CIVIL WAR

Love OF country is not an emotion
that can be uprooted by law. mol
should we expect the German who
has come to our shores to hate the
land OF his birth. He should and
must, however, place loyalty to and
love Of America before that of Ger
many.
The German in America who really
loves his fatherland and who cares
for its, best interests is one Of the
strongest factors In the Allied cause
An intelligent devotion to his coun-
try's welfare calls forth the desire to
see Germany come into the heritage
OF the Twentieth Century-universal
brotherhood.
II is this brotherhood that the kali
ser Is fighting. The German who is
loyal to the good Of Germany. rather
than merely to the government OF
Germany, is self-obligated to take up
arms against the kaiser, to take up
arms in defense Of Germany. To him
It is civil war, and he enlists in the
army that will save the ideals for
which his fathers gave their lives and
which are threatened by Prussianism.

Chile ESTABLISHES
U.S.DOLLAR EXCHANGE
Duties on Nitrate Basis for New
Arrangement.

The Chilean government, it has
just been learned, has adopted a
plan whereby part of the export
duties on nitrate of soda may be
paid in approved 90-day sight bills
on New York drawn in United
States dollars This plan was sub
mitted to the Pan-American Finan-
cial Conference held at Washington
in May, 1915, by Leopold Fredrick.
director of the American Smelling
and Refining Company, and treas
urer of the Braden and Chile Cop
per Companies.
Formerly such export duties on
nitrate were payable only in gold
and in bills on London.
The acceptance of Mr.. Frederick's
suggestion by the Chilean authori-
ties is one of the first practical re-
suits of the Pan-American Financial
Conference. This plan means the
firm establishment of dollar ex-
change in Chile. Mr.. Frederick says
that the American Smelling. Bra
den and Chile companies have sold
in the last three years about $780,
600. 900 OF drafts on New York. For
merly all this financing was done
via London. American nitrate i'm
ports in 1917 totaled $60.000.oo0.
