BIGGEST MONEY ACT PASSES THE SENATE 000,000,000 Adopted Without a Roll Call Yesterday ‘Washington, Sept. 26.—The senate snattered all legislative speed records yg$terday afternoon by passing - the $8,000,000,000 Urgent Deficiency bill, the largest appropriation measure in the history of the world, after less than flve hours of debate. The bill came to the senate from t9¢ house last week. It was reported with amendments to the senate late yesterday by the Appropriations com- mittee. It was taken up immediately after the senate convened yesterday, and its passage quickly followed, without a roll call or a dissenting ice. Senator Martin, the democratic leader, in charge of the bill," after a conference today with Brig. Gen. Crowder, Provost Marshal General, withdrew the committee amendment specifically limiting use of the $6,- 000,000 registration and selection fund to the million men authorized to be MMled under the draft law. General Crowder expressed the fear that this limitation might seriously interfere with the war department’s plans. Sengtor Martin substituted, with tjp senate’s assent, a provision limit- ing use of the money to the examina- tion and selection only of the num- ~ber of men who can be properly fed, clothed, and equipped by the war department. This, it is believed, will block Secretary Baker's plan to pro- cwl at once with the examination of all the remaining ten million regis- trants. It will, however, take care of the expenses of examining all the men the.war department can handle until congress reconvenes in Decem- ! ber. the | his provision was voted into | bfil almost without comment and | with no objection. The senate seemed ! willing to accept the committee's | judgment. Members of the commit- | tee made it clear, however, that they would be willing to aid in providing the war department with funds to —cet all new needs in December. Navy League Amendment Out. The 'controversy between Secre Daniels and the navy league was in- | jected into the proceedings when the senate reached the committee amend- ment authorizing the secretary of the to accept the furnishings and supplies donated by the comforts committee of the league. Senator Overman of North Carolina tried to have the amendment changed to force the comforts committee to make its cofitributions through the American | Red Cross society. nasy STILI; ADVANCING.

Increases Trade Twice and One-Hall United States exports to South America in the fiscal year 1917 were over two and one-half times as much in value as in 1915, having been in exact terms $259,559,458 against $99,- 423,957 in 1915. To Argentina alone the exports in 1917 were $82,382,884 against $32,549,606 in 1915; to Brazil $56,761,252 against $25,629,655 ,in 1915; to Uruguay $14,292,135 against $5,171,323; to Chile $44,573,185 against $11 181: to Peru $18,885,174 against $5,873 474, and to Colombia $14,906,786 against $6,675,564 in 1915. Imports into the United States from South America in 1917 were more than double those of 1915, totaling $542,212,820 for the fiscal vear 1917 against $261,489,563 in 1915. The greatest increase was from Chile, be- ing $113,789,130 in the fiscal year 1917 against $27,689,780 in 1915; from Ar- gentina $152,612,411 against $73,776,- 258 in 1915; from Brazil $151,638,245 against $99,178,727; from Peru $36,- 379,016 against $12,596,648 and from Uruguay $30,406,532 in the fiscal year 1917 against $10,492,649 in 1915. Argentina for the first time heads the fiscal year 1917 were $152,612,411 exporting to the United States. Our imports from that country in he fiscal year 1917 were $152,612,411 against $151,638,245 from Brazil. Up to 1917 Brazil continuously stood at the head of South American countries exporting to the United States, but the imports from Argentina show in the fiscal vear 1917 an increase of $40,- 000,000, while those from Brazil in- creased but $19,000,000. Imports from Argentina increased in the dec- ade ending with 1917 from $16,715,- 325 in 1907 to $152,612,411 in 1917, while those from Brazil increaser from $97,881,158 in 1907 to $15L 638,245 in the fiscal year 1917. Argentina’ is no longer a factor in the United States meat supply, the total imports of fresh beef from Ar- gentina, which amounted to 130,680, 021 pounds in the fiscal year 1915 and 52,680,436 pounds in 1916, were but 2,295,690 pounds in the fiscal year 1917. Argentina’s advance to the head of the list of South American countries exporting to the United States is due chiefly to the great demand made upon her for wool. In view of the difficulty of obtaining wool from the countries and colonies controlled by Great Britain. The value of woal imports from Argentina in the fiscal vear 1917 was $78,000,000 against $18,000,000 in 1915, Trade of the United States with Latin America has practically doubled since 1915 showing for the flscal vear 1917 a grand total of $1,554,000,- 000 against $810,000,000 in 1915. The exports to Latin America more than doubled in that period, while the im- ports show an increase of something over 50 per cent. The exports to all Latin American countries in the fis- cal year 1917 were $592,000,000 against $252,000,000 in 1915, and the imports from all Latin American Countries $962,000,000 in 1917 against $558,000,000 in 1915. For the ten- year period ending with the fiscal vear 1917 exports to Latin America show an increase from $230,000,000 to $6592,000,000, and the imports an in- crease from $335,000,000 to $962,000,- 000 in the fiscal year 1917, the total for 1917 being the highest on record both as to imports and exports. Argentina’s exports in 1917 show a marked fall off when compared with 1916 and 1915. The exports of wheat in the first seven months of the year 1917 amounted to only 756,000 tons against 1,637,000 in the corresponding period of last vear; corn 668,000 tons against 1,279,000, and linseed to 53,- 000 tons against 442,000 in the same period of last year. This is made up however, in some degree by the in- crease in exports of frozen beef, which amounted to 2,935,000 quarters in the seven months of 1917 against 2,465,- 000 in the same months of the preced- ing year. Wool shipments also are making their highest record and at phenomenally high prices. Argentine railways are proposing a large advance in freight rates, averag- ing about 22 per cent. a rate which they propose to put inta effect in December of the current vear. This Jarge advance proposed is based upon the increased cost of fuel, labor, con- struction and repairs. The proposi- tion for sweeping advance of 22 pPer cent is under consideratian by the Director-General of Railways, who has requested the railways to state their reasons for the proposed large ad- vance. Chile is supplying to the United while Bolivia is entering an entirely new field in sending her tin ore. Im- ports of copper into the United States from Chile in the fiscal vear which ended with June 1917 amounted to 138,000,000 pounds of pig copper against 58,000,000 in 1916 and 34,000,- 000 pounds in 1915. TImports of tin ore from Bolivia amount to nearly $3,000,000 in 1917 against practically nothing in preceding years.
