But not only can he obtain it in one

Families Don't Report
Deaths and Use Bread
Tickets of the Dead

Vienna, May o2--While the recently
completed city census showed Vienna to
have population OF approximately
100000. it has been discovered that
over 100000 bread tickets are in cir
culation The loss on this excess ration
is estimated at LEGO carloads of flour
year.
The explanation is that families fail to
report deaths or departures of members
to obtain the additional ration for them
selves or sell the tickets TO the left

in the hands Of the police for investiga-
tor and remedy.

BRITISH NOT HURT
BY YANK TRADE IN

United States Business in Argen-
tine Surpasses Great Britain,
Is Claim, However.

Buenos Aires, May 22-It is true that
che United States gained the supremacy
of the import trade of Argentina during
the war. surprising Great Britain, but
the United States has not, as has been
contended by some British interests,
taken this trade from the British while
they were fighting the war, declares DR..
julius Klein. United States commercial
attache in Argentina.
He quotes Argentine import statistics
to show that very little of this expansion
IT Argentine trade with the United
States has been at the expense of the
British. On the other hand. he says, it
has been won from the continental coun-
tries of Europe, especially Germany, or
is entirely new business created by
American enterprise.
U. S. Trade Grows.
Dr. Klein has made an analytical COM
parison of the changes in the distribution
Of Argentine import trade during the
war and since, which was published in
the Standard. British newspaper of
Ruenos Aires. The statistics show that
during the first nine months Of 1919 the
United States supplied 81 per cent Of
Argentina's imports compared with IA
per cent in 1913. while Great Britain s
share had fallen from 81 per cent to 81
and Germany's from 16 per cent to zero.
In only one instance was there q clear
case Of transfer of predominance from
British TO American interests, and that
was in tin plate.
Where America Gains.
Great Britain also lost in barbed wire
and lead. but the American gains. saws
DR. Klein, Seems to be quite as much at
the expense of Germany in one case and
Spain in the other as they were at the
cost of Great Britain"
The United States gained at the ex-
pense of continental exporters. particu-
larly Germany's, in cleaned rice. sugar,
