ALL AMERICA CABLE
WILL EXTEND LINES
$500 Miles to Be Added for
Stronger Foothold in
Brazil.

In placing an order recently for 2.500
miles of cable 10 be used in extending
its line from Buenoe Ayres to the cities
OF Santos and Rio in Brazil the ALL
America Cables gives evidence Of its de-
termination TO sustain its broad service
policy. which was uninterrupted even in
the stress OF war. The extensions which
Will be made this year will give the All
America Gables direct access to Brazil
The company has been striving for
years TO gain foothold in Brazil. and
now that concessions have been secured
and the cable for the new line ordered
the company will be able to furnish a
completely rounded out service to South
and Central American points.
Commenting on the cable extension,
John i. Merrill, president of the ALL
America Cables. says:
The concessions provide for the ex-
tension OF All-America Cables from Bue-
nos Ayres our present terminus, to the
cities of Santos and Rio dc Janeiro In
Brazil. and one for the connection from
Rio de Janeiro northward, along the
north coast Of Brazil. connecting with
our station at Guantanamo, Cuba, and
thence to New York.
we are prepared to 60 right ahead
we cannot buy the necessary cable for
both connections at the pref sent time ow-
Ing to a shortage in the cable supply
market. In order, however, to provide
the earliest possible American cable
connection with Brazil we have deter
| mined to make the first extension be-
tween Buenos Ayres to the cities OF
Santos and Rio. and II Is for this partic-
ular extension that we have purchased
the $500 miles OF new cable. We ex-
pect to be established in Brazil before
the end OF this year"
The All-America Cables are distinctly
under American ownership and manage.
ment fact that Is significant at this
time owing to the pretentious trade pro-
gramnre that American business men
have inaugurated to develop the South
and Central American markets. The
| cables are certain to act as decisive
factor IN fostering American trade. In
deed. they exert other functions Of in
calculable benefit in terrifying the bust
ness interests of the United States In the
! rich markets OF the Southern republics
BY providing quick and accurate SER
| vice TO points on the Latin American
| continent the All-America Cables fur
nishes the Government at Washington
with an instrument In keeping track OF
all diplomatic and political tendencies.
At the present time some of the great
news agencies are using the All-Amer-
lea Gables to enlighten the peoples of
the United States and South America as
TO the important daily happenings
The South American and Central
American republics are sure TO be the
battle-ground Of vigorous trade competi-
ton. The Germans and the English
were dominant for a long time in these
markets. but confronted now by Ameri.
can enterprise and ingenuity they will
| necessarily have to strain every effort to
win and hold profitable recognition. The
Al-America Cables has prepared for this
| competition.

WASHINGTON, March l6.-There was
started at Morelia, capital of the State

States. The university comprises the
following: Faculties OF medicine, law
and engineering: teachers colleges for
men and women; preparatory and agri-
cultural schools, industrial school for
girls, school of arts and crafts and
academy of fine arts. The attendance
has been almost 500 boys and girls. The
university possesses large and modern
buildings. with furniture, libraries, lab

Large Quantities of Nitrate.

When the economic riches OF Chile are
mentioned or discussed II is generally
observed that foreigners usually think
that these riches and its nitrate deposits
are synonymous. Every one knows that
Chile IL the only country where mira To
Is found In workable quantities We
ordeans are satisfied -that this Is so and
we arc the first to recognize the benefits
our country receives from this natural
and valuable monopoly Apart from the
considerable income derived from the
export duty thereon. the proceeds Of
which have enabled Chile to make great
progress, this industry also brings great
prosperity TO the nation by creating on
the nitrate pampas a large market for
the consumption OF It's agricultural
produce.
However, Chileans do not desire nor
could they consent TO admit that nitrate
OF soda Is to be considered Its staple
industry. That place has been occupied
In the past by agriculture and mining
In general and In the future will also
be taken by manufacturing industries
for which nature has made tho country
particularly suitable.
This brief summary will convince any
body that the industrial possibilities OF
Chile are great and varied. II can be
said that there are places for all kinds
OF capital and Initiative, great and small
and Chile cordially receives and encour-
ages any foreigners who come TO the
country with the purpose OF establish
ing now industries. The Government
extends TO them the protection offered
by It's tariffs and the whole people show
esteem for the cooperation and technical
knowledge brought by the foreign in
dustrialists
Chile does not need temporary immi-
grants such as are called for by other
South American countries on account Of
their larger territories and their more
extensive but perhaps more superficial
undertakings. What Chile requires is
the intensihcation OF its industries, and
this can only be achieved by a gradual
immigration OF people who will lncor-
porate themselves into and become q
part OF the country.

