' WASHINGON, D. C. Oct. 22.-
That Latin American countries are
looking to the United States for the
capital and the market for their pro-
ducts which they formerly found in
Europe is emphasized in "Statements
on the Latin American Trade Si-
tuation." a pamphlet just issued by
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce of the Department of
Commerce, giving the addresses
made by representatives of Latin
American countries at a conference
with American business men recently
held in Washington. The pamphlet,
issued as Miscellaneous Series No. 20
contains the statements made by the
ministers from Bolivia, Uruguay,
Peru, and Cuba to the United States,
the counsuls general of Costa Rica
and Colombia in New York, the min-
ister from Ecuador to Engaind, and
others, besides the opening remarks
of Secretary of State William J. Bry-
an. and a statement by Secretary
of Commerce William C. Redfield.
Many obstacles to the development
of Latin American trade with the
United States were commented on.
notably the matter of credits and
that of a proper understanding of
the Latin American way of doing bu-
siness on the part of business men

The Mexican national convention at
Aguas Calientes, which recently vot-
e to itself souverign authority, all-
pointed a committee of five to "as-
sume the duties" of the five cabinet
position at Mexico City, according to
state department advices today No

Zapata and his delegates.
The test may come if the commis-
sion undertakes to assume its au-
thority. Carranza refuses to re-
cognize its sovereignty and proposes
to exercise the executive functions
until his successor is elected by the
people. Reports from Northern
Mexico show that conditions are still
unstable. Mexico City advices via
El Paso say the convention has ad-

LONDON, October 22.—Desperate fighting continues in Week-
ern- Flanders and in the northern part of France, between virtually
all of the Germans in Belgium and the forces of the Allies. The
Belgians are being aided by the British warships along the coast. ,
The River Yser still divides the opponents and neither seem
to be able to break through the opposition offered by the other side.
In the interior according to the German report tonight, the Al-
lies are retreating from several important points. The German re-
port is contradicted by the French report which says that the Allies
are unmoved in spite of the fierce onslaughts of the invaders. From
the Swiss border to the North Sea, both sides claim to be making
progress at certain points.
Apparently the sides are so nearly matched that neither to able

Lille’s Last Gift to Humanity.
LONDON, Oct. 22 — The import-
ant fact that domestic animals are
disease spreaders has been given in
the world after an exhaustive study
of Dr. A Calumette, director of the
Pasteur Institute at Lille. Just be-
fore the war broke out, Calumette
hastened his efforts to give his work
to the outside world: The recent
abandonment of the town of Lille to
the Germans closes the famous in-
alitue conducted here, and Dr. Cal
umette is giving his services to the

The dangers due to cats and dogs
is the warning Dr Calumette sees as
a result of his many experiments for
tuberculosis causes. Of the dogs he:
examined, those of cafes, cabarets
and restuarfants are often infected,
four or five per cent being afflicted.
Of the many cats in cities he has vis-
ited. one per cent are afflicted with
the bovine variety of tuberculosis,
probably on account of their diet of
milk
Dr Calumette’s experiments with
animals show that sheep, goats, hors-
es and donkeys are practically Im-
mune. while pigs, especially those fed
on milk, show important traces
The bacillus of consumption finds
