LACK OF uINGUlsTS
Uncle Sam Has Difficulty Obtaining
Young Men for the Bureau Of For
eiqn and Domestic Commerce.

Uncle Sam is experiencing difficulty
in finding young Americans who are
familiar enough with foreign lam
guages to be of use to the bureau Of
foreign and domestic commerce, which
is now engaged in making %fnvestiga-
tons all over the world with a view
to aiding in the extension of American
trade in foreign countries. 1t is said
that very few applicants to the bureau
have a practical knowledge of French,
fewer still Of Spanish and that it is
not on record that any native-born
American in captivity has a good un-
Outstanding of Russian.
It is pointed out that French is not
only the language of diplomacy and
the official speech of a great republic
and it's colonial dominions, but the
storehouse of the only modern litera-
ture which is a fair rival to that of
the English-speaking peoples; that
Spanish is the commercial key to half
the area of our own western CONT
nent, and that Russian introduces it's

and to an undeveloped empire Of 1885,

UNCLE SAM BUYS TRACTORS
Obtains Large Number Of Machines
Similar to Those Converted Into
~and Dreadnaughts" by British.

Uncle Sam has purchased, for the
use of his army, a large number Of
caterpillar tractors very similar to
those converted into the "land dread
naughts" by the British in northern,
France.
The same Peoria, ILL.,, firm which
supplied the British with the founda-
tons for the armored fighting monsters
has contracted to build the huge trac-
tors for this government The trac-
Hors -=e -ssssA betwes. $4,000 and A.
600 pounds. This is considerably be-
low the weight Of the tractors fur
nished for Great Britain. Their price
will be $4,775 each. It will cost S 1000
additional for encasing them in armor.
Colonel Rice Of the ordnance depart
ment explained that while these trac-
tors could easily be turned into land
dreadnaughts similar to the British
tanks" it is unlikely this will be done.
The tractors bought for the United
States army are to be used to haul big
guns. They will be armored, and prob
ably will carry rapid firing rifles, but
more for defense than offense. They
are much similar to the ordinary farm
tractors, except that they are more
powerfully constructed.
1t is understood that numerous ex-
