Paris, March 9. A. P. Husband,
secretary of the Millers National
Federation in Chicago, who has just
finished a business trip through
Northern Europe in the interests of
bis organisation, believes that, ex

be Impossible to resume business
with these countries in the near fu

been greatly, damaged Dy me war.
For flour, however, the product in
which he is the most interested, the
conditions are somewhat different. That
is. an article of prime necessity which
will be bought at any cost perhaps in
smaller Quantities by Germany, Sweden,
Holland and France. It was to investi
gate the possibility of reestablishing the
foreign connections that Mr. Husband
came to Europe.
The situation In the Scandinavian
countries is particularity interesting," he
said. "They suffer both ways In rela
tion to the condition of the money mar

currency in isew York they can buy
little in America and owing to the enor

and Finland they can sell little there.

Mrs. Yone Suzuki, of Japan, Is by far the richest woman In the Orient,
and probably the richest woman In the world in her own right. It is
estimated that Mrs. Suzuki male from $150,000,000 to $200,000,000 during
the war. Her ships sail the seven seas carrying goods of all kinds from
her many factories. She has branch offices in London, New York, San
Francisco, Glasgow, Bombay, Melbourne, Hongkong and other big cities.
Among her many Interests are lead and copper mines, flour mills, rice
plantations, alcohol manufacture, silks, tea and valuable woods.

American Hotel Man

On London Property

London, England, March 9. It is re
ported that John McE. feowman, a New
Tork hotel owner, who has been ne
gotiating for the site of the Devonshire
house, where he proposed to erect a
huge hotel on American lines, has taken
an option on the Hots! Cecil property
on the Strand. According to my Infor
mation, the Devonshire house property
was held at such a high figure that
Mr. Bowman turned his attention to
other quarters.
The Cecil has an admirable location
overlooking the Thames and was largely
patronized by Americans before it was
taken over by the air ministry.
Although some of the London .papers
have emitted loud wails about Yankee
hotel kings coming here. I am told that
Mr. Bowman is a British subject and
formerly lived in Toronto.
John McE. Bowman was Sborn In
Canada. Since 1914 he has been the
owner of the Blltmore hotel In New
Tork city and other hotel properties.
He was a member of the federal food
administration, representing the hotel
and restaurant Industry.

London, England, March 9. News has

Prince Alexander has accepted the res

which also applies in less degree to other
countries."
In Germany, France and Belgium the
exchange problem is. even more acute.
If goods can possibfy be bought else
where they will not turn to the United
States. Like other observers Mr. Hus
band noticed a great many French com
mercial buyers in the Rhineland. The
lack of shipping and raw materials which
hinder production is likely, in his opin
