New York, Dec. S.-Increasing
hope of an early settlement of the

cries appeared responsible for the

ket.. The opening was from Is to

Rio de Janeiro, Dec. S.-American
merchants and manufacturers doing
business in Brazil are advised by the
American Chamber of Commerce for
Brazil to lose no time in having their
trade marks registered in this coun-
try. For several months the Ameri-
can chamber has been working to Sc
cure changes in Brazilian trade mark
laws which are declared to be bur-
densome and unsatisfactory to for
eign commercial interests.
Recent wholesale appropriation of
American trade marks, through local
registration by Unauthorized persons,
has given impetus to the movement.
A series of recommendations drafted
by the American chamber seeking to
remedy the present situation have
been approved by the powerful semi
official commercial association OF
Rio de Janeiro and are now before
congress for action.

ADVISE DEMOCRATS.

Washington, Dec. o.-A Republi-
can writer in the Republican Wash
ington Post,wh writes partisan
views, arguments and deductions,
pure and simple, offers his advice to
the Democratic party, in which he
says that the support of the treaty,
without amendment or reservation, is
causing such a revolt in that party
that if made an issue it is certain to
bring defeat and diseaster
He points to Senator J. A. Reed,
of Missouri as the leader in the Dem
ocratic revolt, and along with this
endeavors to show that all tests in
elections have been against the peace
treaty. He points to instances where
the Republicans have won, indicat-
ing in every instance cited that the
treaty was an issue, when in fact this
is far from the truth.

New York, Dec. S.-Regular pis-
to1 practice in one of the National
Guard armories for all officials and
employees having permits to carry re-
volvers is now part of the "prepar-
'edness campaign of the Guaranty
Trust Company of this city, in view
of recent attacks on bank messen-
gers and bank hold-ups. The target
work of the bankers has improved

SHOULD REACH Ss,OOO.OOO

Raleigh Dee. 5-Totwfthstand-
ing the fact that official reports have
not been received from all North Car
olina Baptist churches, it is evident
from the reports received that the
Baptist people of this state have sub
scribed more han $6,000,O00 to the
Baptist rs Million Campaign fund.
DR.. Walter N Johnson, campaign
director, and DIR. w. r. Cullom, cam
paign organizer, are both anxious
that even yet churches will continue
the work and particularly where the
100 per cent canvass has not been
completed Many nonresident mem
bers should be reached and persuad-
ed to subscribe to this fund North
Carolina ought, in all seriousness to
contribute at least $S,O0O,O00 says
Dr. Johnson, and it will do it if the
workers hold them organization in
tact and stick to the task until the
last church member is reached.
North Carolina has 100000 Bap-
fists, and these are gathered into
2,100 churches, and there are some
churches that have not made any
contribution. This condition calls
for earnest work even though the
week that was set apart for the can
vass has passed. Pledge cards can
be had from DR.. w. N. johnson, Ra-
leigh, and all pledges will still be
counted on the campaign fund. It
is remembered that the Methodists
received several million dollars after
the close Of their campaign, and It
is hoped that the work will continue
in this state until the total reaches
at least $S,00O,0OO.

NO SOLUTION OF RELEASE
OF JENKINS BY MEXICANS

Washington, Dec. S.-There was
no word today indicating solution
of the mystery which has developed
from the sudden release of William
o. Jenkins, American consular agent
from the Puebla Jail after the de-
termined demand of this government
apparently had failed to influence his
captors. Both the state department
and Jenkins himself tlready have
started Investigations with the object
of determining what influences were
instrumental in putting up the $500
bail bond which the Mexican govern
ment so readily accepted
Admittedly the crux OF an interna-
tional situation IF utmost tenseness
two days ago, the jenkins case has
now become a diplomatic encoma, the
solution of which offered interesting
but not dangerous possibilities.
A careful investigation of reports
that Mexico had taken steps to aug
ment her aviation forces has failed
to cprroborate the statement that 9
squadron of 25 modern pursuit aero
planes are available for service. In
formation obtained through reliable
sources considered by military ane
state agencies to be thoroughly de
pendable puts the total strength O
the Mexican air department at les
than a dozen obsolete planes.

AMERICA IN CHINA.

Toxic, Dec. Referring to the
recent arrangement of an American
Chinese joint banking corporation
with a capita7 Oh $1O,000,000. the
Kokusai News Agency says that this
enterprise may be regarded as fore
shadowing the opening of economic
activity by the United States in a
postwar commercial and Industrial
campaign to China.
It adds: "It is obvious that with
the aid of the American ffnanciers
the northern military group of China
will be enabled to carry out policy
favorable to their interests in the
future, which will eventually affect
the interests of the southern group.
There is no doubt that the hand
shaking of the American and Chinese
bankers in the establishment of an
Americana Chinese bank lays the
foundation for joint operations OF
American and Chinese capitalists I'm
the economic development of China
| in the future, matter which calls
| for the keen attention of Japanese
business men who are closely inter-
es,ed in the economic development OF
| China.

DOES NOT WANT NEWSPAPERS
CARRIED AT A LOSS.

The Chicago Tribune as nearly ev-

saying is, to find excuses to discredit
the Wilson Administration; yet, not
withstanding its desires, it does not
sympathize> with the attempt Of the
big newspapers of the Atlantic coast
cities to have their newspapers,
which are second class matter, carried
for less than cost. Under the caption
Equitable Postal Distribution, it says:
whatever may be expected Of the
proposed postal legislation, The Trib-
une is of the opinion that one general
thought ought to be kept in mind:
second class matter should not be car
ried at a loss.
ave do not know if it does occasion
a loss; or how much, if any. Nor
are we aware to what extent the post
office deficiency is affected by the
various classes Of mail. We know
there usually is deficit and we as
sumo that there must be a shortage
somewhere.
"We do not assume to know what
class occasions the deficit. We merely
believe it should not be the second
class, which is the class embracing
The Tribune. We think the postofflce
department should not be operated at
a loss; or at least we think the second
class should not be so operated"

This Peace covenant opens a new

The treaty is said to contain 10000
words, and the fact that it has the
approval of President Wilson is an as
surance that it contains no provision
at variance with the armistice.
