BY foreign TRADE
Total for Fiscal Year Is More
Than Six and a Half Billion
Dollars.

All previous records were broken by
the foreign trade of the United States
for the fiscal year ending with June,
1916, according TO figures compiled by
Uncle SAM
Exports for the fiscal year amounted
to S4,345, 100000 and the imports were
valued at S2.1SO.oo0,0O0 making a to-
tai foreign trade for the year of over
Sc, 00000,000, which is much larger
than any previous total in the history
of American commerce. These figures
were announced by the bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce of the de-
partment of commerce, with the ex-
PLANTATION that the figures included for
June are an estimate based on the
final May statistics.
1t was in 1872 that the foreign trade
of the United States first exceeded ST.
0O0,OOO,0O0. BY 1900 it had crossed the
$1,000. 100000 mark, by 1907 had ex-
ceeded $3,000,000,000, and by 1913 had
risen above $4,000 100000, remaining
round that level until the year just end
ed, hen the $6000,000000 mark was
exceeded. Imports first exceeded ST.
0O0,00O000 value in 1908. and are now
a little more than twice as much as
at that time. Exports first rose above
81. 100000 value in 1892 and are
now four times as much as in that
year.

DENMARK.

Negotiations between the United
States and Denmark looking TO the
purchase of the Danish West Indies
are practically completed and both
governments are now awarding an op-
perfume moment for obtaining legisla-
tive sanction to a treaty embodying
the deal. Ii is understood that the
price which this government proposes
to pay is approximately $5.000,000. The
object of obtaining the three islands
is primarily for the establishment of
a coaling and cable station at St
Thomas and incidentally to use Amer
lean capital and American enterprise
to build up the islands, which have
fallen into dire financial straits and
become burden TO Denmark. The
strategic Importance of the islands for
the United States is that it eliminates
the possibility of some Europen power
taking them off Denmark's hands and
thereby having access to naval base
in close proximity to the Panama ca.
nal. The interest of Germany-or Ger
man shipping companies TO be exact-
in this prospective purchase has inter
fersd with previous efforts made by
the United States to Qurchaase them.
According TO a dispatch from Tyne
mouth, the Danish motor ship Samso
has been towed TO that port in wa
terlogged condition after having been
shelled by German submarine. The
crew was saved
The government failed to dispose OF

Strange as il may seem, the clergy Of
Denmark yielded to the suggestion of
the government. When the government
and the clergy agreed on that impor-
tant point it was confidently expected
that the rigsdag would amend the laws
accordingly But In this they were
sadly mistaken. The lower branch OF
the rigsdag passed the desired bill but
in the upper house the LeftiSts and the
Conservatives combined TO kill it. And
now the case is looming SO large on
the political horizon that it may exert
a certain influence upon the next cleo
tions.

Cosmos.

The Cosmos Theater bill this week has
something of novelty and something in
the way of surprise among its several
pleasing acts. The novelty comes espe-
cially in the European act Of Theodore
Bamberg and company. which opens
with a drawing-room scene and beau
tifully sung song by Bamberg's as
sistants. that leads up almost without
warning to a number Of sieight-of- hand
feats by Bamberg that transforms the
act into an exhibition of myst1fy1ng
magic. The surprise came with the OF
fering Of O'Neill and Gallagher. when a
sort of rough-house repartee set the
audience laughing to such an extent that
it did not want to let them go. A song
on suffrage. too. seemed to nnd many

play feature at Crandalrs. which is
held over for today, is of local interest
perhaps. because many of its scenes
were filmed in the National Capital. and
several of the public buildings are
utilized as backgrounds. The story
concerns the plots of foreign ennis
saries to secure the secret of the manu-
facture Of a powerful torpedo invented
by young naval officer. To show that
the torpedoes utilized in the picture are
not the ordinary property-room- m ade
articles. several are actually projected

closely one upon another. Gail Kane

AUSTRALIA SOLVES

Fortescue, Asserts.

CONDITIONS EXIST IN U. S.
Universal Liability to Training,
With Little Time Devoted to It.
Has Had Excellent Results.

THE military system that has stood
the test of war to the greatest advan-
tage is that inaugurated by Australia" "
according to Capt. Granville Fortescue,
discussing the general subject of pre-
paredness at the request of the Asso-
citation for National Service. at grew
out of an experiment. and as the cir
cumstances of this growth and devel-
epment seem almost to parallel condi
would be we'll for all Americans to
familiarize themselves with the Aus
tralian plan of preparedness.
THE problem of defense in Australia
is in many ways identical with that
of the United States. In the island
commonwealth a constitution exists
modelled on the lines of that governing
the Union. National development in
the antipodes has, in some degree, fol-
lowed the course pursued in America
But from the inception of the COM
menwealth the question of defense has
been in the minds of the people and
their chosen or appointed admins
traitors.
THE circumstances governing the
present system grew out of conditions
like unto those that prevail in the
United States. Australia originally de-
pended for defense upon a regular es-
Enlistment, small in number, and a
force of militia. These were supple
mented by rifle associa tions of prob
lematic value and by school battalions
In the military evolution of the country
the latter have been vital factor.
Evening star., 1916-07-25
Australia Now Self-Reliant,

Previous to the establishment of the
commonwealth Australia depended
upon Great Britain for the necessary
measures of protection. 1t would seem
to have been the policy of past English
administrators to foster this state of
dependence. under the opinion that
such action reinforced loyalty to the
mother land. Today all this is changed
Australia is self-governing and self
reliant. While strong in its devotion
to Britain. as shown by the enormous
sacrif1ces made in the present war, the
commonwealth has cut the leading
strings and now works out it's destiny
unaided.
The defense act of 1s03-1sos of Aus
tralia was the first law passed in any
English speaking country which recog-
nized the principle of universal liabil-
lty OF citizens to military training in
time of peace. The introduction of the
statute met with hearty approval Its
provisions went into effect in 1911 and
since that date Australia has steadily
advanced in military efficiency, The
remarkable feature of the system is
the little time actually devoted to
training, compared to the excellent
results attained. The worth of the
Australian mflitiamen has stood the
acid test of war. In no field of the
world lighting did soldiers of what
ever nationality show higher military
qualities than possessed by the Austria
liam corps which fought SO long and
determinediy in Gallipoli system
achieving these splendid results in such
a short time merits close study by ali
interested in the question of citizen