TRADE BULLETINS DELAYED.
Pan-Amcrfcan Union Hopes Soon
to Publish Issues on Time.
Special DespRch 20 TIL

WAsHINoroN, March 16.--In response
to complaints from subscribers relative
20 the hardness with which the various
editions of the Pan-American Union
Bulletin are received. the organization
has announced that the matter is not
within its power to remedy until gem
eral economic conditions improve. Many
factors contribute to delay in the pub
fishing OF magazines, especially In
Washington. such as the congested con-
dition of printing Offices, shortage of
paper and lack OF sufficient engravers
and printers, many of whom entered
military service.
It Is expected. however, that within
a few months general conditions will be
improved and that the monthly bulletins
as we'll as other literature may appear
regularly and on time as IN the past.

NET EARNINGS DROP
Annual Report Of Producers
Shows Wars Effect on
Copper Industry.

Guggenheim Predicts Cheaper
Smelling and Refining as
Tide Is Turned.

Another copper producing company
has brought out its annual report show
ing tho effects which tho war has had
on the copper industry. The report Of
the American Smelling and Refining
Company shows a drop of more than
10 per cent. in net earnings on opera
tiors for 1918 as compared with those
Of 1917, the figures being s1b.o21.5bo.
against s2s,194.s27, q decline Of &12,-

common wss sa.+5e.724, or tb.e7 q share,
against n balance Of s13,7sa.sb9, or
$22.43 a share, in 1917.
In explaining the radical reduction in
earnings President Simon Guggenheim
set forth in his report that the company
"on account Of not being n mining COM
pany, at least in this country. has OBJ
tadned no direct advantage from the in
creased price Of metals. This advantage
all accrues to the mining companies ana
the smelling company has the burden
OF carrying greatly increased values IN
metals. requiring correspondingly in
creased cash resources. This situation
has resulted in the company's expanding
during the last three years for new
property and construction nearly 320,-
100000. During that period the cost
OF metals carried has increased moro
than $17,00o.oo0. Notwithstanding the
inventory value Of fixed normal stock
has remained unchanged at the con-
servatively low figure of the past. This
demand on our cash resources, which
with the $6,S07.3b0 of Liberty bonds
carried. has amounted to more than
100000 in tho last three years, has
been financed without borrowing, except
as drafts are drawn and discounted
against shipments made from South
America"

Besides supplying the daily consump-
ton of paper in all South Anne rican coun-
tries. paper factories established In Chile
could meet the demand OF outside mar
hets, and such factories would naturally
give preference TO the consumers of those
countries which had helped to establish
them. So IL can be assured that IL those
enterprises were promoted by the United
states all the necessary machines and
implements would be bought from Ameri-
can sources. and the production will also
come to meet the growing need of paper
In the American markets.
This is but further proof of my con-
tenton. viz. that the factories estab-
lished in new country help the com
merce of the old one which established
them.
similar benefit can be Anticipated
from the development of the Chilean
fisheries. as the abundance, variety and
splendid quality of the fish and shellfish
found in Chilean waters are universally
recognized. The actual fishing enter

and Timing the fish are sull in their in
