Ink Thieves
ORGANIZED TO
ROB STEAMERS


j. Buenos Aires. Feb. 27.-Bclief
That Z widespread International or
fkanixation II at work stealing mer-
xchnndise from steamships 10 ex-
pressed IN report Of the United
States Chamber OF Commerce in
Argentina. The chamber inveSt-
xAted the loss Of valuable mefchan-
disc by offering from ships plying
10 this port and found that the
same characteristics are visible In
thefts of merchandise from Italy.
Spain and England as from the
United States"
The investigation was made 1t
The request Of the allied chamber
OF commerce which asked all the
members to make similar investi-
cations.
Increase Alarming.
"The increase In pilferage dur
ing the past few months had been
alarming" says the report. An
effort was made to deduce from the
evidence received the value OF the
goods stolen, but this was impos-
sible although in general terms it
would seem to run into hundreds
OF thousands OF dollars gold.
"One curious feature developed
which was that pilferage occurs
with frequency in articles sent by
parcels post, for which there is no
recourse II no value has been de-
clared.
1.-THE thefts have all the charac-
teristics of systematized robbery
BY people who know the merchan-
disc and also know the peculiari-
ties Of the shippers. 1t would seem,
moreover, that widespread inter
national organization was at work
for the same characteristics are
visible in thefts of merchandise
from Italy. France, Spain and Eng
land as from the United States.
"One house imported a lot Of 30
automobiles. 1t Is the custom OF
this factory to pack the set OF tools
in one special corner Of the case.
A hole was cut into this particular
corner Of 20 cases and the tool
sets were removed. Apparently
the thieves knew exactly where to
look for the articles they desired
Another house which imports
dry goods found that zinc-lined
cases had been opened, the silk
contents removed and an equal
weight of coal put into the cases
which were nailed up. Another
house which also imports dry
goods had several cases OF silk

THE public must be advised that there
is ew standard of prices for wearing ap-
parel, than in 1914 the textile and needle in
dustries insofar as concerned labor were
of the poorest paid industries, and that they
are now paying an adequate wage, and that
the public should expect this condition to
reflect itself in the future retail price of
clothing, and that there is nothing in the
present condition to warrant any one in the
belief that there can be any material reduc-
ton in the price of clothing

drawn up by the assembled nations,
and through it all, Americas part
was the clearest, the cleanest, and
the highest minded of all In every
nation, men and women rejoiced
that the spirit of Americas flag was
being translated into actual accom-
plishment, a8d in that rejoicing we
shared Today the accomplishment
of the League of Nations has been
made We, the nation whose ideals
made it possible, remain without.
The flag which carried the hope and
the promise is beginning to be view
ed with different eyes abroad.
Not only in France, not only in
Europe, but in all the peoples of the
world, lies that hope in our flag.
They ask US to go in. They ask not
for new peace commission, not for
new theory, not for a new confer
ence to draw up new set of rules.
They ask fair trial for what we
have undertaken. They ask that

"Shall we refuse? Shall we for
