THE MANNING TIMES.

Victory bread is 80 per cent wheat
flour and 20 per cent substitutes.
Mr.. Hoover's Thanks 10 Americans
Mr.. Hoover said in his cable:
"In releasing the hotels, restau-
rants, clubs and dining cars from
their pledge not to use wheat in any
form until the new harvest, I wish
to congratulate them upon the patri-
otic example they set and thank them
for the large savings made. The echo
Of their service has been heard in
Europe and has pointed the way Of
Idemocracy-the most service of those
who have the most to give.
ut has been a personal inspiration
to me to have the continued help, SO
freely given, of all the men and wo-
men who put through the mo wheat
campaign which helped us to provide
for the necessities Of the allies in
spite of our short crop.
II have confidence that the same
spirit will enable us to build up the
great reserve Of wheat and other
foods needed to provide against fu-
ture crop failure and to assist the al
lied nations in putting through the
great offensive that must win the
war"
Estimate of Saving
About five thousand hotel men gave
the wheatless pledge, and it is cst-
mated that they, with the dining cars
and clubs and other public eating
places saved from October 1, 1917, to
Auguts I. 1918, between 5000 900
and 200.000,000 pounds of wheat and
its products, 100000 pounds Of
meats and 50,000,000 pounds of sugar
With the householders who allied
themselves in the wheatless move
ment they accumulated a reserve of
14O, 100000 bushels of wheat which
was sent to Europe.
The hotels and dining cars have
taken the open sugar bowl from their
tables and are limiting sugar ser
vice to patrons to two half Jumps or
one teaspoonful of granulatcd for each
meal. This keeps safely within the
new ration Of two pounds per person
Il month.

ish-speaking American nations to
unite for their common advantage.
The argument closes with the
statement that the league of nations
is a hopeless dream.
Another paper urges that this
Latin-American union should not
be merely an economic union, but
one for common defense and Of
tense.
"In time Of peace" it argues,
1--WE must prepare for war. The
passive defense of the frontiers of
Spain and the South American re-
publics is not enough against the
powerful nations, especially against
those which rule the seas, but a
close defensive union Of Spain
and the South American republics
would be sufficient against any
aggression.
1--WE should adopt an active Of
fensive attitude rather than a
passive defensive one.
"The united navies of Spain and
South America could present an
effective resistance to any aggres-
sion and would put an end to the
imperialism of the larger nations
so far as their ambitions in South
America are concerned"

JAPANESE MADE

THE total am ,aIs invested in all
these securities reached about
$57a,s0C,0 900 at the end of 1917,
incluaiLg 1896 coo 900 in British
government bonds, $77,500,000 in

Russian bonds. To this should
be added $110,000,000 represent
ing the Japanese foreign loan
bonds and company d%ebentures re-
deemed in foreign markets.
Japan's sea-borne trade was
greatly effected at the beginning
of the war, says the report, but
her export trade afterward became
very brisk. There was a pro-
nounced increase in Japan's ship
ments to nearby markets and to
the south seas to take the place of
commodities that had ceased to
be shipped from Europe. This
especially conspicuous as re-
CARDS China, where there was a
large demand for Japanese goods.
Larger shipments of munitions
and food sent to the allies in
creased the volume of exports. In
1917 thees amounted to 1901, $780,
900, an increase of $237,760,O0 O
over 1916. Japan's imports for
1917 were $517, 100000, $780,
100000 more than 1916.
The excess of exports over i'm
ports in 1917 was $2S3, 500 900,
an increase of SO per cent over
this balance of trade in 1916. This
apparently has paved the way for
an expansion of Japan's industries
and trade in the future, said the
report.

MRS.. ASTOR TELLS
OF WORK DONE
IN FRANCE

NEW YORK, Dec. 10. - How
American women in France helped
to tighten the cares of the Ameri-
can soldiers, feeding them sweets,
cooking for them, dancing with
them and meanwhile washing dish
es and scrubbing floors, was told
by Mrs. Vincent Aston, who re-
turned today from IS months SER
vice in canteen welfare work.
Mrs. Aston said: "The soldiers
showed complete gratitude and
courtesy to every American wo-
man and this made it intensely
pleasant to do things for them.
EVERY few nights we gave a
dance, usually with about 20 wo-
men to divide between several
men and once with eight women
and 1000 soldiers. Every two
minutes we gave a signal to change
partners and the result was that
every couple had possibly 20 men
following, waiting for the next
dance.
There was no distinction be-
tween officers and men at such
dances"

FOUGHT IN S.A.
BY TtUT0NS

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 19.-Ger-
man efforts to encourage the much
discussed Latin-American union be-
tween Spain and the Spanish-speak-
ing republics of Central and South
America as a weapon against pan
Americanism came to light in the
German-inspired articles that ap-
peared in connection with the OBJ
servance of 1.-The day of the race"
as the Spanish-speaking people des-
ignate the discovery of the Amer
icas.
The Argentine newspapers and
weekly magazines carried special
articles pointing out the advan-
tage of a union that would make
the Spanish-speaking nations in
dependent of all others. Several
of these were signed by men who
are known for their pro-German
sympathies. 1t was also notice
able that the articles appearing In
the purely German newspapers
were even more insistent in sup
porting such a union than the Ar
gentine papers.
This union with Spain was pro-
posed first from Spanish sources
nearly two years ago and it was
suspected then, from it's a~ntipathy
to pan-Americanism, that German
schemes were behind the move. The
proposal has been kept alive In
this country ever since by pro-
Germans and Spaniards who have
made no attempt to hide the fact
that their efforts are directed
against the United States.
The principal argument is that
South America must be protected
from American imperialitss. Spain is
pointed to as the great other
country that can supply all the
needs and at the same time the
sympathetic understanding that
comes from a common language
and common religion. The Spanish
clergy is aiding the propagandists
in their campaign.
One of the articles published to-
day stated that the war had
brought about new forms of inter-
national friendship and that this
friendship in the future will be
based on mutual gain and advan-
tages.
Questions of language, race and
religion, 1t adds, may sew the seeds
of new differences tomorrow and
1t therefore behooves the 20 Span
