South America’s 1mporting declined sharply immediately follow- ing the beginning of the war. Her total imports from all parts of the world in 1913, the year preceding the war, aggregated slightly more than one billion dollars, while in 1914 they were but little more than 600 million dollars and have shown but very slight increases during the war. The bank's figures show the total imports of South America in 1916 as about 620 million dollars against over a bil- lion in 1913, and that the total im- in 1917 ap- proximate 650 million dollars.

In coffee and rubber the increase is compar- atively small, the total value of coffee imported from all South America be- ing approximately 100 million dollars in 1917, against 90 millions in 19 and rubber 26 million dollars in 191 against approximately 1913. The total value of merchandise | imported from all South America in | 1917 is about 175 per cent. greater than in 1913. In exports to South America the in- crease occurs, of course, in a very large number of articles, chiefly man- ufactures. Cotton cloths aggregate for 1917 approximately 10 million dol- lars in value against slightly less than three millions in 1913; tinplate about 10 million dollars in 1917, against 1 than one-half a million in 1913; auto- mobiles about seven million dollars, against in 1913: coal over five million dol- lars in 1917, against over one million in 1913; printing paper approximately five million dellars in 1917, against less than three millions in 1913 Ti- luminating oil in 1917 shows a total i slightly less in value than that of 191 but lubricating oil and gasoline, slight increase. In numerous manu- actures of iron and steel, especially those for mining and electrical power plants, the increases are large, espe- cially in the shipments to the Pacific coast of South America.

JADWIN Col. Edgar Jadwin, commander of a railway engineer regiment in France, got his men equipped and ready for service with a speed that caused wide- spread comment. It develops now that his success was primarily due to the fact that he ignored red tape in< | cumbrances which are required legally by the present system. It will be for Secretary Baker to decide whether Colonel Jadwin is to escape the re- monstrance that attaches to his course | or whether he will be commended for | his success.

The feeling when America went into the war, was that children should do their { share hy entering farm work and in- | dustry in large numbers. Now, how- | ever. the tide of pul opinion is | turning ainst the ation of child labor standards. The experi- cnce of England, France, and Ger many, well as the effects of al- lowing children to leave school for mwork in the spring of 1917, point to the wisdom of retaining and ‘nforcing the existing school atten- dance laws. The Pent *ducation and January | ing greater than ational first ever rel sylvania which rec state board ntly issued ulations permitting defective and re- tarded children under 14 or below ihe 6th grade to receive employment certificates, has now decided not to ssuc any such certificates; reports from other states indicate that the elaxation allowed 1917 will not he repeated without bet means of upervision over the children.
