GERMANY Is REGAINING
HOLD ON LATIN TRADE
Nationals Also Going Into South
America-France and q. S.
Drop Back
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, June 14.-The
German flag ranked an easy second
in Argentina's trade before the war
and, despite the surrender of the Ger
man mercantile marine, it has almost
regained that position since the sign
ing of the peace treaty, according to
shipping statistics just published. The
premier place is still held by the
British, whose vessels at present
handle about 45 per cent of Argen-
tina's foreign trade
1t probably will be a close thing be-
tween the Italians and Germans as to
who will occupy second place in Ar
gentinas carrying trade this year
but it is believed that the Germans
will win back their old position in the
course of two or three years as every
month sees a new German liner in
these waters. France and the United
States would appear to be dropping
back in the race.
Germans are migrating by thou
sands to Argentina, which affords
special incentives and attractions for
them. Quite a number of German
colonies are springing up, especially
in north Argentina, and these Great e
a natural trade with their homeland
Also they give plenty of scope for
expansion to the German steamship
lines, who also have been lately spe-
cializing in what may be termed sec
ond class or one class passenger
steamers. German vessels today bring
the greater proportion of north Eu-
ropean passengers to Argentina.

The now famous line, And the

have originated in this play. In addi-
tion to his engagements in the "Ie-

SCOUTS APPRECIATIvE
OF WCAP EXPLOIT
Leader Expresses Thanks to Com
pany for Memorial Day
Broadcasting.

The appreciation of the Boy Scouts
the Memorial day services in Airing
ton cemetery is voiced in a letter di-
rected to C. T. Clagett, division man
ager of the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company, by L. A. Snead,
president of the executive board of
the scout organization.
The letter follows:
"On behalf of the District of Colum-
bia Council of the Boy Scouts of
America, 1 am writing to express the
gratitude of the scouts and my per-
sonal appreciation for the broadcast
ing of the Memorial day services at
Arlington.
The Boy Scouts are deeply inter
ested in radio and recognize that the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company is doing more than prob
ably any other agency in the devel-
opment of this wonderful agency of
amusement and information. am
sure you have received the gratitude
of millions of people in the splendid
broadcasting service you have in
stituted and maintained.
Il have the impression that possi-
bly, great many of the beneficiaries
of this wonderful service you have
afforded have not taken the time to
express themselves in this direction
AS matter of fact, have been some
what delinquent in this direction my
self, as I have been intending to
write you for some time. 1t is my
feeling that in the broadcasting Of
the memorial services the agency of
the radio reached perhaps the high
est point yet attaixed. and I could
not help but feel, as 1 listened to the
Presidents address and those who
followed him, that all of those who
had the privilege Of listening in were
benefited as a result of that expert
ence and to indulge in the hope that
in the future this wonderful agency
might be availa BILE to the majority of
the citizens of the republic
On behalf of the Boy Scouts.
therefore, I want to express the ap-
probation and gratitude of the scouts
for the service rendered by WCAP
and WEAF in the rendition of this
splendid program. 1t is difficult if
hot Impossible, to appraise the good
being done by your company in this
direction
