This propaganda is foredoomed to

The American people are not cutters,
and they will not quit at the behest

is deplorable, not because there is any
danger that it will induce the great
republic to an act of reputation and
retreat to which Russia, in the midst
of the agony of re-birth, would not
stoop. It is deplorable because it can
not fail to create internal. division,

evil we hope our country may escape.

So, carrying out Capt. Eberle's the.

much muscle it takes to keep the ship

Uncle Sam Has Big Organization.

Collects Information Through oevesal
Hundred consuIs, Commercial AZ.

Z The foreign trade work Of Uncle
Sans department Of commerce is GEN.
tered In the bureau Of foreign and do
nestle e scpm1enflsf NfG1 ofFsn.n
foreign countries and to distribute II
to American manufacturers and ex.
pOrters. Its work partakes Of the ma
ture Of a commercial reconnaissance.
For collecting information, 1t now re-
lies mainly upon three agencies-com-
mercial attache, special tgent and the
consul.
The ten commercial attaches were
sent to their posts about two and .
half years ago, when the war started,
these posts being at London, Paris
Berlin, Petrograd. Buenos Aires, Rio
de Janeiro, Santiago (Chile), Lima
(Peru.), Picking. and Melbourne. These
men are highly qualified business
diplomats, who are expected d to y b
capable not only Of reporting uthe
minor incidents of commercial impor-
tance, but OF following up the bigger
developments, and of detecting and un-
Outstanding the undercurrents Of the
business and commercial life Of the
districts to which they are assigned.
The special agent Is q specialist In
some one line, and If he proves to be
the right man he may be sent to every
corner of the earth to study the mar.
kets for his line Of goods. y!
The consular service Of the state de.
partment has long been one Of the
chief reliances Of the bureau, and in
this branch Of the information-gather-
ing service there are some 23O con-
suls. These consuls give part Of their
time to reporting on commercial con-
ditions for the bureau, and in years
past the publications Of the bureau
were based entirely upon the work Of
the consuls.
