mously in favor of this scheme. and It
was furthermore agreed that this rectih-
cation of the course of the Scheldt was
an absolute necessity owing to the con-
slant danger Of the present river bed be-
coming blocked by movable sandbanks.
This opinion has now become more general,
although at first 1t was fought tooth and

German Opposition to Antwerp.
The immediate necessity for prompt
action was very keenly felt as far back as
. 1897, when the city of Frankfort-on-the-
Main commenced a campaign of extreme
violence against Antwerp and in favor OF
Rotterdam. The Frankfort Chamber of
Commerce urged certain members of the
Reichstag to advocate the withdrawal OF
the proposed stipulation in the German
postal contracts with the North German
Lloyd company, that the steamers Of that
company should call at Antwerp and Rot
terdam, holding that the call at Rot
terdam was all-suficient There was no
doubt at the time that the Rhenish prov

favor of calling at Antwerp. The Reich
stag uphold the vote of it's committee.
So far, then, Antwerp has held its own.
But the government understands fully on
the least excuse for complaint its rival
will jump at the opportunity to proclaim
the superiority Of Rotterdam and that 1t
behooves it to see that the port Of Ant
werp's maritime facilities are and shall
remain of such grandeur and magnitude
as to defy all European competition.

AN EFFECTIVE KEY
TO AFRICAN TRADE

May Enter.

The native Africans are among the
most interesting people In the world,
says George W. Ellis. United States
Charge d'Affaires at Monrovia, Liberia.
in a recent report. land the varied and
natural wealth of their country Is un-
surpassed. The indications are that they
will for some time yet almost wholly
possess West Africa. They thrive along
the west coast in millions Although
armed like warriors. they are lovers OF
peace; they have their peculiar civiliza-
ton and they are rich. but this wealth
is In wives. bullocks and slaves captured
in intertribal wars.
"The native African secures the pro-
ducts of his country without much labor
or difficulty. When these products are
manufactured they command large
profits abroad The increasing consump-
ton in Europe of West African COM
modities is dependent upon the native
African 1t is he who secures the pias-
sava, ivory. caoutchouc, palm oil. palm
kernels. kola nuts. kafa seeds. hides. cas-
sava, ealabar beans, cocoa and ginger,
and IL Is he who performs the labor In
the steamship service of the coast and
in the trade and traffic and mines of the
interior.
THE African likes to trade. and sends
his products for miles from the interior
to the coast. 1t is easy to buy from

has been trading for centuries. His wants
and desires have been dictated by the
nature of his environment and the Gus
toms and laws of his social life. He
knows at sight what is best for him.
and the manufacturers of Europe have
made millions by studying his wants
When American manufacturers turn
their attention to West Africa they will
behold a most inviting commercial field.
The iron pots, brass kettles, tobacco,
steel bars, red caps. silks, cotton cloth,
gold and silver trinkets, cap and flint
guns and many other articles which are
called for by the African must be made
for him specially.
1.-THE Germans thus far have excelled
the English in making cloth for the At
rican, but 1t is my belief that the Ameri-
can manufacturers can and will excel the
Germans IL they ever investigate the
profits OF this West African trade Pat
terms of different articles, according TO
the wants of the natives. can be for
warded through the department when
ever they may be required. The United
States is surely especially fitted to en-
ter upon the conquest of this great mar
ket; the opportunity is now, and Liberia
Is the open door,.
