Corps, now on duty in the office of naval
Intelligence, Navy Department, has
been ordered to proceed to Annapolis
and report to the superintendent of the
Naval Academy for assignment to duty
At the Navy Department 1t is explained
that this assignment naturally follows
the new policy of filing vacancies in
the Marine Corps from the graduates of
the Naval Academy so far as possible,
and the desire to add military instruc-
ton to a limited extent to the courses
at the academy. Denial is made of the
report that Maj. Russell will be placed
at the head of the department of disci-
pine. That department. will be in
charge of Commander Louis M. Mutton

Tuesday night. 1t has taken about six

strel show and porch party to
make money for the material.
THE meeting was opened with a
prayer by the chaplain. followed by
the scout law and the scout oath,
given by the troop. After this the
scoutmaster gave a short speech. 1t
was then decided that the assistant
scoutmaster and the eagle patrol lead
er would have charge Of bringing the
piano which the Anacostia M. E. church
has kindly offered to give us, from the
church to headquarters. Next 1T was
decided that. starting October l, the
dues of the troop would be 10 cents a
month payable on or before the first day
of each month. Each boy is given un-
til the 18th Of each month to hold
back and If it is not paid by the
30th he forfeits the privileges of the
troop. Hugh Koontz. our graduate
scout. was appointed our collector OF
dues. and is supposed to see that the
rules are put into force.
The Scoutmaster gave the boys no.
tice that they must have their registra-
ton fee in his hands before October l.,
otherwise the boys will have to take
their fee to the city headquarters if
they wish to re-register. Each boy is

OF CHANGE
IN BUSINESS METHODS
Buenos Aires Newspaper Tells How
United States May Share South
American Trade.

Trade methods of the United States in
South America must be improved if the
business men of this country would
derive permanent advantage from the
temporary one which they now have
through the European war. This is the
belief set forth in one of the most in
f1uential newspapers of Buenos Aires
and reprinted in commerce reports of
the Depa rtment of Commerce.
The papers point out that as the Eu
ropean war is prolonged the United
States will probably continue to
strengthen and expand the commercial
position which the force of circum-
stances has caused the belligerent
countries to abandon.
Situation Auspicious.
The article says:
This suspicious situation for Amer
lean trade, however, will be but transit
tory if they do not take pains to con-
solidate these positions in such man.
ner as will enable them successfully
to meet competition in the future. If,
on the one hand, circumstances are IA
cilitatng the expansion of American
trade relationships, they involve, on
the other. contingencies which will
have to be faced when the nations at
present in arms take up again their
commercial and Industrial activity.
1.-The position of the United States to-
day does not result primarily from
their own efforts Of initiative, and the
present abnormal state of affairs might
induce Americans into the error of be-
lieving that they have no occasion to
sharpen their judgment or to display
special commercial aptitude in order to
conquer definitely the positions they
have obtained. The present situation
will be neither lasting nor tenable un-
less Americans modify their systems of
sale and supply. having regard to re-
ciprocal convenience. They ought to
model their methods on those Of the
countries of Europe. offering the same
advantages and adapting themselves to
the exigencies and the peculiarittes Of
the consumers whom they supply They
need to create an atmosphere which
will secure them preference"
One Chief Obstacle.
It is finally pointed out that one of
the chief obstacles to the permanence
of American trade gains in South
America when the war is over lies in
the fact that the present Increases are
largely being secured through local
European houses as Intermediates. and
that, as these are turning to American
sources of supply only Professionally,
they will naturally, when conditions
resume their former relationships.
