Frace's Exposition Ddewing 1 Crowds of Americans * < Marseilles, June 23.?France's col- 1 c oniql exposition is proving a great j attraction to visitors, especially to Americans. The party of prominent American bankers which recently j came to Marseilles was particularly j interested in the great, exhibit from ^ French Indo-China, the near neighbor ( to the Philippines and a territory so rich and extensive that it plays n great part in Pacific problems. French Indo-China has a population of 17,000,000 as against 7,600,000 in the Philpipines, and its area is about 259,000 square miles, or 144,000 square mi.es more than* the 1 Philippines. French Indo-China is i 87,000 square miles larger than all ' the Japanese Islands and has only < one-fourth the population. 1 The chief building of the French 1 Indo-China exhibit is a reproduction 1 of the fantastic Temple of Angkor, in Cambodia. Thin niammnth ' with its fine fretted towers and mag- > nificent approaches protected by ani- ( mals, is the most striking feature of 1 the exposition. In fact it is doubtful ' whether any exposition ever offeffred < a more impressive and unique build 1 ing. The temple stands in a secluded 1 spot, with much open space about * it. It is reproduced in concrete and: plaster made in excellent imitation 1 of marble. Pagodas in th esame style- < of architecture flank the main en- ] trance and are surrounded by lagoons, i No detail of a Buddhist temple has < been omitted in developing the ex- I terior. 3 VVithing are exhibits of IndoChinese products. Cotton, rice, rub- 1 her, coal, hemp, timber, wool and va- J tious other raw materials yielded by 3 Tonking, Cambodia, CochinfChina 1 and Annam are shown, together with paintings, photographs and cinema pictures illustrating the scenery and varied industries. Marseilles calls itself the colonial v capital, of the French empire. Ships i from this port radiate to every im- 1 portant seaport in colonial France, ,1 which is SPPnn/1 Anltt in oviont urwl I ? wealth to colonial England, and upon j which Marseilles boasts the sun never < sets. 1 ' In 1906 the first colonial exposition < was held in Marseilles. This was to i be a decennial event, but the war ] prevented holding another till this year. Thirty-six hectares of beauti- ' fully wooded park are devoted to the exposition. Tunis, Algeria, Morocco, 1 Madagascar, French West Africa, ! Equatorial Africa and the French West Indies ail have buildings, many ] of which are of unusual charm. 1 Marseilles itself is a congress of 1 nations. In normal tiM**: colonials i ^ of varying shades, from the light yel- < low of the Mongolia*-t the- ebcmy j black of the Senegalese, are' to be? i seen in the streets.

He won 18 out of 19 starts by 'many lengths" and then in a special natch race defeated his only conlueror, Gray Pox, by leading him at the end of 3,000 meters. The match *ace was the result of active public Jemand and many thousands were vagered on the result, so intent was he populace upon seeing its favorite estored. The race was a thriller. Botafogo irst took the lead and then relinquished it, the two steeds exchanging daces with the turn of almost every furlong post. Cheers of the crowd changed abruptly to maddening groaning and back to cheering as the race progressed. On the home stretch Botafogo was ?iven his head and leaping into a lurricane sprint he finished so far ahead of Gray Fox that some spectators ran between the two. Expedition to Mt. Everest I .on don, June 23.?Sir Francis Ifounghusband, president of the RoyU Geographical Society, is authority for the statement that the expedition which was to attempt the conquest of Mount Everest had left Darjelling at the end March and had arrived at the mountain in good liealth. So far as the configurat'on >f the mountain was concerned there remained no serious obstacles to oppose the climbers. "But there still remains," he added, "the incalculable factor that may prove fatil to success?Ithe debilitating effect of high altitudes on the human constitution. "We have sent out the hardiest, pluckiest and most experienced mountaineers we can-4in<j^ But can they, with all their coumge and determination, skill and resource, successfully contend against the paralysing lassitude which the rarifloation of th? l4r beyond 23,000 feet is certain to prodaee. \ Must I TO THE BUSINESS ME1 IF PROMOTION OP TUi ?? m IIV11 V# A AAA] JCCESS?LACK OF CAP STOCK-S50-IN THE I ORY SHAPE.

Sugar Industry in Philippine Islands Manila, P. I., June 23.?Efficiency of the sugar centrals in the Philippine Islands is approaching the Hawaiian standard, according to records in the offices of the Philippine Sugar Centrals agency on the six centrals controlled by the Philippine National bank "on the Island of Negros. E. W. Kopke, supervising chemist of the agency who has returned to Manila from a four month's stay in Negros, where the bank's centrals are located said: "The average number of tons of cane per ton of sugar at the bank's centrals is 8.53, compared with the average of 8.61 for Hawaii in 1921. The average factory efficiency for five of these centrals for the season is 91.8. This is a very favorable record when all the conditions are considered. Our milling results are somewhat below those in Hawaii, but the boiling-house recovery compares favorably -with results in Hawaii. The degree of exhaustion of final molasses is 38.6 for Hawaii and our mills are on a par with this record. "There is less ash in Philippine cane juices and sugar than there is in those of Hawaii, which gives our sugar better refining characteristics. Hawaiian cane averages 18 percent more fiber per ton of cane than our cane, but all our centdals have been able to get along without additional fuel. "The planters are cooperating with us heartily in every way which is especially important in its bearing on future production and increased production per acre under cultivation. Twenty-five experimental fields are now under the supervision of the bureau of science where problems of fertilizing, etc., are being solved." The way things are going, it can't be Ueng until the ideal marriage is r*cbgnired as one where neither party yields to the temptation to kill the othfer.?Cleveland News.

Million More Soldier in Europe Than in 1913 Washington, June 23 (By the Associated Press).?Germany laid be- J fore the Genoa Conference figures showing that there are today under arms in Europe nearly a million more soldiers than there were on the verge of the World war in 1913. Accordijyr to the German statement which has just reached Washington there are now in Europe a grand total of 4,736,000 men under arms compared with 3,726,641 in the year 1913. While the mighty German army of 760,000 men of 1913 shrunk to the 100,000 soldiers allowed by the Versailles Treaty, the French army which in that year numbered 883,000, this year stands at 880,000. Greece's army has increased from 40,000 to auu.uuu and Belgium's from 54,641 to 113,400, the statement shows. Russia's vast army, which in 1913 numbered 1,845,000 now is rated at 1,600,000 men. England shows a slight increase from 248,000 to 277,000, while Italy reduced her forces from 275,000 to 264,000. New armies appear in the German statement. Poland, for instance, an unknown power in 1913, is now appearing with an army of 300,000 men. Then there is Esthonia with ' 25,000, Finland with 28,000, Lettonia with 25,000, Lithuania with 25,000 and Czecho-Slovakia with 260,000, all unknown military forces Obefore : the World war. Finally it was show to the Genoa Conference that while in the year ' 1913 the German army comprised 20 percent of the total armies of Eu 1 rope compared with 23 1-5 percent for France, at present the German per- 1 centage is but 2 against 18 1-2 per- ' cent for France.
