FOREIGN . TRADE RECORD
Transactions of U. S. for the
Year Amount to More Than
$4,OOO,O 100000.

A foreign trade unparalleled in the
history of the country is the record of
the United States for the year 1912, &C
cording to figures just made public by the
Department of Commerce and Labor. It's
transactions will amount in value to more
than $4,000. 100000. The highest former
record was approximately $3.50. OOO, 900,
in 1911. The. three-bilhon mark was
passed in 1906, and the two-billion mark
in 1899.
For twelve months ending with October
the actual value Of imports and exports
was $4.O15, 4S2,B1. For ten months of
the present year it was approximately
for exports, and conservative estimates
for the year, based on these figures, make
it more than probable that the value of
both exports and imports for the full
year will approximate 81. 1O0.OOO.0 600.
Doubled Since 1901.
Imports have practically doubled in
value since 1901 and exports have practi-
cally doubled since 1904 The exports OF
domestic products. which had never
touched the two-billion mark until 1911
will in 1912 approximate two and a
quarter DiHloH uOiIdTS, White tIie eXpOTts
or foreign merchandise during the year
will probably fall slightly below the high
record of $37, 80, 600 in 1910.
One of the striking features of the
rapidly enlarging import trade is the in
crease in importations of non-dutiable
merchandise. In 1902 it was but 500.
! 100000 and in 1912 it seems likely to ap.
proXimate s975,OOO,OOO.
This increase in foreign trade. while
distributed among all the grand divisions
| except Africa, is especially apparent In
| the trade with neighbOrs on the American
continent. The Atlantic ports get the
| lions share of the increase in imports
| but the northern border and Pacific coast
ports show the largest percentages Of
gains in exports.

The Meeting at Armageddon.

The END of time was predicted to be
about to appear by Elder j. L. McEl-
benny. speaking last night at Memorial
Adventist Church. He declared that Tur-
key is the one obstacle which stands in
the way of the fulfillment of prophecy
of the Bible that all nations shall gather
at Armageddon just before the end.
Quoting from the eighth verse OF the
third chapter of Zephaniah, he declared
that God said therein that he would
gather together the nations of the earth
in the valley of Jehoshaphat, which. he
said. lies between Jerusalem and Arma-
geddOn.
He sad that when Christian nations
shall drive Turkey from the Holy Land
the scenes of the Crusades will be repeat
ed and trouble the like of which the world
has never seen will follow. 1.-THE solu-
ton of the Turkish question:" he added.
when the armies Of ChristendOm shall
be gathered at Armageddon, will mark
the end of human history"

tional Rivers and HarbOrs Con-
gress Meets Here December 4.

The ninth annual. convention of the
National Rivers and Harb0s Congress
which meets in this city December tc
continue in session three days. gives
abundant promise Of being the mos,
largely attended convention this assocta-
ton has had since its reorganization a
decade ago.
President Taft win deliver the opening
address and is expected to still further
emphasize his position looking to broad
policy by the national government in
the treatment Of the waterways OF the
country, to the end. that all streams sus-
cepdble OF navigation may be made
navigable.
The result Of the recent election, while
ii does not affect the advancement of
sentiment for waterways improvement In
harmony with the doctrines of the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress, has.
In number of instances, changed the
personnel of the committees of both
houses having 10 deal with river and
harbor appropriations.
The Senate Committee on Commerce,
which consists OF seventeen members,
lost two-Messrs. Bourne. of Oregon, Re-
publican, and Percy, of Mississippi. Dem
ocrat-while the House Committee on
Rivers and Harbors, consisting Of twenty
one members, lost eight-three Demo-
Gratis, Messrs. 'Ransdell, of Louisiana: Ell
lerbe. of South Carolina, and Boehne
OF Indiana; Lawrence. Of Massachusetts,;
davidson, Of Wisconsin: Young, of Mich
igan; Rodenberg. of Illinois, and Ken
nedy, Of Iowa, Republicans.
The hold-over Senators on the Com
merce Committee are Nelson of Mime
sofa, Perkins of California. Smith Of Mich
tgan, Burton Of Ohio. BuFnham Of New
Hampshire. Crawford of South Dakota,
and Oliver of Pennsylvania, Republicans;
Martin of Virginia. Simmons of North
Carolina Newlands OF Nevada, Bankhead

Reed Of Missouri, Democrats.
Now that the Democrats are practically
assured Of control of the Senate, Mr..
Nelson will be retired from the cAIir-
manship of the Commerce Committee for
a Democrat. the membership Of the COM
mittee being increased by the addition of
four to make up the ten. the apportioI.-
ment accorded to the majority party.
As the election did not change the party
complexion Of the House. the apportion-
ment of the Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee will remain the same, with Mr..
Sparkman, of Florida, as chairman.
