TRADE OF UNITED
 STATES IN YEAR OF 1873

and Oceania an increase of nearly 200 per cent. Total trade with South America, including both imports and exports, which amounted to S345,- 000,000 in 1914 will apparently total nearly $1,00O,000,00O in 1919 and that with Asia and Oceania which was little more than $5OO,OOO,OOO in 1914 will approximate $1,75O, O,OOO,O 900 in 1919.
 Equally striking are the changes in the classes of material forming the exports. Manufactures exported (in- cluding in this term both those for further use in manufacturing, and those ready for use) jumped from S1,O99, 900, 900 in the fiscal year 1914, all of which preceded the war, to $4,134,O OOO,O 900 in 1917 then dropped to $3,395,O ,OOO,o0 in 1918 and will ap- proXimate S3,25O,OOO,O0O in 1919. Foodstuffs, of which the total exports in 1914 amounted to $43O,713,0O0 advanced to $961, ,56O,OOO in 1915, S1,269, ,691, 900 in 1917, s1.528,99O,- 900 in 1918, and seems likely to ap- proximate $2,3OO, 100000 in the fiscal year 1919, or practically five times as much in stated value in 1919 as in 1914, while manufactures exported in LtIJ WILL be SllSnlIy more than three times in value those of the year pre- CedinE the war. Manufactur ma terial exported shows a less change, having been in 1914, S792, 2,716.OOO, in 1918, $S97, ,329.OO0. and in 1919 will apparently approximate $1,12O,00O,- 900.
 Imports show less striking change. in the various groups of ar ticles, then do exports. Manufactur- ing material imported advances from 3,OOO.OOO in 1917 to S1,227.0OO,- O0o in 1918. and seems likely to be about S1.2OO.0OO,OOO in 1919. Mauu- faCtures imported which amounted to S76S.593,OOO in 1914 were S943.73O,- 900 in 191 sand will probably exceed S1,OOO, ,OOO, ,OOO in 1919, while food stuffs imported which aggregated S475.592. GOO in 1914 seem likely to be about sS0O,OoO.oOO in 1919.
 All of the figures above quoted are those of values only. and in no case relate to quantities. in which the in crease is approximately less than that of the values based upon the higher market prices now prevailing

FAMILY QUARREL
 STOPPED LAW TO
 COMMUNIZE GIRLS

Budapest, May ]. Correspondence of The Associated Press)-It was due to a. family quarrel that Hungary es- caped having its women "commun- ized" after the fashion of the Russian republic of Saratoff rather than to the abhorrenes of Bella Kun to the scheme as the latter afterwards stated
 The law to comfnuntze women was actually framed and in the printers hands ready for publication when Herr WeltneF, one of the cabinet of young men who are now ruling the fate of the former kingdom, went home for supper, During the meal he told his wife and his mother-in- law in glowing terms about the pro- jeeted forms.
 What are you doing for women ?' They asked,
 weltner then explained that iR flu ture women would be free; that they would be permitted to choose their own husbands and discard them if they liked by the simple process of paying a few cents for a legal paper declaring their ''unfitHess'' for mar ried life. Further conversation de- vefeped the fact that the new law al- so gave husbands the same right; that children might be turned over to the care of the state, so that both husband and wife would get rid of the duties and responsibilities of rearing their offspring.
 Do you mean that you can get rid of me from one day to another and marry the next day if gou Iike?'' de- manded young Frau WeitReF,

