Freed BY Jury From Murder Charge
She ROmps With Her Little Son On

ROSLYN, L. l., Dec. BIN her
beautiful home at 1.-The Crossways",
Mrs. Blanca de Saulles, freed of the
charge of the murder of her former
husband, Jack de Saulles, Broadway
favorite and Yale athlete, played and
romped today to her hearts content
with her son, Jack de Saulles, Jr.
The fear that her boy was being
estranger from her had disappeared
and the mother is again the chilean
beauty of earlier days.
The state of apathy disappeared, a
tint of crimson mounts the unusually
pallied cheeks and the eyes flash the
fire of youth, vigor and love-love for
her boy.
Relatives of Jock de Saulles have
abandoned all possible hope of going
into court with the plan to prevent
the mother from taking her son back
to Chile or elsewhere to live. The
verdict of acquital makes the mother
the child's guardian.
Mrs. de Saulles received represen-
tatives of the press yesterday. While
discussing the trial and her own af-
fairs, the boy was brought to his
mother, and, she said, my happiness
is now complete.

MILK CHEAP FOOD

Is milk an expensive food? The
department of animal industry of
the Utah Agricultural college thinks
not With milk at ten cents a quart
1t makes the following interesting
comparisons to prove its point:
One quart of milk is equal in food
value to eight eggs. worth 33 1-3 e:
to three-fourths of a pound of ham.
worth 20 "a cents to two pounds of
chicken, worth so cents: to three
fourths pound of beefstock, worth
lS 3-4 cents, and to four-fifths of a
pound of pork, worth "a cents.
From further statistics collected bv
the department, it becomes clear that
skim milk is also a food not only
cheap but valuable. Swimming milk
takes out nothing but the fat, and it
leaves the product high in proteids
and sugar, both essential foods. Two
and one half quarts of skim milk
contains almost as much protein and
yields about the same amount of en-
ergy as a pound of beef. Quoting the
skim milk as high as four cents per
quart, two and one-half quarts would
cost but ten cents, or less than half
the cost of one pound of beef

Dear Folks

France, Oct. 27, 1917
Dear Folks:
l am stationed in another French
village, with a platoon, guarding the
billets of a battalion which has gone
up front l suppose you have read
in the papers where American troops
are in the trenches 1t came much
sooner than we expected l can't tell
you anything about the movements OF
my regiment, as yet, but a little later
when the ban is lifted, | may be able
to tell little about trench life.
This is a tiresome job. All | have
to do is sit in headquarters and an
swer the telephone, then go out and
make the rounds of my sentinels
make a couple OF rounds in the morn
ing, one in the afternoon and two al
night, one before, and ane after mid
night.
l have an orderly who splits the
wood, keeps the fire going and gets
me my meals. l have read all the
old magazines in the place, and re-
read the best ones. Well l am to be
relieved by another lieutenant al
500 o'clock, and will return to my
battalion, where things will be more
interesting.
l wish you would send me my all
mattress, if you have it, also a good
American pocket knife, one with a
clip point blade. The French knives
are joke, made of tin. l turned the
edge of mine. sharpening a pencil.
I haven't got letter from the
states for ages. The mail has all been
held up somewhere. probably will ar
rive in tons some of these days, that
is unless the mail ships have been
torpedoed.
Last night l crawled out of my
blankets about one o'clock, put on my
big sheepskin coat and a pair of hip
boots, and made the rounds of the
sentinels, and it was showing, big
wet flakes coming down like feathers
This morning it has turned into the
usual cold rain-I might almost say
the ever-present, everlasting rain

wash away.
l can't find any stationery, so / am

When l go back 1 will have work
much to my liking 1 have picked
several of the most likely men from
each company in the battalion, and
am training them in mapping, patrol
ing and scouting. I hope they will

1 see a good many newspaper cor
respondents, and they seem to be of
the opinion that the war is drawing
to a close. Germanys morale is just
about gone she has been so consist
emily beaten by the French and Eng
lish. / do hope the Italians will stand
up against them. 1t is a favorite stunt
with the Germans to take their troops
who have been badly punished by the
French and English, and have lost
their morale, and put them against
a weak foe, and let them win a few
victories to bolster up THEIR courage,
then put them back in the lines, where
the French and English have the same
process to do over again. 1t is too
bad that there is always a weak ally
that the Germans can beat.
l am hoping that there will be some
word for me when l get back tonight.
l am just crazy to hear from GeraI-
dine.
am in hopes that our division,
after its tour in the trenches will be
taken out to act as instructors to
the green troops coming in. If that
is the case 1 might get to see Frank,
but it is about looking for a needle in
a haystack to try to find anyone you
know around here.
/ hope to have more news to write
you next time.
Au revoir,

