TROUBLE FOR CHILE

Chilean businessmen are much concerned over the prospects of a commercial war in South America at the conclusion of the peace nego tiations and have petitioned the national government to adopt pro- tective measures which will prevent "dumping" in Chilean markets.
 The petition was made by the Camara Industrial de Chile, which corresponds to industries as cham bers of commerce do to commerce. The "camara" asserts in its petition that Chilean manufacturers will have to use high priced labor and i'm ported raw materials and will be un- able to compete against Humping" methods which had begun to be a menace to Chilean industries even before the war.
 The chamber informs the govern ment that the coming commercial war will be carried on by the big manufacturing nations by fixing ex- port prices so low that even after freight and expense are paid, the goods can be sold in Chile and other South American republics at what they cost to manufacture. while high prices at home will compensate for the loss. Such methods, asserts the chamber, will ruin Chilean in dustries.
 The chamber has suggested that the government adopt the method which it says has been tried ir Canada and New Zealand, whereby surtax above normal tariff duties is imposed on all goods based on the difference between price quoted fol the imported goods and the sale price of the same goods in the coun try of origin.
 The suggestion of the Chilean chamber is receiving widespread newspaper comment in all the othe South American republics, wher it is being urged that the exampl be followed.

Living conditions in the South Seas are quite the opposite to the popular idea conveyed in books of romance and adventure, writes a correspondent of the Associated Press, from Papeete, Tahiti.
 Instead of being able to loll under the shade of palms and having the fruits therof drop into ones mouth, the daily needs only are obtainable through the medium of hard toll. Living, if one desires to live accord ing to the standards of the white man, is as expensive as in any other part of the world.
 According to those who have lived there for some time, "it is the last place in the world for man with out capital to come" Consular officers have a regular form warn ing all inquirers against attempting to settle there unless provided with ample funds, as there are but few opportunities for obtaining employ ment

Draft registrants arriving at Camp Lewis from Montana, Idaho, Wyom- ing, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada and other inland states have better teeth than men from the coast states of Washington, Oregon and California, according to data com piled by c. R. Wolven, chief of the dental corps.
 'Eighty-five per cent of all draft men brought here need dental at tention, and get it." reported Col Wolven. Ninety per cent of the men from the three coast states need work, however, against 80 per cent of those coming from the interior states.'
 No reason for the variance in the condition of the teeth of men from different sections has been given. One theory is that there is more lime and mineral in the water of the inland states and another that the shifting population of the large coast cities may cause men to become more neglectful than those living at permanent homes.

R|NGS1ER
 LUMb{RJACK NOW

to obtain a penny of the fortune he won in the ring, Ad Wolgast, former lightweight champion, is act ing as hostler to decrepit motor boat, somewhere in the northern Wisconsin timber country, where he is trying to regain his health.
 The Michigan bear-cat, who leap ed into prominence almost over night, disappeared several months ago and was not heard from until he communicated recently with friends in Milwaukee to announce that he had job.
 Wolgast shares with Bat Nelson the distinction of being among the few remaining fighting champions. Unlike Nelson, who owns half the town of Hegeswich, H., and con trols the other half, Wolgast is vir- tua1ly penniless, his fortune-ap- proximately O,OOO-being in GUS tody of his mother and his wife, who are in Cadillac, Mich.
 In his letter advising friends of his espousal of industry, Wolgast said he planned to go even farther into the woods for the winter and become lumber jack. He hinted that he hoped through the strenuous life of a timber cutter to regain his health and return to the ring. This. however. is considered un- likely.
 Wolgast started his ring career as pork and beaner' in Mill waukee. He wrecked the champion ship dreams of number of promis- ing lightweights and finally was awarded a try at the title in 1910. Nelson and Wolgast met at Point Richmon, Cal, and their battle prob ably will remain ring epic as i long as the fight game flourishes. 1 It marked the climax of a series of premier championship bouts in the 1 lightweight division, and Nelson's wonderful exhibition with the late !! Joe Cans still were fresh in the memory of the fans.
 The fight was probably one of the bloodiest ever staged. At the end of forty rounds Wolgast's youth had won and the Durable Dane
 was beaten.
 For two year Wolgast capitalized
 on his championship, taking or
 claimants over short routes through
 out the East and West. He los his title to Willie Ritchie, San Fran
 cisco pretender, in 10 rounds 1T Ritchie battered Wolgas badly and the bearcat fouled him
 Referee Griffin awarding the bou to the California claimant.
 Following his defeat Wolgast at
 tempted to stage several comeback
 but never got within striking dis
 tance of the title.
 A year ago. Wolgast suffered {
 physical breakdown and was sen
 to a Milwaukee sanitarium, wher'
 he was restored to comparative
 health. Following his release iron the hospital he disappeared, and n' word came from him until receipt O the message that the had become a fresh water sailor. '.-.. ..

