Expansion of Italian Trade With the
Philippines.

Consul Dunning at Milan calls the atten-
ton of American exporters to a remarkably
rapid expansion of Italian trade with the
Philippines. The amount of~this trade is
not so important as is the fact that it has
all developed since 1908 and consists entire
ly of material that is manufactured in the
United States and could be sold to the
islands from this country even better than
from Europe
Consul Dunning says that the trade has
grown from $3.50 when the first connec-
tons We're made with Manila to over
$4,000 last year. The articles include
writing paper, cheap umbrellas, pottery,
hemp, lamps, condensed milk and cream,
wearing apparel and soap, preserves and
medicines The trade has been built up
simply by the exporting houses having rep
resentatives on the spot and going after
the trade with view to giving the Philip
pine buyers what they want in the way
they want it. They have extended reason
ably long credits and in other ways have
met the wishes of the importers as it not
usually done by firms in the United States.
But the consul says the trade is evidently
there if the American manufacturers want
it and are willing to take the same amount
of trouble to get it as the Italian exporters

Charles F. Warren delivered d lecture on
Porto Rico, 1t being the Inauguration of a
series of talks to be held by the institute
during Lent
Mr.. Warren carried his audience, In spirit.
around the island of Porto Rico. Views
were shown of the military road built by
the Spaniards from San Juan to Ponce. In
contrast pictures of roads built since Amer
lean occupation were thrown upon the
screen The educational advance among
the people was touched upon, and in con-
trast to the city school house, with its COM
modious quarters. was shown the humble
country shack in which the number or
pupils Is so large that only one-half can be
seated and then only while the other half
stands up to recite. The anemia preva-
lent among the people was referred TO and
praise was given by the lecturer to Drs.
Ashford. King and SutierreZ, the physicians

japanese Famine Grows Worse.

The New York state branch of the Amer
lean National Red Cross has issued a state
ment as TO famine conditions in Japan.
THE famine il Japan. the statement saws
which has Ecen considered for some time
moderately serious, is now known as the
result of reliable private advices received
by the New York State Red Cross to be
one of the most terrible starvation emer-
gencies of modern times. The failure of
the rice crop, which at one time was be-
lieved 10 be limited to certain classes only.
in the northern provinces, has been forced
to be general in those parts of Japan, and
conservative estimates place the number of
starving Japanese at from 10000 to 1890
900 persons. For these, owing to extended
rains last summer, which have ruined the
rice and other food crops, there is abso-
lutely no relief in sight until next October,
when a new harvest will be available. AS
if this were not bad enough, the present
winter has been one of the most severe in
Japan in many years. The sum of &c.,
0GG,0G0 will be required to save the Japa-
nese country people. This is estimated by
allowing for a cost of 10 cents per person
per day.

OPPORTUNITY FOR EXPORTERS.
Permanent International Exposition
Established at Amsterdam.

The often-b preached question of a perma-
nent exposition for the sale of goods in
Europe has come to a head according 10
the Department of Commerce and Labor,
by the founding in Amsterdam of such an
exhibit The company handling the enter
prise is well backed ana now has a repre-
sentative Baron w. Van Ittersum, in this
country bidding for exhibits.
The exposition is to be international In
character. American goods will form only
a part of the exhibit Manufacturers can
change their exhibits often as they like,
but the display viii be maintained merely
as an object illustrated catalogue for the
benefit OF buyers on the other SIDE. None
OF the goods in the exposition will he sold,
but will merely be samples of what the
buyers can obtain through the regular
agents of the firms. The company will also
print a fortnighty journal, which Will be
circulated gratis through the Netherlands
by agents of the exposition. Further infor-
nation as TO the project can he obtained
from and applications for space can be
made to Mr.. r. Schroeder. manager Of the
company at Amsterdam.
The suggestion for q permanent trade
exhibit In Europe has been frequently
made and the present enterprise offers a
chance for American exporters to test The
effectiveness of the plan.

TREATMENT OF RAMIE.
Can Be Made to Furnish a Fiber as
Good as That of Flax.

