CHICAGO, October 16.-The

the compilation Of answers Of $50
firms to similar questionnaires sent
out in 1881 and again in 1894, as re-

to the 1894 QUESTIONABLE indicate q
more definite interest in air travel and
express. More airmail Is also being
used In routine business transactions.
In 1881 80 per cent Of the firms
representatives answering the ques-
tionnaire said that they, or their
executives, had travelled BY air, and
AZ per cent this year. The same firms
reported their employees had more
than doubled the volume Of air trans

this year over 1881.
In answer to the question, ''Do yoc
travel by air on business?" So per

year, as against 81 per cent in 1881.
To the question, do you encour-
age your sales staff to use air trans

China's New Export Tax
Regarded as Virtual EN-

n the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. October I6.-Local
silver circles regard China's new tax
on silver exports as q virtual embargo
on metal shipments to other coun-
tries and as logical outcome Of the
buying program Of the United States
Government.
The world price of silver has been
climbing swiftly in the past week or
two in anticipation Of such an action
from China. Chinese spectators had
turned buyers and the steady drain
Of silver from Shanghai had dried up.
Many quarters expect the price to
continue its rise. now that the chief
source Of available metal has been
cut Of.
The Chinese government has the
power, 1t Is thought, to blockade ex-
ports by manipulating the tax and
the accompanying equalization fee'
In such q way as to offset any price
disparities which ordinarily would
make exports profitable.
Visitors to New York from China
warned Of this possibility weeks ago,
pointing out that China could not
endure the effects of metal losses
for long. The drain Of silver was
threatening to tighten credit and de-
press commodity prices, Just as gold
losses would react on American econ
omy.
Lower prices for Chinese goods.
reducing the valtse Of exports, would
cripple its ability to buy abroad, 1t
was argued. Gold countries naturally
regarded the situation without pro-
test, since China thereby would be
handicapped in its already limited
foreign markets, to the advantage Of
competitors.
Since June Q, when silver stocks at
Shanghai totaled ~, $50, 900 fine
ounces, the floating supply Of metal
there has been cut by nearly as per
cent, or to $50, 900 ounces, On
October 13.

ORIENTAL WISDOM

Addressing conference of mis-
sionaries, Rev. Harris Kirk of Baltimore
declared that "heathens have good reason
for disliking civilization, because it al
ways introduces the vices and evils of
civilized countries
He also predicted that the world will
eventually look to the Orient for political
and moral leadership.
Many missionaries have complained
of increasing difficulties since the world
war, owing to the bad impression created
by so-called Christian nations engaging in
that unholy orgy Of death and destruction
Even in peace times it can not be de-
MED that the prevalence of crime, es-
pecially in the United States, is a rather
sorry example to hold up to the heather.
No wonder they are skeptical of Western
culture and religion, when such fruits are
borne by our Wanted white civilization.
Abiding to this phase of the problem,
Robert Doan of Columbus expressed the
view that "practicing Christianity at home
is more essential than preaching it
abroad"
Rev. Kirk is no doubt sound in his
idea that we have much to learn of
philosophy and true morality from some
of the Eastern peoples. The Orientals
have been from time immemorial given to
serious. meditation on these problems.
- We might also remember that Chris
Il anitys like all the other principal re-
religions of the world, had its beginning in
Asia.

Because of the historic inn
portance of the Cartier discoy-
cries, both France and the Unit
ed States will join in observance
of the anniversary. A distin-
guished French delegation will
participate in the ceremonies at
Gaspe and then retrace the his
toric route of Cartier up the st.
Lawrence. Both the American
Government and many state
governments are to be invited
because later French explorers
traversed so much of the CONT
nent now the United States.
Champlain, La Sale, Joliet, Hen
nepin, La Verendrye-the list of
these explorers is almost endless
and they explored more of North
America in that period than any
other race. And what they found
turned out to be more marvel
llous than Cathay itself.
In memory of the past, Gaspe
peninsula and the st. Lawrence
Valley will be land of fetes this
summer in honor of the great dis
coverers and thousands of WISH
tors are expected along the mar
vellous highway system which
links together all the historic
spots of past centuries.

MONUMENTS TO A. E. F.

Impressive dedication ceremonies will
be held in France during the next few
weeks, when monuments to the heroism of
the American Expeditionary Force will be
unveiled on the principal battlefields
where United States troops fought during
the World War
These monuments have been erected
under the supervision of the American
Battle Monuments Commission, of which
General John j. Pershing is chairman,
created by an act of Congress approved
March A, 1923.
Among the battlefields and ceme-
teries selected for the erection of monu-
,ments and other memorial structures are
Chateau hierry chill 204). St. Mihiel,
Belleau Wood, Montfaucon, Suresness,
Blanc Mont, and Cantigny There also
has been erected Naval memorial at
Brest, commemorating the well-performed
task of the United States Navy in convoy
ing American troops to France.
In addition to It's work in selecting
sites, approving designs and erecting these
memorials, the commission has gathered
much historical material pertaining to the
war, including photographs of the battle
fields upon which American troops were
engaged.
Since his retirement from active mill
tary duty in 1924, General Pershing has
devoted the greater part of his time to the
work of the Monuments Commission,
which, needless to say, has been done
with the utmost care and thoroughness. It
is gratifying that the distinguished COM
mander of the A. E. f., who will be "a
years of age on September IL, has been
spared to complete this important patriotic
service

many merchants waste large share of

make UP her mind what or where to buy?
Does she get her shopping information
from a theater program or telephone di-
rectory? Not on your life.
Outside Of the store itself, the best
and almost the only way to attract pros

he reached the Island of Orleans,
off the present city of Quebec,
and still one of the most beauti-
full spots in Canada, Huron-Iro-
quois Indians told him he was

their word for village.
Still hunting China, in a long
boat he reached the Indian viii
lage of Hochelaga, site of Mon
treal, but stopped at the Lachine
Rapids, after climbing Mount
Royal. During the disastrous
winter near Quebec, when many
of his men died of scurvy, he still
tried to learn more of the mar
vellous Saguenay country, and
decided that the way to get there
was up the ottawa River.
In 1871 Cartier was back
again with a still larger expedi-
ton and anchored at Cap Rouge,
nine miles from the present Que
bee City. Later came the seign-
eur de Roberval, who was to be
in general command of the ex-
petition and who was to try to
ascend the Ottawa River to the
reported land of riches in the
Saguenay region. In 1543 Car
tier made his last trip to take
back Roberval.
