in this manner has passed through

Britain has performed in order TO pull
her through a hard time. so that in a
year or two she may resume the normal
jog trot of the capitalist system. She
has created in her own way something
fundamental and permanent out Of her
revolution. Her economic life and style
of social organization will never be the
same again and this is due to an
extraordinary revolution in the state Of
her public opinion.
The language Of social development
henceforth will be changed; the names
she uses for her new economic meth
DDS of organization may be less precise
than in the past while haCkncyed
phrases. such as Socialism," may be
less heard of in the future. But no

people now wish their national life to

Troy most famous of all classical
cities, is to be excavated once again.
this time by American archeologistS
from the American School of Classical
Studies in Athens, with the help of
group from the University of Gin

Troy was the seat of the famous
excavating of Heinrich Schliemann,
great German orientalist, in 1870, who
proved that the city could be un-
peeled in nine great layers. Work was
also done at Troy by DR.. Doerpfeld,
probably the greatest living classical
scholar in 1893 and 1894. but since
then it has not been seriously attacked
DR.. Doerpfeld will help the Americans
in their preliminary studies and may
take hand in the excavation The
Turkish government has given cordial

Hydroelectric Power

ROME An inventory Of the ma
tons hydroelectric resources, being

causing much qualification, for the pre-
liminary work reveals not only that
Italy is leading Europe in this regard
but that there is a possibility of reach
ing an annual output of $4,000 900 900
kilowatt hours. The progression has
been from 25O000O00O kilowatt hours
in 1918 to 1000, 100000 in 1890
Because Italy produces practically no
coal. nearly 90 per cent of the electri-
cal energy is used for industrial pur-
poses. The policy of the Fascist gov
eminent is to utilize the hydroelectr1c
resources to the fullest extent in order
to end the importation Of coal. Fur
