Great Britain and France
Make Big Gains-German
Commerce Jumps
By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH

By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH.
A notable improvement of in
ternational trade featured the
worlds business during the first
three months of 1925, the Federal
Reserve Board announced today.
Many economic factors con-
tributed to increased purchasing
power of industrial Europe and
agricultural communities in all
parts of the world, which in turn
stimulated trade among virtually
every nation, according to the
boards general survey.
German Trade Jumps.
Along with the record demand for
American goods exports Of Great
Britain, Germany and other indus
trial nations of Europe are on the
upgrade Tonnage of ships enter
ing and clearing the principal ports
showed a substantial increase. Ger
many having established a record
above the figures of 1913.
THE remarkable Improvement In
German trade is the result OF the
betterment in the country's inter.
national relations, sterilization of
currency and the large foreign
loans and credits made available tn
the German government and indus
try" the reserve board declared.
"In a number OF other European
countries also currency stabil!Z2-
ton has increased the confidence OF
- ho
the flotation of loans, the proceeds
of which have b4en used to meet
demands for foodstuffs and raw
materials.
Cereals Large Factor.
THE rise in the price Of several
raw materials and especially OF
cereals has Increased the purchas-
ing power of areas which in
previous years had been suffering
from depression"
The general growth of shipping
was said to reflect an increase in
the volume of world trade. Inter.
national trade figures show both
advances in commodity prices and
growth Of the physical volume OF
Compared to, the first three
months of 1924, British imports rose
TO 352 100000 POUNDS SterHnB, d
gain of Is per cent, while exports
jumped per cent to 2O9,OO0,OOO
pounds.
Demand For Credit.
French exports, according to the
board, remained virtually the same
as in 1924, but imports were lower
giving a more favorable trade bal
ance.
Both exports and imports Of
Germany were doubled for the
first two months Of the year over
the same period Of 1924, no later
figures being available.
Growth in European trade and
production has been reflected in
Increased demand for credit to fl
nance current operations" the
board said. Money has been tight
on the continent except in Switzer-
land and the Netherlands.

YALE To OPEN
GOLF COURSE
IN FALL

NEW HAVEN. Conn.,, Aug. To-
Yale University's golf course sup
posed to be one of the finest in the
world, will be open to student play
ers next October with a grand
opening occurring next spring.
Out of a tract of over 700 acres, on
the western edge of the city, the
golf course has been constructed as
a portion OF the Ray Tompkins
Memorial, given by Mrs. To4npkins
to aid in the development of a mag
nificent playground and a program
Of sports that will include tobagan-
ming, skiing, skating and tramping.
In the course 40 acres of land
have been utilized and alb 1T 100
acres have been cleared of timber
and rock or treated in some
manner.
The course Is said to be unique
and without any close parallel and
wholly unlike any course in Amer
lea. The Mid Ocean course, at Ber-
muda, and Gleneagles, in Scotland,
were built to take advantage of the
wide and bold variations of contour
as has the Yale course, but those
other two courses are in such diff
ferent settings that any faithful
comparison is impossible" In build
ing the Yale course each of the
eighteen holes was given three sep
arate tees, thus furnishing three
courses-long, regular and short,
the long course being planned for
championship play. Yardage over
the long course Is $3.50 with par
II, over the regular course 6,107
with par SO, and over the short
course 5,54S, with par SO.

In the past the supervision has

alumni all over the country.

here during the Easter HOLIDAYS
that 1t was his plan to establish
the successful Rockne system in
his new endeavor.
1t is his idea to have virtually
the entire student body participant

elevens will be formed, advanced
and denoted, according to their
ability.
