HUPERT VOICES TEACHING GERMAN ~*Advocates Spread of English Lanuage Around World Dr. Julius Hupert of this city, in an open letter to the New York Sun, volces a strenuous protest against the teaching of Germanic languages in American public schools, brings forth forcible arguments combating it and declares that cven after tho war the American commercial sales- men will not need a knowledge of German, even in the Teuton coun- tries. In conclusion Dr. Hupert Wrges the spread of English and rec- ummends the establishment of a large English propaganda fund which wiil go towards setting up free ling- lish libraries and free schools for teaching English in foreign countries. The local physician's stirring letter foilow "Having passed through eight classes of a German gymnasium and spent over two years at the German iversity of Vienna, being very fa- liljar with the German, English, ench, Polish and Rumanian lan- puages and having studied some time o the Dutch, Malay and Italian, I .may know something of the impor- tance of foreign tongues in one's life work My experience has heen Jroadened and matured by three vears of travel all over the world. “The Gerr udy French, Eng- Ttalian, h and Russian. - do it because, to live and pros- they must sell goods to people who talk those foreign tongues.

He had no difficulty in finding the very suit to hit his fancy and he willingly paid the price, declaring that he be- lieved it to be worth fully $5.00 more. He saw a lot of other fellows there buying these special suits, also other suits at $20, $22, $30 and $35. He went away satisfied with his purchase and when the folks at home congratulated him on his good taste and economy, his satisfaction was complete and he is now taking comfort wearing his Twenty-five Dollar Suit and putting his friends on to the fine proposition at HOLLANDERS’ 82-88 ASYLUM STREET, HARTFORD.

FOR SUPPLIES Allies and Neutrals Pile in Their Orders to Uncle Sam lan- lis § New York, merchand creased s May 10.—American e is forming a greatly in- re in the imports of all the grand divisions of the world, and of most of the countries outside of the Central Powers of Europe. Not only have our Allies in Europe trebled their purchases from the United States but the Neutral sections of the world, whose chief imports are manufactures, have been compelled to call upon the United States to supply the merchan- dise which they were farmerly ac- customed to obtain from the factories of Europe. A compilation by the Na- tional City bank of New York shows that merchandise from the United States now farms a much larger per- centage of the imports of all the grand divisions than prior to the war, while in the c of South America our share of the Imports in 1917 tually three times as and four times s Manufactures were formerly chief exports of the now belligerent countries of Europe and manufactures are the chief imports of all the neutral countries of the world. When the manufacturing countries of Europe found it necessary to turn their fac- tories into producers of war material their power to supply manuactures to the non-manufacturing world was greatly reduced. The bank's figures show that manufactures normally form more than 75 per cent. of tho imports of South Amc . Asia, Africa and Occania, and that in all those sec- tions of the world merchandise from the United States is now forming a larger percentage of imports than when they were able to draw their supplies of manufactures from the factories af Europe Domestic Manufactures Exported. The total value of domestic manu- facturcs exported from the United es in the calendar vear 1914 was s than $1.000,000,000 and in the calendar year 1917 over $4,000,- 000,000. Exports of domc factures from the United cluding in this figure the two g “manufactures far manufacty and “manuactures ready for use” ag- gregated in the endar year 1914 $972,994,000 and in 1917 $4,018,000,- 000 and while much of went to Europe in the form munitions there were also large s in other classes of manufac- tures exported.

Increase to South America. The percentage which the United States is supplying of the imports of the various grand divisions shows greater increase in the case of South America than in any other of the continents. The official figures of Argentina show that merchandise from the United States formed prior to the war, from 13 to 15 per cent. of her imports; Brazil 11 t ol5 per cent.; Uruguay 9 to 11 per cent.; Chili 10 to 14 per cent., while with those countries lying nearer ta the United States, but having much smaller im- ports, one percentage from the United States was greater. Aggregating the import figures of all the countries of South America it is found that by {heir own official showing South Amer- ica took in 1910 but 12 per cent. of jts total imports from the TUnited States: in 1911, 14 per cent.; 1912, 16 per cent. 1913, 16 per cent. 1914, 18 per cent. 1915, 34 per cent. and in 1916 36 per cent. while the large increase in our recent exports to that continent indicate that our share of the im- ports of South America was in 1917 nearly or quite 50 per cent. of the and total. To Argentina alone our 1 exports of 1917 were $107.642,000 against $27,128,000 in 1914; to Brazil $66,208,000 against § 6,000 in ; to Chili $54,484,000 against §13,- in 1914: to Peru $22,070,000 nst § 6,000 in 1914; to Uruguay 2,000 against $4,153,000 and to America as a whole $312,421,000 $91,103,000 in 1914, tot agains largely | a| | | MANROSS AUTO CO.
