Tried to save Regimental colors

A Kiev newspaper publishes the fol-
lowing account of the Austrian officers
attempt to save the colors of the fort
ress of Permysl;
tAt the surrender of Permysl the
standard of the fortress and the colors
of regiments constituting its garrison
disappeared. A few days ago party
of captured officers, with General
Tomashy at their head, was quartered
in Kiev. In General Tomashy's hand
bag was discovered, complete and in
perfect condition, the standard of the
fortress of Permysl. A further search
disclosed long colored strips of material
hidden away in the lining of the off.
GERS headdresses. These strips proved
to be parts of the regimental colors.
1t appears that on the eve of surrender
Of the fortress all the regimental colors
were cut up into strips, numbered and
then handed over to the officers of the
garrison. These officers. on return
from captivity, were to give back to
the authorities the pieces of color en-
trusted to them, so that it would be
possible to remake the colors and in this
manner give the regiments concerned
the right of further existence.

PAN-AMERICAN CONFERENCE OPENS

Commercial relations with the Latin-Amercan
republics have for many years been fostered by
Germany, England, France and Italy. These Euro
pean nations now all engaged in the Old World
conflict and of necessity heglecting their New
World trade. Much has been said of the opportu-
mites open under these circumstances to the United
States. There is now possibility that more def
mite plans will be made for developing business
relations among the republics of the hemisphere, for
there was opened to-day in Washington six-day
conference of delegates representing nineteen of
these nations, including the United States and
cludng Haiti and Mexico
There was evidence recently of political unanim-
ity in the hemisphere, when approval of President
Wilson s note to Germany was expressed through
out South America. The has also been the
means of bringing the republics closer together be-
cause of the interruption of foreign trade, which
has brought about the present Pan American move
ment The conference in Washington comes oppor-
tuney, and it is to be hoped that the consequences
will be definite that they will be the beginnings of
cooperative efforts which will be able to meet more
than the present temporary conditions
Although the trade of the United States with its
sister republics seems to have been increasing in
recent years. it had done without the assistance
of proper banking facilities prior to the extension
of our Federal Reserve System or of established
steamship lines with the exception of one which
only recently ceased flying the British flag. 1t has
been pointed out that there is at present no regular
American steamship service to any port south of the
isthmus except to several in Venezuela and Colom-
bia and that Argentina Brazil, Chill, Ecuador and
Peru do not know the Stars and Strips on regular
ships of commerce.
Banking and transportation facilities are of
needed, but there are other conditions also
required before the United States can profit largely
from South American commerce. The former are
only instrumentalities. What we need most is to
have for sale the goods that are in demand in the
Latin American countries, to offer them at prices
as low as those of our competitors and to allow
credit as do Europeans, instead of demanding cash
settlement of accounts. If we cannot meet these
requirements banking and transportation facilities
of the very best will be of little benefit to us
There is much upon which the delegates in Wash
lngton will have to deliberate, and when thev are
through delberatng there will be much to which
capitalists of this country will have to give careful
consideration 1t would be well if during this week
conference the United States could learn lust what
the Latin republics need commercially and the
latter could be informed just what the former pro-
poses to supply. When the materials of trade have
been fixed upon, the facilities for trade can be ar
ranged.

How to Get Along With One Arm

Soldiers in hospitals of the Somme
who have lost an arm are being trained
in the use of the remaining member by
Leon Coblence, of Abbeville, who, dur
ing S5 years of experience, has de.
veloped a marvellous dexterity with one
ann. Monsieur Coblence lost his arm
in railroad accident. Little by little
he became able to dress himself, make
his toilet, lace his shoes, tie his cravat,
peel fruit, do his own gardening and
trim his own finger nails. He swims,
rides a bicycle, plays the piano and
has license as conductor of motor
car. Now he is spending his time in
the hospitals wherever there conva-
lescents lacking an arm, showing them
how they can get along in life nearly as
well as if they had two.
