Holland is slowly but surely losing the one char arterstic of its landscape made fa mous in art and known to every schoolboy the squat, fat, lazy look ing windmills that for centuries have tend out all over the country's fiat surface. These quaint structures are gradu ally giving way to highly practical but ugly steam and electric plant Dutch technical men say the windmill is doomed. Now and th.cn a large group of them is replaced by one electric plant, and in the course of each year, a number are destroyed by fire presenting t spectacular blaze with the big burning wings wheeling around like fiery arms. They arc, never reconstructed. The existing type of Dutch windmill was invented about the year 1400. The great disadvantage of the windmill, of course, is its absolute dependence on weather conditions. For this reason, they are being replaced when possible by modern machinery. The Dutch windmill, however much it may look in pictures to be a toy, i.3 far from that It is a sturdy structure, as big as a good size house,, and the machinery inside is extreme ly powerful. Naturally, a great many of them remain, but the number becomes less year by year, and, so far as can be ascertained, the erection of a new Gne is seldom undertaken. By the Associated Press. Paris, Janl 21. Replying to ex pressions of esteem by David Lloyd George and American mbassador Hugh C. Wallace, Georges Clemenceau be fore final adjournment of the supreme council today said that if the "United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan remain united, the peace oi -he world will be assured. "If one day these nations are sep arated," he added, "I dare not think of the misfortunes which may result." After shaking hands warmly with all present, Clemenceau with tears in his eyes, left forever the foreign min ister's office in which he had toiled greatly fcr his country and the peace of the world.

The army reorganization bill drafted by the senate sub-committee Was endorsed by Secretary Baker before the full senate committee. lie said: "That is the most statesmanlike at tempt to reorganize the army ever made in any country and is exceeding ly and able and effective piece of legis lation." The measure provides for compul sory military training and the forma- 1 tion of one big armv to divided into a citizen's reserve army, the regular consisting nf two hundred thousand men and the national guard. The sick soldiers in ward 1-5 at Otcen, arc badly in need of fresh eggs, to be eaten raw. The only kind that are available there arc cold storage, and they do not go down well. Mrs. K. C.

MEXICAN DOLLARS IN USE AT SHANGHAI Ey the Associated Press Shanghai, Jan. 20. While Ameri cans have been buying British pound sterling in New York for $3.70 or less, Americans here have been paying $1C;0 in American gold for 76 Mexican dol lars which are in current use here. This unprecedented advance in the rate of exchange in Shanghai has been due to the acute rise in the price of silver. Probably no country in th world has been more 'sharply affected by this enhanced value of silver than has China. in con .u- nic of the confused ctate of exchange, the foreign trade through this city, China's mosttprincipal com mercial center, became more or less disorganized. Exporters ceased to look for new business and confined their activities wholly to filling old contracts from the terms of which they would have been glad to escape. Shanghai bankers held frequent conferences day and night in an ef fort to determine what might be done to stabilize the exchange rates. For one day all but one of the lead ing hanks in the city declined to is sue drafts in connection with export shipments to America. These expor ers who buy their goods in China for silver and sell them abroad for gold suffered most severely. They were obliged to restrict operations or raise prices wherever the goods were sold. On the other hand importers who buy their goods in America and are paid for them in Mexican dollar have prospered. One of the difficulties arising from the exchange situation is that much of the business here is done under terms ;uiin'.''cd several years ago when an American dollar was wor.n twj Mex ican dosl.'ars or more. Consequent ly foreign workers here hrve suf fered. The tankers conc'uded that one so lution of the problem wou.1 be to ncrease the p' ice of Chin i s products thrcughoht the world.
