MOSQUITO FLEET"

Piracy in the Caribbean Sea

The origin Of what is called the

cal waters where Capt. Porter. young
Farragut and Tattnall first made its
history and fame for the young Amer
lean Navy I'm the early twenties of the
nineteenth century.
Piracy in the Caribbean sea, which
ordinary naval vessels failed to reach
among the lagoons and creeks OF the
West India Islands. called into exist

The mosquito fleet. the conception
Of Commodore David Porter. soon ac-

our youthful Navy. In 1s2f>1Commo-
dore Porter had evidence that val
liable goods had been stored at Fox
ardo. Porto Rico. whereupon he sent
the Beagle to investigate the matter.
The commanding officer on landing
was arrested and thrown in prison.
Commodore Porter then sailed for the
island. landed a force of 200 men and
demanded an apology, which was
promptly given.
Resigned His Commission.
The government thought that he
had exceeded his authority and court
martialed him, with G. sentence of six
months suspension. Commodore Por-
ter resigned his commission and en-
tered the service Of the Mexican gov
eminent as commander-in-ch chief OF the
naval forces of that country, where he
remained some years. When Andrew
Jackson was elected President, Porter
had a friend in power. who offered TO
restore him to his old position in the
Navy. but he declined: and in 1881 be
came minister resident to Turkey. and
died in this post in 1s43. During the
civil war the mosquito fleets were re
vived by the Federal and Confederate
navies-a record Of which is now a

BAR ASKED
BY Berlin ADVISER
Keep Finished Goods, Expert
Advises, for Consumption
by German People.
By the Associated Press.


BERLIN, October 2-Objection is
raised by a German expert on for
eign trade to the expectation of fin
ished goods from Germany on the
ground that the effect is to deprive
German. Of the opportunity of buy
ing homemade things. The expert as
serts that, owing to the low exchange
can obtain abroad higher prices in
marks than they can at home. Even
at these export prices, he says, Ger
many is able to underbid the entire
world by about SO per cent.
Example in Holland.
To demonstrate how the low ex-
change rate for marks produces this
result he cites as an example the case
of a German manufactured product
sold in Holland.
This cost before the war 40 marks,
which in Holland amounted to about
"a gulden. The same article costs in
Germany today perhaps 100 marks,
the equivalent Of only 20 gulden.
Adding profit, freight. etc. the article
Is sold in Holland at little more than
before the war. Thus. says the ex-
pert, Germany underbids foreign
competitors in their own countries.
The result is, he adds, that Germany
receives so per cent less money than
might be obtained and the entire in
dustrial and trade world is aroused
against Germany because Of this ''un-
beatable" competition. Only the buy
er who comes to Germany is salts
fed. while the foreign manufacturer.
unable to produce SO cheaply, shouts
for protection against the German
dumping"
Predicts Heavy Tariffs.
The expert asserts that entente
countries are planning methods to
prevent this competition. and heavy
customs duties are in sight against
German imports :.
The writer takes, issue with Robert
Schmidt, the economic minister. who
has denied that Germany is dumping
it's products on the world. The exe.
pert advocates strict control OF all
exports by Germany and prohibition
of the expectation Of certain prod
ucts. such as china. as the only, solu-
ton.
