AMERICA HAS CHANCE FOR
THE TRADE OF PERSIA NOW

BERLIN, June 9.-America now has
a remarkable opportunity to secure
the lions share of the Persian trade,
but American business must adapt
their methods to Persian customs or
they will fail, according to DR.. Ernst
Zahn, a Leipzig authority on Persia
and the Persians.
DR.. Zahn quoted with approval from
q consular report made by the Amer
lean vice-consul at Teheran in which
it is declared that the American bus
mess men must reconcile themselves
to granting longtime credits, and
that business cannot be properly done
by correspondence, but must be look
ed after by personal representatives
DR.. Zahn found feeling among the
Persians, he said, that the American
methods were brusk and failed to pay
proper attention to the customs and
sensibilities of the people. This was
particularly true, he declared, as to
American methods of collecting ac-
counts and the refusal to grant long
credits. This latter, DR.. Zahn de-
cared is looked upon by the average
ersian as denoting personal dis
trust of his honesty. Nor must the
Persian be hurried. Time is moi
Imoney in the American sense of hus-
rite.
Or. Zahn said he understood that
the American Department of Com
merce and Labor is assisting in the
securing and distribution of German
catalogs of firms formerly doing bus
hess in Persia, and he declared this
is very practical idea for he points
out that the Germans had made great
progress toward winning the Persian
market. Their exports consisted
7ril tipally of finer textile wares, jew
elry, toys and clothing

HOLLAND WILL SAVE TWO
MILLIONS BY CHANGING

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, June 8.
Holland expects to save approx
mately $2,OOO,OOO annually through its
new summer time" or daylight-sav-
ing scheme, which went into effect at
midnight of April 80. Parliament's
act, comprising one short article, was
adopted by both Chambers with only
a few minutes discussion, and 6,O00,-
900 people are rising an hour earlier
and retiring an hour earlier Aside
from the financial gain, much is ex-
pected to result in the way of bene-
fetal influence on the nations health.
The change was effected with a
minimum of inconvenience. and there
we're few late-comers in schools and
factories on the first morning Of the
new regime. By a curious oversight,
the big clock of the Palace OF Peace
at The Hague was seen to be still in
dicating the old-time May-day morn
ing.
The one industrial sphere in which
objections are raised is the agricul-
tural world, and number OF farmers
in Friesland and elsewhere are evinc-
ing an inclination to regulate their
activities by the old time. Earlier
milking, for instance, is not in the
interest of the milk yield, while much
disadvantage is anticipated IN the
harvesting months. The earlier work
ing hour. will, it is declared, be use
less as moving and other operations
are then impossible owing to the
dampness of the early morning, while
the afternoons will be too short. Such
obstacles are, however, not expected
to prove insurmountable, and on the
whole the daylight saving act is voted
a success.

REFUGEES DECLINE
IN NUMBER LITTLE

! THE HAGUE, Netherlands, June g.
The number of Belgian refugees in
Holland has declined from 100000
after the fall of Antwerp to about 65,-
geo, according to official information.
! BeIgians continue to arrive in Holland
from their native land, driven out by
the hard conditions of existence there,
! but this accession apparently is coun-
Iterbalanced by the outflow from Hol-
lsnd-to France, Great Britain or the
the United States.
Of the $1,000 still enjoying Dutch
hospitality, $1,000 are now accommo-
dated in the four specially erected re-
fugee camps or wooden villages at EIDE,
Nunspest, Gouda and Uden. The other
are living with private families.
Besides approximately 100000 or
100000 supplied to refugee Belgians
through donations, the Dutch govern
ment has contributed about $4,000, 900.
sum Of 100000 has been voted for
the current year and, unless peace
reimbursement by the Belgian govern
ment has been declined.
Needy Belgians are free to enter the
refugee villages. If private families
maintain them, the Burgomaster is en-
powered to allow fourteen American
Icents day for each adult, and eight
cents for each child.
The refugee camps, each of which is
controlled by government commissary,
are well organized and equipped, and
have their own churches, schools,
shops and post offices. The inhabit-
ants receive meat, fish or fat daily.
They are not compelled to work, but q
small wage is offered as an induceme1t
to do SO; and wooden houses are being
constructed which can be first used
here and then, after the war, perhaps
transferred in sections to Belgium to
serve as homes there until the many
ruined houses can be rebuilt. This
work is being paid for largely out Of
S180,O00 raised in Denmark, with the
English Society of Friends lending CO.
operation
Excellent arrangements have been
made for the education of Belgians.
Under the direction of Dutch-Belgian
Commission As primary schools al
ready have been established in various
parts of Holland There are 240 class
es and $500 scholars, with instruction
given by certified Belgian teachers.
Secondary schools have been set up at
The Hague, Amsterdam and Middel-
burg, and an atheneum at Flushing is
attended by 125 pupils. There are tech
nical schools for interned Belgian sol
diers and for refugees, who are taught
mechanics, shoemaking, joinery and
other trades.
Grants are made to all these educa-
tional institutions by the Dutch and
Belgian governments.

