Six Billions in
Year, New u. S.
Export Record
Previous Best Total for Twelve
Months Exceeded by
$2,OO0,000,000

Washington, May 29.-With exports
reaching a total of $4,000, 100000 for
the twelve months ended April last, a
new record has been written into the
commercial history of the United
States. This total is larger by s2,000,-
900 900 than for the similar period Of
1915 and 50, 800 OOO, 900 greater than the
1915 record. This statement was made
to-day by the United States Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
American exports for April. valued at
$3.50, 900, 900, were s24,O00,000 below
those Of March and ss3.000,000 below
those Of the record month of January
last. Imports, on the other hand, were,
with the single exception Of March, the
greatest on record in any month in the
last six years. They were valued at
1854 ,O00,0 900 in April last.
The favorable trade balance for April
amounted to s275.OO0 900 and for the
twelve months ending with April a,
SO, $50, 100000.
Exports during the first ten months
of the current fiscal year were valued
at s5,l67 900. 900, as against 1894 ,000,-
900 in the corresponding period in the
last fiscal year, while imports were
valued at s2,072 100000. as compared
with sl,723, 100000 during the ten
months period Of the fiscal year 1916.
The imports Of gold amounted to
s32 100000 in April, agains. exports
amounting to sl7,OoO.OOo. The imports
OF gold during the ten months ending
with April amounted to ss33,o00, 900

The exports Of gold during this pc
riod amounted to si67. 900 600, an in.
crease Of s97,0OO,OO0. The excess Of
imports OF gold over exports during
the ten months period ending with
April amounted to s666.O0o 900 in 1917

Germany Foments
Plots Against y. S.
In Latin America
Distorts Inquiries 10 Argentina
in Effort to Inhame That
Country Against Us

Washington, May 29.-ThesState De-
partment asserted to-day that Germany
has organized formidable anti-United
States propaganda in Latin America.
This movement, it is said, is especially
strong in Argentina, Venezuela and
Colombia, but no mention of Mexico IS
made in this connection.
1t was stated that in Argentina the
German agents and sympathizers had
distorted the motives of the United
States and had represented simple in
quries made by this government, which
were declared to be perfectly proper
as an attempt on the part of the United
States TO interfere in the internal poll
cies and politics of that nation.
Some time ago this government, hav-
ing received conflicting reports con-
cerning the embargo established by
the Argentine government upon the ex-
portation of wheat, made an inquiry
as to its scope and cause, and this in
quiry was represented TO the Argentine
people as being an effort by the United
States TO dictate TO Argentina.
1t is understood that the Argentine
government, Influenced by the false
representations, was itself annoyed
until the reasons prompting the Amer
ican inquiry we're given.
The United States. it was stated, has
urged Argentina to do nothing, leaving
to her own government and people TO
elect, without prompting from this
country, the course she desires to pur-
sue.
The object of the German propa'
ganda in South America was said TO DC
10 create irritation against the United
States and TO cause the governments
affected by it to shape their neutrality
in such way as to be unfriendly tow
ard the United States. Chile. it wa
indicated, has not hecr affected re-
Gently by the German campaign Oh mis-
representation, and there was belief
that she would soon follow the example
of Brazil.
Germany, it is said, is using two
principal means of promoting her prop
aeanda against America, the first belnf
the cables from Spain to Buenos Ayres
the other the instrumentalities afford
ed through the very wealthy German
merchants in South America.
The United States, through its dlplo
matte service, has taken steps TO dls
count and counteract the German op
erations in South America, it was de
clared.

De PALMA MAKES FAST
RECORD IN PACKARD CAR
Goes Ten Miles at Rate OF I13.4a
Miles Per Hour on
Short Trask

In the building OF fast cars Il has
frequently been thought that the limit
in speed has been reached, but actual
performance has shown that no mat
ter how high the record has been set,
sooner or later IL was bound to be
eclipscd. This Is what happened to
the worlds ten mile speed record on
the two mile board track speedway at
Sheepshead Bay. n. Y, when Ralph
De Palma, using n Packard motor OF
less than three hundred cubic inches
displacement, clipped 2.37 SECONDS

Hcrnstcdt on the Brooklands eng
lsnd) track in 1914 In a car OF 1000
cubic inches displacement.

OF 1l3.42 miles an hour. Faster sim
gle miles than this have been made.
even in races. De Palma, himself
having travelled a lap In a handicap
race on this same track on September
%, at the rate of 1l6 miles an hour
But his latest performance stands as a
new worlds record for the distance
covered.
There was special interest in De
Palma's try for the ten mile worlds
record because Of his use of Goodyear
ro-hook or straight side cord tires
Racing men have clung tenaciously to
the tradition that only clincher tires
would STAY on the rims at speeds OF
one hundred miles an hour and bet
ter and then Only when fastened on
with special lugs altho the Goodyear
Tire & Rubber CO has main
talned that the braided plano wire
base In the bead OF no-hook tires is
sufficiently strong and rigid TO hold
the tire to the rim regardless Of all
riding con iitions.
The first OF the racing men OF dis
tinction TO break away from the old
tradition was De Palma, who carly IN
the present season adopted the no
hook type of tire on his car. His
latest exploit OF establishing a new
worlds record has vindlcated the
Goodyear claim.

Should the speed increase. more cur
rent will tend TO flow thru the arma-
ture and into the battery. This in
crease OF current will distort the mag
netlc fluN thru the armature and cut
down the voltage between third" aud

field strength. Hence the voltage will
be reduced. In typical case, at 500

Joying undreamed-of prosperity"

For the first time in our history
exports are greater than our imports,
All our arsenals are working day and
night making munitions.

particle of energy on war supplies we
row have Chinese and East Indian
markets almost entirely TO ourselves
We are also exporting quite n few ar
ticles to Australia.
For many years Germany has done
the bulk OF the cotton goods business
In China and India. Since the incep-
ton OF the war Germany has been
eliminated and this market is ours
practically without competition.
Under such circumstances II is
only natural that the Japanese should
begin to adopt occidental methods of
production and business. And with
this has come the demand for motor
cars. The japanese today are begin
ming TO appreciate the advantages Of
owning an automobile. But It has
not been an easy matter to educats
japanese TO the extensive use Of a
motor car.
I'VE encounter many obstacles in
selling cars that your American sales

American sales methods in Japan II
would be hard TO make single sale.
You Americans are accustomed 10 re-

these methods on a japanese he would
at once grow suspicious of you and
your goods and would positively re-
fuse TO do business with you.
But even after we do negotiate
sales we have to show our buyers the
uses OF the car. In Japan the houses
are built so closely together that-there
Is no room for garages. Consequently
whenever We sell car we have TO
make arrangements to house II. Be-