that we cannot refrain from whisper

explained by the fact that he had been

Dear Folks.
Today is a sort of holiday for me
and I'm taking little rest. My COM
pany is on guard, and another officer
Is officer OF the day. so there is moth
ing for me to do.
Last Saturday | got a days leave
of absence and went to a large city
near here, to make some necessary
purchases ! bought a trench coat,
rubber boots, gloves, etc. But l can't
get any good heavy wool sox
1t was quite an agreeable trip. / got
a room in a good hotel, with hot
BATH and good French cooking. I
went to a moving picture show, saw
an American photoplay, and almost
persuaded myself that l was back in
the states. However, all the windows
in my hotel were covered with blank
cts to keep out the cold, since the
glass had been shattered in a German
air raid of two days previous, and
from my hotel l could see the ruins
of several "Maisons," completely ruin
ed by previous bombardments. Also
one corner had been blown off the
railroad station across the street by
a recent raid
l wish l could tell you more about
my daily doings, and my plans, but
the censorship regulations won't al
low.
We now have our full complement
of officers in this company, and my
work is much lighter. bunch of
officers have recently arrived from
the American training camps, and are
being assigned to the regiment. Off
cially, | am now a first lieutenant in
the 53rd Infantry, attached to the 10Th
Infantry. / don't even know where
the 53rd Infantry is, but suppose
will be ordered to join it at some flu
ture time.
Tell Ruth that l have adopted an
other sister, little French girl, about
ten years old who lives next door to
me. Her father and brothers are at
the front, one brother has been killed
Her mother makes a living by wash
ing for the soldiers. She has learned
to talk a little English, and says she
is going back to America with me af-
ter the war. He name is quite roman
tic, Ferande PAndre.
l saw a German plane being she'll
ed on my visit To- Saturday.
1t was a wee speck, so high as to be
almost invisible, with little white
puffs of bursting shrapnel dotting the
sky all around it. None of them touch
ed it, however, and it went It's way
unframed l expect it probably met
French aero squadron before it got
back to its own lines.
We have all the windows darkened
at night, and to be very careful, SO
that German planes will not be able
to locate us and drOp bombs The
French have shutters and heavy cur
tains on all their windows.
There is comparatively little drunk
enness or disorderly conduct among
our men, much less than is the case
in time OF peace in the states. Last
pay day passed without a single ar
rest in my company. The men, most
of them at least, realize why they are
here and conduct themselves accord
ingly.

URGES PASSAGE
OF WEBB BILL
Chamber of Commerce of
U. S. to File Report with
Senate Committee

Washington, D. c., Jan. le.-Amer-
lean exporters in having to deal singly
with combinations find themselves in
position which at the end OF the Eu-
ropean war may be disastrous, accorh-
ing to q report OF special committee
Of the Chamber OF Commerce OF the
United States, which is to be MED
with the Senate Committee on Inter
state and Foreign Commerce, urging
the passage of the so-called Webb bill
to promote export trade.
The report was compiled by the com
mittee Of which Il. Goodwin Rhett'
president Of the Chamber Of Commerce
Of the United States. is chairman, and
composed in addition of Professor
Henry r. Sesger, of Columbia UNI
ver.ity, and Guy f. Trip, of New York
City, chairman Of the board Of the
Westinghouse Company.
The Webb bill has already passed
the House and now is before the SEN
ate Committee for its consideration.
The House, however, so amended the
bill, before passage. as to prevent the
exemptions from the Sherman Act
taking effect If there is restraint upon
the export trade of the United States.
The committee, and through it the
National Chamber, Is urging the pas
sage Of the bill because it feels that
cooperation in export trade affords
special advantages to small concerns
which have not great experience
abroad. Many Of these concerns, 1t is
said, are now unwittingly doing harm
TO American commerce abroad. Lacking
experience and individually unable 20
support special staff for selling
abroad, they have so conducted their
relations with several parts of Latin
America, for example, as TO call forth
organized protests II such concerns
could enter into association among
themselves and collectively support a
common agency that would make the
contracts, arrange the credits, see 10
compliance with sample, and superIn-
tend the shipping, it is believed justi'
fable complaints on the part of for
eign customers would be automatically
obviated. Otherwise, the committee
thinks. there may be national detri-
rant in trade relations

BIG IMPROVEMENT IN
FREIGHT CAR SUPPLY
Shortage on January | Much
Smaller than a Month Before

The net shortage Of freight cars on
January 1 was 1892, against 1O7,Ts
month before, thus indicating that
the problem Of railway traffic conges-
tim which has been matter OF grave
concern both to the railways and to
shippers. Is tending TO become less
acute. To what extent the improve
ment is due to the efforts which the
railroads have been making to relieve
the congestion cannot be determined,
but it seems probable that the decline
in traffic, which always comes at this
season, owing partly TO the fact that
the summit Of the crop movement has
been passed, accounts very largely for
the bctterment in the equipment sup
pig situation. Though the figures show
substantial improvement when con-
trasted with those Of month before.
this is the first time since 1907 that
there has been a shortage Of cars on
January !. As a rule there is a great
surplus at that time. At he beginning
of 1916 there was a net surplus OF
47.Osl cars. The maximum net surplus
in the last ten years was reached on
April %. 1908, when $4,000 cars we're
idle. and the maximum net shortage
was reported on February 6, 1907, when
the demand exceeded the supply by
l37.S47 cars.

