U. S.T0 LOSE TRADE "OF SOUTR AMERICA SOON, SAYS PAPER Associated ib : SANTIAGO, April 1. The South American countries will be commercial clients of the United States so , lonr as ..: they : are not able . to avail themselves of more advantageous market, saya the- newspaper Ultimas Notlclaa, in an editorial in -which it asserts American good 3 "ordinarily are of inferior Quality." The paper says the wr permitted the United States to enter into commercial relations . with 1 the - South Americans who '"by force 6f necessity were obliged to accept America's strange systems, diametrically opposed to those that had been used by the Kreat producing nations of the old world." It is well known, the paper declares, that the methods employed hy ttttn North American exporter differ notably from those followed by the exportew ;of Great Britain, and above al.vby Qenoaay. . Tb,e American "goods apart from hfha.-;:dinaTilsr6t Inferior quality, are-. estfjOJ. the pipe adds, "and in f rtd ltd cm. tJe. goods : ane badly packed. This regujfs4n heavy losses. Moreover .the,-Americana do not concede credit, and,if they. do, concede credit, it is onjerms Httlal acceptable,",,. Merchant Answers Charges, : Replying to the newspaper's charges of inferiority in American merchandise, a writer in the newspaper, El Mercurio, signing himself "Chilean Merchant." says: "If American goods are consumed by 150,000,000 Americans and Canadians In fact by nearly half the population of the universe are you not. able to be assured that American merchandise should be good enough for we South Americans?" ( , v An wering,,, the .. newspaper's assertiem -that ' Americas export methods are entirely different from those employed by the Europeans, the Chilean merchant says there are two reasons for this First, because -the Europeans hayej demonstrated that their .system of 'selling Baa-iiot proved beneficial since "it only has facilitated ficticious business without foundations, resulting in heavy losses through had arrangements tor bankruptcies;" and secondly, because the Europeans are not able today to extend long term credits through lack of means. The Chilean merchant thinks the period of long term credits has passed never to return. ' PERU SPEEDS UP JTS POSTAL SYSTEM (By Associated Press) LONDON, April 1.

A Turkish flag and several machine guns were captured by the Greeks, the statement says, and the Greeks advanced over difficult ground to a hill nearby where they repulsed more than a score of counter attacks and finally forced the Turkish forces to retreat. The assault which resulted in the capture of Kobalitza, on the right flank of the Greek army, was preceded by heavy artillery fire for the purpose of destroying redoubts and barbed wire entanglements.

Flannagan, secretary of the temporary organization, in the call for the meeting, issued today, declared the ned of'th" associations "for a voice in the control of the federal land banks takes on considerable importance as a plain business proposition when it is borne in mind that the farm loan associations now own 17 millions out of a total 24 millions of the capital stock or the land banks."

SOUTH AMERICA IS

URGED AS SETTLING PLACE FOR GERMANS (By Associated Pre MEXICO CITY. April 1. German immigration to Mexico has so decreas ed that not more than f 00 have entered this country since the end of the war. German officials have urged their countrymen not to migrate here at present, but rather to avail themselves of the facilities offered for settlement in the South American republics of Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. Information to this effect was given at the German embassy following inquiries as to newspaper reports here that an official request had been made in behalf of Germans for a concession of about 70.000 acres of land in Coahuila. Denel was made that the Coahuila concession in question pertains to German citizens. Counsellor Fuhr asserting that the request was made by naturalized Germans in the United States, principally from Texas, who wish to form a colony near Las Vacas. Coahuila and desert their American homes. Mentions Company. "The only pietenitous emigration from Germany to Mexico ended in failure," Counsellor Fuhr averted. "Shortly after the end of the war a colonization company was formed of s-everal hundred members who pooled their resources and purchased German, goods estimated to brins $800,000 (pesos) when sold in Mexico. "Two men were appointed to accompany the goods but unfortunately after they disposed of them they pockete the money and have disappeared Meanwhile the would-be colonists em barked for Mexico in large numbers tut since their arrival here they have been virtual wards of the permanent German colony in Mexico City, inasmuch as they had invested all their funds in the defunct company. One of the colonists, for instance, was a former German vice admiral. ,' He i3 now working as a laborer wit.l a surveying gang and is glad of the chance." Declaration was made further that the Mexican government as yet has offered no inducements for German immigration beyond mere transportatiou from the port of entry to the place of t-ettlement. Contrasted to this is the policy inaugurated by the "Plata republics." Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, whereby colonists of established worth are prmided with fre passage from Germany and liberal grants of land. Until other facilities are offered by Mexico and "homeleading" is made practicable, Counselbe advised to stay away. Short News of City New Manaq-r Here W. J.
