WAR THREATS CAUSE
DIAMONDS TO BOOM

London, Eng. - The present
boom in diamonds in England is
attributed partly to recent rumors
OF war in the Near East. Experts
in the trade sax that this phe-
nomenon has been noticed berore,
and that when political troubles
are brewing the business in dla-
monds revives. Not only in Lon
don Is this activity noticeable, but
in Antwerp also diamonds have
been changing hands in large
numbers. somewhat similarly to
the trade which occurred at the
time of the first Russian revolu-
tion.
Another reason given for the
diamond 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,

FLOODS OF THE CANOES
BREAK ALL RECORDS

Cawnpore, India, Dec. S-The
Great rise of the Ganges river, which
has broken all records Of the past
thirty years, has led to the flood
ing Of vast districts on the Unao
side. Many villages on both sides
of the railway line to Unao are un-
der water, and hundreds Of hamlets
have been washed away.
The floods are on the decline
now, but the rains continue inter-
mittently, making |he lot of those
rendered homeless still harder. Peo-
pie whose houses have been washed
away have taken shelter in neigh
boring villages, and some have been
accommodated in railway cars. Vir-
tually all the villages situated along
the banks of the Ramganga river
have been inundated. Houses and
cattle have been washed away, and
standing crops ruined.
