COMMUNICATION IS CUT Nearly ft Hundred IIuhsIiui Soldiers Who Escaped From Germany Are Now in London Hidden Gold Pound. (By Associated Press.) ROTTERDAM, NotherlnndB, Aug. 30. (Correspondence of the Associ ated Press.) Rotterdam's shljiplng trarflc last year fell to the level or the year 1870 as regards the number of ships, and to tlio level of 18112 In respect of tonnage, according to the annual report of tho Rotterdam Chamber of Commerce. The shipping arrivals of the whole country num bered 6,114, with a not tonnage of 4,681,117, ns compared with ii,351 ships measuring 6,(121,478 In 1916. Traffic with Spain, Russia, Rou manla and many other iJuropenn countries Is entirely at a standstill, and that with Africa almost in a llko condition. Nearly half of Rotter dam's shipping, traffic was carried on with Billuln, Norway and Sweden. The other half was with tho United States and Argentina, whence came the country's grain Imports. A large part of the Rhino fleet was employed In the transport of gravel from Germany and Holland ovor Inland waterways to Belgium. This material Ib destined for Her man military and other uscb, and Its conveyance through Dutch waters has not been viewed with much favor to the entente powers. Holland maintains that such transport Is per missible under international law, and that in these clrcuniBtnncos strict neutrality forbids prevention of the traffic. Another considerable part of the Rhine fleet, In tho absence of the usual busy traffic with Germany waH chartered to curry coal from Antwoip, Delglum, to Germany, Switzerland, Scandinavia and Hol land. Germany, Austria and nelgluni be ing cut off from tho Netherlands Blast Indian ninrknt. and Britain's supplies being mostly confined to tex tile goods and fertilizers, tho report says America and Japan took advan tage of the position to considerably Increase their sulcs to tho East In dies. American Btipplles wore moro machinery and lronwaro than form erly, and her exports to those col onies are expected to Increase. It Is probahlo, In tho Chnmber's opinion, ihnt Japan will conttnuo to serve tho Netherlands lOnst Indian market aft er the war. So greatly has tho war hampered telegraphic communication bctwocn mothor country and col- ony that It Is now almost a rulo for telegrams to talto 10 to 12 days. If Holland rmnalns truo to its free trndo policy, tho Rotterdam Chambor nn tlrkpatos that she may nfter the war nil an important role as middleman between the present belligerent coun tries, whose rnminorclnl relntlnnB may lint nt flint bo of tho best de scription. 100 Russian Soldier.

Re ceipts of the Bank of France show there is still a considerable amount of gold In private hands In France. It is coming out at present at the rate of about 2,000,000 francs a week.' In searching the residence of a re cently interned Austrian subject at Nlego the other day, the police found 22,000 francs Ln gold coins of bcv eral different countries. This gold was turned over to the Bank of France, while more than 1,000,000 francs worth of securities were put under seal.

X X Fl The following taken from the Glas gow Allssourian, gives a full account of the funeral of the late Benjamin Cameron, who formerly resided with his sister, Mrs. Amanda Roadman, In this city, and was well and favor ably known in Douglas county where he had a host of friends: The fuuoral services of Benjamin Cameron were held at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Ed Eagleston, Mon day afternoon, the 10th Inst, at 1:30 o'clock, conducted by Dr. C. C. Hem- en way. The services began with a brief Invocation and the singing of "What a Friend We Hav in Jesus," by Misses Athleen Prichett and Myra Wengler. Dr. Hemenway then read Psalms 23 and 90, and -from First Corinthians, chapter 15, on the Res urrection. He then made a short address based on the 00th Psalm, which is entitled "A Prayer of Mosos." Dr. Hemenway said that tho psalm was a meditation on human lire, its brevity, its disappointing and painful experiences, Its capacity for knowledge and wisdom, and ability to exert Influence and accomplish re sults that cun be permanent. Moses first compares man's lire with the eternal existence of God and finds that human lire ln the comparison is llko a plant which blooms and fudes in a day. Even at its longest of four scoro years it is full of anxiety and disappointment and pain. With this frank and clear view of life, Moses prays that, by these experiences, he may be able to gain wisdom and to see the character of God and the glory of his divine plan and purpose I'or ub; and finally that "the beauty of tho Lord may rest upon him." ThlB last petition Is for purity of heart and righteousness of conduct which is the beauty of the Lord seen ln the llfo of his people. Moses con cludes with the request that his life work may survive his Bhort life and bo permanently established In Influ ence over othors. Dr. Hemenway gave a brief sketch of Mr. Cameron's life. He was born in Newport, Tonn., August 5, 1852, and died In the home of his sister, In Glasgow, Mo., September 8, 1017. When a young man he came with his paronts nnd their family to Mis souri. Aftor a few years he went to the far west and made his home with his Iwln sister ln the state of Ore gon. Ho was nevor married. The low nltitiulo and climate of Oregon finally affected hlB heart, so thnt he came east for relief, nut the change did not avail. Ho spent a short time In Slater with a brother, nnd then cnnie to Glasgow, surviving but a few days. Ho was ono of a family of 12 children, seven of whom survive him. viz: J. II. Cameron, of Olonn's Ferry. Idaho; Mrs. Amanda linadman, of RoKBhurg, Oregon; J. M. Cameron, of linymonu, Neb.; Mrs. Margaret Eagleston, of Glasgow, Mo.; J. A. Cameron, of San Diego, Calif.; R. L.
