Cancelled ORDERS
WORRY BUSINESS
Threatens Bad Situation Unless
Stopped, Says U. S. Cham
ber of Commerce.

A heavy cancellation OF oroers
threatens to develop serious bush
ness situation, according to a nation-
wide survey just completed by the
National Chamber of Commerce.
Most cancellations are largely due
either directly or indirectly to chaotic
conditions arising from war times"
declares the report made today. 1t is
based upon replies received to a ques-
tionnaire sent to 100 leading trade as
sociations. The percentage reporting
that customers fail to recognize the
sacredness of contract was compare
lively small.
Analysis of the replies has shown
the chief reasons for cancellation as
follows: Inability of manufactures to
make prompt delivery; overstock: de-
clining business: revision of produc-
ton schedule: financial embarrass-
ment; refusal OF the public to buy at
present prices.
There is danger" the report con-
tinues, that unless a definite stand is
taken against any tendency to regard
cancellation of orders as unimportant
and unless there is cultivation of a
general feeling that an order is to be
considered more than a mere memo
randum, this evil will assume serious
The investigation was prompted by
reports that cancellations were be-
coming so general as to force plants
to shut down or curtail production
through general conditions seemed to
call for increased production. All in
dustries were asked to furnish rea-
sons given for cancellation.
The investigation also showed that
British lace and hosiery manufactur-
crs and exporters at Nottingham,
England. were having the same expe-
rience with cancellation of orders.
The Exporters Association recently
decided upon a course of action vir-
tually amounting to BLACKLIST for
dealers cancelling orders without
good reason.
American manufacturers, however
express no intention of adopting that
English system. +. w. Mccullough,
who directed the National Chamber of
Commerce investigation, will hold a
series of conferences with the credit
cooperative executive committee OF
the National Association of Credit
Men in New York, to devise equitable
means for handling cancellations.

INTERNATIONAL BANK MOVE.

Announcement was made today that
the organization committee of the In
ternational bank of this city has Sc
cured an interest in the capital stock
of the Merchants Bank, as a first
move to obtaining control in several
banks in the city with a view to even
tual consolidation and the establish
ment of a large trust company.
John r. Waller. with offices in the
AcLachlen Building, who is counsel
of the new bank committee, is an at
torney by profession, and during the
war was stationed in the judge advo-
cate generals department of the
army.
He states that the international
Bank is chartered with a capital of
S3,OOO,OOO, and the articles empower
it to engage in a nationwide banking
business and to own and control banks
in the several States.
Many shar6holders OF the bank are
said to be located in thirty States of
the Union, and 1t is the desire of Mr..
Waller and others interested in the
project to have each State repre-
sented.

shores OF Lake Albert Nyanza- We
lived with them for a week.
"In hunting. however, they are
brave. They do not hesitate TO at
tack elephants, and even the rhin-
oceros. They will stay on the trail
OF a single elephant for a month at
a time. until they finally kill him by
exhaustion. They attack him from
the trees with small darts ana
arrows"
DR.. Vandenbergh told of another
tribe-the Masai-which is gradually
being terminated by diseases. he
, said this tribe was composed OF the
bravest men he had ever met, and
that they were subjected from boy
hood to a rigorous training that was
Spartan in It's severity.
While with this tribe he took mo-
tion picture OF a lion hunt in which
the members OF the tribe-ettacked the
king of beasts armed only with spears
and knives. I'VE had the lion trap
ped" he said, "and II was only thirty
yards from the camera when II
charged on the Nasal One OF the
tribesmen threw his spear, but missed.
The second spear pierced the lions
and entered the shoulder. Before the
injured lion could recover, another
native rushed upon IL and broke It's
backbone by a mighty blow with his
spear"
FOLLOWS ROOSEVELT TRAIL.
DIR. Vandenbergh went over the same
territory as the late Colonel Roose-
welt, with the exception that he pene-
trated into the virgin forest OF the
Congo. He said he had encountered
one man who had hunted with the
renowned "Bwana Tumbo." This man
told him the tribes had heard OF Col
onel Roosevelts death and greatly
mourned the noted hunter.
While in British East Africa Dr.
Vandenbergh discovered an atrocity
that has been committed by the Wa
Kikuyu tribe for centuries, and his
representations to the British authori-
ties resulted in checking it. This
atrocity consisted of placing dying
members of the tribe in the jungle
with little food and fire, and then
abandoning them to their fate, with
the result that they were generally
oevoured by hyenas.
He said this custom arose through
the supcrstitition of the tribesmen
would die themselves within five
days.
EGYPT HAS FAITH IN U. $.
In connection with the granting Of
autonomy to Egypt, DR.. Vandenbergh
said that while he was in that country
and the Sudan he had been frequent
ly asked whether America VIC uld not
,takeNa mandatory for Egypt. The
Egyptians told me that they had more
faith in America and THAI they fee
sure that America would give them u
business government and then auto
nomy.
DR.. VandenberSi reported new
disease which had wiped out an en-
tire village on the shores of Albert
Nyanza The malady was discovered
by a Dane named Stevens, who acted
as commissioner of the BelSi ian
government. Only vague inforamtiOn
of the disease, which proved fatal
within forty-eight hoars after infrc-
tion, was obtained.
He brought back complete photo
graphic records of the customs and
habits of nine tribes, as follows: The
Nyamjika, Wakamba, Wakuyu, Nasal.
