NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1914, IN SOUTH AMERICA John Barrett Appeals to United States to Aid Repubics. Washington, Aug. 14.—The Euro- pean war has developed such a criti- cal situation in Sguth America that Director General John Barrett of the Pan American union, in his capacity as an international officer—that is, an officer of all the South American countries as well as of the United States—makes the following urgent appeal to the’ commercial and finan- clal interests of the United States. “As the executive officer of the Pan American union, the organiza- tion of the American republics de- voted to the development of com- merce, friendship, intercourse and good-will among them .all, I appeal to the banking, shipping, manufac- turing, exporting and importing in- terests of the United States to give at this moment every possible aid and attention to the critical South American situation brought on by the Buropean war. I also ask the i newspapers, in both their editorial and news columns, to give all public- ity possible to this matter so that their constituents interested in this situation may be informed of their responsibility and opportunity. *“While everybody must profound- 1y regret that a condition of war and the sufferings of European nations engaged in a great conflict should in any way be exploited for the selfish gain of the United States, its busi- ness interests have a duty and re- sponsibility in this crisis which must be met even if it may bring them vast material benefits. Looking at the situation in a thoroughly unself- ish way, it presents demands upon AugustSale Bargains — N Mahogany Furniture!

Rio De Janeiro, Brazil German-Americans Residing in Brit- ish Isles Face New Ruling. London, Aug. 14, 11:18 a. m.—The American embassy here today estab- lished the ruling that all German- Americans residing in the British Islas who apply for American passports must prove their naturalization as Americdn citizens or register with the police ag German subjects. This rul- ing is in accordance with a regulation issued by the police. The . American consul at Turin, ITtaly, reports that Americans in Buda- pest, Hungary, are well provided for. , Aug. 14.— A mutiny broke out among the crew of the German steamer Bluecher, which after sailing from this port for an unknown destination returned = short time later. The local police were called on board to quel] the dis- turbance, the reason . for which has not been divulged. | Lying in the port of Pernambuco are several German liners with g total of 5,000 German steerage pas. sengers on board.

THREE KILLED BY TRAIN, Leeshurg, O., Aug. 14.—Three men met death here early today when an automobile, stalled on the tracks of the Baltimore and Ohlo southwestern railroad, was struck by & passenger. train.

For compari- son it can be stated that the average imports from the United States of these ten countries of South America amount to approximately $1655,000,- 000. Bearing the fact in mind that the commercial relationship of South America will be exhausted and so well organized and systematized that seventy-five per cent. of these imports are only ordered about a month or two months ahead of their delivery, it can be realized how soon the present supplies on hand in South America will be exhausted and that she must depend upon the United States to make up the defi- clency. If the United States manu- facturers and exporters will exert every effort to supply this emergency demand without increase of prices, or unnecessary delay, they will ac- complish great permanent good for themselves, and the South American business interests alike. South American Exports. ‘““The same compilation of figures shows that South America annually exports to foreign countries products valued at approximately $1,177,- 000,000, Of this total nearly $700,- 000,000 'go to Europe. Of these products Great Britain takes ap- proximately $270,000,000; Germany, $157,000,000; France, $104,000,000; Belgium, $60,000,000; Netherlands, $44,000,000; Italy, $27,000,000; Aus- tria-Hungary, $22,000,000; with the remaining amount divided among different countries. For comparigon, it can be stated that these ten countries of South America export to the United States annually products valued at approxi- mately $250,000,000. “With, therefore, their principal markets for their raw products tem- porarily closed against them, these ten countries are looking for a place to dispose of their accumulating stores, and i{f the importing interests of the United States, including the manufacturers of raw material, can relieve the situation by increasing their purchases they may save the South American business interests from a financial crisis, Ships For South American Trade. “As nearly ninety per cent. of the exports and imports of these South American countries are carried in German, British and other Huropean bottoms, which are now withdrawn from the sea, all of their principal ports, like Rio de Janeiro, Monte- video, Buenos Ayres, Valparaiso, Callao and La Guaira are in a state equal to that of a formal blockade.” POWERS TO DEMAND EXPLANATION FROM TURKEY Sultan’s Purchase of German Cruisers Arouses Ire of Great Britain, France and Russia; Greece Also to Take Action.
