this South American trade but lost It
through neglect and misrcpresenta-
ton.
Once more the opportunity II open
to US for making none in Argentina.
It 10 up to us to improve this oppor-
tunity. The nrst step 10 to understand
the people-that we learn to trust
them. serve them and love them.
Until thirty or forty years ago the
population Of Argentina was almost
entirely OF Spanish stock Then as
the pampas were developed there anne
to be need Of laborers, some Of whom
came from Spain. but more from Italy.
The latter have come from all parts
Of their country. but those from the
north OF Italy take to farm work, while
those from the southcr ,rovinces stay
IN the towns. working about the rail-
roads and wharves.
AS In the States the best immigrants
are the natives of northern Italy, hard
working men who are honest and very
economical. Many Of them come out
for the harvesting weeks Of December,
January. February and March. return
ing home to reap their W harvest
In tho Italian summer and autumn.
which Is six months later.
Tho ranch work OF catching and
tanning wild cattle and horses and then
OF caring for the herds has developed
a type Of frontiersmen similar to the
Daniel Boones OF our early history and
the cowboys OF our Western plains.

depended upon TO handle the animals.
lie is an expert horseman. never dis
mounting from his animal except at
night. and then sleeping near It. These
also are said to be honest and sturdy
people.
The rural population consists Of two
classes. the rich landholders and the
laborers. There seems TO be no middle
class like our American farmers.
when the Argentine colonists came, a
century ago. they brought with them
the idea OF European feudal!sm, and
they took as much land as they
wanted, so that the country Is one OF
great states. the average holding ever
now being about Ave square miles,
The descendants OF these Spanish,
English and Irish now hold these
great estates.
There is no doubt that Argentina
has the hest Government OF any OF
the Latin American countries. Theo-
rctically 1t has one of the very best
Governments in the world. There are
several feature OF the Argentine Con-
siitutIon and methods which could be
adopted with great advantage by the
people Of the United States. This APP

teries and signal the range to the at
lacking guns. Naval officers here are
of the opinion hat the Allies could
have used their a~eroplanes in some Of
, the ways indicated above, for the loca-
ton and attack Of mines particularly.
In connection with the Use OF naval
forces against land works It is pointed
out that had Admiral Sampson had at
his disposal off Santiago the kind OF
air fleet which the navy's present plans
contemplate his problem would have
been greatly simpliied. The accom-
panytng picture. taken by American
navy aviators at Vera Cruz last year,
shows what air scouts could have dis
covered in an hour had there been
any present with the American fleet
Off the Cuban coast in 1898.
Besides locating the Spanish feet
It is believed that a large squadron
OF aircraft could. in flying over San
tiago harbor, have dropped bombs in
such numbers that some OF them
would have been ure { o strike one

present war. The aviation forces OF
the United States navy. arc now in
process Of development toward IN OBJ
~jecttve which in its completeness and
scope far surpasses anything yet
achieved by any Of tho forces at war.
Though the United States nayH. like
the army. Is notably deficient in the
material and personnel Of aviation,
there IL reason to believe that the
theory Of military aviation. particu-
larly in relation to naval operations. Is
being moro highly developed in this
country than in Europe.
The first objective Of the navy In
building UP an aviation corps which
shall be capable Of doing what Amer!-
can officers demand IL an ~aeroplane
which can operate with tho feet. The
second demand Is that thi1 aero
plane shall be capable OF taking COM
mand of the air, once It begins opera
tons. That is, the navy Is now try
ing to lead American aircraft manu-
facturers TO the construction OF an
aeroplane with so powerful an engine
as to permit of high speed and largo
radius OF action, so reliable as to make
long sust operations a probability
instead Of merely q possibility, and so
we'll AIMED that It can brush aside
enemy aircraft which may attempt 10
interfere with It's operations.
It is one OF the ~paradoxes OF the
development OF aviation that when the
~seDoplane first appeared in the world
Il vas instantly hailed as an instru-
ment which would revolutionize war
fare, yet not for years was 1t as
signed to its proper place in the art OF
war. The conflict in Europe has
demonstrated hat aircraft have a
military value much greater than was
suspected by military men generally,
yet it has also been proved that the
%aeroplsne must take its place as an
auxiliary arm aud must not be re-
garded az changing in any way the
basic rules or conditions of warfare.
The opposing companders in Europe
have found the air scout Of immense
value in detscting the movements OF
the enemy. Yhey have also found that
the net result OF the use OF aircraft
has been partly negative, in that their
relatively equal employment by both
sides has rendered impossible move
ments Of large bodies Of troops and
surprise attacks in force.
This, American Officers declare, is
the reat lessen Of the war in relation
to aircraft, p.ovinU that the aeroplane
is az most but an auxiliary which must
he used only in accord with the same
rrinGlpiO that govern the use OF
cavalry or oths- Hobile forces sent on,
in advance OF the main contend!ng
bodies. II proves, they declare. tina,
the full advantage OF aircraft will be
gained only by that commander who
has at his disposal an air force which

scout but which can also drlve from
the air the enemy's scout and pro
vent him from Obtaining the informa.

