SOUTH AMERICA EASY
Bolshevism Has Ready Entrance Be
 cause of Lax Immigration Laws
Rx Associated Press

The Hague. November 16.-Obsence, in peace times, of any strict control of immigration in most South Ameri- can countries, makes it particularly easy, The Associated Press correspond ent was told by a member of the Bra gillian diplomatic service, for bolshevik couriers. sent out by Moscow, to reach South America.
 Recent investigations by the corre- spondent in several countries of cen tral Europe have indicated that a con tinuous effort is being made, through use of courier and propaganda sys- tenn that includes perhaps 25.0o0 Mos cow-p paid workers, to spread the doc Urine of bolshevism throughout the world.
 In this effort. South and Central America are considered by the Bolshe- wiki not only as excellent fields for local missionary work" along the lines of strikes and political unrest, but also as advanced field bases for promoting bolshevSsm in North America, where stricter Immigration laws prevail.
 At Lisbon and the Spanish ports, the Moscow Ngovernment has established courier bureaus, particularly designed to handle Agitators and propaganda en route to Brazil. Argentine, Chile. etc, and one of the four sub-bureaus direct ing the entiAe world force of agitators is understood to be located either in Mexico or in one of the South American countries.
 50 far as Brazil is concerned" . Brazilian diplomat said, the nation al constitution seems to prevent any serious efforts on this side of the Att lantic to weed out undesirable immi- grants. for our population is small compared with urlhuge area. Undesir- ables, such as bplshevik agitatorA should be handled and jailed on arri- val" sr
 While South American officials in Europe are quite familiar with the fact that the soviet government Is making a determined effort to spread it's doc trines to South Amerita, the view was expressed by one of tAem that bolshe- vism cannot thrive Tn agricultural countries. where private ownership of land is essential.

 Memphis
By Associated Press

Memphis December 5.-Advantages which will accrue to the Mississippi valley states by the extension and de- velopment of the waterways of the sec tion were described at meeting of the board of directors of the Mississippi Valley association with the various business organizations here today.

Smith. who said that this waterway, together with the open ing up of the St. Lawrence river to ocean vessels, would give the Missis- sippi valley direct water connection with both the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico.
 "It will provide an all-water channel for the business of this section, and will release railroad equipment for railroads which have not these natural advantages,'' MT. Smith said. Follow ing an executive session. the river terminals were visited. l
 Members of the board from almost all the Mississippi valley states at tended the meeting.

AlRSHIPS AFTER SEAL
Will Act as Scouts During Seasons
 Hunt in Newfoundland
Bv Associated Press

St. Johns N. F., November 15.--Cap- tains of the Newfoundland sealing fleet lcok forward to a big "kilr among the sea herds this season under the ar rangement by which the fleet will be guided by two airships whose duty it will be to act as scouts search for the herds of young seals and send word of their location by wireless.
 Some of the old captains profess to be trifle dubious of this new fangled method of hunting the seals. but they are all awaiting the experi- ment with anticipation and hope of greater profits than ever before.
 Word has been received here that the two non-rigid airships, popularly known as "blimps," which are to be used in this work have been shipped from England to make this first att tempt to hunt seals from the air and by use of the wireless. The expedition, which altogether includes four airships, is under the command of Frank J. Tippen, consulting airship engineer and constructor to the Newfoundland gov ernment, an expert in the design Of large commercial airships. Three Of yhe four airships are of the sea-scout- ing type driven by single engine. the kind which did valuable reconnaissance work over the North and Irish seas during the war The fourth Is larger and driven by two motors. All these have been presented to the Newfound- : land government by the British alr ministry as the nucleus of regular government air patrol service in New foundland After the experiment in seal hunting they will be used as a matter of routine in the forest patrol and survey work.
 The party includes two airship pilots, of whom the chief is Captain Williams. who distinguished himself in the war as a pilot in airxhips over the Irisn sea- The airship station in Newfound- land will be established at Botwood on the Exploits river. where the wire less station will be built to keep In touch with the airships.
 When the vast herds of young seals come drifting down from the north on the ice early in the spring the "blimbs" will fly out over the North Atlantic, will hunt them out and send word of their location to the sealing fleet waiting to kill them for their oir- bearing fat and skins.
 Heretofore a big "1Sill'' has been the matter of luck as well as of good judg- ment the sealing fleet has relied main ly on the knowledge and. skill of cer- tain shippers who study charts ana currents and estimate where the herd may be found but sometimes they nave missed their object. Next spring, how ever, it is hoped here that the air ship patrol. preceding the fleet and scouting oyer the immense area of wa tar. will convert what has hitherto been a gamble into almost a cer- fainty

