SOUTH AMERICAN ORDERS
POUR IN: PLAN COMPANIES
Capitalists Here Arranging to Handle New Foreign
Trade-Coal Must Be Shipped at Once,
Else Railroads Must Shut Down.

Red on with England. France. Germany
and other European countries. The South
Americans want TO trade with the United
states and II is apparent from the hun
dreds or visits that have been made by
Americans to this Office for Information
that exporters. merchants and manGfao-
turcrs are eager to do business now IA
tho Southern Hemisphere.
The United States never had, and will
not get again. such a splendid chance
TO build UP A trade with South America
We have had not more than 10 per cent
OF the South American trade. Now we
have chance TO get nearly all Of IT..
and after the war the United States
should retain permanently at least ~
per cent OF the normal trade. II all rests
with Americans to ofrer goods at reason
able prices and on reasona Bile terms to
retain highly profitable commerce with
Latin America"
II have been trying hard for three
years" said Mr.. Sorzsno, ito interest
American manufacturers end exporters In
the opportunities for trade in South
America. Most manufacturers have said
to me that they had big enough market
here or In Europe. Accordingly, they
made no effort to get acquainted with
merchants In South America and did
nothing tn foster trade there. To get a
start requires several months. Now they
are rushing TO this office seeking
Information about conditions In South
America
Accordingly, the first thing for Ameri-
cans IL TO establish agencies n. different
countries that II. have some correspond
ent who will take orders for their goods.
Here. again. Is another difficulty. The
South American does not know American
goods. For instance. lie knows Cardiff
I coal. but he does not know Pocahortas
coal or any other American brands. The
nrst thing for American manufactures
to DO Is to become acquainted with the
needs OF South America

FOREIGNERS EXCEL
IN CIRCUS STUNTS
Training From Childhood Gives
Practice Which American
Performers Cannot Get.

Why do the big circuses employ so
many foreigners Is there prejudice
against American talent Or do circus
managers think there is extra attrac-
ton in foreign names? These are ques-
tions which leap to the fore In the pa
triotic mind when perusing the hum
dreds of names on the roll OF the Bar
num-Bailey circus, which will exh bit
her on Monday and Tuesday, May 4
and 8.
1t is not because of prejudice. tina. for
eigners make VI. for the most part, the
circuses of today. say the managers.
Nor is It that foreign names are thought
more attractive. 1t rs because the pest
performers naturally come from Eu-
rope.
IL must be remembered that in Europe
the circus is not only the most popular,
but the Oldest Of amusement institu-
tions. The law OF primoSeniture OBJ
tains in most European countries, anu
whatever the father is the oldest son,
as a rule must be. and ths remaining
members of the family generally are.
so that the circus performers OF Eu-
Iop., usually have generations of circus
ancestry.
The circus man in Europe has no am:
bitjor as scholar. as commercial
man. or as an Industrial mamie knows
and thinks only of the circus profession.
His child. instead of being placed In
school and kept there throughout his
childhood and youth, is put into train

ing as circus performer. and this
training is thorough, and complete and
becomes the one object Of his life.
There Is only one polite form of educa-
ton that the circus performer knows,
and that Is as an artistic performer. and
he achieves that quality. which natur-
ally improves with the years of practice
and performance.
Here In America. il one be of the cir

sae In some other form of gaining their

that the American performer. save in
exceptional cases. rarely succeeds be-
yond mediocrity.
The patriotic American may think that
an American child may learn more
rapidly and acquire skill and artistic

less intelligent European circus child.
put practice makes perfect in circus
work, and the European child gets the
practice that the American child does
not get and the Inevitable result must
and does follow that the European
child makes the better performer.

The statement made to the interviewer
is. in part, as follows:
Mr.. Thompson seems particularly
anxious to let the world know that I
am addicted to drugs and am heavy
drinker. 1t is untrue that I use drugs.
1 don't deny that 1 take a drink oc-
casionally. but that's no crime. for I
never drink to excess. At Mondays

that 1 drank eight gin rickeys in a
roadhouse. never tasted a gin rickey

But does anyone ever drink to ex-
cess? Allegations of drunkenness clut-
ter the records in criminal and civil
cases and in divorce trials. Persons
charged with drinking to excess
ususa1ly admit the habit. but deny the
degree of indulgence. Witnesses often
testify that someone was drinking" or
had been drinking or seemed to have
been drinking Persons against whom
allegations of drunkenness are lodged
say that they are not averse to taking
a drink. or sundry drinks. but as for
getting drunk, or. less vulgarly, getting
under the influence of intoxicants.

who moves in best society. at times

testifies that she is quite used to that
many drinks, or to that amount Of
champagne. as the case may be. And

II scout. \ l. Hornuh
The nFst case Of any considerable
moment brought to tho attention OF
Judge 1ee yesterday was that of
Charles, Whitney as guardian Of Enoch
Austin. wherein the guardian seeks the
arnullment Of the marriage OF his
ward, to have declared null and void
the adoption by hts ward of child and
also to have certain transfer of lana
by Austin to be made of no import.
The case is one wherein young widow
married an old man possessed Of con-
siderable property anG had him adopt
her child by former marriage as his
own. The man Austin is declared to
be unable mentally TO take care OF his
property and it is alleged was in this
condition at the time of the marriage.
