Washington.-A total foreign trade
Of $1,000. 100000, of which S4.5OO,OOO,
600 represents American goods sold in
the worlds markets, will be the rec.
ord OF the United States since the out
break Of the European war to January
], 1916, period of II months. This
record stands alone in the history of
the worlds commerce. Not even Eng
land, with her peerless merchant
marine, which carries British manu-.
factured products into the marts of the
world, can approach it. The record
establishes the United States as the
great supply house of the world.
The total value of merchandise ex-
ported from the United States during
the 16 months, ended with November
80. is $4,11O,91O,16O. Reports to the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce by collectors Of customs, hand
ling SO per cent of the exports, indi-
cate another new monthly record will
be established by December with ex-
ports estimated at $4O0,0OO,0O0 The
November exports were 1891, 1,144,527.

the exports for the II months viii be

The value OF imports for the 16
months ended with November 30 was

cember, based on reports from two
weeks collections. is s174,OO0OOO. The
November imports were s164,S19,169.
Trade Balance ,437,625, ,3os.
The balance of trade in favor Of the
United States since the war began
will be nearly s2,5OO,OOO,0O0. The
enormous size Of the excess Of Ameri-
can exports over imports can hardly
be grasped. This excess represents
one-half OF the value of the estimated
holdings of American securities by
foreign investors. To state the condi-
ton in another form, if the war con-
tinues another II months and Europe
continues to buy Of the United States
at its present rate, the excess Of
American sales over purchases abroad
will be large enough to absorb all
American securities held abroad. The
value Of American stocks and bonds
held in Europe is estimated at s5OOO,-
OOO. 1000. The railroads, municipalities
and various industrial enterprises and
big mines send to Europe every year
approximately sSOO,OOO,OOO TO pay in
terest on these holdings. This $780,
100000 has been used by Europe dur
ing past normal times to pay for the
vast food supplies which she buys in
the United States.

Demands Renewed BY U. S.

Washington. - President Wilson's
reply to the Austrian note on the sink
ing of the Ancona was made public.
In II the United States serves notice
on Austria that this Government will
not discuss the circumstances OF the
sinking of the Ancona or the legality
OF the submarine attack; that 1t will
not furnish Austria with bill Of par
ticulars, and that It feels obliged to
renew the demands made upon Aus
tria in its first note.
To these items in the note the
United States adds another plain init
nation that a refusal to yield on the
part of Austria will mean the break
ing off of diplomatic relations.
The demands which the United
States again makes upon Austria are;
l. Denunclation OF the sinking Of
the Ancona.
@ Punishment Of the submarine
commander responsible.
3. Reparation by the payment Of a
money indemnity.
Means "YieId Or a Break"
On the note Just made public de-
pends whether Austria shall continue
TO have diplomatic relations with the
United States. The note has been de-
livered to the Foreign Office in Vienna,
but as yet no definite indication has
reached Washington as to whether or
not Austria will yield.
While the note given out is not an
ultimatum in the true sense Of the
word, because It imposes no time limit,
It clearly conveys an impression Of
inality which is expected to prevent
any further attempt at discussion un-
less Austria should see fit to repudiate
the statement Of her Admiralty, upon
which the entire case Of the United
States is based.
Regard For Austrla's Pride.
Taken as a whole, this Govern
ments second note TO Austria is
milder than the first. 1t is free from
such expressions as "barbarous,"
"abhorrent," "wanton slaughter" and
Outrage" which characterized the
first communication and which were
largely responsible for the deep feel
ing that was aroused in Austria and
Hungary.
The United States in the second
note, while yielding not an iota as re-
CARDS its demands and the principles
involved, has obviously made an eff
fort to soften the tone of its com
munication.
This Is regarded by the Presidents
advisers as wise move. The State
Department has been informed that
the sharp, harsh character Of the first
note made 1t impossible for Austria
to yield without deep humiliation. The
officials Of the State Department saw,
too. that a reiteration of the offensive
words used in the first note would not
only not add to the strength of the
United States position but would be
certain further to inhame the Aus.
trian people.

High links In Dixie Land" by
the Seattle Athletic club. ut the
Moore theatre Thursday night, was
terribly tough on the boys who
haven't the ability 10 change their
minds more than once a week.
The doggone show was made up
entirely OF first one thing and then
another. You'd get all worked up
over the beautiful sentiment OF a
song well sung. The tears would
be in your eyes. lump In your
throat.
And then some magician In the
wings would wave wand, and a
lot OF darkies would prance out
and make fun OF you until you'd
get the cramps laughing. only to
swallow Your mirth and alt silent
with wonder at the beauty OF
"Rigoletto." or some other melody

The audience packed the big
theatre. and that audience never
worked 40 hard In it's life, laughing
and weeping. The show was dis
tinctiy. particularly and notably M
imOense success.
