AMERICAN PRODUCERS ARE CAPTURING
 TRADE IN HOLLAND

LONDON, Sept. 3.-Since the ar mistice the United States has be- come a serious competitor of Great Britain in Holland in selling dry goods, according to Rotterdam dispatch from Ernest Smith to the Daily News.
 The. British explanation you hear over here is that American busi- ness is a plunge, and that as soon as we can promise the certainty of delivery we shall recover the trade.
 Americans, on the other hand, talk very triumphantly and say they are out to capture the worlds trade and that whenever they get their foot in something they will stay. They claim that after a man has worn an American shirt he will never go back to the English made article. So it is with other articles of wearing apparel.

of the many enlisted men who are asking for and obtaining discharges under the ruling which makes dis charge easy for those who entered for the duration of the war, there is a tendency among those who get out to get back in again.
 This tendency is growing, too, and, in the opinion of petty off cers of the Pacific fleet, it is like ly to grow still more. They say the high cost of living is responsi- ble for many discharged men decid- ing to rejoin.
 "These boys who are getting out" said one petty officer, think they can get out and get some of the high wages they read about. They forget the wages will grow less with the increase of men who ask them.
 "When they get out, they begin to realize what the high cost of liv- ing means. They think of the old three squares a day and the cer- tain pay they get in the Navy and they come back"
