British Industrial Supremacy
Dates From Ancient Times

England, A. tho very beginning of
the industrial age. assumed the leader
snip a an industrial nation She had
Goa and iron. two of the great corner
stones of industry. But she had much
moro than that, she had a national
genius for industrial work for indus
trial organization and for commercial
ente rprlso. From the beginning, since
England was first in the field, she Sc
curely held d position of supremacy.
Under the stimulation OF all her ad-
vantages her population grew with
great rapidity, and the numbers en-
ployed in industry increased more
rapidly than IN any other country. Men
found that 1t was easier TO obtain the
necessaries of life by producing in Eng

which other nations wanted than it was

this industrial prosperity the standard
of living improved.
At the beginning of the present cen

competitors were in sight. Germany
and America. Germany was showing A
genius for industrial development and

Double Disadvantage in
Decline Of Coal Exports.

The war had cost England large
part Of her foreign investments, and
many of those she still held were in
default. Tho shorter hours Of labor
and Increased wages added still fur-
tier to the cost Of coal production.
The term of peace forced Germany to
supply no small part Of the Continental
market. which had heretofore been
England's. with coal, and that export
tel off sharply. Just as coal export s
had been advantageous il supplying
foreign credits and outgoing cargoes.
the decrease in coal exports hocame a
double disadvantage.

SUPERB SCENE SETS IN
"GREiT IMpERSONATION,"
REPEATING TODAY AT "B"

Settings representing many diff
ferent sections OF the globe are
seen in the new George Melford
production, "rhe Great Imperson-
alton" featuring James Kirkwood
which is being repeated at "B''
theater today.
The picture opens with scenes
supposedly laid in a room in OV-
ford university IN England. Then
it takes the spectator to a jungle
in German East Africa, through
the jungle to clearing and a
matched cabin. The two princi-
pal characters there exchange rem
iniscences, and scenes in Vienna
and England are introduced.
The following scenes show the
interior of the Kaisers secret war
room on the Wilhelmstrasse in
Berlin, just prior to the great war.
The picture then flashes to scenes
in London. showing the quarters of
the German ambassador, and then
there is seen a setting represent
ing the offices in Scotland Yard
and other diplomatic offices.
Other scenes are laid in Domi-
ney Hall, an ancestral castle in
England. The set includes large
reception hall. with several ad-
joining rooms. Other interesting
eXteriors are a natural location
representing Falmouth-b blythe Sea
on the English coast; scenes in
