ware exports of Germany recently have
amounted to only about 40 percent of
the pre-ware figures, according to an

it is said, is due to the protective mea-

die until she was almost the "last

Balboa remaiHGd nearly q
month on the coast, collected
booty Of all sorts from the native

to Darien. He sent messengers
to the King with gifts and was
rewarded by the monarch with
the title Admiral Of the Pacific"
Nevertheless, an expedition was
sent from Spain under Pedratias
to take over the governorshlp OF
Darien. Pedrarias got possession
of Balboa by treachery and had
him executed on q charge Of trea-

the Indians liked him.
One Of the Indians told Balboa
Of the great ocean beyond the
mountains and Of the country Of
gold beyond. Balboa, Of course,
supposed the Indies were meant,
but Peru was actually the land
in the mind Of the Indian.
Hearing that a ship from Spain
was coming with an order for
his arrest, Balboa decided to do
something sensational and thus
secure favor with the King of
Spain. Accordingly he organized
an expedition to go in search of
the new ocean and the land Of
gold.
Balboa marched with quite an
army, for he had 100 Spaniards
and nearly one thousand Indians
in his train. Among his own
countrynen was Francisco Pr
Zarro.
They marched through 1ungles
and over steep hills for nearly q
month before coming in sight Of
