trade is salesmanship, and this is
where trade commissions could do
much good, by securing closer gov
ernment cooperation, by regulating
tariffs, by revising commercial laws,
by bringing closer together the bust
ness people OF the respective nations.

the fact that its first European branch

while the Americans in Italy are
not idle, trade commissions of other
nations, such as Japan, are active. A
good deal of Italy's new trade will go
to South America, but the credit ex-

Take More Than Bond Share

When the Union Pacific Railroad
company announced a subscription OF
$5,0O0,O00 to the Liberty bond fund
officers and employees, from president
down to section men, Immediately
jumped i'll and gave notice that inde-
pendent of the company, they would
take over $l,S00000 OF the bonds.
They have done so, anL the amount
has been oversubscribed $57 $50. with
no report from the Oregon Short Line
and the Oregon-Washington Railway
company since Thursday.
Union Pacific main and branch line
totals up to Friday night indicated
that the officers and employees had
subscribed for $l.0I,j50 OF the bonds
and that up to Thursday night Short
Line and Oregon-W ashington Rail
way company people had taken bonds
up to $500,000.
All Union Pacific people are highly
pleased with the drive that was made
by the officers and employees, and all
assert th. it was team work that
brought about the gratifying results.
General Ma ger letters i'll speaking
of the success OF the dri e, said:
"The Union Pacific railroad was
built as a war railroad for the pur-
pose of holding the Pacific coast
states to the union, and we take much
pride in the fact that in this sub

Mr.. Jeffers is enthusiastic over the

ten letters to all superintendents and

the war if both countries pull to-

"The best asset and wealth Of Italy
is its working spirit that the war has
awakened. The nobility of Italy have
learned in the trenches that work is
not a disgrace, and all are eager to
leave off their old custom of cane
carrying and party dancing.
"The other fellows in the trenches,
who have always worked more or
less for living are going to come
out of the war graduates OF fine
working school and they are going to
go to work in the shops as killed
workmen.
From an American point of view,
Italy has become a fine market for
iron, steel, coal, cotton, electrical
equipment, for mechanical tools, for
heavy machinery tools of all kinds.
Before the war Germany sold largely