Daily Financial Gossip
By HOLLAND

New York, December 5.-(Special )-The reception and dinner at which Frank A. hunSey was the guest of honor represent the modern spirit which now character izes men of influence and authority in Baltimore. The immediate occasion for this gathering was the recent purchase by MT. Munsey of the Baltimore Ame.,- can and it's evening edition, The Star. But there was greater significance in this ceremonious greeting of MT. Num- 'sey than. IS to be attributed to the mere 1act that he has added to his other news- paper ventures Baltimore's influential morning journal. Mir Munsey, however. has long been familiar with the oppor- tunities which Baltimore possesses for growth, Tor developing foreign commerce, anc for maintaining very large manu- facturing interests. He has spoken witb enthusiasm of these opportunities; he has sometimes referred to the fact that m Baltimore the first step was taken for the laying of rails which would cross the Alieghanies. reaching at last the Ohio river, thus establishing the now powerful Baltimore and Ohio, ralrioad system, the first trunk line system Mir. Munsey demonstrated his faith when he caused to be erected in Baltimore as fine an office building as can be found anywhere south of New York, and when he also cS- tablished a banking institution.
 Very likely it was his large invest ments of capital in Baltimore properties, newspaper, real estate and banking, which led to the invitation which brought him to Baltimore as a guest of the im- portant representative organization of that city.
 It is in fact a subject of comment that just at this time the indications of the establishment of Baltimore as the east ern terminal of a transcontinental rail- road system are so plentiful that they are occasioning much discussion. New York and Boston must be inspired by like energy and the realization of oppor- tunities which now characterize Baltimore citizens, if they are to maintain their present commercial and trade advantages.
 Baltimore is about to expend many mill lions in the improvement and enlarge ment of a system of docks and piers. Charles M. Schwab is establishing there one of the subsidiary organizations of the Bethlehem Steel company and pre- sumably it is at this plant that sone part of the iron ore which he is to ob- tain from the mines in Chili for which he has a concesson will be deposited for smelting.
 The sugar interests contemplate great increase in their refining and manufac- turing facilities at Baltimore. and the time may come when at Baltimore will be located the greatest sugar refining plant in the United States whose raw ma terial comes from Cuba

CLAY COUNTY COURT PREPARES TO HANDLE
 CHILD DELlNQUENTS

Montgomery, December 5.-(Special.)- Clay county has joined the progressive counties of Alabama, and in a short tima will have a well equipped juvenile court performing it's functions along with the other courts sof the county.
 To demonstrate the usefulness of the court, the first official act of the new probate judge of Clay, c. s. fniilips. was to commit to the Alabama Children's 8 Aid society a 3-year-old baby girl for placement. Notice of this action was received today at the office of the di- rector of child welfare of the state.
 The juvenile court of Clay county is in formative state, it was said, but with the citizens of Ashland and Lineville, as well as the entire county. aroused as to the needs of such an institution, the county will soon have court it is declared, which will be an example to every other rural county of Alabama. The law un- der which the court was organized was enacted by the legislature of 1915.

