Tributes by British and French observers to the accuracy ani volume of American machine gun fire have been noted with particular gratiei- cation.

AMERICA BEGINS ID PROTECT TRADE
 ID FOLLOW WAR Recent Economic Alliances of Central Powers Have Made Step Necessary MISSION TO ITALY
 IS THE FIRST STEP Italians Will Need Large Financial Aid to Prevent Them From Again Com
 ing Under German
 Domination

Washington. June 5-what may be the first step in a general policy of more active participation by the United States in preparations of the nations at wal with Germany for the after-the-wai trade struggle has been taken in the appointment of an economic repressn- tative of the state department to join the American embassy at Rome It was learned today that the new envoy is about to proceed to his post
 Though the recommendations of the Paris economic conference never have been formally accepted by the United States, which in the past has viewed with disfavor attempts to interpose artificial Instructions to free commerce, even with former enemies, recent de- velopments in Europe have led to con- ferences here between representatives of the entente powers and officials Of the state department and the war trade board, which may result in complete change of the attitude.
 CENTRAL POWERS TREATIES
 The attention of the war trade board has been directed sharply to the far reaching effect of the new treaty or alliance which has been negotiated be- tween Germany and AuStria-Hungary. This convention is soon to be followed by similar arrangement linking Ger many and Austria with Turkey and Bull garia, not only for military purposes, but with the design of dominating the world industrially and commercially. Gigantic schemes have been drawn fot the control a of c11pr of raw materials upon which industries are based, generally at the expense of Ger~ manys present enemies whom the Teu- tonic rulers hope to force to accept peace treaties conceding this control.
 The entente powers and America, as the plan has been explained, would be excluded from the markets of this Nit tel-Europa combination, but on the other hand would be forced to buy Gernanic products at prices to be fixed by tho makers.
 So the American officials have been told that the instinct of self-preserva- tion dictates that some arrangements be made hetw cen the entente allies amt America to protect them from this r1enacc and insure mutual aid and as- sistance, not only through financial loans and credits, but by special tariff arrangements insuring their supplies of raw material against German control and looking tc the free exchange of this material between the nations which have made the fight against Germanic world domination.
 BEGIN WITH ITALY
 Making beginning with Italy, re- arranging the American system of short credits on more generous scale ana planning future continuous supplies or raw material in return for Italian products il is expected that the Unitsi States government soon will extend the policy to other countries associated Ill the war.
