ENORMOUS HAT ORDER
PUZZLES ARMY CHIEFS

Camp Funston, Kan, Nov. 16.--
"One army campaign hat, size
10 49," was the requisition Of the
commander Of Company I Of the
164th Depot Brigade here, sent to
the brigade supply officer. The sup
ply officer, thinking 1t was mistake,
sent the order back to the company
commander. The latter stated that
be really wanted a hat that size.
Investigation developed that the
hat is desired by one John Helsit, a
giant Norwegian from North Dakota.
He was homesteading in that state
when called for the draft. He has
always had his hats made to order,
and much trouble has resulted from
this.
I1elsit is all fitted out except the
hat, and he is anxiously waiting for
his headgear. That is on the way.
Arcadia is looking after one OF
those aviation camps that the govern
ment contemplates establishing in

Development
OF American
Trade In Russia

Petrograd, Nov. 17.-Pointing out
the opportunity for the development
OF American trade in Russia after
tie war, the Commercial and Indus
trial Gazette suggests that the part
to he played by Americans will be
great.
Russia" says the Gazette, "in the
near future will play the part Of the
buyer rather than of the seller, and.
therefore, it is necessary that Amer
ican commercial men should be well
acquainted with the demands of the
Russian market and with the condi-
tons of buying and selling in Rus
STA In order to OBTAIN this, the
Americans should organize an exper-
fenced staff of travelling agents,
with good knowledge of Russian.
The agents, by coming into contact
with Russians, would soon get to
know the needs of the Russian mar
ket, and would be able to suit Amer
lean produce to Russian needs, so
tina, they would be above all compe-
tilion..
THE same method of carrying
goods by means of agents should also
be applied to products, which Rus
sia is in condition to export to
Aincrica (wool, beet-seeds, clover
seeds, etc.,
Parallel with this, it would be
desirable to form in Russia staff
os trained mechanics and engineers,
who should undertake the manage
tnent and development of railways
in Russia.
There is no doubt that after the
war Russia will have an extensive
market for agricultural implements
which branch of trade has always
been of great interest to Americans
Therefore it would be to Americas
advantage to have large staff OF
enlightened workmen in Russia, to
which end, the Americans would
doubtless willingly throw open the
doors of their industrial schools and
workshops to Russian workers. On
the other hand, Russian institution:
would also willingly take in all the
Americans desirous Of learning the
conditions Of commerce in Russia
''In such manner there would bt
ar Exchange of practical workers
which from an economic point o.
view is the best way to insure sue
