The Channel port lights at Calais and Dunkirk and the light of the Gap Gris Xez were relighted lust November for the first time since war broke out. Thousands of people on the Kent coast cheered these evidences of peace. Since August, 1914, the Empire and our Allies have received from India the vast quantity of 2,500,000 tons of nils and oilseeds, notably linseed, groundnuts, rape, sesamum, copra, castor, and cotton, to a total value of £51,000,000.
