INDIA TRADE GROWS
United States Holding It's Own In
 Many Lines Of Industry

Many Lines Of Industry
 WASHINGTON. Oct. 20.-. .nalysis by the department of commerce of the official Indian trade returns for seven months ended July 31. 1923. compared with the corresponding g period of 1922. hows that the United States is practically holding its mar ket in clothing, general foodstuffs, hosiery hardware, paints, and some iron and steel projects
 Gains have been made not only in petroleum imports from the United States. but in mining machinery, railway materials, telegraph and telephone equipment and automo- piles. On the other hand much of the trade of 192+ has been lost in dyes, leather boots and shors, cutl- cry and paper Previous to the war 2.5 per cent of 1ndia's imports came from the United States.
 Between 1924 and 1919 world economic conditio~s increased this percentas,, and. when trade lsgan to swing back to rormal We were still furnishing 10 per cent of the inn ports. This WIS redu ed to 9.5 per cent for 1921, per cent for 1922, ana 5.6 per cent for the seven months ended July 31, 1928.
 India's export Ie with the United States rests very l rsely on the heavy sales of r,.5- and manufactured jute, shellac, maganese, hides and skins, and tea. The total exports of Indian products to America for 1920 were valed at 395,311, 900 rupees, for 1921 at 249,4s7,000 rupees, for 1922 S9S,- 32S,000 rupees, and for the first seven months of 1923 at 221, ,3s0.O0o rupees.
 For the same periods the credit balance on India's trace with America amounted to 74,o77,000 ru- pees, 25,722,000 rupees, 61.S15,000 rupees, and 1s9,600.000 rupees. re- spectively. This excessively large margin between exports to and inn ports from the United States is un- doubtedly settled to great extent, however, through triangular trade by way of Great Britain. Hongkong, and other reshipment centers.

must be confined to very few lines. Tn the first place the league has really begun to control matters of war and pace Ii has settled without warfare the dispute between Finland and Sweden as to the Aaland Islands which 1t gave tC the Films with the consent of the Swedes. It settled the Albanian-Se Serbian boundary dis
 pute where the Jugoslavs had ac- tually begun fighting, coming in
 banian villages. 1t has fixed the frontiers of Lithuania and Poland, giving Wilma to Poland, although the Lithuanians feel sore. and in addi-
 tion has settled minor international disputes, which might have caused ter are the troubles Of Hungary and Rumania which at one time bade fair to burst out into fighting.
 As an example of the creative work of the league we have the restoration and recreation of Aus tria. This is only at it's beginning but it is one of the wonders of inter national finance that have occurred since the war Everyone knows how Austria whose life members were practically chopped off by the peace conference, had reached the verge of vanced in one way or another $125,- 000, 900 and notwithstanding this grew worse and worse. If was about to throw up it's hands and gC into bankruptcy when the league came in and was given free hand to work. Since then order has been brought out of chaos and by an expenditure of only s30.000 has so lifted that na- tion that it promises to stand on it's feet. The story is too long to tell here. l shall tell it in full later on from Vienna.
 In addition to these things the league is doing much in international welfare work of one kind and an other, and more than all, it is en- abling the nations to see that while each differs from the other in inn portant characteristics and special interests that none has hoofs and horns. It shows also that perhaps Lord Robert Cecil was right when during his trip to our country he said: "The belief held by many that all the naughty people live on one side of the Atlantic and all the goody- goodies live on the other, is perhaps, to say the least, subject to discussion.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-An almost steady price level was maintained by the butter market during the week. a characteristic condition of this time of the year. Withdrawals ex- ceeded those of the corresponding week last year by a half million pounds, a change from several pre- vious weeks, when comparisons have been in favor of 1922.
 Market conditions at this time of the year depend as much on the an ticipated rate of withdrawal from storage as immediate supply and de- mand.
 Foreign arrivals during the week at New York. included 2,300 boxes of Argentine, 174 >70-pound casks of Norwegian dairy, and some cars of Canadian.

