 Mir. Hamilton plays the role of Jimmy Baxter, who meets Latin in- trigue with ingenuity and treachery with valor. While trying to get a cargo of munitions into the turbu- lent republic he catches a glimpse of a beautiful face and realizes that Inc has seen the "on1y girl" Who she is he has not the least idea but he fully determines to meet her.
 What is his amazement when he finds her to be the daughter of the President of the country in which he is interested. From then on his en- thusiasm is remarkable. He is the means of que1ling a rebellion which occurs and is lauded as the person1- fication of American pep and cour- age.
 His romance flourishes and tha happy outcome puts a, finishing toucE to a remarkably vigorous and enter tainG performance.

EXCHANGE SYSTEM
 CLEARLY EXPLAINED

In an effort to eliminate miscon- captions which have arisen as to the nature and operation of the exchange system recently inaugurated between the United States and the liberated nations of Central Europe through the American Relief Administration, Edgar Rickard, Joint Director of the American Relief Administration, yes terday issued a statement giving the fundamental reasons why the Admin istration extended it's relief work to include the transmission of money.
 Mr. Rickard said that, in many quarters, the impression had grown up in this country that it was neces- sary for foreign-born Americans to buy food here in order to transmit money to their relatives and friends in European countries.

GRAND CENTRAL, PALACE BECOMES
 BIG TRADE MART

One of the biggest enterprises to
 be embarked upon, having in mind
 the extension of American commerce
 in foreign countries, as we'll as the
 importation of foreign goods to America, has just been inaugurated
 in New York City. It is the new proposition of the Merchants and
 Manufac cturers Exchange of New
 York to make Grand Central Palace
 a great clearing house for world com merce.
 On September 30, the United States
 Government will turn Grand Central Palace back to the Merchants and the Manufacturers Exchange. For months this great twelve-story build ing-the largest exposition building in the wor1d-which occupies an en-
 tire city block, has been used as an army base hospital. Its evacuation
 now taking place, will permit recon
 struction of the entire interior so as
 to make it ideal as permanent show
 place for all sorts of manufa cured
 products. The industries will be grouped and permanent exhibits will
 be made on eight spacious floors,
 each floor having approximately 6O,-
 900 square feet of space. The re- mainder of the building (the four
 lower floors) will be utilized for the annual expositions which have made
 the building famous, such as the Au-
 tomobile Show, Motor Boat Show, Flower Show, Electrical Exposition,
 Chemical Exposition, Hotel Mems Ex-
 position, Etc.
 Permanent exhibits of products of the more important industries will be opened beginning October 18th. The Merchants and Manufacturers Ex- change has established foreign con- nections for export business m every important city of the world, and manufacturers, jobbers, retail dealers and the thousands of foreign buyers undoubtedly soon will regard Grand Central Palace as the worlds great trade center and will make it their headquarters when visiting New York Looking forward to this the manage ment will establish clubrooms, con- l ference rooms, office facilities, etc. to increase the foreign buyers comfort while in the Metropolis.
 Never before has there been such a permanent exchange conducted along international lines which will opportunity to come into direct con- tact with the domestic and foreign buyer. Some of the industries rep resented will occupy an entire floor such as The International Farm Trac- tor and Implement Exchange, the In- ternationa1 Hardware and Home furnishings Exchange, which will be among the first to be opened, on the
