WASHINGTON, Jan. 5-How the
United States, through the accident of
world war, has moved from its place
as commercial provincial and secon-
Diary power to the rank of first import
ance among the great nations of the
world economically. industrially and
financially--is told in detail in the
first annual report OF DR.. Edward e.
Pratt, chief of the foreign and domes-
tic commerce bureau of the depart
ment of commerce.
What the country has gained tenn
porarily through the fortunes of the
European conflict, says the report, IT
can hope to hold in the commercial
struggle that will be resumed at the
conclusion of peace, only by the most
far-sighted commercial preparedness.
Two grave problems face development
and maintenance of foreign trade. The
first is declared to be that of finance
and the second that of training men
for the work.
THE financing OF our foreign trade,
it says, land in fact by far the larger
part of the financing of the worlds
trade, has hitherto been done through
London. During the last hundred
years London has been the worlds
financial market. She has held hel
position not because of prestige mere
ly but because the nations of the world
needed an international clearing house
and London supplied that At the
same time London became the clear

ing house chiefly because she supplied
large part of the capital needed for
public improvements and large private
enterprises.
1.-THE United States never has taken
any large part in financing foreign
trade because of the comparatively
small part of that business carried on
here and because also of the unfamil-
iarity OF many OF our bankers with
the methods of international finance.
Nor has the United States taken any
large part in supplying capital to
other countries On account of more
profitable investments at home we
have chosen to invest here rather
abroad This also has been true be-
cause of our position as debtor ma
ton, but probably also to consider
able degree because of mental
debtor-nation attitude on. the part of
our financiers.

Embarg0es Removed.
Chicago, Sept. 2.-Modifed embar-
goes are in effect today on many OF
the great railway systems of the coun-
try and in some cases they have been
removed entirely, as a result OF the
belief by railroad officials that there
will be no strike next Monday.
Railroad executives, however, an
nounced many assertions from the
ranks of the brotherhoods in the mid
die west and asserted they had suffi-
cient men to operate trains in the
event of a strike.
Railroads which have already modi-
fled embargoes as announced several
days ago include the Chicago, Burling
ton and Quincy; Chicago and North
western; Union Pacific; Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe and Chicago. Mil
waukee and st. Paul in the west and
the New York Central and the Erie
In the east.
Roads Abandon War Attitude.
Railroads of the country abandoned
preparations for war today and revert
ed to those for peace. From all over
Iut tOuHtlJ ldlli Onu
that embargoes placed on shipments
as a war measure were revoked.
In Chicago the usual meeting of
railroad presidents was not held nor
did the executive committee of the gem
eral managers association issue the
customary statement. 1t was assumed
that the Adamson bill would pass the
senate tonight. that the strike order
would be recalled and that trains
would run as usual Monday morning.
Close Shops In Strike Event.
Springfield. ILL.,, Sept. 2.-One hun
dred and fifty shop employees of the
Chicago, Peoria and st. Louis railroad
in Springfield and $50 in Jacksonville,
Ill, will be out of employment to-
night if orders for the closing of the
roads shops are not rescinded before
night.
w. C. Hurst general manager of thu
Chicago, Peoria and st. Louis has CIV
en- orders for the shutdown, because
he says, the railroad does not care to
risk the possibility of having a large
force on hand with nothing to do in
the event of a strike.

In little over an hour there was a
loud crack. The tree swaved forward
and then crashed over. burying its
branches among the bushes on the far

the very edge Of our platform. and for
one terrible second we all thought 1t

All of us without word shook hands
