SEEK TO DEVELOP
 SOUTH AMERICA

BnenOs Aires, July 15.-(Corre-
 spondence of the Associated Press. )-
 The potentialities of the republic of South America are engaging the close
 attention of the governments of more
 than one of the great powers as fr-
 ture fields for commercial and indus
 trial activity. The special British
 embassy under Sir Maurice de Bun
 sen has just visited Brazil, Uruguay,
 Argentina, Paraguay and Chile on a
 political mission and an Italian mis-
 sion with similar objects is now
 covering the same itinerary.
 Not long ago France sent out
 mission under Baudin. The Japanese
 have shown especial interest in South America, and especially Argentina, as vshown by the opening of a branch of
 the Yokohama Specie Bank. The
 South African Union has been rep
 resented here for several months by Ia trade commissioner who in a few
 months has achieved important com
 mercial results. Even the govern
 ment of Mexico has sent emissaries to Argentina and an increase in trade
 interchange between the two countries is already noticeable.
 |, It is to the United States, how
 ever, that pride of place must be as- signed in considering the enterprise displayed, in Argentina at least. in the matter of efficacious political and economic propaganda. Before the United States entered the war, cir cumstances had combined to favor and augment to phenomenal degree the American commercial relations with Argentina.
 Since the entrance of the United States into the war, the Americans have shown no sign of relaxing their determination to expand their com merce in South America. The
 branches of three important Ameri- Fcan banking institutions are conspicu- ous and practical symbols of the rap id advance of American trade with lArkentina, which the official sta tistics of both countries record. The political prestige of the United l States in South America is also main tained by the presence of a strong ISouth Atlantic squadron whose chief. EAdniral Capterton. has been credited
 by several local newspapers with pos- ksessing many of the essential quail ties of a diplomat.
 Across the river in Uruguay, the prestige of the United States has been Estill further augmented by the cor dial invitation given by the Washing |, ton government to Dr: Brum. minister of foreign affairs. and candidate Tor t the presidency, to visit the United States as the guest of the American
 government.

caped the attention of the powers that be, as witness recent arrangements made at Munster, Westphalia, where the service of the clergy has been en- listed by the official war food depart- ment to keeping down the growing popular discontent over the food diff faculties.
 Even the Rhenish Westphalian Ga zette, which gives publicity to this interesting piece of news, expresses fear that the last few months preced- ing the harvest will be an exceedingly trying time, and for this reason the war food department wishes to re- main in constant tdtlch with the mi nor clergy, so as to have the benefit of their observations among the peo- pie.
 With reference to this the Social istic VorWaerts prophetically ex- claims After the war there will be only two camps-war profiteers and out and out Socialists"

Y. w. c. A. OBTAINS
 ISLAND FOR GIRLS

Paris, July 31.-(Correspondence of The Associated ress.)-Providing for the recreation of thousands of American girls in the Labor Bureau of the American expeditionary forces, for hundreds of French girls and a host of British women, the Young Women's Christian Association has obtained the use of an island lying between two arms of the river Loirs, located at Toure, where the most ex- tensive activities of the Labor Bureau are congregated.
 The island has already been opened for the women and the activities have been placed in charge of Miss Esther Sleight, who before coming to France directed woman's recreation ground in Charleston, s. c. The Y. w. C. A. is arranging for recreation centers for the women of the army in Lyon, Bourges, St. Etienne and other cities.

 Flfer'S Best
 ''LandInark''
Rivers Are Easily Seen and Unmistakable. During
 the Night.

An American Airdrome in France, July 17. -(Correspondence of The Associated Press. )-Before leaving on long distance night raid the air men first prepare their maps with great care, marking on them the de- tailed course from the aerodome to their objective.
 By means of small balloon, whose speed direction and height is record ed an instrument on the ground, the force and direction of the wind at diff ferent attitudes is discovered, and the compass course, allowing for wind drift, is marked beside the course on the map. The compass course for the return journey is also marked. The speed of the machine is calculated, and on the line of the course a ser les of points are marked, showing where the machine should be every ten minutes, thus enabling the air men to check his progres and to know his approximate position if he gets lost.
 The airman climbs in circles above his areodrome until he has gained a sufficient height to start safely on his journey, and then turns his ma chine eastward, until his Illuminated compass shows that he is flying on the right course. Then he flies straight, taking care to avoid swerv- ing to right or left.
 At the same time he watches the country below for landmarks. As he crosses the lines he looks for some distinctive feature, such as the bend of canal, the dark mass of batter ed town, or the thin black thread of a railway. If he finds it, he knows he is on the right course.
 They he sees that river should ap- pear in few minutes. His watch shows that he has been flying forty minutes, and near the forty-five min ute mark on his map is twisted pale blue line. He looks ahead and sees in the moonlight silver streak and he knows he is making good time. When he is over the river he compares it's outline with his map, and sees that he is crossing it at the right place. He is forging steadily ahead to his des- tination. He sees the river and canals most clearly of all the landmarks in the nighttime. Water is unmistakable. The next most distinct object are woods and forests which appear like black patches, and their shape is usu- ally very distinct He sees the roads like thin white ribbons save where they are thickly bordered by trees.
 Railways are not so distinct and he cannot see them very far off, for they are likely microscopic black lines. Until he is directly over them he can not see the towns and villages, but he can see the rivers many miles off, and finds them the most reliable guide. of all. ...
 So, checking his compas with the landmarks and with the ever-reliable North Star, he arrives at his destina- tion after travelling many miles across unfamiliar country. He drops his bombs, and finds the returns, with frightened cargo, very much easier. There is a kind of "homing instinct" so airmen say, which takes them back quickly and directly with little difficulty"

British army varies widely under diff ferent circumstances. At garrison centers in France, the cookhouse is a large building shared by several units, and is under the charge of 8 sergeant t-ohef who has been through a special course in military cooking It is his duty to superintend person all all cooking done in the regimen tai cookhouse Each unit in it's turn, has a chief cook who is responsible for all the meals of his unit.
 Tn the field, however, the cOokhOuse is a thing of mushroom growth. When unit is on the march the simplest method of constructing a temporary kitchen is to place a number of ket- ties on the ground in two parallel rows, block the leeward end of the passage thus formed with another ket- tie and light fire in this improvised trench. As soon as the fire has been started, rle or two rows of kettles can be placed on top of those already in position.
 If they stay at a particular spot is likely to be for any appreciable length of time, good field kitchen is impro- vised by digging marrow trench for the fires. and placing the camp ket- ties above this. Sometimes a chim- ney is build of sods.
 For stay of three or four days, regular "field ovens" are constructed. An arch of sheet iron is erected and on top of this layer of clay is piled. With this oven it is possible to give the men roast meat for dinner as of
