The American International Cor
poration purposes developing a very
strong selling department which is
to be occupied exclusively in seek
ing markets in other lands for the
products OF the independent Ameri-
can steel manufacturers.
Charles NJ. Schwab and President
Farrell are of one opinion respecting
the opportunities for export trade in
steel and iron commodities. They both
believe that there is to be business
enough for all and that the demands
for American steel after the war is
ended will be so great as to cause the
various manufacturers to operate their
plants to the limit of their capacities.
While the international corporation is
perfGcting a selling agency modelled
upon that established by President
Farrell, the United States Steel Cor
poration is investing some 100000 in
a new plant at Ojibwa, Canada, and
has already appropriated 81. 900. 600, an
amount which will soon be much in
creased, for the improvement of the
Tennes see Coal and Iron Company's
plant at Birmingham, Ala. When the
work at Birmingham is completed the
corporation will be in a position to
command large trade in South Amer
lea because, by reason OF the proN-
unity Of the Tennessee plant to the
Panama Canal and, in fact, all of
South America, its products can be
marketed in the southern contingent
at prices which should prove attrac-
tive. Then, too, the steel corporation
&c net n IlkNt hi hui Il HWngr
plant upon tidewater, near Newark,
n. ]. This is done because the mana
gers of the corporation believe that
there will be a heavy demand for steel
ships ard steel barges after the war
Is ended.
The difference between the Ameri-
can International Corporation and the
United States Steel Corporation, so
far as foreign trade is concerned, Is
to be found in the fact that the in
ternational corporation is rot a man
ufacturer of steel and iron products,
whereas the United States Steel Cor
poration has now the largest output
of these products of any stee! indus
try in the world. Both corporations
have ample capital. Both are officer
ed by men of very great ability. Both
understand modern selling methods
and both are familiar with conditions
which prevail in all of the 'oreign
markets. Both should therefore find
that the markets are great enough or
large enough 20 absorb American
steel at least for years because the
German and English manufacturers
Will not be III a position 10 enter
strongly in competition with the steel
exporters of the United States at
least until some years after the war
is ended. HOLLAND.

Unclaimed Body Of Man
To Rest in Potter's Field

Unmourned, uncared for, unclaimed,
another pauper, dead after an illness
of months. will be laid to rest in the
District lot tomorrow, by men paid
by the District to bury unclaimed dead.
The man, whose name is supposed
to be known but withheld, died here
two days ago. The body was held
for few days for any of his people
who might wish to claim it.
There will be no mourners at the
funeral other than the grave diggers
and the official pallbearers.

HARVEST IN FLANDERS.

In Flanders fields the crosses stand
Strange harvest for a fertile land
Where once the wheat and barley
grew,
With scarlet pOppies running through.
This year the peoples bloom to greet
Not oats nor barley nor white wheat,
But only crosses. row by row,
Where stalwaTt reapers used to go.
In Flanders fields no women sing,
AS once they sang, at harvesting.
No men now come with scythes to
NOV
The little crosses, row by row.
The peoples wonder why the men
And women do not come again.
In Flanders, at the winds football,
The crosses do not bend at all,
As wheat and barley used to do
Whenever wind went running through
The peoples wonder when they see
The crosses stand so rigidly!
o God, to whom all men must bring
What they have done. for reckoning,
At harvest time what byre or bin
Have you to put these crosses in?-
What word, for men who marched to
SOW
Not wheat, but crosses, row by row?
Alas, Our tears can never bring
The men who came here harvesting
And come no more! We do not know
What way the singing women go.
Their songs all still! But crosses
stand
Row after row in Flanders land!

A LETTER FROM A SOLDIER.

Old friends of the family and
school mates of the Cunningham
boys will be interested in the foil
owing letter written by Clel Cunn-
ingham to his mother from his post
near Honolulu.
First Infantry, Schofield Bar
racks, HawaiianTer, June 81, 1917.
Dear Mugs:
/ guess you think it is long
time beteen letters, but this is the
first chance l have had to write
since l left Fort Mcdowell. Well,
they loaded us on an. evil-smelling,
over-crowded transport and bro
ught us here. Ed. and l were both
sick the first day but were all right
the rest of the time. We left Frisco
at noon he 5th, and got to Honolulu
the morning of he 18th. We didn't
see any land between he two places
The weather was fine all the way.
This place is about 80 miles from
Honolulu. They brought us out
here on little bit of train small
est l ever saw. The rails were
about three feet apart and the
coaches were about ten feet high.
We saw lots of banana trees;
they are about six or eight feet
high, and the banans grow upside
down from the way you see them
in the stores. The sugar cane
fields are about like swaInps full of
flags or cattails, good and thick
and about ten feet high. There is
good deal of rice here, too. 1t
grows about Is inches high and it
takes about 400 rags, flags, scar
crows, wind-mills, etc. per acre to
keep the birds away; grows in the
mud and the Hawaiians get out
there bare footed with knee
breeches to harvest it.
They are keeping us under quar-
antine for a while to see whether
we have any diseases or not. Eds
address is same as mine. So long.
CLEL.
P. S. Expect to go to France
about the first of September.

