FU. S, SEVERED RELATIONS WITH GERMANY-WHAT BY KENNETH W, PAYNE WASHINGTON, May 19.—It Gor many declines to accept President Wilson's views on the Lasttanta, and the United States declares for “nom-intercourse” with that coun. try, What would happen? What is non-intercourse? What would it meant I took my question to a leader— toa man high in the counsels of the state department. He sald: “It will mean a reassertion of in- ternational morality Non-inter- course will be a stinging rebuke, under whose ignominy no people} could fail to bow.” “The isolation of Germany by a policy of complete non-intercourse,” continued this statesman, “would bave many unprecedented results. ‘The moral effect in itself would un- uestionably be tremendous, There's a Precedent “It would be the only action, short of war, which would bring home to one of the belligerents the abhorrence felt in America for his disregard of neutral rights. “For this, at least, we have a prece- dent in our own history. The Ital-| fan government, in 1897, having failed to obtain satisfaction from! the United States for the lynching} of Italian subjects in the historic New Orleans riots, withdrew its minister, and for two years the Ital-| fan embassy at Washington was de- sorted. “The shame of this rebuke was keenly felt tn many dent believe such action on our part today would produce a similar feeling in Germany.

C., May 19.— If the captain of the ship of state just now ts Woodrow Wilson, the pilot at the wheel is Robert Lan sing, counselor of the state depart ment. He ts the man on whom falls the responsibility for determin ing the diplomatic attitude of the United States toward Germany The American public has no need to worry about its diplomatic af- fairs being in competent hands, so long 8 Lansing is counselor for the te department No one can talk to Lansing and not realize that the man is compe- tent for his job. Admitted to the bar in 1889, Lan sing acted for the United States in the Bering Sea arbitration; he was counsel for our government on the Bering Sea claims commission; he was solicitor for the United States on the Alaska Boundary tri bunal in 1903, and went to the Hague tn 1909-10 as counsel tn the arbitration proceedings there over the North Atlantic coast fisheries dispute, and saved the rights of American fishermen off the Grand | Banks. mode the German government. | He was agent of the United States in the American and Pritish claims arbitration in 1912-14, and suce: Argentine—and we ourselves might|ed John Bassett More as counselor be represented by Argentine at Berlin.” Thus far the non-intercourse pol fey appears simple, Washington foresees grave complications. How about Belgium? Germany might demand the re- turn of Minister Brand Whitlock with our other diplomatic agents, yet in recalling him the United States would be in effect recogniz- ing that Belgium has become Ger- man territory. Might Cause a War ‘i ‘This would be to recognize the establishment of government by force, which the president refused to recognize in the case of Huerta in Mexico. Again, complete non-intercourse would imply the dismissal of the German ambassador and his staff, as well as the German consuls in American cities. But to give Count Von Bernatorf! his credentials, say high official here, might very probably be taken by Germany in the light of a dec- laration of war, for the two have in the past generally been synono- mous_ “And non-intercourse,” continued the statesman above quoted, “would in it many leave open no peaceable method of) preventing a repetition of attacks on Americans such as took place in the Lusitania horror.” Perhaps complete non-intercourse commercially would be the most ef- fective of all steps. American goods are still filtering into Germany to some extent, and officials here consider that the greatest moral effect could be ob- tained by an embargo upon all such Rood!

PAYSSE TO WORK HIS WIRELESS NIGHT AND DAY The extension of the newly in- stalled port wireless from nine working hours a day to 24 hours, is the plan of Port Warden Paysse, according to an announcement in the April report of that department. The primary object of the wire- leas is to render quickest aid pos sible to any boat meeting trouble in the Sound. A report of business done by the port during April shows a gain of nearly $5,000,000 in import, compared with April, 1914, a export gain of $3,615,241. Trade with Russia on account of the war, and to which a consider- able amount of war munitions has been shipped, increased from $23,- 039 {nm 1914 to $2,107,821. Shipments to and from Belgium, leveled by the German invasion, have stopped en- tirely. Also no goods from Seattle have penetrated the line of British warships blockading the German const. Exports to the United Kingdom show an increase of $200,000, de- spite the submarine vigil maintain- ed by the kalser.

BABSON ARICO, Chile, May 3.—Imagine a country as large as the whole of Germany ond Austria, cut up by great mountain ranges and having only a few miles of railroad, Ima, ine this country to have a popula. tion equal only to that of Berlin and its suburbs, Imagine these people to be savage or semi-civilized Indians —speaking different languages— most of whom. have never seen a train, or even a four-wheeled cart. Imagine these people attempting to have a “republic.” Yet Bollvia has a government very much like our own, with a con \greas, judiclary and president, The inhabitants are supposed to have Formerly Sucre was the capital of Bolivia, but it was so inaccess- lible, the city of La Paz was made |the seat of government instead, This city is probably the most tn | teresting of any accessible city in the world.

Once nitrate @xisted in all countries in great quantities. But everywhere —excepting along this west coast of South America, it has been washed away by the rains, Hence the lack of rain is today the great est asset of Northern Chile! In addition to nitrate, Northern Chile possesses rich copper and other mines, The Braden copper mines—well known to all investors in the United States—are located Jhere, Moreover, .in the Chuquica |mata province is soon to be opened the largest copper mines in the world, These are being developed bys the Guggenheims. Other than in mineral wealth, Northern Chile is arid and barren, The average Chilean seems inter- ested only in today.

Had we been under the Spanish yoke for four centurles and had our savings stolen from us as fast as we accumulated anything would we have ever formed the habit of saving?
