MANS MINORITY ON EARTH
 INCREASED BY REGENT WAR

BERLIN, July 1S.-Man's minority on earth as compared to women, fact even before the war, has been increas- ed by that conflict until today it is es- timated there are 25,OO0,OOO more wo- men than men in Europe alone.
 Official statistics published here show that the surplus of women in Europe has increased by 15,5OO,O0O. Before the war there were l,03S wom- en to every thousand men; now the proportion is LII to 1000, The lis ing surplus has been most marked in Russia where the number Of women has grown from 1,042 to 1,299 for eV- cry 1000 men. This is on the basis Oi figures for 52 governments.
 The situation has also been notably changed in Germany. Austria, Jugo- slavia, Great Britain, LuXemburg, France and Italy. In Germany, eXclu- sive of Upper Silesia, there are HOO women to every 1000 men whereas before the war there were about 1,026. On the contrary the number of surplus women has decreased in Denmark Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands
 An outstanding feature Of the situ- ation is that girls of marriageable age are in the minority in the surplus most of those in the excess classitica- lion being of elder years and many oi them widows.

extension OF business and the building
OF gigantic garage, are given as the
reasons for this great offer to the invest

In my interview with these two 0fhcerS

The trial of Arnold attracted wide
attention throughout the county and
