GERMAN COMPETITION
 IS SEVERELY FELT

Buenos Aires, Sept. 1-Gernan competition with American trade in Argentina Is severely felt, and in some instances American articles have been busted from the market says Edward r. Freely, commercial attaohe at the American embassy. This is especially true in the trade in small nfanufac- tured articles, but tho Germans are less effective in selling heavy ma chinery, locomotives, rails and other
 large steel products. They have as yet
 been unable to make sufficiently quick
 deliveries, although they frequently quote low prices.
 Tho competition in tho trade in
 small articles shows no signs of weak
 ening, and with sone products, not ably cheap watches, the Germans flooded the market some time ago. shipping 750,oO0 time pieces into Ar
 genttna and selling them below the cost of production and shipment of similar watches in the United States German cutlery and small hardware can be obtained at prices one third less than those charged for Amerfcan products. They have also won from | Americans the trade in drugs and chemicals. . Stationery and paper and small | electrical supplies are also selling | cheaper at the expense Of American | business. Germans are quoting low ! prices on print paper, and have made l large deliveries of this product

FIELD MARSHAL VON BUELOW IS
 DEAD IN BERLIN

Berlin, Sept 1~F7e1d Marshal Karl W. P. Ven BueIoT, commander of the Second German army from the beginning of the great war until June 1916, died here yesterday. He was in command of German troops which crossed the Belgian frontier in Au- gust 1914, and was later in charge of the Second Army when it had been shifted southward to the neighbor- hood of Rheims. It was alleged by the Allies that Field Marshal Won Bue- low ordered the execution of civilians at IAege, Belgium, and was respon- sible for the bombardmen of Rheims Cathedral, which virtually destroyed that ancient ediice.

MORE TAX LITIGATION
IS PROBABILITY.
o.
State Conventions Action Causes
Difference of Opinion AS To
Payments.

Baton Rouge, La The Board
of State Affairs is holding that the
exemption from state taxes passed
On by the Constitutional conven-
ton do not apply for this year.
and that the items which are ex-
empted under the new law must
be paid for 1921. The new regula-
ton became effective Friday.
Other officials, however hold
that the exemption granted by the
state Constitution in 1921 are ef-
fective for this year, and that the
state cannot collect taxes on the
exemptions granted.
The big item of exemptions is
credits. The credit exemptions
alone will amount to $40,000,O0C
and the other credits in live stock
household goods and farming i'm.
IpIementS, will so ten millions ad'
ditional. AS the Board of State
affairs has instructed the asses,
SorS TO put these exempt items or
the rolls for this year, the issue
is certain to promptly find its way
into the courts.

MAOE FAT HAUL
AT SMITHS STORE

Some time Monday night burg
lars entered R. Smiths store,
taking a large qusntity of valu-
able merchandise. Among the
articles missed by Mr.. Smith was
five suits Of clothes, two suit
cases, an number of pairs of
shoes. one dozen silk shirts, ties
belts. etc., the exact amount of
which the proprietor was unable
to determine. He estimates the
loss at around $4,000.
Entry to the store was made
through the rear door, a hatchet
being used to pry off the lock.
The hatchet awaits a claimant.
The fact that these night at
tacks occur at regular and quite
frequent intervals, coupled with
other details, makes it almost
certain that local talent is impli-
Gated.
There is hardly a business es-
tablishment in town but what
has been visited one or more
times during the last six months.

Reason for Suicide.

The body found last Sunday in
English Bayou between the con-
crete bridge on the gravel road

been Unidentified as that of O. w.
