FEAR RCOMMERC|AL WAR
AGAINST. US. MAY START
State Department Officials
Disturbed Over Position
of Argentina.

State Department officials are dis
turbed over what they fear may result
in a commercial war between Argentina
and the United States. They have had
reports to the effect that Argentina is
likely to retaliate against the United
States for what it believes is an unfair
commercial advantage taken of it by this
country.
Brazil grants to the United States a
special differential on imports of wheat
flour, which allows this country to COM
pete successfully with Argentina in that
field.
The State Department has been inform
ed that this is being looked on as un-
friendly, and that there is a scarcely
suppressed sentiment in the Argentine
congress. which, it is said. may break
out any time, in favor of retaliatory ac-
ton.
May Quit Union.
Further the department has been in
formed that Argentina may withdraw W
from the Pan-American Union at the
time of the next Pan-American conference
unless conditions change.
This. 1t was said. probably would deal
the cause OF Pan-America niSm a blow
from which it would require many years
Tor 1t to recover and which would do
away with much Of the friendly social
and commercial relations that have been
growing for the past twenty-four years.
when the Pan-American idea was started
by James G. Blaine.
Argentina, it was further learned is
prep airing to establish in this city in con-
nection with its legation a commercial
propaganda bureau, similar to that which
Brazil has maintained in this country for
some years, and which has served as a
means of keeping the buyers and sellers
OF the two countries in close touch.
Officials Are Hopeful.
State Department officials express the
hope that the threatened commercial
rapture would be averted.
They declare that Argentina now sold
to this country $4,000, 600 worth of prod
ucts yearly, about half as much as the
United States sold there, and that every
effort should be made by both countries
to keep all the commerce they possess.

MAY TAKE SWAN ISLAND
FOR A C0AL|NC STATION
Near Entrance to Panama
Canal and U. S. Has Long
Shown Interest in 1t.

Swan Island, a small dot on the map of
the Caribbean sea, about 100 miles north
Of Honduras, may be taken over by the
United States for possible use as a coal
ing station. 1t is almost due north from
the Atlantic entrance to the Panama
canal. and because of its proximity to
the great waterway and the further fact
that it lies in the track of navigation
between the United States and Central
America, is regarded as a desirable ac-
QUESTION. The island is about five miles
wide at its broadest stretch and has forty
miles of coast line.
That the United States has taken re-
newed interest in the island is evidenced
by the fact that the U. s. S. Hannibal is
now there making an investigation of it's
resources and availability for commercial
or other uses. The vessel arrived there
early this week, anc beyond reporting
her arrival. has not been heard from. She
was sent from the naval station at Guam
tanamo. and probably will return there
before making any report Of the result of
her mission.
Capt. Alonzo Adams. a well known mar
iner of New England, who died from
pneumonia in Boston few days ago. is

land. of which he held undisputed pos
session for many years. He exercised
arbitrary control over the inha bitants
numbering about 100 i'm all, until about
year ago. when his health failed and he
returned to the United States.
Discovered Forty Years Ago.
According to the story. it was about
forty years ago when Capt Adams, then
owner and skipper of the coasting vessel
Polly Ann. while on a voyage to South
America. found an inviting anchorage off
Swan Island. at that time uncharted and
unclaimed. He made landing and found
the natives friendly and the place attrac-
tive Capt. Adams merely looked the
island over on that trip. but he sailed
back there and took possession with the
consent of the inhabitants. He built
house there, which was known locally as
the Palace and there raised a family,
consisting of two sons and two daughters,
all of whom. with his wife, are now
living in this country. He also erected
light house which proved a great boon
to navigators.
Swan Island became an unofficial port
of call to every skipper passing in sight
of Capt Adams flag signals.
Up to the time Of Capt. Adams depar-
ture from his island about a year ago.
he was the executive, legislative and
judicial branch of the only government
the island boasted of and stood godfather
to evehy child born on the island. He
was a popular ruler and his long admin
istration is said to have been highly

Not Opposing Progress.

Now. all I wish to say with respect
to this ambitious project is that We do
not wish to be put in the attitude of not
desiring to have every good that hu-
manity can be heir to, and if the pro-
gram that is to be proposed can be car
ried out in one or two or three terms, or
decades, we shall be glad to await its
coming. In other words, by the use of
the term progressive for other people
we do not wish to bt put in the attitude
Of opposing progress.

the improvements at st. Martins be-
sides the frescoeing. carpeting was the
installation of a handsome marble bap-
tismal font.
