Declares Former Exporter and
Importer of Years Expert
ence in South America.

fifi torJAtboGthtgbPN PNgbol Itisfl,
ST. LOUIS. Jan. 21-The future
welfare of American foreign trade
largely depends upon the participa-
ton in 1t OF an Increasing number
Iof smaller manufacturers and mer-
chants, according to w. G. Downs,
United States commercial attache for
Australasia, who addressed the SEQ
Iond national Foreign Trade conyen-
ton here today on the subject bf how
these smaller manufacturers and
merchants could successfully enter
the foreign trade.
Mr.. Downs, who was formerly an
exporter and importer Of many
years residence in South America,
declared that with all Of the facil:
tiles now offered by the government,
the railroads, banks and various
trade organizations, there was no ex'
cuse for an American manufacturer
mot being able to ascertain whether
his goods were suitable for any par
tcular foreign market. The prob
lem Of getting the goods into that
market could be solved largely by
cooperative foreign selling organi-
cations and export commission
houses.
1t was far better for small man.
ufacturer to undertake his foreign
business in cooperation with other
manufacturers, he said, than 1t was
for him to entrust the future Of his
export business to his own repre-
sentative unless he was justified IN
assuming the heavy expense of an
exclusive traveller. In his opinion
these cooperative groups should be
limited in number, non-competing,
and yet in produce kindred OF allied
lines Of goods, in order to work with
the most efficiency. q
IT the smaller manufacturer wds
unable or did not care to enter such
comb bination, he had |: at hand ready
to serve him the highly trained and
efficient organizations of the export
|commission houses who already have
permanent agents .and exhibition
rooms abroad. The commission mer-
chants, he said, always have been
and still are the pioneers who will
still handle very considerable per
centage Of American export trade.
The small manufacturer, he said,
should inform himself thoroughly
as to which were the best represented
and best equipped commission houses
operating In the territory which he
wished to enter, and lay out with
them selling campaign that should
be mutually satisfactory. In any
event It was a matter of intelligent
of all interested parties
that would solve the problem OF ex-
tending the foreign trade OF the
smaller manufacturers and mer-
chants. a.

InPoland French Warfare Con-

AusTRlANs BROKEN DOWN
Sharp Fighting South Of Metz
at This Time Promises In
teresting eveIopments.
Ipv AssociArEo PRtss,

LONDON, Jan. 21G-Russia's three
fold assault on the Gerlnanic allies
has, in the opinion OF British obsery-
ers, resumed its steam roller char
acteristics alike in the north, the CEN
ter and tho south.
In the north the advance into East
PRUSSIA is reported as Threatening the
German lines Of communication and in
Poland the trench warfare continues
with small results for either side but
the Russians confidently dwell on
what they call large German losses
in efforts to hold present positions. s
In the south the Russians declare
that the Austrian resistance seems to
have been broken down entirely and
that Transylvania lies open to them.
Reports OF Roumania's lorl await
ed entrance into the fght continue to
circulate. One rumor today has it.,
however, that Roumania viii not inn
mediately declare war but that she
will throw troops into Transylvania
which ds Hungarian territory for the
purpose of protecting Roumanian
nationals. 4
Meanwhile German official utter
ances continue optimistic. The state
ments given out every day say that
the situation in the eastern theater Of
the war remains unchanged Semi
4 official statements OF events received
in London from Berlin are somewhat
more communicative. Such a message
received recently says that the Rus
slams have had some successes in
which their losses were heavy ana
that the Turks have been operating
I successfully in the Caucasus and are

Recent dispatches from Sweden in
dicate a German airship raid on the
new Finnish railroad between Sweden
and Russia Is coming to be expected.
This is the line that runs around the
northern end OF the gulf of Bothnia.
Its destruction would be serious
blow to Russia as the only other
routes of communication between
Russia and her allies are by way of
the Baltic sea or through Archangel
on the north. The former route has
been made impossible by mines and
the latter by ice.
In the western arena of the war

fined to artillery exchanges except to
