while Europe, oversupplying it's own
markets, was theoretically drumming
all the corners or the earth for new
trade.
Youth followed the banners Of bust
ness westward and young Scotsmen
and Engliskmen built UP great herds
of sheep and cattle in Argentina and
sent beef, mutton and wool to British
markets and bought machinery. tools,
carriages, furniture and clothing. Eng
lish money also went into railroads and
banks. Frenchmen. Italians and Ger
mans became South American mer-
chants. In the meantime the United
States was making heavy purchases
of coffee and rubber in Brazil and of
hides and skins in Argentina, but was
neglecting South America in some 9TH
err respects. The home market satisfied
the American manufacturers. Further
more, Europe was underselling him in
Latin America.

Then came the war Of the entente
allies and the central powers. German
shipping was locked up in harbors all
over the world. Transportation be-
tween Great Britain, France and South
America was seriously interrupted.
The United States, initiated into the
profits and pleasant adventures of :f,-
ternational trade through its ammunt-
ton contracts and having the chance
of selling abroad at its own prices, mt
ed its eyes from happy view OF itself
and a great and vigorous ambition

that South America, though discovered

chief OF the bureau of foreign and do

this article that the population of the

~ ONS of cabinet officers have set
the young men of the nation
memorable example in doing
~ their bit in war time.
Ten sons of six members of Presi-
dent Wilson'S official family have vol
uhteered for some form of military
service. In addition, the son of Champ
Clark. Speaker of the House. has start
ed training for the officers Reserve
Corps.
Probably never before in the history
of this country, and not even in the
war-torn nations of Europe, have high
officials of the government been able
to make such q showing. When Ar
thur James Balfour. British secretary
of state for foreign affairs, first talked
to Washington newspaper men he told
of the sons of high officials in the Eng
lish government who had gone to war
TO illustrate how closely home the war
had come to Britain's leaders. He
said:
II saw with great regret today in the
newspaper that the son of Mr.. Bonar

stinctively cast my mind back to the

gust, 1914, one has been killed in ac-
ton. four at least have lost sons, and
now Mr.. Bonar Laws son is wounded"
Two members of President Wilson's
cabinet have contributed three sons
each to the service of their country.
Three sons of Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo and three sons of Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson either already
are in active service for Uncle Sam or
are in training to perform military
service.
Secretary of the Interior Lane. Secre-
tary of the Navy Daniels, Secretary of
