South America. New Orleans has an
advantage of several hundred miles
and therefore is in good position to
ultimately handle a greatly increased
portion Of exports to that territory.
Another general impression that the
Shipping Boards investigation will
upset is that San Francisco and San
Diego are much closer to the ports
on the western coast of South America
than New York, Philadelphia, Norfolk
and the other Atlantic ports. The
fact is that New York Is 400 miles
closer to the western ports of South
America, by way Of the Panama Canal
than San Diego.
Because the United States is CIR
the Western Hemisphere it is the
common belief that the trade of South
America naturally belongs to the
United States because Of our close
ness to the South American ports.
But the truth is that Gibraltar and
Liverpool are closer to the eastern
ports of South America by the sea
routes than the Atlantic ports.
Mr.. Clements, who ranks as
special assistant to Admiral Benson,
is making a complete digest of Amer
ica's exports and imports with par
ticular reference to points of origin
and destination.
Americas imports follow much the
same illogical routes. With Ameri-
cas- coffee market in New York prac-
tically all of the coffee from Brazil,
Guatemala. Costa Rica and other pro-
ducing countries comes direct to New
York and sold f. o. b. New York.
Many tons Of coffee that are imported
through San Francisco are carried all
the way east and then reshipped back
to the West. Even though the ship
ments are sometimes held at San
Francisco and do not go east the cof-
fee is sold, as general rule, at the
New York price plus the freight to
San Francisco.
When the Shipping Boards plans
are worked out there may come an
entire Encouragement of routes for
imports and exports if the business
interests of the country are disposed
to carry out the plans based upon
economy and conservatism OF time in
transportation.
But before tho plans can be carried
to an ultimate conclusion it will be
necessary for the other ports to be
able to offer the same financial as
sistance to the shippers that are now
obtainable chiefly in New York. II
is a well known fact that an exporter
can present railroad bill of lading
in New York and Immediately obtain
upwards of 20 per cent. of the value
Of his shipment in cash from the New

Mrs. Lena Johnson, of Rob

has been suffering with a dir
illness of the head, would bloat
up and experience a smothering
sensation. At times she felt as
if she would stifle to death with
Indigestion and female troubles.
She tried doctors medicines and
Lydia E. Pinkham's remedies
without results. Finally she
tried a bottle of Davis Union
Tonic and received instant re-
lief. The second day after she
began taking Union Tonic, she
passed hundreds of stomach
worms and in a few days she
was entirely relieved. She states
that she now feels like a new

PROBERS
PLAN CONTINUE
INVESTIGATIONS

Washington, Jan. 1O-+After months
Of investigation which produced little
that was subject to just criticism, it
develops that the several house sub
committees named by the republicans
to investigate war expenditures are
to continue their expenditure Of time
and money with the reassembling OF
congress.
The Graham subcommittee, which
recently made a preliminary report
to the house, is scheduled soon to go
on. a junket to two or more southern
army camps, there to take further
testimony regarding war contracts.
One OF these sub committees, 1T will
be recalled. went to France to pursue
its partisan investigation, while an
other went to the Pacific coast and
still another to army camps in the
west and southwest
No specific recommendation nor in
definite report of fraud has yet come
from these house Investigating com
mittees. Their inquiries, following
the successful conclusion Of the war
brought about speedily by the added
power of American arms, have never
received general approval from the
public Nevertheless, the committees
continue their probes, hoping to de
velop something that will discredit
the conduct of thew ar by the war
department and the administration.
Editorial and public comment on the
activities Of these smelling commit
tees" as a rule deplores the attempt
to detract at this date from the
achievements Of the war department
and the nation in the conduct Of he
greatest war in history. This com
ment is not confined entirely to adj
herents of the party in power but
Independent men and newspapers. as
well as some fair-minded republicans
believe these captious Investigations
to be a mistake.

That Mr. Dunbar was able to
bring such a production and east t.
the smaller cities, was commented
upon editorially- by such prominent
newspapers as the Burlington Hawk
eye, the Rockford Republic and the

these editorial utterances is that
when an American producer with
digcernment, enterprise, judgment
and conscientious attention to detail
furnishes the money and brains to
bring to the smaller cities a produc-
