful Of being stung, usually
keep away from them. One morning
the people in certain plantation
heard the apes making fearful out.
cries and, rushing out. saw this
singular scene. A large baboon, the
leader Of d band. was throwing some
young apes at the wasp nests just as
a boy might have thrown stones ut
them.
The poor victims. stung by the in
furiated insects, were crying piteous-
~, but the old baboon paid no heed
to them Whatever. While they were
suffering from the anger Of the
wasps he quietly proceeded to regale
himself with the fruit, which he
could now pluck without danger. Oc-
casionally he would turn round and
graciOusly throw handful to some
females and young standing little
way off.
