WAR HELPS L. :. TRADE
IN SOUTH ERICA

We have been reaping the benefit of
Europe's inability TO attend to foreign
trade while she has a titanic quarrel
on her hands. To the A. B. c. powers
argentina, Brazil and Chile), which
are our principal customers in South
America, we sent during the first ten
months of the fiscal year 1913, $685.
500, 900 worth of our products; during
the corresponding 1914 period, under
a Democratic tariff law, they dropped
to $685. 500, 900; but during the 1916 pc
riod they rose to SOB, 000, ZOO. The
war opened the way for US.
Despite Secretary Redfeld's tall
Dragging of our conquest of South
American markets, and the boast of
Senator Furnifold Simmons of North
Carolina, that instead of surrender
ing our markets to the foreigner, we
have invaded and captured his" III
exports to all South America for the
ten months ended April, 1916, were
only about $4,000 900 in excess of the
record made for the ten months end
ed April, 1913, when a Republican tar
if law was on the statute books. Dur
ing the ten months ended April, 1914,
with a Democratic tariff law in opera
ton, and a consequent depression in
manufacturing industries in this coun-
try, our export trade to the South
American countries fell to S107, 900, 90
compared with owe S122. 600, 900 for a
similar period ended April, 1913, un-
der the Republican tariff law
How shall we retain a fair share of
a trade which the misfortune of Eu-
rope has placed in our hands? is the
question American producers are ask
ing themselves, and most of them
arrive at the answer: by guarantee
ing to the American manufactures
adequate protection in his domestic
market"
This will keep the mill wheels hum
ming at top speed, and make possible
the full-time American standard of
wages to our laborers. 1t will reduce
the unit cost of production to a point
which will enable our manufacturers
to be serious contenders for the South
American markets. With a protective
tariff back of him, the American man
ufacturer can fare forth fearlessly,
to have and 10 hold. With a Demo-
cratic ne~ar-free-trade tariff law en-
~couraging foreign competitors to
crowd him out of his own bailiwick
his ability to cope with those Compel
itors in South America will be ire
~trievably lost. The Southern Democ-
racy knows this, but the Representa-
tives whom the South sends to Con-
gress do not, and they hold the bal
ance of power at present. Those
Southern Representatives will contin-
ue in control as long as the Demo-
cratic party continues in power. That
is why the producing classes in Amer
ca are in favor of returning the Re-
publican party to control of national
policies. Moreover, the best way to
cement our Friendship with the Latin
American countries is to supply them
literally with products-"Made in
America"

When Senator Fall got up in Con-
gress and recited the tragic litany Of
the outrages which we have had from
the Mexicans, Wilson sought to put
the Senator in the Ananias club. But
when Secretary Lansing wrote the
same recital down in a note to Car
rama, Wilson called out the militia.

"As goes Maine, so goes the Union"
Maine remains now as the only state
which votes prior to November. The
disappearance of the Progressiyes as
an organized party in Maine indicates
a certain Republican victory in Sep
TENDER and that will forecast Repub-
lican triumph in November.

Caused Attachment of Ex- plOsives Clause to the
 Nitrate Bill
DEMOCRATIC CHANGES GOOD, SAYS GRAVES
Chairman of Alabama Committee a Visitor to Washington-Con man Dent Reports Bill
 Favorably
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, April 15. = (Specialo While Senator Underwood failed to se- cure an amendment to the army bill under which the government in time of peace could lease nitrate making plant for the manufacture of fertilizer. 1t is admitted today that his notable ef- fort in beHalf of the American farmer
 is all that made possible the attach ment of the clause under which the government will manufacture explo- sives.
 The bill will go to conference under circumstances which would indicate changes will be made under which the plant in time of peace, may be op- erated in behalf of agriculture rather than subjected to enforced id1eness The conferees from the House will be Hay, Dent, and Kahn. and the three are favorable to the fertilizer idea. The conferees from the Senate will be Chamberlain, DuPont and Hitchcock. and the latter. it is believed, favors the fertilizer idea.
 Under the terms of the bill. the Pres ident will withdraw five waterp0wer sites for the purpose of making a se- lection The belief is expressed that Muscle Shoals will be favored.