COTTON DISPLAYS
 SIGNS OF UPWARD
 TREND IN PRICES
Weeks Developments in Staple Creates Some Encourage ment-172 Points Above
 Preceding Period
By Associated p-ess

New Orleans, December 5-A rather decided tendency to react from the long decline was shown by the cotton market last week, although it still had periods of price Impressions, and on one or two sessions there were further displays of bearish sentiment.
 Highest prices came at the middle of the week, and at these levels the trading months were 163 to 172 points over the closing quotations of the preceding week, with January up to 15.72c and July up to 15.91c. Closing prices were at net ad- vances of 116 to 150 points, January clos ing at BOG and July at 15.57c- In the spot department fniddlng gained 25 points in the net results, closing at 15.5c.
 A somewhat better feeling in the spot department was one of the causes of the advance and it's effect was increased by the large export movement, total clear ances for the week amounting to 29l. .4lu bales, against 243,942 this week last year and 120,174 this week two years ago Against the market was the decision by British spinners to go on half time, but at the end of the week this was offset to some extent by reports from the Carolinass of mills resuming full time there.
 The report on the sixth ginning period of the season was a factor of much fnn- portance in the trading, and for while pedTlSH expectations TdIl iliBi tC6o oAA Q it, but at the end of the week private bureau returns of 1O,060,000 bales were disappointing to the short side, and covering movement ensued This indi- cated an output for the period of 1l4O,Ooo bales, against 1,24o,0o0 the same period last year and S65000 the same period two years ago. The sixth ginning period carried the crop down to December l, and this seasons figures compare with S,s44,3 bales ginned to the same date last year and 9.571, ,414 two years ago.
 The returns from the census bureau will be made Wednesday morning and It is considered likely that opinion regard ing the report will govern, to consider able extent, the trading of the two ses- sons of the coming week. After the gin- ming report is out interest will be taken in the annual estimate of the crop by the department of agriculture, which IS due on the 18th.

greater development of ocean commerce tran that city has heretofore possessed. IL was MT. Munsey's understanding when
 ne went to Baltimore to accept the invi- | tation to go there as the guest practical l ly of Baltimore that the citizens of Balti-
 more contemplate various activities upon | a very large scale, some of which, how
 evr, must be postponed until normal con- l ditions prevail. He also was informed that Baltimore now stands pre-eminent probably as the eastern terminal of a transcontinental railroad system which
 may be perfected within a few years. ! Gradually, but surely, various railroad properties have come under a single control and these are properties which | may be so linked as to furnsh trans continental system, the western terminal being at San Francisco and the eastern at Baltimore.
 Report was made in this column a day or two ago of the presumed ambition some years ago of Ceorge J. Gould to gain permanent reputation for construc- tive railroad work which when completed would identify him with a transcontl- mental system. It has always been the understanding that this plan was encour- aged by the so-called Rockefeller inter ests, with which Gould was associated.
 But the plan was abandoned. Mir. Gould
 practically gave up his career as active
 
 chiefly with the control and direction of the great property which his father, Jay Gould, left in trust for the benefit of the family. It is commonly reported that this property under Mir. Goulds direction has increased in value so that it is now in excess of S1o0,0O00 600.
 THE ROCKEFELLER INTERESTS The reasons are excellent for surmis- ing that so-called Rockefeller interests have never ceased contemplating a trans Dcontinental line. John D. Rockefeller
 although now in his eighty-second year.
 still reveals those extraordinary powers
 of concentration, organization and wealth
 developing influences which have always
 been characteristic of him. Those who
 know him well say he is as competent
 today to give counsel and aid when great
 railroad combinations are under consider
 ation as he would have been 20 years
 ago.
 The so-called Rockefeller interests are
 believed to control the Western Pacific
 and the Denver and Rio Grande railroads
 by which traffic between the far west
 and the Pacific coast is secured. They are
 presumed to control the Missouri Pacific,
 the Wabash, the Wheeling and Lake
 Erie and the Western Maryland railway
 systems. These might be so combined
 and affiliated as to perfect true trans continental line whose eastern terminal would be at Baltimore. The possibility of this was undoubtedly in the mind of Mr. Munsey and also in the minds Of some of the leading citizens of Baltimore who took part in the recent gathering at
 which MT. Munsey was guest.
