for extra handling at the docks on
both ends of the trip. Transship-
ment always means damage to goods
not properly packed. Unless the ex-
porting manufacturer knows the
route his goods will travel he cannot
provide intelligently against damage
Consul General Maxwell Blake, at Bo-
gotta, suggested that every exporter
should provide himself with the best
trade map procurable. SO that he may
ascertain where an order is to be de-
ltvered. what transportation lines
there are and how the shipment
should be handled to obtain the best
results.
The packing Of merchandise des-
tined for points not reached by the
ordinary means of transportation Of
fers still more complicated difficulties.
American exporters should know
how to pack for transportation by
cart. mule, burro. llama, bull, camel
and by man carrier. Moreover, they
should know when such packing is
necessary and should not depend
upon specific instructions from the
importer, although such special in
structions as the latter gives should
be followed carefully.
The loads that various pack animals
can carry are approximately as fol-
lows: Mule, 200 to $50 pounds; burro.
$50 to 200 pounds; llama. about 100
pounds camel, $50 to 400 pounds.
Packages for transportation by these
weights. an one package is carried
on either side. The weight that
should be estimated for man carriers
varies from 100 to $50 pounds. The

Export agents might be held respon-

must not hide behind any such inter

much inclination on the part of the
American exporter to ship i'm any
sort OF 'container that the transporta-
tion companies would accept; but in
adequate packing is dear at any
price. Importers in foreign countries
would rather pay for special packing
than receive damaged goods. and
when they give definite instructions
they expect such instructions to be

knows what conditions must be met

Men Reach disqualification
Camp This Morning After
Busy Time In Milwaukee
On Monday.
NAY Be HOME THURSDAY
Home Coming Committee Met This
Afternoon and Laid Plans for
Reception To Be Accorded the
Kenosha Men On Their Return.

The 34oth Infantry which marched
in Grand Parade in Milwaukee on
Monday afternoon reached Camp
Grant this morning declared that the
officials the expected to have all Of
the men demobilized by the end of the
present week.
The Kenosha members of the 340th
are coming home on Thursday. Mayor
Joachim this morning had a long tele-
phone talk with the Commandment at
Camp Grant and he informed the May
or that the Kenosha boys in the 340th
would at the request of the city of
Kenosha be demobilized in body on
Thursday morning and that they would
come home during the day.
The members of the Kenosha com
mittee have been summoned and it is
expected that they will go to Rockford
on Wednesday afternoon and accom-
pany the Kenosha soldiers from Camp
Grant to Kenosha on Thursday. The
Commandment at Camp Grant could not
say just how many Of the Kenosha
boys would be included in the unit to
be demobilized by Thursday morning
A meeting of the Welcome Home
Committee was called for four 'clock
this afternoon at which time it is plan
ned to work out the details of the
welcome to be extended to the boys on
their return on Thursday. 1t will be
impossible to give out any details OF
the plans until the members of the
committee can find out just when the
trains bearing the Kenosha boys will
each Kenosha on Thursday but it is
probable that it will be some time late
Thursday afternoon.
If q special train is provided to
bring the Kenosha men the trip will be
made from Rockford over the West
ern Division of the Northwestern.
The welcome to the men in Milwau-
kee was so cordial and SO extended
that the troop trains did not leave
that city until after midnight this
morning but none of the Kenosha mem
bers Of the 340th were given "leave''
to come to Kenosha andthe men had
to be satisfied with the greeting which
their friends and relatives extended to
them in Milwaukee. Hundreds of
Kenosha people, many Of them fathers
and mothers of the boys, were in Mil
waukee and they remained with their
friends and relatives until the call
was made for the train to leave for
Rockford.
The Kenosha boys are in excellent
health and spirits and every one of
them seen on Monday declared that
the one thing uppermost in their minds
was to get back into "civieso and get
back to the old home town. Other
units of the men who were trained at
Camp Custer are arriving at New York
and other Eastern ports every day and
it is expected that three hundred of
the Kenosha members Of the National
Army will be home within a fortnight,
