Services Recog

Emil A. Bengtson, who has been
county manager for the Nonpartisan
League in Brown county since last
May, has resigned this position to
accept an appointment rendered him
by League headquarters in Mime.
apolis a short time ago. He will
shortly take up advance work in the
general league organization, which
means well-merited promotion.
Mr.. Bengtson has enjoyed enviable
success in his work as county manager
for the League in Brown county and
his promotion is recognition of the
valuable services which he rendered
the organization in this county. While
his new duties will necessitate his
visiting various counties in Southern

will retain his residence here, as he
likes New Ulm and has made many
friends here. He is hustler and will
no doubt make a success of his new
line of work.

manager in Brown county has not
been appointed as yet.

AMERICA GAINING
TRADE IN ARGENTINE
(ASsociated Press)

Buenos Aires, March 19-Some
British interests here have undertake
en- a publicity campaign in what has
been referred to as "the great strug-
gle' between the United States and
Great Britain for the markets On
South America. Especial kilograms"
from London purporting to show that
the United States is losing her South
American markets. or otherwise dis
paraging the United States, have been
gratuitously distributed by British
advertising agency and have been
widely published in Argentine news
papers.
One of the kilograms was a criti-
cism of Herbert Hoover for saying
that the European countries should
"work more and ask less of the United
States" The telegram" made COM
parison between the losses sustained
by the European allies in the war,
particularly the British dominions, as
compared with those of the United
| States and pointed out that the losses
of the European countries had reduced
their productive capacity, whereas the
United States had not suffered at all
economically.
grams" quoted the president of the
British Board of Trade in London as
saying: 81 believe that the United
| States is gradually losing the markets
gained when Germany was wiped OH
| the seas and while Britain was fight

| regaining, but is Eenlarging her mar
kets in South America and the Orient.
We are replacing 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 commercial
magazine, which has published an in
| terview from DIR. Julius Klein. United
States commercial attache.
Frankly" said DR.. Klein, "I'd like
| to know in what lines the British are
enlarging their South American trade
at our expense. The latest available
figures showed anything but a loss,
so far as our business in these mar
kets is concerned. Perhaps the presi-
dent of the Board of Trade is refer
ing to prospects for 1920, for which
however, no figure sare as yet avail
able, so far as | know
Speaking in the light of the latest
statistics that we have in hand-sta-
tistics which showed that we were

one-third of all the goods she buys
abroad-and from personal observa-
tion since then, there has been no in.

REUNION OF POLAND
WITH THE OCEAN

Warsaw, March 19.-Cossing of a
wedding ring into the ocean marked
ceremonies recently held at Puck, or
Putzig, to celebrate the reuniting of
Poland to the sea, an event of which
all of Poland had dreamed for many
years. Polish troops in their north
ward march on their own soil, as pro-
vided under the treaty of Versailles.
had reached the coastline of the Bal
tic and begun to make themselves ar
home. in the stretch of land, north
west of Danzig. This brought Poland
to salt water again, after an absence
of 148 years.
While Polish ships are to have use
of wharves at Danzig, which is to be a
free port under the League of Ma
tons, the new republic is desirous of a
port which it may call it's very own,
and it is with this end in view that
the Polish government has settled
upon Puck, as it is spelled in Polish,
as a site of the port where in the fu-
ture Poland may have absolutely free
commercial access to, the sea under
jurisdiction of it's own officials.
1t was at the seaside near Puck
where formal exercises marking Po-
lands reunion to the sea were cele
brated the other day and it was a
great event. Thousands from all over
Poland assembled in holiday attire to
commemorate the historical occur
renee, and also the recovery of Polish
land which went to Prussia after Po-
lands first dismemberment by the
three conquerors, Prussia, Russia and
Austria, in 1772.
General Haller. -chiei
of the Polish army in France during
the great war and under whom thou
sands of Polish-Americans fought,
headed the military expedition which
entered Puck to reclaim in the name
of President Pilsudski, Poland's gate
way to the seven seas. The towns,
and all the villages thereabouts, were
decorated with thousands Of flags and
streamers of the Polish national col
ors, in white and scarlet, which were
flying in these parts for the first time
in century and half.
There was race of the detach-
ments of Polish soldiers to actually
reach the coast and to be the first to
dip Polish flag into the waters on
| the Baltic.
Speaking at the exercises, General
Haller said that from that day hence.
forth the seas of the world were open
TO the Polish sailor and that the
Polish seamen would be quick t.
make the best of it. Then, in accord.
ance with an old Polish tradition
General Haller threw gold ring intc
the ocean as a sign that Poland hac
been welded to the sea, this time, hi
said, he hoped forever and forever.
Plans for a Polish navy are already
under way.