modern conditions supremacy in tn,

rather than as meSe messengers.

A NEW Respondent STAR.

AS ours, your flags wide folds.
Bestrewn with silvery stars,
Red blending with the white
In flash of dazzling bars,
And with the blue of the sky,
A beauty has unique,
Like the holiest Of all wells,
Prize Of Sainte-V eronique,
Which on the Christ's torn brow
Took print of his sweat and blood.
And so your nag, oh, danes,
Brought hither DER the food,
Has touched of France the face,
Bruised as was that of the Lord,
Yet noble and holy still
Beneath the Vandal's swordI
Under the star-strewn folds
A radiant love is she'd
Effulgence of your deeds,
Like glories of the dead!
And so it is we wish,
When the flag returns with you,
That a new respondent star
May shine in its stainless blue!

France turns her gaze with secret admiration
OF that resplendent flag, symbolic flower
The blossomed glory of your matchless nation!

Cried: "God and Liberty-earth's panacea!"

Aye, brothers, It's the one solution.

of his; for a misstep in the dark would
have meant death on the shelf below. The
logs that once he had put there to guard
against such accident still stood.
He leaned upon them, and stared down
ward. Yes, there was the little shelf that
always looked so lean and bare, on which
in spring the water fell with a musical
tinkle before it rushed onward, to plunge
over the edge of the sheer cliff of the
river far below.
A he stood there, remembering it ALL
and looking downward at the shelf, the
sun caught single CLINT, as the torn
water shot across the ledge, a single gleam
of yellow ray konrad Strengthened and
looked again. lllusive, evanescent, it was
not to be observed again. Swift as a
rapier's flash, it had come and gone,-
just stray flash of light when the little
stream took some odd and isolated turn.
Yet it seemed to beckon to the wanderer,
and invite him to seek again.
At the risk of his neck he leaned farther
out and studied the shelf as he had often
studied it before. 1t appeared the same
strip of barren slate, smooth and denuded.
Nothing but useless bedrock. Yet what
had caused that one flash of yellow light?
Perhaps there was single nugget down
there, single little piece of gold washed
over. from above. konrad remembered
most distinctly that there had been pay
up there to the very last inch of the
stream before it leaped off into space.
In those days of prosperity no man would
have risked his life for what might be
found down there, and certainly not for
a single piece Of gold; but now, when all
things were dark, and it seemed as if all
the unbound gold Of the earth had bur-
rowed itself too deeply to be found even
a small nugget was alluring.
HE went back up to the scattered, de-
serted cabins. finding here and there
such belongings as men had considered
worthless at the time of their departure,
or had left expecting to garner at some
future time, and collected pieces of rope

qu.ries the commission has been con-
Quoting under the Panama Canal act,

United to do 80 by he commission, il
was stated to-day that the control OF the
Old Dominion Steamship Company by
the Southern Railway, the Atlantic
Coast Line. the Seaboard Air Line, the
Norfolk and Western and the chesa-
peake and Ohio. enabled these carriers
to reach the East and compete for part
Of the domestic and foreign business
which passes through the New York
gateway.
, II. II. Walker, president OF the Old
Dominion Line. testified that the five
railroads owned IS per cent. Of the odd
Dominion's stock, but he insisted that
the company was operated with as much
freedom as though the railroad did not
control II. He also said that the rail-
roads competed among themselves for
traffic which WAS contributed to the
steamship company.
r. Walton Moore, representing the
carriers. argued that Congress in forbid

breaking up of control such AS was pre-
sented to the commission in the case Of

Fifth Avenue at 4lst Street
carries a different line of
merchandise from our other
stores.
Some seem to think it must
be a finer line, others imagine
it must be more expensive

Neither idea has any
foundation in fact.
All Of our stores carry like
fabrics, like qualities and like
variety Of goods of all sorts.
Not all the same patterns,
because many Of ouI patterns