DEMOCRATIC CHANGES ROSEATE. SAYS GRAVES

Washington, April Is. - (SpecialD After emerging this afternoon from a conference with 29 other state chair men of democratic executive commit tees, Bibb Graves of Alabama, ex- pressed conviction that the outlook for national democratic success was roseate to an extreme degree.
 Each committeeman present." said Mir Graves, told of conditions in his state. and there was no effort made to throw an untruthful glamor. I am more certain of the outcome since having heard the chairmen talk, than ever before.,
 With MT. Graves is George H. Estes secretary of the Alabama committee. Mr. Graves and MT. Estes attended the Jefferson Day dinner, at which Presi- dent Wilson made his notable and enigmatic suggestion relative to the Mexican situation. Other Alabamians at that dinner were Representatives Heflin and Dent and w. P. G. Harding of the federal reserve board.

By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, April 15.-(Special)-Th Congress of the United States, having for so long and with such reassuring comfort, trusted to the diplomacy of President Wilson and his cabinet, is ap- parently not alarmed in that with at least three nations the crisis, in dplo- matic relationship, has been reached.
 General Carranza has served notice that the United States must withdraw its troops from Mexican territory. Great moved from the United States ship. China, AS Germans, Austrians and Turks. Germany has admitted that, despite the insistence of the United States and its own promises, it sank the Sussex, and various other merchant vessels on which Aphericans were passengers.
 The next move is that of the United States. And Congress is apparently list ! less. So often has the chasm of war yawned--so often has the cry of wolf reverberated in official channels--that no longer is the legislative arm of the gov ernment responsive to exciting climaxes.
 WILL THERE BE WAR?
 With Germany and Great Britain it is still possible for the United States to continue policy which vacillates for the expressed purpose of delaying the inevit- able. With Mexico, the situation. in many vital aspects, differs.
 When Villa and his bandits sacked Co., lumbus. American troops, under an of ficial and unofficial order crossed the border. The official order, that emanat- ing from the war department, imposed on General Funston the duty of pursuing the brigands until they were captured or slaughtered, or until they were rendered so ineffective that the Carranzistas could cope successfully against them. The un- official order-and this emanated from the White House-imposed on General Funston the duty of taking Villa. dead or alive.
 Neither order has been fulfilled. The villistas judging from reports to the press, are stronger and more enthusiastic in their cause than ever before. Ger tainly, they have not been scattered or rendered so important that the Carran- zistas can cope against them And it is equally ss apparent that Villa is neither captured nor ead--sensatonal press ac- counts to the contrary, notwithstanding.
 UNITED STATES MUST ACT
 As result of the situation, the govern ment of the United States is confronted with this problem:
 American troops, their purpose un- achieved, must be withdrawn, or the gov ernment of the United States, in pur- suance of it's original purpose, must con sider an enemy, General Carranza, in this emergency, representing the government of the republic of Mexico.
 In other words, the government of the United States must withdraw it's troops from Mexico, or must, by contrary ac- ton. declare war-or take action tanta- mount to such eclaration-against the republic of Mexico.
 On one side is national honor-and po- liticai domination-and on the other, war.
 WILL DIPLOMACY WIN?
 The government of the United States will hesitate naturally-to withdraw it's

SEAMEN DEMAND
 INCREASE IN WAGE;
 THREATEN STRIKE
Mongolia and Brazos De layed Several Hours in Starting Voyage-War
 Bonus Demanded