The old question of using rame as
substitute for flax has been revived, and
Consul McCunn writes from Dunfermline to
the Department of Commerce and Labor
that the representative of big Glasgow
firm has brought TO the notice of Scotch
manufacturers the fact that machinery has
been perfected by which ramie can be
treated so as to furnish "a fiber with all the
good qualities of flax and can be put on
the market at a price between flax and
jute There is considerable technical in
formation conveyed in the report but the
main fact is that the consul thinks the
subject of a place for ramie in the textile
world which has been mooted for twenty
years past, has at length been solved.

negro women were shot in a race clash
near Alden Bridge, Bossier parish. twenty
miles north of Shreveport. La. yesterday.
Smith was shot in the head, and his wounds
will result fatally. One of the women is
seriously hurt. The trouble was caused by
threats made to kill Mrs. T. G. Pease, wife
of a planter of Bossier parish. When her
husband was informed he organized posse
and attempted to take the negro, who had
taken refuge in cabin with other ne
groes. The posse was fired on as they

Alliance With Brazil.

1t is the Presidents intention in view of
the close relations between the republic of
Brazil and the United States, to arrange an
informal--but none the less strong-alliance
with Brazil, and to relegate to her the pol
Icy OF the Monroe doctrine in South Amer
lea.
Although it has often been alleged that
BrazH acknowledges the doctrine under
compuislon, 1t can be stated that Brazil on
the contrary, welcomes it, as It serves to
MAINTAIN peace and order in southern lati-
tudes. In fact, according to the utterance
of Brazilian official. that country would
be willing to formulate a Monroe dictrine,
with the advice of the United States, and
thereby be the authorized guardian of the
child republics.
1t is to formulate suitable plans to that
effect that Mr.. Root goes to Rio Jaisero,
and will make short stops at other leading
cities of South America. While he will
maintain bearing of friendliness every
where he goes he will always be the Sec
rotary of State of the United States, and
as such, man whose word counts for
much, and whose action would be final He
will urge the united support of the Monroe
doctrine by all the nations of the world in
the meantime. and in July and August will
personally and officially carry out the Pres
ident's program for bringing all the coun-
tries of America into closer diplomatic rela-
tons and esta blishing a better understand
ing between them and the powers OF Eu-
rope.
To Increase Brazilian Navy.
Another significant step is Brazils prepa-
ration in placing an order for a number of
new battleships and cruisers, all of which
including the artillery and entire equipment,
will be bought in America and Europe. 1t
transpireS that German firms sent repre-
sentatIyes to Brazil to obtain share OF
these orders and they had excellent pros
rIects of success until the Panther Incl
dent in which officers and men of the
German cruiser sent ashore at 1tajahy, to
look for a deserter became involved in a
DISPUTE with the Brazilian authorities.
The people of Brazil were greatly offend
ed at the forceful way the Germans carried
the deserter on board the Panther. Although
ample apologies have been offered. Brazil
will not place any orders IN Germany, ana
according to indca tons, Great Britain ana
this country will receive them.
This increase in Brazifs navy Is signlh-
can't. Her coast is extensive, If not very
great and a policing fiotilla, as well as a
Nonroan patrol is needed. With four or
six additional vessels, Brazil would be well
uualified TO undertake the South American
Guardianship, and leave President Roose-
Welt to grow the olive branch of the big
stick. ,.,
II will require a high order of diplomacy
in undertaking this task, il. which there
must be tact and intelligence, as well as
sincerity and frankness. Our relations with
Brazil being of the most cordial sort, we
should turn to Argentine and Chile, with
whom we should be on, as friendly terms
as we are with France. With Venezuela
and colombia our relations, according TO
the President, should be of a more infuen-
tial nature.

THE MAINTENANCE OF ORDER
Task to Be Entrusted to the Rio

Argentina and Chile.

Secretary Roots motive for participating
in the third pan-American congress, which
will meet next Summer at Rio Janeiro, is
not ostensibly to attend and take proinf-
nent part in the gathering. On the highest
authority 1t was learned that Mr.. Root. In
taking this important step, which will be a
precedent in the annals of the chief cabinet
officers, is to call upon the Brazilian gov
eminent informally, and to arrange an en-
tente cordiale with that country. In which
the Monroe doctrine Is the base.
' A good reason in support of the above
statement is that of the delegates Of the
countries so far chosen, while they are men
of conservative ideals and men of the high
est standing. none has an official rank equal
to that of Secretary Root. Naturally, the
United States would not dispense with the
services of the Presidents right hand so to
speak, unless it We're for the most impor-
reasons
