TRADE DEVELOPING
Between Argentine Republic and South
Africa Now.

Buenos Aires, July correspondence
of the Associated Press).-A very i'm
portant commercial intercourse has de-
yeloped within the last few months be-
tween the Argentine Republic and South
Africa. This is all the more striking be-
cause there was not enough trade be-
tween the two countries year ago to be
worth mentioning.
When direct line Of Japanese steam
ships was inugurated between Yokohama
and Buenos Aires, calling at Cape Town,
the South African government sent a
trade commissioner to Buenos Aires and
within very short time he succeeded in
inaugurating flow of business in both
directions that is rapidly assuming large
proportions.
This commissioner then returned to
South Africa to continue his work there
and has just come back to Buenos Aires
again to supervise the important trans
actions which, by his initiative, are now
taking place between the two countries.
The volume of business which these
transactions represent at this stage al
ready exceeds S500,000.
The goods now being exported to South
Africa are such as to have aroused inter-
est and surprise among Argentines. For
example, the South African Union either
has imported or is in the act of importing
1850 tons of steel rails and accessories,
valued at &300,000; $4,000 pairs of shoes,
valued at fl5,000; slaughter house by
products, such as bonemeal, dried blood,
etc, valued at fl6,000; leather to the
value of more than fS0,000; 10000 casks
of linseed oil; 10000 cases of canned
meats, valued at f45,000; locally manu-
factured chemical products, mattress
wire, and between 700 and 500 tons of
wheat. South Africa also is buying $780,
900 Argentine hardwood railway ties.
But the trade is not all one way Ar
gentina has recently taken from South
Africa hessians to the value of 100000,
ostrich feathers valued at 92,500, tea,
lucerne seed, wines, brandy and gin, as
well as coal in considerable quantities.
Two cargoes of South African coal have
arrived here within the last few days,
and more is on the way. This coal has
been thoroughly tried on the railways
and is giving entire satisfaction, SO that
it probably viii form one of the principal
articles Of trade between the two coun-
tries in the future.
1t is of particular interest to note the
growth of Argentine industries to an
extent that permits of the export on a
comparatively large scale of manufac-
tured goods, such as boots and shoes, and
semi-manufactured goods such as leather.
The market for Argentine shoes and
leather in South Africa appears to be ex-
cellent. Already Argentine representa-
tives of these industries have visited or
are visiting South Africa on behalf of
their factories, with satisfactory business
results.

BUSY RECLASSIFYING.
Washington County Local Board Has
Taken Up Many Cases.

The local board of exemption has COM
pleted stiff weeks work in the classifi
cation of new registrants and the re-
classification of those recently ordered
reviewed by the war department. It is
yet too early to state how many men
will 60 into class one as a result of their
efforts, but at least S5 per cent of the
PAS new registrants win go into that
class. There are probably less than
half dozen persons who have not re-
turned their questionnaires. There are
some appeals to the district board, nat
urally, both by the government and by
the men registrants, but these numbers
are not yet checked through. The medi-
cal examination of the new registrants
will commence next Tuesday, and it will
probably require couple of days for
that
All of the men who have been reclassi
fedsby the board will also have to be re-
examined, so that there will be at least
another days examination of these men,
who are also called for next week. Many
of the questionnaires have gone to the
district board for final classification upon
the reclassifcations.
Probably Wednesday the 9s men who
will go from this county to Burlington
and Springfield, Mass, viii get their no.
tees. The 65 who go to Burlington are
practically known, but there are changes
each day in these because of reclassifca
tious, which give men rights TO their po-
sition in offering their services. Some Of
the new registrants will probably go TO
Springfield, and about IL have already
signed self induction papers.

GERMAN SOCIALIST
nv BITTER ATTACK
Told the Reichstag That Unless Militar-
ism Is Overcome There Can Be No
Lasting Peace.

Amsterdam, July GA bitter attack
on the German peace with Rumania and
on militarism was made in the debate in
the Reichstag Thursday by the Socialist
leader, DIR. Cohn, according TO the Rhein-
ische Westfalesche Zeitung of Essen.
"We reject the Rumanian treaty." he
said. like the Ukrainian treaty, it will
not produce real peace. The Rumanian
Jews still lack rights. This treaty is
nothing but bartering for petroleum and
railways.
"The treaty is nothing but disguised,
perhaps undisguised, robbery"
Here the president called upon DR..
Cohn to observe moderation in his re-
marks. After further discussion, DIR.
Cohn exclaimed:
Unless militarism is overcome we
cannot obtain lasting peace"

