Washington, Nov. 7.-Precedents es tablished in the case of the American ship Frye, wheat laden and bound for England, sunk in mid-Atlantic by a German auxiliary cruiser in 1915, hre expected to lead the German gov 'ernment voluntarily to offer to pay for the steamer Lanao, sunk by a German submarine off the coast of Portugal. It is estimated that the vessel was sailing legally under the American flag and registry. The State department is making 'every effort to develop the facts, and it appears certain that due warning was given and proper care taken to 'safeguard the lives of all on board. The question to be cleared up is whether the Lanao was an American 'ship. It is known that negotiations for her sale by the American owners to a Norwegian ship owner had been initiated before the vessel started on 'the voyage. Now Lookout.

"I " * EEEPING TRADE AT HOME. * Competition with houses that sell by 'mail is often a problem which the nerchants' association in smaller 'towns and cities seek to solve. System 'recently asked a number of represon. 'tative associations what they bglieve is 'the best way to handle this problem. Five typical replies are given in the following paragraphs: (1) "We believe that real service, a willingness to exchange articles not (atisfactory to the purchaser, excel lent catalog descriptions of the mer chandise and-to some extent-price reductions have made mail order houses successful; and we believe that when the local merchant learns how to hmake real salesmen of his clerks, when he himself learns what real service means and knows how to control his own business, the mail order business in this state will begin to decline." (2) "One of our main objects in 'organizing is to hold business at home and place a price on merchandise that will give a saving to the mail order bustomer. We are planning a month ly house organ, to be issued to the farmers in our buying community, naming articles that can be bought here at mail order prices, with a mer chant's guarantee back of them." (3) "We cooperate as far as we can to keep trade from going to mail or der houses and nearby cities by pro moting the 'Buy in Freeport' idea. In 'this connection, let me say thkt I think the solution of the buy-at-home prob lem is largely up to the home mer chants. The smaller merchants in a city like this are perhaps too prone to condemn buying away from the city 'without taking active steps to real ize that they must adopt progressive methods of doing business; and that they must give service and goods which 'will persuade people they can buy at "They' do inore please your ta they sa ChI home'as well as or better than they can elsewhere, 'When the merchants let people know more about their business through advertising .And when they go after business with something of the progressive methods their successful competitors use, then they will solve to a certain extent the buy-at-home problem. There are some merchants, of course, who do this, and they are not the ones who complain most about the mail order houses and people going to other cities. (4) "Pay no attention to mail or der competition, is our advice. We urge members to make their goods worth buying, and their store service inviting., We believe that personal contact and seeing before paying will get business, if other conditions are attractive. We advise pursuing the same policy with regard to energy cities. Our retail stores draw trade from forty nearby cities, and this 'trade is growing larger every year. (5) "We have found that the less that is said about mail order houses, 'the better for the merchants in the town. An active campaign against them will create new business for the mail order houses instead of for us." 'System.
