Baltimore, Mr., Dee. 9.-The best
"hunting grounds for after the wal

ca, Speaker Clark told the Southern
Commercial congress, which opened its
convention here today.
"Yes, we come out of the war with
a great merchant marine, but l press

"lt is rumored that Germany will be

not know.
Before the war Great Britain was

If wehad acted the part Of wisdom in
the last half century instead of having
only l3 per cent of the foreign trade
of Latin-Ameriea, we would have the

Necessity for Trade.
The necessity for seeking foreign
