Our lotal imports from that country in the = 28 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 year 1917 an increase of $40,- 000,000, while those from Brazil in- creased but '$19,000,000.

The exports of wheat in the first seven months of the year. 1917 amounted ‘to .only 756,000 tons against- 1,587,000, in ‘the’ cofresponding last year; corn 668,000 tons against -1,278,000, and to 53,- 000° ton's agdinst’ 442,0¢ in the same period of last year. This. is made up however ' in''some "degree’ by the in- el in exports of frozem beef, which amounted to 2,985,000 g in the seven mionths'of 1917 against 2,465;000- in the same months of the préceding year. Wool shipments also are mak- ng their highest record and at phe- a large advance im freight rates, ave- raging about 22 per cent, a rate which they propose to put into effect in December of the current year. This large advance proposed is based upon the increased cost of fuel, labor, con- struction and repairs. ‘The proposition for a sweeping advance of 22 per cent .is under consideration by the director-general of railways, who has raquested the rallways to state they reasons for the proposed large ad- vance. : Chile /is' supplying to the United States enormous increases im copper, while Bolivia is entering an entirely new fleld in sending her tin ere.

A Japaness Mountain Tragedy. “Phree students of ithe Kawagoye Middle * School, “Safi lost their lives im the Kobuzan, Chichibu, on July and iwc of their companions ‘were und in a serious condition. The Nobuzan is not so ‘ous a reountain as the Kobushi-dake. It is only ' 4,323 fe2i above the sea level, and lies barely three miles north of 'end .l -t 1 Omiya, the iargest town in Chichibu. The mountain is always climbed by tudents, and many wood-gatherers 2nd hunters visit almost all parts of the mountain daily whenever the weather is favorable. Under on3- nary conditions, it is impossible for students or any other people to be l¢st- in the mountain and meet with any danger. > The five young men set out on July 25. Spending a night on the road, they reached the summit on the fol- iowing day and should have returned to . Yoko-se-mura that evening: but as they started on their downward journey they turned aside at times to obtain fine views of the country be- lcw them. Departure from the main road was -the beginning of their tragic end. Unzble to find their way back to the trail they had left, dark- ness came on. At a precipice called “Byobu Iwa’ all fell over im the dark. Its height is 300 feet and those who fell dcwn were killed; the two not fatally’ injured had their falls broken by bushes. A wood-gatherer found the dead and wounded next morning. German Exactions at Lille.
