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. But the expoai- 'j

In addition to the display of colonial
resources there are also art,

lalls as well as various government
buildings and a street devoted wholly

\rgentine Horse Lovers
Mourn Death of Botafogo
Buenos Aires , June 23.?ArgenJne
lovers of horse flesh are mournng
the death of Botafogo more, perhaps,
than would Americans if ManD'-War
or Morvich were to die, for
Botafogo really was one of the most
emarkable thoroughbreds in the his;ory
of the turf.
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.

"Experience?the experience of
these next few weeks?alone can determine.
The weakness is occasioned
by the lessening quantity of oxygen
we have sent out special apparatus
for supplying the precious gas.
Even this may not avail for the apparatus
is heavy, and of necessity the
climbers themselves must carry it.
And no one can say whether the advantage
of breathing the oxygen will
outVeigh the drawback of having
to carry the apparatus."
wun every condition favorable, Sir
Francis concluded, t? task might I
prove beyond human capacity.
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.
Norway Is investigating the possibilities
of electrifying its railways.

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.
How American Relief i

of 150 Americans is able to direct
the feeding of pearly 10,000,000
starving Russians is depicted in advices

American Relief Administration.
The organization is similar to the
army supply system. Headquarters
are in Moscow, which cordesportds
geographically to Chicago. Ten divisions,

river on the Caspian sea, every ra
head on the Volga is manned by An
erncan units. Here GO men supervis
the feeding of more than 5,000,0(
people.
In the Ukraine and the Crimea, tl
five strategic points of Kiev, Kha
tov, Odessa, Ekaterinoslav and Thei
dosia are the bases of supplies fro
which 27 Americans direct child-feet
ing and food remittance deliveries.
Refugee kitchens and stations fi
food remittance are operating i
Vitebsk, Minsk, and Gomel, provit
ing for the district west of Mosco'
to the Polish border. Beyond th
famine zone on the upper Volga
Americans are in charge of transfi
warehouses jit two points, and ab
at two intermediate points betwee
Moscow and Volga. Corn is shippt
directly through these centers fc
transhipment to famine centers.
Thus every thickly populated cei
ter of Russia is covered. Mosco

Yet, with such handicaps, the Ae
