BRITISH KNOCK
~. S. IN SOUTH
AMERICA MARKET
Commercial Attack Klein Says
United States Continues To
Gain American Exporter
Willing To Meet British Com
4 petition At Any Time.
(By The Associated Press.)

Buenos Aires, March 17.-Some
British interests have undertaken a
publicity camuaign in what has been
referred to as 'the great struggle
between the United States and Great
Britain for the markets of South Am
erica. Special kilograms" from Lon
don purporting to show that the I'm
tied States is losing her South Am
erican markets, or otherwise disparag
ing the United States, have been gra-
tuitously distributed by British
Advertising agency and have been
widely published in Argentine news
;; papers. ~-- -
Ore Of the kilograms was a criti-
cism Of Herbert Hoover for saying
that the European countries should
"work more and ask less Of the Unit
ed States" The telegram" made a
comparison between the losses sus-
tained by the European allies in the
war, particularly the British domin-
ions, as compared with those of the
United States and pointed out THAI
the losses of the European countries
had reduced their productive capacity
whereas the United States had not
suffered at all economically.
Another Of these special telegrams'
quoted the President of the British
Board of Trade in London as saying:
II believe that the United States is
, gradually losing the markets gained
when Germany was wiped off the seas
and while Britain was fighting in the
war. Britain is not only regaining,
but is enlargirg her markets in South
America and the Orient We are re-
placing Germany in Latin America
and supplanting the United States in
war markets."
The truth Of this statement as far
as it concerned Argentina was inn
mediately challenged by the RIVER
PLATE AMERICAN, a weekly COM
mercial magazine, which has publish
ell an interview. from DR. julius Klein,
United States Commercial attache.
Frankly" said Dr.. Klein, "Pd like
to know in what lines the British are
charging their South America trade
at our expense. The latest available
figures showed anything but loss,
so far as our business in these mar
kets is concerned. Perhaps the pre-
sldent of the Board of Trade is re-
terring to prospects for 1920, for
which, however, no figures are as yet
available, SO far as know.
Speaking in the light of the lat
est statistics that we have in hand
statistics showed that we were SELL
ing to Argentina approximately one
third Of all the goods she buys a.
broad-and from personal observa-
zion since ther, there has been no in
dication of losses to American trade.
I have no doubt that We are going to
meet with good strong competition
from the British, but the inclination
of the American exporter seems to
be to say, come or; we're ready for
it."

A strange fortune had brought him
the very information he most needed.
His whole thought conferred instantly
on the fate of the girl. What course
would she choose under these circun1-
stances. when the facts were finally
revealed to her? Undoubtedly she be-
lleved him dead; her captors would
impress that fact upon her first of all,
so as to make her realize her COM
plete helplessness. Besides, she cared
nothing for him; had married him in
differently, merely to thus escape
from a worse fate. He could not hope
that loyalty to him, unde~ such condi-
tions, would greatly influence her de-
cision. Somehow the thought hurt
Shelby, and brought to him the knowl-
edge that he did care. He cared very
much indeed, and this truth coloPed
his thought and decision.
He dare not follow those men at
present; he could only wait where he
was, and plan his course of action.
There was no danger Of his losing
them, for he knew where they were
going, and, in a measure, at least,
about who they were. Shelby had
never been in that strange sink known
as Wolves hole, but he had talked
with a man who had. An immense
hole in the Bad Lands, through which
flowed branch of the Cottonwood,
strange malformation of nature, so
completely concealed as to be invisible
until the surprised traveller stood on
it's very edge, and stared down into
the gloomy depths below. The walls
were precipitous impossible except
on foot by daylight, and at only two
points could the sink be entered on
horseback; from the west beneath the
protection of a cataract, where the
stream plunged headlong over high
ledge Of stone, and from the other
extremity down narrow ravine
through tunnel scoOped out by some
torrent in long-past ages. Originally
discovered by wandering trappers,
who camped there out of the winter
storms, it had later become the head
quarters for an Illicit Indian trade in
liquor, and finally the rendezvous for
criminals of all kinds, eager to ges |
beyond the reach Of the law. 1t was |
rumored that there was actually a
town there, with women of a class, |
with certain rude attempt at gov
eminent by a few self-constituted au.
thorities.

Natural coIored SILK.

Experiments made in France have,
it is reported, shown that the yellow
and green colors possessed by the silk
spun by certain caterpillars are due to
coloring matter derived from the
food, and passed through the blood Of
the spinners. BY impregnating leaves
with artificial colOrs the eXperimenters
caused some species of caterpillars to
produce silk of bright orange yellow
and fine rose hues.
BY the aid of the spectroscope the
presence and nature of coIored pig
ments in the blood of the little crea-
lures was established.

a higher point of rock, lying concealed
scene below through the field glasses.
| He never had been there before, yet
he knew about where he was; this
must be Dragon creek, and not far
below would be Wolves hole of which
he often had heard-a famous hiding
place for cattle thieves and border
outlaws. These fellows evidently were
heading for there, but would they try
to complete the journey? His hope
centered on their camping somewhere
until morning: if sufficiently assured
of safety this would probably be their
choice Through the field glasses he
studied the course of the stream, and
the little patches of wood intently. At
last he was rewarded-a faint spiral
of blue smoke arose above some. dis
tant trees, the evidence of a camp
fire. He lay there motionless, silent,
his eyes glued to the glass, planning
his action, and waiting for the night.

leading down was narrow, and rock
strewn, and he determined to try the
passage while a faint glimmer of twi-
light yet fingered. Leading the buck
skin, and moving with the utmost eau
ton, he began the descent.
The gloom did not greatly retard his
movements, for, through the glasses,
he had mapped out the salient fea-
lures, and so impressed them upon his
memory as to go forward now con-
fidently. The camp fire was located in
the third grove of trees, and there
were no signs of human presence be-
tween. However he took no chance,
but advanced quietly on foot, leading
his horse, and using every procaution
against discovery.
He circled the two groves, keeping
close in their shadow. and searching
their depths anxiously for any sign of
life. They were desolate and desert

ahead. 1t was no longer flame, but

TOKYO, April 5.-All of Japan, at

which has led Viscount Uchida, min
lister of foreign affairs, and the most
important members of his staff to in

designations are wanted, they are will

This action follows certain form
of "near-resignation" which accords

which there is no corresponding word

speculation was indulged in and this
was heightened when the premier ask

taking up the matter in interplota-

this advice was strictly followed add

and when this was followed by strict
instructions from the police, served on
the newspapers forbidding them from
publishing certain matters relating to
foreign politics, the public stood on
tiptoe.
Various gaesses have been indulged
in, the disagreement between the
foreign office and; the ministry of war
with regard to the Siberian situation
being favorite one, but it is, as
matter of fact, certain that the ques-

politics, namely no less than remark
which King George of England is said
to have made to Prince Saionji, Jap

conference, when he called at the
British court on his way home to Jap

It is said that Prince Saionji re.
