GERMANS IN VENEZUELA
OFFERING TO UNDERSELL
VARIOUS LINES OF GOODS

San Juan, Porto Rico, Sept. 9.-tCor-
respondence Of the Associated Press. y
American travellers who have arrived
here recently from Venezuela report
that there are open evidences of re-
newed German activity in that country.
Just how they have come no one seems
to know, but many Germans have been
arriving in Venezuela during the few
months past, and German commercial
travellers are reported particularly ac-
tive. They represent all lines Of indus
try. As one man who returned from
eNneZuea last week explained It,
IF | want to sell clothing at SIS a
suit to the Venezuelan merchants, a
German salesman has something just as
good for sl2 or $13. If | offer 80 days
or six months credit, the German Of
fers six months or year. In every
line it is the same way. They are of
fering to take orders for all classes
of manufactured goods and promise
prompt delivery. Many Germans are ar
riving in Venezuela evidently prepared
to settle there and make 1t their home"