FORMER HEAD OF
 LOCAL HOSPITAL
 WRITES OF WORK

Dr. Malcolm E. Smith, formerly chief surgeon of the A. E. C. in Nenana, writing to Dr. David More under date of October Sth, from Camp Fremont, Palo Alto, Cal, tells of the strenuous times he is hav- ing in taking the special training to fit him for overseas service. He says he is obliged to get up at 80 every morning to get ready for early morning drill, after which the usual routine of the base hospital work commences, the days work ending at about 10 p. m., including Sundays.
 Dr. Smith was detailed for medi- cal service ever since he arrived at the base hospital, and says that he has done no surgical work at all. He was detailed on this branch of the service on account of a shortage of men in that branch At the time of writing, Dr. Smith had charge of three wards with 56 men in each ward and three doctors under him as assistants.
 Dr. Smith says that he tackled the major commanding the unit for a transfer to surgical outfit then forming for overseas service, but owing to the prevalence of the in fluenza epidemic, the camp was in quarantine and no changes were to be made until the quarantine was lifted, and so he was out of luck again. He was, however, told off to Base Hospital No. 95 for overseas service and expected to be sent across and "Over There" as soon as the quarantine had been lifted. The hard training he had to undergo to make him fitted for overseas service has left him weighing 166 pounds, as hard as nails and very fit, he says. .:-.-: The good folk of Nenana had in tended making him a present of a sabre, but he says he found on reach ing the training camp that officers in the medical corps were not re, quired to wear sabres. Mr Hubbacf sent him the money which was tc go towards the purchase of the sabre and wished him to procure anything else he may desire and, he says, he invested in a regulation army re volver with leather holster and { Corona typewriter and wished tt thank the people of Nenana for thu gift.
 The watch which was presented to him at Nenana shortly before hi departure has been invaluable t, him., he says, and is a constant re hinder of the friends he left be hind in the North. ..-
 In accordance with army regu lations, all watches had to be tested and he says that his watch showed a variation of only II seconds week, which was as nearly perfec as any watch could possibly be. H
 is not allowed by the regulation
 to wear the fob given him at tn time, but says that he has put i away to be used when he leaves tn service.
 Dr. Smith likes the North countr, and the Alaskans and sends kin, greetings to all of his Nenana friend
 among whom he wishes he was bac1 again. He says that nearly every
 body at Camp Fremont knows tha
 there is such a place as Nenana an'
 that he comes from there.
 At the time of writing, Dr. Smtl
 says that Max Smith and Harr Abercrombie were at Camp Ere mont. Harry was trying hard t
 get into the same base hospital a

Washington, Nov. l5.-Squadrons

mander that reached each pilot by
radio telephone. ~.
News of the successful develop
ment of this device, hitherto a mill
tary secret, though some irikling of
it had reached the Germans just be-
fore hostilities ceased, was allowed
to become public today by John D.
Ryan, director of aircraft produe-
ton.
"There are some details concern
ing it which we cannot. discuss yet"
Mr.. Ryan said, "but the radio de-
vices worked out during months of
experiment went into actual service
some weeks ago. I have, myself,
standing on the ground, given or
ders to a squadron flying in the air,
ano watched them maneuver accord
ingly. The transmission of the voice
is clear enough to be heard dis
tinctly through the sound of the air
plane motor. 1t is in every way the
most satisfactory means of COM
municating between planes in the
air and from the ground to planes"