Reestablishment Of the Mexican gov

was the declaration made tonight by
Samuel McRoberts, yice-president OF

before the Boston Chapter, American
Institute of Banking.
Probably the greatest field for our
future operations, said Mr.. McRoberts,
"is Mexico, owing to the character OF
its undeveloped resources and its
iuxtaposition. When life and property
can be considered permanently safe ~
that country our capital and energy
will flow over the border, TO the mu-
tual benefit of both countries. 1t rs
probably our greatest field and should
be peculiarly our own"
Mr.. McRoberts also discussed our
trade opportunities in Russia, China
and Canada.

The development Of the copper IN
dust1y in Japan is almost certain to
affect the future of the trade. The
production in 1910 was 60,0OO,OOO
hounds, i'm 1914 it was 76,50O,OOO
pounds and the output during the
first seven months of 1916 was S4,-
100000 pounds. During the last two
years most of the copper produced In
Japan was either utilized in the man
ufacture Of munitions or exported TO
the Allies, principally Russia. Elk
ports Of Japanese copper increased
over 60,O00,000 pounds. 1t is not
likely that she will have much diff
Guilty in maintaining exports at the
present rate. She is bound to con-
troll the Eastern markets, principally
India and China which formerly
bought American copper, via Great
Britain and the Continent. The In
crease in the copper trade in Japan
may mean, therefore, reduction in
our normal sales to Europe.

Holding Out

The London Times" states there is
reason TO believe that British holders
Of considerable amount OF American
securities have not yet responded to
the invitation of the Treasury to sell
or lend their securities. This may be
due to various causes. Some holders
who have failed to realize the real ne
cessity of responding to the Treasury's
invitation will get a reminder of their
failure TO do so by the deduction of the
penal income tax OF IS. in the pound
from the next dividends, which may
prove sufficient 10 achieve the desired
result Others, indisposed to SELL may
have failed to lend their securities
through ignorance Of the terms of de-
post.
II is known that very large amount
OF securities owned by British subjects
has always been held in New York, an
amount which has been considerably in
creased since the outbreak Of the war.
A very substantial amount Of these Sc
curities has been neither sold nor lent
to the Treasury, and there seems TO be
an impression that such securities arc
not wanted by the Treasury. That ia
not the case. The bulk of these securi
ties the Treasury is prepared 10 buy
or borrow

The only country in South Amer
lea that has an unfavorable ex-
change is Brazil; and this is very
much in contrast with the position
in Argentina, where exchange is at a
level never before known in the
financial history of that country.
Both arc debtor nations, and, as a
matter of fact. European invest
ments in the Argentine are larger
than those in Brazil. Hence, the sit
uation needs explanation. The Ar
eentine has made every effort TO
maintain its credit, and when the
war in Europe started took special
precautions TO avoid default. Bra
I'll defaulted, and they had to settle
affairs temporarily by a funding
scheme which increased the debt OF
taat country. The default brought
about a decline Of % per cent in the
exchange, and Of course the amount
due on interest account increased rs
2 result of the depreciation. Brazil
found itself in a worse plight than
ever. Exports declined considerably
and curtailed the revenue of the re-
public. The several states did not
fare any better, and their defaults
were even more serious than the In
solvent position Of the central gov
eminent. Before the war foreign
capital flowed freely in Argentina,
but no efforts were spared to i'm
prove local industry. In Brazil, on
the other hand, practically all bust
ness activity on large scale was
cue to foreign capital and foreign
enterprise; consequently, the coun-
try was more under the control OF
foreign financial interests than Ar
centina or even Chile. BY taxing
exports the government has placed
an obstacle in the way Of the free
fow Of trade; unfortunately, it was
compelled to do that because there
was no other means Of obtaining the
revenue needed 70 carry on the ad-
ministration. To add to her trou-
bles. Brazil had a comparatively poor
rubber crop last year, and smaller
output of coffee, the value of coffee
not having increased in the same
ratio as the value Of other commodi-
ties. Although the balance Of trade
is in favor of Brazil, it is still in
sufficient to meet her foreign dues.
More capital is needed in order to
develop and to maintain existing in
dustries; only recently American
capital has begun to flow in that di-
rection. 1t is expected that Brazil
will be able to increase her exports
in a short while, and then, and then
only, will exchange begin to turn in
favor Of that country.