AMERICANS REFUSED RAID ON XIVRAY,
THE FOE FAILING COMPLETELY TO REACH
DETECTIVES PLANNED FOR THE ATTACK
ALLIES HAVE CAPTURED
5000 MEN IN WEEK
tBv the Associated Press


Successful allied thrusts in local
actions have not yet drawn from
the enemy resumption of his
strong offensive movements but
there is little doubt that another
German blow is in the making.
Germany's offensive, begun on
March 2l, is not completed and the
Germans have yet to win a strate-
gically vital point, Another strong
effort, probably greater than any
this year, has been awaited by the
allies for several weeks. General
Foch has employed the past week
or more successfully by improving
his positions at various points
along the main front, American,
British and French troops helping
in taking valuable ground and
more than 5000 prisoners from the
enemy.
Except north of Albert, where
the Germans regained some ground,
the enemy has not been successful
in attempted counter attacks. In
several instances no effort was
made to dislodge the allies from
their gains along the Somme, north
of the Aisne and between the
Aisne and the Marne.
Australian and American forces
hold strongly TO the recent gains
south of the Somme and the
French are improving the ground
recently taken north of the Aisne.
The strongest enemy artillery fire
is being directed against other sec
tors than these, namely, southwest
of Ypres and south of the Aisne.
General Foch probably will con
tinue to harrass the enemy in
minor operations, but the belief il
held by some military observers
that he might surprise the German
command by striking in force at a
vital point, His manpower is in
creasing and his artillery and
aerial forces predominate over the
same services on the enemy side.
In the past week British airmen
alone have accounted for 1906 Ger
man machines, while 50 Of their
own failed to return.
Fighting activity on the Italian
front is becoming more general but
is not very severe at any one
point. Near the mouth of the
Piave the Italians have gained
ground further and taken 400 more
prisoners. Between the Brenta
and the Piave, on the mountain
front, the Italians have made
slight advance and repulsed enemy
efforts Austrian attacks on the
Asiago plateau, west Of the Bren-
Ia, were broken up by the Italians
Another American transport has
been sunk by German submarine
while returning from Europe, The
vessel remained afoat for several
hours and only six men are miss.

ing the food regulations by eating house
owners occurred in the Office of the state
food administration in Montpelier yes.
terday afternoon when John Bassett
owner of the Bassett cafe in Essex juno
tion, admitted that he had twice broken
the regulations, although he tried in each
case to turn the responsibility to some
one else. Mr.. Bassett was fined $40
which he agreed to send to the food Office
in Montpelier to-day, to be turned over
to the Red Cross. Upon receipt of that
check, Executive Secretary Elmer john
son stated that in view of Bassett's i'm
provement in following the regulations

Mr.. johnson, who presided over the
hearing, stated that two charges had
been made against Bsssett for breaking

responsibility for that on the women
help, but it did not go with the food Off
cials, and w. A. Wood explained he spent
some time in Mr.. Bassett's kitchen to
tell him about the regulations He also
left a marked copy of the regulations,
which Mr.. Bassett stated he understood
as we'll as Mr.. Wood. Later another
complaint was received that Mr.. Bassett
was serving more than the allotted
amount Of two ounces of bread allowed

Mr.. Bassett endeavored to justify him
self in doing that by claiming that
patrons came into his place, telling him
that they could get more than one sand
wich at other places and that the boy
who called for the six sandwiches on the
day named seemed to be poor boy.
Under pressure he admitted that he had
broken the regulations
Mr. johnson stated that he did not be.
lieve in working hardship and that he
was going to recommend to the federal
Office that the mans license be continued
in force, providing that Mr.. Bassett paid
$40 to the Red Cross Mr.. Bassett de-
INJURED at this and wanted to argue the
matter but Mr. johnson said that in view
of complaints and the case in general
that he would let it stand at 500, to be
paid by Saturday.
w. A. Wood stated in the afternoon
that he had secured evidence against
other restaurant keepers and that he had
presented the material to Mr.. johnson in
case in which hearing win be given
shortly. There have been some com.
plants from this section Of the state.

BRITISH CASUALTIES
FOR WEEK 1885
Total Was Considerably Less Than the
Average During the Recent
Heavy Fighting.

London, July 6.-British casualties re-
ported during the week ending to-day

The losses were divided as follows:
Killed or died of wounds: Officers, l40;
men, 1885,
Wounded or missing: Officers, 4l3;
men, l4,lS7.

week ago, and during May and June,
when the effects of the heavy German at
tscks on the British front were making
themselves felt in the casualty lists.
