To me this shortage of labour there has been a considerable transference from trades adversely affected by the war to other industries which were rendered abormally active; in addition, there has been, wherever possible, a growing move ment in the direction of substituting female for male labour. The net result is that at the present sims there is very little unemployment except in a few luxury trades, while in a number of industries, notably coal mining, engineer ing shipbuilding, agriculture and trans- port, the demand for labour greatly exceeds the supply.

WAR NEWS,
GENERAL JOFFRE'S BET.
HIS HANDS IN HIS POCKETS FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES,
An amusing anecdote concerning a bet between an English General and General Joffre appears in the Paris dub,
The French Commander-in-Chief : was discussing details of great importance with the British General Staff, when the English General in question noticed, that General Joffre bad his hands in his pockets. The French are proverbially addicted to gesturing, and, what is more, General Joffre comes from the south of France where the gesture is even more freely used that in the north.
Will you take a bet with me Gene Joffre asked the English officer. What about was, the reply "That you won't keep your Hands in your pockets for fifteen minutes, ex- plained the Englishman.

In the twelve months. ended July 31st last we imported goods to the value of £788 millions, the exports of British and Irish produos and mana- factures amounting to £349 millions and the re-exports to £90 millions. If we take into account the enormous outputing among the Huns during the war. of munitions of war and equipment these figures are little short of marvellous. There is, however, one point about the trade figures which calls for comment, and that is, the disproportion between our imports and exports. In a normal year the excess of imports over exports is something like £140 millions, which is accounted for by what are known na “invisible exports," that is to say, interest on investments abroad, freights, In the year since the outbreak of war the excess was £330 millions which will have to be largely paid for in gold. It is obvious, therefore, that from the economic point of view it is important. nce only to restrict imports as far as It is bis cleverness, however, which possible but to use every effort to increase mainly arouses the animosity of his fel- our exports.
