Uhiop of tiie, Nation's
' Transport Units
Chicago, Nov. 10.?(By the Associated
Press).?Thje question of
unipn and coordination of the nation's
transportation facilities?railways,
waterways and .highways?will bp.an ,
important part of the program of the
16th annual convention of the Southcm
Commercial Congress, to be held
bepe November 20 to 22.
This convention .will be tip second
held north of the Mason and Dixon
, line since the formation of the association
before the Civil War, the an;
nual meeting in. 1914 > having been
hgld in New York.
The congress has % taken a strong
position, .in, favor of linking the hard
surfaced, highways of the country
with the. navigable streams, water
fronts and railway systems of, the
continent. Still further action in this
work is expected to be taken at th:s
mooting.
The organisation was one of the
chief supporters of that part of the
fteat Office appropriation bill which
provided for the use of trucks in
Parcel Post work. Clarence J.
Owqne, president of the congress,
saA4>.that this has resulted in a saving.
to the consumer of 43 1-2 per
cent and resulted in the handling of
many kinds of perishable products
' which would otherwise have deteriorated
and been of no value.
The 60,000 rural route man of the
nationi he said, daily travel 1,100,000
miles of highways. This is 60 per
cent of the mileage of the highways
^ of the United States and the placing
^ of ; a one-ton track in the hands of
each of these, provided the roads are
hardu surfaced, will transport twothirds
of the food supply of America,
ha declared.
To the congress also is due. credit,
Drv Owens said, for the incorpora tion
into the appropriation bill that
section which provided for the distribution
of equipment of an approximate
value qf $300,000,000 to the
forty-eight states by the war department
to be used in highway construction.
This equipment consisted
of trucks and other war materials
which could hq used in road work.

TV answer given him is that the

fdition during the last f?pr yaar* and"Y
it shows. no slgps ofv improvement. f,
Various tnoans of relief hare been u
proposed but none so far have been }j
tried or cairled hot. Some works p
have been entirely closed down, while m
others are working on short time. t|
The-output of the government Works a
shows an increase over that of the
same period last year. This, how- ,\
ever, is not the result of revival of c
demand, but is due to the resumption tl
of work by sojne of the furnaces that l
were under repair last year. . Steel s
making establishments, except the o
government works, have been re- v
striding output. The total produc- d
tion for the first six months of the Ii
year will show a decrease of about a
10 per cent over the second Half of si
1V21.
None of the iron and ateel raanu- n
facturers is conducting business with n
any prospect of making a profit as u
the presnet market price is barely p
sufficient to cover the cost of material
and wages. ' <
The potential obstacles that ham- o
per the successful conduct of the iron o:
industry in this country are the high cl
wages and high cost of coal and until p
these adverse causes have been rec- b
tified it can hardly be expected to be tl
placed on a substantial basis. ' n

Philadelphia, Nov. 11.?Poland is
viewing its aproaching republicanism
with a joy and patriotic fervor much
like that which swept over the Am- D
erican colonies when they set up the ni
world's first representative form of
government, in the opinion of Fran- ?*

Eie Baldwin Locomotive Works, who 'r
as returned from a locomotive-sell- w
ing tour of Europe., Being president
Of the American-Polish Chamber of
Pommerce, he was especially inter- f*
ested in the affairs of Poland.
'The people of Poland are exhiH-1 1)1
rated over their independence >and ^
look" forward with- much expectancy s;
to their first election in the next few 4:1
weeks/' said-Mr. de St. Phalle in an

Mr. de St. Phallo said Poland, 1
France, Belgium, Rumania, Czechoslovakia,
and ,lugo-Slavia are closely 01
Sgreed in principle and wish only to ^
keep the territory they have and to '
{naintain peaceful relations with other
countries. 'They do not want war," {
he said, "and unless Germany be
cornea' aggressive in an attempt to re- ,.
gain its lost, territory I do not believe J
there will be another European con- ^
flict. for some years."
"Poland is one of America's best tj
future markets," he said. "Today it n
is buying cotton, copper, steel, ma- |r
chinary and locomotives from1 the -?
United States. It is fast rehabilitat-. 5,
ing its devastated areas and its railroads
of some 11,000 miles even now
are an industrial factor in Europe.
He said that Poland recently bought
7 000 freight cars in this country, *
and tiiat his company closed a con- J*
tiact with the country for 25 locomotives
and was paid $1,000,000 in
cash less than two months after the n<

1 .
London, Nov. 11.?Sandy Herd,
upon his arrival here from the United
States spoke with an Evening News
reporter regarding American golfers
and the reception they gave the ^
British team. "The Americans are
far more open handed than the Eng- Q
Ush," he said, "and their golf clubs
? a ? '? aav _ t . J 1 *.?
are paiauai. we nau a royai nme. -r
Our greatest difficulty was the series
of tremendous journeys by train (
which we made through the night, g
from one golf course to the next." ^
Herd described the American golf- g)
era as a very young lot who seem U y
play their best golf when in the
early twenties. "They piqk up the
game much more quickly than Eng- p
lishmen," he continued. "The stories
that they train for weeks before a
match are somewhat exaggerated,
but they certainly practice putting t
for halfhourt at a time, and it is at ^
putting they beat us." ... jj
Herd does not think much of the c
American caddies. He says they are c
useless. "They never clean your ball t
or your clubs," he says, "and the lat- ^
ter have to be dealt with on a clean- f
ing machine in the professional room.
They And it a great effort even to j
help look for a lost ball." j(

