.GROFFS NOT VICTIMS
Of CANTON FLOOD
Took Safety in Christian College; /;
No Americans Drowned
Letter Says

Word was received in this city this
morning that the Croft family, Har
risburg mission workers at Canton
China, were not victims of the gigantic
flood in the big Asiatic city.
Mrs. R. l. Delhi, of Paxtang. daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Abram L. Croft,
received a letter from the Christian
College at New York that the Groffs,
together with many other Americans,
took shelter on the Island of Honglok,
which is forty feet above low water
mark.
In the worst flood ever known in
Canton the waters barely touched the
college buildings. No Americans lost
their lives during the rush of waters,
according to the letter. Thousands of
natives however, lost their lives in
Canton proper.

1t is understood that one of the prin-
cipal subjects under consideration to-
day among the group conferences
at the Shoreham Hotel is the question
Of credit terms which shall in future
be allowed South and Central Ameri-
can importers Of goods manufactured
in the United States.
1t is believed that method has been
found of dealing with what has been
regarded as a difficult situation from
the point of view of the United States
business man. 1t is more than likely
that delegates from the foreign coun-
tries will undertake to educate the
banks of South and Central America
to the necessity of having the mer-
chants of those countries realize the
importance of making adequate imam
cial statements OF their condition as
part of the plan to promote pan-Amer-
lean trade.
Almost without exception the state
ments that have been prepared in be
half of the foreign delegations at the

the fact that German, English, French

U. S. Advisers Will Negotiate With
British Officials.

The State Departments foreign trade
advisers will soon resume Informal
conferences with the British embassy
officials in the interests of American
shippers, according to announcement
made by Secretary Bryan. These con-
ferences were discontinued on account
of an apparent misunderstanding by
England Of the extent to which they
obligated the American government.
This misunderstanding has now been
cleared away.
The British foreign office statement
that "it quite understood" that the un-
offcial participation by the trade ad-
visers did not commit the United
states to recognition of the order in
council against commerce with Ger
MANY opened the way for continuing
the conferences.
Through these informal discussions
the trade advisers have been able to
present on behalf of importers proof s
to the date Of payment for goods pur-
chased in Germany, and to advance the
interests of shippers in various ways.
