IN BLACK OR TAN, ALL LEATHERS SHANGHAI, Ort n (Corrr-iipond-enco Associated 1'rens) Despite nil llio obstacle Imposed by post-war reconstruction throughout tho world nnd liy continued Internnt Ktrifo vltliln the country, China's export trade In 1318 touched the highest total It has ever attained, according to the annual report of the Inspo general of ciiRtomH. The exports to taled In value 485, 883,031 Hnlkwnn taelH, an IncreaBe of 22,951,101 taels over tho total for 191 7, and of 4,- 085,005 tuels over the total for 1916, whlclj was tho bent previous record. Tho average value of tho Halkwan tael In 1918 was $1 2C In American money; In 1917, $1.03, and In 19JG, 79 cents. The report shown that Japan con tinued to he China's best customer in 1918, as exports to Japan for tho year amounted to 163,394,092 Halk wnn taels The British crown colonv of Hongkong holds second place, while the United Stats was third in tho list with exports totaling 77, 134,200 taels. Ilussla formerly was China's best customer for teas, besides consum ing large quantities of other Chi nese products. How tho disturbed conditions in Russia have affected the country's credit may be decn from the fact that China's exports to European ports of Russia fell from 4,222,617 Halkwan taels il 191C to 83 taels in the year coh ered by the report. All through the report the direct effects of the war in Europe are to be soon. In 1916 China shipped goods having a value of 1,105,998 Halkwan taels to the Netherlands. When tho blockade against the northern neutral countries became effective the following year China's exports to the Netherlands dropped to 26,356 taels and they reached the vanishing point in 1918. It is seen that the bulk of China's trade with the rest of the world comes out of the northern part of the country. Exports that originat ed from Shanghai, the country's principal commercial center, amount ed in 1918 to 175,089,475, while tho exports from the principal south ern center of Canton were 58,0' 0,- 793 taels. From the northern river port of Hangkow, Shanghai's closest competitor, exports in 1918 were valued at 102,825,328 taels. It is apparent In the report that export trade in China is becoming diffused, and the record total of 1918 is due to increases made hi many lesser shipping centers, for the large ports like Shanghai, Hang kow, Tientsin and Canton made but slight increases or at best only held their own.

The priest calls upon the young woman and pleads the cause of of her lover, assuring her that he is a good man, that ho catches many seals, etc. It is the custom for the woman to re ject all proposals at first, but to yield at last an unwilling assent. If sho remains obdurate, however, the priest mentions that it is a matter of no consequence, as there are nu merous other young women who would be glad of the chance, which remark seldonf'fails to bring an ac ceptance of the marriage proposal. IlKItMN, Oct. 14 (Correspond ence tho Associated Press). Uorlln faces a winter with little or no coal 'and consequent freezing conditions, lack of electricity, gas and lighting I and, In addition, a shortage of dwellings. Up to now tho government has In most cases contented Itself with appealing to house owners who have more than enough room to volunteer some. space to those without shel ter The replies have been exceed ingly few, and those in power uro seriously considering an adaptation of the system in vogue in Budapest and Munich during tho Soviet re gime. That is, the authorities would forcibly take over parts of certain, houses. A Berlin magistrate has ordered all the war companies, most of them in process of dissolution or entirely' dissolved, out of their spacious quar ters which they had enjoyed for tho period of the war, to provide places for those who have no homes. Another suburb, Creunau, pro poses to confiscate the dwellings of bachelors and put families In them, though it is not stated what would be done with the bachelors. Other suburbs plan to confiscate, for tho winter at least, the homes of sum mer guests that stand empty all the winter, and fill them with the homo less. One surburb has already tak en this step. The city of Berlin has erected In the Tempelhofer Cbaussee district a model house of clay, and will dupli cate them en masse if it is found that they are practicable. The dwell ing authorities plan on the erection, as soon as possible, of 5500 perma- soon as possible, 5500 permanent as nent residences of modest character. The dwelling authorities plan one- and two-family houses with garden. and larger family houses with a number of apartments, and a tiny garden to each dwelling. Average building costs are esti mated conservatively at four and a half times the peace rate. The government has already ob tained control of some 7000 empty stores, garrets, work plants, bar racks and temporary structures to shelter those in pressing need. A total of 20,000,000 marks has 'thus far been voted or raised for these emergency measures. Swarms of people from the occu pied territories are arriving In "Ber lin, increasing the need faster than measures can be taken to alleviate it. The dwelling association issues warnings repeatedly against the In flux into Berlin, but without much effect. The first woman pastor of any Southern Methodist church in Mis souri is Miss Josie Smart, a Kansas City Bible training school graduate. who has received official appointment as pastor of churches in the neigh boring towns of Bragg City and Arbyrd.