Berlin, Nov. 10v*-Tha lifts of' tl

less the outside world alters its pi
itfeai 'attitude' sad the mark in
roves, declared Br/ Thumr Amede
prominent Argentine economist, o
he'eve of his departhre from Beril
fter a nationwide study.
Dr. Amedeo is Argentina's genen
irector of public instruction in agr
ulture, professor of rural economy i
he Universities of Buenos Aires an
a Plata, and director of the Muse
ccial Argentino, under the auspic?
f- which the late Theodore Rooseve
islted Argentina. He reeumes hi
uties as Argentine delegate to th
nternational Agricultural Institut
t Rome next month, after spending
hort time in Prance.
In spite of his fears for the ecc
omic position of Germany in th
ear future, Dr. Amadecr voiced th
tmost praise for the industry mv
revailing.
"I have the impression," he sai<
if hftvfncr tMn on ??

f unsurpassable competence in a
lasses and activities. The Qerma
cople has the spirit of work in it
lood and marrow and bone, and fo
lat reason the German people wi
ot go under as did the Austrian."
He called attention, however, to th
creasing costs of living and to th
srious domestic results of deprec
tion in the mark, warning that thes
jctors might prove a strain too se
i-re for the workers to stand.
An economic collapse of German}
r. Amudeo was convinced, woul
lean heavy losses for all countrie
f North and South America. On th
iher hand he believed all would prpfi
reatly if the position of Germany'
idustry were improved and her trad
ere restored to its normal channel*
Regarding German-Argentina rela
ons. Dr. Amadeo said he found man;
crmans wished to go to South Amor
*i. especially to Argentina, but wer
i) ble to pay the costs of the voyag
Ccause of the mark's low exchang
ulue." "They are the sons of farm
rs, handworkers, and persons c
mall independent means who see
etter * pdospecta," he explains
They would without doubt be ver
seful to the young lands of Sout
merica because of their technic*
Ticiency and their ambitions to pre
tqss. Never would there be a bet
;r time than the present for th
>unding of a colonization compan
rganized on a large scale and pre
iouhi by tarm and employment en
les."
Dr. Amadeo incidentally expresse
igh confidence in the results to b
chieved by an international congres
f sociaf museum and similar institv
one which he proposes should be hel
t Buenos Aires under the auspices e
te Museo Social Argentino. H
aiced the opinion that these institu
ons should be more active in intei
ational cooperation for the improve
tent of the conditions of peoples.

1766 in tht AlUMSha river valley
near Port Barriftgton, Georgia, by
tI John Bertram, who once was botanI
fit to the kins of England. He named
n jit for his friend, the Philadelphia
d printer.
^ ! Because of its decorative value, the
^ tree immediately became popular and
lt those who gathered the seeds and
la reedlings for propagation are believed
e to have caused its extermination in
, the wild state. Agricultural Depart.
a ment botanists declare that many
eearchers have visited the Altahama
t valley in vain.
^ I The beautiful, mildly fragrant
e fragrant white blossoms of the
"Prankltaia" resemble somewhat
those of the magnolia, although the
j tree itself does not grow so high, and
' the leaf is thinner snd of different
l8 shape.
jj ' The Franklinia requires an "acid"
toil, a condition which horticulturists
a have not understood for very long,
r Wnd nurserymen found it so difficult
U to grow that now there are only six
parks or gardens known to have spece
imens. Two of the trees are in Ohevy
' Chase, one in Georgetown and anotnI
er in Hyattsville, Md., suburbs of
e 'Washington, while there is another in
bne or more others may be in a priVntfi
Tlliroort, n( r>?
r The tree immediately became popj
ular for garden and parking decorag
Ition, and those who gathered the
e heeds and seedlings for propagation,
t Sr iB believed, caused its exterminas
lion in the wild state. Certainly.
e Agriculture Department botanists de,
Irlare, many successive searchers have
^ bought in the Altamaha Valley in vain
y for the rare tree, and even yet, optirnistic
botanists still hope to have
e the honor of finding one or more isoe
lated specimens. As none have been
e ^een in this section, the only spot "
I. where the tree was ever found, since X
,f 1790, the beautiful-'species is held to ?
be practically extinct.? fj:
L j It will be-in a Anal endeavor to lo- 5
y cate wild specimens, that the National y
h Lumber Manufacturers Association 6
kj jwill send out the party. The valley 5
prill be thoroughly combed for several ?
^ 'months in the hope that the dense J
e swampy thickets of that region still i
y piide a few -of the trees. y
; The interest taken by residents of ^
jChevy Chase in the neglected speci- t
Uiens led- the Association to the task, i
d it was said that the dense growth of \
? pushes and trees around the two re- J
l8 jmnining'Franklinia trees in the gov- i
i. ernment'parking, in which they were \
d placed some years ago, was rapidly i
