good cheer. Gloria, her father, Doctor
Royce, and David and Lois had come
up to play for q little. to throw of the
family tragedy and the formal duties
of their city life. and to forget them
selves boisterously in the open.
For men and women resting in the
shadow Of crime they behaved
strangely like children turned out in

house shouting hilariously to one an

the excitement by loud barkings of

No one played harder than Gloria.

MUTT COMEDY COMPANY
BUYS NEW TENT

Saturday afternoon about four
o'clock the tent of the Mutt Comedy
Co. which had been showing here
two weeks was destroyed by
fire. The company lost all
their band uniforms, scenery and
costumes, but the good work of the
firemen saved the stage and seats.
Mr.. Mutt places the loss at $4,000
with no insurance. The fire caught
back of the stage from one of the
stoves used in heating the tent and
occurred just after the matinee was
over. The company had hard luck all
during their stay here being up a.
gainst rain and cold which kept peo-
pie indoors and so resulted in small
audiences. Fire was the GROWING bad
luck of all, but Mr.. Mutt, the pro-
prietor, is not cast down. He has or
dered a new tent and outfit and up
on arrival will start ont with his
show again. This week the company
will play in the opera house at Abb
beville.
The Boyd home caught on the
roof from a large piece Of flaming
canvass carried by the wind, but the
blaze was promptly extinguished.-

Paper VS.. Tin

The campaign is on. Progress is
being made. The paper container is
replacing tin. Opportunity came at
most unexpected time, but the paper
container trade, always alert to in
crease its scope, quickly perceived the
abnormal situation which may in time
bring about the passing OF the tin con-
tain r. Experience derived from the
use of paper cans and boxes is certain
to cause business men who have used
tin holders 10 reflect on the advisa-
bility of adopting paper instead OF tin,
not only for the present exigency but
for all time Pig tin sold this week
at new high record price, 664 cents
a pound. Tin plate Ia by 20 inches IN
size for early delivery was quoted at
SIS box of 100 sheets. Normally pig
tin sells around 80 cents q pound and
tin plates at around $3.50 box. This
twofold increase in price. combined
with the urgent need of tin plate for
packing perishables, has created the
opportunity to bring paper packings to
the fore. Economy, durability, ampll-
tude and freedom Of conditions causing
scarcity, should render the paper con-
tainer a most vital competitor of tim

Gold Going to
Japan to Settle
Trade Balance
Shipments of Silk and Tea
from Nippon Show Big
Increase Owing to War

Washington, May 26.-Normal trade
movements resulting from an enor-
mously expanding export trade is the
explanation given at the Japanese En-
bassy for the large withdrawal OF gold
from America within the last few
months.
Japan, it was said. is simply sharing
in a lesser degree with America the
vast store of European gold which the
Allies have been pouring out to pay
for munitions and manufactures.
Disturbance of the ordinary trade
currents has rebounded to Japan's
benefit in some particulars, enormously
in the case of European commerce and
also substantially in relations with the
United States. 1t is pointed out, for
instance, that America has been obliged
to replace in large degree her imports
Of silk from France and Italy by sup
plies from Japan. Thus in the first
eight months Of 1915 imports of woven
silk from Japan were s2,269,476, and
in the corresponding period ending
February, 1917, they had swollen to
s5,135,66 while imports of raw and
reel silk for manufacture here, which
in 1915 were S42,000.000, increased to
ss1 100000 in 1916.
In the same period ending February,
1915. American imports Of Japanese
tea were $6,679,357, and for the cor
responding period ending February,
1917, they are $s,143,774. Other goods
show corresponding rates OF increase.
On the other hand, it was said, ex-
ports from the United States TO Japan,
while showing a substantial increase,
were far from sufficient TO overcome
the growing balance OF trade In Japan's
favor. and that. the embassy explains.
caused the rapid increase in exports OF
gold
The japanese Embassy has conferred
with the Treasury Department officials
regarding these gold exports to Japan,
and as a result the Treasury Depart
ment will continue 10 transfer gold by
draft from New York to San Francisco,
with exporters paying the cost unless
there is some evidence of an intention
of Far Eastern banks TO horde gold or
TO permit it to reach Germany.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-05-27

Last year when japanese mer-
chants piled up large credits in New
York as a result of the large bal
ance Of trade in their favor, they
accepted payment in a variety OF
ways. They took part payment IN
gold, part in American securities and
part in British government securl-
ties. They loaned the British gov
eminent S100,O00,000 of New York
funds, for example, out Of the credits
that they had accumulated at this
centre. They also invested some of
their money in this market in Amer
lean railway bonds. Toward the end
of the year they began to draw gold
from us because they found it unde-
sirable to invest all their funds in
America. This movement of gold
to Japan has continued into this year
and since January l S35,00O,OOO Of
the metal has been exported to
Toxic. This is at rate of about
Sl0C, 100000 a year. or just about
enough to make UP the difference be-
tween our japanese credits and
debts. Of course there are other
factors in the equation that cannot
be figured out so easily. Interna-
;ional trade is a maze of complicated
exchanges. II must be remembered
that in the course Of the war the
Allied countries have become in
dcbted not only to the United States,
but to the neutral world in general,
ard the gold that England and
France and Russia have sent here
has not only been for settlement Of
debts owed the United States, but
also to pay other creditor countries
as well. Thus it is that the United
States is giving up gold TO Japan
and some other neutral countries in
the course of what bankers call
triangular operations. At the present
time it is well known fact that pay
ment for some of the large Russian
war purchases in Japan have been
arranged through the medium of
gold exports from New York to
Toxic.

Commercial Dishonos

Some of the tractors that are being
exported to Europe from this country
are not OF the highest order. 1t is
known that a good many Of them could
not find market in the United States
where tractor standards, although they
may be chaotic, are the best in the
world. This circumstance is deplor-
able. 1t will surely do the American
tractor industry no good; indeed, it Is
bound to work incalculable harm, not
only to our tractor industry. but TO
American industry in general and to
the reputation Of all Americans.
Europe is in dire straits. Power must
be had. Men by the millions have been
killed and disabled. Machines must
take their place in the fields. They are
turning to America for tractors. The
tractors we supply should be OF the
best. Anything short of il means COM
mercial dishonor. - Implement and
