Germany Enabled to Sell Goods In

respondence of the Associated Press).
The high value of the American
dollar as a medium of exchange and
the low value of the German mark is
enabling German houses to sell goods
here cheaper than they did before the
war. Their prices are SO far below
those of American and other allied
countries that for the moment there
is no possibility of competition.
The Germans are experiencing little
difficulty in getting their goods to
South America. German machines of
certain class are selling at 100 per
cent above what they did before the
!! war. yet they are 200 pesos cheaper
to the Argentine buyer because the
mark is cheap.
To guard themselves against pos
sible shipping delays when buying
German goods. Argentine importers
are buying marks today and keeping
them to pay their bills with when
the goods arrive, SO that an increase
in the value of the mark will not
affect their purchasing price.
Several American representatives
here have written to their principals
that it is impossible to take orders
for American goods as long as tho

WAR LEADERSHIP CRITICS
STIR ALLENBY ADMIRERS
Zionist Organ Resents Efforts to
Discount British Generals
Proved Military Genius.

LONDON, october 25 Correspond
ence of the Associated Press) ).-Since
the triumphal return Of Lord Allenby.
"conqueror of the Holy Land" there
has been some discussion in the press
and military circles of the relative
merits of military leadership in the
east and west. There have been sug-
geStions that war in the west and
war in the east are SO different in
character that the laurels gained in
the second are, in a military sense,
not comparable to the laurels gained
in the first.
The Zionist Review. the official Or
gan of the English Zionist Fedora
ton. makes a spirited reply to certain
critics who. they infer. seek to dis
count what is widely acclaimed as
Gen. Allenby's proved military genius.
Lord Allenby has returned from
the east to England with a military
reputation and the romance of sue
cess second to those of no British
commander" says the Review. we
are convinced that no British COM
mander could have conducted the
Palestine campaign with brilliance
superior to that manifested by Lord
Allenby. From GAIA and Beersheha
ITO Alleppo his work bore the stal n
of genius and we are disposed TO
doubt whether any British commander
during the war has a surer claim to
military genius than he"
