SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES NEED MORE IMMIGRANTS

Three Times Present Population Can Be Sustained, is Claim of Writer.

(New York Sun) South America needs Immigration.

The continent is large enough to

maintain a population at least three times its present size, as there 13 still plenty of elbow room and a sufficient quantity of good, livable teritory that can bo developed for tho purposes of feeding an increaaed number of people that may choose to go there. An Indication that certain European countries aro soon to open their doors and permit natives to leave the country for the new world Is given in ro3orts that the Germans are preparing 10 emigrate to South America on a large scale. The German population in South America is already a large one, and covers nearly every section of the continent. German colonies may be found in Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. German colonies may be found in Contral America and in Mexico. It seems that there isn't a Latin American country that hacn't been touched by the great flood of German

Immigration before the great war. Whether this great emigration policy will be followed by other nations In Europe remains to be seen. Europe needs a lot of patching up and a lot of labor to reconstruct all the things that she lost during the war. Labor Js required to rebuild Belgium, France, Italy as well as certain parts of Russia. Whether these countries will be able economically to release this potential factor in reconstruction is a ouestion that the future only can answer. On the other hand, while Germany Buffered from the usual consequences involved In the fate of the vanquished, nevertheless she came out of the struggle with her country practically intact. No cities were leveled; no productive regions were laid waste, and no immediate reconstruction problems are facing her. It would seem, therefore, that of all the nations in Europe, Germany is in a far better position to permit emigration to foreign soil. Press dispatches seem to indicate that she is preparing to adopt this policy on a tremendous scale, particularly to South America. Argentina Half Foreign. In view of the heavy immigration of Germans before the war, and the prospective coming of thousands of others to the South American continent, the

This picture offers striking evi

dence of the scarcity of automobiles and trucks in the German capital. It was taken during the

recent trolley strike in Berlin. Had there been a similar strike in any great American city, not a horse-drawn vehicle would be in sight, and the street would be

crowded with autos and trucks. On the outbreak of the war there were only 69,000 automobiles in all Germany, and there are doubtless fewer today.

Yet Uruguay has an area of 72,172 square miles, which is nearly a third the size of France, nearly twice tho size of the island of Cuba, which, from tho American viewpoint, is not quite as small an island as many suspect, and larger by some 23,000 square miles than Poland. Uruguay's population is only 1,225,000, according to the latest census figures; every bit of its land is practically inhabitable, while Cuba has a population of 2,40G,177, and enjoys a tropical climate.

ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 7 To provide Atlanta citizens with food in case the part freight embargo declared by Southern railroads becomes complete. Mayor Key today after a conference with other city officials decided to ask the City council for an immediate appropriation of $50,000. The food stuffs would be purchased from the War department's surplus stocks. The freight embargo was declared today by B. L. Winchell, Southern regional director of railroads, as a result of the shopmen's strike, and affected all lines comprising the Atlanta joint terminals. Members of the Atlanta executive committee of the striking shopmen gave the members of the union at Jacksonville, Fla., permission to clear tracks of the Florida East Coast Railroad "in the interests of mail and passenger service." Director Winchell reported that no progress had been made toward ending the strike. At a mass meeting of the strikers in Atlanta, a resolution was passed calling upon President Wilson, the officers of the union's grand lodge, and Congress to reduce living costs 50 percent, or increase wages of all classes of workingmen correspondingly.

AUSTRIA IN FEAR OF STARVATION

(By Associated Press) VIENNA, August 7. The government ha decreed that it will take over all gold, silver, jewelry, foreign bonds and forests which are in the possession of private individuals, who will receive compensation for them. One of the government's objects is to obtain funds to purchase coal and raw materials in order to provide work for the people, Incidentally to '.uy foodstuffs, without which the starvation conditions of last winter will be horribly accentuated this fall. It is predicted that unless the aUies

occupy Budapest and end the present communist regime the country's crops will be wasted and the people will starve In the coming winter. The first effect of a kind of blockade by a force of American soldiers along the Austrian frontier of Hungary will be to prevent money, or materials which represent money from flowing

out of the country, for it is known that the communists are sending money abroad for propaganda purposes. The Americans are experiencing great difficulties in controlling an Immense amount of contraband traffic that has sprung up in small border towns like Bruck, through which the communists are smuggling out money and Hungarians who fled to Vienna are trying to bring out their burled treasures and bonds. There Is said to exist a special smuggling service carried out by airplanes by means of which hundreds of millions of crowns have been conveyed out of the country.

For tho purpose of comparison, take the republic of Argentina, with a population of 8.574. 000 inhabitants and with an area of 1,139,000 square miles.

If Heat Causes Wrinkles to Form, Try This

If the heat tends to loosen and wrinkle your skin, there's an effective and harmless remedy you can readily make at home. Just let an ounce of pure powdered saxolite dissolve in a half-pint of witch hazel and bathe your face in the liquid. This at once tightens the skin and smooths out the lines, making the cuticle and underlying tissues much firmer. The ingredients of coursa can be obtained from any druggist. The saxolite lotion Is splendid for flabby cheeks or chin, as well as for enlarged pores. It makes a tired, wilted face more refreshed and youthful looking. Adv.
