LATIN AMERICAN WAR
FOR TRADE TO GO ON
No Let-Up by France or England in
Prospect, Warns John Barrett,
Back From Front.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, October 17.-John Bar
rett. director general of the Pan-Amer-
lean Union, who has left here to de-
liver addresses in Chicago and in
Philadelphia before returning to Wash
ington after a trip to the battleflelds
and some of the commercial centers of
Europe, believes that American busi-
if they think Great Britain and France
are going to "let up IN their efforts
to take care of their Latin American
trade after the war.
In an interview here, Mr.. Barrett
made public a warning, in which he
said:
NO man who has not visited the
front of the European war. no matter
how much he reads books, follows the
newspapers, attends moving pictures
and listens to lectures, can fully ap-
preciate the magnitude and meaning
OF this mighty struggle. He must get
into It's atmosphere and environment
to appreciate and understand it, and
then words fail him to describe his
Impressions. While my official posi-
tion prevents ne from making any
comparisons between the armies en-
gagged in this war, I am at liberty to
actual front, as I did, from the French
positions at Verdun to those of the
British at the Somme, can possibly
come away without being profoundly
impressed with the morale, the spirit,
the organization and the power of the

No Let-Up in Trade War.

No Let-Up in Trade War.
"As to the commercial and financial
situation of the Americas as affected
by the war. I return convinced that
the commercial, manufacturing. bank
ing and general financial interests Of
the United States will make a great
mistake if they count upon any gen.
eral let-up in British and French ef-
forts to take care. after the war, of
their trade and financial interests in
Latin America. Although the be1llg-
erent nations will be heavily handi-
leaving no efforts neglected at the
present time to prepare by organiZa-
tion and other steps to regain any
commerce they have lost as result
of the war, and to make greater efforts
in the future than they have ever done
before.
I'm other words. American bankers,
manufacturers, exporters and shippers
will count upon false promises If they
think that the European nations en-
gagged in this conflict will not be able
to give them the hardest kind Of
competition Immediately after the war
is ended, whether that competition be
the extension of trade, the loaning of
money or otherwise promoting closer
material interest with Latin America.
In taking over the whole situation
carefully with the governmental and
commercial leaders of both France and
England, I found them all anxious to
cooperate with, instead of antagoniz-
ing similar interests in the United
States. They believed, with me, that
there is abundant room in Latin Ameri-
ca for the best efforts of all the coun-
tries concerned, including the United
States, and that ruinous competition
between the United States and Europe
would be most unfortunate, harming
not only Europe and the United States,
but the Latin American countries them

ALL HONOR TO THE PEANUT
That Lowly Vegetable Has at Times
Aided Armies to Fight Great
Battles.

About the lOwly ''gOober," or peanut,
Of commerce considerable romance is
woven. Incidentally, it might be stated,
516.654 acres were planted TO peanuts
In 1899 in the United States and SG9,-
SS7 acres in 1909, an increase of GS.4
per cent in ten years. The yield in
1899 was 1864, 100 bushels; in 1909
19,415,S16 bushels. The value of the
1890 crop was $7,27O,515; in 1909 1t
was $18,271929. This year the pro-
duction is even larger than in 1909.
1t is matter of American history
that Marions men sustained life and
fought the British On a diet of baked
potatoes plucked from the Carolina
fields in the stirring years that fol-
lowed 1776. 1t is likewise a matter of
record that Yankee and Southern alike
raided the ''goober" fields of sunny
Virginia, Georgia or Alabama, as the
case might be, in the war between
the states when chickens, pigs or
greener garden sass" was not avail
able. We should not be surprised,
even, if Lees great thrust into Cham
bersburg and Gettysburg was not ma
terially aided by the valuable field pea
we call the peanut.

ROSS ENTHUSIASTIC
 OVER OPENING OF AUBURN'S NEW GYM
Hundreds of Alumni Will Return for Occasion. Was Long Needed
 Asset

Auburn, January Special )-Dr, Bennett Battle Ross, state chemist, and who has for 20 years been chairman of the faculty committee on athletics, grows enthusiastic in laying plans for the alumni and student celebration over the opening of the new gymna- sium on February 22, 1916.
 This event should be made a source of great rejoicing,'' said Dr. Ross, when speaking of the proposed celebration. Since the foundation of the college Auburn has been without a gymnasium in any respect worthy of the athletic teams of this institution. Now through the efforts of our alumni we have gymnasium which l understand is one institution has the right to feel as proud over the manner in which the building was acquired as should we.
 Hundreds of old alumni will return them our appreciation for the wonder ful help they have given the insti- tutionSby donating this structure. 1 am glad that it was my good fortune as an alumnus of Auburn to contribute to this worthy cause. I know that I shall join whole heartedly in celebrating this great event and 1 believe that every former student of this institution would enjoy returning to Auburn and enter ing into the plans for the day.
