BRITISHERS TO G( AGAINST EACH
 OTHER

$40 PAULO, BRAZIL, Dec, 12--' The British Chamber of Commerce m Sac Paulo has undertaken to encour- age the largest possible number of British concerns to come to Brazil to compete against it's own members, This policy was announced after the last annual meeting, following dis cussion as to whether British Cham Der of Commerce exists for the bene' fit of it's own members or for the ben eft of the British Empire.
 There was bitter antagonism at first this policy members of the chamber arguing that it would spoil their chances to have other British firms established in Brazil. Those in favor of the new policy argued that they would have to face strenuous competition in Brazil after the war no matter what they do now and said they preferred to compete with fellow Britishers in the common cause of out competing other nations rather than ti fight alone the German, American and Japanese competition regarded as certain to follow the cessation of hos tilities.
 It was then decided to devote pre-. ferential energy to helping other Brit ish concerns establish in Brazil in ad- vance of other nationalities.

WOUNDED AMERICAN O|VLY WANTS CHANCE

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Feb. 2.-(By the Associated Press.)-One of the soldiers wounded 9n yesterdays raid by the Germans lold the Associated Press four days ago in little shell wrecked village Aear the American lines what he hoped to do to the Germans. Today he is the most disappointed American in France. Ae caught(a chunk of steel from an fnemy high explosive shell. Tt bit me Tn the leg he said today thereby put ling him out of action for some time.
 Four days ago this youth, who has yandy hair and comes from farm near Bismarck N. D., emerged from the trenches after doing part of his bit of certain period. He was covered with mud from head to foot. Even his hair vas streaked in places with the red day.
 How do I like this war?' he said then, in response to a question Well. ts pretty tough some times but when you are out there under the stars with a flock of Germans in front of you, you forget all the bad points of it. and your one idea in life is to do the job we came here for. I've only been in France few weeks. l came with a division of former national guardsmen. was put in that organization after being drafted.
 Since l have been in the line I have done my best to get d German. I have had tough luck so far but 1 am going back tomorrow and hope to have better luck the next time
 Frightened? Well, I admit that the first time 1 stepped into trench I didn't like it much. l expected a bull let every minute. After an hour of so, however, curiosity got the better of me, and l have not been scared since. l am afraid of no German alive now. feel that can lick any of that crowd with my fists, and a German with a gun is no worse than one without one if have got gun myself"
 Within the last few hours the cor respondent saw the same man lying on a cot in a field hospital.
 Did you ever hear of such bad luck?" said the soldier smiling. Now I've got piece bit out of my leg by a shell splinter. Irhere is only one satis- faction. that is the Germans had tc

 It often happens that a liner will carry important papers whose send CTS do not care to trust to the us- ual means of communication. The messenger delivers them at the of flee of the purser and that individual places them in secure corner of his specie locker The papers are apt to be of commercial character. Perhaps MT. Export Correspondent thinks so highly of his confidential buying suggestions for the firms European people that rather than put them in the custody of Uncle Samuefs mail, he turns them over to the purser. Likewise large sums of money are thus sent across the ocean.
 Previous to the war, all steamship pursers were anxious to accommo- date concerns which wanted to have various papers taken across the

ocean and delivered to the firms representative abroad. Often a rep resentative from the firm met the ship on the arrival on the other side and thus hastened the delivery of the documents. If the purser received s10 for this job he was very grate- full and showed every symptom of trusting that the firm would call again. Indeed it has even been re- called that some of the bitterest of steamship rows ensued wheI. it was discovered that one of the navigat- ing officers was landing bonus money for being trans oceanic messenger boy.
 But everything is different nova days. The sailing of mail steamships has been seriously cut down. If documents are important, the regis tered mail does not save them from the depredations of Hohenzoller,. submersibles.

9VERSHOESAND KITTENS SENT
 CAMP FUNSTON

That the young men who are sta tioned al Camp Funston, need not suf- fer any more this winter for lack of sufficient and suitable mittens and oVershoes is the supposition conveyed in the telegram which was received yesterday by Roy $. Goodrich from George F. Porter of the National Coun- cil of Defense The telegram which brings this information is as follows:
 Answering your telegram to the head Of the war department wrote gover nor, January 2S that sufficient over shoes for one pair per man ordered eX pressed from Chicago, January 2l; 1S,- 000 winter gauntlets ordered expressed from san Francisco JanGary 19: 30,- oO0 Jersey knit gloves ordered direct point of purchase, January 27
 GEORGE F. PORTER,
 National Council of Defense.
 II was in December that the central Arizona Red Cross chapter learned that the boys at Camp Funston were badly in need of overshoes and mittens. Ac- tion was immediately taken by the chapter and 100 pairs each of Overshoes and mittens were purchased and sent to the camp. These were given out each morning to those who did guard duty and other outside work.
 Knowing that these did not begin to supply the large number of men stationed there. the local chapter decid ed to take further action The matter was brought to the notice of both the National Red Cross headquarters and the war department by telegrams signed by the governor. Dwight B. Heard and Mr. Goodrich The wires were sent on January IS and action was taken on January 19. The tele- gram received yesterday hy MT. Good rich is in answer to one Mr. Goodrich sent to the war department inQuirng as to what action was being taken.
 Another stroke toward the comfort of the Camp Funston men was accom- pIished recently when at the sugges lion of Mrs. w. K James, chairman of ihe supplies committee of the local chapter Mir Goodrich telegraphed the Pacific coast division asking that the helmets made by Phoenix knitters be sent to Camp Funston in place of Douglas The wish was readily grant I'd. A few weeks ago orders were re- felved from the Pacific coast division Manager Marshall Hale to the effect hat all knitted articles from the cent ral Arizona chapter should be sent tc Douglas.
 Local authorities, realizing that the men at Douglas had little need fol helmets, thought best to obtain Der. mission to send them to Funston where 1t is known they will be greatly appre- >iatcd.

For this reason. concerns wishing

For this reason, concerns wishing to get important business papers abroad have had to trust more and more to the pursers. The party of the first part bases his appeal oli the ground that he simply must get certain. important business papers to London or Paris via the party of the second part (the purserJ. The latter rejoins that to oblige the party of the first part means risking his job, violating the postal laws and running the allied blockade. Continuing, he says that if he were detected, it might also mean Imprisonment and death. But if the first party is will ing to pay well he will oblige.
