LONDON, Nov. 3.-England is being in
vaded by the United States.
1t is a commercial campaign and this
country is just now enjoying q number of
new and notable illustrations Of the increas-
ing power Of America to cause such an up
heaval among the ancient trade traditions
Of Great Britain as the average Englishman
has never dreamed possible. From ignoring
the United States In the commercial and
financial field, the United Kingdom has I'M
happily come to realize, in some respects,
the steadily increasing successes Of Ameri-
can competitors, who at nearly every turn
are showing what down to-date methods and
western ingenuity can do when s%quarely
pitted against the antiquated fashions so
long prevailing here. 1t is estimated that
500, 900, 900 in good English gold goes an
nually to America to the loss of Great
Britain. So severe have been the inroads
upon home made goods In many departments

During the last few years the leading
American life insurance companies have
gained such a hold In this country as to seri-
ously threaten the prosperity of the old-time
English assurance corporations. Soliciting

The Capital Of the Fnlklnnds.
But let us take a look at Port Stanley, the
capital Of these islands. 1t has only 700
citizens, including the governor and all his
officials, but 1t has more thrift and business
than many towns Of five times its size. 1t
is perhaps the richest capital Of the world
for every one OF its Inhabitants has all he
can eat, and TO spare. Port Stanley is sit
uated on Stanley harbor Just beyond Cape
Pembroke, at the eastern end Of East Falk-
land. Its harbor is a safe land locked bay,
about a half mile wide and five miles long,
with an entrance so narrow that a large
ship could hardly turn about in 1t. Upon
the south side Of the harbor, running up q
gently sloping hill are a hundred or so neat
one and two-story cottages. They are made
of wood or stone with ridge roofs OF cor
rugated iron. This is Port Stanley. AS you
look at 1t from the steamer 1t makes you
think Of a German village, and as you come
closer to it you find that every little house
has its front yard and garden, and that the
front doors Of even the poorest Of the cot
tages have vestibules. This is to shield the
visitors and the families from the cold wind.
In nearly every window you see potted
plants and flowers. Such things will not
grow out of doors, and I venture that there
Is not a town of this size in the world which
has so many green houses and conserva-
tories.

travelling SchOOlmasters.
You would think the children brought up
under such conditions would be wild and
uneducated. They are not. They are as in
telligent and well-mannered children as you
would find In any country community. They
have a peculiar institution In the Falklands
known as the travelling schoolmaster. He is
paid by the government, receiving about $500
a year, to 90 from one shepherd FAMILY to
another and teach the children. The time
allotted to each family is a fortnight, and If
three families can bring their children to-
gether they thus get six weeks OF school.
The schoolmaster lives two weeks with each
family and at the end Of the time. having
laid out a course OF home study for the
children. is sent on horseback by the shep-
herd to the next family, which may be liv-
ing twenty miles away. In the course OF
time he gets back to his old pupils. examines
them In what they have gone over with their
parents and sisters, and then takes them as
much further on the road to learning as his
two weeks stay will permit. The bishop
and parson of Port Stanley, who are also
maid by the government, make a tour Of the
island once or twice a year to examine the
children Of each family, not only on their
catechism, but on their secular studies. Dur
-
ing a recent tour of the islands the governor,
Sir Grey Wilson. did the same. He tells
me he was much surprised at the advance
ment shown by these little Scotch children
away down here on the lonely moors OF the
Falklands. These children are, however,
from the best stock of the highlands OF
Scotland. Their ancestors are among the
thriftiest people of the world. Indeed, many
of the shepherds save money and not a few
have taken their savings to Patagonia and
nave there become sheep farmers them
selves. There is today not a beggar in the
Falkland islands.
Still. the chances for the poor man here
are not great. All OF the good lands are
now taken up and nothing is for sale or
rent. Many OF the lands are held under
twenty-one-year leases from the English
government. The lands are leased In blocks
Of 5000 acres at the rate Of 500 a year. 1t
will be years before such leases will run
out. and the value Of the land is now 30
v,ell known that the renewal Of the leases
will be at such prices as to leave little
profit to the outsider. There is q very linn
