We read, talk and think so much
about the activities of U-boats, the
fuel situation, railway CONGESTION
governmental wartime restrictions
and the unprecedented demand for
shipping, that the splendid achieve
ments accomplished in export trade
in the year since we broke with Ger
many and went on war footing. are
often overlooked, says the American
Exporter (New York; in it's current
issue.
In spite OF all the handcaps and
readjustments OF war, here are some
Of the really astonishing results ac.
conplished in 1917:
Exports in 1917 $7I6,OOO, 900
greater than ever before.
Shipments in December largest for
any month on record with one excep-
ton.
Total shipping cleared from U.S.A.
for foreign ports actually greater
than in 1915.
Value Of exports carried in Ameri-
can ships nearly three times as great
as in 1915.
Exports to Latin-America greater
than in any previous year. Even be-
fore the government took over and
accelerated the nations shipbuilding,
more shipping was being built here
than the total built in all the world
in any year prior to 1912.
The shipping boards program calls
for building more shipping than
Great Britain and Ireland built In
six years before the war.
The total loss Of American ships
by submarines only 69 vessels as
against 1910 new vessels requisi-
toned or contracted for.
1t Is pointed out that every dol
lars worth OF American merchandise
exported to Latin-America, Oceania,
Africa or Asia at this time serves a
three-fold purpose Of the highest
moment to the national interest.
First: 1t serves as an exchange for
an equal value Of goods imperatively
necessary to us in the conduct Of the
war.
We cannot wage war without sugar
from Cuba and Java, nitrates from
Chile, coffee from Brazil, copper
from Chile and Peru, jute from In
dia, hides from Argentina, Brazil and
China; wool from Argentina, South
Africa, Australia and New Zealand;
rubber from Brazil, India and Dutch
East indies; manganese from Bra
I'll, vegetable oils from Africa, and
many other articles from many other
markets.
Second: 1t saves us the necessity
of exporting gold to pay for these
imperatively required articles.
TO export gold would be to reduce
the base Of the entire credit struc-
ture OF all the nations under arms
against tho central powers.
For our purchases from South
America alone we must pay $780,
100000 year
Third: 1t maintains during and
after the war American trade in mar
kets not affected by the sacrifices,
'axations and establishments to which
our own domestic market, like that
Of all the warning nations, Is now
subject.

VALUABLE FIND
 OF GEMS MADE
 BY SAM FELD0N
Leather Pouch Picked Up in Which Were Con- tained Consider
 ape JeWeIrl

Sam Feldon, proprietor of the Cap ital Coffe House, made a valuable find yesterday in the First National Bank when he found a leather pouch containing several valuable rings So far no one has appeared to claim the property and Sam is wondering what to do with all the jewelry.
 Among the rings was one with large settings of rubies which alone undoubtedly cost the owner a tidy sum. The cost of the entire collec- tion of rings would amount to sev- eral hundred dollars as there are also diamonds present. An accurate description of the find would make "anyone's mouth water" says Mir Feldon, but he is afraid to tell too much about them for fear someone other than the owner might attempt to establish, a claim.
 It is possible that the owner was one of the shipwrecked passengers from the ill-fated Evans and may nave left Juneau before discovering the loss.

62 Can a taxpayer claim a deduc tion for his own remuneration? Wages or salary drawn by a tax payer from his own business are more in the nature of a charge and prof it's than charge against profits If such could be deducted they would merely be added to his income, the effect of which would be to take money out of one pocket and put 1t in another. Therefore no deduction poses.
 (Note-Any such wage or salary may be entered on Form 1040, re vised January, 1918, for excess-prof- it's tax purposes)