JUST AN ENTHUSIAST"

We often hear the expression
when referring to another who has
waxed eloquent on some subject
near his heart: ooh, he is just an
enthusiast; you must not take him
too seriously"
Yes, just an enthusiast, but what
wonderful thing is enthusiasm!
Dead men have it not. 1t is the
exclusive possession of LIVE men,
of men of power, of dynamite force
1t is hard to imagine what this
life would be without enthusiasms.
Perhaps the warden of Sing Sing
would have clearer perception
than most people of a world devoid
of enthusiasm.
The quality we call enthusiasm
has done much for he world. Col
umbus had it, and he discovered a
continent. Fulton had it, and we
have the steam engine. The Wright
Brothers had it, and as rsult the
currents of he upper ether are al
most as well known as thos of the
deep. Marconi had it,and the wire
less has eliminated the elements of
distance on this earth. And what
shall we say of Edison, the greatest
enthusiast of them all? What would
be our condition today even with
out his enventions?
You call it genius. But who ever
knew a genius who was not an en-
thuiast on his hobby? What is a
genius, anyway, without enthus-
iasm? A mere visionary!
Be an enthusiast in your daily
business in municipal, state and ma
tional affairs. Be an enthuiast in
everything you undertake. And
above all enthusiastic in upholding
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1917-07-12

the government in its prosecution
of this war and in the end we will
reap the reward of the successful
enthusiast.
Enthusiasm is not a gift. 1t can
be acquired by any normal person.
1t does not take the place of will
power, but is the legitimate child OF
will. Given the desire to succeed,
enthusiasm can be cultivated, and
when once acquired its power is
limitless.
Enthusiasm is not the exclusive
dover of youth. Some of the
brightest minds of the world has
ever known has carried it down to
the Valley of the Shadows.
Neither is it the peculiar heritage
of genius, for many of the worlds
greatest benefactors have been peo-
pie of mediocre gifts, but obcessed
with burnonG enthusiasm for ac-
complishmcnt.
Therein lies the greatest lesson.
All may possess it, and with its
magic power no life need be fall
ure.
The strenuous days through
which we are passing call for un-
bridled enthusiasm.
Be an enthusiast! Only the dere
licts and failures will sneer.

sLACKERs NOW WINNERS

Those valent young Willies who
defied the government and refused
to register are now whining for
mercy. They are awaking to the
painful fact that the government
was not bluffing, and that in refus-
ing to register they signed their
own Jail sentences.
They find no sympathy form the
rest of the people, and when they
have completed their terms behind

the trenches, loyal Americans will
approve with grin from ear ear.

Third. That in passing the reso-
luton authorizing the purchase of
said Block II as hereinbefore de-
scribed, he acted recklessly in pro-
viding for the construction of a
court house at the present time
when this nation is involved in the
greatest known world-war, when
its men are required for military
duty and to produce crops for the
sustenance of the nation, its soldi-
ers and its allies, and at time
when ii is well known fact that
the cost of building is far in excess
of what it is at normal times and
there being no urgent necessity for
the construction of a new court
house at the present time and there
being ample and safe accommoda-
tions for the county business, and
this is particularly true in view of
the fact that said Thiemens, when
candidate for county commission
er, publicly announced, in both the
German and English language, that
he was not in favor of building a
new court house during his term of
service as county commissioner if
elected, and that said resolution is
a breach of faith with the voters of
the county who elected him and in
violation of his campaign pledges.

Labor conditions in EaStrn Wash
ington threaten the harvesting of !.
bumper grain crops of the state.
Striking /. w. WIS have caused an
industrial unrest in the agricultural
districts so that members of the
state council ofdefense which con-
Quoted three days inquiry into
conditions around Yakima deemed
it necessary to ask for federal
troops for protection of the wheat
fields. The investigation commit
tee composed of E. P. Marsh, chair
man of the council of defense
labor committee; Charles Hebberd,
of the food control committee; A.
L., Rogers, of the farm committee;
C. H. White, federal immigration
commissioner, and State Labor
Commissioner G.. HI. Younger de-
clare that the conditions are very
serious steps must be taken to
prevent an overt act which would
destroy crops or any part of the IT,
rigation systems of the districs.
The cities of the Northwest are
already beginning to feel the effect
of the war. In Seattle, for instance,
dozens of young men who were
stenographers or engaged in sim
liar work in business offices have
joined the colors with the result
that there has been an unpreced-
ented demand for women. Steno-
graphers who, a few weeks ago,
were receiving $50 a monh are now
in demand at wages ranging from
$65 to 800, and there is every indi-
/, cation that the supply will not
meet the demand. Then, too,the U.
s. Government with its vast
amount of extra work, occasioned
by war conditions is calling for
stcnographers at good wages and
il is estimated that close to one
hundred have already left Seattle
to accept positions with Uncle
Sam.
1t is evident that the days of
liquor are over at least so far as
the state of Washington is concern
ed. Under the law no more can be
imported with the result that
prices have taken an enormous
jump. Before the law went into
effect it is thought that close to
$4,000 worth of whiskey was i'm
ported by smart spectators who
paid about one dollar a quart for
! it and are now asking five and in
/ some instances ten dollars a quart.
The supply is not equal to the de
mand as yet owing to the fact that
the more daring spectators be-
lieve that in another three months
a quart of liquor will be worth
fifteen or. twenty dollars, ana they
propose to hold on to their supply
and take chances on gettinng these
enormous prices.
