The circus is coming. Ask any boy
or girl in town and you will learn that
the clowns, the spotted ponies and the
calliope are scheduled to arrive early
Sunday morning, spill a welter Of red
and gold through the streets, with the
usual 10 o'clock pageant on Monday
and give two big performances. Ring
ling Brothers have slammed hun
bred thrilling novelties on a pro-
gram, painted the clowns smiles a
little wider, busted the wistful, blink
ing elephants, added a big spectacle
called" Solomon and the Queen of She
ba' for good measure, and are now
bound for this city.
It is promised that this seasons
show is the biggest that has ever visit
ed this city Railroad officials state
the equipment is the heaviest and the
personnel the largest ever consigned
to their lines by travelling organlza-
ton. All told, there are 80 cars. These
are divided into four sections.
They carry 735 horses, Al ele-
plants and 108 dens of wild animals.
The figures of, the regular monthly
census taken by the circus manage
ment a week ago shows that the Ring
lings were at that time carrying 1870
persons on their trains. This figure Is
greatly in excess of the number shown
on the census report at the time the
circus last visited Ottumwa. While the
number of artists taking part in the
arenic program has increased over
former seasons, the addition in the
personnel is more largely due to the
spectacle of Solomon and the Queen
of Sheba" which is this seasons fea-
ture of the Ringing program. In
this pantomine the wisest of Israeps
Kings and the beautiful Arabian prln-
cess have been made the center OF
most magnificently cOstumed spec

characters, hundreds of horses and
tells the story of a period 1000 years
before the Christian era.

be presented here was staged under
the personal direction of AL Ringing.
Agents were sent to Europe ana the

if anything to gain by going to war.

Scouting for Foreign Trade
The Governments Flying Squad is Doing Good Work,
But Where is the Main Army?
BY CHARLES PEPPER
Former Trade Advisor

The Flying Squad of government
commercial scouts, which started
rom Washington with banners I'M
urled and drums beating, are now
spread over the four quarters of the
world, with the exception of the Euro
bean area
The plan is not new, though GER
ain official naivete would indicate
hat it is so regarded. 1t is merely
,arrying forward on a larger scale,
which the liberality of congress has
made possible, the campaign for the
worlds markets that was inaugurated
Don after the department of COM
nerce and labor was established.
Trade scouting of this kind does not
mean the invasion of an enemy coun-
ry, though that term is used in de-
scribing it. There Is no hostile coun-
ry to be invaded the scouting is over
Neutral trade territory with a view
o taking advantage of the assumed
inability Of European belligerents to
maintain themselves in the advan-
tageous position they occupied when
hey went to war with one another.
The pioneer scouts, though limited
in number, managed to indicate the
general nature of the territory to be
invaded and the means of access to It,
Later this was supplemented by the
detailed intelligence which Is essen
tial to an invading army. Both general
and technical information concerning
the world markets for cotton goods
and other wearing apparel, for boots
end shoes, for furniture, for farm I'M
plements, for machine tools, for flour,
for cottonseed oil, for fruits, for can
ned goods-and for numerous other
commodities-was supplied by spec
ialists who. composed the earlier
scouting squads. Equally full infor-
nation was given regarding CONNER
cial credits and competitive trade con-
ditions. I...
Some of the large manufacting con-
Germs ignored the work of the scouts,
with the contemptuous intimation that
they knew their own business, and
the government could tell them moth
ing. A few of the smaller manufac-
turers, for whose benefit the official
agencies are chiefly intended, sought
to profit by what was laid before them
Yet, on the whole, it has to be confess
ed that the responses were disap-
pointing.
That the cotton mills had not avail
ed themselves of the full technical
details which had been supplied them
concerning the requirements of the
South American market for cotton
fabrics was shown when they failed
to increase their sales, notwithstand-
ing that European cotton mills were
demoralized by the war. The shoe
manufacturers apparently did not
profit by the intelligence supplied
them: the farm implement makers
may have benefited, but If so it does
NOT appear from the statistics of sales
in neutral territory; and so the whole

gamut might be run.

There has been reason in the past
why there was no movement of the
main army Of manufacturers. Most
of them were satisfied with the home
market. They did not go after South
American and other foreign trade sys-
!tematically because they felt they did
not need it. Instead, they made spas
odic spurts during dull periods at
home when they sought to dump the
surplus on the unsuspecting foreign
ers. The result was to demoralize
rather than to promote our foreign
markets.
A few years ago change came,
when much larger number Of manu-
facturers found that they needed a
steady foreign market, if for no other
reason, to average overhead charges.
It may be said that for the last five
years, at least. there has been full
understanding on the part of great
body of American manufacturers OF
the economic value of a permanent
time is coming when we will con-
sumo the great bulk of our agricultur-
al products at home, and that 1t is
national economic necessity to build
up permanent trade for manufacture
ed commodities. The extraordinary
demand for foodstuffs created by the
European war does not in any way
alter this fundamental fact. Ameri-
can manufacturers, as body, now
thoroughly comprehend the import
ance of markets abroad. Yet they
still show lack Of knowledge of the
value of trade scouting to themselves.
There are said to be between sixty
and seventy thousand industrial estab-
lshments in the United States, one
half of which could manufacture for
export. Here is the raw material for
the trade army. 1t might move spon-
taneously to occupy the territory
which the trade scouts are prospect
ing, but it does not. There is inertia.
The department of commerce, in the
excellent work it Is doing to extend
our foreign commerce, can serve as
general staff. 1t can plan the cam
paign and outline the strategy for
capturing the worlds markets. This
much it is doing in the latest dispatch
Of the Flying Squad of drum-beating
commercial scouts; but it cannot mo-
bilize the industrial forces which are
available for export business and &C.
cupy the trade territory. These con-
stitute the main army.
Unless the American business men
enlist in a body to capture foreign
trade, the expectations raised by the
recent forward movement of the de-
partment of commerce will be disap-
pointed. The scouts will become gray
heard veterans while waiting to see
the prospect which they open up i'm
proved by the extended sales of
American goods.
Where is the main army?
