Country Now Stands in Def

Have Big Influence in Main
tanning Present Favorable
Position, it Is Pointed Out.

No country has been more deeply
or advantageously affected than the
United States by the changes wrought
by the war in international trade
routes, it is declared by Guy Emerson.
vice president of the National Bank
of Commerce in New York, writing
on America and the New world
Trade Routes in the November issue
of Commerce Monthly, the banks
magazine.
.aThe United States now stands in
q definitely more favorable position in
relation to international commerce
than it did in 1914" Mr.. Emerson says.
Our merchant fleet is the second
largest in the world. The Panama
canal is now effecting changes in
trade routes which are highly favor
able both to our importers and ex-
porters, and the unsettlement in
methods of distribution during the
war promise sto emphasize the effect
of this new waterway on the distribu-
ton of Asiatic products; while our
position between the Pacific and At
lantic oceans should serve to secure
for us our fair share of advantages
from the more remote results of the
conflict"
A number of countries whose goods
reached us before the war only by
trans-s shipment from European ports.
now are trading with us by direct
routes, Mr.. Emerson points out. Our
coal resources enable us to influence
trade routes markedly, and should
the increasing use of oil as fuel for
ships cause coal to cease to be DOM
inant factor. our present position as
producer af two thirds of the worlds
petroleum will give us the same adj
vantage. Mr.. Emerson, in his article
in Commerce Monthly, says in part:
Because we now have become the
second nation in the world as regards
the ownership and operation of ves-
sells, it does not follow that such
changes in routings as have occurred
will be permanent. Under the direction
OF the United States shipping board a
number of new direct lines under our
flag have been established. These lines
cannot be maintained. however, unless
our ships are eventually operated with
the sole view to profit. which is an
other way of stating that they must
be operated between those points where

mot DEMANDED
In Official Circles Belief Is That
One-Time Emperor Is Settled
Down for Life at Estate in
Holland.

The Hague, Nov. 9.-Former En-
peror William came to Holland year
ago last Monday. Since that time
there has been no demand, officially
or unofficially, for his extradition or
delivery up to the Allies, nor has Hol-
land at all changed it's viewpoint to-
ward him. The Associated Press
learned this today from sources that
are unquestionable,
Hollands viewpoint as Regards Will
frankly as follows: The Netherlands,
political refuge to all. considers the
refugees. not as royalty but as persons
entitled to the same rights as any
plain Johann Schmidt who fled to Hol-
land during the war. This principle
is so strongly held by the government
also by the Press of Holland that
nothing is likely to change it, it is as
serted,
The Associated Press learns that
Holland considers the farmer Emperor
beyond extradition as there is no pos
sible way legally to hold him as q
criminal.
If the one time Emperor and Crown
Prince desired to return to Germany
they would be permitted to go. While
it is possible Frederick William soms
day may return to Germany, officia
circles here are inclined to the belief
that William Hohenzollern is content
to settle down to life of country
gentleman at Doorn, where he has
bought small estate.
