Doubted the Statesmen


Some of those who heard Mr.
Wands's statement were inclined to
doubt the accuracy. This. however
was due to a confusion of thought,
there having been made no distinction
between the people and the govern
ments. Argentina as a nation was
known to be in need of money for gov
ernmental purposes. That was true
also of Brazil. So that 1t was pre-
sumed that If Argentina and Brazil
were approaching the money market
of the United States for loans there
must be great need of funds in those
countries.
Now there is no doubt about the
prosperity of the people in some of the
South American states, certainly In
Brazil, Argentine and Chile. Bolivia
would be very prosperous II only II
were possible for her to export her
great volume OF the ores. But Bolivia
cannot get those ores to England, and
as the Bolivian Government relied
chiefly upon the export duty charged
upon tin ores for governmental rev.
enue the nation was somewhat embar-
raised. However, there is now a rea-
sonable outlook for large and increas-
ing shipments of Bolivian tin to the
United States, where already success
full tin smelling plants have been es-
tablished, although not as yet upon a
large scale.
A little over year ago Secretary OF
Commerce William A. Redheld ven
tured to predict an export trade for
the United States In 1916 possibly OF
as much as 100000 700.
Underestlmated Money Values
A year earlier, having detected
symptoms OF great increase in our
export and manufacturing commodi-
ties. Secretary Redfeld was quoted as
having said that he thought within a
year the money value OF our exports OF
manufactured articles would be APP
proximateIy s1.bOO.O0O. 900. and would
be greater than the money value OF
our exports Of agricultural eommodi.

Now the Secretary, indirectly al
least, admits that he made an under
estimate of the money value or our ex-
ports for the fiscal year which is Just
ended. He could not have chosen a
better audience for an announcement
of this kind, for he was heard by some
5000 statesmen and executives who
took part in the enthusiastic Worlds
Craftsmanship Congress at Detroit.
These men will appreciate the mean
ing which lies behind Secretary Red
fields statement that the export trade
of the United States for the ~ months
ending June 30 was of the money val
ne of about 100000, 900, while the
import trade was of the money value
somewhat in excess OF $4,000, oO0, 900.
These figures are in substantial agree
ment with the statement recently made
by some of the financial leaders in this
city. They estimate that the interna-
tional trade balance in our favor for
the fiscal year will be somewhat in ex-
cess of $2,OOO,OOO, 900.
A world trade aggregating $6,O0O,-
100000 is without any precedent, and
Il is regarded of Importance that
considerable portion of this represents
our trade with South and Central
America, and larger proportion rep

IT'S A MERCHANT CRAFT, DE-
CLARES U. \. BOARD OF GER
MAN SUBMARINE

Washington, July 14-An advisory
report on the status of the German
merchant submarine Deutschland, sub.
mitted to Acting Secretary Polk today
by the Government Neutrality Board
holds that the vessel is a peaceful
merchant craft and entitled to all priv
ileges as such.
Indications now are that the State
Department will make no formal an
hounoement concerning the submarine,
but thath the Treasury Department
will be advised to permit her to clear
and sail from Baltimore whenever her
Captain desires to start on his return
voyage.
Another complication arose today in
the situation created by the Deutsch-
land. The State Department learned
unofficially that the German Govern
ment is considering calling to the at
tention of the American Government
the existence of an old treaty forbid
ding any but port and customs off,

chant ships of the other in their Off

officials do not believe, however,
that Germany will raise an issue over
this question. 1t was pointed out
that the visit to the Deutschland of
Captain Hughes, Lieutenant Foster
and Naval Constructor Howard was
made in order to determine whether
the giant submarine is a vessel of
war or a merchantmen. AS soon as
IL was determined that the character
of the submarine was that of a mer-
chairman, officials pointed out further,
the naval officers left Immediately.

