FINANCING URUGUAY

It is announced that loan of $10,-
100000 will probably be offered on
behalf Of the government of
Uruguay, in New York within a
short time. Uruguay is one Of the
littler but possibly the most progress
sive of all the South American coun-
tries. It is closer to working So
cialism than is New Zealand; Aus
tralia hasn't even started on radical
things, as compared to the progress
that Uruguay has made.
Uruguay, for example, is one Of
the greatest live stock countries in
the world; greatest, that is, in pro-
portion to size and general resources.
The government, instead Of waiting
for private monopoly to establish
control, build stock yards and pack
ing plants, went into the business,
placed refrigerator ships on the
ocean to haul its meats to the worlds
markets, and is somehow making
the industry grow at terrific rate.
The government took over the rail-
roads; it has more recently taken
over the trolley systems of the cities,
and has been executing q great
coup by which the whole insurance
business of the nation is now being
nationalized as fast as possible.
These are just few Of the ag-
gressive policies that are pressing
in Uruguay, with the public's enthu-
siastic support; and, of course, the
financing of so many. and varied &C.
tivities has necessitated, in a new
country, the importation of a deal of
capital. In order to get this Ma
tional Bank of Uruguay was organ
lied; strictly modern, scientific in.
stitution, with ample capital, paid up
in gold; and this institution became
the vehicle through which the finan.
cisl operations were managed. It is
credited with reducing interest rates
throughout the country nearly half
while it keeps Uruguay securities in
demand wherever money is seeking
investment.
Time has come when the European
money centers cannot respond to de-
mands, and Uruguay is coming t.
the United States to ask a loan. l
will doubtless be accommodated yer,
promptly. Switzerland offered SIS,
100000 bonds in New York yester
day, and they were oversubscribee
during the day. Uruguay ought tt
be a more attractive investment fol
Americans; it is one of the grea
fields of American commercial op
portunity.
There is bit of appeal to tn,
American sense of humor, incident
ally, in the spectacle of good Wal
Street gold going into governmen
railroads, trolleys, insurance, stool
yards, ship lines, and the like. Wal
Street doesn't care much for thos
things when it contemplates them a
part of the public policy of tn
United States; but it buys Swis
bonds with keen avidity, their secu,
ity in part being the government
owned railroads of Switzerland;
will likewise buy Urr 'uay bonds
it gets the chance, their security b.
ing a half-communized reoublic o
the other side of the world.

Adxantaas Of sIlenesr.

This crash of the bullet makes the
value of the Maxim silencer very little.
30 far as military efficiency is con-
cerned, In the way that the fiction
writer imagines the silencer to be use
full, but not to prevent the enemy from
discovering the position of the men
firing as many fancy.
Its value lies in the fact that 1t
eliminates fully half of the recoil Of
the rife from the action Of the gases
In its chambers, and 1t gives the ON.
GERS much better control over the 6re,
because of the lessened noise Of the
rifles. It cuts down the roar Of the
Springfield to about the noise of the
$500 and thus the roar OF the rifles
1t the firing line is much reduced, and
the commands Of the officers can be
aeard-Outing.

war had wrought in her. She who had
resented Fellers part-what part
she had been playing! Every word
every shade of expression, every tell
ing pause of abstraction after Wester-
ling confessed that he had made war
for his own ends had been subtly
prompted by purpose whose actuality
terrified her.
Her hypocrisy, she realized, was as
black as the wall of darkness beyond
the lanterns CLEAN. Then this demon
alization passed, as a nightmare
passes, with Westerling's boast again
in her ears.

men, we're based on sinister trickery
