JAPAN ACTIVE IN TRADE.
Strong Competitor in South Amer.
lea. Mr.. Barrett Warns.

Japan is a foreful competitor of the
United States for the trade of the
Latin American countries, built up
during the past six years. according
to John Barrett, director general OF
the Pan-American Union, speaking
at the fifth lyceum of the Southern So
ciety, at tthe National Museum.
+ The most remarkable immediate
feature of competition with the
United States in the field of Latin
American trade" he said, lis the
! forceful and comprehensive entrance
into it on big scale of Japan, with
China also planning as never before
to get her share of it. Japan is es-
tablishing such extensive steamship
facilities and sending so many trade
representatives to Latin America that
! she is entitled to great credit for her
enterprise. even though it may be a
serious menace to the commerce OF
the United States.
The great mistake must not be
made that the United States has any
prior right to the trade of Latin
America. but that it simply has equal
rights with other countries and pos
sesses certain advantages of both ex-
port and import demand that will
make it always the leading buyer and
seller throughout Latin America IL it
improves these advantages and plays
the game square.

GERMAN LANGUAGE
COURSE |SFAV0RED

Resumption of the teaching OF the
German language in the public schools
of Washington, which is provided Tor
in the District appropriation bill
passed by the House was heartily ap-
proved today by school officials. In
struction of German in the schools was
abandoned in 1918 by Congress at the
request Of educational authorities.
All school officials expressed the
opinion that German is the language
that the world is going to use, ana
believe that it is only proper that
,, students in Washington high schools
be given an opportunity to familiarize
themselves with it. For many obvious
reasons, including the continuance OF
American trade relations with Ger
many, they point out. its teaching Is
absolutely essential.
Favor study OF German.
supt. Thurston stated today that it
is entirely proper to resume the teach-
ing of German, and he has felt that
II soon was to be added to the cur
riculum of the high schools. How far
the students should go into its study
he said, is up to educational author-
tiles to decide.
Virtually the same opinion was
voiced by Asst. Supt. stephen E.
Kramer. DR.. John Van Schaick. jr..
president Of the board of education,
asserted that he favored the teaching
of the German language in Washing
ton schools. ITS a language the
world is going to use" he said. THE
British. French and Belgians are
studying it, and ! see no reason why
it should not be taught in our
schools"
Problem Not PerpIexing.
TT tho teaching Of this language is
resumed it. will cause no perplexing
problems for the school officials to
solve. Only a few additional German
tea achers will be needed, as many OF
them who taught the language before
the war are still in the school system
teaching other subjects. All the off,
cials will have to do is to relieve these
teachers Of their present subjects and
obtain a few additional instructors.

HOSTAGE THREAT HELD
OVER RUSSIAN AVIATORS
Bolshevist Army Officers Adopt
Drastic Rule to Prevent De-
sertion by Flyers.

WARSAW, March 10 Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).-Avia-
tors of the Russian bolshevik army
have been warned that their wives or
near relatives will be held as hostages
if they fail to return from a flight. ac-
cording to a story told to the Poles by
one Russian flyer who came down
within the Polish lines near Dvinsk.
The Russian aviator denied that his
own landing was premeditated, and
asserted that he loved his wife too
much to leave her as a hostage. He
said the order resulted from discovery
by the bolshevik commanders that a
number of their flyers had planned to
desert and use their planes to seek
refuge in Poland. The plane used by
the bolshevik was of an obsolete type
built in France early in the war and
had seen hard usage.

SIGNS OF LOST CONTINENT
Study of Fossils Has Led Scientists
to Believe 1t Existed in the
Caribbean Sea.

Capt. ii. E. Anthony, associate cura-
tor of the department of mammals OF
the American Museum of Natural His
tory, back from an exploration trim
through the West Indies, brought with
him an aSSemblage of fossil mammals
of ancient types and strange ancestry,
found recently in Porto Rico and Cuba.
which indicate the possibility that at
one time the West Indies had a much
larger mammal inhabitation than to-
day.
The fossils strongly suggest, if not
the existence of some mainland con-
nection far back in the geologic age.
at least the union at some time Of
most of the Great Antilles into large
Antillean continent. This continent,
if it existed, must have lain in the
Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean
sea, with the longer axis east and
west, and must have been an import
ant land mass, according to Captain
Anthony with large rivers and mighty
mountain ranges rising as high rs 20.
GOO feet or more above sea level.
This theory rests on Spencer's
studies and charts, Spencer having
concluded from the conformation of
the sea that in tertiary times there
must have been an elevation Of this
surfpCe Of somewhat between a mile
and a half and two and half miles.
AS the ridges Of the sea bottom seem
to follow out the general direction of
the mountain ranges at present exist
ing on the islands, he derived the the
DRY that the underSea ridges We're orig
inally parts of the same system.
AS the island ranges have an alti-
tude Of from 1000 to 5000 feet. the
mountains of the now disappeared
continent would have been something
like 10000 feet high. The channels
in the underSea surface, running at
right angles to the ridges, seem to
have been cut by great rivers flowing
down the mountain sides.

CONSIDER AGENCIES
FOR FARM PRODUCTS
(Rv Associated Press)

ST. LOUIS, Dec 1S-Plans for car
rying on the various cooperative
agencies through which it is proposed
to distribute the farming produce Of
the nation were under consideration
here today at the final session of the
conference of agricultural representa-
tives, called by the National oBard of
Farm Organizations.
Delegates viewed the action taken
by the conference yesterday in enter
ing the formation of cooperative or
ganization to handle grain and live
stock, as important steps in aiding the
farming industry. By preventing en-
tire crops from being put on the mar
ket at one time, it was asserted, spec
llative middlemen will be done away
with to the consequent benefit of pro-
ducers and consumers.
A proposal to unite their forces in
purchasing agricultural supplies was
also before the conference. Propon-
ents emphasized that better prices
could be obtained by such arrange
ments and that it will eliminate waste