The foreign trade of the United States is nearing the $1O,O00,000,000 line. In the fiscal year 1900 it aggre- gated $2,244,OOO,OOO; in 1910, S3,3O2,- 900, ,0OO; in 1913, $4,279,O0O,OOO; in 1916 with the stimulus of the war 1t ssnped to s6,531,OOO,0OO; in 1917, SS,949, 100000, and in 1919 will ap- parently approximate $9,S75, 100000, and if the trade with Hawaii and Porto Rico were included would ex- ceed $t0,OOO,O 100000, this estimate by the National City Bank of New York being based upon official figures for the nine months ending with March.
 The changes in our foreign trade during the war have been kaleido- scopic. Imports of the fiscal year 1919 seem likely to approximate $3,- 100, 100000, an increase of about 66 per cent over those of the year im- mediateIy preceding the war, and ex- ports will approximate S6,75O, O,OOO,- 900, an increase of about 1855 per cent, these estimates for the import and export trade of 1919 being based upon official figures for the nine months ending with March.
 Still more startling are the changes in the trade with the various sections or the world. Imports from Europe show a fall of about 60 per cent. while exports 10 Europe show an in- crease of nearly 200 per cent Mer- chandise from Europe prior to the war formed about 50 per cent, of the total are thus far in 1919 also about far in 1919 form but about Il per cent. of the total imports. Exports to Europe which ir. the year before the war formed 63 per cent, of the total are th slfar in 1919 also about G3 per cent. of the total, indicating that despite the great increase in our sales to Europe the percentage of gain in exports 10 other parts of the world has been equally great. To Europe in the fiscal year 1919 the eX- ports will show an increase of about 200 per cent. over those of 1914. North America about 150 per cent, South America about 225 per cent. and to Asia about 35o per cent. Inn ports from Europe show a fall of about 50 per cent, those from North America an increase of about 15O per cent, from South America a. gain of about 15O per cent, and from As+al

That's how the law stands" re- piled the husband.
 Then the storm broke. Both wife and mother-in-Iaw began to scream and a frenzied scene ensued, the up- shot of which was that the women demanded that weItner should get the law stopped, or they wouId-Ieave him at once and would. moreover, get all the wives, mothers and moth ers-in-Iaw of all the ministers to do the same.
 Weltner in the interest of his home comfort, eventually promised to do his best and use his influence with his fellow members, through his pa per, the Peoples Voice to get the law rescinded. He went to the telephone and had a conversation with Bella Kun and the other ministers and then called up the printers, telling them that no proofs needed to be pulled" from the forms where the law lay. He also ordered that the type should be melted up and the story destroyed.
 It was thus that the law died.

Athens, Sunday, April 27.---By The Associated Press) king Peter of Serbia, who IS living quietly alone in a little suburban retreat overlooking the Bay of Piraeus six miles from here, expressed through The Asso- ciated Press today the profound gratitude of the Serbian nation for the Christian charity of the Ameri- can people so marvelously organized by the Red Cross"

ICEBREAKERS
 TAKE FOOD
 TO YANKEES

Economia, Russia, April 17.---(Cor- Irespondence of The Associated Press Delayed When the ice-breakers bring Allied soldiers or mails or pro- visions into Economia, which is the winter port of Archangel, things hap pen sometimes that even Baron Man chausen might not have believed.
 Economia is about 20 miles from IArchangel down the frozen Dvina river to it's mouth. The fce-breakers plough their way up the river to this point, where a winter railway, built over frozen ground, furnishes trans port to ArchangeI.
 It is here that sleigh drivers cross Ing the river on the ice whip up their ponies or reindeers to scurry out of
 the way of a ship, that whistles for a clear path while she breaks the ice ahead of her.
 The cold is so intense that the path of water where the ship has broken through freezes again within a, few
 hours, permitting sleigh traffic to be renewed.
 When one goes out to visit a ship at Economic he drives up to it's side in a. sleigh, or walks over the river to 1t.
 The Allies are making determined efforts to keep this harbor open throughout the winter, in order to supply properly the Americans and other troops in Northern Russia A alrge number of ice-breakers are to be employed to keep a, channel fairly fr7e from ice from Fconomia to Kan dalasha or Kemi, on the White Sea Coast, where connection is made with the railway leading to Murman, an open port.
 At the present time, ships are able to operate at Murmansk. but this is expected to he impossible when ice fills the neck of the White Sea.

The sheriff suspected that the man,
Alberto Gardea a Mexican, who was
serving a ninety-day sentence for
carrying a large six-shpoter, had
killed another at Sonora, Tex, a cell
mate having informed the sheriff
that Gardea told him of the killing.
The sheriff questioned Gardea, but
got nothing from him but denial
that he had confided anything of the

through an examination, but got no

They had written the sheriff at
