And now. as to the legend with
which the Wisconsin student body
has surrounded Arlie.
1t is said that he is too tall for

NEUTRAL CONSULs IN BELGIUM
Germany Shows No Haste for the
Cancellation of Exequaturs.

There Is no disposition on the part
Of Germany to hurry its request for
the cancellation of exequaturs held by
neutral consuls in Belgium territory
under German military rule. according
to State Department officials. The Ger
man note was sent by mail to the
Washington government which will
consider the subject at length before
making a decision.
1t is generally understood that the
United States will avoid any action
which might be considered a political
recognition of the German possession
of Belgium. While officials did not
comment on the contents of the Ger
man communication. they intimated
that it contained no evidence of any
desire to place the American govern
ment or neutral nations in an embar-
RAISING situation.
1t was pointed out that situation
somewhat similar to that in Belgium
might be raised by Great Britain with
respect to neutral consuls in Egypt,
lately made British protectorate.
Neutral consuls hitherto have been
accredited to the Turkish government
as we'll as to the Egyptian authorities,
but unless Great Britain raises the
question there will be no change in
the status of American consuls.

U. S. LEADING IN FOREIGN
TRADE OF LATIN AMERICAS
Enjoys Larger Proportion Than Any
Other Country, According to
Pan-American Union.

The United States enjoys a larger
proportion of the foreign trade OF the
Latin American republics than any
other country in the world, declares the
Pan-American Union, in an announce
ment just made public. The share Of the
United States is said to be $S03,465,S ,S45
during the year 1913, or more than
three times that of France. nearly dou-
BILE that Of Germany and 25 per cent
ter than that of the United King
dom of Great Britain.
The standing of the United States as
the leading country in Central Ameri-
can trade, it is declared, is due to Its
commanding position in the ten nearby
republics, while in South America it is
far behind the United Kingdom in both
imports and exports and behind Ger
many in the imports.
Until 1913 the lead Of the United
States in the foreign trade Of Latin
America was due to its share of Latin
American exports, England leading in
the volume of imports. In 1913. for the
first time, the United States took the
lead in imports, the value of its ship
ments to the twenty countries being
$325,S37,345, as against $322,228.073 for
England and $217,976,202 for Germany.
Notwithstanding the efforts put for
ward by the British manufacturers dur
ing the year coming to a close, and
particularly since the beginning of the
war, it is the opinion of experts of the
Pan-American Union that it can be
predicted with reasonable confidence
that the lead in the import trade &C
ouired in 1913 by the United States will
not be lost.

Whether or not teachers should be

ing the plan decided upon by the New

inclined to give the matter considera-
tion until 1t has been formally placed