SHIPPERS AND WORKERS
NOW STRIKING IN CHINA

SHANGHAI, June 9.-Several hun
dred shippers and officers belonging
to the China Coast Officers Guild are
on strike because the China coast
steamship companies, with the excep-
ton of the China Merchants Steam
Navigation Company, have refused to
recognize their guild and grant an
increase of wages. 1t is estimated by
the guild that one hundred and two
vessels in the China coast trade be-
longing to the China Navigation Com
pany and the Indo-China Steam Nav
iGation Company, have been forced
into idleness by this strike.
Freights al over the Far East are
81 realty affected by the action of the
officers, virtually all of whom are
English. The navigation companies
have charged the guild with being
unpatriotic in taking such action at a
time when the Entente Allies are in
need Of shipping facilities.
Members of the guild at sea were
advised by wireless of the strike, and
ordered to take their ships into the
nearest port and leave them there.

CAPT. BURNS SAYS
HIS WIFE GAINED
SIXTEEN POUNDS
''TanIac Strengthened Me,

My wife has gained sixteen pounds

Ga, few days ago.
It's really astonishing what Tanlac
will do" continued Captain Burns. my
wife was sick long time and took
medicine all the time, but nothing
seemed TO do her any good. Finally
she just had to give up and when she
began taking Tanlac she was down in
bed. This medicine went after her
troubles right from the start and in
three days it got her up and about her
work, and after taking three bottles
she has gained sixteen pounds by actual
weight and is now as strong and well
as she ever was

ism that has never wavered, a patriot
ism that is as pure and strong as the
faith that moved the fathers when they
made our country free.
No president since the Civil war has
had as crucial. problems to solve; and
no president has displayed a grasp more
sure, a craftsmanship more profound
Assailed by the wolves of privilege he
has pulled their claws and drawn their
teeth.
Assaulted by partisan envy he has
shamed his traducers into silence and
made friend and foe go forward togeth-
er in the paths of national progress.
He has fired our patriotism with q
new ardor; he has breathed into our
ancient traditions a new vigor and a
new life.
He has added strength to America
courage and mingled mercy with Amer
ica's strength.
He has fastened the brakes of justice
upon the wheels of power; he has lift
ed the mists from the temple where our
liberties are enshrined.
And when the history of these days
comes to be written, and the children
of tomorrow read their nations story
when time shall have dispelled all mis-
rendered their impartial verdict, one
name will shine in golden splendor upon
the page that is blackened with the tale
of Europes war, one name will repre-
sent the triumph of American principles
over the hosts of darkness and of death.
That name will be the name of the
great president who has made Democ-
racy proud that he is a Democrat, and
made Americans proud that he is an
American.
1t will be the name of the student
and the scholar who has kept his coun-
try true to it's faith in time that tried
mems souls the name of the statesman
who has championed the cause of Amer
lean freedom wherever he found it Op-
pressed; the name of the patriot who
has implanted his country's flag on
the highest peak to which humanity
has yet aspired; the name that carried
the torch of progress to victory once
