The value of the foreign COM
merce of the United States during
the year which ended June 30th en-
ceeded six billion dollars. This un-
preccdented total is near 80 per
cent. more than the large figures
for the year Immediately preceding
the European War. During the
past Y mouths more than four bill
lion dollars worth Of American
products have been sold 10 foreign
BUYERS while for the first time for
cign goods in excess of TWO billion
dollars in value have been import
ed 10 meet the requirements OF
American consumers and produC-
erS.
AS the result Of the foreign trade
of the year just ended the people
OF the United States have credit
balance of more than two billion
dollars. During the short period Of
two years the United States has
changed from a debtor to credi-
tor nation; and, at the present
time, American industries are run

OF national prosperity.
The rapid accumulation OF wealth
now resulting from foreign trade
is, of course, due in large part 10
conditions created by the Euro
pean War-to the demand Of the
belligerents for supplies and NUM-
tions and TO the inability OF Euro
pean producers, particularly those
in Germany, Austria and Belgium,
10 supply the goods they have been
exporting to South America, Afrl-
ca, and Asia. With the restora-
ton Of peace IN Europe, tho for!
eign trade of the United States
will again have to meet worldwide
competition.
Will the foreign commerce OF
the United States. after the close
of the European War, continue 10
be a large source Of national
wealth, A partial answer 10 this
question is obtainable from an
analysis OF the main features OF
the trade that has been built up
during the past TWO years, and the
analysis. if not conclusive, is At
least encouraging as TO the future.
There has been an increase in
exports to all continents. not only
10 Europe where the war has Gre
ated an abnormal market for
American goods. but also TO North
America for which the 1916 figures
exceed those of 1914 by S125,000,-
600, 10 South America where the
gain over 1914 is $50,000.000, to
Asia where the advance has been
SIS 100000, and even TO Africa and
0ceaOia where there was a SOh-
stantial gain. The comparison is

NEW MEXICO GUARD
PUTSIT ALL OVER THE
BOYS FROM FLORIDA
OVER 600 OUT or 800 MILITIA
FROM FLoWERY STATE ARE
PHYSICALLY UNFIT

The critics who made fun of some
Of the New Mexico boy who showed
up without army hats at the army
camp at Columbus, N. M, when the
troops were called out in May by the
president, now have an opportunity
to compare the guard of this state
with that of Florida and a few other
states.
Although the land of flowers has
been a part OF the union much long
er than New Mexico, it has made a
poor showing with its national guard.
According to the official report pub
lished in the St. Louis Globe this
week. of the 500 enrolled in the Flo
rida guard more than 600 were found
to be physically unfit for service
when the federal medical examiners
looked them over.
The U. s. inspectors have discov-
cred that the guard throughout the
country has been lacking in almost
everything, including guns and am
munition and it will require months
OF training before 1t can take the
field with assurance of good results.
The Globe says that General
Woods disclosures before the senate
committee indicate that " the portion
of the militia now efficient and ready
for service could be placed in the
