French and British Cooperation.

Notwithstanding the extraordinary
financial burdens of the war, the Brit
fsh and French financial and CONNER
cial interests, recognizing the plainly
Injurious effect upon their foreign COM
merce of their present withdrawal
from financing government loans and
private undertakings in Latin America
and that the United States is rapidly
supplanting them in this respect, are
now planning to cooperate in caring
for this field in the future as they have
done in the past.
"Everywhere. however, in both Of
fetal and private circles. there Is not
only an expressed belief that there is
abundant room in South and Central
America for the financial and CONNER
ciaI efforts Of the United States and Of
England and France, but a sincere de-
sire to cooperate as far as possible
with the commercial and financial in
terests of the United States In order to
avoid a ruinous competition that would
be harmful to all concerned. Every
where, moreover. strange as 1t may
seem, there is decided optimism rather
than pessimism about the effect of the
war on the capacity of England and
France to care successfully for their
foreign trade under war conditions
ana again under the conditions which
wiz follow the war." .--------.s-.-,

Conclusions Set Forth.


The following conclusions OF con-
Germ to the commercial and financial
interests of the United States in Latin
America were reached by Mr.. Barrett
as a result of his Investigations:
mot a government official, banker or
general business man, or any army
officer, would express positive opin-
ion as to the duration or end of the
war. except that the majority plainly
believed that it would last well into
1918 or even longer.
"a most powerful semi official organ
ization and movement has been quietly
but effectively started in both England
and France. not only to make now an
extraordinary effort to maintain their
present trade with the Americas and
regain what may have been lost dur
Ing the first two years of the war, but
to prepare ahead for a greater ehort
after the war in building up this trade
than they ever made before.
Under conditions which amount to
announcement and almost to actual
government aid, a large variety OF In
dustries heretofore little developed, and
hence figuring slightly in the foreign
trade of these countries, is being rapid
ly developed and will surely play a
prominent part in their future COM
merce and in competition with the United
States and other countries.
"A vast practical army of very skill
ed but reasonably paid labor is being
trained and developed all over Great
Britain and France in the form of wom-
an workers, who will increase i'm
mensely the efficiency of manufacture
and the volume of output of foreign
commerce despite the loss of male and
skilled labor resulting from the war.

We'll furnish the guns. You've got to

Late in the afternoon. after General
Scales had told the men that there
was no chance for them to serve as
machine gun operators, and had mus

Department wired that such COM

1t was too late then. They already
had determined to make Mississippi

While the War Department is crying

of keeping the men back in camp TO
examine them at this time.
The examinations being made are the

Finger Prints Of Every Guardsman

June 27.-For the first time in the his
tory OF the national guard of this coun-
try, the Bertillon finger print system
is being carried out in the record
KING of the guard officers.
Complete sets of the prints of every
officer and man in the service, are be-
ing made, and are to be sent to the
war Department just as soon as the
work is completed
The Bertillon system. as is well
known, consists of a series of prints
obtained by placing the tips of the
fingers and thumb. on an linked pad for
a moment and then pressing the fin
gers to sheet of white paper The
thumb is first used. then follows the
index, the middle, the ring, and last
the little finger. Then the four fingers
and the thumb are placed upon the pa
per at the same time, and a second
print is obtained
In this way, absolutely infalible
Identification marks are obtained from
every man. The little circles and
ridges on the fingers and in the palm
of the hand. are different in every
individual. No two persons have iden-

and never is to be removed until the

Should man become unconscious
for any reason. or should he lose his
life in battle, he is easily identified
by the little check which bears his
number, and the name of his com
mand.

you ever will bring down with a ma
chine gun before you wreck it," the
officer said.
"Too SLOW" the spokesman replied.
You ought to give the other 100000
militiamen and the members of the
regular army something to do after
they have been sent to the border, y
the adjutant general explained. "You
fellows are pigs; you want to kill all
the enemy and not give any one else
chance, And besides, there's no
place with the Mississippi regiment
for a machine gun company If you
are regular soldiers and want to really
help your state. you'll forget the ma
chine gun part of it and come along
with the rest of us as infantrymen. !"
But there was nothing doing They
enlisted to shoot machine gun, al
though 95 per cent of them wouldn't
know the difference between a ma
chine gun and Ford engine, even if
it were explained to them. and shoot
a machine gun they would. or else
they would take their paper dolls and