BERLIN RULED
WITH BAYONETS
Rebels Left a Bloody Remembrance
on the City as They
Reiterated

Undated-(By Associated Press).-
Berlin is still under bayonet rule but
Ebert troops patrol the streets. The
revolutionary forces have departed,
but left chaos, as the rear guard turn
ed against the jeering crowds in the
Inter Den Linden, killing many citi-
zens and wounding scores. There was
rnore bloodshed near the parliament
buildings, while in Charlottenburg ana
ether suburbs clashes between revo-
lutionary troops and citizens resulted
in the loss of life.
Reports from outside Berlin are of
such character that a clear view is un-
Cbtainable. While soviets are said to
have been formed in a number of i'm
pOrtant industrial districts, it does
not appear that the movement is gain
ing any momentum.
Forty or fifty thousand soldiers are
said to have been involved in the revo-
luticn. The leaders will be arrested,
,'rk amnesty will be granted to the
sthers.

THE COURT OF SPAIN

Madrid, Feb. 26.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press.)-The royal
house of Spain, despite the democratic
nature of the king and people, alone
among the remaining courts of Eu-
rope, retains all the old world formal
tiles, which up to the outbreak of the
war were so vigorously observed In
Vienna, st. Petersburg, Berlin and to
a more or less extent in London, Rome
and some of the smaller capitals of
Europe.
This is due TO large extent to the
queen mother, Maria Christina, who
remains all powerful In court circles
and is a stickler for the observance
OF those forms and ceremonies which
marked all occasions at the court of
Austria, where. as a grand duchess,
she learned them
King Alfonso, after receiving in the
throne room at the palace in the
morning, may rub shoulders with
jockeys, bookmakers and the general
Iun of racegoers at the track IN the
afternoon, but when he returns to the
palace in the evening he resumes, as
it were. the crown. 1t is generally
reported that to him the afternoon,
free from conventionalities, is the
happiest part of his day and that he
has often expressed desire when har-
rassed by the political troubles Of
his country, which seem never to set
tie down. to leave it all and take his
family off to some South American re-
public and engage in the breeding o.
horses, of which he is passionately
fond.
The strict formality of the court
was observed at the banquet and re-,
ception given TO the diplomatic corps
short time ago when for the first
time the representatives Of all coup-
tries had been invited to the same
function since the summer of 1914.
The guests saw display of jewels,
which probably could not be matched
outside of Asia. Although the diplo-
mats were the guests of the evening,
the younger members of the roya4
family preceded them and were to
the right and left of Queen Victoria
a. the tables, the ambassadors and
ministers of state coming after them.
Dinner over, the king and queen
with the royalties and dinner guests
formed in procession down a long re-
ception hall where the foreign repre-
sentatives presented the members of
their stats.

NO FLU IN BRAZIL

Rio de Janeiro, March 19.-Thus far
Brazil has been immune from the cpl
demic of influenza that visited North
America. Health authorities declare
there is no case of the disease in this
city now but they are making pre-
parations to cope with it should it ap-
pear. Rigid quarantine is being main
tanned against ships coming from in
fected ports and several trans-Atlan-
tic liners having influenza cases
aboard have been quarantined. School
buildings are being transformed into
hospitals where patients will be iso-
lated and every effort viii be made to
stamp out the disease in its beginning.

THOSE RAMSEY SIGNS

Nothing has been more noticeable
in Ocala for some time than the at
tractive signs that the Ramsey Com
pany is making all over town. They
are every one works of art and show
that the company employs only the
best of painters. If you have not yet
consulted the Ramsey Company about
a sign for your window do so at once,
as they will not be In Ocala long.
Many of their patrons wait for their
appearance each year to have their
signs renewed. Their prices are most
reasonable, considering the high class
of workmanship they furnish. 1t
