While the allies are engaged In the struggle with German autocracy, tbe problem of meeting Industrial ag gression after the war also is receiv ing attention. France is debating1 regulations to compel registration of nationality by manufacturers and trades people, soj that the nation which has borne the brunt of the German assaults may not unwittingly send gold to provide funds for another war. Italy has issued a decree requiring declara tions or nauonauiT. uiners ui allied countries are discussing sim ilar measures, despite opposition Id some official quarters to anything savoring of an "economic war after the war." German duplicity and intrigue re vealed in the last four years have strengthened fears in European countries that Germany may attempt to market her goods when peace comes by means of "masked exports" giving the Impression that they orig inated elsewhere. Official dispatches quoting financial writers, say that it Is to be expected France for some time after the war ends will be de pendent upon Imports, because the most Important industrial districts have been devastated hy tbe Invad ers and In order to prevent unwit ting buying of enemy goods, three measures have been suggested, as follows: ' ' ' 1. To establish a personal regis ter.' ,'''. : 2. To establish a trade register. 3. To demand tbe national mark nut on all goods Imported Into France. ' With regard to the personal regis ter. It Is the intention to make one for each community, containing the names and addresses of all the In habitants, their birthplaces and the names of tbelr parents. All store' keepers shall hane in the shops a si en nlalnlr statin e their nationality. On the basis of this personal reg ister, a trade register shall be kept, Denmark, Switzerland, Hungary and Germany. There Is no Intention of boycotting German goods. : Economists have pointed out that such a step would be a senseless thing to do and the Intention In France is only to con trol the German Imports and keep I Writers In neutral European coun tries have pointed out that such In ternational protective system would do away with all suspicion regard ing the origin of goods, make access to the big markets easier and pro tect them against being monopolised by the more powerful states. Germany Is not missing any chance to prepare for business after the war, plans In th making Including one of such tremendous proportions as a canal between the Black Sea and the Baltic. The Lubeck Cham ber of Commerce has reported that the canal would shorten the trans portation of petrolenm from Batoum to Hamburg by 3.000 kilometers new markets for German goods would be opened' and Russian products could be obtained by Germany at a much cheaper price than heretofore. E EXCUSE FOR SLACKERS AMERICANIZING ENGLAND An order has been Issued requir ing all street railway companies In Great Britain to reduce their coal consumption by fifteen per cent as compared with that last year. Several street railways, including those of Liverpool snd Manchester, have decided to adopt the American precedent of running ."skip-stop" cars, which omit snout nair or tne customary stops.

They are "The Auc tion Block," a screen version of the popular book by that name by Ilex Beach and "Thais," with the beauti ful Mary Garden as the star. Rex Beach's "The Auction Block," produced by the Rex Beach compauy and released through Goldwyn, Is a type of picture that none can avoid and all will enjoy. The title Is a power In Itself, It is one of the best works of Mr. Beach. Nor does It have to rely upon Its popularity as a work of Action for its praises, as It adapts Itself to the screen. There Is the appealing note, ever present, its dominance standing ready to demand reserved attention. Through it alt runs the vein of suggestlveness, but handled with such a degree of sub tleness that there Is no loop-hole left for the finer sensibilities of any one to accept this mute appeal, as In any way, offensive. In "The Auction Block," the screen has been given a production that 'will hold from the flash of the title to the final dis solve. The cast which Director Irry Trimble has assembled Is, with pos sibly the exception of one of Its con stituents, one of the strongest, most capable collection of players ever seen before the camera. This production will be shown at the Joy theatre next Thursday and Friday. STRONG "outside connections" are fundamentally Import ant to any bank that seeks to serve Its community welt. City Terminals and markets must be kept In lonotant touch so that business men snd farmers, shippers snd man ufscturers can cooperate to the best Interests of themselves und thlr government.
