JUST THOUGHTS

Lots of people seek Opportun,tv--
q good many only reconnoiter it
Yet the community gourd at the old
spring never poisoned anybody,
True argument should be a torch
light-not a club.
The new thrill is to toll for the nee.
eSSaries of death.
A little narrowing sometimes helms
the soil of stubborn soul.
Men are sometimes like razors- the
cheapest has the strongest pull.
Haven't you noticed that Ancestral
Pride always traces its descent"
OF course, if nations will "stop r.
argue" the Yankees will get 'em. most
of the time.
Maybe a man speaks of his Utmost
soul" because it isn't apparent upon
the outside.
The race is not deteriorating. The
quarrels over the spring marble games
are just as vigorous as ever
Energy is the motive power of the
human machine. Don't waste It in
blowing the whistle.
Some men, like that Russian Red
Lenine, wear whiskers to protect the
throat, then keep the wind roaring
through the inside.

But she entered this war because
she was made a partner, whether she
would or not, in the sufferings and in
dignities inflicted by the military mas
tiers of Germany, against the peace and
security of mankind, and the condi-
tons of peace will touch her as nearly
as they will touch any other nation to

cannot see her way to peace until the
causes of this war are removed, its re-

SPAIN TO BREAK
 WITH GERMANY

One thing is plain enough from the news about Spain and Germany, Spain is quite willing to risk a break with Germany by adopting the policy of seizing one German ship in Spanish ports for every Spanish ship sunk by submarines. She is more than willing. She is counting a break with Germany In other neutral countries signs of the same change of mind are appearing. The newspapers are commenting with a new frankness, unfavorable to Ger many, upon her recent military per- formance and present military situa- tion. Swiss papers written in Ger man and hitherto pro-German in tone are reported as printing i-German articles. Sweden, recognizing the Allied blockade in effect, Is shutting down on trade with Germany, increas- ing her trade with the, Allies, turning over to the Allies 400, ,000 tons of ship ping. In other words, German stock is going down in Spain and in three of the countries nearest her and in favorable position for estimating what Is happening to her.-The New | Republic.

Latin America in the fiscal year 1918 with that of the fiscal year 1914, which closed only few weeks before the beginning of the war, wei nd that imorts from that area have increased about 120 per cent. and exports there to have increased over 100 per cent.
 This large increase in our imports from and exports to our Latin Ameri- can neighbors since the beginning of the war is due in part to war condi- tions, shortage of ships, the cutting off of the market of the Central Pow CTS from Latin American goods and also of the manufactures which they were accustomed to supply to the Latin American market, while the other European countries at war have also been compelled to reduce their exports to Latin America by reason of their shortage of ships, and the ne- cessity of utilizing their manufactures in the production of war material. As a consequence Latin America found it advisable to send its surplus products chiefly to the United States, which is primarily 8 large consumer of the class of merchandise produced in all Latin America and which would also havef abilities for forwarding any sur plus to European markets. On the other hand, the inability of the Euro pean countries to ship manufactures to Latin America has greatly increas- ed the demand of that area upon the manufactures of the United States, as is shown by the fact above noted that our exports to that area have increas- ed 160 per cent. since the beginning

of the war. Another cause Of the in- crease Is found in the improved bank ing facilities and financial relationship recently developed between the United States and its neighbors of the South.
 A very large proportion of the in- crease of exports to Latin America occurs in manufactures. Normally manufactures form over 80 per cent. of the merchandise passing from the United States to the other American countries at the South. and the banks figures indicate that more than 31,. 500, 900, 900 worth of manufactures have passed from the United States to Latin America since the beginning of the war against less than $1, 900, ,00o,- : 900 worth in the corresponding period preceding the war.
 Coffee, cacao, rubber. hides, copper. wool, nitratea and bananas are the principal articles imported from Latin America and all of these show a marked increase in quantities and greatly increased prices.
 Exports from the United States to Latin America in 1918 were ten times as much as in 1898, and three times as much as in 1910.

LATIN AMERICA INCREASES TRADE
 DURING PAST YEAR

The trade of the United States with Latin America in the fiscal year just ending exceeded by far that of any earlier year. In fact it aggregated $1.770, 100000 against s75o, ,0Oo.o 900 in the year immediately preceding the war, the actual gam therefore hav- ing been in round terms 136 per cent,
 By the term Latin America is meant, of course, all of South Amer ica, all of Central America, Mexico, and the West Indian Islands excet Porto Rico, Virgin Islands and those under the control of Great Britain. A compilation by the National City Bank of New York shows that the total im- ports from Latin America in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918, aggregated $1,030, 100000 against $963,OOO, 900 in 1917, the former high record year, and $469, 9,000,000 in 1914, the year preceding the war. Exports to Latin America were s740,000,000 against $582, 100000 in the fiscal year 1917 and only $2s2,o00,O00 in 1914, the year immediately preceding the war. Thus, if we compare the trade with