 Of Country

DAYTON, O., Oct. 2o.-tBy Asso- ciated s.)-The Barling bomber
 Is the largest airplane. The Martin bomber, the largest airplane in use
 by the air service before the advent of the Barling, is a pigmy compared
 to it. The Barling soon is to make tour of the country. The exact
 itinerary has not yet been announced,
 but the machine will be at New York
 about October 20.
 The Barling has wing spread of t20 feet, a height of 2S feet and an overall length of 65 feet.

 The weight of the airplane loaded will exceed 10000 pounds. \pecifica- tions require that not more than 5000 pounds of bombs shall be car ried at one time, but were anything so large as a 10000 pound bomb de- Yeloped, the Barling could lift it and fly for two hours.

 Specifications required flying
 speed of 90 miles per hour. On her
 initial flight the Barling accom- pIished 93 miles per hour without difficulty.
 With 2,000 gallons of gasoline, IF hours flight at full speed can be made With engines throttled or some of them cut off completely. the time of flight can be correspondingly heightened.
 A total of seven guns operated from five positions or cockpits cover the whole field in which enemy air. craft may approach. The gun defense may be augmented for day flying, in case the afrplane is used for day as well as night bombing, for which 1t is planned.

 Following is the text of the creed:
 Remember, there are two sides to every question. Get both.

 Be decent. Be fair. Be gener- ous.

 Treat all religious matter rever- ently.

UNF F|LLED ORDERS
 IN STEEL PLANTS : TO LAST 5 MONT THS
Elimination Of 12-Hour Day Expected To Slow Up
 Industry

NEW YORK, August s-Unfilled orders of the United States Steel corporation on July 31, made public today totaled 5,91o,7s3 tons. a de- crease of 475,49S tons under those at the end of the preceding month and the smallest since July 31 of last year when the total was 5,776,161 tons.
 While the decrease was about 75, 500, ,000 tons more than WGil street had anticipated it reflected a better demand for steel in July than in June, when the decrease was 595,000 tons below the preceding month. Making allowance. however. for the smaller shipment in July 1t was es- tImated by market observers thaI bookings last month were 5000 tons a business day than those in June, the daily gain being smaller than trade reports had indicated.
 Orders now on hand represent ap- proximately five months business at the current operating ratio of 90 per cent. Elimination of the 12-hour day is expected to show up shipments but steel men do not look for any marked improvement in the industry until September or October so that fur ther decrease in tonnage next month would not appear improbable.
 The high mark in thrilled this year was reached in March when the total was 7,403,332. In the four months since orders have declined 1492,569 tons. or apparently 20 per cent.

MRS. HARDING AT LAST ALONE WITH HER HONORED DEAD
Marion'S Sympathy Goes Out To Widow Of Noted
 ToWnSman

MARION, O.. August e.-(By Asso- ciated Press.)-Florence Kling Hard ing was alone tonight with her dead. She awaited bravely and calmly the coming of tomorrow, when he would be taken from her and placed In the nations newest shrine, behind lock ed iron gates of an unpretentious recelY- ing vault in the Marion cemetery
 The return from Washington to her glrlhood companions. her friends and most intimate associates, failed To weaken her resolute determination to keep strength to the end. To the many who came to cheer and ease her burdn of sorrow, Mrs. Harding spoke her thanks, but firmly declined to pass on to them the smallest of the troubles that were hers to bear.
 Even to those of her companions who travelled on the funeral train from San Francisco to Washington and continued the journey to it's end ing here today, the brave widow let it be known that she was in no dan ger of a collapse and there was no reason for them to worry about her. Increases Admiration,
 This statement but increased the admiration openly expressed by her friends who in recognition of it's truthfulness. stood quietly aside, ready to aid, but lacking the oppor- tunity.
 Mrs. Harding was the last to step from the funeral car when the train arrived in the Marion station. The casket already had been transferred to the hearse. The eight cabinet of ficers and other Washington officials had taken their places on the plat form. The remaining members of the group which accompanied the late President to Alaska and had been re- quested by Mrs. Harding to come to Marion" also had left the coaches

DAUCHERTY READY TO RESIGN FROM .COOEI EIDGE CAb|NET I
Attorney General Finds Little In Office To Attract
 Him

