England noeda to produce a great
deal more wealth than alio did be
fore the war and sho can boat learn
from America how to do It, aald C.
A. McCurdy, parliamentary secreta
ry to tho food controller, In a recent
speech dealing with England's in
dustrial and lubor troubles.
"Machlnory nnd motive power are
tho tools you givo the workor for
his buslnoss," ho continued. "Bo
foro tho war tho American workor
wna far hotter oqulppod In this ro-
spoct than tho British working : rr.
Ho had 50 per cent more motive
power, atoam power or oloctrlcal
powor to holp him In his task.
"Wo might doublo tho otucioncy
nnd tho output of British workmen
by giving Britlah industry cheap ind
nbundnnt motive powor."

Tho vessel, tho Milton, 3000 tons,
from Now York with a cargo of conl
caught flro whon lying In tho rlvor
Tagua.
Tho wholo vossol was ahlazo In
Iosh than half nn hour. It was
foamed that tho anchor chains might
snap and tho ship bo carried awny
nnd act other ahlps on flro, so It wna
doclded to destroy tho ahip by gun

After tho gunboat had flrod 189

HUN HARD PUT
FOR HOUSING
OF THE ENEMY
BERLIN, Oct. 20 (Correspond
once tho Associated Press). Ger
many la fairly dazed by the domands
of the outonto military and naval
commissions for tho housing of their
suporvislonal forces, which, accord
Ing to tho peace treaty, may havo
their headquarters at the seat of tho
German government, and placo aub-
commlnalons at any point in Ger
many. ,
Tho entente has given notlco thnt
It will send a chief commission to
Berlin, and ton sub-commissions to
other points. It demands, from Ber
lin, hotel accommodations compris
ing COO rooms, housing for 300 non
commissioned officers and men, and
garage facilities for 60 automobt!c3.
Those uro tho requirements for the
army and naval forces.
For the air forces tho entente
wants 200 rooms in a hotel, 100 of
flco rooms), bousing for 450 persons,
and garago space for 60 automobiles.
Tho figures look largo to Germans,
for guosts at all tho big hotels even
now are happy to bo able to creep
into a bathroom and snatch somo
Bleep.
Tho Council of States has docldod
that tho monoy agreed upon to fur
nish quarters for tho ontonto mis
sions, 5,000,000 marks, was not
enough. It Is, howover, rooms, ho
tels, dwellings, moro than monoy,
which Is worrying tho government.
The government has mado a bo
ginning by announcing that it will
confiscate ono hotel which has 185
rooms, and use the building In Wll
holmalrasae, now tho headquarters of
tho press division, for office spaco.
Another hotel haa been confiscat
ed for the air division. That, how
over, leaves a big gap betwoen what
can bo supplied and what is demand
ed. The government may perhaps
hcod tho many suggestions made re
cently for using various former roy
al and princely castles, which would
rcliovo tho strain on the already
overstrained Berlin hotels.
BRITISH WATERS
CLEARED OF MINES
LONDON, Oct 20. (Correspond

thoro were 600 o Ulcers and 15,000

service.
Drifting mines must still be tx-
pocted, shipping men have been
warned, but It is boltoved that tno
southwest winds will scon drift them
into tho Heligoland Bight.
Airships were used for "spotting"
tho moored mines and tho highest
tldos wore chosen for sweeping to
thnt tho trawlers drlftlcd ovor thorn.
No warship or merchant vossol obey
ing instructions struck a moored
mine in areas under British control,
but six or seven fishing vessols woro
mined.

said the police, who refuse to di

Burgess and Perrlnger were killed
while dining when the three raakod
men entered the hotel, rounded iir
the guests and robbed them, getting;

proaching $2500 in value.

it may be that Burgess ancV
others showed resistance. No ne