New York, April 15.-ActiOn believed to be the forerunner of an effort ta cause general strike among seamen of all classes on ocean-going steam
 ships resulted here today fin one vessel,
 the American liner Mangolia. being de- Iayed several hours in sailing, and an-
 other. the New York and Porto Rico liner Braxos, being forced to anchor
 down the bay after leaving her pier. The Mongolia, laden with 10000 tons of mixed cargo for Liverpool, was to sail early in the day, but did not get away until D. m. The crew, 1t was said struck after a demand for higher wages had been refused by officials of the American line.
 When the vessel finally sailed it was explained that "a truce' had been eff fected, and that some of the demands of the strikers had been granted.
 BRAZOS STOPPED BY SEAMEN The Brazos had made her way as far
 as the Statue of Liberty on her outs ward voyage, when a delegation of fore men, coal passers and sailors was said to have appeared before Captain Barstow and presented demands similar to those in the case of the Mongolia. Captain Bar stow immediately anchored his ship and communicated the news of the threat ened strike to the owners here The lat ter declined to make any comment to- night
 The demands of the seafnen were print ed in four languages English, Spanish Italian and Portuguese-a and posted by the strikers on the Mongolia and Brazos They were signed by the Atlantic division of the International Seamen's Union oi America. an organization at the head oi which is said to be Andrew Furuseth who collaborated with Senator LaFollette in drafting the new seamens act. DEMANDED WAGE INCREASE In addition to 25 per cent increase in wages, to be known as "a war risk bonus.'' applicable to all classes of sea. men aboard all vessels passing through the European war zones, demands ol further increases in monthly pay wers made as follows:
 Deck crews of ocean-going steamships Boatswains. from $40 to $55; quartermas | ters. $S5 to $5O ship carpenters. s45 to $55 ordinary seamen. $40 to $45.
 l Engine room crews: Oilers. s45 to $50 water tenders s45 to $50; iremen. $40 tt i $45; coal passers. $50 to $40; wipers (or oil-burning steamers only). $a0 to $40. l Many vessels, itswa said tonight. have | been paying their crews 20 per cen bonus when the vessels have entered thu European war zones. However. the lowel scale of wages has prevailed.
 1 According to officers of steamship com i panies, previous efforts to amalgamate al l the various unions of seamen here int l federated body have failed, For thi 1 reason. officials of the steamship lines lit was said are not disposed to reEart
 seriously the possibility of ' genera
 strike.

MAY INCLUDE TWO
 MORE CASES IN NOTE |ON SUBMARINE ISSUE
Official Word of Disasters Received by State Depart ment-Neutrals Watch
 ing the United States

Washington, April 15.--Whilc Presf- were marsha1ing evidence that Ger many in her submarine warfare has violated solemn pledges given to the United States. official word of two more shipping disasters due apparent ly to illegal acts by German submnr- inc commanders, was received at the state department today. Consular dis patches indicated that the steamship Margam Abbey was attacked without erdeen bark Inverlyon was sunk by shellfire after the crew had been forced to the small boats more than 100 miles from shore. Americans were aboard both ships and were endangered.
 These two cases are being investigated and may be included in the American indictment of German methods of con ducting submarine warfare, which, it is understood tonight probably would be ready for transmission to Berlin early next week.
 CONSIDER SITUATION
 The President and Secretary Lansing consideration of the submarine situation. They had before them a number of affi- davits from American survivors of the Sussex and other vessels recently at tackled and a number of documents con- taining information forwarded by the British government. These documents ar rived on the liner St. Paul yesterday They reached here this forenoon.
 It was said the actual value of the aftidavits had been materially lessened by the contents of the German note re- plying to the American inquiries. The affidavits probably would have played an important part in the indictments if the administration did not regard the Ger man statements about the Sussex as constituting virtual admission of guilt OTHER NATIONS WATCHING It became known here tonight that the contemplated action of the United States which is expected to bring the submarine controversy to clear-cut issue. Is be- Ing watched closely by the diplomatic Representatives of other neutral nations The United States is taking into con sideration the case of many neutral yes sells sunk by German subma rines. An in vestigation of these cases has been pro- ceeding on the ground that it was only by chance that American citizens were rot aboard the ships when disaster over- came them.
 Furthermore, the interests Of the Uni ted States and other neutrals are un- derstood to be identical in some of the cases. So far. however, the United States has declined to act jointly with other neutrals. not only in regard to the sub- marine question. but on other subjects as we'll. It was said tonight by a high official of the administration that the American government saw no need fo. joint action in the present situation