MARION, O., August 9.-Prepara- tions for the resignation of Attorney General Daugherty from the cabinet have been arranged, it Is learned here
 Inquiry among members of the of- ficial party here developed that the Attorney General discussed his resig- nation with President Coolidge in Washington Wednesday, just before leaving for Marion on the funeral train.
 The formal announcement will be made soon after the return to Wash ington from the funeral ceremonies here. It Is too early to discuss the probable successor. but Augustus T. Seymour, assistant to the Attorney General, has been acting head of the department of justice for several months during the illness of Daugh- erty, and Is prepared to go ahead with the routine operation of the depart = ment pending a final decision by Coolidge. Seymour has many friends who are suggesting that he be named attorney.
 Daugherty was placed In the cabi- net as a personal appointment by Harding, made in recognition of their lifelong personal and political friend ship. The man whom he raised by his masterly strategy, from obscurity y to the highest office is dead. Daugh- erty himself is in poor health. High office has little left to attract him. His resignation has been taken for granted since the sudden news of Hardings death was flashed from San Francisco, and the formal announce ment now is only a matter of waiting for an appropriate space after the funeral here.

FOREIGN M l N l [ {
 TOUCH NE W LOW LEVELS IN MARKET
German Mark Makes Advance After Slump Wednesday,.
 Franc Drops

NEW YORK, August s.-wi.h foreign currencies setting up new low records for themselves fin the foreign exchange markets during the present week, marks, for in- stance, touching a low of 5.sS2.35o n the dollar, compared with pre- war value of about {. considerable inter est has been taken in the new meas ures of world currency. TrilIions and quadrillions are becoming every day monetary terms in some Euro pean countries, the most bulky fig ures of bank statement being in- cluded in this weeks report from the Reichsbank of Germany.
 TT, German marks rose precipitately Thursday afternoon to the value of l,S23,100 to the dollar after having touched for 4,761,90O to the dollar during the morning The record low of above 5,00O,000 was reached on Wednesday.
 Coincident with the rise in the mark Thursday saw record lows for francs. They. like the mark were affected by the latest turn in the international separations situation.
 The Bank of Germany statement figures included the following
 Treasury certificates, 3,9S7474.- do0'00o marks; mills, 1S,314291,- S00,000 marks; treasury bills. 53.752,- 029, TOO 900 marks; circulation. 43, 594,737 S00,o00 marks; private depos- Its, 24.077S41 ,50O,0OO marks; other liabilities, 9.758.1O1.S0 GOO marks.
 Thus the figures of the paper money or certain countries are given in "trillions." The German circula- ton is nearly the 44,oo0,O0o o00,O00 ark; Austria has over 50O0,000,- 000,0O0 crowns; Polans, over 3,00O,- O00,000,000 marks, while soviet Rus sia has long since passed the tril- lion line and the latest advices put the total of outstanding soviet cur rency at more than four quadrUlion paper rubles.
 But even disregarding the soviet paper money which is no longer iu- cicded in the statements of world currency issued from week 10 week in the financial reports of Europe, 1t IS interesting to try 10 compre- bend the meaning of the word "tril- Hon. in which al least three Eu- ropean countries regularly and offl- cially state their outstanding paper currency.
 What is trilion? We know, of course, says the trade record of the National City bank of New York. that it is a thousand billions, and to measure even single billion is difficult, but it can be Illustrated by very simple statement. The treas ury counting experts at Washington will count %,0O0 silver dollars in one hour, but that is their limit; working eight hours a day an expert will count 100000 silver dollars in 3l working days. but that is only the beginning of the billion, and if this same counter were to go on counting the dollars at this rate, eight hours In every working day of the year,

 Found Floating In Caribbean

BALBOA, Panama Canal Zone, Au- gust g.--A mass of sluggish oil float ing on the Caribbean sea, an lee box marked Swift Star" and within it the body of white man.
 This gruesome discovery by fish ermen off the island of St. Andrews, 250 miles north of Colon. is believed to solve the mystery of the American tank steamer, swift Star, missing 27 days.
 She is believed to have sunk in a storm. The fate of her crew of 30 Americans remains a mystery.

 The fishermen who came upon tn 3 flotsam of the vessel fled terror stricken, abandoning the body, not daring to search 1t for other signs that might tell of the tragedy.
