United States Invasion Repelled, | Mantfacturers here confess that to the United States belongs the credit, unwillingly it is true; of making it possible for the British trade to meet the great calls on its resources, Just twenty years ago there was an Amer ican Invasion of the shoe trade of Britain, and the competition was at once so successful that British manu facturers were compelled, in their own defense, to adopt the new Amer ican ideas or go out of business alto- gether, The British shoemakers quickly abandoned their conservative methods, introduced American ma- chinery and system and soon virtually drove ‘the American invaders out of the market. At the present moment the trade is 80 busily engaged on military work that the private customer has to suf fer, and the price of shoes for civil- fans has been advanced at least 30 ‘undaq s nsoy sous Juad Jad R 1916, Four Robbers Are Taken Near Sidney After Sharp Chase Sidney, Neb, May 27.—(Special.)