Erie, Pa, July 14.-When the New

enty-first New York Regiment to the

hundreds of the militiamen dashed
fPon the train and seized the entire
contents of bread wagon standing
near the depot and also took all the
fruit from vendors cart. Then they
rushed across the street to small bak-
cry and rifled it. Officers and soldiers
with rifles rounded up the food hun
tiers and rushed them back to their
coaches, after compelling them to pay
for everything taken. The soldiers
complained they had not eaten since

ONE.THIRD INCREASE
In South American Trade in One
Year - Loans To NelghbOring
Nations Approximate 100000
900 - Sum, However, a
Drop Compared With
That Advanced.

New York, July 15--In 80 years, o.
approximately from 1884 to 1914, Grea
Britain and Germany, and to some ex
tent France, lent to South American
nations an aggregate Of $4,000, 900, 900
Their financial aid ceased as soon al
the European war began. In return
these nations, and particularly Grea
Britain and Germany, gained much tn,
, greater part Of the trade of Soutl
American nations and their export.
to those countries in the 80 years were
in money value greatly in excess Of
1900, 100000.
The United States since the Euro.
pean war began has lent to South
American nations approximately $780,.
100000, the greater part of which Is
represented by loans to Argentina.
Within year or two our bankers
probably will be called upon to make
further advances to South American
nations, but 1t will be a long time
before our loans to those nations, in
GLIDING Central America and possibly
Mexico, will approach the great figure
which represents Great Britain and
Germany's loans to those countries.
Has Stimulated Trade
Nevertheless, there is now an au-
thoritative statement which shows how
greatly our financial aid given to
South American nations has stimu-
lated our trade with South America
In the ~ months which ended June 30,
1916, the money value of our exports
to South America and Central America
was, as reported by John II. Fancy,
former President of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States, about
$3.50, 1000, 900, and this was an increase
of about one third as compared with
the trade the previous year.
Early in the winter of this year
Ernest II. Wands returned to the
United States from a sojourn or sew
eral months in South America. He
was familiar with commercial and
agricultural conditions there. He wars
the confidential representative Of the
State Department at Washington when
Philander c. Knox was Secretary of
State, and in that capacity served the
State Department while upon several
prolonged visits to South America and
two or three to Central America.
Shortly after Mr.. Wands returned to
New York he said that he found, es-
pecially in Argentina and Brazil, that
the people were beginning to be abun-
dainty supplied with money. They
were receiving much larger prices for
their crops than they had ever before
received, and were selling these crops
readily. Almost all of them were ex-
ported. The result was that money
was never so plentiful with the plain
people of those countries, and Mr..
Wands expected to see continued and
increased exports from South America
and Europe, and also to the United
States.

SECURE YELLOW. Y0LKED EGG
Poultry Department Of iowa State Co..
Ieee Tells seoret-Feed Corn
With Clipped Alfalfa.

Eggs with a richly colored golden
yolk, from q market standpoint, are
more desirable than the pale-yolkeA
variety. Due to lack Of green range
feed in the winter, such eggs are not
normally laid during cold weather. To
produce them, though, is quite a sim
pie matter II you know how. The
poultry department of the Iowa Stats
college tells the secret.
Yellow corn with clipped alfalfa Or
sprouted oats are winter feels that
put the color in the yolk. Sterlmy al.
falfa will not do, as it is too coarse
and contains too much fiber. The al
falfa must be leafy. Alfalfa Or clover
sweepings from the hay NOW make an
excellent winter poultry feed. To keep
the hens from scratching It about .
rack or box may be provided, covered
with coarse mesh poultry wire through
which the birds may pick the leaves.
The fact that green feeds produce
the desirable yellow-yolked eggs h
an advantage of only secondary imo
p~ortance. The fact that they furnish
food elements not to be had otherwise
and that are very much needed at THU
seaso of the year, is of far greater
Importance. The green feed is a nee
essary item to stimulate the general
health of the fowls, as well as thet
laying ability, during the winter.
