Clothes for Fall and Winter for your use we have been guided by the thought that your needs must first be considered. We have taken it for granted that no success may be looked for unless your problems are first solved. Therefore, we have selected our line with the firm resolution to put into it every bit of our ability to put into H. O. P. Clothes that “character” which makes them better value than any other line. Our experience of many years brings us to the canviction that we have succeeded with H. O. P. Clothes because of their visible qualities, and their greater merit of holding the friends they make.

Part of the navi- | gation stopped altogether and imports were very considerably restricted, partly by destruction or seizure of | cargoes, partly by refusal of exports to Denmark by the belligerent pow- ers, conditions accentuated by the en- | - trancé of the United States into the war. “‘Denmark’s trade balance the war has been good. culture and pavigation have earned | fits which have more than covered the expenditure, and our exports have during | Our agri- exceeded our imports.

This is all very well, but it'would have been more fertunate if for part of the profits we had been able to obtain the ar- ticles which we want, and which are now more urgently needed than ever before. As is well known, this has not been possible., We have not been .masters in our own house as re- gards imports, nor even as regards ex- ports. Only when it was absolutely necessary have the latter been ,stop- ped, for export prohibition always im- pairs one group of home interests and exposes us to the risk of further re- strictions of the import of articles in which the shortage may be even more fatal. Important political considera- tons also come into play here. “The general level of prices has been raised in Denmark and Sweden by 50 per cent, in Norway by more than 75 per cent, and in England by sbout 100 per cent: ARK’S SUi’PLY HUGE TRENCH MORTAR OF WOOD | was captured by the Canadian troops CAPTURED BY CANADIAN TROOPS \ in a recent advance near Lens.

Athens, Sept. 30—(Correspondence) —There are ten monster American locomotives standing in line on a side track at the Piraeus, the port of Ten ! Athens, gradually g~=g to pieces for {lack of use. They are evidence of the progressive modern methods which a recent government administration sought to practice, without, however, due calculations in advance. « It was fglt that the time had ogme to modernize Greek railways, and an extensive project was worked out to that end. One part of the plan was to have the latest type of large ana powerful American locomotives. These were ordered, and ten of them were shipped across the Atlantic. They were greatly admired when they arrivea, but when they were put on the tracks it was discovered that the light rains almost flattened out with the weight put into making railway ' of the big engines, and the bridges along the main routes were not strong enough to permit the engines to pass. , It meant new bridges and new road- ! bed everywhere, dnd as’the finances were not equal to this strain the loco- motives were laid up for a time. This was many months ago, and the loco- motives still are waiting for the bridges to be strengthened. ABLE TO SUPPLY FOOD. Public Kitchens Are Scattered , Throughost the German Empire.
