PLAN OF RAN-AMERIeAN
 COMMERCIAL EXPANSION
Causing Lively Interest in Industrial
 Circles in Buenos Aires.

Buenes Aires, April 22.-Anneunee- nent that the United States Is prepar- ing plan of Pan-Arnerican eommer- cial expansion has caused a lively in terest in all commercial and industrial circles here and has been the cause of some anxiety on the part of Italian in- terests which hope to retain their i'm portant position in Argentina's foreign commerce.
 Italians here have hintei at the pes- sibility of deep American penetration which, because of the immense finan- ciai power of the United States. might paralyze all the efforts that Italian industry and commerce hope to be able to obtain in a free and competi- tive field,
 One of the leading economic jour- nals of Italy has touched on this theme ill an article entitled ''Italy and Ar gentina After the War" The writer asserts that while Italian trade has been hindered by the war, that of oth- CT countries, and notably the United States, has been considerably favored
 With their usual decision. says this writer, the Americans have entered Argentina firm in their intention of beating all competitors, and are spar ing no means that may help them to their end Brasch banks have been opened, the possibilities of opening up neW shipping facilities are under con- sideration and diplomatic and consul lar relations have been strengthened Pan-Americanism, according to this writer, is being used as means to an end. La PEensa, one of the most | important dailies south of the Panama canal took exception to this remark, [, stating that Argentine has not yet seen any signs of such proposed in- vasion by the United States. The pa- per suggested Italy could keep ahreas. | Of United States business men by using the game methods they have used, the close studying Of conditions and the despatch of commissions and | delegates to maintain cordial relations between the two countries.
 La Prense. then expressed the belief that has existed among American bus mess men in this city for some time, | that Ia, that American commerce must develop considerably ere 1t can be locked upon as firmly planted here and that thfg applies both to its credit sys- tenn and to it's general methods of pro- ceaure. At the beginning of the war
 Argentina 4zas forced to look to the United States for many articles needed here but Argentine business men say
 experience has shown that the Ameri. cAn metnoGs must DC enanSed radical ly if the Americans are to retain ever
 the business they have already ae- quired.
 Alleged poor quality, naisRepresenta
 ton, careless shipping and almost i'm
 possible credit requirements have beer

 and to American commercial organiza

Johnston, Jackson vile, Florida, that he has been pro- noted to the rank of quartermaster sergeant. This is an important post for the army, no matter how we'll ieduipped with guns and ammunition, cannot fight a. battle if their stomachs are empty, and the quartermaster's di- vision is that of providing food in ade- quate amounts for the men.
 Mir. Shippee was in a company of two hundred and thirty to take inten- sive training for this department, and out of this, entire company only twelve were selected for the work. of which MT. Shippee was one. His reported average in the studiesf which they were obliged to take, was given as ninety seven. Another homo. was ae- corded the local boy in being selected as one of fourteen from the camp to have in charge the distribution and sale of Liberty bonds in and around Jacksonville. He reports every one enthusiastic and doing their bit in the sunny south. It has given him an ex- eelieHl 9oPpOIIaIlty to .Bet III contact with the business men and bankers of the southern city and his experience in our local bank has given him an unusual opportunity for service in. this line of work.
