SOUTH AMERICANS
 BETTER CUSTOMERS
Exports From United States Tripled Since War Was Declared

New York, Nov. 19.-Trade between the United States and South America is three times as great as in the year before the war. A compilation by the National City Bank of New York shows that the total exports to that continent in the eight months ending with August (the latest month for which figures are aVailable) aggre gated $1SS, 100000 against 5000, 900 in the same months of 1914; and the imports from South America were $433, 3,0OO,000 against $1 100000 in the same months of 1914. Thus the total trade with that continent in the eight months of 1917 was $62O,00O,- 900 against s222. 100000 in the cor responding months of 1914.
 To Argentina, Chile and Peru the exports have more than trebled: and to Uruguay guadrupled: while to Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Nene- zuela the exports are nearly three times as great as in 1914. To Argen- tina the total for the eight months ending with August, 1917. is S62.- 256,0OO against s19.6490OO in the same months of 1914: to Brazil, $40, = 157,OO0 against $15,973,ooo; to Chile. $32,971,OOO against $1O,SOO, 1000 in the corresponding months of 1914.
 Imports from each of the South American countries show large in crcnSeS, but especially those from Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Peru. From Argentina the imports of the eight months of the current year arc
 $133,S69,O ,OOO against $40, ,752, ,OOO in the same months of 1914; from Chile,
 $96, ,626,OOO against s15,954. .OoO: from
 Uruguay, $28,3S9,0 900 against $S,522,
 900: and from Brazil, $1O6,335, 900 against $62,633,OO0 in the cores bonding months of 1914.
 This increase continues down to the latest moment for which figures are available, the August, 1917, exports
 to all South America having been $24,s88,O0O against $5,312,0OO in Aug
 ust, 1914, and the imports from that
 continent in August of the current year $49,396,O0O against $15,O96,OOO in August of 1914.
 The share which the United States is now supplying of the trade O. South America Is very much greater than before the war. The banks compila- ton shows that merchandise from the United States formed about 30 per cent of the imports of all South America in 1916. while in 1913 we supplied but Is per cent of the total imports of that continent. The United approximately 30 per cent of the ex- ports of South America, and in 1913 but 17 per cent
 The principal articles in which the growth occurs are. on the import side,

Little Waterbury Girl, Playing With Matches, Burns to Death

New Haven-While wandering around the Dixwell avenue section, Mrs Mary Frommer of 55 Stevens street. who has been missing from her home since Wednesday afternoon, was picked up by patrOlman, and taken to her home. The woman Is now confined to her bed in 0 weak ened condition.
 At Mrs. Frommer's homo her hus- band stated that she had been i'll for some time with a growth upon her neck, and this coupled with the fact that she has relatives in Germany, about whom she has been worrying of late brought on a temporary spell of despondency and loss of mind.
 Her husband has also been confined to his home lately due to an injury to his foot received at his place of employment. His wife has also showed much concern over this.
 The West Haven police and Coroner Mix are conducting an investigation to determine whether the death of Harry Platt of 817 Washington ave- nue, found with his skull crushed, in a barn at 1894 Orange avenue, was the result of foul play or the kick of horse.
 The body was found early yesterday morning by Frederick Cunningham, son of Edward Cunningham, contrac- tor, who employed Platt as a team ster The mans skull was badly crushed and he was lying in pool of blood. There are marks about the mans face which would lead to the belief that they were probably in- ficted by a horses hoofs, but the body was found at quite a distance from where the horses are tied, which gives the case its air of mystery
 The only conclusion, which the po- lice have reached, is that Platt was kicked by the horse and had strength enough to crawl that distance away before he collapsed.

Playing With Matches.

Waterbury-While playing with matches in his home yesterday after day afternoon, Stabislaus Bocivicute, 6 years old, of 243 Congress avenue, set d pile of papers afire and the flames caught on to his clothing. Before the flames were extinguished the lad was terribly burned all over the body, so seriously that his death occurred last night at St. Nary's hospital, to which institution he had been removed by Dr. Michael D. Riordan. Dr. Crane pronounced death as accidental and due to burns.

Waterbury-Manag Paul Prent- gel, when asked whether Kretsler, the renowned Austrian ViOlinist, and Frieda Hempel would appear in his subscriptions this winter, as adver- tised, replied: Most certainly they will. There is absolutely no reason why they should not. I have the of- ficial formal statement that MT. Kreisler has caused to be published over his name, and I also have a clipping from a Youngstown. O., pa per about Miss Hempel which should convince all doubters of their proper attitude toward the United States. Only two persons have approached mo regarding their appearance here-one directly, the other through an anony- nous letter. If all will read MT Kreisler's statement and the clipping about Miss Hempel, their scruples will surely be set at resi-
