RUSSIAN GOLD PAID TO
ALLIES FOR MUNITIONS
MOSCOW, Nov. 19 (by Associated
Press.) Extracts alleged to be tak
en from the reports of Admiral Kol
chak's minister of finance, M. Bour
vchkin, printed in the newspaper,
Economic Kite, purport to show the
^ disposition of part of the Russian
gold reserve seized by the Czecho
slovaks at Kazan during the summer
of 1918. It is claimed that the docu
ments which are the basis for the
disclosures were captured when the
reds took Omsk, Kolchak’s capital,
in November last year.
According to the newspaper’s state
ment $1.69fi,887 worth of the gold
was used to purchase war material
from the allies or placed on de
posit in foreign banks to guarantee
loans from Japan and an Anglo
* American syndicate.

STARVING FOR BREAD
BUT LABORERS SPEND
ROMP. Nov 19 (by Associated
I’ri'ss.) - Professor I'go Ancona,
formerly under secretary of trans
portation in the Italian cabinet, has
just made public a statement that
while iho Italian government has
spent more than $1,000,000,000 a
year for bread for the people, the
Italian workers have spent $900,009,
000 a year on wine alone.
The amount of land given over to
wheat production in Italy greatly de
creased last year. The disastrous
result is that the imports are in
able to buy bread at the rate of one
liia for each kilogram of 2.20 pounds.
Professor Ancona says that while
the workers refuse to pay more than
this, they have no objection to pay
ing 4 to 5 lira for a quart of wine,
which before the war cost about
12 cents a quart. He asks whether
it is just that the Italian govern
ment should continue to supply over
$1,000,000,000 annually for bread
when the people do not grudge
$900,000,000 a year for the luxury of
wine.
The professor advocates that the
Italians should eat less bread and
pay what it costs and that they
should drink less wine and export
more of it, so that the profit on
wine would help to pay for importa
tion of bread.

MANY ENGINES
GO TO FRANCE
NKW YORK, Nov. 20.—In the first
eight months of this year the Unit
ed Stall's exported 1.150 locomotives
to all parts of the world, nearly 200 j
more than in all of la ft t year and
more than twice as many as nor
mally exported annually before the I
war. it *is shown by the National
Bank of Commerce in New York in
the November number of its maga
zine, Commerce Monthly. The larg
est. purchases this year have been
made by Belgium, Italy, France, Bo
land and Danzig.
Representing a rather large out- j
bought in quantity only as a detin-1
ite step in the rehabilitation or ex-1
tension of railroad lines,” says
Commerce Monthly. “A country im
ports rather than makes its locomo
tives either because it has not high
ly developed its manufactures or, as
in the case of France, because its
manufacturing has been so disrupted
by war that domestic manufactures
cannot supply its needs.
“Before the war the export of loco
motives was concentrated in the
hands of the great steel-producing
countries. Great Britain, Germany
and the United States. Under these
circumstances American sales to Eu
rope were very small. During the
war, however, the United States was
called upon to supply locomotives
to Europe, and in 1918 even sent
241 to England. Since the close of
the war the United States has been
the only country prepared to ship

From the maple groves of Vermont
and Canada comes the rich flavor
of the new Karo Maple
Delicious maple flavor and
moderate price sold over five
million cans of Karo Maple
last year. A money-saving
hint to many mothers
Over a thousand tons of the purest and finest
flavored maple sugar are used annually to make
Karo Maple delicious enough to be the preference
of those who enjoy maple syrup.
The world’s largest users of maple sugar are
the makers of Karo Maple. Karo Maple outsells,
by far, every kind of maple synip.
The price is remarkably moderate—econom
ical enough to serve daily to all the family.
Serve it to the children on their bread, and to
all the folks on waffles, griddle cakes, or crisp,
buttered toast.
Our belief that you will like Karo Maple
equally as well as millions of others is best ex
pressed by the following suggestion:
Ask your grocer for Karo Maple in the GREEN CAN.
It is guaranteed to please you or your grocer returns
your money.
