NEW YORK, May l.--That our al
lies in Europe have trebled their pur-
chases from the United States and that
the world s neutral nations have been
compelled to call upon this country TO
supply the manufactured merchandise
which they were accustomed to obtain
from the factories of Europe is asserted
by the National City Bank, which re-
ports that American merchandise is
forming a greatly increased share In
the imports of all the grand divisions
of the world.
A compilation by that institution
shows that merchandise from the
United States now forms a much larger
percentage Of the imports of all the
grand divisions than prior to the war,
while in the case of South America
our share of the imports III 1917 was
actually three times as great as in
1913 and four times as great as In
1910. The report says further:
" Manufactures were formerly the
chief exports of the now belligerent
countries of Europe and manufactures
are the chief imports of all the neutral
countries of the world. When the man
ufacturing countries of Europe found
it necessary to turn their factories in

or to supply manufactures to the non
manufacturing world was greatly re-
duccd. The bank s figures show that
manufactures normally form more than
- per cent of the imports of South
America, Asia, Africa and Occania
and that in all those sections of the
world merchandise from the United
States is now forming a larger per

SIDNEY GR|CC HAS
A CLOSE CALL

The sinking of the Tuscania 3ailed
to destroy the nerve of Sidncy H.
Grigg, son of Mrs. N. E. Grigg, Of
sd North Park avenue, who was on
board it at the time, for all he says
regarding that world famous event
in the first letter he has since written
his mother, is that "the transport we
were on was torpedoed," that the
troops were landed in Ireland by
torpedo boat destroyers and that it
was thrilling experience"
Grigg is a member of Company D.
goth Engineers, and is we'll known
in Helena and Lewis and Clark
county where he has many friends.
1t is probable that the censorship
rules forbid his giving description
of the sinking of the Tuscania. He
is now enjoying the sights III Ire
land and says that he is in the best
of health. The letter follows:
II am in a small port in Ireland.
Guess you will be surprised to hear
from me in Ireland, and to tell you
the truth, you are no more surprised
than l am myself, however.
"The transport we were on was
torpedoed off the cosast of Ireland,
and the troops were landed in Ire
land by torpedo boat destroyers.

The Quest

To bid fond adieu
Unto your native shore,
With one great aim in view
To learn the arts Of war;
To spend long, weary hours
In dull routine and drill;
To use your latent powers,
Toward gaining martial skill;
To steel your heart and nerve
Against the day of wrath,
Nor for an instant swerve
From Duty's shining path;
To face the hour of strife
With ardent, eager zest-
This is the soldiers life
This is his golden quest.
