W AMERICAN FLAG IN SOUTHERN ; SEAS IS POST-WAR RESULT By Lawrence Haas. . (United Press correspondent.) Rio De Janeiro. (By Mail.)— Americans here and in other Brazil- fan ports are awaiting the return of the “good old days” of the supremacy of the American merchant marine with a feeling of confidence in the restoration of their commercial standing, mixed with a spirit of pat- riotism. s . They ate hoping to see in the near future the Stars and Stripes floating from at least forty to fifty per cent of ‘the ships in the harbors of Rio, Santos and Pernambuco, a condition that has not existed for more than a half century, since the decline of America’s merchant - fibet, following the Cilvil War, and the introduction shortly afterward of the steel vessels by .Great Britain. “ The Brazillans and other South Americans were closer, to the United States than to any other country h_x the middle and fore:part of the lasi century, -through . contact with Yankee skippers of. Yankee. trading ships, but the neglect of America’s merchant marine, which ~dwindled after the “Sixties’” to practically no-] thing, coupled with the growing en- terprise of the Old World in the ‘rection of the southern continet, di tracted South America’s interest from their powerful sister republic in the north, and gave Europe a long 1éad in South America. Only the world war succeeded in accomplishing any real results, and from the efforts of the United States shipping board, the United States Chamber of Commerce, the Pan- American Union, and other organiza- tions and individuals, the outlook has again taken on a roseate hue. In 1911 only three American ves- sels fouched dt this port, in com- parison with' 287 abips. of American registry which entered Rio in 1868. From 1860 on there was a steady de- cline. - Since 1911, -however, there was a slight though steady increase, although during the two-year period of 1912-1913 only sixteen American vessels entered Rio harbor. In 1913 the first vessel of the United States and Brazil Steamship line entered Rio. In 1914, twenty-six American vesgels entered the port, but during 1915, for the first time fn many years the American ship began to.cote into it own again, wlhen 103 American vessels made Rio. The number of American vessels to make Rio in 1916 rose to 130. Ameri- ca's entry in the war naturally took most of the vessels out of the South American trade, and in 1917, 117 American vesséls made entry, this de- clining to seventy-one ships in léls. Sailing vessels again came into their own temporarily, due to:the necessity for using every steamship in the European war service. Of the seventy-one American vessels which entered Rio in 1918, only seventéen were steamships. Since the United States shipping baard has already made provision for fconsiderable tonnage to South Ameri- ca, 1919 promises to be the banner year since 1860 in the number of American vessels entering here.: Be- tween January 1 and March 7, 1919, twenty-seven vessels flying the Amey- ican flag entered the port of Rio. The registered tonnage of the ves- gels which entered Rio in 1918 totalled 2,737.281 tons. The ships, by nationalities, follow: English 448, French 93, Italian 64, Dutch 6, Argentine 15, Norwe- gian 157, Spanish 11, Swedish 24, Uruguayan 1, Belgian 1, Danish 24, Russiatt 2, United States €4, Greek 11, Japanese 16, Chilean 1, Portu- guese 6, Braziliap 184, Total 1,128 learned ANTLERED TRBETO =~ RECEIVE FIFTY FAWN AT SESSION TONIGHT Big Initiation, Banquet and With fifty enthusiastic candidates providing the entertainment, Be- midji Blks will hold what promises to be their largest and most epjoy- able meeting this evening, The work of initlation will be performed by the Bemidji-ladge officera; G Kreats, exalted mler, premding The second degree-work - will, be:, one ‘of the outstanding fedtures of . the evenings and H.'Z. ‘Mitche}l will The entertafnment commit- o of the lodge has arranged an . eTaborate Daniret “and - ¢ or ta follow the ceremonies. ; -...Jt had .been planned to n. tfle new club.. rooms ' of the: lo% this evening, but delay in the arri of furniture. has' necessitated ‘s post: . ponement of the opening.” EERT Candidates - from out of the gity " are: Frank Sutor, Cass Lake; B..J. - McGuire, Onigum; A.
