The diplomats claim that from the

proportionate with their strength.
The American delegates argued at

and that the views presented were
"not so far apart."

TO PROTECT RIPE RI ROS
Oovernment Will Not Allow Them To
Re Killed tiff.
Washington, D. C., June 1.- Notices
have been isued by Hie. U. S. Depart
ment of agriculture calling attention
to a proposed amendment In the fed
eral regulations for the protection of
migratory, insectiveorous birds. Un
der the new rule reed or rice birds
can be rhot in September and Octo
ber in the states of New Jersey, Penn
sylvania and Delaware, Maryland, the
District Of Columbia. Virginia und
South Carolina. The law requires
three months' notice of this ? hang ? If
it is decided to adopt it. the rule will
be officially promulgated at the end
of that time and will go into effect on
September 1, I al 4.
The effect ol' this change will bo lo
extend to sport; nu ti in Ni >v Jersey,
Pennsylvania, and Delaware tho priv
ilege of shooting the birds during a
period of two months. This they can
now do in Maryland, the District of
Columbia, Virginia UMI South Caro
lina. As the seas-in ia so short it is
not believed that thc bird? will suf
fer appreciably in numbera.
In the late summer and ?arly fall,
tliey migrate to thc far south where
they are known as reed or rice birds.
T'hey ure regarded in the stator where
they can now bo shot as offering good
sport.
Washington, June 1.-The United
States department of commerce bas
just issued a comprehensive report on
"South America as an expon, field"
which is of special Interest at this
time in connection with the work be
ing done, hy the Southern Hallway
Company and the companies associat
ed with it in developing trade with
South America by way of the South
ern ports served by their lines.
This report contains some Interest
ing information as ?o the methods
pursued by the United Kingdom and
Germany which are the two great
competitors of United States in sup
plying South American markets, and
President Harrison of the Southern
Railway Company today called atten
tion to the following extract from it
ar containing valuable suggestions for
southern manufacturers and mer
chants who are interested in the trade
opportunities of South America:
"The Germans owe a great deal to
their banks, which lend active assist
ance to schemes of trade promotions;
and the facility with which shipments
are financed and credits handled
through them has been noted as one
of the greatest German assets in build
ing up their South American trade.
The' most important influence for ef
fecting this result, however, has been
Ute thorough manner in which the
Germans have investigated the spe
cial features of each particular mar
ket and the pains they have taken to
ree that their goods fitted in with what
the people desired. It is the estab
lished custom for young men from
Germany who intend to engage in the
export trade to spend some years in
South America as a part of their com
mercial education, learning the lan
guage and studying the habits of the
people. Through them a first-hand
and detailed knowledge of the trade is
acquired and the information gained
ia closely followed. There are also
in Germany many private and semi
official associations devoted especially
to the furtherance of the German ex
port trade, and these not only dissem
inate information aa to the kind ot
j particular , articles required by the
, trade but often rubBldize agents to
j South America and other foreign
! fieidr who make ' a study of market
(conditions. The co-operation of all
(German influences in South America
.-toward the one object of furthering
trade has often been remarked, and
lit has resulted in the present high
?commercial position of the country in
tall parts of tho continent. The pro
l motion of the United States trade In
South America does not necessarily
depend on following either English or
German methods, but? as in the case
of these countries, both the invest
ment of American capital and the clos
er attention to details on the part ot
American exporters have been Import
ant factors In the trade increase-jf
the last few years."
