There are abundant facilities for
carrying freight safely, reasonably and
promptly, if the same care and wis
dom are used in addressing and pack
ing shipments for South America as
for domestic trade in the United
States.
THE commercial instinct for mer-
chandising is not very highly devel-
oped in South America, but the people
elsewhere, and are reached in much
the same manner, except that they
are more sentimental and like to be
made love to. The love making they
appreciate most is display of conf
dence in them manifested by loaning
them money for the purpose of build
ing up and developing the republic
they live under and love.
South Americans recognize that
public and private debts figure con
spicuously in the older and more sue
cessful countries, and they see no rea
son why the per capita public debt
of their nation and the cities they
live in should not equal that Of Eng

Chicago 7. Lenfestey has re-
turned to Chicago from his tour of the
principal states OF South America
with numberless vivid stories OF his
experiences, as shown by his com
ments made TO the London correspond
ent of The Daily News and reiterated
here. He was deeply impressed by
the mental alertness and the proud
spirit of the peoples among whom
he travelled 1T Is high time said
MIR. Lenfestey, that we people in the
north disabused our minds OF the
foolish notion that we can treat South
Americans with indifferent courtesy
and have their friendship They are
wonderfully responsive to respectful
and cordial treatment ! hope the
American people will grasp this fact
quickly, and / hope that in future no
citizen of the United States, distin-
guished or undlstinguished, will come
TO Central or South America and be-
have otherwise than he would behave
il he were travelling among the most
civilized and powerful people OF the
world.
Enough on that point. England has

Paris, Dec. f0--Thc official re-
ports to-day of operations in
Flanders and along the entire bat
tie line in France arc regarded a.
the most encouraging received
within week. There Is every
a indication that The Allies are con-
tinuing their successful offensive,
and there ,s also n partial explain
alton OF why the progress has not
been more rapid.
The advances reported since General
Joffre put into execution his forward
campaign have been small, although
steady. The reason for this Is n.w
known TO be that the commanders ot
the allied forces preferred to gain a
small amount OF ground which they
could hold. rather than To make bril-
liant dashes into territory from which
they might be obliged to retire within
shors time.
The official communicate issued at
1880 O'Clock tonight, which usually
deals only with the most important
movements, if any. reported that the
situation during the day had been
without G,ange. 1t also told of an at
tack by French aviators on the town
OF F'reihurg in Breisgau, where thsre
are number of aviation sheds.
Make Gradual Advance

the allies have progressed a short
distance they have stopped and con-
structed Notifications which rendered
their possession OF the region beyond
