onles These markets, like the italian, win
be lost to German industry and the field
viii be open t. American exporters.
The United States has special interest
In taking. commercially Germany's place in
italy whose geographical position affords
America a point from which she can spread
her traffic in the whole Mediterranean basin
not only but even, through the Suez Canal,
toward the Indies
The advent Of America in the CONNER
cial market Of Italy will be greeted with
enthusiasm, for two reasons. First, America
has no political aims TO pursue in the Med
iterranean, and therefore she cannot arouse
the suspicion that by an invasion of Amert-
can capital to take the place of German
gold she intends to follow a policy of con-
quest Second, America, as I said before. is
known in Italy, and in southern italy espe-
cally, as no other foreign nation is known.
Who could say how many million Italians
have been in America and have returned to
italy l0inEing with them the undying re-
membrance Of this country where they lived
and worked for a few years? And don't
you think that these returned emigrants
would be so many compercial agents which
America would never gain in any other
way?"

THE GRIZZLY KING
By JAMES OLIVER CURWoOD
The Author of "Kazan"
Then Langdon turned to Bruce

Then Langdon turned to Bruce
It's settled" he said, and his words had
a decisive ring in them. I've been trying to
make up my mind all the morning, and it's
made up now. You and Metoosin go on
when the horses get their wind. I'm going
TO ride down there mile or so and free
the cub where he'll find his way back
home :"
He did not wait for arguments or re-
marks, and Bruce made none. He took
Muskwa in his arms and rode back into the
south.
A mile up the valley Langdon came to
a wide open meadow dotted with clumps
Of spruce and willows and sweet with the
perfume Of flowers. Here he dismounted
and for ten minutes sat on the ground
with Muskwa. From his pocket he drew
forth small paper bag and fed the cub
its last sugar. thick lump grew in his
throat as MuslSwa's soft little nose muzzled
the palm of his hand, and when at last
he jumped up and sprang into his saddle
there was a mist in his eyes. He tried to
laugh Perhaps he was weak But he
loved MuslSwa, and he knew that he was
leaving more than a human friend in this
mountain valley.

Thor was now hidden among the boulders

Bruce and Metoosin were caught by his

They believed that from where he stood
Langdon could see the progress of the

N. Y. TRIBUNE DENOUNCED
Secretary McAdoo Issues Statement Re-
garding Newspapers Attitude on Loan

WASHINGTON. June 22.-secretary Nc
Adoo has issued a statement denounc-
ing the attitude of the New York Tribune
and its business manager, Richard H.
Waldo, toward the Liberty Loan campaign.
He declared that, in view Of statements
appearing in the Tribune, the German press
hardly could be blamed for asserting the
loan was failure, in spite of its over
subscription. He cited a statement, pub
lished by the Tribune shortly before the
subscriptions closed, that the loan was a
failure in that too much of its burden fell
on the banks. He said that in a public
speech Waldo had charged that the dis
tribution policy was a failure and the coun-
try was not supporting the Administration.
