Before China joined in the war| ngainst Germany and Ausia, she had niready supplied more than 100,000 | laborers to France, England and Rus- sla. Coolies for agricultural work and dock work have been going to | western Europe for nearly two years. Russia has also been drawin, from China’s inexhaustible supply of labor for Siberian mines and Siber- lan farms. 4Now that China is actually in the | war, the task of recruiting laborers : for work beyond the seas will be far | easier. The government will lend a willing hand and competition which | hitherto has existed between the var- | lpus powers in recruiting coolies prob- | mbly will be eliminated. Of the 400,000,000 persons in China, 1 1t is estimated that at least 40,000,000 | Rre men capable of carrying arms or | doing some sort of labor directly con- | nected with the war. Of this num ber 20,000,000 are living within rea- nable distance of transportation fa- | lities, and could be mobilized were It necessary. China has such an abundance of men that millions could be spared to the advantage of those, remaining at home. Premier Would Send 1,000,000. Premier Tuan-Chi-jui is enthusias- tic about sending an army to Europe. Ple believes 1,000,000 soldiers could be trained and sent to Europe within ' six months, were the Allies to supply equipment and officers for general supervision.

The government also announces that liccnses have industries make it impossible for her t¢ outfit even a small army. China has the wool, the cotton and the hides necessary to clothe a great army, but she lacks facilities to con- vert these into shoes and clothing. Raw material and labor . exist in China in abundance, but there is no effective industrial organization. Should it become necessary China's unlimited labor could furnish much of the clothing for the allied armies, were modern factories erected in China under foreign supervision. Trade Barriers Swept Aside. TLondon, Sept. 20.—Commenting on he phrase in President Wilson's re- ly to the Pope’s note, in which he said that ‘“no peace can rest secure- ly upon political or economic re- strictions meant to benefit some na- tions and cripple or embarrass oth- ers, upon vindictive action of any sort, or any kind of revenge or deliberate injury,’ The Economist, says:— “In other words the power which must now be recognized as speaking with the weightiest voice in the coun- cils of the Allies has brushed aside all the futilities of the Paris Con- ference and shown us the way to a peace which shall not be inaugurated by the raising of trade barriers all over the world but by a real exten- sion of free trade and of co-opera- tion between nations for the material welfare of mankind. In view of the scarcity of food and raw materials that will face us when the war 1is over, any measures that will imply restrictions on our imports of these essentials to industry would be a blunder that might seriously handi- cap our industrial recovery. Presi- dent Wilson's peace promises us a world in which mankind may be united into one great *hrobbing hive of industry, in which the best work- ers will. win battles by turning out the best stuff, and the world’s out- put and consumption of zoods mmay be quickened to an axtent un- dreamed ~f." head of cattle to Norway or Finland but nothing to Germany as heretofore. The government has taken ener- getic steps to organize wood cutting and the transportation of the enor- mous quantity of fuel which will be wanted in the winter. Germany has only sent about one-fifth Sweden’s ordinary consumption of coal, 5,500,- 000 tons, and England practically | nothing. ‘been granted for the export of 5,000 ground space is covered househigh with piles of firewood while every open place presents the same picture. Numercus steamers are bringing props every week to port before the water freezes in October or Novem- ber. Sweden in this way is to a cer- tain extent making herself indepen- dent of English and German coal for the time being. Lighting is another capital prob- lem in Sweden. Petroleum has in- creased in value to over $3.00 a gal- lon and cannot really be counted on as a factor. Swedish manufactories |of calcium carbide have increased their output and the dark season will be met. by sufficient quantity of car- bide. Simultaneously, factories have taken up the manufacture of lamps. Sweden also has hurried the elec- trifying of its waterfalls to provide light. Changghun, Manchuria, Aug. 14— Manchurian and Siberian wheat prob- ably will be exforted to America to replace American wheat shipped to the Entente Allies in Europe. Be- cause of the lack of locomotives and cars, it is impossible to send the wheat surplus from eastern Asia into | European Russia. At scores of rail- way stations in Siberfa and Man- churia, sacks of wheat only slightly protected by temporary sheds are rapidly deteriorating. Agents of the United States gov- ernment have been inspecting the wheat and soy beans which are await- ing transportation, and it is prob- able that the wheat and beans with- in reasonable distance of tidewater will be diverted to America. There are many flour mills in Si- beria and Manchuria. European Rus- sia lackg milling facilities. Plans are under consideration for the removal of some of the mills from western Siberia to centers in southern Rus- SMOKE OXMOOR A MILD. PLEASANT 8c CIGLR A.

It is expected that vessels similar to this first one will be constructed in four to four and one-half months.
