are coming from London at present
than from any other country or city.
Reports from Ohio, Wisconsin and
Michigan indicate that while there
was considerable pessimism during the
Fall regarding the outlook for future
business the prospect is improving
and changes for the better are already
to be noted. In some sections the i'm
provement has been marked during
the present month, which would indi-
cate direct result of the swinging
back to sanity in the conduct of ma
tional affairs.
Experts of the bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce at Washing
ton are at work on reports obtained
from every South American country
with view to suggesting to American
manufacturers feasible way of win
ming the enormous trade with those
countries which Germany was forced
to abandon at the outbreak of the
European war. Preliminary reports
show the situation to be greatly COM
plicated. With the exception of Argen-
tina every country is financially en-
barrassed to a greater or less extent.
They are loaded with huge crops and
mineral products usually absorbed by
European manufacturers. now out of
reach.
As was indicated in a recent ad-
dress before our Chamber Of Com
merce by the head of the Baldwin
Locomotive Works, the first step
which America must take to secure
South American trade is one in the
direction of financing those countries
which have been depending heretofore
upon London. Loans made by this
country would mean reciprocal trade
arrangements that would grow enor-
mously in volume from year to year.
However, the secretary of the
Chamber Of Commerce of the United
States takes a somewhat different
view. He says there were many ar
ticles of absolute necessity formerly
shipped into South America from Ger
many and which now must be OBJ
tanned in the United States. Trained
statesmen, in his opinion, who know
the language and customs of those
countries, should have little trouble in
obtaining these orders and the urgency
of the case makes 1t certain ways of
financing them will be found.
These problems will be discussed at
the trade extension meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce of Harrisburg
next Tuesday and the fact that busi-
ness men all over the United States
are now considering ways and means
of getting into touch with South
America and other foreign countries
gives added interest to the conference
to be held here.
Uncle Sans increased prosperity
will depend in large measure upon his
ability to reach out into the markets
of the world and take over the bust
ness which has now been abandoned
by those countries warning with each
other.

Uncle Sans assumption of Germanys
diplomatic duties with the countries
with which she is at war is gratefully
acknowledged by Ernst Daenell, a Ger
man professor. To him it is a symbol
of the ties he feels bind the two nations
Americas chief duty in this critical
time is to maintain a strict neutrality
with malice toward none and charity
for all those at war.

The present fiscal year will end on De-

tribe were engaged In the long strug-
gle with the United States govern
ment, sometimes overstepping the
bounds OF open warfare, which only
ended with the migration OF the en-
tire tribe to what Is now Oklahoma,
then Indian territory. SeQuoyah,
engrossed In his educational projects,
took no active part In the dispute,
but II increased the suspicion OF the
tribe for everything pertaining to the
white man, and consequently for
Sequoyah's written language.
Little by little. however. Seqnoyah's
invention won its way. and he was
finally able TO found schools, In which
his method of writing was taught to
the children OF the entire tribe In
deed, In 1925. his language was so
thoroughly understood that most OF
the Bible was translated and printed
In Cherokee, and a Cherokee daily
newspaper, the Phoenix. was insti
tuted and became commercial success
The death of Sequoyan came in
dramatic fashion When over 10
years old, reports that an offshoot OF
the Cherokee tribe I'm the far west
beyond the Rockies, had been discov-
cred, came TO him. Sequoyah, old and
feeble though he was, determined to
go In search OF them, reunite them
With the tribe, and teach them his
method of writing and reading.
An expedition. the only organized
Indian missionary enterprise on rec
ord, was formed, and Sequoyah, ac-
companied by his son and a few,
chosen men, set out in 1S43 for the
far west. About a month later he

When the young chief (his mother
was the daughter or famous leader
OF the tribe. and with the Cherokees,
as all Indian tribes inheritance went
by the female line) was about 20,
however. while hunting one day he
sustained a fall which broke one OF
his legs. Indian surgery was not
adequate TO setting the broken bone
properly, and Sequoyah, when he re-
covered. found himself permanently
crippled. unable To take his part In
the hunt any more.
Tradition has II that the young
chief brooded over his misfortune,
trying TO drown his sorrows In fire
water. He was saved from becoming
drunkard, however. II is believed,
by the remonstrances OF his friend
George Lowrey, whose Indian name
history has not preserved. combined
with his own natural strength OF
character.
Barred from the active life which
he had hitherto followed. Sequoyah
became an artist. an expert In bead
work and the manufacture OF beau
tiful moccasins and ornaments
About this time also he married and
had several children. II is from a
daughter that Miss Edmonson claims
descent
From bead work Sequcyah took up
working In silver and other metals.
He became a blacksmith as well as
a silversmith. and through manufac-
turing agricultural implements, not
only for the Cherokees hut for the
white settlers who were pushing In
among them, gradually acquired what
was, for a Cherokee, a considerable
fortune.
Sequoyah possessed considerable
business shrewdness. When he found
that his tools commanded market
among his neighbors he persuaded
an English friend TO write his name,
or rather the name given him by the
English--George Guess-on paper for
him. Then Sequoyah carefully copied
the writing In metal and made a die,
with which. thenceforth. every tool
that came out OF his workshop was
stamped.
