Portsalon, Ireland, Sept. 20.—Salv aging $35,000,000 worth of gold Ingots and bullion from the White Star liner • Laurentic is reported to have carried when she was sunk the night of Jan uary 25, 1917, off Fanad Light, one of the northernmost headlands of Ire land at the entrance to Lough Swilly, is being conducted by the salvage ship Racer. The princely cargo, lay at a depth of twenty-two fathoms. The gold and bullion were contained in the strong day’s catch, if considerable, is^iSTs- patched to London with an armed con- .voy.

They have en- made clear for the divers fc_ ed values of goods, these figures in dicate clearly that trade is increas ing,” said Mr. Saunders. “Mexico will spend more than $150,000,000 in the United States during the year 1919, with imports of hardware, machinery, drugs and dry goods leading all oth ers. During the month of August we received more than 700 letters from firms who intimated intentions of es tablishing branches here. “The end of the war has brought sharp competition for Mexican busi ness. It is interesting to note in this connection that sentiment is giving way to sound business in dealings with the Germans. It will be remem bered that during the war a referen dum vote of chamber of commerce members favored a commercial boy cott of Germany after the war. This has been forgotten here and German firms, who are conceded to have the firmest hold on The hardware business in the republic, are buying practically all of their supplies from American dealers. Japanese competition is neg ligible.” A strenuous effort is being made to stabililb transportation conditions which present the most serious ob stacles to trading.

The first of these bars brought lusty cheers from ^the crew of the salvage ship, but tossing fortune about soon came to be merely another form of manual labor to these sailormen. Most of the gold bars were nine inches long, two inches thick and four inches wide and weighed about twen ty-eight pounds. ( For days not one was found as many of them were hurled clear of the wreck by the blast ing necessary to make the strong chamber accessible. Several feet of sand have now been washed over these scattered bars and beneath masses of twisted steel and it frequently re quires hours of patient labor to pry them loose. The record day’s haul so far has been forty-seven bars—worth approximately $350,000. Thus far several million dollars worth of treas ure has been salvaged. The Racer carries eight divers. ing and moving with centrifugal force.” . Thus spoke Henry Morganthau, who headed the United States investigation’ commission which has been at work in Poland and discussing today his ob servations in central Europe. “And what will be the result,” Mr. Morganthau asked. Replying to his own question he continued: “If disintegration keeps up among Germany’s neighbors' there can be but one result. I doubt whether Germany fully appreciates her own strength. As she sits, calmly watching the dick ering going on between the new states which are losing sight of great prin ciples and fighting over little strips of territory, she must take grim sat isfaction in the battle her enemies are waging in her behalf, and a Germany encouraged by such discord among weak and sruggling states, undoubt edly will resort to arms within a few years and regain her lost territory. “What will prevent the military clique from regaining control in. Ger- states against Bolshevism and milit ism, and if these new states continue their quarrels and weaken themselves they can not resist any enemy, much Iss a great untouched power like Ger many.” High grade Qss Largest iStock Courteous & fgQUBLE Their “tricks” arfi-^a .arrangad-that- many if Enmpe crmtlmreyTn nffpr Buch A MILL STORE ADV.
