Two Business Men Add Names to List of Indorsers
 of Natural Vitalitas

Numbers of statements and personal views regarding vitalitas are constant ly being received from over the south. Here are two selected at random that are of interest:
 One Is from Mir. F. B. Esslair, 8 well known Memphis business man os 312 Decatur street. He says: T have never used any medicine that has given me the relief Vttalitas has. It is a boon to sufferers; have been greatly oene- f1ted for stomach troubles, indigestion and kidney troubles. Cannot praise 1t too highly. The general public should know more about it."
 The other Ia from MT. Stephen You. art coal merchant of 107O Spring Hill avenue, Mobile. Ala. He says: "After taking one bottle of vitalitas for in- digestion want to say 1t completely cured me; have never felt the symp- toms since. appreciate what,it did for me and want others to try it."
 vitalitas is wholly . natural product. It will be found wonderfully effective for ills generally of stomach, liver, Lid- neys. bowels and blood.

Cniie emergency
 While our men of finance were consid- ering the Canadian proposition they re- ceived information about an embarrass- ment or emergency which Chile is now facing. The chief exports from that coun- try until the war began were from the htrate deposits of northern Chile The world took an enormous amount of this nitrate every year. The transportation or nitrate from the fields to the Chilean ports was the chief, practically the ex- elusive, freight carried by>raiiroads which were built across the nitrate country. The income received for this transporta. ton was great enough to make one of the railroads very prosperous.
 The men of, science of Germany and Europe who spent many years in a study of the problem of how best to get all the saccharine matter that is in the sugar beet out of the raw beet among other discoveries learned that there was no bet ter fertilizer for sugar peets than the Chilian nitrates, if properly mixed in the SOIL For that reason. probably more than oae-half, some of the authorities say two- thirds, of the nitrate exports from Chile have found their markets in Germany almost all of the nitrate being used for. the fertilization of the beet fields A year ago Chile exported to Germany and to Austria together a little over 300, 900 tons of nitrate in one month. In the corresponding month of the year just ended, Chile exported only 6S.0O0 tons. Ap- parently the export of nitrate is soon practically to cease. This condition has raised a very serious problem in Chile. The government and the business men nnna ,n6 a1, 4l.- IL. are about increasing trade with the Uni ted States. The industry IS the largest in Chile. Nearly 5o.00O men are employed in it. It furnishes, as said above, the chfef traffic for the railroads which bisect the nitrate regions. Furthermore, the Chilean government has heretofore gained nearly one-half of its revenue from the tax which 1t imposes upon the export of nitrate. All of this has been as suddenly and as completely stopped as was the case early in August in our own finan- cial world and in our foreign trade mar lSets.
 From one point of view, however, Chile is not embarrassed as Canada has found herself to be. Sometime before the war, Chile established in London a credit pay able in gold of about $50. coo. She also established in Germany a credit of $12- 0oo0O0. AS Germany was the largest pur- chaser of the nitrates of Chile it was nat ural that Chile should establish heavy CT edit in Germany. The credit in London is now available for any use the govern lrept may desire to- put 1t to, but whether the credit with Germany is equally avail able is a matter of some doubt.
 American manufacturers who have been importing and exporting manufactured commodities from Chile find that pay ments are easily made, but when Chile has exhausted her London credit. if she

ny HOLLAND

New York. January 4.-(SpeciaL)--Can- and Chile far to the south of us. are now facing emergencies created by the European war which. relatively speak Ing, are quite as great as those which the United States faced and overcame in the first two months of war. We are giving much needed assistance to Canada and we are probably to give needed as- sistance to Chile, although of some- what different kind.
 It has been well known in the financial district that Canada has borne strasn occasioned by the war which from the point of view of population and resources. Is as great as that which England her self is now bearing. Canada has fur nished an army and is ready to furnish another, and necessarily the business of the dominion has been, in some places. at least, seriously affected by the war. In financial circles, however, the impress sion has been strong that from the busi- ness and economic points of view the chief emergency which Canada now faces has been occasloned by the difficulty of
 
 Until war began. England furnished from time to time fresh supplies of capi- tai, the aggregate of which was very large and all of which has been utilized in developing the resources of the do- minion. It was recently officially stated in Canada that within year the do- minion must look for loan of as much ss $100,000000. It has recently been unof- ficially and privately stated in this city that if the United States is approached the money can be obtained here even though it does not take the form of a loan to belligerent nation. Canada as a colony of the imperial government is, of course, reckoned as bellgerent.
 Recently there has been marketed in the United States principally in New York, nearly s70OO,0O0 of notes represent ing Canadian indebtedness running for three years and bearing per cent in- terest. The notes were easily absorbed upon an income basis of 5.45. The ease with which this transaction was com pleted is of itself an indication that with cut any embarrassment to speak of to ourselves we can hereafter do a great oea1 in the way of taking the place of 1-ondon in supplying financial assistance to Canada. In view of the ma gnitude of our trade with Canada and of Canada's with us. it is regarded as all of the more important that we should undertake to

BURNETT DELAYS
 IMMIGRATION BILL
 CONFERENCE ACTION
Asks Clark to Hold Up Mat ter Pending Future Con- sideration = Belgian
 Clause Troublesome

Washington. January 4.-(Special.) ) In anticipation of trouble over the im- migration bill in the conference com mittee. Representative Burnett today asked Speaker Clark to withhold it from such reference for the present and his request was granted. While the Senate retained the literacy test. which is Burnett's main point, it made provision for exemption of Belgian immigrants under certain conditions and to this he may take exception.
 As chairman of the House committee on immigration. Burnett will be mem- Der of the conference committee and .t is expected that Representative Gardner of Massachusetts, republican. also will be member. In the past Burnett and Gardner have been in com plete accord and they probably will hold a conference tomorrow to assume final attitude on the exemption amendment This was presented by Senator Lodge, father in-law of Rep resentative Gardner
 Views Already Expressed
 My views on Belgian immigration We're expressed recently in The Age Herald" said Mir. Burnett today, land as yet I have not changed them. still. want to study the Lodge amendment with care before the bill goes to the conference committee. As I understand it. the amendment would exempt Bel gians, under certain conditions, not only from the literacy test but alsc from ha lol While I sympathize with the Belgians. believe this sympathy generally has developed into hysteria and must not be allowed to override our best ludg- ment. Also the amendment may in fringe on the favored nations clause in certain treaties"
 Asked whether he would line up with MT. Burnett or with Senator Lodge. if the former should oppose the latter's amendment, Gardner said: "Offhand, l am inclined to stand with MT. Burnett. but l shall be very glad to hear what the other side has to say"
 Retain Literacy Test
 That the literacy test will be re- tained in the conference, there IS no question. the bill having contained it when passed by the House as we'll as when it went through the Senate, which will place the President in an embar- rassing position. It is known that h. does not approve the, test, yet only seven votes were cast against the meas ure in the Senate, even with its demo- crate majority.
 The bill can be passed over his veto In the Senate, but the aoquiescent House will kill it if he says thumbs down.
 From the course of the bill in the last Congress and in this, 1t seems evident that the literacy test is to be retained. and if President Wilson fol- lows Taft's example and vetoes it or that ground it will be passed again in the same form and be put up to some other President in the future.
